The sea breeze is leisurely.
Jiang Zhao looked at the endless beach in front of him, and he had been walking with Xiao Si for a full 20 minutes.
However, there is still no sign of any pier.
The weather in City H was very good, with no clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. Jiang Zhao was not prone to sweating, and gradually felt that the T-shirt on the back seemed to be sticking to his body.
"How long do we have to go?" Another five minutes passed, and he couldn't help asking the people beside him.
Xiao Si also calmly said: "It should be soon, right?"
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He looked at Xiao Siye in disbelief: "Don't tell me, you don't know?"
Xiao Si also looked at him with a calm expression: "It's my first time here too."
Jiang Zhao was speechless.
He suddenly discovered that it was the first time for Xiao Si to come here just like him, but he seemed to acquiesce that Xiao Si must know where to go, so he followed Xiao Si for more than ten minutes without worry.
When he reacted, he felt that the sense of trust in his heart that was nothing but brains was simply absurd.
"Arrived."
Xiao Si also stopped suddenly, pointing at a distance not far away.
Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and looked up, only to see the shadowy ships finally appeared on the beach not far away, and there were quite a few of them.
They were going in the right direction.
So maybe this kind of trust is not completely unreasonable.
Jiang Zhao said "Oh" and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Jiang Zhao has been to the beach many times before, whether it is filming or traveling, but he has never been to the pier by the sea.
The closer he got to the pier, the stronger the fishy smell from the seafood. Jiang Zhao couldn't help frowning at first, but after walking for a while, he got used to it, and became interested again, and began to look around.
The wharf is small, but there are still more than a dozen large and small boats gathered by the sea. Fishermen come and go, sending boxes of sea fish to trucks, picking out unnecessary ones by the way, and many of them come to fish The locals, who carry a bunch of equipment on their shoulders, find a place to sit, and they can stay happily for a day.
There is also a small seafood market at the pier, a row of sheds are set up not far from the beach, and there are all kinds of seafood in plastic basins for seafood. It was the first time for Jiang Zhao to see so many strange-shaped sea creatures, red, green, yellow, and blue. He lacked experience in this field, and could only recognize a few commonly eaten fish and crabs.
Jiang Zhao took a fancy to one of the brightly colored fish, and the proprietress next to it smiled and said, "Young man, don't touch it recklessly. If you get pricked by the thorn on your back, you will have to lie down and go to the hospital."
Jiang Zhao trembled all over, and immediately withdrew his hand that was about to move.
The proprietress glanced at the camera not far away, and asked again: "Young man, I remember you, are you the star who often shoots movies in Quick Shake?"
Most middle-aged and elderly people in the contemporary era understand the entertainment industry through TV or short video platforms like Kuaijiu. Jiang Zhao didn't correct her, and nodded, "Yes, auntie, he and I are both."
As he said that, he grabbed Xiao Siye's arm, and pulled him over to be a shaking star together.
The proprietress immediately smiled: "Then you can sign it for me, okay? I'll give you fish to eat!"
There is no reason not to satisfy such a small request, not to mention that Jiang Zhao is really greedy for fish.
He and Xiao Si also signed for the proprietress, and then they were stuffed with a big bag of seafood by the enthusiastic proprietress. What Jiang Zhao is holding are crabs, and Xiao Si is also a few sea fish that Jiang Zhao can't recognize, but according to the proprietress, they are very delicious.
"What kind of fish is this?" Jiang Zhao asked Xiao Si to lift the bag up, looked at the few dark sea fish inside, and sighed, "It's so ugly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fish in the bag suddenly swung its tail like a dragon, and a large handful of water splashed out from the opening of the plastic bag.
—It was all splashed on Jiang Zhao's face.
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He touched the water on his face, and after a few seconds, he suddenly lowered his head, and said two words very quickly, decisively and without hesitation to the fish in the bag:
"It's ugly."
Immediately after speaking, he raised his head and avoided the bag far away.
Fish: "..." Your uncle.
Xiao Si also suppressed a smile beside him, and took out a pack of tissue paper from his pocket: "Wipe it off."
Jiang Zhao pursed his lips and took out one, rubbing it while feeling depressed, who would have thought that one day he would be stabbed in the back by the ingredients.
He secretly memorized the characteristics of the fish, and he was the first to send it away when the fish was grilled at noon today.
After he finished wiping off the drops of water on his face, the paper in his hand was balled up, he found a trash can and threw it away, and then handed back the handkerchief to Xiao Siye: "Thanks."
Xiao Si also took back the wrap of paper, but he didn't take it back immediately.
He fixedly looked at Jiang Zhao's face, which made Jiang Zhao feel a little terrified for a while, and tried to ask him, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Si didn't speak, but took out another piece of paper, flattened it, folded it into a square shape, and then gently pressed the tissue in his hand on Jiang Zhao's side neck.
"There's still water here."
Xiao Si also explained to him.
The paper towel in his hand was stuck to his fair and slender neck, which happened to be where the carotid artery went down. For a while, it was unclear whether Jiang Zhao's skin was fairer or the paper towel was whiter.
The soft feeling passed over Jiang Zhao's Adam's apple and collarbone, he shrank subconsciously, and his body tensed up a little.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to be able to feel the temperature of Xiao Si's fingertips transmitted from a thin layer of tissue paper.
So his body tensed even more.
Waiting until Xiao Si also took the tissue back, Jiang Zhaocai replied dryly, like a robot just connected to the power supply: "Oh."
A few seconds later, he added another sentence: "Thank you."
Xiao Si also bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Student is so polite today, it makes me a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Zhao came back to his senses immediately, and turned his head deliberately: "Maybe it's because I haven't seen the senior for too long?"
He and Xiao Siye are set up as brothers who seem to be in harmony with each other behind the screen and do not interact with each other. It is true to say so.
"Long time no see?" Xiao Si also thought about these four words.
It was indeed a long time, from getting into the babysitter's car in the early morning, to the time when the plane landed, and then changing into the chartered car of the program group, it took several hours.
Jiang Zhao secretly rolled his eyes at him as he walked forward.
Play it, you plastic actor.
Xiao Si also smiled, and stepped up to follow him: "It's okay, my junior and I will spend several nights together, and we will definitely get to know each other again."
"Student, tell me, don't you?"
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He felt that this person probably liked to talk flirtatiously when he was in front of the camera, so he simply ignored the people around him.
—
Walking out of the market, not far away is the trestle bridge composed of loading and unloading slabs. The fishermen seem to be picking up the fish there, and some people are standing there smoking.
Jiang Zhao was not interested in the trestle bridge, he walked on it for a while before returning to the beach, but he was very interested in those fishing boats. Xiao Si also noticed that he was looking at the boat frequently, so he took the initiative to chat with a nearby fisherman, and came back and told him: "All the boats here can be rented on a daily basis. The tenant himself."
Jiang Zhao's eyes lit up immediately, just like the fisherman on the beach—this desire to go hunting is probably engraved in the DNA of most human beings.
If you go down in a net, can you catch garbage or treasure
Really very exciting.
But he was still shooting, not playing, so Jiang Zhao nodded, pretending not to be interested, and said, "I see, should we go back?"
Xiao Si also looked at his reserved look, and said with a slight smile, "Well, let's go back."
When they walked back to the residence, the others had not returned. Xiao Si also brought the seafood into the kitchen, and the tables in the restaurant were already filled with barbecues prepared by the staff, most of which were fresh seafood.
Jiang Zhao was hungry when he stepped into the door, and now he was dizzy looking at the food on the table.
But he was already sitting in the living room very calmly, with an unmoved look, picked up the small whiteboard on the table and began to draw the map of the pier.
It’s just that Meimei is at the side, so his attention can’t help being distracted. The map written on the whiteboard is crooked, and the difference from the real dock map is as far as 10,000 Xiaos.
He was pursing his lips and drooling at the whiteboard marker, and Xiao Si also walked over from the restaurant and saw his movements: "Are you already drawing?"
His voice was a bit vague, Jiang Zhao raised his head and found that Xiao Si was also chewing something: "What are you eating?"
Xiao Si also said very calmly and shamelessly: "I just took a string of fish tofu."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Jiang Zhao: "You steal it?"
Xiao Si also said frankly: "How can the variety artist's business be called stealing? This is a reasonable use of the resources provided by the program group."
"So you are eating openly?"
"That's right."
Jiang Zhao was speechless for a moment, then stood up: "You are really shameless."
Xiao Si also understood his movements, but he deliberately asked: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Zhao put down the whiteboard in his hand and walked towards the restaurant: "I'm going to check the quality of the barbecue at noon today."
Then he ate a bunch of small sausages.
When the three of Jiang Han came back, they saw Jiang Yingdi and Xiao Yingdi sitting on the sofa in a serious manner.
"Senior," He Jinuo exclaimed, "You guys came back so soon! It smells so good, have you been waiting for us to eat?"
Jiang Zhao: "Yes."
Xiao Si also smiled: "Yes, of course the barbecue is delicious only after everyone eats it together."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Nonsense, this man just ate another string of bacon when he was picking up the sausage, and made a serious statement saying that the most delicious thing in the world is to eat it alone without telling others.
As for why Jiang Zhao couldn't hold back—of course it was because he had a more shameless bottom, and if he went to steal food again, it would look like he was being spoiled by Xiao Si, instead of taking the initiative to steal food.
Very righteous words.
The sumptuous seafood barbecue made the guests who were tired from traveling and traveling happily have a full meal. After the meal, everyone cleaned up the tabletop after eating barbecue, and went back to the living room to pick up the whiteboards and began to draw the map they saw today.
Jiang Zhao had already drawn half of the map before the meal. At this time, he confidently picked up the map he had drawn more than an hour ago, and then fell silent for a moment.
This is what it is all about.
At that time, he was probably fainted from hunger, so he could draw this bunch of ghostly symbols that he couldn't understand.
Jiang Zhao pursed his lips, erased all the things on the picture, and then seriously started to draw again.
Ten minutes later, the five of them basically finished drawing, and they showed the whiteboard together.
But a few seconds later, everyone looked at Jiang Zhao in unison.
Jiang Han froze for a moment: "Brother Jiang..."
Even with her many years of experience as a host, she couldn't think of words for a while, so she could only say something implicitly: "It's really imaginative."
Jiang Zhao looked down at his own map with some doubts: "Isn't it very clear?"
He Qinuo couldn't help but moved closer to look at Jiang Zhao's painting.
"Brother Jiang," he tentatively pointed to an unidentifiable mass on the screen, "Is this seaweed?"
Jiang Zhao: "This is the proprietress who brought us fish." The head of instant noodles was hot.
He Qino choked for a moment, and quickly pointed to another thing: "Then, is this a box for selling fish?"
Jiang Zhao: "This is the truck."
He Qinuo: "..."
The child looked like he was about to cry, so Jiang Zhao had no choice but to pat him on the back: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I failed in art since I was a child."
His map was useless, so he had to turn his head to look at Xiao Siye: "You..."
Before the words fell, he straightened his eyes.
On Xiao Siye's whiteboard, a complete map of the pier was fully displayed. The lines were neat and clean, and the details were clear and clear. Even where there was a fork in the road and where the flow of people was relatively large, they were all clearly marked. .
Jiang Zhao: "Are you hanging up?"
Xiao Si also smiled: "I'm not a talented person, but I've got full marks in art since I was a child."
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He suspected that this person did it on purpose.
But Xiao Si had indeed solved the big problem of the wharf map. Jiang Zhao suddenly realized that he seemed to have no effort at all.
He lowered his eyes casually, a little frustrated.
It's really not his forte.
He lowered his head and wiped off his ugly map after drawing it for a long time, then put the whiteboard and pens on the table.
Xiao Si also has such a high degree of completion of the map, so there is no need to confirm and improve it. Jiang Han and the three over there immediately began to chatter about the correctness and mistakes of their respective maps, intending to summarize a more complete small map. Fishing village map.
Jiang Zhao was distracted while listening to their discussion, but he didn't notice that the whiteboard he put on the table was quietly taken away.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhao was touched on the elbow.
He turned his head to look, but saw Xiao Si also smiled slightly, turned the small whiteboard in his arms around, and showed Jiang Zhao the picture he had just drawn.
On the whiteboard, the manga boy is lazily sitting on the sofa, his beautiful eyes are looking in another direction, his elbows rest on his knees and his chin is propped up, as if he is listening carefully, and there is a little curly hair on the tip of his hair .
Xiao Siye's painting skills are really good. When drawing this kind of comic characters, the brushstrokes are very skilled.
Jiang Zhao reacted for two seconds, until he saw the logo on the clothes, and realized that Xiao Si also drew him.
He was momentarily at a loss.
The painting is pretty good, of course, there are also reasons why he is handsome... No, that's not the point. But if he guessed correctly, the purpose of Xiao Si's drawing this painting was to... comfort him
Just because He Jino didn't recognize his painting, he did have a moment of gloomy mood, but it only dissipated in a short moment.
Did Xiao Si also notice it
His mind was a little confused, but he still looked calm on the surface, and took the painting over: "Well, it's a pretty painting."
The painting immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Han and the others, and the three began to exclaim, Wang Zuosi still wanted to take the painting over to have a look.
But Jiang Zhao just held it for them to watch for a while, without any intention of handing the whiteboard to others.
Xiao Si also smiled deeper.
—
After sorting out all the maps, Director Du walked into the living room.
"Now start to distribute the mission." Director Du smiled, holding two mission cards in his hand.
Jiang Zhao is basically familiar with the process, and the next step is to let them randomly group into groups to do tasks, but for some reason, this time there is one less task than the first day of the previous period.
"There are two missions this time, one is to go to the pier and the small fishing village," Director Du put the mission card on the table, "Now, you need to exchange maps."
"The team that went to the small fishing village in the morning took the map of the pier and went to the pier to complete the mission, and vice versa, those who went to the pier took the map of the small fishing village. Now, you can open your mission cards."
Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment—doesn't that mean that the grouping was completed when they split into two groups in the morning
So he still has to do missions with Xiao Si
When he was shocked, Xiao Si also picked up the mission card and turned it over to the side where the mission was written.
The task this time is completely different from the previous ones. It is not necessary to complete a certain activity, but to go to several places and "check in" with different people.
Only when all the punch cards on the task card are completed can the task be considered complete.
Look at the check-in location written on it, the water tank in the second alley to the east of the small fishing village, the tourist tribe in the north of the small fishing village...
Everyone finally knew why the director asked them to draw the map, just to use it at this moment.
He Qinuo couldn't help but said, "It's a bit like an online game."
Upgrading in the online game requires doing a lot of tasks to gain experience, sending a letter to the blacksmith in the east for a while, and sending a message to the Huansha girl in the west for a while.
But the tasks in the online game are all assigned in order, but there is no fixed order for their check-in, so they can only study the fastest path by themselves.
The director fanned the flames from the side: "The group that finishes first will get a special reward tonight. Hurry up, everyone, come on—"
Once it was about victory or defeat, Jiang Zhao's competitive spirit was ignited immediately, and he looked at Xiao Siye with burning eyes: "Where do we start?"
Xiao Si also looked at the map of the small fishing village summarized by the three of Jiang Han, and said, "Choose one."
Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the three Jiang Han who were discussing enthusiastically, and lowered his voice: "Should I choose randomly?"
Xiao Si also clearly knew that he had a bad sense of direction, and couldn't tell which way was the fastest.
He was struggling, but saw the man next to him slightly pursed his lips, and said in a low voice:
"No matter where we choose, we can win with the fastest speed."
"Do you believe it or not?"
The amber eyes looked at Jiang Zhao intently, with a serious expression, which brought an inexplicable sense of security and confidence.
And the heart in Jiang Zhao's chest trembled slightly in this magnetic and steady voice.
