Entertaining Children

  Chapter 766 Walking with fans

  Driving from Yanjing to Wuyou County in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the whole journey is more than 1,800 kilometers and it takes more than 20 hours. Even if you drive endlessly for a day and night, you may not be able to reach it. In addition, Xiao Yao still has to take fans with him and travel in multiple cars. It is inevitable to have to do some coordination work in the middle. If you accommodate each other, the speed will definitely not be able to follow the same car. Compared to walking, Xiao Yao arranged his time relatively loosely. He planned to spend three and a half days on the road, and he planned a self-driving trip for himself by the way.

  The road from Yanjing to Aba Prefecture is long. Xiao Yao also intends to take a self-driving tour, of course, he will not take two large trucks on the road together. Xiaoyao people set off from Yanjing, but the purchased materials did not set off from Yanjing, but from Guangyuan, a relatively famous city that was closest to the destination on the way. At present, all the purchased materials have been stored in the warehouse of a logistics company on the outskirts of Guangyuan City. After Xiao Yao arrives, he will load the truck and go together.

  Three and a half days, Xiao Yao planned to spend the night in Taiyuan, Xi’an and Guangyuan, respectively, and he agreed with fans to join in the middle of the assembly point in these three cities. Such long-distance and long-term self-driving tours are also dangerous. Therefore, when Xiao Yao chooses people to travel with, the young fans who are still studying in their teens are definitely not in his consideration. Basically, they choose The "old drivers" who are already working and have some experience in self-driving tours are basically young people between 25 and 35 years old.

This time Xiao Yao chose more than 20 fans to travel together. By then, it was too troublesome to contact one by one. Therefore, after Xiao Yao selected the fans of the same group, in order to facilitate the communication between fans who meet at the same assembly point, I also forwarded the basic information and contact information of the fans at several rallying points to each other, allowing the fans to contact offline by themselves, and nominated a person to lead the team to be responsible for contact and communication. In this way, the efficiency will be much higher.

  The journey from Yanjing is the farthest, and Xiao Yao has the fewest fans who choose to start from Yanjing with him. There are only three in total. Because of the small number of people, Xiao Yao contacted the three one by one. Although they also shared basic information and contact information with each other, it only gave them a general understanding of each other, and did not ask them to choose a leader.

  These three are all “veteran drivers” who have leisure, wealth, self-driving travel and rich social experience. Judging from the plan given by Xiao Yao, this incident obviously has no commercial nature, and there will be no professional team with corporate background to help Xiao Yao behind. Although Xiao Yao is a celebrity, he is also a young man who is only twenty years old. The agent next to him is not too old. He shouldn't have much experience in this long-distance self-driving tour. After obtaining each other's information and contact information, they also deliberately met in advance, wanting to discuss how they can better help Xiao Yao.

  Considering Xiao Yao’s itinerary and purpose this time, in addition to preparing all the emergency supplies and tools that may be used, the three of them had their own cars and they decided to drive only one car. In this way, if Xiao Yao or the driver of any car in the next two days is too tired or feels unwell, at least someone can help drive the wheel to change for a rest. If something unexpected happens, some of them can have the energy to help figure out a solution.

  When meeting at the agreed departure time and place, the three experienced "old drivers" saw the car that Xiao Yao was driving, first of all put down half of their hearts, and greatly increased their confidence in this trip.

  When they want to come, even if a young star like Xiao Yao, who has become famous as a teenager, avoids the media and organizes this event in an unusually low-key manner, he will inevitably have some youthfulness. Even if the driving car is not an unusually sassy and cool supercar, it should be the kind of sports car that can be very cool on the highway. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao's driving is in terms of performance, safety, and comfort. It is an off-road vehicle with the best overall consideration, but the appearance is relatively ordinary.

   What’s more special is that the car that Xiao Yao drove was exactly the same as the brand and model chosen by the three "old drivers", which suddenly narrowed the distance between Xiao Yao and the three of them.

  The six people greeted each other after they met and met each other. Xiao Yao was ready to go on the road immediately after meeting the requirements for a group photo of the three. Before departure, the three "old drivers" also proposed to send one of the Xiao Yao drivers to help him drive and let him rest on the road. Xiao Yao knew that they were kind. He was too young and worried about accidents on the road. However, Xiao Yao still smiled and refused the request to help drive. However, he agreed to let one of them get in his car and sit in the passenger seat to help. He pays attention to the road conditions. Anyway, the space in the car is large enough that Fang still sits in the back with Pei Minyi and will not be crowded.

Riding in Xiao Yao’s car also meant having the opportunity to have close contact with Xiao Yao for a long time. Not only the two "old drivers" who didn't drive their own cars wanted to go, the "old driver" who came in. She also generously expressed that she was relieved to give her car to these two guys who had only known each other for a few days, and wanted to go to Xiao Yao's car. In the end, the three of them decided to win or lose, and decided the lucky one who got in Xiao Yao's car.

  The road went smoothly without any accidents. Xiao Yao's mental state has always been very good. He didn't take turns driving with the fans next to him or Fang Dian and Pei Minyi. He controlled the steering wheel from start to finish, and drove the whole journey alone.

  Xiao Yao does not have a celebrity stand. Since everyone has been in the car, he will naturally not ignore them. Although they did not let the fans drive, Xiao Yao and others did not leave the co-pilot with fans, and they almost talked to them all the way. The reason why it is "them" instead of "he" is also because although Xiao Yao did not rotate his car, the three "old drivers" did. While parking in the rest area to take a rest, Xiao Yao's co-pilot's position was changed, and the three took turns to sit in Xiao Yao's car for a while.

   Xiao Yao has a lot of things in his mind, he has been to many places, and his eloquence is also very good. As long as he wants to talk, he can basically talk to anyone. Therefore, the three "old drivers" not only felt the approachable and easy-to-get-together side of Xiao Yao, the big star, but also felt the miscellaneous knowledge of this evildoer. It's no wonder that many celebrities who have been in contact with Xiao Yao will say that they will ignore his age unconsciously after getting along with him for a long time. These three have experienced it firsthand.

Xiao Yao had no plans to drive at night. The first day of the trip was from Yanjing to Taiyuan. It took more than six hours to drive on the road, plus the time to rest and eat lunch in the rest area, it would take almost a day. time.

  When we arrived in Taiyuan, night began to fall, and it was time for dinner. Everyone also entered Taiyuan City as planned to find a place to stay and eat dinner. At this time, the three "old drivers" also felt Xiao Yao's casual side. When eating lunch in the rest area, due to conditions, the three of them did not feel much about Xiao Yao eating in a popular restaurant, but after entering Taiyuan, the place Xiao Yao looked for was nothing but a clean and tidy house. In a star-rated hotel, the place to eat is only a popular restaurant next to the hotel that looks more distinctive, which makes the three of them a little unexpected.

  Taiyuan is an ancient capital with a history of more than 4,700 years and a history of more than 2,500 years of construction. Even at night, there are many places to visit and play. Even after driving for a day, Xiao Yao, who came to Taiyuan for the first time, didn’t want to miss this opportunity to experience this famous historical and cultural city. So after dinner, Xiao Yao did not return to the hotel room to rest immediately, but planned to go shopping in Taiyuan. One stroll.

  I heard that Xiao Yao wanted to travel to Taiyuan at night, Fang Jing, Pei Minyi and the three "old drivers" naturally wanted to follow along with them. One of the "old drivers" who had been to Taiyuan before volunteered to be a tour guide for everyone, and the other "old driver" reminded Xiao Yao to contact the fans who will gather tomorrow to see if there are any locals in Taiyuan and If you are free now, it's better to find a local to take everyone out to play.

Tai Tai was originally a rallying point in Xiao Yao's plan, but because Xiao Yao couldn't determine the time of arrival, and he didn't go on the road at night, he set the meeting time tomorrow morning. At this time, there must be fans who participated in this event in Taiyuan, but Xiao Yao did not take the advice of the "old driver", looking for fans at night to be his guide.

  Speaking of Shanxi, Xiao Yao is most impressed by the three types of vinegar, Fenjiu and Shanxi merchants. I have tasted the aged vinegar just before eating. Fenjiu is produced in Xinghua Village, Fenyang City, Shanxi, not Taiyuan, and this kind of wine is now available all over the country and even overseas, and it doesn’t have to be drunk in Taiyuan. Shanxi merchants refer to a group in ancient times, which is similar to the existence of a kind of culture. These are not concretized to specific places or buildings, so Xiao Yao has no special destination, and it is the "old driver". Came to act as a tour guide.

The "old driver" who acted as a tour guide knew Taiyuan well. Through a conversation on the road during the day, he was able to grasp Xiao Yao's interest well, so he didn't take Xiao Yao to see the modernly restored Taiyuan ancient city wall. Instead, considering Xiao Yao's identity, he took him to experience a unique local culture.

   At the first stop, the "old driver" took Xiao Yao and others to listen to a "Taiyuan gongs and drums". "Taiyuan gongs and drums" is a kind of local traditional gongs and drums popular in Taiyuan and Jinzhong, and it is included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. Xiao Yao is a singer-songwriter and he is definitely interested in music. In addition, several of his songs have similar opera elements like Peking opera. He should also be interested in traditional Chinese opera. Although Fang still and Pei Minyi looked a little ignorant, Xiao Yao looked at it with gusto.

  The biggest feature of "Taiyuan gongs and drums" is that the two teams are facing each other in battle, which is usually seen on festive days. Now that the Spring Festival is over and it is night again, the "old driver" can find a place to perform gongs and drums, which is enough to show that he is still very familiar and understanding of Taiyuan.

   At the second stop, the tour guide "old driver" still takes everyone to the show. The performance I went to see this time also belonged to China's national intangible cultural heritage, named "Wind Fire Meteor". "Wind, Fire and Meteor" is a traditional folk social fire performance art that integrates acrobatics and martial arts. The "Old Driver" tour guide will show you this, also considering that Xiao Yao has a martial arts background from elementary school.

"Wind-fire Meteor" is a rope tied to an iron cage at each end, and a burning charcoal fire is placed inside. The performer uses his hands to make the iron cages at both ends of the rope spin in the air, swinging in the air with the red charcoal fire. The trajectory forms a variety of patterns, coupled with the sparks generated by the charcoal fire during the exercise, making this performance very visually impactful, much more beautiful than simply beating the gongs and drums. Not only Xiao Yao watched it with gusto, but the two girls Fang Still and Pei Minyi also cheered and screamed endlessly.

  While watching "Wind Fire Meteor", Xiao Yao couldn't help thinking of a traditional folk activity called "Beat the Iron Flower" that he had watched on TV in his previous life. That event is also very ornamental, and the spectacular scene of sparks splashing is even worse than the "fire meteors". This traditional activity has a history of thousands of years, and there must be something in this world. Xiao Yao also secretly determined to find a chance to see it with his own eyes.

  After watching the two performances, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Considering that we have to get up early tomorrow to drive on the road, everyone did not continue to wander in Taiyuan and returned to the hotel to rest.

  At 8 o'clock the next morning, at the agreed expressway toll booth, Xiao Yao and the fans at the assembly point of Taiyuan successfully met. At the assembly point in Taiyuan, Xiao Yao chose a total of seven fans. They were divided into three cars with a combination of two, two and three. The number of Xiao Yao and his party increased from six to thirteen, and the number of cars changed from two to 13. Five vehicles have initially formed the scale of a fleet.

  Everyone is on time, no one is late and absent. Everyone got to know each other for a while, and after Xiao Yao took a group photo with the new members, they started to get in the car and set off. However, in the process of greeting, fans who joined at this point in Taiyuan heard Fang still talking about yesterday that the three fans took turns sitting in Xiao Yao’s co-pilot position to go with Xiao Yao, and all expressed that they would take the co-pilot next to Xiao Yao. Bit.

Through yesterday’s itinerary, the three “old drivers” who came out of Yanjing were completely relieved of Xiao Yao, and they were not embarrassed to continue occupying the co-pilot position next to Xiao Yao. They were very generous who had been driving with Xiao Yao. Gave up the position.

Xiao Yao doesn’t really need the old driver to sit by and help him pay attention to the road. He is a fan, and he can accept it. But when everyone has vacant seats in the car, he doesn’t want three people in the back seat. I don't want Fang still and Pei Minyi to go in the fan's car.

In this way, there is only one vacant seat in Xiao Yao’s car, but there are seven fans over there, and there are no more than three fans in total yesterday. Two breaks on the road will take a rotation. Today, there will be no six breaks on the road. , So there must be someone out of the wheel, and in the end everyone had to resort to a lottery to decide who would take Xiao Yao's car.

Yesterday, the three old drivers who came out of Yanjing were men in their thirties, while the new fans in Taiyuan were five men and two women, and the first one to board Xiao Yao’s car was exactly one. Female fans.

   "Xiao Yao, I just heard that Brother Liu said that you arrived in Taiyuan last night for dinner, and you went to Taiyuan to play in the evening?" After hitting the road, the female fan sitting next to Xiao Yao asked Xiao Yao.

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Since you are going to play in Taiyuan, why didn't you inform me last night? My home is local in Taiyuan. It is very convenient to find you and I am very familiar with Taiyuan!" The female fan complained, "And I gave it to you this time. It is stated in the information that I am a tour guide. If you call me, I promise to take you to Taiyuan to have fun and cost-effective!"

"Taiyuan is so big, where can I go shopping in one night? This time we went to Wuyou County, just passing by Taiyuan, and simply strolling in Taiyuan by the way. Anyway, it was not a special tourist. At that time, it was night again. I don't want to I’m not ashamed to call you out if I’m interrupting you to rest.” Xiao Yao said, “When I come to Taiyuan for a trip, I will ask you to be a tour guide, okay?”

"That's all right!" said the female fan, "not only to travel, even if you come to Taiyuan for performances, filming, activities, etc., you have to notify me. If you have free time before and after, I will take you. Go and play."

When we met just now, this female fan also heard three old Yanjing drivers briefly talk about their experiences yesterday. Coupled with Xiao Yao’s consistent image and the contact with Xiao Yao himself just now, this woman was already familiar with herself. 'S female fans don't see Xiao Yao as a big star with a sense of distance anymore.

   "Yes, a word is settled!" Xiao Yao smiled.
