The bus slowly started moving, and a member of the production crew came over with a box containing several cards: "Dear guests and teachers, and children, please draw the task you need to complete after arriving at Hundred Fox Village."
Su Yilan raised her hand: "Wait, do the children have tasks too?"
Staff: "Yes, that's right~ The children's task completion rate is also linked to their accommodation environment at night."
"Ouch! That's it." Su Yilan covered her face in despair: "I'm definitely staying in this pigsty tonight."
Su Hu rubbed the tip of his nose with his thumb: "Don't worry, Brother Hu will definitely not let you live in a pigsty!"
Su Yilan: "...Hehe."
He Junnan suggested, "How about we let the kids draw lots for this task?"
He's so unlucky. He only ever gets the guaranteed prize in the game's lottery. What if he gets a task like helping villagers clean their latrines?
Feng Langqing said calmly, "I have no objection."
Meng Xi smiled and said, "Of course."
Jiang Xinxin perked up a bit and responded enthusiastically: "I'll go first!"
Lin Le'an frowned: "Why should you go first? It's either rock-paper-scissors, or the younger ones go first, otherwise it's not fair!"
Jiang Xinxin was always a little tyrant at home, and she had never been spoken to like that by other children before. She immediately became unhappy, pouted, and subconsciously sought help from Jiang Chuyun.
Before Jiang Chuyun could speak, Feng Langqing said calmly, "Let the children play rock-paper-scissors. It's fair."
Jiang Chuyun opened her mouth and then closed it again, which made Jiang Xinxin very angry. Because of the camera, she didn't dare to lose her temper with Jiang Chuyun, so she could only cross her arms, pout, and sulk.
Su Hu ignored her and excitedly called out to Nan Yuanman, "Come on, Yuanman, let's play rock-paper-scissors!"
Nan Yuanman climbed over Feng Langqing and sat on his lap, stretching out her chubby little hands to play rock-paper-scissors with Su Hu. Lin Le'an also came over.
Meng Juanjuan glanced at Jiang Xinxin, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked in a low voice, "Xinxin, do you want to come along?"
Jiang Xinxin glanced at her and said reluctantly, "You guys asked me to go, not that I agreed to play with you."
Meng Juanjuan pursed her lips and hummed in agreement.
The winner of rock-paper-scissors drew first, and the five children temporarily became friendly and had a "sparring match". Nan Yuanman was lucky enough to be the second to draw.
The first person to draw a name was Lin Le'an, the third was Meng Juanjuan, the fourth was Su Hu, and the fifth was Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin burst into tears, and Jiang Chuyun had to coax her for a long time before she could finally stop crying.
They hadn't even reached the village yet, but Jiang Chuyun already felt incredibly exhausted. He held Jiang Xinxin in his arms, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on Nan Yuanman.
The little girl was sitting on Feng Langqing's strong lap, holding two task cards in her hands, chattering excitedly, completely unaffected by his and Jiang Xinxin's earlier predicament.
Jiang Chuyun was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why Nan Yuanman would suddenly become Feng Yingdi's sister.
Why didn't anyone in the Jiang family tell him about this?
Not to mention, the award-winning actor is his idol, and he just embarrassed his sister in front of his idol...
Jiang Chuyun felt that his life was shrouded in darkness, and he was sure that his idol hated him now.
No, he had to do something to salvage his image in front of his idol.
No matter what, Nan Yuanman is his niece, so she should speak well of him in front of his idol, right?
Once they arrive at Hundred Fox Village, he'll find an opportunity to approach her...
Nan Yuanman was unaware that Jiang Chuyun had set her sights on her; she was showing Feng Langqing the mission cards she had drawn.
Feng Langqing's task was to help a lame old man in Baihu Village chop firewood.
Nanman's task is to help the old man feed the chickens.
"I'm good at feeding chickens. Back in the countryside, my grandpa raised two chickens. I fattened them up nice and plump, but then he got sick, so I killed them to help him recover..." Nan Yuanman chattered excitedly, recounting the interesting stories she had encountered in the countryside.
Feng Langqing listened quietly with a smile on his lips, occasionally raising his hand to pat her head.
Su Hu and Lin Le'an also perked up their ears to listen, and later couldn't help but join the discussion.
Su Hu had never been to a real countryside, only to a farmhouse inn. He leaned against the back of the chair and asked Nan Yuanman a lot of strange and unusual questions.
Meng Juanjuan sat quietly without saying a word, but occasionally glanced at Nan Yuanman with envy.
Jiang Xinxin nestled in Jiang Chuyun's arms, pouting as she whispered, "What's so fun about that? A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world..."
Jiang Chuyun heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Soon, the two-hour drive was over, and the bus slowly drove into Baihu Village.
The program crew used a megaphone to explain the origin of Baihu Village to the guests: "The reason why Baihu Village is called this name is because, according to legend, three hundred years ago, the first generation of villagers hid in this desolate forest to escape disaster. Many of them were injured and nearly died, and the elderly, weak, women and children fell ill due to fright and hunger."
"When they were on the verge of death, a white fox appeared before them, bringing them food, water and herbs. Only then did the villagers realize that the place they had taken refuge in was a fox den."
"There are nearly a hundred foxes living there. Each fox is very intelligent. They have never seen humans before and are very friendly to them. The first generation of villagers survived by relying on the herbs and food they provided. They settled here and named the village Hundred Fox Village."
Staff member: "Legend has it that during the Republic of China era, the villagers of Baihu Village loved foxes dearly, and every household worshipped a fox god statue. When invaders came, most of the villagers in Baihu Village survived thanks to the protection of the fox god statues. Now, many years later, only one-tenth of the fox god statues remain, and there are no fox god statues left in Baihu Village."
Meng Xi's heart skipped a beat as she listened. Could it be that the fox statue that Baihu Village worshipped back then was taken away?
She looked confused. Why would the fox statue that Baihu Village cherished be in such a dilapidated temple?
The staff clapped their hands: "Of course, legends are just legends, let's still believe in science! Alright, we've arrived at Hundred Fox Village, we hope our guests have a pleasant stay!"
Nan Yuanman listened with great interest, curiously peering out the window. The bus was slowly coming to a stop on the playground of the elementary school in Baihu Village.
Many villagers stood around the playground watching the commotion.
Baihu Village is quite similar to Batang Village, with brick houses, tile houses, and a few dilapidated thatched huts scattered throughout.
The best building in the village is probably the primary school built by the Ancheng government.
The bus came to a stop, and the five groups of guests disembarked one after another.
Director Ge, holding a megaphone and wearing slippers, walked over and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. We have now arrived at Hundred Fox Village. We will be spending five wonderful days here. Before entering Hundred Fox Village, please open your suitcases and hand over any prohibited items."
"To prevent anyone from cheating during recording and affecting the living experience!"
The adults readily opened their suitcases and handed over their phones and wallets.
The children wailed when they saw the staff taking away the snacks they had painstakingly hidden.
Su Hu stopped calling himself "Brother Tiger" and shamelessly grabbed the staff member's leg, yelling, "Brother, can I call you brother? Leave me a bag of these potato chips! I hid them with great care!"
Even Lin Le'an's cool demeanor couldn't hold back any longer; he pursed his lips and gripped the game console tightly, refusing to let the staff take it away.
Meng Juanjuan obediently handed it in.
Jiang Xinxin also threw a tantrum, refusing to let the staff take the candy away.
Nan Yuanman turned her little head, looking left and right, and ran up to the staff member. As she squatted down with a smile, she pulled a handful of talismans from her bag and placed them in her hand, asking in a childish voice, "Sister, do you need to take these too?"
The staff member stared at the yellow talisman in his hand, his eyes widening instantly: "???"
