每天中午12点到晚上8点，一辆公交车往返于杭州城西紫荆天街和三墩镇之间。单程票价2元，每半小时一班。 车门一开，车厢很快会被塞满。乘客多是二十岁出头的女生，背包上挂着写有"后陡门58号"的蓝色行李牌，或背着透明的"痛包"（粉丝用于展示偶像IP周 边的透明塑料包），里面摆着小卡、吧唧（徽章）。 她们是"十个勤天"的粉丝，自称"禾伙人"。这趟旅程对很多人来说并不轻松：得先乘坐高铁或飞机抵达杭州，换乘地铁到达古墩路地铁站，再挤上这辆大 巴。几小时的狂欢后，又要循着原路，回到江浙沪乃至全国各地的写字楼或大学宿舍里。 这群女生的目的地，是一片普通得不能再普通的郊区农田。官方名称叫"种地星球"，粉丝也喊它"地士尼"。 这是综艺节目《种地吧》录制地点，也是粉丝们的精神耶路撒冷。 人群中偶尔混杂着带孩子或宠物的家庭——有人住在附近，知道这里有风景不错的稻田、有市集，仅此而已。他们并不知道，自己闯入的是一个为粉丝设 计的"精神领地"。他们看不懂痛包，也无法理解为什么有人要在没有人出现的宿舍围墙外蹲点，连续拍上半小时。 但粉丝懂。 今年双11，因一档综艺而出名的10个年轻男生，凑成了一个名为"十个勤天"的组合，他们的周边不仅被粉 ...
