"There was no 'France' on the earth, and there was no 'French' more than 2,000 years ago, when everyone calls it today, there was ancient Paris. At that time, however, Paris was still a small fishing village on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine. ”

Sammy, the taxi driver who sat in the front seat, was not only gifted in language, but also knew the history of the city of Paris inside out. He chattered the history of Paris to the young brunette boy in the back seat in fluent English, and he didn't notice whether the boy was listening to what he was saying or writing because he had to juggle driving.

"In 508 A.D., the capital of the Frankish kingdom was Paris...... just as Sammy was talking about the best part, the boy sitting in the back row suddenly reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Sir?"

"What's wrong?" The enthusiastic Sammy only then realized that the boy had a headset in his ears all the time, but the boy kept having a very polite smile on his face, so that Sammy didn't know how to complain for a while.

"I think you must have studied the history of Paris very professionally?" The boy didn't take off the headset, but asked softly.

"You see that?" Sammy's voice was a little surprising that could not be concealed, "I studied history at university, and I was involved in a research project on the history of Paris. ”

"That's not what I said!" Seeing that Sammy was about to give a long speech on his historical research topic, the boy quickly interrupted, and he pointed to his headset: "It's my girlfriend who said it, and she has been listening to your wonderful story just now!" ”

"I'm sorry!" Sammy smiled awkwardly, then wisely chose to shut up. He swore to God in his heart that he really didn't know the boy was on the phone just now.

The black-haired boy with a bright smile in the back seat of the taxi was Lin Mingyang, who had just arrived in Paris. This time he came to Europe not for tourism, but with the publicity team of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean". The filming effect of the film made Disney's senior management very satisfied, and the publicity of the film increased. As one of the leading actors of the film, since the end of the filming, he has been following the crew to participate in various promotional activities in various places.

This is also the most tormenting period for Lin Mingyang, he found that smiling all the time in front of the flash of the media takes more energy than filming. He complained to director Vibinski for this, and finally got a rare sabbatical in Paris, the last stop of this European promotion.

Last night's TV interview lasted until late at night, when the rest of the crew was still asleep. Lin Mingyang asked the waiter in the hotel lobby to find a taxi for himself, and the driver should preferably speak English.

It is not difficult to find someone who can speak English in France, in fact, France has no way to be inextricably linked to England across the sea, most people in this country can understand some English, and the waiter found a suitable candidate for him not long after he went out.

Lin Mingyang didn't get up so early to see the beauty of Paris, because he was in a hurry, he didn't pay attention to the strange expression on the waiter's face, but from the moment he got on the road, the "cute" taxi driver began to tell endless stories about Paris. Lin Mingyang finally knew why the waiter had such an expression on his face, it turned out that he had long known that this guy was a master who didn't know how to stop when he said it.

"Felix, you should be honest with that foolish driver, he should have chosen to keep his beak shut when someone else called!" Meghan on the other end of the phone still complained angrily.

"Aren't they all the same?" Lin Mingyang didn't think it would be a wise choice to relay Meghan's exact words, unless he wanted to change to a new taxi.

"Okay, mom is urging me downstairs, I have to go to training, or I'm going to be late. Don't forget to call me at night! Meghan said reluctantly on the other end of the phone, the two can not care about the high cost of transatlantic calls, but after all, they are separated by more than half the world, and it is impossible for the two to talk endlessly.

"That damn driver!" Before hanging up the phone, Megan didn't forget to "greet" the guy who disturbed her and her boyfriend's phone porridge.

"At least he gave you a lot of information about the history of Paris!" Lin Mingyang tried to comfort him.

"To hell with that goddamn history!" Megan hung up the phone angrily, and Lin Mingyang remembered that what Meghan hated most in school was history, because the teacher failed her every exam.

After a busy tone came from the other end of the phone, Lin Mingyang glanced at his mouth with some pity, and then took off the headset. During this time, because he was busy filming, he and Meghan basically didn't see each other much. Thinking of the passion in the hotel room, the latent desire in Lin Mingyang's heart was a little uneasy. Finally, Meghan called at this time, and was mixed up by Sammy. Even if Lin Mingyang has a good temper, it is inevitable that he will have a grudge against Sami at this time.

"Girlfriend angry?" Catching a glimpse of Lin Mingyang's expression in the rearview mirror, Sammy asked cautiously.

"There are a lot of trees in Paris!" Lin Mingyang replied incorrectly, but unfortunately this topic happened to scratch the driver's itch.

"Paris was the first city in the history of Europe to effectively protect trees, and every tree we have here has an archive and identification card." Sammy proudly introduced the Paris Tree Conservation Plan to Lin Mingyang, not caring whether the other party was interested in what he said.

"Have you heard of David Bell?" Lin Mingyang, who was a little impatient, finally interrupted Sammy's narration very unceremoniously, and he really regretted that he didn't relay Meghan's original words on the phone to such a chattering driver, at least that would make him close that damn "beak".

"You're talking about the guy who spends his days jumping between broken houses?" Sammy shook his head with some disdain, it was rare for him to have a topic about Paris that made him so "uncold", but it was not a coincidence, this is what Lin Mingyang is most concerned about now.

"Weird guys?" Lin Mingyang asked with some doubts, if his memory was not wrong, that guy named David Bell should be famous by now, at least in Paris, so he added: "Do all Parisians think of him like you?" ”

Sammy finally had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Not exactly, in fact, many young people in Paris are fascinated by that guy now." But you know young people nowadays are always interested in things that are adventurous and have exciting surnames, and it just so happens that guy is very good at this, so a lot of people are imitating him now. He had long ago set up a training camp called Yamakasi on the outskirts of Paris, and he claimed to be the founder of the Parkour movement, which sounded hilarious! ”

As if to find a point to support his claim, Sammy reluctantly laughed twice, and then realized that his joke was not funny when he noticed that the boy in the back seat was frowning.

"I guess the ridiculous fools you're referring to include me!" Lin Mingyang finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he was finally sure that Sammy was a guy who didn't know anything about Parkour, and he didn't even notice that the note that Lin Mingyang handed him with a purpose written on it was written with the words Yamakasi training camp on the outskirts of Paris.

Sammy also suddenly thought of the address on the note after Lin Mingyang's seemingly self-mocking words, and with an embarrassed face, he was about to explain that he didn't mean to target it, but Lin Mingyang had put the headset back on, and there was really a lack of common language between the two.

After about half an hour's drive, the taxi finally pulled into a run-down suburb. The houses here are old and the layout is messy, and if he hadn't experienced it himself, Lin Mingyang couldn't believe that this was actually Paris.

Lin Mingyang knows Paris everywhere, with museums, theaters, gardens, fountains and sculptures, such a city can be called a work of art, but this dilapidated and narrow neighborhood in front of him is so real. In Lin's view, it's more like a slum in one of the big cities in the United States. When it comes to slums, people tend to associate chaos and crime with their surnames.

"Is this District 13?" Before getting out of the car, Lin Mingyang asked casually.

"How is that possible? District 13 is an area where Chinese people gather, and it has developed rapidly in recent years, with high-rise buildings, wide streets, and prosperous commerce. Sammy shook his head, and finally gave Lin Mingyang a piece of advice: "This is Area 17, Arab and African immigrants like to live here, the security has always been not very good, you have to be careful by yourself!" ”

"Sure enough, it's not!" Lin Mingyang sighed softly, the plot in the movie in his memory was really made up, and the use of "13" was probably because of the taboo of this number in Europe. However, the 17th area in front of you is indeed very similar to the scene in the plot of the movie, and the film is probably filmed here.

Because he was more confident about his skills, Lin Mingyang walked in this urban area with bad security in Sammy's mouth, and he didn't feel too much real danger. Although this is a black and Arab area, the residents are quite friendly to Lin Mingyang, especially when they hear that he is going to the Yamakasi training camp, many people enthusiastically guide him.

"You're Felix Lin, I've seen that you played "Youth Musical", and I love the song you sang with that girl at the New Year's Ball!" In a mixture of French and other languages, Lin Mingyang finally met a black boy who could use English fluently. To his surprise, this black boy named Jem was still his fan.

Lin Mingyang watched the other party excitedly run into a store to buy a signature pen, and then pulled his hip-hop style fat T-shirt for him to sign on it. "Actually, I prefer to partner with that girl, I have posters of her all over my bedroom, and I can't help myself with her little wildcat-like last name. I think I'm in love with her, do you have her contact information? ”

Jem's enthusiasm for Megan made Lin Mingyang feel helpless, he could have all of Megan, but he couldn't stop others from hanging pictures of his girlfriend in the bedroom. Of course, he wouldn't tell Jem about his relationship with Meghan, so he had to smile wryly, "In fact, what makes people unable to extricate themselves is not only love, but also teeth!" ”

"You're so humorous!" Jem whistled loudly excitedly, and then remembered Lin Mingyang's question before. "You're going to Yamakasi training camp, so you know Parkour?"

"Mr. Luc Besson seems to have made a movie called Yamakasi not long ago, and that's where I learned about the sport, and I think Yamakasi's seven-person group is really cool, it's a real extreme sport!" Although it was not Yamakasi's movie of the same name that introduced Lin Mingyang to parkour, the movie he was familiar with had not yet been filmed at this time. Even parkour is just beginning to become popular in the UK, let alone across the ocean.

"I knew about the movie, and in fact I also played a small role in it!" Jem straightened his back proudly and pointed at himself with both hands, "Because I'm a master of parkour!" ”

"So you know David Bell?" Lin Mingyang asked in surprise.

"Of course he knows David Bell, and in fact there is no one who lives in this neighborhood who doesn't know that guy!" The grocery store owner, who had been leaning on the shelf, suddenly came up with a sentence at this time: "It's a pity that David Bell doesn't know him!" ”

"Matthews, you're eavesdropping on the conversation between us, you despicable villain!" The lie was exposed in public, and the angry Jem rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bulging muscles and exaggerated tattoos on his arms, made a powerful fist clenching pose, and gestured to the grocery store owner in a demonstrative manner: "Wait, I will definitely convince David Bell to let me join Yamakasi, and then I will tear your mouth apart!" ”

"Waiting for you at any time!" The grocery store owner grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow fangs tattered with smoke, a threat he had long been accustomed to.

"Let's go!" Jem had long expected such a reaction from the other party, and he pulled Lin Mingyang and prepared to leave.

"You don't know David Bell, and you've been lying all the time?" Lin Mingyang looked a little hesitant, he was not sure at all that what came out of Jem's mouth was the truth.

"Well, I'm sorry, I just told a little lie, but I didn't mean to. David Bell is my idol and I've always wanted to join Yamakasi, in fact their head has promised to consider accepting me as a member! Jem said apologetically.

"Can you show me then?" Lin Mingyang found a very simple way to verify.

Jem pointed to a wall about 3 meters high in front of him, then took a few steps back, and after a light run, when he was about to get close to the target, he slammed one foot against the wall, and his right hand grabbed the wall as easily and quickly as an ape. Almost at the same time, his other one called Push the Wall, put the first foot on the wall, and with a little more help from both hands, the whole person disappeared behind the wall. The whole process took less than 1 minute, but Lin Mingyang was dumbfounded.
