At just six o'clock the next morning, Xu Yan and Su Rou were awakened by voices. They opened the curtains and looked out... they could only see the back garden, which they had to see through Lao Chen's window.

As soon as Xu Yan went over, she found that the two had woken up and were looking outside in amazement. When Xu Yan got closer, she was immediately frightened. All she saw was a huge group of people.

Xu Yan returned to the room and said to Su Rou, who was still down, "There are so many people traveling here today, just like zombies."

Su Rou hadn't reacted yet and could only nod. Xu Yan picked up her phone and found that Zhenzhu had sent her a message. She heard the voice message: "Old Xu, there are so many people traveling here today! Can you help us? Help us interview random passers-by. The equipment has been sent to Aunt Chen."

When Xu Yan heard that there was something to do, she immediately became interested. Interviewing people? They hadn't missed this kind of thing before, so she sent the chat record to the group: "Go or not?"

Li Yiran: Anyway, going out to play is definitely not a possibility, so I might as well help with the interview.

Chen Jiani: Interview? How to interview? What to ask?

Xu Yan: Zhenzhu gave us an outline and we can conduct the interview according to it.

Li Yiran: Where's Su Rou? Why isn't she saying anything?

Xu Yan: She hasn’t turned on the camera yet…

After Su Rou turned on the phone completely, several people went downstairs. Several people came in from downstairs, and all the available seats were occupied. Xu Yan and the other three walked to Aunt Chen and asked, "Aunt Chen, this is..."

When Aunt Chen saw the four of them coming down, she said quickly, "Oh, it must be the effect of the previous promotional video. There are so many people today, from the town, the village, and those corners... too many people. The shops outside are full. Someone asked if they could eat here. Of course we can say yes if there are business. We are serving the dishes now."

When Xu Yan and the others heard this, they discussed quietly, "How about two of us go do the interview, and the other two stay here to help Aunt Chen?"

"Let me do it. I worked in a restaurant during the summer vacation when I was in high school, so I have some experience in this area."

Su Rou said that she used to rely on these to support herself and pay for school fees. Li Yiran also nodded. She did have part-time job experience.

"Then Lao Chen and I will go to interview, and you guys will stay and help?"

"Okay!"

Xu Yan asked Aunt Chen: "Aunt Chen, Zhenzhu said she sent over the interview equipment. Where did you put it?"

"Oh~ You mean the camera and microphone? Here I put them."

After Aunt Chen finished speaking, she hurried to serve tea. After Xu Yan received it, she told Chen Jiani to leave and eat breakfast on the way. The moment she stepped out of the door, Xu Yan heard Aunt Chen say, "Hey, you two are here to help?"

Xu Yan and Chen Jiani held eggs in their left hands and drank soy milk in their right hands. Finally, they found a cool place to sit.

"Oh my god, I'm so tired after just coming out."

Chen Jiani wiped the sweat off her forehead. Originally, Xu Yan thought that it didn't need to be so formal and she could just take some photos with her mobile phone. However, Zhenzhu also sent her a bunch of photography equipment, such as headsets, microphones, cameras, etc. Basically, everything that could be used for the interview was brought to them.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Xu Yan asked, stuffed the meat bun into her mouth, clapped her hands and was about to end her breakfast. Chen Jiani also finished the last sip of soy milk.

"let's go!"

Chen Jiani took the camera and Xu Yan took the microphone and went on a journey to find someone.

There are a lot of people in the village, but there are still some open spaces. Xu Yan and Chen Jiani decided to find those kind comrades who look good at first glance.

Xu Yan successfully interviewed a young lady wearing Hanfu for the first time: "Hello, can I interview you?"

"Who are you? Wait why do you look so familiar to me?"

When the young lady saw Xu Yan, several images suddenly flashed through her mind, but she just couldn't remember her name. Xu Yan smiled and said, "Maybe I have a common face, it's just like this, young lady. You have seen so many people today, so we want to interview you about what you think or what suggestions you have for Nile here. Next, I will ask you a few questions, you can say whatever you want."

The sister in Hanfu nodded, prompting the sister to agree. When Xu Yan started talking, Chen Jiani had already started recording.

"Okay okay."

"Is this your first time in Yun Province with your friends?"

Xu Yan took the microphone forward, and the young lady said, "No, I have been to Yun Province before, but at that time I went to those popular tourist check-in spots. We came here because we saw the promotional video on Douyin."

"So what do you think of the scenery here?"

"To be honest, it's pretty good, but there are too many people today, too many people taking pictures, and it's hard to squeeze in."

The friend next to her nodded in agreement, and Xu Yan also nodded secretly. This influx of people is good for the village, but it is not so friendly to tourists.

The young lady continued, "For example, we just arrived, and originally wanted to try the rice noodle shop at the entrance of the village, but it was too crowded, so now we want to go to other shops to see if there are any vacancies."

When Xu Yan heard this, she quickly said, "Then we'll stop here for the interview. To thank you and your friends for participating, I'll tell you about a store. It's a little hard to find, and there might not be many people there right now."

That’s right, the restaurant recommended by Xu Yan was Aunt Wang’s. Although this restaurant was mentioned in the video, in terms of the route, it would be impossible for people who come here for the first time to find it so quickly.

After seeing the young lady off, the Xu-Chen duo went to different places and interviewed two or three people respectively, including customers eating in a rice noodle shop, some under a banyan tree, and some in a coffee shop. The interviews lasted until the afternoon when the duo finally finished.

When they returned to the hotel, there were not many people on the first floor. Xu Yan lay down to rest. She felt unwell all over, especially her legs, which were almost broken and her shoulders were so sore.

"I suddenly realized that long interviews are not for people to do. I am so exhausted."

"We did too. Aunt Chen saw that there were fewer people around, so she let us come up and rest."

Xu Yan shook her head and turned on the computer: "I'll send the materials to Zhenzhu later. This has to be done by professionals."

Xu Yan found Zhenzhu's chat interface and said, "I'm so tired. I'm done with the interview. I won't help you next time. I'll send you the materials later."

Pearl: "Okay, mainly because there are too many people here today."

Xu Yan: "I understand. The four of us are planning to go to Mount Li tomorrow."

Pearl: "It's nice over there, but there may be more people. But Shanda shouldn't be crowded either."

Xu Yan: "As long as it doesn't rain."

This was Xu Yan's last wish.
