Chapter 110: Don’t Go Out At Night
The livestream room viewers were also laughing at the kids’ various tricks of playing cute, but when the camera turned and they saw the stack of talismans in the staff member’s hand, they were all dumbfounded.
【Who can tell me, what is that?】
【The two eggs under the upstairs guy’s eyebrows only know how to roll around and not look, what else could it be! Talismans!】
【Oh my god, who can tell me, where did the younger sister get these talismans from? And such a big stack!】
【Hahahaha, it can’t be that our younger sister is a Heavenly Master… right?】
【I’m done, Heavenly Master? Don’t insult Heavenly Masters, okay? Can’t even spot such obvious hype? People in the entertainment industry really will do anything to get famous!】
【Don’t worry, our Xuanmen Association doesn’t have child laborers that small!】
Nan Yuanman blinked her eyes and called out in a childish voice to Tang Tang, the staff member who was staring blankly at the talismans in her hand: “Sister?”
Tang Tang came back to her senses and quickly asked: “Perfection, where did you get these talismans?” Could it be a scammer tricking a kid? That’s too morally bankrupt.
“Grandpa and I drew them.” Nan Yuanman said, then pulled out the small coffin and placed it in Tang Tang’s hand: “My grandpa runs a coffin shop, sister. If you’re collecting the talismans, do you need to collect this small coffin too?”
Tang Tang looked at the small coffin in her hand, her body shuddered in fright, her mouth just opened but before the scream could come out, a sharp scream came from the side first: “Ah—!”
Tang Tang and Nan Yuanman were startled and turned around to look. Meng Xi was looking at the talismans and small coffin in Tang Tang’s hand with a face full of fear, her feet backing away, her brows full of disgust: “What are these things? Why bring such bad luck items to the program!”
Meng Xi stared at that small coffin, the more she looked the more uncomfortable she felt, irritably saying: “Hurry up and throw it away!”
Nan Yuanman pursed her lips, a bit unhappy as she retorted: “Xiao Hong is not a bad luck item!”
“And this is my thing! You have no right to throw it away!”
Feng Langqing also walked over and turned to look at Director Ge: “Director, these talismans and small coffin aren’t contraband, no need to collect them, right?”
Meng Xi’s unease grew stronger. She didn’t care about giving Feng Langqing face and said in an urgent sharp tone: “Director Ge, even though these aren’t contraband, they’re really too bad luck and too scary. If you don’t collect them, who will dare to interact with her later!”
Director Ge thought for a moment upon hearing this, looked at Nan Yuanman, and asked warmly: “Perfection, can uncle help you put these things away first? Don’t worry, uncle will keep them safe for you, won’t throw them away.”
Ordinary people haven’t been in contact with coffin shops, and suddenly seeing so many talismans and a small coffin would indeed cause fear and panic.
Director Ge couldn’t blindly side with Feng Langqing either, so he handled it moderately by personally helping Nan Yuanman collect these things.
Nan Yuanman felt a little depressed inside, but she didn’t want to make Feng Langqing sad, so she obediently nodded: “Okay.”
She obediently took off her ever-present small shoulder bag, took back the talismans and small coffin from Tang Tang’s hand and stuffed them in, then carried the bag and ran pattering towards Director Ge, standing on tiptoes to hand it to him: “Here, uncle, you have to keep them safe for Perfection!”
Director Ge directly hung Nan Yuanman’s small shoulder bag around his neck: “Don’t worry, uncle guarantees to keep them safe and sound.”
The slightly chaotic contraband submission segment ended, and Director Ge announced the next step: “Now, please all guests carry your luggage and head to the task location on your own.”
“The old grandpas and old grandmas in the task location who you’ll help with tasks are your examiners. After the tasks, they will score you. The highest scorer will have the right to choose the living environment for tonight first, and subsequent choices will be allocated according to scores!”
While the director was announcing the steps, Feng Langqing had already picked up the luggage full of energy with Nan Yuanman and entered the village.
Feng Langqing vowed confidently to Nan Yuanman: “Perfection, your third brother has plenty of strength. Just sit and watch later as third brother completes the tasks for you!”
Nan Yuanman panted with her short legs to catch up with him, replying off-topic: “Okay, Perfection will help third brother complete the tasks!”
“No, you’re helping me, I’m helping you…”
The other four groups of guests also dispersed to find their task locations.
Soon, Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman arrived in front of a rather rundown tile-roofed house. The tile house door was a wooden door, there were a few spirited sheep dung balls on the ground, and in one corner of the yard, a felt cloth was used to cover a simple kitchen.
There was curling thick smoke rising from the kitchen. Nan Yuanman and Feng Langqing standing outside could smell the rice aroma coming from inside.
Feng Langqing, who had only eaten a steamed bun in the morning, got hungry from the smell. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door: “Is anyone there? We’re the guests here to help you chop wood and feed the chickens! Please open the door!”
Slightly heavy footsteps came from inside the door. The tightly closed door was slowly opened from inside by someone. Feng Langqing raised a polite smile on his face, but when he saw the person standing at the doorway, he was instantly scared with all his hair standing on end.
The livestream room viewers were also startled: 【Oh my god! Why didn’t the staff give a high-energy warning?】
【It’s not that I’m timid, but this person… looks too weird, right?】
【Scared me so much my phone flew out, @Star Bringing Baby Diary compensate my phone!】
The old woman who opened the wooden door had a short stature, hunched waist, half her face was normal human face, but the other half was covered in black fur, her eye iris was entirely white, looking extremely weird.
He seemed to realize Feng Langqing was scared too, and quickly turned his face away, lowering his head with a hoarse voice: “Come in.”
Saying that, without waiting for Feng Langqing to react, he limped inside first.
Nan Yuanman frowned slightly, staring tightly at the old woman’s back. In a daze, she seemed to see a black fox appear behind the old woman.
The black fox was almost stuck to the old woman’s body, the black fox opening its bloody mouth, biting on the old woman’s face.
This scene only lasted an instant in front of Nan Yuanman before disappearing, so fast it was like a hallucination.
Nan Yuanman blinked her eyes, rubbed them again, and when she looked at the old woman again, it was normal, no black fox at all.
Feng Langqing came back to his senses and saw Nan Yuanman rubbing her eyes, so he quickly squatted down to ask her: “What’s wrong? Something get in your eyes?”
“No.” Nan Yuanman opened her mouth, originally wanting to tell Feng Langqing about the black fox, but suddenly remembered this third brother was afraid of ghosts, so she didn’t say, pulled his hand and pattered inside: “Third brother, let’s go do the tasks!”
The old woman put on a hat covering her face. Seeing Feng Langqing walk over, she raised her hand and pointed to a pile of un-split firewood in the yard: “Your task is to split this pile of wood. The child is to feed the chickens. The chicken coop is over there. Call me if you need anything.”
After saying that, the old woman turned and went into the house, leaving the yard for Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman to do the tasks.
Feng Langqing put down the luggage, rolled up his sleeves, spat some saliva into his palm, picked up the axe and started huffing and puffing to split the wood.
Nan Yuanman looked left and right, saw the chicken feed piled by the old woman not far away, pattered over, and skillfully started scooping chicken feed and adding water, preparing for feeding the chickens.
Compared to the calm at Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman’s side, the other guests were in complete chaos.
Su Yilan drew helping a mobility-impaired old grandma carry water, Su Hu was to find food for little ducks.
As a result, just as she picked up the water bucket and turned to go to the riverside, the swinging bucket smashed the old grandma sitting in the chair to the ground.
Su Hu fell into the field while looking for food.
Meng Xi was helping to herd cows, but because she was scared and screaming all the way, it stressed the cow out, which dragged her running wildly, and Meng Juanjuan who was going to cut pig grass together chased behind her.
He Junnan had it worse, helping a villager plow the field, and fell no less than ten times in the field because it was his first time using that thing.
Lin Lean was helping to catch fish, getting slapped in the face by the fish repeatedly.
Jiang Chuyun and Jiang Xinxin had to help bathe the village’s only horse, but before they even started washing, the horse pooped right in front of them, the fresh poop directly burying Jiang Xinxin’s pretty shoes.
The originally peaceful village became extraordinarily noisy because of their arrival.
The only ones happy were Director Ge and the livestream room viewers, watching the stars make fools of themselves was especially amusing, and they even screenshot many abstract expressions to make into emoji packs.
Until the afternoon, Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman completed the tasks first and chose the best brick house in the village as their place to stay tonight.
For food, the director made them solve it themselves.
Feng Langqing then acted pitiful to the old woman with Nan Yuanman and got a meal from him.
After eating, Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman walked hand in hand contentedly, munching on the cucumbers given by the old woman as they headed to their residence.
Just after taking two steps, the old woman who saw them off suddenly spoke: “Wait a minute.”
Feng Langqing turned his head in confusion. The old woman still had her hat on, covering that weird half face. He wasn’t afraid anymore: “Grandpa Hu, what’s up?”
“Tonight… no matter what sounds you hear, don’t come out to look.” Grandpa Hu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: “Otherwise, you’ll be caught and eaten by Fox Great Immortal!”
