Entertaining Children

It takes more than 20 hours to drive from Yanjing to Wuyou County in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, more than 1,800 kilometers. The fastest update, even if you drive for a day and a night without sleep, you may not be able to reach it. In addition, Xiao Yao has to bring fans together, traveling in multiple cars, and it is inevitable to have to do some coordination work in the middle, and make room for each other. The speed will definitely not be able to keep up with Compared with traveling in a car, Xiao Yao arranged his time more loosely. He planned to spend three and a half days on the road alone, and he planned a self-driving tour itinerary for himself by the way.

It is a long way from Yanjing to Aba Prefecture, and Xiao Yao also plans to travel by car, of course, he will not take two large trucks on the road together. Xiao Yao started from Yanjing, but the purchased supplies did not start from Yanjing, but from Guangyuan, a relatively famous city closest to the destination on the way. At present, all the purchased materials have been stored in the warehouse of a logistics company in the suburbs of Guangyuan City. After Xiao Yao arrives, they will be loaded into the car and left together.

For three and a half days, Xiao Yao plans to spend the night in Taiyuan, Xi'an, and Guangyuan respectively, and the assembly points agreed with fans to join in the middle are also these three cities. Such a long-distance and long-term self-driving tour also has certain dangers, so when Xiao Yao chooses people to accompany him, fans who are still studying in their teens are definitely not within his consideration. The "veteran drivers" who have already worked and have some self-driving travel experience are basically young people between the ages of 25 and 35.

This time, Xiao Yao chose a total of more than 20 fans to travel together, and it would be too troublesome to contact one by one, so after Xiao Yao selected the fans to travel with, in order to facilitate the communication between fans who met at the same assembly point, I also forwarded the basic information and contact information of the fans at several assembly points to each other, so that the fans can contact each other offline, and recommend a team leader to be in charge of communication. In this way, the efficiency will be much higher.

The journey from Yanjing is the farthest, and the number of fans Xiao Yao chooses to set off from Yanjing with him is also the least, there are only three in total. Because there were few people, these three were contacted by Xiao Yao himself one by one. Although the basic information and contact information were forwarded to each other, it was only to let them have a general understanding of each other, and they were not asked to choose a leader.

These three are all "veteran drivers" with leisure and money, 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 the scenes. Although Xiao Yao is a star, he is still only twenty years old, and the manager next to him is not very old. He probably doesn't have much experience in this kind of long-distance self-driving tour. After they obtained each other's information and contact information, they made an appointment to meet in advance, and wanted to discuss how they could better help Xiao Yao.

Considering Xiao Yao's itinerary and purpose this time, in addition to preparing emergency supplies and tools that may be used, the three of them decided to drive only one car as they each have a car. In this way, once Xiao Yao or the driver of a car in the next two days are too tired to drive or feel unwell, at least someone can help drive the car and take a rest. If there is any unexpected incident, some of them can have the energy to help find a solution.

When meeting at the agreed departure time and place, the three experienced "veteran drivers" were relieved when they saw the car driven by Xiao Yao, and their confidence in this trip greatly increased.

In their thinking, even if a young celebrity like Xiao Yao avoids the media and organizes this event in a very low-key manner, he will inevitably have some teenage heart. Even if the car he drove was not an extremely ostentatious cool supercar, it should be the kind of sports car that can be driven very well on the highway. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao drove a car with various aspects in terms of performance, safety and comfort. It is an off-road vehicle with the best comprehensive consideration but a relatively ordinary appearance.

What's more special is that the car Xiao Yao drove was exactly the same brand and model as the three "veteran drivers" chose.

This also suddenly narrowed the distance between Xiao Yao and the three of them.

After the six people met, they greeted each other and got to know each other. After Xiao Yao satisfied the group photo request of the three, he was ready to set off on the road immediately. Before departure, the three "veteran drivers" also proposed to send one of Xiao Yao's drivers to help him drive and let him rest on the road. Xiao Yao knew that they were well-intentioned, seeing that he was too young, and worried about accidents on the road, but Xiao Yao still refused the request for help driving with a smile, but agreed to let one of them sit in the passenger seat of his car to help He keeps an eye on the road. Anyway, the space in the car is large enough, and Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi will not be crowded in the back row.

Taking Xiao Yao's car means 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 car wanted to go, but the "old driver" who drove He also expressed generously that he would leave his car to these two guys who had only known each other for a few days, and he wanted to go to Xiao Yao's car. In the end, the three of them decided to win or lose by guessing the game, and decided the lucky one who got in Xiao Yao's car.

The journey 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 Yiran and Pei Minyi. He was in charge of the steering wheel from the beginning to the end, and he drove the whole process by himself.

Xiao Yao doesn't have celebrity airs, since he let people sit in the car, he naturally wouldn't ignore them. Although the fans were not allowed to drive, Xiao Yao and others did not neglect the fans in the co-pilot, and almost chatted with them all the way. And the reason why it is "they" instead of "he" is also because although Xiao Yao did not take turns driving, the three "veteran drivers" did. While stopping to rest in the rest area, Xiao Yao changed the co-pilot position, and the three of them 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 chat, he can basically chat with anyone. Therefore, these three "veteran drivers" not only felt the approachable and easy-to-get along side of Xiao Yao, a big star, but also felt the mixed knowledge of this monster. It's no wonder that many celebrities who have been in contact with Xiao Yao say that they will unconsciously ignore his age after getting along with him for a long time. These three have personally experienced it.

Xiao Yao has no plans to drive at night. The first day's itinerary is from Yanjing to Taiyuan. It will take more than six hours to drive on the road, plus the rest and lunch time in the rest area, it will take almost a full day. time.

When we arrived in Taiyuan, night began to fall, just in time for dinner. Everyone also went into Taiyuan City to find a place to stay and have dinner as planned. At this time, the three "veteran drivers" also felt Xiao Yao's casual side. When eating lunch in the rest area, due to limited conditions, the three of them didn't have much feeling for Xiao Yao eating in a popular restaurant, but after entering Taiyuan City, Xiao Yao's lodging was nothing more than a clean and tidy three-star restaurant. In a star hotel, the place to eat is only a popular restaurant next to the hotel, which 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. 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, did not 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. take a stroll.

Hearing that Xiao Yao wanted to take a night tour of Taiyuan, Fang Yiran, Pei Minyi and the three "veteran drivers" naturally wanted to go along with great interest. One of the "veteran drivers" who had been to Taiyuan before volunteered to be a tour guide for everyone, and the other "veteran driver" reminded Xiao Yao that he should contact the fans who will gather tomorrow to see if there are any Taiyuan locals and If you are free now, why not find a local to come out and take everyone to play.

Taiyuan was originally a gathering point in Xiao Yao's plan, but because Xiao Yao couldn't determine the time of arrival, and because he didn't go on the road at night, he set the meeting time for 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" and asked fans to come out at night to be his own tour guide.

Speaking of Shanxi, what impresses Xiao Yao the most is mature vinegar, Fenjiu and Shanxi merchants. I have tasted the mature vinegar just now when I was eating. Fenjiu is produced in Xinghua Village, Fenyang City, Shanxi Province, not Taiyuan. Moreover, this kind of wine can be bought all over the country and even overseas, so you don’t have to drink it in Taiyuan. Shanxi merchants refer to a group in ancient times, similar to the existence of a kind of culture. These are not embodied in specific places or buildings, so Xiao Yao does not have any special destination, so the "old driver" Come on as a tour guide.

The "old driver" who acted as a tour guide knew Taiyuan quite well, and through conversations on the road during the day, he had a good grasp of Xiao Yao's interests, so he didn't take Xiao Yao to see the ancient city wall of Taiyuan restored in modern times. Instead, considering Xiao Yao's identity, he took him to experience the unique local culture.

At the first stop, the "old driver" took Xiao Yao and others to listen to a "Taiyuan Gong and Drum". "Taiyuan gongs and drums" is a kind of local traditional gongs and drums music popular in Taiyuan and Jinzhong, and it has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. Xiao Yao is a singer-songwriter, so he must be interested in music, and some opera elements similar to Peking Opera appear in several of his songs, so he should also be interested in traditional Chinese opera. Although Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi looked at it a little ignorantly, Xiao Yao watched it with gusto.

The biggest feature of "Taiyuan Gong and Drum" is that the two teams fight against each other, which is usually seen on a festive day. Now that the Spring Festival has passed 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 with and understands Taiyuan.

At the second stop, the tour guide "Old Driver" still took everyone to watch the show. The performance I went to see this time also belongs to China's national intangible cultural heritage, and it is called "Fenghuo Meteor". "Fenghuo Meteor" is a traditional folk performance art that combines acrobatics and martial arts. The tour guide "Old Driver" took everyone to see this, also considering Xiao Yao's background in martial arts from elementary school.

"Fenghuo Meteor" is to tie an iron cage at both ends of a rope, and put a burning charcoal fire inside. The performer makes the iron cages at both ends of the rope rotate in the air through the movements of both hands, and swings in the air with the red charcoal fire. The trajectory forms various patterns, and the sparks splashed by the charcoal fire during the movement make this performance very visually impactful, which is much more beautiful than simply beating gongs and drums. Not only Xiao Yao watched with relish, but the two girls, Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi, also cheered and screamed non-stop.

When watching "Feng Huo Meteor", Xiao Yao couldn't help but think of a traditional folk activity called "Strike the Iron Flower" that he had seen on TV in his previous life. That activity is also very entertaining, and the spectacular scene of sparks splashing is even worse than that of "Fenghuo Meteor". This traditional activity has a history of thousands of years, and there must be something in this world, Xiao Yao also made up his mind to find a chance to see it for himself.

After watching two performances, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Considering that we have to get up early tomorrow and drive on the road, we stopped wandering around Taiyuan and returned to the hotel to rest.

At 8:00 the next morning, Xiao Yao and the fans at the assembly point in Taiyuan successfully met beside the agreed expressway tollbooth. At the assembly point in Taiyuan, Xiao Yao chose a total of seven fans, who were divided into three cars in 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 also changed from two to three. Five vehicles initially formed the size of a convoy.

Everyone was on time and no one was late. Everyone got to know each other for a while, and after Xiao Yao took a group photo with the newcomers, he got in the car and set off. However, in the process of exchanging pleasantries, the fans who joined at this point in Taiyuan heard that Fang still said that the three fans took turns sitting in Xiao Yao's co-pilot seat with Xiao Yao yesterday, and they all expressed that they would sit next to Xiao Yao's co-pilot bit.

After yesterday's one-day itinerary, the three "old drivers" who came out of Yanjing were completely relieved of Xiao Yao, so they didn't feel embarrassed to continue to occupy the co-pilot position next to Xiao Yao. They who had already accompanied Xiao Yao in driving were very generous. gave way.

Xiao Yao didn’t really need the old driver to sit aside to help him keep an eye on the road conditions. He was a fan, and he could accept whoever was sitting in the car. He didn't want Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi to ride in a 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 it is no different from the three fans in total yesterday, and the two rests on the road will take a turn. Today, there will not be as many rests on the road as six , so there must be someone who can't get the car, and in the end everyone had to adopt the method of drawing lots to decide who will take Xiao Yao's car.

The three old drivers who came out of Yanjing yesterday were all 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 happened to be a female fans.

"Xiao Yao, I just heard from Brother Liu that you arrived in Taiyuan yesterday at dinner time, and you went to play in Taiyuan City at night?" After going on 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 notify me last night? My family is from Taiyuan, so it is very convenient to find you when I come out, and I am very familiar with Taiyuan!" the female fan complained, "And I gave you this time It is stated in the information that I am a tour guide. If you invite me, I promise to take you to Taiyuan to have fun and cost-effective!"

"Taiyuan is so big, how can we go shopping in one night? We are going to Wuyou County this time, and we just passed by Taiyuan, and we did a brief stroll in Taiyuan. Anyway, we didn't come here for tourism, and it was already night at that time. I don't want to If I disturb your rest, I don't have the nerve to call you out." Xiao Yao said, "When I come to Taiyuan for a trip, I will ask you to be my tour guide, okay?"

"That's a good deal!" said the female fan, "Not only come to travel, even if you come to Taiyuan for performances, filming, events, etc., you have to inform me. If you have free time before or after, I will take you Go play."

When we met just now, this female fan also listened to three old Yanjing drivers briefly describe their experiences yesterday, plus Xiao Yao's consistent image and the contact with Xiao Yao himself just now, this temperament is already a bit familiar. Many female fans no longer regard Xiao Yao as a big star with a sense of distance. )!!
