Jian Sheng was unaware that the scattered medicinal powder used had attracted others' attention.
Nor was the man who quietly sneaked over later aware that Jian Sheng was squandering a treasure.
However, due to the live broadcast, others, despite feeling Jian Sheng's indifferent attitude was too wasteful, did not say anything.
This was, after all, her own property, and they had no standing to lecture a young girl.
During the rest of the journey, Zhu Danni was distracted, often touching her arm.
Others might not know, but she herself could clearly feel that the wound on her arm had completely healed and there was no discomfort whatsoever.
Moreover, the skin on her arm felt as if long-blocked pores had finally been thoroughly cleaned, bringing an unprecedented sense of freshness and comfort.
This strange sensation made Zhu Danni want to untie the handkerchief wrapped around her arm immediately and see how it looked.
However, considering Jian Xiu Huan's intentions and the young girl who had unhesitatingly given her such precious medicine, Zhu Danni pursed her lips and dismissed the thought.
The group set off from the village to the mountain, and with Wu Qi leading the way, the journey was extremely smooth.
After winding through several mountain paths, they ended up circling to the town from another direction, and then returned to the village via the main road from the town.
As they walked through the streets and alleys, the villagers were curious about these outsiders dressed fashionably and cleanly, with people carrying cameras behind them. Especially since some of them were often seen on television, which made the villagers even more enthusiastic.
But these people only watched from a distance, and no one crowded them.
Even when Ke Xuan actively approached someone to chat, the other party, while excited, appeared remarkably reserved and nervous.
Upon returning to the village, Wu Qi said somewhat apologetically,
"I'm sorry, it's not that they dislike you that they're so distant. It's just that the people who are still here are all born and bred farmers, accustomed to a life of facing the yellow earth and turning their backs to the sky. Suddenly seeing 'city folk' like you, they feel subconsciously inferior and nervous."
Having left the village and seen the world, he knew many celebrities liked to put on a show.
If no one excitedly cheered for them wherever they went, they would feel as if they had lost face.
He had even seen celebrity assistants go to universities to recruit people to pose as fans just to look better.
Jian Xiu Huan smiled, "They are all very simple and lovely people."
Seeing that they were not angry, Wu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu Feng also smiled and steered the conversation back.
"I see many of the surrounding mountains are deserted, so why do those mountain paths seem to be frequently used?"
Before Wu Qi could formulate his words, Yao Yao Yao, with a wistful look, said,
"Perhaps it's a habit of the village elders, or maybe young people who return and often walk around for nostalgia?"
Wu Qi looked at her with surprise and nodded, "That's indeed the case. But there's another reason: although the mountain paths are difficult to traverse, they are actually much shorter than the main roads."
"Shorter?"
The group was confused. Logically, mountain paths shouldn't be associated with shortness, right?
However, looking at the slightly flatter terrain where the winding cement roads were built, and then at the route they had taken over mountains and ridges, they had to admit that, although more tiring, walking from the mountain was closer to a straight line.
So, it did make sense.
"Yes, the mountain paths are shorter than the normal roads. Many elderly villagers who are used to them prefer to follow their old habits and walk directly on the mountain paths. Even residents living on the mountain have specifically leveled and widened the mountain path leading to the market."
After listening, everyone expressed that they had learned something new.
Jiang Bin also smiled and promoted to the camera, "In this way, it's more convenient for others to visit. These natural, people-made mountain paths devoid of any industrial feel, coupled with the visible waves of rice paddies and continuous green mountains, and wild flowers and fruits along the roadside, this pure natural rural life, would you like to come and see?"
This was agreed upon beforehand when the program chose to stop here midway.
He naturally had to put in more effort.
After returning, they attended the wedding banquet of the newcomers, and everyone was also roped in to temporarily serve as groomsmen and bridesmaids.
After the banquet, it was already afternoon. Refusing the enthusiastic villagers, all the program staff began packing up and leaving.
They were heading to the next stop, where they would rest well for the night to be mentally prepared for the program's insane tasks the next day.
As they arrived at the village entrance and were about to leave, they noticed two more off-road vehicles next to their own cars.
Li Sheng walked up to Hu Guang Xu, "Those two cars brought our leaders."
Hu Guang Xu understood immediately, it seemed to be the follow-up to Jian Sheng being called away last night.
Then, as the guests were being arranged into their cars, the viewers in the live stream noticed that one person seemed to be missing from the guest group.
— Where did Sheng Sheng go? She was just here, how did she disappear while walking?
— I was watching Sheng Bao the whole time. It seemed like someone blocked the camera, and then Sheng Sheng never reappeared.
Suddenly, the live stream was in an uproar.
Everyone was asking where Jian Sheng had gone.
It couldn't be that such a big child had simply vanished under their noses, right?
— Did you see what the person who blocked Sheng Sheng looked like?
— No, it was just a back view. Sheng Sheng was blocked for a moment, and then she deviated from the team, and the camera didn't follow.
— Where are the photographers, directors, and directors? And so many people on site? Didn't anyone notice such a big child falling behind?
— That person with only a back view couldn't be a kidnapper, could they? Even kidnappers wouldn't dare to snatch a child in front of so many people, right?
— @Program team, hurry up and explain the situation. If we don't see the person, we're going to call the police!
Hu Guang Xu looked at the comments on the screen, feeling amused and helpless.
He truly didn't expect that the live stream audience would explode just because Sheng Sheng had disappeared for a short while.
However, this also represented that these people genuinely cared about the little girl and were worried about her safety.
What's more, Jian Sheng was still just a child, and her sudden disappearance was a too sensitive topic.
Hu Guang Xu immediately used the program's official account to debunk the rumors and pin it in the live stream:
【Little guest Jian Sheng is in our program's vehicle. Due to personal privacy concerns, Jian Sheng will not appear on the live stream for the rest of the journey.】
However, although he said this, many viewers believed it out of trust in the program team, but many still did not buy it.
