Chapter 38
Qian Da paced furiously, banging the ground with a wooden stick in his hand. Seeing Qian Erniu getting closer and closer to the program guests, he roared, "You damn girl, stop running! I won't hit you anymore. Come back here quickly!"
Qian Erniu turned a deaf ear and ran straight to the Fairy Sister with the whitest skin. She casually threw something into her hand and ran behind other female guests. Finally, amid Qian Da's hysterical roar, she ran away.
Nan Tao was stunned, holding a small piece of paper in her hand. It was the one Qian Erniu had thrown to her. Her hands were resting on her knees under the table. She looked around, but no one seemed to have noticed.
She was curious about what the girl had written on the note, but it was inconvenient to see because there were so many people around. Nan Tao called Yu Ze over, pretended to tidy up his clothes, put the note into his trouser pocket, and then let him continue playing.
After dinner, everyone said goodbye to each other.
Jiang Hui pulled Nan Tao closer and whispered, "How about we squeeze in and sleep together tonight?"
Nan Tao gave Jiang Hui a big hug. "Thanks, sister. That small single bed in your room is fine for us to lie on for a while in the afternoon, but sleeping like this at night is too torturous."
Jiang Hui: "Okay, be careful on your way back, and be careful not to slip on the rocks at night."
After separating from the main group, Nan Tao took Yu Ze and the filming crew to the cabin on the sea.
The summer evening breeze is very cool, blowing gently across the body, like cold and soft jelly sliding across the skin, very comfortable.
As we got closer to the beach, the perceived temperature became lower. If the summer evening breeze just now was refreshing and comfortable, now it has directly transitioned to the autumn wind. Although not as cold as the winter wind, it is cool in summer clothes, and the skin exposed to the air will get goose bumps.
Nan Tao rubbed her palms together and crossed her arms, "Son, are you cold?"
Yu Ze shook his head: "Not cold."
Nan Tao reached out and touched Yu Ze's forehead, then tested the temperature of his palm. "Children have a strong firepower, much warmer than Mommy."
Yu Ze held Nan Tao's hand and said, "Warm up Mommy."
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Nan Tao and her son finally returned to their house.
When I pushed open the door of the cabin, it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
Nan Tao was a little scared and quickly stepped back to hide behind the cameraman. "Brother, please turn on the light. It's too dark in there."
The key point is not only that it is dark, but from time to time you can hear the sound of waves hitting the sea and the sound of the sea breeze. There is always a sense of mystery and unknown, which is daunting.
The cameraman found the switch and with a click, the light in the cabin came on. The lamp was hanging in the middle of the cabin, swaying in the sea breeze and seemed to be about to fall down in the next second.
Looking at the lamp that was about to fall off, and then looking at the strange yellowish light line, I always felt like it was a haunted house in a horror movie. The more I thought about it, the scarier I became.
Nan Tao hugged her arms tightly and stood at the door, reluctant to go into the house.
"Mommy, why don't you come in?" Yu Ze urged.
Nan Tao forced a smile and said, "Mommy will be in right away."
Seeing the cameraman about to leave, Nan Tao quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
The cameraman scratched his head and said, "Go sleep over there."
Nan Tao followed the direction of his finger and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then you should go to bed early and get up early."
She was so scared that she thought everyone had left and abandoned her and her child in this small cabin on the sea.
Netizens watching the live broadcast were amused by this scene.
[Is Taozi afraid? ]
[He looks like a foolish and brave person, but he is actually timid.]
"I'd be scared too, mainly because the light is a warm yellow. If it were white, I wouldn't be scared."
[Hahaha, the cameraman must be confused, thinking, if I don't leave, should I stay and sleep with you? Even if I want to, the question is, do I dare?]
[I'm dying of laughter... I've got that scene.]
Nan Tao took a shirt from the suitcase and put it on, then boiled some water to brush her teeth and wash her face. As for showering, only Zhou Mei's room had a bathroom, so they agreed during dinner to take turns showering in the evening and morning. Her shower today was in the morning, so she could shower in the evening tomorrow.
After cleaning up, Nan Tao took Yu Ze's changed shirt and covered the camera. After they changed into pajamas, they pulled off the shirt to expose the camera.
Nan Tao picked out a small piece of paper from Yu Ze's trouser pocket, then lay comfortably on the bed, with her left hand resting on the back of her head, and opened the small piece of paper with her right hand. She saw only two words "Lan Wen" written on it, which seemed to be a person's name.
"Mommy, what are you looking at?" Yu Ze leaned close to Nan Tao to look.
Nan Tao: "Baby, do these two characters sound like a person's name?"
Yu Ze nodded: "Yes."
Nan Tao: “I think so too.”
Could it be the name of the pregnant woman? It seemed Qian Erniu knew about her mother's abduction. If she knew, why didn't she just call the police instead of using a roundabout way to pass her a note?
If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Nan Tao never likes to make things difficult for herself. She took out her mobile phone, took a picture of the note, and then sent the picture to the director, asking him to help contact the police to check this person's name, as it might be related to a women trafficking case.
Netizens in Nantao’s live broadcast room watched this scene with some curiosity.
[When did Taotao get a small piece of paper in her hand? Who gave it to her? Did she write it herself?]
【Didn’t you see Taotao writing on the note herself?】
[If it wasn't written by Taozi, then it was written by Zebaobei. I didn't see anyone else give it, so it probably wasn't the program team. The program team usually gives out task cards.]
[Did you see what was written on it? I'm so curious.]
[I've already leaned over the phone screen, but I still can't see it. The note is too small, and the words on it are too similar. I can't see them at all.]
[Look, Taozi is taking a photo of the note. It seems like she's sending a message to someone?]
[Is this a mysterious mission from the program team? ]
Amidst everyone's curious speculation, Nan Tao and Yu Ze quickly fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Nan Tao was woken up by the heat.
The sun rises early over the sea and hangs in the distant east.
Nan Tao rubbed her eyes drowsily and woke up Yu Ze. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they quickly went to Zhou Mei's house to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I feel refreshed.
Nan Tao picked up the little Yang Xuan who had just woken up and whose face was flushed, and said, "Good morning, Xuan Xuan, baby."
Little Yang Xuan said in a milky voice, "Auntie Taozi is up so early today."
Nan Tao coughed softly, "Auntie usually doesn't get up too late."
While the adult and the child were talking, Jiang Hui and Zhan Li arrived. After taking a quick shower, the three groups of mothers and children set off towards the gathering place.
Seeing that everyone was present, the village chief said, "Let's have breakfast first. After breakfast, we will start our mission."
After breakfast, the guests were wondering what their task was for today.
Soon, led by the village chief, the guests, big and small, arrived at the beach.
The village chief pointed to the sea. "Do you see the inflatable boats? The food is all floating on the surface. Children, first, choose the seafood and other ingredients you ate last night. Then, the adults will paddle the inflatable boats to the corresponding food according to the pictures their children picked, pick them up, and take them away. If the food the children chose wasn't eaten last night, there won't be any food on the sea. The ingredients you get from this mission will be everyone's lunch."
The adults wailed, "It's over. Is it really that hard?"
The village chief smiled and said, "Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?"
The children thought this game was very fun and were all excited and eager to start it.
The adults walked toward the inflatable boat, their heads hanging low.
Little Yangxuan and Zhang Tong participated very actively at the beginning, but soon lost interest. After picking out the ingredients they thought they had eaten yesterday, they went to build castles happily hand in hand.
Yu Ze and Zhan Li stood in front of the village chief with serious faces, staring at the photos of the ingredients, thinking carefully about which ones they had eaten yesterday.
Suddenly, Yu Ze's eyes lit up and he pointed at one of the photos in the village chief's hand. "I ate this last night. It's black tiger shrimp."
The village chief smiled and handed it to Yu Ze, "Here."
After Yu Ze took the photo, he quickly ran to the beach, waving the photo in one hand and holding a loudspeaker in the other, shouting loudly: "Mommy, it's black tiger shrimp!"
"What?" The wind was too strong and Nan Tao couldn't hear clearly.
Yu Ze usually had a cool, aloof image, but today, in order to ensure that he and his mom wouldn't go hungry, he shouted with all his might, "Yes, we ate last night."
I don’t know if Feng’er couldn’t stand it anymore, so he brought these words to Nan Tao’s ears.
Nan Tao's eyes lit up, and she quickly paddled the inflatable boat towards the seafood and shrimp area. Even if she didn't get anything else in the end, and only got the black tiger shrimp, eating a few more should still be enough to fill her up.
However, imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.
Nan Tao paddled and paddled, but the inflatable boat kept spinning in place. She was so anxious that she kept shouting, "Why aren't you moving? Move on, big brother! Stop, stop spinning in place..."
After a while, a headwind came.
Nan Tao was angry that the inflatable boat finally stopped spinning in place and drifted in the opposite direction of its destination.
"Hey, that's not right, why is it the other way around?"
"I row and row, row and row..."
Nan Tao waved the oars desperately.
It turns out that sometimes the harder you work, the worse your luck.
Driven by the headwind, Nan Tao drifted farther and farther away, and even everyone's figures could not be seen anymore.
When Yu Ze saw that his mommy was gone, he ran back to the village chief in a panic, "Village chief, my mommy is missing."
The village chief frowned, strode towards the seaside, and looked around on tiptoe. "Strange, where are the people?"
After the program staff learned about it, they immediately sent a yacht to look for the person.
When Nan Tao returned on the yacht, the mission had already been completed. Except for Jiang Hui who had some small gains, everyone else was wiped out.
Jiang Hui wondered: "Taozi, where have you been? How come the staff brought you back on a yacht?"
Nan Tao's face was dejected. "Don't mention it. It's just a bunch of bitter tears. I started rowing, but it kept going in circles. Then I was able to move, but ended up going in the opposite direction."
Yu Ze hugged Nan Tao's thighs tightly, "Mommy."
Nan Tao comforted, "It's okay, baby."
Zhou Mei: "Bad luck."
Nan Tao: "Who says it's not?"
Wen Manqing: "We will go hungry at noon today."
Jiang Hui looked at the ingredients in her hand and said, "Let's eat together. With these dishes, the program team should provide rice for free, right?"
Everyone looked at the village chief.
Village chief: "Rice is free, and soup is also free."
The live broadcast netizens burst into laughter.
[The program team is probably letting the show off.]
[It's impossible not to give them some slack. Who would have thought that this episode's guests, apart from actress Jiang, would be so unreliable.]
[This is too bad. Actress Jiang is completely alone and leads three people.]
[Is Taozi a comedian? I'm dying of laughter.]
[The harder I work, the more unlucky I get. Peach is no match for me, haha.]
Everyone carried the food back to the gathering place.
Zhou Mei and Nan Tao washed and cut vegetables, while Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing cooked.
Just as everyone was cooking, a burst of weeping, heart-wrenching cries came from not far away.
"My son, I have finally found you."
"My poor son, we have been looking for you for twenty-six years."
"You bastard, why did you kidnap my daughter?"
