Lu Fan smiled confidently, patted An Lan's hand, and said, "Don't worry, why would I lead you astray? With me here, you can rest assured!"
At first, the road was fairly flat, but the terrain became lower and lower as you went further.
After crossing a undulating hillside, a huge depression suddenly appeared before us, filled with a dense bamboo forest that blocked out the sky.
"Wow, this is amazing!" An Lan couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wide with surprise.
Lu Fan was also stunned by the scene before him. Looking at this green ocean, the refreshing air rushed towards them, instantly invigorating them.
Without saying a word, the two dismounted.
Lu Fan surveyed the vast bamboo forest. "Perfect timing, let's dig some bamboo shoots to take home. We don't have any left at home."
Then Lu Fan picked up a small hoe and a basket.
As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, they discovered that the bamboo was thicker and denser than they had imagined. Looking up, the sunlight was filtered through the bamboo leaves into dappled patterns.
And bamboo shoots are so plentiful that they can't be counted, after all, this place is sparsely populated and is simply a paradise for bamboo shoots.
Big Black was also extremely excited, running wildly through the bamboo forest, chasing butterflies one moment and rolling around on the ground the next, having a great time.
Without further ado, Lu Fan started digging, his hands gripping the hoe tightly, each strike precise and powerful.
Before long, several tender white bamboo shoots were dug out.
An Lan followed behind, picking up the bamboo shoots and skillfully peeling off their outer shells. The two worked together seamlessly, like an experienced old couple.
Lu Fan dug with increasing enthusiasm, his speed increasing, and before he knew it, he had left An Lan behind.

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

...
Lu Fan was immersed in the joy of digging bamboo shoots, as if the whole world consisted only of him and those lovely bamboo shoots, and he swung his hoe with great force.
Suddenly, a sharp "Ah!" came from behind.
Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat. He threw down the hoe with a clatter and ran back as fast as he could.
That speed was probably comparable to an Olympic sprint champion. He shouted as he ran, "An Lan, what's wrong with you!"
He rushed to An Lan in one stride, spreading his arms wide like a solid wall in front of her, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
An Lan pointed to a spot, her eyes wide with surprise and delight, and exclaimed, "Look, a panda!"
Lu Fan looked down in the direction she pointed and, sure enough, a little panda was curled up in a small hut at the base of a few bamboo stalks.
This little guy has big dark circles under his eyes, and his fluffy body is like a fluffy ball. He's so cute, he looks like he stepped out of a fairy tale.
An Lan's eyes instantly sparkled with admiration, as if she had seen the most precious treasure in the world. She kept saying, "It's so cute, I want to hug it."
After confirming that there was no danger, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed.
He squatted down and made "sucking" sounds into the red panda's mouth with great interest, as if he were calling his own pet dog.
An Lan couldn't help but give him a light punch, scolding him playfully, "You're not a dog, why are you barking like that!"
But who would have thought that the little panda was actually attracted by Lu Fan's amazing animal affinity, and slowly crawled over, its short legs wobbling, looking adorable.
What's even more amusing is that it's tightly clutching a small bamboo shoot in its hand, as if afraid someone will steal its treasure.
It walked up to Lu Fan and even offered him a bamboo shoot, as if to say, "Come on, try my delicious food."
Looking at the adorable little panda in front of him, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile and happily picked it up.
The little guy is fluffy and soft; holding him in your arms is like holding a gentle cloud—the touch is incredibly comfortable.
Lu Fan couldn't resist giving it a few more strokes.
He kept saying, "Oh my, my little darling, how can you be so cute? You're melting my heart."
He was enjoying petting the panda when he inadvertently turned his head and caught the undisguised anticipation in An Lan's eyes.
The look in his eyes was like a child's longing gaze at candy in a shop window.
Lu Fan instantly understood, smiled and gently placed the little panda into An Lan's hands, saying, "Come on, you can also experience the charm of this adorable creature!"
An Lan took the little panda with both hands, a happy smile on her face. She gently rubbed its head, then picked up a tender bamboo shoot and teased it.
The red panda's round body swayed back and forth as the bamboo shoots moved.
Every now and then, it would stretch out its chubby little paws to grab something, its adorable appearance making Anlan giggle.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was also bustling with activity.
"Ahhh, my girlish heart is bursting! This little panda is just too cute!"
"I really want to pet it, I wonder if it feels as good as it looks."
"I really want to sit on it and flatten it. I wonder what that would feel like."
"If I could keep a panda as a pet, I would be laughing in my sleep."
"Don't get any ideas. This little guy looks cute, but its ancestor was Chi You's mount. When it grows up, one slap will send you to see your great-grandmother."
While playing with the red panda, An Lan couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder this little guy is a national treasure in our country, he's so cute! I've only ever seen him on TV before, I never imagined seeing him in person would feel like this, it's amazing."
Looking at An Lan's childlike joy, Lu Fan shook his head, feigning helplessness, but a doting smile played on his lips: "You're more excited to see a red panda than to see me."
After saying that, he hummed a cheerful tune, picked up his hoe again, and continued digging bamboo shoots with great enthusiasm.
Time passed quietly, the sun gradually set in the west, and the horizon was dyed orange-red.
The basket was piled high with tender bamboo shoots. Lu Fan straightened up, wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and called out to An Lan, "An Lan, it's getting late. We should go back, otherwise it won't be safe to walk at night."
An Lan looked longingly at the little panda in her arms, then at the setting sun, sighed softly, and carefully placed the little panda on the ground.
But who would have thought that as soon as the little guy landed, he came panting after Lu Fan, grabbed his trouser leg, and wouldn't let go no matter what.
The little legs kept kicking upwards, and it made "woo-woo" sounds, as if pleading, "Don't leave me behind, I want to go with you!"
Lu Fan looked puzzled, scratched his head, and turned to ask An Lan, "Does it mean it wants to come home with us?"
