The weather in the four seasons is always like early spring, with cold ending in coolness and summer ending in warm. The temperature difference between the four seasons in Dali is not very large and is relatively pleasant.
The September breeze blew, blowing the hair of a beautiful thirty-two-year-old woman. The woman was wearing casual, loose black jeans, small boots, a large white V-neck, a green light windbreaker, sunglasses, and her long hair flying in the wind.
She stood on the side of the road, blocking the silver suitcase with her legs, lowering her head and playing with her mobile phone.
Such a picture is very eye-catching. The old drivers, who were usually friendly and prosperous, became irritable once the steering wheel was in their hands. They slowed down slightly fifty meters in front of this woman. One car is slower, the other is slower, and everyone drives past the woman in a tacit understanding. This is a man.
Life is life, and an old wife is an old wife. No matter what, it should not delay men from appreciating beauty. In this regard, women should be the same. They will always look twice at handsome people. This is people's common pursuit of beauty.
Of course Xu Hongdou couldn't notice it. After all, the lanes here were clear, so a little brake wouldn't be obvious. She stood on the street and looked around, wanting to wait for a bus. She had passed several cars before, but she didn't sit on them until they had negotiated a price. Anyway, she had plenty of time this time, and it was only morning, so there was no rush.
When she picked up her phone again and was typing and chatting with someone, her peripheral vision was blocked by a car.
She looked up and saw a black pickup truck with a body full of dust and stains slowly stopping in front of her. This pickup truck is very tall. The bucket at the back has been modified and sealed, and there is a tent frame on the top. It looks like it has traveled a long distance.
As she watched, the passenger window was lowered, and a man with deep eyes, a resolute face, short hair that was scattered in the wind, and a kind smile on the corner of his mouth gave people a harmless smile. Hehe said: "Hi, beauty. I want to go around the Erhai Lake for a week. Seeing that you are just here to travel, get in the car and I will give you a ride."
While talking, Wang Yan opened the door, got out of the car from the driver's seat, opened the car at the back and said, "Put the suitcase here."
Seeing that Xu Hongdou was a little dazed, he waved and said: "Hey, bring the suitcase here, why are you standing there? Oh, are you worried that I am a bad person? Don't worry, look around, there are cameras everywhere. Look at my license plate, it's not a trap. Damn it, have you seen this Liao N? If I do something wrong, I won't be able to get to Dali, and we won't have the chance to meet each other."
Xu Hongdou waved her hands quickly: "No, no, it's just that you were too enthusiastic. I didn't react at the moment, so I'll trouble you. Thank you." She put her phone in her pocket and dragged her suitcase over.
Wang Yan knew very well that Xu Hongdou actually wanted to refuse to get into the car of a stranger like him. This has nothing to do with whether he is a bad person or not, it is just the precaution a person should have against strangers. However, he never asked Xu Hongdou if he was willing to get in his car from the beginning. He also got out of the car, leaving no room for Xu Hongdou to refuse. To put it bluntly, he was quite interesting, his eyes were pure, and his appearance was not ugly. Xu Hongdou was just here to have fun, see the scenery and interesting people, so of course there was no need to refuse.
"I understand you, this is normal. Nowadays, society is developing rapidly, and interpersonal relationships are changing rapidly. People keep distance from each other, and they are not used to unfamiliar social interactions. But you may have to adapt now, because you are yourself Alone. After all, people are social animals that live in groups. Few people can really do many things alone, especially when they go out to play. After all, there are always some scenery to share, so relax."
Wang Yan lifted her suitcase with one hand: "Hey, there are a lot of things. It seems that you have been here for a long time."
"Why can't it be that I want to take everything with me and travel is like moving?"
"Because you have a straightforward temperament." Wang Yan easily stuffed the suitcase into the car body and closed the door of the car body. "Okay, let's get in the car."
When he got to the car, Xu Hongdou looked at the environment inside the car. In the back seat, there were some energy drinks, mineral water, etc., as well as a computer bag, and various other large and small packages, but they were placed casually. , which can’t be said to be chaotic.
She raised her hands and asked curiously: "How do you know I'm so stupid?"
"The car is a little dirty. Wipe your hands." Wang Yan took out a tissue from the center console and handed it to her. "As for how to tell, this is a matter of experience. The more people you meet, the more conscious you will be to pay attention. Analysis, it’s natural to have a feeling. I believe you feel it too, otherwise how could you get in my car.”
Xu Hongdou smiled. She worked as a manager in a hotel and met a lot of people. Of course she also felt that who was easy to talk to and who was difficult to deal with. If she didn't keep these things in mind, it would be difficult for her to do her job.
Seeing her smiling and saying nothing, Wang Yan played the music: "Where are we going? Let me see how we get there."
"Yunmiao Village, do you know?"
"Of course I know. I guess you are going to Youfeng Xiaoyuan. The boss's name is...oh, I remember, Xie Xiaochun, right?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Xu Hongdou opened his eyes wide, then realized and asked, "You're not going there too, are you?"
"What a coincidence." Wang Yansong put the handbrake in gear and started. The modified Raptor pickup truck entered the main road and drove neither fast nor slowly. "It's near the ancient city. I wanted to go a little further and circle around Erhai Lake. , if you are not in a hurry, we can go along. If you are in a hurry, I can send you to the ancient city first, and you can find a way to get there, and I will go around after I finish, what do you think?"
"Forget it, since we are all in the windy courtyard, let's go together. Anyway, I am planning to go around the Erhai Lake in the next two days. They say this is a must-do project. I feel incomplete if I don't do it."
Maybe because Xu Hongdou knew he was staying in a B&B, he let down some of his wariness. Maybe it was because Xu Hongdou was like this, but in short, he felt a lot more relaxed when talking.
She said: "My name is Xu Hongdou, how should I call you?"
"Wang Yan."
"Did you drive all the way from Liao Province? That's awesome."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's right."
Um? Seeing him like this, Xu Hongdou became curious: "Is that so?"
"I set out from Liao Province seven years ago. I first traveled around Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, and Western Xinjiang, and then went to Gansu, Ningxia, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei, etc. Yun Province is the last stop."
"Hey, I've traveled all over China. It's really amazing."
Wang Yan waved his hand: "I dare not say that it is so easy to travel all over China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land. I just visited large and medium-sized cities in various places and visited famous scenic spots in various places. , and there are many places that I have never been to. Really traveling all over China is something that can only be accomplished in just seven years."
"That's great. How many people can do what you do? Hey, um..." Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment. Although he was a little taboo, he still asked in the spirit of being out and about, " I would like to ask, you have been traveling by car for seven years, and I think your car is not cheap, right? You also spent a lot of gas and tolls along the way. You also have other expenses for food, drink and entertainment, so what do you live on? of?"
"Of course my family is rich." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and explained, "Actually, it's not particularly rich. It's just that my parents left some money, and I know some financial management, so the income is pretty good. In addition, I also earn a lot of money on the road. I can take photos, contribute to domestic and foreign websites, magazines, etc., and also provide some paid photography tutorials, and I can also make some money."
Speaking of which, this drama is rare and relatively normal. There are no such disgusting values and no such disgusting female characters. Even if it is a normal petty bourgeoisie literary and artistic life, it is still acceptable.
According to Xu Hongdou's travel expenses, the cost of staying in a B&B for three months is less than 10,000 yuan. The normal expenses for a month are about 3,400,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, etc., which adds up to more than 20,000 yuan. Xu Hongdou works as a manager in a five-star hotel in Beijing and earns more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. After graduating and working for so many years, it is normal to save some money. It is also common to spend more than 20,000 yuan on a trip. And throughout the whole play, the characters in the play didn't make any shocking remarks, and they weren't that offensive.
What this play conveys is also some literary and artistic pursuit of poetry and distance, or in other words, trying to be yourself and live the life you want, which is not bad.
Xu Hongdou realized that "his parents left him some money." Money was one thing, but his parents were both dead. She nodded and sighed, "You live a fairy life, which is really enviable. Unlike workers like us, who have to deal with bosses and customers every day, working hard, draining the spirit, and wearing down the body. I have lost my ideals, no direction, and no hope..."
"But there are also people who find value and happiness in their work, so we can't generalize."
Just at this moment, the music playing in the car ended and switched to the next song.
Are you not satisfied with your life? You haven't laughed for a long time and you don't know why. Since you are unhappy and don't like it here, why not go all the way west to Dali...
They were driving on the road around Erhai Lake. Looking to the left, they saw Cangshan Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round. The music playing in the car was "Go to Dali", and they felt like they were coming up. The Erhai Lake is very lively. Some people are riding bicycles together and chatting and laughing. Some people are driving convertibles and yelling. There are also people who are performing talents on the mobile phones on the stands at the Erhai Lake and shouting to the big brother to pay attention...
Xu Hongdou opened the car window and lay on it, letting the wind blow her hair. The car was not going very fast and it felt just right. She closed her eyes in contentment and enjoyed the feeling at the moment.
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, leaning on the car window with his left hand to support his chin, and controlling the shiny huanghuali steering wheel with his right hand. The living father knew that it was good at this, so he took care of his good old son, and completely changed the entire Raptor from the inside out. The interior decoration was made exquisite and harmonious, and became a world apart from the wild exterior.
After a long time, Xu Hongdou came back to his senses and looked at the strange man next to him who was holding the steering wheel with one hand: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."
"So you are not satisfied with your life? Or are you emotionally hurt and are you here to relax?"
"Don't you feel it after meeting too many people? Guess?"
Wang Yan pretended to be thoughtful, thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's a matter of emotional injury."
Xu Hongdou smiled and said: "Wrong, it seems that your feeling is not accurate."
"Emotional injury does not specifically refer to the injury between a man and a woman. There is love, family affection, and friendship. I guess you are hurting because of friendship."
Listening to Wang Yan's statement, Xu Hongdou's eyes widened and she felt a little embarrassed: "Can you feel this?"
"The eyes are the windows to the soul, and I can see it in your eyes. The sadness of these three people is different, and the behaviors and words they express are also different. I can't tell you the precise words between them. difference."
Xu Hongdou felt surprised and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."
After saying that, she picked up the phone and fiddled with it. It seemed that the operation of her fingers was chatting with someone. After a while, she asked: "Do you mind being in the mirror?"
"certainly."
Xu Hongdou picked up her mobile phone and said while taking pictures: "I am now at the Erhai Lake. Look, there are many people here and it is very lively. This is a kind person who happened to meet me and booked the same B&B as me. He is from Liao Province. He has been traveling by car for seven years and has traveled all over China. He is also a photographer... Over there is Cangshan Mountain, where the snow never melts all year round. I will climb up the mountain in two days to show you."
When he was photographed, Wang Yan turned his head very cooperatively and showed his face, saying hello with a bright smile. He is already thirty years old in the real world, and he was also thirty when he came here, but who is not a thirty-year-old boy?
After chatting for a while and chatting with Wang Yan, Xu Hongdou sighed and asked, "How long are you going to stay here?"
"I have been to almost all the places in Yun Province, except for Dali and Lijiang. I may not be able to stay long, or I may just stay."
"Leave?"
Wang Yan nodded: "I think the environment here is good, the climate is good, and it is a famous scenic spot with many tourists. Maybe, I will open a B&B, or a bar, coffee shop, tea house or something, and study every day Reading the newspaper, don’t feel that way. After all, I have been gone for seven years and am turning 30 this year. Maybe it’s time to stop and take care of retirement in advance. But I don’t know why, but this thought suddenly came to my mind recently. Lingering.
In the past, I always wanted to travel around the world, but at that time I thought that the land under my feet had not been traveled, so what else was there to think about? So I started a self-driving tour across the country. But after these seven years, I feel a little tired and don’t want to leave anymore. To use what you said before, there is no direction. I don't even know what to do next. I am a wanderer with no roots, and I don’t know where I will end up..."
Xu Hongdou took a deep breath and said nothing. She was a little embarrassed because she noticed that Wang Yan was in a low mood, and she thought she was thinking of her deceased parents and the hometown she didn't want to return to.
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "No more, the atmosphere is a bit dull. Come on, let's change the song to change the mood. Caiyunzhinan, oh, no, this song doesn't have Erhai Cangshan, this one does, Dream Back to Yunnan, let's go." "
He operated the screen, swiped twice to find the song, clicked to play, passionate and dynamic music played, and the song echoed.
I want to fly over the Erhai Lake, Cangshan Mountain, fly up to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, fly to the world that day, and watch the sunset reflect the red and blue sky...
Xu Hongdou listened to this ordinary song with a smile. Her evaluation was: "Not as good as Caiyun Zhinan."
"I said it's not as good as Caiyunzhinan, but just for the sake of those two sentences at the beginning, let's just listen to it." Wang Yan also smiled, and then said, "Actually, I should have taken two photos of you, but instead There’s no rush now, you have to live here for a while anyway, let’s talk about it in a few days when you have time.”
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment and asked: "The reason why you pulled me is because you want me to be a model for you, right?"
"That's what I meant at first. You are beautiful and have a fairy spirit, which is just right. But now that we know that we are in a B&B, we don't have to worry. You can't run away."
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world."
"From what you said, it sounds like I have some evil intentions. My photography skills are pretty good, so you won't suffer. Just go to Weibo and search my name and you'll find out."
Xu Hongdou picked up the phone again and did what Wang Yan said. She had wanted to ask about it before, but she was in a bad mood just now. Now Wang Yan mentioned it again. Of course she also wanted to see the players who could sell photos and lessons. At what level. People are curious about things they don’t understand well.
Of course this was arranged by the living father. After all, how could a person who has traveled all over the country not have some photos? They were all arranged according to tourists and based on his skills. The living father is always so caring, and he can always trust the living father.
The shoreline of Erhai Lake is 117 kilometers. The reality of Yunmiao Village does not exist. The only village that exists in this world is not very far from the ancient city. The distance to there is about 90 kilometers.
Wang Yan drove at a steady speed of 60, laughing and chatting with Xu Hongdou, looking at the scenery leisurely, and arrived at Yunmiao Village in less than two hours. The car was parked near the village committee at the head of the village, where the terrain was flat and open.
Not to mention the already spacious Raptor he drove, even an ordinary small car couldn't drive any further. They are all small alleys and cannot be accessed by cars.
After getting out of the car, Xu Hongdou looked at the surrounding environment and nodded seriously: "This place is not bad. It's not in vain that I have worked hard to read the travel posters for so long. It's just that it's a little out of the way, so there are so few people here. Come on, big time Photographer, take a picture of the model? I'll send it to the family group for them to see."
The two hours together were obviously not in vain, and now they are considered friends who can talk to each other.
Wang Yan took the Huawei phone from her with a smile, turned on the camera, switched it to professional mode, and directed her to pose, clicking and taking pictures.
His photography skills are very good. After all, he trained in the previous world. He learned it to entertain Wei Lan and take videos of cats and dogs. He is at the level of LV4. His mental breakthrough and the regression caused by not using skills for a long time have basically solved this problem, so his skills and experience are still retained. He is at the upper level of LV4 and can surpass the master with all his strength.
While one was posing happily and smiling for photos, a woman wearing a denim suit with white half-sleeves and short hair tied into a ponytail ran over from a distance.
From a distance, she smiled: "Are they Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou? How about it? The scenery here is pretty good?"
