Chapter 716: I Don't Want to Be Popular

The case was handled very quickly. The thief confessed without hesitation and confessed to the several mobile phones he stole tonight, which was enough for him to be in prison for half a year. It is worth mentioning that this thief is not a local, but a wanderer from other places.

After all, thieves don't easily stop, they are all habitual thieves, and Wang Yan confirmed that this thief still has some techniques. This kind of wandering player must have had things before. If this thief didn't hold up in the interrogation and confessed to the previous cases, and the amount involved rose again, then basically he would have to run for two or three years.

Cooperating with the police to register, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou walked out of the police station not far from the scene.

Just after coming out, Xu Hongdou let out a long breath: "I'm still a bit dazed until now, everything happened too fast."

Wang Yan shook his head with a laugh: "Why, the thief has to tell you before stealing? You are ready, I am starting to steal..."

Seeing him learning the wretched look of the thief, Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes: "It's just that I didn't react. We were still talking, and you suddenly turned around and threw the thief down, stepped on his feet, and poked him with a bamboo stick. The other tourists reacted quickly, good heavens, they surrounded us in a circle in an instant, picked up their phones and shot. I think of that circle of phones now, and I feel goosebumps all over, it's too scary."

A player who has experienced the media flash in the real world says such words, which is still very contrasting. However, Wang Yan can distinguish and see clearly. Some contrasts don't matter.

But it should be said that there were indeed more people before. Looking around, I couldn't see people's faces at all. They were all mobile phones blocking in front of their faces. The people behind couldn't see the truth, or were holding selfie sticks, or holding their phones high, and the scene was still very large. At that time, the thief silently took off his hat and buckled it on his face, wanting some face...

It was also like this. Being in the center and never having such an experience, Xu Hongdou panicked for a while, and it was not easy to speak. Because she didn't know which sentence of hers would be intercepted and passed to the internet, which would be bad. So she stood silently behind Wang Yan, watching Wang Yan stepping on the thief gracefully, eating skewers in his mouth, responding to the audience around him with a smile, and controlling the scene.

But if you really want to talk about being surrounded and shot, you have to look at the death flash of the little stick, that is the real big scene, and the eyes can be blinded...

"It's just that I haven't experienced it. With this time, you will be calm next time."

"I don't want to have another time." Xu Hongdou sighed, looked at Wang Yan who was adjusting the camera parameters beside her, and asked, "The thief is behind us, how did you notice it? And, your reaction was too fast, you subdued the thief at once, do you know martial arts?"

"Do you know what is most important in walking the rivers and lakes?"

"What?"

"Of course, it is that many skills don't press the body." Wang Yan raised his camera, took a picture of Xu Hongdou's ignorant and seeking-knowledge look, and said while looking at the photo, "I learned some martial arts routines before, and also learned some Sanda, boxing, etc., plus I often exercise, my body is strong, and three or five people can't get close. Practicing martial arts is about observing six directions and listening to all directions, so it is inevitable to be alert. It is also thanks to this hand that I have some confidence, otherwise, I would always suffer losses along the way."

"Oh, so it is. Then when will you let me see it?"

"This is not a big deal, I will give you a paragraph when I go back, just happened to exercise and digest after eating so much today."

"Okay, what should I do next? Should I stroll for a while, or return to Yunmiao Village?"

Wang Yan looked at his watch and said: "Go back, it's almost nine o'clock, go to bed early and get up early, so that you can be healthy and energetic."

"Then go back." Xu Hongdou swung her arms vigorously and moved forward with big strides, "If I walk like this again, I feel that my legs can be walked thin."

"Playing, it is to walk more and see more. You are also here to heal, it is better not to be too idle. Live a fulfilling life every day, after a long time, the things you couldn't give up before, the things you couldn't forget, when you look back, it won't be so sad, but instead gives you the courage and strength to continue facing life."

Xu Hongdou didn't want to talk more on this topic, and walked a few steps first: "Hurry up, I just want to take a comfortable hot bath now, and then lie there and do nothing, just stay."

Wang Yan smiled, didn't say anything more, and wandered around taking pictures in the back...

Driving the brand-new Raptor, playing soft and soothing music, opening the car window, feeling the wind by Erhai Lake at night, he returned to Yunmiao Village all the way.

His car was loaded with a lot of food, as well as beer, drinks, mineral water, etc. He definitely wouldn't leave in the future, so he moved everything back to the Windy Courtyard.

The two took their things to the side room and saw that in the casual living area in the corner of the side room, Ma Qiushan, still in his loose practice suit, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, fiddling with the tea set and drinking tea while rolling the 108-bead Bodhi string. On the other side were Nana with her hair down and Damei, who was wearing a wig and oversized pajamas, each hugging a soft sofa pillow and talking. Ma Qiushan had a smile on his face, acting as their listener; after all, since two young girls were talking, it wasn't appropriate for him to interrupt, so he just listened.

Seeing Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou enter, Ma Qiushan greeted with a smile: "The two are back, are you happy playing today?"

"Not bad." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, his eyes looking at Da Mai who wanted to speak but stopped, "Why don't you code anymore?"

Da Mai giggled and said: "I thought about it carefully today, you are right, so I want to adjust my work and rest. I finished today's task in a daze today, and I will go to sleep in a while, so I will get up early tomorrow morning."

"Very good, keep it up, don't go back after two days. Come, I have quite a lot of food here, take whatever you want to eat, don't be polite."

Putting things away, Wang Yan said, "I'll go tidy up and take a bath, let's chat in a while."

Xu Hongdou nodded, clapped her hands: "Me too, see you in a while. Hmm... share a fun thing with you, go first."

The remaining three looked at each other, Da Mai yawned: "They are indeed very close, you can't tell they only met for two days."

This was all told by Nana to her. They were together, and Nana would chatter and tell her many messy things. Chatting happily with Wang Yan in the morning, after Nana got off work, when they ate dinner together, she only started a head, and Nana told everything she knew about Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou. Rich, photography, walking all over China, etc...

Ma Qiushan had a light of wisdom, as if everything was indifferent. He put down the tea and said: "They are destined people, and they are both alone here. It is reasonable to travel together and take care of each other."

Nana didn't answer, just looked at Da Mai's fatigue, and said: "Da Mai, I feel it's about time, you go to sleep quickly."

"It's okay, I plan to go to sleep at 10:30. To 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will definitely still not sleep enough, but leave a margin to hold on for another day, and it should be completely adjusted the day after tomorrow."

Nana was still a bit distressed, but didn't say anything more. She knew Da Mai had a strong idea.

Ma Qiushan on the side was a bit curious: "Da Mai, is your novel going smoothly?"

Da Mai shook her head without thinking: "Not smooth, not smooth at all."

"I don't understand, but I personally think that closing the door to build a car is not allowed. This thing is about inspiration, right? It's not much different from Teacher Hu's songwriting. You have to communicate more with friends, let various different ideas collide, intertwine, and fuse, so that you have things to write, right? Writing, what is written is life, is penetrating the three views."

"Yes, that's it. Wang Yan also said similar things this morning. He said that I haven't entered society to crawl and fight, and relatively speaking, I lack social experience, so it will be difficult to write. He suggested that I read more books and ponder more."

The three of them chatted, one sentence after another, still quite enthusiastic.

Just at this time, the "beep" sound of the electric scooter locking sounded. Not long after, Hu Youyu, who was carrying a broken wooden guitar and wearing fashionable new clothes, walked in, carrying some food in his hand, just like last night, walking in a swaying manner, his steps were quite proud, and he was humming a song in his mouth.

"Yo, isn't this Da Mai sister, why? Changed your nature? Why do you have time to come out and chat?" Hu Youyu leaned over exaggeratedly, looking like a loafer, and didn't wait for Da Mai to speak, he said to himself, "Let me think, Da Mai sister has been in this Windy Courtyard for almost a month, which time is this that I have seen?"

He gestured with his fingers, chanting the scenes of meeting in the past, "Look, counting today, Da Mai sister, are you afraid of me? Don't worry, I am a gentleman."

Da Mai just looked at Hu Youyu's monologue with big eyes and didn't answer.

Nana maintained her good friend, and said unhappily: "Fart, Da Mai is not convenient for work, and is hiding from you. All day long, it's just full of flowers, but it's still a single dog."

"Hey, I can't find it, it's that I don't want to find it. Just like me, handsome, romantic, singing melodious wanderer, is it so easy to give myself away? Alright, alright, let's not talk about this."

Seeing that Nana and Da Mai's eyes were about to roll to death, Hu Youyu raised the food in his hand and shook it, "I brought you a midnight snack, want to drink a little?"

Ma Qiushan waved his hand: "Didn't I say it, don't eat after noon, why ask more."

"Hehe, what if you want to eat, right? Old Ma, don't think I don't know, you secretly ran out to add a meal in the middle of the night, and said what don't eat after noon."

"Cough cough..." His bottom was exposed, and Ma Qiushan, who broke his high-level image, coughed for a while, staring at Hu Youyu unhappily, "Can't I eat when I'm hungry?"

"Look, you are in a hurry. You talk about health and wellness, cultivating your character all day, but I haven't seen you lose weight in the half year we have known each other. Can eating in the middle of the night be healthy and cultivate character? I don't know about other things, I only know that you eat now, which is healthier than eating in the middle of the night."

"Hahaha..."

Looking at Ma Qiushan's embarrassed look, Nana was laughed at by him, and Da Mai also covered her mouth and giggled. This is a quiet village, not a bustling city, and they are all night owls. How could they not hear the clanging of the big spoon in the middle of the night? So they actually knew it early.

Ma Qiushan used to deceive himself, but now looking at their expressions, how could he not know that they knew it early.

However, his skin was thick, and embarrassment was only for a moment, and he didn't care about so much. He laughed: "Okay, then I will follow the good, give you face, and accompany you to drink a little."

"Then thank you Ma Ye for the face." Hu Youyu laughed.

He knew what kind of person Ma Qiushan was, so he exposed his shortcomings directly to entertain the public. He actually knew very well that others knew it early, and it was good to say it out to be happy, and to eat and play together.

"Nana, Da Mai, Ma Ye has agreed, eat a little? Let's talk and be lively and happy."

"Yes, eat together, I have eaten, what are you thinking about? Anyway, it's Old Hu's treat, don't eat for nothing." Ma Qiushan helped, wanting to pull everyone to the dining table.

Nana and Da Mai looked at each other, stood up together, Nana said: "Then I will relax today, no diet."

Da Mai nodded: "Go to sleep after eating."

"That's right, the people in the courtyard are all together, we have to..." Halfway through, Hu Youyu said "hey," "Where are Wang Yan and Hongdou? Not back yet? Impossible, when I came back on the electric scooter, I saw Wang Yan driving a big Raptor flying past me, how come I am back and they still have no shadow? Tired and in the room? I'll go call..."

Ma Qiushan waved his hand: "No need, they are taking a bath, they will be here in a while."

Hu Youyu nodded: "Okay, then let's eat first. I calculated today is a good day, and specially bought a lot of things. Oh, right, there are Wang Yan's specialties, the taste is not bad, let's eat some too..."

When Wang Yan entered with his computer again, what he saw was the scene of the four of them chatting, laughing, eating, and drinking.

He smiled and put the computer aside, walked over, pulled a chair and sat down: "Yo, what good thing is there today? Those who don't go downstairs go downstairs, and those who don't eat after noon start eating."

"This is to welcome you, the comrades in our Windy Courtyard are finally together, is it not worth drinking two glasses?" Hu Youyu skillfully opened a can of beer and put it in front of Wang Yan, "Come, dry one. I drank with you yesterday, it was so happy."

Wang Yan took a small sip, shook his head: "It won't work today, I ate a lot with Hongdou outside, and my stomach is still bloated now. You eat and drink, don't worry about me, I'll sit here and talk to you, drinking will come another day."

"Oh, right, you said it yesterday, I forgot." Hu Youyu patted his forehead, "Then let's drink less, mainly chatting."

Wang Yan listened to their chat with a smile. Actually, there was no theme. They said everything aimlessly. Novels are hard to write, songs are hard to sing, legs are numb from meditation, work is fulfilling, and the chat is very enthusiastic.

Another twenty minutes passed, and Xu Hongdou, who had finished washing, came over. She naturally couldn't eat or drink, sat beside Da Mai, and joined the lively exchange with a smile.

To celebrate this scene, Wang Yan, a professional photographer, was asked to get his camera down, set it up on a stand, and took a pile of group photos...

Nana said "hey," and said: "Hongdou, didn't you say share a fun thing before, tell me?"

Xu Hongdou nodded, looked at Wang Yan, and told the story of Wang Yan catching the thief with a smile, sighing: "Oh, you don't know, so many people, all holding mobile phones and shooting there, it's especially scary."

Nana is a person who plays on the internet, she nodded knowingly: "That's true, now it's the mobile internet era, self-media is so developed, whenever something happens, people hold their phones and shoot. The anger on the internet is also heavy, whenever something happens, they don't care about the facts at all, just scold."

Ma Qiushan also couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that you would catch a thief after playing for only one day. Okay, Wang Yan, you have two brushes."

"Isn't it that you know martial arts, show us two hands?" Hu Youyu clapped his hands and encouraged.

Xu Hongdou laughed: "Yes, yes, didn't you say you would digest after coming back before. Come, start your performance."

"Okay, then just do two simple ones."

Wang Yan didn't procrastinate. Wearing slippers, he performed a set of Xingyi Quan in an open space inside the door of the side room, front flips, back flips, handstands with both hands, handstands with one hand, and acted as a monkey for a while, harvesting a burst of applause and cheers.

Nana maintained order, not allowing loud noise after eight o'clock, affecting the rest of the neighborhood.

After it became quiet, Da Mai, who was still clapping in a small range, said weakly: "That... it's been more than an hour, so many people are shooting, and then sending it out, it must be on the hot search, right? Even if it can't be national, Dali's hot search must have it, right?"

In an instant, the atmosphere became quiet. Everyone looked at Da Mai, and then everyone tacitly took out their mobile phones, opened the hottest short video platform Douyin, and chose the same city.

Sure enough, the first one was the video at that time, and it was a live recording of ten minutes. From Wang Yan suddenly shooting down the thief, to holding a bamboo stick and pricking the thief, to saying that don't pass it around, until the police arrived, understood the situation, and then left together, it was very detailed.

Obviously, this was someone live streaming behind Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou, and happened to record the whole process of the event.

Nana said: "Wang Yan's words have a level, and they are also very fair. According to the experience I summarized in the past, this video will definitely be popular. Tomorrow the Dali police station will issue a statement, the Tourism Bureau should also forward the announcement, and intercept the paragraph you said, and there will definitely be other official accounts from unknown places coming out to send it around..."

"It's more than that, maybe there will be local media interviews." Hu Youyu sighed, slapped Wang Yan on the shoulder, "Wang Yan, you are going to be popular. Don't forget us Jiangdong fathers and elders when you are developed..."

Wang Yan shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to be popular at all, it's useless."

Ma Qiushan was energetic, and he was anxious for Wang Yan: "How many people want to be popular and are crazy about it? What can't be done to be popular? This is an opportunity, you have to grasp it. Look at you, you can speak well, your life experience is rich, you can take pictures, and you know martial arts, you will definitely be able to develop a group of loyal fans with this opportunity."

"What can you do if you are popular? Bring goods to make money? Have influence? People take pictures with mobile phones wherever you go? Why bother. I don't want to live under the spotlight, let people point and pick bones in the egg, I don't want any influence, and I don't want to bring goods to make money. After all, I am not short of money, living comfortably, no need to find trouble for myself, right?"

Looking at Wang Yan spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders indifferently, for a while, everyone was silent, and it was a bit of a forced act... ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
