Chapter 114

The live broadcast begins with a dynamic aerial view of Miao Village.

This is the drone arranged by the program team.

In the camera, there are green mountains and green waters, and clouds and mist in the early morning.

A truly magical place.

The wide aerial drone footage is about ten minutes long.

After all the audience and fans had seen the full picture of the Miao Village, the camera switched back.

Eight guests wearing the uniforms distributed by the program team appeared in the camera.

The four groups of guests all wore tops of different colors and black casual pants of the same color.

The color of the group consisting of Zhen Shaoyuan and Siyi is blue.

Cai Jiabao and Chengsheng’s are dark green.

Lin Tianxing and He Jia’s are red.

Gong Chengnan and Fei Li's are pink.

I'm used to seeing Shao Yuan and the others dressed up so carefully, and suddenly I see them dressed so casually and freshly.

Not only does it not lower their appearance, but it also makes people feel brighter.

Especially when I, Shao Yuan and others stood in front of the red brick and tile house.

That would highlight their looks even more.

The most important thing is that people like me, Shao Yuan, are not only good-looking, but also of decent height.

Especially the two people standing in the middle, Zhen Shaoyuan and Si Yi, their height is even more prominent.

Their legs can hardly fit on the entire screen.

The audience and fans in the live broadcast room licked the screen when they saw this scene, but some also found something wrong.

"Didn't they say this episode was about traveling? Why doesn't it look like that?"

"Yeah, that room at the back, isn't that their place?"

"No way! Is the production team that poor? They can't even afford to provide a decent house for the guests? Our Majesty is the big investor in the show!"

"It's fake! How could His Majesty and his family possibly live in such a shabby house? They're probably just posing for a photo and using it as a backdrop."

"The house isn't shabby, but it's certainly not in great shape. Director Guo and Director Liu are not here. Are you planning a rebellion? How dare you do this to our Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, they've been tricked by the production team again. I feel sorry for you for a second."

…

The Han State has developed rapidly in the past twenty years.

In fact, rural areas in many places have been built into new rural areas.

Some new rural areas are better built than cities.

The old houses have all been demolished and replaced by small buildings of varying heights.

In addition, when filming this show, everyone wants to show their best side.

So, no one expected that the production team of "Love Journey" would do the opposite this time.

I found such a small mountain village to shoot.

The guests were also allowed to live in such houses.

However, when the audience learned that this was already the best house in the village, they could hardly believe it.

At the beginning of the show, Director Guo began to introduce Miao Village to the audience and fans in the live broadcast room.

The audience and fans only then realized that this Miao Village was the next target of the program’s donation.

And what the program crew said about inviting Shao Yuan and others to come over for a trip was actually true.

Because in Miaojia Village, although it is poor and backward, it actually has natural caves and natural hot springs.

In this episode, the chief of Miao Village will act as a tour guide.

Lead me, Shao Yuan and others to visit the caves and hot springs.

Of course, before departure, the program team finally let the guest stars appear.

There are two flying guests in this episode.

One is the actor Xu Shou from Zhao Pictures, and the other is the actor Zhou Hao from World Entertainment Media.

Shiyu Media originally sent another golden signboard.

However, it was scheduled for the next issue.

Liu Ying also has selfish motives, and now Zhao Pictures is under her control.

Love Journey has so much traffic, it would be better to give it to artists from other companies instead of making it cheaper.

It would be better to give it to our own artists at a lower price.

What's more, Xu Shou was nominally Liu Ying's junior brother.

When Zhao Kangqian dealt with Liu Ying, Xu Shou once helped Liu Ying.

So, in this episode, Liu Ying included Xu Shou.

There were actually a lot of rumors about Xu Shou and Zhou Hao being a couple, but they just hadn't made it public.

Of course, the two are not lovers, they are just good friends.

This time I came to the show just as a temporary guest.

As soon as the two people in black tops appeared, a group of fans in the live broadcast room started screaming.

"It's Dashouzi? How could it be him? Isn't he filming recently?"

"Ahhh, my big birthday boy, he's here. So excited, so excited."

"Zhou Hao is here too! This is incredible! Two movie stars have been invited to this episode? Am I dreaming?"

"This is incredible! Aren't these two currently filming a drama? How could they have time to appear on a dating show? Are they planning to officially announce their relationship?"

"No way, no way? Are they really going to make it official? Some people said they were a couple before, and I thought it was fake."

"The couple I'm obsessed with has come true?"

…

That’s right, Xu Shou and Zhou Hao have quite a lot of CP fans.

After all, they both debuted at the same time, they are both handsome and hardworking.

The most important thing is that the two are still good friends and have collaborated on many dramas.

There were gossips before that the two had been secretly dating for a long time.

It's just not made public.

So, after seeing these two appear on the show "Love Journey", the first reaction was that the two were preparing to make their relationship public.

After Xu Shou and Zhou Hao arrived, they greeted Shao Yuan and others with a smile.

Of course, when facing Lin Tianxing and others, he was humble and polite.

When facing me, Shao Yuan, he was extremely respectful.

After all, I, Shao Yuan, am Xu Shou's boss.

Zhou Hao was arranged here this time because his boss wanted to use him to get along well with me, Shao Yuan.

As a tool, Zhou Hao is of course respectful to me, Shao Yuan.

I, Shao Yuan, know both of them.

After all, Xu Shou and Zhou Hao are both powerful movie stars.

Both started acting in their teens.

It can be said that I, Shao Yuan, grew up watching their plays.

The feeling towards both of them is pretty good.

Seeing them appear together reminded me of how many people on the Internet were shipping them as a couple.

Zhen Shao Yuan laughed and teased, "I heard yesterday that there were some flying guests coming, but I didn't expect it to be you two. You two came to our show so blatantly as a pair, are you two really dating?"

Xu Shou quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. Xiao Hao and I are really just friends."

Zhou Hao immediately echoed, "Yes, we're really just friends, nothing more. Those entertainment gossips are just nonsense. Please don't misunderstand me, please don't misunderstand me."

Everyone laughed when they saw the two of them trying so hard to explain.

Everyone knows about the fact that people are shipping them as a couple online.

But everyone in the entertainment industry actually knows that they are really just good friends.

It's not a romantic relationship.

"Okay, let's get going now."

The camera moves with Zhen Shao Yuan and others.

The audience fans saw the mud brick houses in the village.

I also saw children wearing patched clothes, with small toes, and elderly people.

Although there were not many shots, the audience and fans still remembered this scene clearly.

Shao Yuan and others also asked Village Chief Miao to introduce the situation in their village in a timely manner.

Let the audience fans in front of the camera get to know this Miao village in the mountains.

When I heard from the village chief that the total annual income of a family in this village was only five or six thousand yuan.

Moreover, as the elderly in the village grew older, the income gradually decreased, and the audience in front of the camera fell silent.

Five or six thousand is basically just the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in first- and second-tier cities.

But it is only the annual income of one household here.

No wonder the young people in the village leave the elderly and children behind to go out to work.

Just when Zhen Shao Yuan and others were about to reach the end of the village, suddenly, a child rushed in front of Zhen Shao Yuan.

Then he raised his sallow little face, stretched out his little hand, and handed a cooked egg in his hand to me, Shao Yuan.

I, Shao Yuan, was stunned and recognized that this was the child who fell in front of me yesterday.

He squatted down, looked at the child at eye level, and asked, "Are the eggs for me?"

The child nodded shyly, looking into Shao Yuan's eyes, which were sparkling.

He stretched the egg in his hand in front of me, Shao Yuan, and said to me in a crisp voice: "Piao Piao Guo Guo, the egg is for you."

A child's hands are very small, like four small carrots, and can only wrap around half an egg.

Floating pot?

Hearing this novel name, I, Shao Yuan, smiled.

Ask him, "Why do you give me eggs?"

The child grinned and said, "Thank you."

Thanks?

Could it be that he was thanking me for helping him yesterday?

So, thank him with eggs?

I, Shao Yuan's eyes softened.

She took the egg from his hand and rubbed his little head.

The little guy narrowed his eyes and looked very happy.

Although, the clothes the little guy was wearing were all patched.

But it washes very clean.

The little guy is also very clean and cute.

Zhen Shaoyuan suddenly remembered that this morning, Siyi was afraid that he might have low blood sugar, so she put two chocolates in his pocket.

He took it out and put it in the little guy's hand.

"This is a return gift."

Then I, Shao Yuan, smiled and rubbed the little guy's hair again, then left with the village chief.

The children around saw that the child received the chocolate given by me, Shao Yuan. Although they didn't know what it was, they all showed envy.

The little guy happily took the two chocolates and ran home to see his grandma with his short legs.

The cave is on the hill behind the village.

To reach the cave, you need to climb a mountain road.

Except for Chengsheng, the otaku, everyone else has more or less decent physical strength.

Not to mention Si Yi. Everyone was panting and sweating profusely, but there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead.

This was in stark contrast to the sweat-soaked Shao Yuan and the others.

Si Yi took out a tissue and handed it to Zhen Shao Yuan, "If you feel tired, I can carry you up."

"No need. I can walk by myself." Zhen Shao Yuan took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It just so happens that I haven't been exercising much recently. I should exercise a little."

Cheng Sheng, who was standing by, saw that Si Yi was not sweating at all and was breathing heavily. He said with admiration, "Si Yi, your physical strength is amazing. How do you usually train? If I had half of your physical strength, I could reach the top of the mountain in one breath."

Chengsheng used to be a otaku who always liked to stay at home and play games.

Rarely exercise.

So my physical strength is very poor.

Si Yi replied with a faint smile, "If Mr. Cheng wants to have better physical strength, just run ten kilometers every morning."

"Ten kilometers?" Chengsheng was surprised, then immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it. With my physique, my legs would be broken if I ran ten kilometers. I think climbing a mountain is good enough now. Climbing a mountain is still better."

That's not running, that's killing him.

Compared with the ten kilometers, Chengsheng suddenly felt that climbing this mountain was not that difficult.

Well, he could hold on a little longer.

Everyone was amused when they saw Chengsheng's timid look.

Although the surrounding jungle is dense, the road from the village to the cave has long been opened up.

After walking for about forty minutes, Zhen Shao Yuan and others finally reached the entrance of the cave.

Then, everyone took out their flashlights and followed the village chief into the cave.

This cave in Miaojia Village is very large, but because it has not been developed, there is no light inside.

The light is very dim.

However, the crew was well prepared.

There were staff members holding lights in the front and back to provide lighting.

There are also security personnel scout the way ahead to ensure the safety of the guests.

The people in the middle, including Shao Yuan, also had a flashlight in their hands.

After climbing the mountain for dozens of minutes, everyone felt quite tired and hot.

Unexpectedly, after entering the cave, I felt my whole body cool down instantly.

The temperature in the cave was at least ten degrees higher than that outside.

The cave is very large and winding.

The lights shine on the various natural stalactites, reflecting light of different colors.

The natural stalactites in the cave are formed into various shapes.

Some look like animals, and some look like plants.

There are even waterfalls and various landscapes.

Combined with the faint sound of flowing water, people feel as if they are in the deep palace of Guanghan Palace.

One can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature's creation.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also amazed.

The entire cave runs through the two mountains of Miao Village.

It took Shao Yuan and others more than three hours to get out.

In fact, they had only walked less than one-third of the entire cave.

Because it has not been developed, they cannot go to many places.

You can only follow the village chief and take the safest route.

Despite this, Shao Yuan and others felt that this trip was worth it.

A group of people ate the self-heating rice distributed by the program team on the mountain and then set off towards another scenic spot.

The next attraction is to see the waterfall.

After coming out of the cave, the village chief led them along a small path down the mountain and came to the other side of the mountain.

First they heard the sound of running water.

Then everything became clear.

Saw the waterfall cascading down from the mountain.

The midday sun shone on the waterfall and actually refracted a rainbow.

It's so beautiful and dreamy.

Everyone was completely fascinated by the wonders of nature.

The number of photos in my phone keeps growing.

It was not until after five in the afternoon that the group reluctantly returned to the village chief's house.

After a short rest, the village chief began to serve dinner to everyone.

Because there were so many people, the village chief couldn’t handle it all by himself.

I, Shao Yuan and others are here to help.

Zhen Shao Yuan and others helped to pick vegetables, and Si Yi took the initiative to help cook.

Dinner was simple: leeks and eggs, cabbage stewed with bacon, and stir-fried lettuce.

Although the dishes are few, the portions are large.

I don’t know if it’s because I consumed too much energy during the day.

The raw materials of this dish are good, and Si Yi’s cooking skills are even better.

I, Shao Yuan and others enjoyed the delicious meal.

The audience and fans in front of the camera were all crying with envy.

After dinner, a large group of people began to clean up, some washed dishes, some cleaned, and some wiped the table.

Originally, I, Shao Yuan, was going to wash the dishes, but was snatched away by Xu Shou.

Just kidding, this is the big boss.

How can you let the big boss wash dishes?

Zhou Hao was also excited and picked up the broom and started cleaning.

The others also did the other work, and I, Shao Yuan, didn't get involved at all.

Under a nice name, Si Yi cooked for them and I, Shao Yuan, also served the dishes.

The rest of the work should be done by them.

I, Shao Yuan, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, which made him really act like a young master.

When he turned around, he found a little head leaning against the door, with two bright little eyes staring at him intently.

Isn't this the kid who gave me eggs this morning?

When the little guy saw Zhen Shao Yuan looking at him, his eyes lit up.

Then he waved at me, Shao Yuan, and showed a few small white teeth.

"Piao Piao Guo Guo..."

When I, Shao Yuan, saw him, I hurried out the door.

Then squat down in front of the child.

"Little boy, why are you here? Have you eaten?"

"Uh-huh."

The little guy nodded his head vigorously, then stretched out his little hand behind his back in front of me, Shao Yuan.

I, Shao Yuan, looked down and found that the little fellow was holding a bun shaped like a rabbit in his hand.

The rabbit's appearance is actually not very similar.

I, Shao Yuan, was able to figure it out by looking at those two erect ears.

The rabbit's eyes are like two red beans. Its body is round and plump. If its ears weren't standing up, I, Shao Yuan, would have thought it was a pig.

The little fellow placed the bunny bun into my hand, then smiled, showing his little white teeth, and said to me, "Ri Ri Gao Gao, it's delicious."

Coincidentally, the village chief also came out of the house.

I saw the little guy giving rabbit buns to me, Shao Yuan.

He smiled and said, "Hey, Tutu is here? Are you here to bring a birthday cake to Fourth Grandpa?"

The little fellow shook his head, then pointed at Zhen Shao Yuan and said, "Gao Gao, give me the pot."

The village chief was surprised and said, "Oh, Tutu actually gave the birthday cake to his brother? Tutu really likes this brother?"

"Yeah." The little guy nodded his head vigorously again, then grinned and said, "Huanhuan."

Even though the little guy can't speak clearly yet.

But from the expression he gave him, I could tell that he liked me, Shao Yuan.

"Birthday cake?"

I, Shao Yuan, held the rabbit bun in my hand and looked up at the village chief.

"Yes, this is the birthday cake Tutu's grandmother made for him."

The village chief said, "Our village is too far from the county town. It usually takes a long time for the villagers to leave the village. A few days ago, Tutu's grandmother took him to the county town, and when he came back, he clamored for a birthday cake. Birthday cakes are expensive things. We country people can't afford them. Tutu's grandmother used the white flour she prepared for the New Year to make this for him. She lied to Tutu and said this was his birthday cake."

I heard the village chief say that they couldn’t even afford birthday cake.

Even white flour has to be saved for the Chinese New Year.

My heart, Shao Yuan, felt like it was hit hard by a hammer.

I, Shao Yuan, suddenly remembered the egg that the child gave him this morning.

I, Shao Yuan, know that many country people save their eggs and sell them for money.

Therefore, the things they take for granted are rare luxuries for them.

“Tutu…”

An old voice shouted from behind.

I, Shao Yuan, stood up and turned around, and saw an old lady with a slightly hunched back and gray hair standing not far away.

That’s Tutu’s grandmother.

When Tutu heard his grandmother calling him, he looked at Zhen Shao Yuan reluctantly, then ran towards his grandmother.

Tutu's grandmother took Tutu's hand, nodded to Zhen Shao Yuan from a distance, then turned around and walked away with Tutu.

I, Shao Yuan, just watched the two figures disappear around the corner.

He lowered his head and looked at the rabbit bun in his hand.

Then he looked at the horizon not far away which was gradually fading into darkness.

Frowning.

Si Yi stood at the door and saw what happened. She said nothing.

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw what happened just now. After all, Ding Lanlan had been following Shao Yuan.

After listening to what the village chief said just now, many viewers and fans felt as if a stone was pressing down on their hearts.

"How pitiful! He can't even afford a piece of cake."

"It's just a piece of cake, buy it. I'll donate 300 yuan, and the production team can buy a cake for Tutu."

"I'll donate 500 and buy two."

"Come on, didn't you hear what the village chief said this morning? It takes more than two hours to drive from there to the county town. And the road is not easy to travel. There's no way the production team can drive that far to buy cakes."

"Yeah, we're filming a show, please don't mess with us. If you really want to, why not buy it for Tutu yourself?"

"Didn't the production team donate money to this village? Then Tutu should be able to have a piece of cake."

"Besides the cake, we also need to buy Tutu some new clothes and shoes. The other children in the village also need them."

"Please let the program team announce the address. I want to buy some clothes and shoes for those children and the elderly."

"I also want to send something to them. Please hurry up and give me the address."

…

A large group of people are overflowing with sympathy. Every one of them is @ the program team.

However, the show is still being filmed, so the production team certainly cannot give the address.

But everyone in the program team was very happy to see so many people starting to pay attention to this poor little mountain village.

However, at this time, some alternative barrages suddenly appeared.

Those barrages are directed at me, Shao Yuan.

"Those people upstairs, you're still donating things. How much can you possibly donate? Isn't there a super-rich person in the village right now? Why not just let him donate?"

"Isn't my Shao Yuan rich? Donating tens or hundreds of millions to the village is no small matter."

"That's right. When I, Shao Yuan, casually go shopping and buy something, it costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Wouldn't it be better if he bought fewer things and donated a few hundred million to the village?"

"How can a few hundred million be enough? I think we should donate several billion. Help those villagers build houses and repair roads. Then give each household a few million, enough for the elderly to support their children and send them to school. That way they won't have to worry about anything."

"Anyway, I, Shao Yuan, am very rich, so donating 10 billion is not too much."

…
