Chapter 161 Farmhouse
In fact, Ding Ling was not alone in her surprise. When Du Tang learned that the filming would be held in the hometown where Lu Yao grew up, he was no less surprised than Ding Ling.
In addition to being surprised, Du Tang was also extremely looking forward to it.
As a variety show director, his keen sense made him immediately realize that this stop in Lu Yao's hometown would be a major highlight of this travel variety show.
After all, when you search for Lu Yao online now, apart from his countless beautiful photos, what you can never avoid is Lu Yao's rather mysterious past.
His parents who never appeared, the numerous scars on his body, years of martial arts training, being a professional chess player, his outstanding achievements, and the reason why he suddenly joined the fifth generation... These are all questions that fans are curious about but have never been answered.
As long as these questions are not answered, they will remain in our minds and be brought up frequently. As a result, more and more questions will accumulate, and curiosity will grow.
And now, it's time for him to reveal the answer!
Du Tang got off the car exhausted. All his ambitions were defeated by the fatigue of the journey.
"Village chief!" As soon as Ding Ling got off the car, she saw a familiar old man standing not far away.
The old man saw the two stopped buses and walked over slowly.
Ding Ling went to meet him.
The two met halfway and started to exchange pleasantries.
"You must be tired after sitting in the car for a long time."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Dinner has been prepared for you, let's go and eat."
"Thank you so much. It's really troublesome."
"You're welcome. It's no trouble. We're all friends."
After finishing speaking, the program crew put the equipment in the car, and everyone followed the village chief and walked into the village.
Lu Yao walked beside the village chief and led the way.
Everyone followed behind and couldn't help but look around.
Just now when they were sitting in the car, they had already started looking around.
As they drove along, the surrounding environment changed from the city to the suburbs, and then went forward and came to this small village surrounded by mountains.
They came here through a long and narrow tunnel, and after entering, it was like another world.
Not far away are continuous mountains, at the foot of the mountains are groups of villages and large fields, and a small river runs through the village. Looking around, it is a leisurely and pleasant pastoral scenery.
So beautiful.
Du Tang was already quickly thinking about what he could shoot.
During the preliminary meeting, Lu Yao had proposed some projects that could be filmed. At that time, Du Tang had no impression of this place, so he temporarily made plans for those projects. Now that he was at the site, he began to conceive them one by one.
This time it is still a two-day and one-night trip. The difference from the previous stops is that since this stop is in the countryside, no guests were invited, only the members themselves.
So there is nothing wrong with being casual in setting up the project.
In this case, we cannot miss such a rare opportunity.
Look at this vast rice field!
Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned!
Then why not have a hearty rice harvesting activity!
Du Tang looked closely and found that there were splashes of water in the rice fields and fish were swimming around with their tails swinging.
Then let’s have another thrilling fishing activity!
Du Tang thought as he walked, and by the time they arrived at their destination, he already had a series of activities that could be photographed in his mind.
However, these activities are just appetizers, and the real climax is the protagonist of this site.
Du Tang looked at Lu Yao who was standing and talking with the village chief, and he became unprecedentedly expectant.

After a day of running around, everyone was very tired. After eating authentic farm dishes, everyone was led by the village chief to a three-story building in the village and slept tightly together on the large bunk bed inside.
Although the accommodation conditions are average, the program crew shoots in various places all year round. Such an environment is not uncommon and they have long been accustomed to it.
The members were still at the age where they were excited about sleeping in large dormitories, so they happily moved in.
Just when everyone was about to go to bed, they discovered that Lu Yao was not going to sleep here.
Ding Ling was surprised for a moment, then quickly accepted it.
After all, she was back home, so she naturally didn't want to squeeze into the big bunk bed with them.
So Lu Yao left alone.
Neither Wei Gu nor Xin Yi followed.
After a night's rest, the staff of the program crew got up before dawn the next day.
After dinner yesterday, they had already communicated with the villagers about what they were going to shoot today. Now they just need to make preparations according to the results of yesterday's communication.
After a busy day, it was already bright outside. The members began to put on makeup happily, ran up and down the small building, and went to the yard to look at the rice fields and mountains in the distance. They were very energetic.
Even though Du Tang had seen the members excited for half a month, he was still impressed by their energy when he watched them again.
You traveled all day yesterday, slept so late last night, and got up so early today. Aren’t you tired?
If Du Tang asked this question in person, he would only get one answer: Not tired! Not tired at all!
It has been half a month since they got the jade pendant, and now it is time to get excited. They are eager to explore the unknown world and are racing against time every day. How can they be tired?
Cang Zizhen now has the style of Lu Yao. When the staff get up and get busy, he wakes up and gets up very quickly.
Bai You and Yin Hongxue heard the noise and stood up as well. The three of them went out quietly to wash up, and then gathered together excitedly holding the jade pendants.
The staff passing by saw them and couldn't understand what they were doing. They could only sigh that young people are full of energy.
Then in the blink of an eye, Qiu Yuge and Zhu Xiangming also hurried downstairs and joined the team of the other three.
The five of them gathered together, so Xin Yi and Wei Gu naturally wouldn't miss it.
However, Wei Gu knew why they were gathered together, so he stayed away from them and did not get close. After seeing Xin Yi trying to go over, he was very considerate and blocked Xin Yi's steps.
Xin Yi glanced at Wei Gu without saying anything, but she didn't get any closer either. She just looked at the members standing together not far away from her.
So, seven people stood together in the dim light of the early morning, five of them busy with something, and two of them standing in the distance observing. The staff passing by were not surprised, but just sighed in their hearts, "These members have such a good relationship. They are obviously together every day and get up so early to play together," and then left.
However, the members who were being observed were not busy as expected. Instead, they were touching the jade pendants hanging around their necks and silently making the gestures that Lu Yao taught them, trying to display the legendary supernatural powers.
According to Wei Gu and Lu Yao, in this Dharma-Ending Age, even if they already have a medium, it will take a long time before they can truly master their supernatural powers, and they need more practice.
The best time to practice is at dawn every day.
So getting up early has become a tacit understanding between them.
It’s just a pity that today’s practice didn’t produce any results before Ding Ling urged them to put on makeup.
So everyone parted with regret, went to put on makeup, had breakfast, and ended today's practice.
When the preparations were about to be completed and the shooting was about to begin, Lu Yao quietly appeared outside the small building.
Wearing simple and clean clothes, without any makeup, she appeared in front of everyone in the morning light.
The cameraman, who had just adjusted the equipment, immediately pointed the camera at Lu Yao.
I was in a trance for a moment.
He had been looking at this face in front of the camera for nearly half a month, but he was still often amazed by it, and the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.
And now, Lu Yao, who has returned to his hometown, has shown a temperament that is completely different from usual.
"You're here!" Du Tang raised his eyes and saw Lu Yao appearing outside the building. He quickly called out, "Hurry up, go put on your makeup!"
Du Tang urged Lu Yao to leave, and the cameraman came back to his senses only after the person completely disappeared from the camera.
It hasn't been filmed yet, so he doesn't need to film.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the footage he had just shot. Such a clip without composition and makeup probably could not appear in the show.
But this is such a pity.

Lu Yao has always been quick at putting on makeup. Even after more than half a month of filming, his makeup time was compressed to a terrifyingly short time.
After all, under the observation of makeup artists and cameramen, in such travel programs, Lu Yao looks better the simpler he looks.
It's so plain, is there any room for Lu Yao to play with his face?
there is none left!
So the makeup artist simply did Lu Yao's hair, and after he changed his clothes, Lu Yao's makeup was completed.
Today's shooting officially began.
Cut rice, catch fish, collect vegetables... feel the joy of harvest, and use the fruits of your labor to make your own lunch.
The young men worked in front of the camera with clumsy movements, with big drops of sweat streaming down their foreheads. Their bodies were covered with wounds scratched by branches, and their faces were covered with dirt from wiping the sweat.
The clothes are dirty, the hair is messy, and the makeup is smudged.
But no one complained about being tired, and everyone had a smile of pure joy on their face.
Away from the hustle and bustle and convenience of the city, humans can feel the purest happiness by returning to nature.
At lunch, even if some of the food I cooked was mushy, too salty, or too dry, the rice I harvested with my own hands, the vegetables I picked with my own hands, and the fish I touched with my own hands still tasted especially good in my mouth.
The camera recorded all of this faithfully. Du Tang stood behind and watched, and felt that what he had thought was just a transitional farm life for half a day might be unexpectedly good.
After Du Tang briefly recorded his thoughts at the moment, the filming came to an end. The members went back to do their makeup and the staff finally stopped working to eat and rest.
After the hottest two hours of the day passed and it was afternoon, the highlight of this trip finally arrived at the shooting stage.
I opened the travel guide and saw only two words written on it: Lu Yao.
The afternoon shooting started again, but this time there was a subtle atmosphere among the crowd.
Ding Ling suppressed her curiosity, Wei Gu's face was full of anticipation, and Xin Yi showed nothing on the surface, but her usually steady pace could not hide the haste at this moment.
The members had already started making all kinds of speculations right in front of Lu Yao.
Before coming here, Lu Yao introduced this site as follows:
A secluded mountain village.
and the mountains where he grew up.
Now that he had seen and experienced the secluded mountain village, the only thing left was the mountain where Lu Yao grew up.
According to some fragments Lu Yao had said before, he had been practicing martial arts since he was young and grew up in the mountains with his master. So how did they live? How did they practice martial arts?
How was your stay? How was your food? How was your entertainment?
There are so many places that are curious.
And the most important point.
The members didn’t know it before, but now they do.
The Yu clan is a nation that has completely preserved the inheritance of supernatural powers.
But the area below the mountain looks extremely normal. Apart from the exceptionally beautiful scenery, it is no different from any other place. So could that special place be on the mountain?
The members' eyes passed Lu Yao who was leading the way and involuntarily fell to the front.
At their feet, the path twists and turns, and at the end of the road, the mountains stand majestically, magnificent and mysterious, which makes people yearn for it.
