The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 19

They knew the director's nature too well.

Mountains and rivers = remote location;

Beautiful scenery = undeveloped;

Simple folk customs = fellow villagers and the program team agreed to release difficult tasks;

Very unique = must climb mountains, dig holes, go down rivers, and climb trees.

The director quickly retreated, winked at the host Lu Man, and stuffed the electric megaphone into Lu Man's hand.

Lu Man pretended not to notice everyone's disdain and changed the subject with a smile on his face, "Our destination is Yinping Village, but from here, the bus can't drive in, so our first task is to reach the destination within two hours."

Chi Qingzhou raised his hand obediently, "How far is it from Yinping Village?"

Lu Man: "This is a good question. It's not far, only 12 kilometers."

Tang Qichen was speechless, "Brother Lu, listen to what you said, are you talking like a human? It takes two hours to walk a 12-kilometer mountain road. We will probably have to carry our luggage by ourselves. Is this something a human can ask for?"

Lu Man looked innocent, "It doesn't necessarily have to walk. If you can find a fellow villager to take you, it's also a skill."

Xu Xinxin nodded, "I understand, it's a trick to coax us to do hard labor for the fellow villagers."

Lu Man pretended not to hear it, and raised the megaphone, indicating that everyone could set off.

The guests sighed and went to pick up their luggage, and every expression was full of despair of suffering.

The livestream barrage laughed loudly, and in the forests on both sides of Yinping Village, the leaves were blown by the wind.

The sound was a bit strange.

It was like something unspeakable was laughing, and the laughter was full of impatient joy.

Chi Qingzhou tilted his head, listened for a while, and laughed along.

Xing Shuangzhan tapped his ankle lightly and reminded him in a voice that ordinary people couldn't hear, "Look outside the window."

Chi Qingzhou took the action of taking the suitcase to look in that direction. A man with a frosted face was riding a tricycle and parked not far from the bus.

His eyes were numb, his cheeks were thin, and his forehead was full of wrinkles. At first glance, he had a sense of honesty after going through hardships.

People unfamiliar with the business might think he lived a hard life and frowned frequently, which was why he looked so weathered. But Chi Qingzhou saw it clearly—deep horizontal lines at the bridge of his nose, a flat nasal structure, and wide-set cheekbones. A textbook face of someone who had left their hometown... and of a ruthless, treacherous man.

As if he noticed his gaze, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Just one glance, and the man's expression changed a little.

He froze for a moment, then his eyes flooded with uncontainable ecstasy. His lips quivered, and in that instant, the facade of rustic innocence shattered—revealing his true, sinister nature

Chi Qingzhou walked out of the bus with his suitcase calmly, and the man's snake-like cold gaze followed him all the time.

Strong malice and greed carried the wind in the mountains and forests, wishing to drown Chi Qingzhou completely.

Chi Qingzhou lowered his eyes, and his smile became particularly sweet.

In the shadow, his other half of the soul grinned happily and exaggeratedly, his pupils were stained with a strong blood color, and he looked less and less like a human.

Outside the bus, several guests who got off the bus first were gathered together to discuss after inquiring about the situation.

Tang Qichen said, "I asked a few fellow villagers, these transportation tools at the fork in the road can be taken, but they all cost money."

Zhong Lingshu took out two hundred yuan, "This is the start-up fee, you have to save it."

Chi Qingning's eyes flashed, remembering that the second season of the program was supported by the government of Qunqing Province, and the main purpose was to boost the economy and help poor households, and a bit of sympathy immediately appeared on his face.

"Just now I chatted with a fellow villager for a while, and heard him say that the family conditions of the big brother riding the tricycle are not very good."

Zhong Lingshu nodded, "I heard about it too."

Yinping Village was close to the Puluo tribe, and most of the fellow villagers here were Puluo people.

The man riding the tricycle was one of the few non-natives in the village. He was originally an orphan. He was picked up by a family in the village about 30 years ago and had been stationed in the village ever since.

About 15 years ago, the family had an accident, and only he and his master's wife survived out of a family of seven.

His master's wife was greatly stimulated, and she had been crazy since then, and her health had become very bad.

At that time, he was not yet an adult, and he was worried about his master's wife staying alone in the village, so he gave up the opportunity to go to college and stayed to take care of his master's wife.

Yinping Village was relatively remote, and his master's wife was like that. He couldn't do many jobs and can only make a living by doing odd jobs.

Zhong Lingshu said, "He doesn't seem to like being noticed, but his master's wife needs money to buy medicine recently, so he agreed to participate in the filming of the program team."

Chi Qingning whispered, "His asking price is the lowest among everyone, otherwise we will take his cart?"

Several people had no objection, only Xu Xinxin glanced at the man and felt a little uneasy.

She was just trying to find a reason to persuade everyone, and Chi Qingning turned her head and looked at Chi Qingzhou and Liang Ji who had just got off the car.

"Second brother, Brother Liang, what do you think?"

"Look at what?" Liang Ji was completely confused and spoke up before Chi Qingzhou could respond.

He was the only guest who didn't bring a suitcase, and his clothes and daily necessities were packed in a backpack.

Just now on the bus, he noticed that his backpack strap had suddenly snapped for some reason. It took him quite a bit of effort to fix it so he could barely carry it again, which made him completely miss Zhong Lingshu and the others' conversation with the fellow townspeople. He had no idea why Chi Qingning was suddenly cueing him.

Chi Qingning's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Liang Ji obscurely, pursing his lips slightly.
