Chapter 111: The Green Lake

At noon on October 24, Li Xiaohu, Lin Yue, eldest brother Li Xiaoshan and Hu Feifei boarded the plane to Kunming together. Hu Feifei is Li Xiaoshan's female companion. The two played couples in "Nightclub", so Li Xiaoshan invited Hu Feifei to walk the red carpet together.

The designated guest hotel for this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is Kunming Cuihu Hotel. When Li Xiaohu and others arrived at the hotel, they saw that it was still early, so they made an appointment to go out for a walk.

Kunming is a famous spring city. It is like spring all year round, with pleasant climate and good scenery. And behind the hotel is Cuihu Park. I heard that in autumn and winter every year, thousands of red-billed gulls will migrate here to spend the winter. There is nothing to do with the left and right, so the four of them naturally have to go and see the fun.

There are many big names in Cuihu Hotel, but no one will wander around Cuihu Park. Just think about it, there will definitely be many movie fans or reporters here, and they are close to the water tower. When Li Xiaohu and the other four ran to the park gate with great enthusiasm, they discovered this problem. In order to avoid trouble, they had to walk around the outside of the park.

"Look, look, isn't the red-billed gull flying over there?" Lin Yue suddenly pointed to the horizon in the distance and shouted.

Not only Li Xiaohu and others, passers-by near the park heard Lin Yue's voice and quickly turned around and saw that a group of black dots were approaching in the horizon.

"Ah, the Red-billed Owl came so early this year?" A passerby muttered in Kunming dialect.

The black dots were close to each other, and Li Xiaohu could see clearly that they were indeed red-billed gulls, but they were not many, just about thirty or forty.

The red-billed gull is commonly known as the "water dove", and its size is similar to that of the dove. The color of the eye circles is red, and the mouth and feet are red. This is also the reason why the red-billed gull is named. Most of the body is white. When it spreads its wings and flies high, it is like a fairy in white.

Since the mid-1980s, from November to March of the following year, thousands of red-billed gulls gathered in Kunming. They are comfortable on the waters of Cuihu Lake and are not afraid of the crowds and boats. Tourists also like to buy some bread for them to eat. A harmonious relationship has been established between people and birds. Red-billed gulls have become the pride of the people of Kunming and are a characteristic scenery of Kunming. If you come to Kunming for travel, it would be a pity if you can't see the red-billed gulls.

"These red-billed gulls are definitely hungry when they traveled here for a long distance. Let's buy some bread and feed them..." Lin Yue suggested.

Li Xiaohu looked at Lin Yue with a funny look, but she didn't expect that she had such childlike fun. The red-billed gulls did travel a long distance, but they flew over all the way and didn't stop foraging. Lin Yue's worries were really childish.

Outside Cuihu Park is not a high wall, but a row of waist-length white railings, standing against the water, where the red-billed gull lands, happens to be close to Li Xiaohu and others.

There were many vendors selling bread and bird food nearby. Everyone quickly bought a few pieces of bread, tore it and sprinkled it into the air, causing the red-billed gull to flap its wings and fly up, chasing and pecking in the air.

These red-billed gulls are very brave and are not afraid of being angry at all. Sometimes they even fly in front of them and peck at people's hands. However, I don't know if the red-billed gulls know how to appreciate the beauty, or the two brothers Li Xiaohu are too tough, and they are also spreading bread, flying around the two girls Lin Yue and Hu Feifei, but there are obviously much more red-billed gulls.

"These red-billed gulls are so brave. How can they know that humans won't hurt them?" Hu Feifei spread all the bread crumbs in her hands and clapped her hands and smiled.

"The beauty is a traveler from another place? The red-billed oaster is a friend of Kunming people. No one will hurt them. This is the trust we have cultivated in more than ten years."

The answer was not Li Xiaohu and others, but a very handsome young man on the side of the road. The man was holding a bunch of painting tools in his hand. It turned out that he was a painter who was studying for the field, but his Mandarin had a heavy Kunming dialect accent, which sounded a bit obscure and difficult to understand.

"Well, yes," Hu Feifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "I heard that the red-billed gulls in Cuihu are a characteristic scenery of Kunming, so come and take a look..."

"Beauty, you are also a beautiful scenery in Cuihu now. Do you mind being my model?" The young man put up the painting clip, looked at Hu Feifei with a smile, and said, "I will introduce myself. My name is Hu Junyi, a student from Yunda Art Academy..."

Yunnan University is right next to Cuihu Lake, and students from the School of Art often come to Cuihu Lake to collect folk songs. In fact, everyone has long had some speculations about the identity of this young man.

Hu Feifei smiled and said, "I don't mind, but I came with my friend and I may leave later. I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements."

"It's okay, I'll sketch it very quickly, and it can be done in at most twenty minutes. Uh, can I take off my sunglasses and hat for a while?"

"Sorry, my eyes are afraid of light, so my sunglasses cannot be taken off," Hu Feifei shrugged and made an innocent expression, but the large sunglasses that covered only half of the face and the long brim of the sun hat blocked it, making it difficult to see her pretty face. Before coming out, in order to avoid trouble, everyone had made some simple disguise.

"Oh, sorry, I was abrupt," Hu Junyi shook his head regretfully, without revealing the excuse that Hu Feifei was not very clever. He spread out the white drawing paper and focused his mind to outline it.

Although there was still a sensation before evening, the sunlight had no lethality. Hu Feifei made up the reason that she could not even deceive herself. Hu Junyi was not stupid, so he could naturally hear the perfunctory.

"This kid seems to want to grab the eldest sister's head," Li Xiaohu stretched out his elbow and poked the eldest brother in a low voice, "Brother, should you make some statement at this time?"

Li Xiaoshan shook his head and smiled. He neither stepped forward to jealous nor made a statement of excuse. Li Xiaohu really couldn't understand, and he didn't understand what the relationship between the elder brother and the elder sister Hu Feifei had.

Everyone was about to leave after they had finished sprinkling the bread crumbs in their hands, but since someone was going to draw a portrait of Hu Feifei, they would not be busy leaving.

"I am really a top student at Yunda Art Academy. My paintings are very good," Lin Yue stood behind Hu Junyi and watched for a while, and said to Li Xiaohu in a low voice.

"Well," Li Xiaohu nodded casually and said, "I'll draw a sketch for you later as a souvenir? Today, there are beautiful Cuihu and Red-billed Gulls as backgrounds, and you, the great beauty, the drawing must be very beautiful."

"Haha, okay, I'm looking forward to it," Lin Yue happily accepted Li Xiaohu's compliment and attentiveness.

She had seen Li Xiaohu's super fast writing skills. In comparison, the level of this top student in Yunda Art Academy in front of her was far from enough in front of Li Xiaohu, so she could understand Li Xiaohu's disapproval at this time.

Passers-by nearby are commonplace for street portraits and sketches, but no one comes to watch. Occasionally, tourists pass by, and their attention is also focused on the red-billed gull who arrived half a month in advance.

"Okay, the task is done, by the way, what's your name for beauty?" Nearly twenty minutes later, Hu Junyi completed the painting. He first wrote the signature on the side, and then wrote the word "Givea". It seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and he asked Hu Feifei's name inadvertently.

"This kid seems to be a veteran," Li Xiaohu said in his heart. He has no experience in picking up girls, but he still has the ability to identify perverts. Hu Junyi is not a professional actor, so all the little abacus is written on his face. How can he escape the eyes of Li Xiaohu, a new director?
