Chapter 20: Is it really useful?
After the five groups of guests arrived and received their ingredients, the next step was cooking.
When the other guests learned that the Lan brothers and sisters were going to the village party secretary's house for lunch, they were envious but didn't say anything.
Jiang Xia and Pei Sheng feel that only if everyone interacts more together can there be more highlights, and there will be more shots in the simplified version after the live broadcast of the variety show.
For example, Lan Xingyu and his sister left the group not long after the variety show started recording. When it comes to the simplified version of the variety show, it is estimated that they will have very few opportunities to appear!
However, they don't know that among the five groups of guests' live broadcast rooms, the one with the largest number of netizens is the actor Lu Sichen.
The second place is not Su Xiangxue, the best actress who is deeply loved by the audience.
Instead, it was the new popular male idol Lan Xingyu and his sister!
After lunch, the little girl should go to the old house halfway up the mountain, right?
It's lunchtime, and the other guests are still busy trying to get a bite to eat.
[Luckily, all the guests brought their parents. Jiang's mother and Su's father clearly cook frequently.]
[Poor Pei Sheng and Lu Yingdi, one is filial to his uncle, and the other's grandfather is too old, so they have to go into the kitchen by themselves.]
Lan Xingyu is still having a good time. From yesterday noon to today noon, he didn't do any work, didn't worry about anything, just ate and drank.
[However, Lan Xingyu's good days are coming to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be staying in the haunted house tonight~]
[It's okay, the little girl is here, the younger sister will protect her brother, haha~]
…
At noon, the village party secretary's wife once again prepared a large table of dishes.
Lan Xingyu had just finished eating when he heard his sister say, "Sister Wang, you don't have to cook for my brother and me tonight. We're staying in the mountains and we'll prepare our own meals."
At this time, in the control room of the live variety show, the director felt relieved when he heard the little girl say this.
Otherwise, if Lan Xingyu and his sister had their meals provided by the villagers, the original purpose of the variety show, which was to let the guests be self-reliant, would not be achieved!
After hearing what the little girl said, some netizens were worried about what the brother and sister would eat and drink in the future.
Some people think that it is good that the girl does not seek repayment for favors and does not eat and drink for free at the village party secretary's house.
After lunch, it was finally time for netizens to go up the mountain to see the old house, which was the part they were most looking forward to.
Mrs. Wang packed a large pot of food and prepared to send it to the villagers working in the mountains.
As a man, Lan Xingyu was the first to say that he would take the blame.
Lan Xi wanted to help carry the basket of dishes, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang.
"Little girl, you have such thin arms and legs, you should take a rest. It's so hard to climb up the mountain!"
"Also, these bowls and chopsticks may not look like much, but they're all made of ceramic. Together they weigh over 20 kilograms. Don't worry, you'll get tired out."
So when they went up the mountain, there were three of them, but only Lan Xi came empty-handed.
But this situation did not last long.
Just like what Mrs. Wang said, it’s hard to climb the mountain.
So Lan Xingyu, who was carrying a big pot of rice, had already felt his arms were numb and he was out of breath after walking along the mountain road for more than ten minutes.
Netizens were quite surprised to see this.
Lan Xingyu is 183cm tall and works out regularly, so why can't he lift something heavy?
Who says people who work out are stronger? We build muscle, not strength!
"What do you mean you can't even lift something heavy? That food, including the soup and the pot, weighs at least 20 to 30 pounds. If you're capable, why don't you try carrying it up the mountain?"
[Let alone Lan Xingyu, isn't the village party secretary's wife also sweating profusely from exhaustion?]
…
While netizens were arguing about this matter, Lan Xi stepped forward and easily took the rice pot from his brother's hands.
Then he turned and went up the mountain with light steps.
"Let's walk faster. The people on the mountain must be hungry by now."
My brother walked slowly and Mrs. Wang didn't speed up, but Lan Xi couldn't wait any longer.
She wanted to get to the old house on the mountain as soon as possible.
Netizens were surprised!
[Does the little girl have such great strength? ]
Seeing her carrying a large pot of rice and walking up the mountain path effortlessly, Lan Xingyu was truly outshone!
[It's embarrassing that my Xingxing can't compare to a girl, but it's okay that she can't compare to her own sister~! ]
[That's right, we're all family, no need to compare! ]
…
Half an hour later, Lan Xi, the other two, and the cameraman finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
At this time, the village party secretary had already led people to clear all the weeds in the yard.
The other rooms were also roughly tidied.
Before, Lan Xi was at the foot of the mountain and could only vaguely see the green glazed tiles of the houses on the mountain.
Now that she was closer, the original appearance of the old house appeared before her.
The house has been uninhabited for decades, but the gate is still vermilion.
The four-entry courtyard is divided into a front yard and a back yard, and looks quite spacious.
There are also rooms for maids and servants, as well as a storeroom for storing things.
Lan Xi chose a room in the front yard, and Lan Xingyu's room was next to hers.
Netizens looked at the old house under the live camera. It was not as eerie and scary as they had imagined. There was only a sense of loneliness in the deep courtyard.
However, when Lan Xi passed by the backyard, he felt a strong yin energy!
The village party secretary had said before that this place was rumored to be haunted at night, and it seems that this rumor is not groundless.
Lan Xi was just thinking when suddenly a cool breeze blew through the yard, carrying away pieces of dry and yellow fallen leaves.
The originally bright sunshine was blocked by the clouds in the sky at some point, and the sky quickly changed from sunny to cloudy!
Seeing this, the villagers in the yard looked a little panicked.
Lan Xingyu shivered in the cool breeze and muttered, "I was sweating just now, how come I'm so cold all of a sudden?"
The sudden change in weather made the cameraman who was following the scene feel uneasy.
His hand shook, and the live broadcast screen of netizens also shook.
Coupled with the abnormal weather changes, there is really a sense of terror!
【What's going on? Why did the weather suddenly change? 】
[The sky is overcast right now! If it weren't broad daylight, I'd really think there was a ghost!]
[Scary! Luckily, I only watched the live broadcast and didn't experience it myself.]
I just went to the other guest's livestream room and saw that the sun was still shining brightly below the mountain, but it was overcast up there!
[This mountain is right next to the village, right? How could it be sunny on one side and cloudy on the other in the same area?]
[It's obvious that there's something wrong with the little girl's house! ]
【??? Is this going to be a ghost?】
[Fuck! I'm scared...]
…
Compared to the nervous emotions of several villagers in the yard, Lan Xi just frowned slightly.
She lifted her legs and strode towards the backyard.
She originally wanted to deal with the negative energy in the backyard at night.
But now, that thing is about to show up, and I have to get it as soon as possible!
Beside Lan Xi, Lan Xingyu saw his sister taking action and he subconsciously followed her.
The villagers didn't dare to move around, but gathered together with uncertain expressions.
Fortunately, the cameraman kept his job responsibilities in mind and kept up with the guests he was responsible for.
So netizens watched as the Lan siblings walked to the backyard of the old house, and watched as the little girl walked towards the deep well on one side of the yard with a clear goal.
As she got closer, the cold wind in the backyard blew even stronger!
The whistling sound of the wind and the shaking of the camera allowed netizens in the live broadcast room to clearly feel the strength of the wind!
The cameraman who was responsible for following the filming even felt that he could not carry the camera anymore.
Suddenly, the wind stopped instantly!
I saw the little girl holding a stack of yellow talismans in her hand, and was walking around the well, sticking them one by one in a circle.
What’s strange is that the strong wind didn’t blow the paper talisman away?
Netizen:?!
[This can't be a coincidence, right? So, does the talisman paper really have a use?!]
