Chapter 152 Chapter 152 (Two in One) 9 hours later...
"This is a ceremony of blessing by the sea people."
Zan Fang got off the car after Jiang Mu Ning, and spoke as he looked at the group of people singing and dancing around him.
Jiang Mu Ning squinted her eyes to avoid the sea water, fearing that it would splash into her eyes. The old man muttered something and quickly moved downwards to splash the sea water onto her body.
With Jiang Muning and Zan Fang in front, the remaining four people in the car also gathered together and walked out of the car one after another.
The white-robed men who surrounded Jiang Mu Ning and Zan Fang kept singing, chanting, and fighting, and then they danced back a few steps to make room in front of the car.
Four people got off the car and were quickly integrated into the large dance group.
The white-robed people who surrounded the bus all gathered on the beach in front of the door. The music and singing were louder than before, as if the blessing ceremony had reached its climax.
The camera in the live broadcast room was shooting towards the vast sea and endless beach in the distance.
Under the scorching golden sun at noon, the fishing boats in the distance turned into a few black dots, huge seabirds flew over the sparkling sea, and the long skirts of the female guests flew up in the hot sea breeze.
[What kind of blessing ceremony is this? I have never seen it before.]
[After watching it many times, I don’t find it scary anymore. It seems quite interesting. Where was this episode filmed?]
[I’m starting to believe that this episode is a vacation. When has Heart Signal ever been so cheerful?]
[The last six-member group was so miserable, it’s time to relax for a while (cheers)]
[It’s so sunny, the sun is so strong, the villagers are wearing so many clothes and singing and dancing for so long, they are all elderly people, they may get heat stroke soon]
[That makes sense, let’s go inside quickly]
There were nearly twenty people in the dancing team, who surrounded the six people in the middle and danced in a circle.
The old woman in colorful clothes stood beside them, splashing sea water on them one by one, muttering something incomprehensible, but her wrinkled old eyes stared at everyone's face like an eagle.
Chen Ruihao felt a little scared by the old woman's gaze and moved closer to Pu Yueling and Bai Qingqing.
He leaned towards the two and whispered, "Are you really praying for blessings?"
Pu Yueling cried out, and looked at Bai Qingqing with blank and uncertain eyes.
What Taoist Master Zan said couldn’t be wrong, right?
She didn't sense any bad aura either. She didn't know if it was because of the atmosphere on the scene. As the villagers' lively voices became more intense, it seemed as if there was really a surge of energy around them.
This dance may have a real tradition and is not just a random dance.
Chen Rui looked at them all barefoot, and the beach was covered with pebbles and sand that were bigger than glass beads. It was so hot from the sun that he didn't know how hot it was. Bai Qingqing shouted "Wow" and then whispered to them about how amazing the villagers were.
Bai Qingqing didn't listen to the two people talking the whole time. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Muning, who was smiling and moving his arms and legs and body, trying to blend in with the villagers.
This blessing dance... there's really something about it.
Just a few seconds ago, Jiang Muning's aura actually stabilized.
"Sister Qing, what are you looking at?" Chen Rui talked for a long time without getting a response from Bai Qingqing. Then he realized that his sister didn't listen to him at all.
Bai Qingqing retracted her gaze: "I'm watching dancing. I've never seen it before. I'm curious."
Chen Rui was so excited to demonstrate: "I can see that they have five dance steps in total, like this, like this, and like this, they are not jumping around randomly!"
Chen Ruihao learned a passage on the spot.
He had been an idol when he first debuted and could dance. After watching him carefully for a while, I was able to figure out some patterns and learned about 70% of it on the spot.
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter, which made him pay attention to his idol image.
The atmosphere inside and outside is completely towards a state of vacation relaxation.
After the blessing dance, the villagers placed one hand on their hearts and bowed to the people around them. The six guests followed their example and quickly raised their hands and bowed to express their gratitude.
Wu Weiran appeared behind them without knowing when, thanked the old people, and then said:
"This is a blessing dance performed in the small fishing village of Nanqing. It blesses the villagers living by the sea to be blessed by the sea god, and also prays that the fishermen will be safe and have a good harvest when they go out to sea.
When a newlywed enters the fishing village, they sprinkle some seawater used to pay respect to the sea god on themselves, which means that the newlywed has seen the sea god and can now fish for fish and shrimp and drink water in Nanheng Village."
The staff brought over a big pink dice at the right time.
There are holes on all four sides of the dice, with colorful strings running through them.
Chen Rui understood immediately and whispered, "We have to divide into groups again."
Wu Weiran: "Congratulations to the six of you for starting our life in the small fishing village of Nanqing. This episode is a vacation. I'm sure you're all hungry after sitting in the car for a whole morning."
Jiang Muning, Chen Rui and Pu Yueling answered politely: "We are hungry!"
"This time we have prepared a group homestay for everyone. It's a three-story building with beautiful scenery. The refrigerator in the sea view kitchen is already stocked with rich ingredients - but!"
Wu Weiran paused with a smile and pointed to the dice next to him: "The ingredients are limited, first come first served, and many ingredients are only available in one portion."
"People who draw ropes of the same length will form a group. After the grouping is successful, each group will choose one person to draw a question, one person to solve the question, and find the location of the homestay on their own. Let's get started!"
[Ahahaha what kind of love variety show segment is this?]
[Ning Bao is looking at Zan Fang! What a visual feast it would be if these two were in the same group]
[You six can divide it up as you like, I will just kowtow by myself hhh]
After Wu Weiran finished speaking, he looked eagerly at the two ancestors, Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning, and made a gesture of invitation to them.
The two girls looked at each other. Jiang Muning smiled at Bai Qingqing and said in a friendly manner, "Maybe we will be drawn into the same group."
Bai Qingqing: ...
Don't be such a pessimist.
Because of the live camera, Bai Qingqing didn't bother to cause trouble and silently kept her feelings to herself.
He walked to the dice, grabbed one and started to pull it out.
Wu Weiran quickly asked her to wait, and after each of the six people had chosen one and held it in their hands, he gave an order for everyone to pull out the rope.
Bai Qingqing: ...It's really Jiang Mu Ning!
She glanced at Jiang Mu Ning silently, and Jiang Mu Ning smiled at her in surprise: "Qing Qing, I didn't expect that we are in the same group. What a coincidence."
Bai Qingqing sneered: "Yes, it's fate."
There were four people left. Zan Fang and Pu Yueling were drawn into one group, and Chen Ruihao and Bao Zishi were in the same group.
The last two whiteboards were paired together, Bao Zishi and Chen Ruihao looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.
Bao Zishi: "We might go hungry."
Chen Rui raised his hand and patted Bao Zishi's broad and strong shoulders: "It's okay, Teacher Bao. If there is no food to eat, I will do it myself! Teacher Bao, pick a question!"
Bao Zishi was amused by him and stepped forward to line up to draw a question.
Anyway, this episode is a vacation, and neither the director nor the other four partners will let them go without food.
Bao Zishi was in a good mood. He happily took out a piece of paper and got together with Chen Ruihao, two metaphysical illiterates. Without even reading the questions carefully, they pushed their suitcases and set off.
In the two groups of Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang, Jiang Muning and Pu Yueling came forward to draw questions. After drawing the questions, the four of them did not separate and went together towards the direction of the B&B.
The lively atmosphere among the four people was mainly due to Jiang Mu Ning and Pu Yue Ling, who chirped like two little birds.
Bai Qingqing walked behind, and as she was finding her way, she glanced at Jiang Mu Ning vaguely and tentatively sent her spiritual power over.
Zan Fang glanced at her.
The spiritual power that touched Jiang Mu Ning's back was withdrawn. Bai Qingqing narrowed her eyes. When she was prayed for just now, the thing on her body was obviously stable. Why did it move again now? It seemed that the aura was even stronger than before?
"Your cultivation..." When Bai Qingqing's spiritual power was withdrawn, her aura changed slightly. Zan Fang was stunned when he felt the bottomless spiritual power and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Bai Qingqing looked at Zan Fang in confusion.
"...I haven't seen you for a while, and you have improved a lot." Zan Fang said the second half of the sentence.
The sound of the suitcase's wheels drowned out the two people's whispered conversation.
Jiang Muning glanced behind him inconspicuously, and heard the voice in his mind:
〖Intrusion information is detected, and the basic function panel is opened.〗
〖System upgrade has been accelerated. The remaining loading time for your upgraded system is...9 hours and 13 minutes.〗
"There's a wooden statue over there! Is it the god of this place?" Jiang Muning curled the corners of his lips and pointed at the life-size statue in the woods in the distance.
"It should be. Should we go and worship it?" The statue had an ancient atmosphere. Pu Yueling exclaimed, feeling a very comfortable natural atmosphere, and unconsciously moved closer to it.
She always felt that her psychic constitution became more sensitive here.
Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang stopped behind them. Bai Qingqing said, "I'm going to go in that direction starting from this forest."
"Well, there should be some props tips in the middle." Zan Fang nodded.
There is only one homestay, which will be split in the middle, with only game sessions on different routes.
Zan Fang has always respected the settings of variety shows and has not calculated what is ahead in advance.
Bai Qingqing smiled and called to the two people who were worshipping the statue in the distance: "Yueling, our group is going to take another route. See you later."
Jiang Muning was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that they would separate halfway. Bai Qingqing was clearly in the same group with her, but she skipped her and called out Pu Yueling. She really didn't care about her appearance at all.
Just make her happy.
The system has been upgraded for a few days, and its functions must be much more powerful than before. Let's see how happy she can be after nine hours.
Jiang Mu Ning had a small smile on his lips. He looked at the remaining time for the system upgrade in his mind, and hugged Pu Yueling without any clues on his face: "Baby, see you later. I will save some delicious food for you when I get there."
Pu Yueling snorted: "Don't talk too early, maybe we will be here first."
The two teams separated with laughter, and the live broadcast room followed the laughter and then reacted:
[If there are links along the way, wouldn’t Chen Haohao and Teacher Bao be…]
[It doesn’t matter. Looking at Sister Qing’s smile just now, it may not be a good thing.]
[It’s a holiday special, it’s okay to skip levels, right? Haha]
Jiang Muning and Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "Qingqing, it all depends on you from now on. Let's go."
Bai Qingqing stared at her and slowly smiled: "Okay, I'll help you find the way and you'll cook."
…
More than twenty minutes later.
Zan Fang and Pu Yueling looked at Jiang Muning who was cooking in the kitchen through the ten-meter-long window of the sea view kitchen.
Bai Qingqing was lying on a bamboo rocking chair behind the kitchen, rocking back and forth, holding an apple in her hand and taking a big bite of it, while watching Jiang Mu Ning cooking.
Zan Fang and Pu Yueling entered the B&B, and the cool breeze blowing on their faces made them both breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Qingqing called out to everyone, "There are peaches on the table, freshly washed, would you like some?"
"Eat!" Pu Yueling put down her luggage and saw the peaches on the table with water droplets hanging on them. She shouted happily and ran to wash her hands. "I was so thirsty on the way. The director is so incompetent that he dropped us off so far away in the middle of the day."
Bai Qingqing narrowed her eyes and smiled: "There are six more rooms upstairs, all of which are single rooms. There are no names written on them and no task cards. I guess it's first come first served. You and Zan Fang can go upstairs and take a look first."
Pu Yueling hesitated and looked towards the refrigerator.
"It's okay. Mu Ning is cooking the meal. We'll eat together then. Choosing a room is the most important thing." Bai Qingqing took a bite of the bright red apple and rocked the chair with her crossed legs.
Jiang Muning paused while washing the vegetables, gritted his teeth secretly, kept a smile on his face, and turned around: "Yes, you guys go and pick a room, I'll take care of lunch."
Pu Yueling put down the peach and said, "Okay, then the Taoist priest and I will go upstairs to put down our luggage and then come to cook with you! Taoist priest Zan, we will be back soon!"
Zan Fang was patted by her and hesitated for a moment, then picked up his and Pu Yueling's suitcases in one hand each and went up to the third floor.
In the kitchen on the first floor, Bai Qingqing smiled at Jiang Mu Ning and urged her with her eyes to hurry up and continue cooking.
This episode is set in a small fishing village by the sea, and the ingredients prepared by the director team are mostly local specialty seafood. The ingredients have been processed in advance and the mud and sand have been spit out, making them easy and quick to cook.
Jiang Muning occasionally cooks at home and his cooking skills are pretty good. With the help of Pu Yueling and Zan Fang, he can prepare three dishes in no time.
The third group finally arrived.
Chen Ruihao and Bao Zishi appeared in front of the three-story building. They smelled the spicy and fragrant aroma inside and took a deep breath.
Bao Zishi: "I think we are out of food."
Chen Ruihao: "Teacher Bao, have you forgotten what I said before I left?"
Bao Zishi glanced at him, and Chen Rui walked in with a big smile. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Bai Qingqing sitting in a rocking chair with her legs crossed and rocking.
Chen Rui approached quietly, squatted beside Bai Qingqing and squeezed her arm: "Sister Qing! You must be exhausted after all this journey! Is there anything I can do for you?"
Bao Zishi then came in, greeted everyone busy in the kitchen, and then went to look in the refrigerator.
Sure enough, it was empty.
All the dishes were ready, the only things that hadn't been touched were the two fish in the pond.
Bao Zishi rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands at the sink, then asked everyone, "We are late, is there anything we can help you with?"
Pu Yueling immediately greeted him: "It's not too late, we have enough people to cook, can you please scald the dishes for us, Mr. Bao?"
Baozishi responded and immediately counted out a pile of bowls and cutlery from the cupboard above his head. He started looking for a kettle to boil water to prepare the cutlery, while asking them what they were going to do with the two fish.
He runs a chain of hotpot restaurants as a side business and his cooking skills are pretty good.
When everyone heard this, they immediately started discussing excitedly how to cook the two fish.
The four-person cooking team is having fun in front of the stove in the sea view kitchen.
The camera turned to the living room behind the kitchen, and Bai Qingqing's two dangling legs came into view.
Some fans couldn't sit still, so they opened two devices and ran to Bai Qingqing's live broadcast room. Sure enough, they saw Bai Qingqing lying on the rocking chair.
Chen Ruihao was still massaging her shoulders!
Why did she have to work so hard to be treated like this?
[Everyone is busy, is Bai Qingqing planning to be a hands-off boss from beginning to end?]
[You really think you are an important person, just waiting to be served]
[Ning Mei is the daughter of a rich family. She was spoiled by her father, a CEO, and her mother, a movie queen. After coming here, she has cooked three dishes (tears)]
[I also want to eat the dishes made by Ning Mei (gluttonous)]
[Come on, Sister Qing wasn’t in the last episode of Evil God, so let’s just count the number of people here, they’re all dead, okay?]
[Yeah, I should repay you.]
[Someone actually believes in the script (laughing and crying)]
[We agreed on the way that Sister Qing would lead the way and Jiang Mu Ning would cook. Jiang Mu Ning has no objection, so why are you guys barking?]
[Oh my god, why do people always come to my house to quarrel? I wonder if this live broadcast room is for one person only? If you don’t believe our God, get out!]
Several live broadcast rooms were about to start a quarrel. Bai Qingqing seemed to be able to see the comments in the live broadcast rooms. With the help of Chen Goutui, she wiped her hand that had taken the apple with a wet tissue, stretched, and stood up.
She walked towards the people in the kitchen.
Jiang Mu Ning thought she couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to help, so he smiled and said in a very friendly manner: "Qingqing, there is a lot of smoke here, you should go back and have a rest. You can eat in a while."
After Bai Qingqing wiped her hands, she still felt a little uncomfortable, so she went to the sink to wash them. After hearing what Jiang Mu Ning said, she looked at the huge long table that could accommodate the six of them, and said, "Okay, can we serve these dishes?"
Jiang Muning smiled and nodded.
Bai Qingqing turned around and called Chen Ruihao, "Chen Haohao, wipe the table and serve the dishes."
"Come on!"
The director crew had cleaned the homestay before they arrived. Chen Rui quickly wiped the table and served the dishes one by one. Bao Zishi heard that the two fish were to be kept for dinner, so there was nothing else to do and he brought everyone's cutlery and dishes to the table.
Bai Qingqing lent a hand when Bao Zishi came over with the bowl, and divided the tableware according to the seats, saying, "There are two empty rooms upstairs. Teacher Bao can go and take a look later. After dinner, go to bed early."
Baozi Shifen's hand holding the chopsticks was stunned.
Sister Qing is not usually the kind of person who takes such good care of other people’s details in life… The last time she said this was…
Bao Zishi subconsciously felt a little depressed.
Chen Ruihao squeezed in and said excitedly, "There are two more rooms? Sister Qing, are they all single rooms this time? How are the rooms? Are they normal? Are they proper rooms?"
"Serious." Bai Qingqing's expression was half-smiley: "Looking at the decoration style of this B&B, can't you tell whether it's serious or not?"
Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief and happily ran to serve the dishes.
The live broadcast room was full of laughter.
[What is a proper room? What does an improper one look like?]
[I don’t know. I’m a serious person and I’ve never seen what an indecent room looks like.]
[Sister Qing said nothing in vain. She asked Teacher Bao to rest early. Are there any other activities?]
Pu Yueling took out Coke and iced freshly squeezed orange juice from the refrigerator, grabbed two bottles in one hand, and happily brought them to the table: "There's also iced beer in the refrigerator, who wants some?"
Chen Rui exclaimed, put down his food at the table, raised his hand and cheered: "Cold beer! Small seafood must be paired with beer, I'll go wash the cup!"
Jiang Mu Ning hesitated a little: "We are still filming, why don't we save it for the evening?"
They had already prepared most of the dishes at noon, and who knew if there would be any food to eat in the evening. Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao looked at each other with reluctance in their eyes.
The two of them ran to the other side of the house and asked Wu Weiran across the long hall: "Director, are there any activities this afternoon?"
Wu Weiran is looking at the feedback from six live broadcast rooms.
Hearing this, he looked up and smiled: "There is a small event in the evening, you can drink it at noon, and then you can take a rest in the afternoon."
Pu Yueling responded and ran back to the kitchen.
Chen Ruihao stayed where he was, with a vigilant look in his eyes, and asked again: "What little activity?"
"I'll take you around the small fishing village. You can't just stay in the B&B all the time. You have to learn about the history, culture, legends and other stories of the small fishing village, right?"
Chen Rui thought it made sense, nodded, and ran back, announcing to everyone, "We don't have any plans to drink in the afternoon, the director said we can take a nap after dinner, and then go out to visit the fishing village in the evening."
Bao Zishi brought the beer to the table, opened a bottle, and said with a hearty smile, "Okay."
Six people gathered here to eat, and their follow PD stood guard beside them.
In the homestay, the director team also placed lunch boxes on the half that was not captured in the camera, and gathered in front of the window on the other side to eat.
From time to time, I would glance at the six of them. The atmosphere was so relaxed that everyone almost forgot that there was a camera filming.
Although the six people have not known each other for long, they have experienced four episodes together, each one more thrilling than the last. In this modern society with a prosperous country, a strong people, and peace and stability, they have unexpectedly developed a life-long friendship.
It's a rare opportunity to relax and have a beer to accompany you.
After everyone at the table poured themselves a glass of wine, Bao Zishi was the first to pick up his glass and toast Bai Qingqing.
In the first episode, everyone was still unfamiliar with each other, and he thought Bai Qingqing was just a rich second-generation whose family paid money to get into the show. Who knew that she actually saved his life that night.
If Bai Qingqing hadn't been right next to him at that time, he would have been frightened to death by the female ghost of the Shen family. How could he be alive today?
Later in Baotong, in that period alone, his life was saved several times.
Bao Zishi toasted to express his gratitude. Chen Ruihao and Pu Yueling, who were standing nearby, saw this and the two children immediately picked up their beer and coconut juice, both raised their glasses to Bai Qingqing, calling her "Sister Qing" all the time with a respectful attitude.
Chen Ruihao: "If it weren't for Sister Qing, I would have died long ago. Sister Qing, you will always be my sister!"
"Let's go give one to our sister!" Pu Yueling clinked glasses with Bai Qingqing generously and spoke in a gangster-like tone, making everyone at the table laugh.
The atmosphere was set at this point, and Zan Fang also toasted Bai Qingqing.
Jiang Mu Ning even spoke a long and touching speech, which made the fans in the live broadcast room's eyes warm.
[If I play the memory slice in the main film, I will cry (tears)]
[We have come so far together without realizing it. I hope the six of us can continue to film the third season together.]
[The atmosphere was so good that I thought it was the last episode. I mean, it’s too early to say thank you. What’s the point of filming the next episode?]
[Ning Bao is so good at talking. I've already cried. It's nice to just chat like this. It's nice to watch without being weird every day.]
[What are you thinking about? The director said there will be a program tonight, it must be a supernatural task]
Ten o'clock at night.
The lights on the roads in the small fishing village were completely extinguished, and the area around the B&B had been shrouded in darkness at some point.
When Chen Ruihao suddenly opened his eyes from the bed with his messy hair, he saw the pitch-black sky and was startled. He quickly looked at the time - it was ten o'clock.
The director said he would go around the fishing village at night. Did he miss it or...
The distant sound of waves lapping could be heard in his ears, and the salty sea breeze seeped into the small single bedroom through the window gap, clearing Chen Rui's mind a lot and preparing to get out of bed.
Before my feet found their slippers.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
There were three knocks on his door, with some overlapping echoes.
Could it be that he overslept and didn't hear the director calling anyone, but everyone was just getting ready to go out now?
But he was suddenly awakened in the middle of his sleep. Even if the director came to call him, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Wu Weiran has been staring at the camera in his room?
Chen Ruihao glanced at the camera with a red light on, and the word "pervert" came out of his eyes. When the door was knocked with emphasis for the second time, he quickly responded with "coming", and ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened a crack, a pure white envelope suddenly appeared in front of him, and a strange male voice came from outside the door.
"Please open it."
The person outside was holding the door, so Chen Rui couldn't open it. He had to take the letter that was already in front of him through the door.
The pure white envelope was sealed with glue. Chen Ruihao tore off the top white edge and saw a bright red corner of the envelope...
Wedding invitation.
Late in the night, wedding invitation?
