Chapter 116: Danger!
Nan Yuanman quickly hopped down from the small stool and ran to the stone vat, swiftly scooping up a basin of water before hugging the water basin and dashing madly into the kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with smoke, and as soon as Nan Yuanman entered, she was smoke-damaged by the black smoke and closed her eyes. She only heard Feng Langqing’s cough in her ears. He said in surprise, “Perfection? Why did you come in——!?”
“Splash!!”
Before he could finish a sentence, Feng Langqing was drenched all over.
After splashing the water, Nan Yuanman hurriedly grabbed Feng Langqing’s hand and dragged him outward: “Third brother, it’s on fire! Come out with me quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Langqing found it funny and annoying at the same time. He first hugged Nan Yuanman and left the kitchen, coughing several times before hoarsely explaining embarrassedly, “It’s not on fire. I couldn’t light it, so I added more firewood inside…”
The fire still wouldn’t light, but the smoke was enormous.
Nan Yuanman, still holding a basin in her hands, froze: “Huh?”
The livestream room audience was already laughing like crazy:
【Screenshot taken, meme +1】
【I didn’t expect there to be something Actor Feng couldn’t do. I thought he could do everything.】
【Hahaha! One big and one small, one soaking wet, one filthy dirty, they look just like little beggars.】
Feng Congqian, who had gotten up early to squat in the livestream, coldly sent a bullet screen: 【Trash.】
If it were him, he definitely could have lit the fire and wouldn’t let Perfection worry.
It seemed like there was too little wilderness survival training. When Feng Langqing came back, he had to drill him hard!
Nan Yuanman hadn’t expected this to be a misunderstanding. She looked at Feng Langqing, wanting to say something but stopping, then stopping and wanting to say something again. Finally, she sighed like a little adult and reached out to pat his shoulder: “Forget it, let Perfection do it.”
Feng Langqing made a doubting sound: “Do you know how to make fire?”
“Of course! Grandpa said Perfection is a little expert at making fire!” Nan Yuanman patted her little chest twice. Afraid Feng Langqing wouldn’t believe her, she twisted her body and jumped down from his arms, then da-da-da ran into the messy kitchen.
She went straight to the stove, took out the messily stuffed firewood from inside the stove, then stuffed in some fine firewood and built a crisscross shape in the stove. Afterward, she lit a plastic bag and shoved it in.
In less than half a minute, the flames successfully rose.
Feng Langqing: “!!!”
Feng Langqing unhesitatingly gave Nan Yuanman a thumbs up: “Perfection, you’re the one! You’re too awesome!”
The little girl smiled reservedly, but the curve of her mouth couldn’t help but grow bigger.
While waiting for the water to heat, Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman first changed into a set of clean clothes and headed to the elementary school playground for the ingredients battle.
When they arrived, the other four groups of guests were already there, with the adults standing on one side and the child on the other.
Jiang Xinxin still looked at Nan Yuanman with disdain, but she knew there were cameras, so she huffed and turned her face away, not picking on her.
Su Hu excitedly waved his paws at Nan Yuanman: “Sister Yuanman! Come here quick!”
Meng Juanjuan pursed her lips and smiled gently. Lin Lean still had his hands in his pockets, looking like a cool boy.
After greeting Feng Langqing, Nan Yuanman da-da-da ran over.
Su Hu pulled Nan Yuanman and asked excitedly: “Sister Yuanman, did you sneak out for an adventure this morning? Can you take me next time?”
Nan Yuanman replied in her childish voice: “No, Perfection didn’t go on an adventure. Perfection went to see the village ancestral hall.”
“I can’t take you there. It’s very dangerous there.”
“What’s the village ancestral hall? Where is it?” Su Hu got even more excited upon hearing this and asked a bunch of questions chatteringly, then patted his chest and said: “Sister Yuanman, you don’t understand. If you’re a man, you should go to dangerous places for adventure!”
“If you don’t take me, then I’m not a man!”
Nan Yuanman was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: “If you’re not a man, will you turn into a girl?”
Su Hu scratched his head: “Probably?”
Lin Lean, who heard their conversation: “……”
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes and muttered softly: “Childish.”
Meng Juanjuan was as quiet as ever.
Director Ge came out with a megaphone. When he saw the familiar shoulder bag on Nan Yuanman, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to see it and looked away: “Alright, now that all the guests are here, our game is about to begin.”
The staff took out five apples and handed them to the children.
Director Ge: “Kids, you need to balance the apples on your heads and reach the finish line. Whoever gets there first gets to pick the ingredients for today’s cooking first!”
As he spoke, he pointed ahead. There was a wooden table with some common ingredients on it, including eggs, flour, dried noodles, and vegetables, plus a very small amount of two pieces of pork.
Nan Yuanman hadn’t eaten anything all morning. She stared at the meat on the table and swallowed her saliva, then quickly balanced the apple on her head.
Su Hu was also starving. Taking advantage of the director and staff not paying attention, he directly chomped a bite.
Su Yilan’s vision went black: “Su Hu!!”
Su Hu guiltily balanced the bitten apple on his head, and the other children were also ready.
The staff took out a small starter pistol and aimed it at the sky.
Director Ge: “Good, ready, set! Go!”
As soon as the words fell, Nan Yuanman da-da-da ran out with her short legs, and Jiang Xinxin quickly followed while holding back her anger.
Ever since Nan Yuanman could walk, she had practiced martial arts with Old Master Nan. Balancing an apple while running was a piece of cake for her.
She had practiced with a teacup on her head before!
Jiang Xinxin was different. After two steps, the apple on her head started shaking and directly fell to the ground with a slap. She hurriedly bent to pick it up.
Meng Juanjuan didn’t dare run and walked slowly with the apple on her head, which was also wobbling.
Lin Lean was fairly stable but still had to adjust the apple on his head after a few steps.
Su Hu’s apple fell after just two steps, and he picked it up as embarrassedly as Jiang Xinxin.
The adults watched tensely, clenching their fists and shouting encouragement.
Feng Langqing’s face was flushed with excitement: “Almost there! Go Perfection!”
Jiang Chuyun’s gaze had originally been on Jiang Xinxin, but when he saw that short little figure, he couldn’t help but shift his gaze to her.
Jiang Xinxin’s face was bright red. Unwilling to let Nan Yuanman take first place, she vented her anger with a kick while picking up the apple, directly kicking it under Nan Yuanman’s feet.
Feng Langqing: “!!!”
He hurriedly shouted: “Perfection! Watch your feet!”
This countryside playground was nothing like those in the city. The ground was uneven with small stones everywhere. If she fell, she’d end up bruised and swollen at best, and might even get disfigured!
The other adults’ hearts also rose in their throats.
Feng Congqian, watching the livestream, even stood up directly, tensely staring at the little figure about to step on the apple on the screen.
The apple appeared too suddenly. By the time Nan Yuanman reacted, it was too late. She simply gathered her qi in her dantian, held her breath until her face turned red, and stomped down hard with her little foot.
With a crack, the apple was stomped into pieces.
She slid forward two steps with the momentum, and the apple on her head rolled with her movement, splatting to the ground and rolling forward.
Nan Yuanman: “Ah! My apple!”
Seeing Nan Yuanman out of danger, Feng Langqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he could no longer hold back. He turned around, grabbed Jiang Chuyun’s collar, and smashed an angry fist into him!
