Chapter 22 Weird Kid 22
The law of true fragrance applies to all living things.
While Yan Xia was standing there drinking water, the bird had already sipped one, and then without any hesitation, it used its claws to push the remaining few to the ground. It even scratched the one that was not broken.
The speed at which it sucks eggs is enough to compete with the woodpecker for work.
After Yan Xia drank a glass of water slowly, only a few eggshells were left on the ground. The bird lay there with its eyes squinting, and it was unclear whether it was holding on or just recalling the wonderful taste.
Yan Xia took a piece of kitchen paper, picked up the shell and threw it into the trash can, and ignored this bird with a full-level foodie attribute. As for whether to find a wife for it, forget it for now. He was afraid that this bird would get angry and even want to taste its taste with his own wife.
Yan Xia felt sleepy, and when he returned to his room and opened his eyes again, the hottest time of the noon had passed. He was the only one in the room, and bursts of laughter could be heard from downstairs from time to time.
Yan Xia washed his face and went downstairs to find that except for the youngest child Yi Jingchen who was still sleeping in the living room, he was the only one left.
Yan Xia's face turned slightly red. This body was worthy of being produced by the bureau. She always slept like a baby.
The laughter lasted for about ten minutes. Little Yi Jingchen nestled in Yi Lixiao's arms and was taken down. He was soft and cute, and looked like he had not woken up yet.
Another quarter of an hour later, music sounded in the yard. The cheerful melody opened the curtain of the afternoon recording, and Director Shang's "Hello, hello, hello" was amplified by the loudspeaker.
After the six groups of guests stood in a row, they heard Director Shang's unprepared question, asking them whether they were satisfied with the lunch. Then three people came out from the staff. Shang Changming introduced them as the chef of the lunch this morning and at noon and his two apprentices.
After the three people introduced themselves and exchanged a few words with the guests, Director Shang finally began to talk about his arrangements.
In the afternoon, the guests will compete with the chefs. It’s not about cooking skills or knife skills, but the game of hide-and-seek that the program crew lost last night.
Others would take a nap where they fell, but Director Shang, a strong middle-aged man, would avenge himself where he fell.
The game has made some changes based on last night, and the new name is: Location Hide and Seek.
The event lasts three hours and covers the entire village and its surrounding areas. Guests, both adults and children, participate. In addition to the three chefs, the program team will send out six more people, for a total of nine people.
Among the guests, each child is counted as half a person, so the total number is nine.
Everyone will be given a mobile phone with a positioning system, and the elimination method is no longer the one where you have to catch people like last night. Instead, you will use your mobile phone to take photos and send them to the group created by the staff. After taking the photos, they will be confirmed by the director. If any part of your body is photographed, you will be eliminated.
When Shang Changming announced this rule, he also deliberately glanced at Yan Xia who was playing with his mobile phone. Yan Xia looked up and blinked when he felt his gaze, looking quite well-behaved and innocent.
Shang Changming's eyebrows twitched slightly, he lowered his head to look at the card in his hand and continued reading.
There were no other restrictions except that the mobile phones with location were not allowed to be thrown away. The team with more eliminated players within three hours lost. If one team was completely eliminated before three hours, the game ended early.
If the guest group wins, dinner will be provided by the three chefs. If they lose, they not only have to cook their own dinner but also prepare the dishes ordered by the chefs.
Shang Changming finished reading the last one, and before he put down the card, Feng Jianxian said quietly: "Whether we win or lose, this is a punishment for the three chefs."
If you lose, you have to prepare delicious food for others. If you win, you have to eat food of unknown taste made by others.
Among their group of people, the only one whose cooking skills can keep up with the chef is a child, and they can't let the child do it all by himself.
Everyone in the courtyard: “…………”
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.
Live broadcast room:
[Chef Hahaha: I don’t want to either, but they gave me too much.]
[In the end, the three of them took on everything. ]
[That's not right, Yan Xia's cooking is still delicious. ]
[The sister in front is naive. She just cooks for herself because it tastes good. She can't cook so much by herself.]
[I understand. Because they were too busy, they ate the delicious food themselves and let outsiders eat the unpalatable food. Wow, the guests of this session really know how to entertain guests. ]
[Chef: Let me take a closer look at what's going on? ]
Regardless, the game continues.
Each staff member was given a GoPro, and this time there was a cameraman following the filming. On the one hand, the GoPro was given for the edited material, and on the other hand, looking at all the variety shows, it is not uncommon for some guests to get rid of the cameraman when they get serious.
After confirming that everything was correct, the nine people from the program team got on the car. When they arrived at the end of the village, with two groups heading south and north, the game officially began.
The vehicle left and the guest group gathered together.
Yuan Yankai's face no longer had the fatigue that had nearly made him vomit gall in the morning. He studied the location on his phone carefully, "Why do I feel like our chances of winning are slim?"
Although there were fewer people on the opposite side than them, they were all adults.
Yi Lixiao nodded in agreement: "How about hiding the children first?"
As soon as he said this, he was refuted by the child. Yuan Xiao, who had just won the hide-and-seek game yesterday, shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want to hide, I want to shoot them!"
The little girl has full confidence in herself.
Yan Xia leaned half on his brother and expressed his own opinion: "If we disperse, there are twelve positions, and they only have nine people. There will always be some that we can't take care of."
Yuan Xiao nodded vigorously: "That's right!"
…
Before they could discuss a specific strategy, the people over there had already reached the end of the village, and Director Shang blew the whistle to announce the start of the game.
Yan Xia followed him out of the hospital with a GoPro in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. The positioning page was specially distinguished. The guests had a uniform big red avatar, while the nine people in the program team had blue avatars.
Now the two sides occupy one end each. The same colors that were originally crowded together are gradually being distanced as each person moves.
Ten minutes after the main group dispersed, Yan Xia took PD Tan Yi and the cameraman walking on a small path. The whole village was very large, and the distance from the blue group on the opposite side was still quite far. Yan Xia could only check the location on his mobile phone from time to time, and look around to see if there was any place where he could hide and see others.
A "beep beep beep" sound was heard behind him. Yan Xia turned around and took his eyes off the phone. An electric tricycle with a canopy was coming from behind. The road was narrow, and if they didn't move aside, the car wouldn't be able to pass.
Yan Xia moved to the side in small steps while looking inside the car. When the tricycle was about to pass by, Yan Xia stretched out his short arms, and the uncle driving the car stopped and turned to look over.
"What's up, kid?"
Yan Xia smiled like a child from another family: "Uncle, where are you going?"
Probably because he had never been filmed before, the uncle even glanced at the cameraman and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going home."
Yan Xia: "Where is your home?"
The uncle pointed to a place while talking and gesturing.
As the uncle spoke, Yan Xia lowered his head to study the location, and after confirming it, he looked up and said, "Can you give me a little time? It's right at your home."
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that!" The uncle readily helped open the door from the inside.
There were only two rows of seats in the front of the electric tricycle with a canopy. An uncle sat in the driver's seat, and an aunt sat in the back row. Yan Xia was small, so he sat directly next to the uncle. The aunt moved to the side and made a seat for Tan Yi.
The cameraman was left outside to look at the crowded seats in the front and the fully loaded back bed of the truck.
Cameraman: “…………”
The uncle seemed to have just discovered this problem: "What should I do with this brother?"
Yan Xia adjusted the GoPro pole and said, "It's okay. They will figure it out on their own. It won't be a big problem if you don't follow them."
The uncle nodded simply, turned the handle, and the car drove away.
Tan Yi turned his head and glanced at his colleagues outside the car, then looked at the back of the child in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
Yan Xia felt being watched, but he did not turn around. It was true that he did not want to walk so far in such a hot day, and he also really did not want the cameraman to follow him. If he did, it would more or less affect his performance, and he could not say it directly. So he stood there with the camera in his hand, telling others clearly that there was someone nearby.
He and his elder brother are different from several other groups of guests who make a living in this industry. They don't really need the stable pictures taken by the cameraman.
Yan Xia thought so and smiled at the GoPro camera. By now, the staff had probably switched the live broadcast channel.
In the live broadcast that he couldn't see:
【The cameraman is happy to get off work. 】
[Hahahahaha, I got the achievement for not being able to keep up with the camera today! ]
[It’s totally possible for the camera to follow first, and the PD can find the car himself. ]
[Let me guess, the PD is probably worried and wants to follow him everywhere. Before the show was finished, the child was injured twice.]
[This can’t be blamed on the PD. ]
[He is the one who is responsible for the people. If anything happens, he will be held responsible.]
…
While the audience was discussing enthusiastically, the tricycle turned a few corners and stopped near a small shop, next to which was the uncle's house. After Yan Xia thanked him, he got off the car and walked forward. There was a big tree on one side of the road, and six or seven old ladies were sitting under it to enjoy the cool air.
Before they got closer, Yan Xia vaguely heard a few words such as "married seven times" and "the child ran away" among the chattering. As he and Tan Yi passed by, the voices gradually disappeared and then started again, rustling and difficult to hear.
Tan Yi, who was walking on the right, turned his head twice, as if he wanted to understand which capable person had been married seven times. Yan Xia looked away from his phone and glanced at Tan Yi.
"They may have changed the subject. They may now be discussing how much money you can make in this line of work and whether it is easy to find a partner to marry."
Tan Yi: “…………”
Tan Yi: "You know a lot."
Is this something that someone with a kindergarten diploma should master?
Yan Xia said modestly: "Not bad."
Rural intelligence organizations exist in every world.
Tan Yi choked and said nothing more. He just pricked up his ears silently and followed Yan Xia's pace. Unfortunately, he heard nothing in the end.
As a member of the bureau, he has heard a lot of thrilling and bizarre stories. Country gossip can no longer arouse Yan Xia's curiosity. He only cares about where to have dinner. Once again, the system of being a human being is so superficial!
On the positioning page, red and blue avatars were scattered everywhere, and the distance between the two camps was constantly shortening. Yan Xia noticed that there was another red avatar slowly approaching the blue side. It seemed that he was not the only one who used transportation.
The blue team also had two or three soldiers moving very quickly, as if they were sending out a few small soldiers to test the waters before a battle.
Moreover, the two blue avatars seemed to be heading straight in his direction. Yan Xia studied the situation for a while and then turned into a villager's house.
There was only an old grandmother and her grandson at home. Yan Xia stood at the door and politely explained his purpose, and was warmly welcomed by the old grandmother and her grandson. Seeing the little boy, who was about five or six years old, making several faces at the camera, Yan Xia took out two chocolates and gave them to him. These were bought at the airport when he came here. Director Shang confiscated them, so he kept them for himself.
Yan Xia only thought about it in the public area, his eyes moving around the pile of debris by the wall and Tan Yi for several circles, "I think you need to hide as well. Once others see you, they will know I'm here."
Tan Yi looked at the opened large cardboard box, and before he could react, he had already stepped inside due to the force.
When he came to his senses, Tan Yi moved his arms and legs, feeling extremely aggrieved, and his head was full of questions.
???
Why was he hiding so carefully? He had no position on him, so he could have just found a spacious corner to squat.
Moreover, even if the other party can't see him, with the location on his body, they will know that there is someone here.
Tan Yi was in a daze and hadn't figured out what was going on yet when a small empty box was placed on top of the big cardboard box where he was hiding. It wasn't heavy, but it gave off a sense of trying to cover up something.
With satisfaction, Yan Xia asked the old lady for a snakeskin bag that she no longer used. There was a hole at the bottom of the bag, which was just convenient for him to cover himself with and leave a place for his mobile phone camera.
Yan Xia hid in a small corner where he could directly see Tan Yi's position. There were many snakeskin bags full of dry goods piled around him. Compared with the big boxes, this place was really inconspicuous.
About a quarter of an hour later, a moving...cardboard box containing a refrigerator appeared near the door of the old lady's house that Yan Xia could not see.
The paper shell can also talk.
"Looking at the positioning, this is correct."
"It's been a while since I last moved. I guess it's a kid."
"Who knows, can a child run so far?"
"Only children can run far, adults are too lazy to move."
Probably because it was afraid of having its feet photographed, the paper shell moved very slowly. The old lady and the little boy were greeted by a paper shell with four eyes.
The voice of Zhikezi is obviously very young, but it also has the feeling of a weird uncle produced by the program team.
"Little boy, is there someone hiding in your house?"
The little boy smiled in front of the camera, "Guess."
Paper Shell: "I guess there is. Can you tell me where he is hiding?"
This is the bad thing about mobile phone positioning. Sometimes it can only be roughly accurate. Their location on the page has overlapped with the people inside, which only means that the person is here, but you still have to find the specific location yourself.
The little boy continued to smile but didn't say anything. Despite his young age, he understood the rules of the game very well.
Yan Xia, who was hiding in the dark, was very satisfied. It was worth the small bribe of chocolate he had given him earlier.
The duo had no choice but to search carefully on their own, bluffing as they searched.
"I'm looking at you."
"I can see your feet."
Yan Xia: “…………”
I don't believe you.
The voice in the paper shell was quiet for a while, then it sounded again with a tentative tone: "I love you walking alone in the dark alley...?"
Yan Xia: “…………”
Audience in the live broadcast room: [You understand primary school students. ]
As expected, the native elementary school student in the yard continued, "I love the way you don't kneel, I love you..."
Two groups of paper shells: "..."
This trick does seem to be somewhat useful, but not much.
After some attempts, the paper shell finally went around to where Tan Yi was. Yan Xia also saw the moving refrigerator shell. It must be said that he did a really good job of self-protection. He couldn't take any pictures of the body parts that could allow the director to certify the success.
The duo didn't say anything about having seen someone at this moment. They moved quietly, and when they moved to where Tan Yi was, they bumped into it with their cardboard boxes, knocking down the empty box on top, revealing a gap in the big box. The cardboard boxes instantly became visibly excited.
"Hey, it's here!"
“I got it!”
The joy lasted only three seconds. As Tan Yi stood up, Zhikezi exclaimed, "Why is it you?"
Maybe it was because he was too surprised, but Paper Shell lost his previous caution, and Yan Xia quickly photographed two pairs of feet.
To the extent that, before the surprised Paper Shells could figure out why their colleagues who were not participating in the game were also hiding so strictly, they were already informed by the director in the group that they were eliminated.
The Paper Shell Duo came with great fanfare and left without any preparation.
After everyone left, Yan Xia came out from the corner. Although he was covered in dust, the first shot he fired was successful!
Tan Yi stared at the person with resentment: "It feels like they are using me as bait."
Yan Xia shook his head: "How can you say that?"
"You can also understand it as a honey trap."
Tan Yi: “…”
If he hadn't had a little self-awareness, he would have believed it.
With the elimination of the two players on the blue team, the progress suddenly accelerated. Yan Xia first saw the photo of little Yi Jingchen in the group.
In the photo, a child is running with a puppy in his arms. Not far behind him, a mother dog is tied to a chain and her four legs are almost off the ground in such a hurry.
Also entering the country at the same time were a villager who was about to get up and the PD accompanying Yi Jingchen. The two were photographed as if they were fleeing rabbits.
With just this one photo, apart from the audience watching the show who know that they are playing hide-and-seek, those who don't know might think it is a casual photo of children in the countryside. It can be used to give primary school students a composition assignment where they have to describe the picture.
The main point is: Don’t steal puppies while the mother dog is still alive!
Compared to Yi Jingchen who was focused on the dog, Dong Laixi was a little more normal. Half of his body was photographed, and he looked weak. It was obvious that he tried to struggle, but to no avail.
More than half an hour passed, and the results in the group showed that there were still five people left on the blue team, and on their side... there were five and a half people.
Yan Xia hid behind a big tree and looked at his mobile phone, and asked what his elder brother was doing.
Yan Ji: “Drinking tea.”
Yan Xia sat up straight, "???"
Yan Ji gave a location, Yan Xia clicked it and found that there seemed to be two people there.
"With whom?"
Yan Ji: "Feng Lele."
Yan Xia: "His father?"
Yan Ji: “Me.”
Yan Xia: “???”
How could these two people drink together?
Yan Ji explained a few more words. In fact, the little fat boy was tired from playing, and there was no one to talk to him. He felt bored, so he looked for the person closest to him. He didn't expect that he would find his friend's father.
But since they had already found each other, they just went together. When the fat little boy was so thirsty that he asked the villagers for water, the host enthusiastically made tea for them.
Probably because the location showed there were two people, no one from the blue camp went there.
While Yan Xia was thinking that he was a little thirsty, he noticed that people from the opposite group seemed to be approaching from his direction.
Yan Xia quickly got into the state and found another villager's house. When he was thinking about whether to use the same trick again and let Tan Yi go up to sell it, he saw through the window of the villager's house the master chef of the three chefs walking towards him from the road.
Yan Xia: “???”
Sending heads thousands of miles away???
Before Yan Xia's brain could react, his hands moved first, giving the master chef a clear full-body photo.
So far in the game, after Yi Jingchen’s full-body photo, a second photo has appeared.
In the photo, the master chef, whose body shape is simply an enlarged version of Feng Lele, has a frown on his face and the paper fan in his hand is shaking, but the sweat on his face has not decreased, and he looks a little desperate.
It seems that this game makes not only the little fat boy tired, but also the master chef.
