In comparison, their team looks really relaxed.

Because the other teams were exhausted and hadn't accomplished much, they ate very little, and everyone looked very haggard.

"Mr. Xie, I wonder if we could join you this afternoon?"

At this moment, a group of people walked over and spoke to Xie Sichen.

Compared to Chen Hua, a newcomer, they simply smiled. In their view, the reason they were able to achieve such good results was because there was a movie star here. The movie star was already considered a senior, and it was worth learning from him to achieve such success.

A man and a woman walked over. Shen Hua didn't recognize them, and Xie Sichen recognized them even less.

He merely glanced at them indifferently and then said, "You see, I'm not the one seeking your advice. I only completed what I was supposed to complete; the excess was not what I did."

Hearing him say that, the two men looked at Shen Hua in surprise, and only then did they seem to truly focus their attention on her. However, Shen Hua didn't need it.

Saying they wanted to learn from him was just a way to ride on the coattails of the movie star's popularity; they didn't actually want to learn any life skills.

The actor's words were a veiled rejection, and he couldn't come up with any other reason, so he simply chatted with Shinhwa for a few minutes before leaving.

Chen Hua: ...

She only said one thing: the task of catching the little bugs was relatively simple, anyone could catch them. Then these people politely replied a few words and left. That was too perfunctory.

Shen Hua looked at Xie Sichen with some confusion, and then saw the look in his eyes. However, Xie Sichen quickly looked away, but Shen Hua was not mistaken; he must have been smiling just now.

So what used to be open and honest laughter has now been replaced by secret laughter.

People usually have a tiff, but they'll be fine in a while. I don't know what happened to Xie Sichen, and what he's been doing for so long. He looks at her like she's a complete stranger.

If it weren't for the beautiful gifts he gave her and his delicious cooking, how could she have tolerated him to this extent? If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have even given him a second glance.

At this moment, Shen Hua noticed that someone had seen them. She turned her head and saw the two people who had been with them in front of the tombstone that day.

They didn't cause any trouble, so she pretended not to see it.

Everyone is just meeting here for a short while. The afternoon's task doesn't involve drawing cards; instead, you can choose to help the villagers in exchange for food.

Compared to snatching food from the villagers, it's more practical to go up the mountain to catch wild game. However, this is a live broadcast, and perhaps the production team wanted to broadcast this process; once they've been paid, they have to do the job.

So Shen Hua and Xie Sichen decided to go to the village. This was a good idea, to find out about Wu Xiaotao's uncle's situation. Perhaps the place they went to was related to how poor their village was.

When I went up the mountain before, I didn't find the source of the jade. I only heard about the jade in Peach Blossom Village from others, and they didn't say exactly where it was.

So, to find it, she still has to go through the village chief; this trip is essential, unless she wants to go up the mountain at night to search.

So it's more convenient to talk to the village chief.

At this point, the village chief and the villagers were no longer at home, but had gone to work in the fields. They could only ask where the village chief's land was, and then rush over, with the camera following them the whole time.

Because the Lunar New Year is approaching, there isn't much farm work to be done in the fields. Everyone is struggling to get enough to eat, so they want to do as much work as possible so they can harvest a little more.

It's winter, and we could use melted snow to irrigate the land, but there's no snow and no water here, and the land is extremely dry.

It doesn't look like a drought, but the land gives the impression of being very short of water.

The peach trees on the mountain were in full bloom, the soil under the trees was very moist, the peach blossoms were blooming vigorously, and the trees were very tall. Compared with other places, it was simply a two-way contrast.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe you if someone else tells you.

Blocking nutrients was Shen Hua's first thought.

Could it be that the trees here have also become spirits? But as she walked along, she didn't sense any demonic aura, which was quite puzzling.

Soon, they arrived at the village chief's house. Fortunately, they were on the right track, and the village chief and his family were carrying water to irrigate the fields.

Upon seeing them approaching, the village chief greeted them with a smile.

"Young men, are you planning to help me? But the only help you can offer right now is to fetch water. Even I find it difficult to do such heavy work, let alone you two," the village chief said with a bitter expression.

Before Shen Hua and the others could speak, he had already said everything by himself.

"Village chief, we can actually do the work of carrying water, but we'll have to trouble you."

The village chief looked at them, a little worried that their thin arms and legs might be able to carry water, but seeing that they had already said so, he couldn't very well refuse.

So he said, "That's fine. You can help me fetch water, and we'll share some with you. But you know our conditions here aren't good, so please don't complain about how meager it is."

The two of them carried water with the village chief. Chen Hua asked, seemingly casually, "Village chief, I heard that your village plans to open a tourist attraction. Is that true?"

"It's true. We just wanted to set up a car service so that the villagers could have a better life. We couldn't make ends meet."

"This place is quite beautiful. If it were developed into a tourist attraction, it would be very popular. But with so many peach trees here, you could make a lot of money just from selling peaches every year. How come you're living like this..."

She didn't say what she was going to say, but the village chief knew what she meant.

When the peach tree was mentioned, the village chief glanced at it a few times before looking away and saying, "We eat a lot of peaches, but these peaches belong to someone, not our village. The owner of the peaches uses the peaches to nourish the land. Every year after the peaches ripen, they fall onto the land to nourish the soil under the tree. This is a fact that we can all see. You've seen it too. In fact, the soil under the tree is much better than the soil we walk on. The vegetation grows very well without watering."

That was indeed true, but this was the first time he had ever heard of land being nourished by peaches.

“You’re not kidding, are you? The peach trees grow in your village, which is why your village is called Peach Blossom Village. How could these peach trees not be from your village?”

Shen Hua asked this question deliberately, while observing the village chief's expression.
