Faced with the menacing Captain Geng and the uniformed police officers he brought, Chu Shumin was so frightened that she quickly hid behind the wall, curiously craning her neck to look at Captain Geng and his men.
Although Chu Shumin had met Captain Geng before, this was the first time she had seen him in his work mode. Seeing Captain Geng exuding righteousness, Chu Shumin subconsciously felt a tremor in her heart.
Madam Chu patted Chu Shumin's shoulder to comfort her, "You stay home alone. Your mother and father are going to the police station!"
Although Madam Chu did not agree with Uncle Chu letting the police take her son away.
However, since she couldn't go against Uncle Chu's wishes, she could only watch as the police took her son away.
Terrified, Chu Shumin screamed, "No, no, no! I want my mom! Mom, stay home with me!"
Madam Chu's face immediately darkened, and she growled fiercely, "Listen to me!"
Chu Shumin's hand, which was gripping that of Madam Chu the Second, trembled slightly. She looked at Madam Chu the Second with fear and grievance, "Mother..."
"Be good! Otherwise, Mommy won't like you anymore!"
Chu Shumin looked aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. "Mommy, please don't dislike Minmin!"
"Then you stay home obediently, Mom will be back soon!"
With that, Madam Chu ripped Chu Shumin's hands off and turned to leave.
Chu Shumin followed Madam Chu to the front gate, her small hands gripping the door frame, her aggrieved expression gradually turning into resentment.
At this moment, Uncle Chu and his wife were unaware that their daughter had already taken a grudge against them.
Meanwhile, in Wushan Village, far away where the program was being recorded...
Upon seeing a brand-new, large house, Chu Yifan asked Village Chief Du with some curiosity, "Village Chief Du, is that the house over there?"
Village Chief Du looked in the direction Chu Yifan pointed, then shook his head with a smile, "No, that's the village's ancestral hall!"
Ancestral hall?
"This ancestral hall looks quite new!"
"yes!"
Everyone was quite surprised to see the ancestral hall with its brand-new white walls and black tiles.
As everyone walked along, they could see that many of the houses in the village were quite old. However, this ancestral hall was very new, as if it had just been built. However, the peeling paint on the door made everyone realize that it had probably only been renovated on the outside.
They could all see that the entire village attached great importance to this ancestral hall.
Otherwise, why would they prefer to renovate this ancestral hall instead of properly renovating their own house?
"I never expected the villagers to value the ancestral hall so much!"
"Yes, in our mountain village, we have a lot of respect for ancestral halls!"
"To be honest, I've hardly ever seen those ancestral halls, so I don't know what they look like!"
"Yes, Village Chief Du, why don't you tell us about it?"
Luo Huan and the others glanced curiously at the ancestral hall, then looked expectantly at Village Chief Du.
Village Chief Du looked embarrassed. "I've only been in the village for a short time, and I've never actually been to this ancestral hall before!"
Only the old village chief has the key to the large lock on the ancestral hall gate; no one else does, not even the trusted village chief.
Although he is the village head of Wushan Village, he was sent to the village as part of a national policy to help alleviate poverty. However, because he is an outsider, he is resistant to the villagers. The ancestral hall is the most objectionable part of this; he cannot even enter it during festivals.
Chu Yilin and the others understood. Although they were not villagers here, they knew very well that many ethnic minorities or some remote villages were quite xenophobic, and even if they got married or something, they could not fully integrate.
The village chief is an outsider and has not yet been accepted, so it's not surprising that he can't enter the ancestral hall.
"Well, I didn't expect even the village chief wouldn't do it!"
"We were hoping to see it, but it seems we won't have a chance to go in this time!"
Everyone felt a little regretful. If even the newly appointed village chief wasn't qualified to go in, then they, as outsiders, were even less qualified!
Should we not go near this ancestral hall?
Tang Bao was very curious when she heard what the village chief said. She blinked her big, grape-like eyes at the closed gate of the ancestral hall and couldn't help but think of the villagers she had just met but whose faces she couldn't make out.
Village Chief Du smiled awkwardly and explained to everyone, "The ancestral hall is usually closed. It can only be opened on the first and fifteenth of each month, or during festivals like the Lunar New Year!"
"It seems this custom is similar to burning incense and praying to Buddha outside!"
Director Sheng, who was also not immune to such things as a director, laughed after hearing Village Chief Du's explanation.
Village Chief Du smiled and said warmly to everyone, "These are unique customs of each village. I'll show you more about them another time! Let me take you to your accommodations first!"
"OK!"
"Thank you very much, Village Chief Du!"
No one made things difficult for Village Chief Du, and they smiled and agreed to go with him to his lodgings.
Tang Bao, Lin Qinghua, and the little monk Huiyuan huddled together.
Lin Qinghua immediately voiced his doubts, "Have you noticed anything strange about this ancestral hall?"
The young monk Huiyuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, I see it. It looks like there's an array or barrier!"
Tang Bao gave Lin Qinghua and the young monk Huiyuan an approving look and patted them on the shoulder, "Well, you two are very good, and your eyesight is getting better and better!"
Upon receiving Tang Bao's praise, Lin Qinghua and the little monk Huiyuan were immediately delighted, tacitly scratching their heads, feeling somewhat flattered.
Lin Qinghua asked Tang Bao with great curiosity, "Then, Junior Uncle, did you see anything?"
Tang Bao puffed out her chest confidently, "Of course! But these things can't be explained in a short time, and now is not the time to talk about them. I'll tell you when we get back!"
"OK!"
Lin Qinghua and the young monk Huiyuan glanced understandingly at the cameraman filming them, then at the ancestral hall. In any case, there was no danger, and there was no rush.
Although the live stream didn't capture many shots of Tang Bao and the other two little ones' faces, viewers watching the live stream were still very curious about the ancestral hall.
I also come from the mountains, and my village has an ancestral hall, but it's not as mysterious as Wushan Village!
Yes, there are some ancestral halls in the city center, but their doors are always open!
[Therefore, there must be something wrong with this ancestral hall! Sister Tangbao is definitely going to take revenge! Hehehe...]
[They're being so secretive, they must be doing something bad inside!]
[Tang Bao said this village is strange, and the ancestral hall is so mysterious, there must be danger! I wonder if we can check what's inside!]
