Chapter 55.2
Li Zhao found the house he was staying in. There was another guest living there as well. He was the one who was chased by several geese and climbed a tree. Finally, his expression pack spread around the Internet. He was the strength school actor, Xiang Zhen.
Since participating in the program, Xiang Zhen’s serious and cold image was broken into pieces and couldn’t be picked up.
“Hello, Teacher Xiang.” Li Zhao bowed toward Xiang Zhen.
“Just call me Brother Xiang.” Xiang Zhen saw that Li Zhao was white and tender. Even the suitcase was a popular model from a luxury brand. This made him secretly complain in his heart. Did the program give him such a teammate to make them place last?
Regardless, friendship was first and the game was second.
The two people shook hands and Xiang Zhen guided Li Zhao to the room. In the room that was less than 10 square metres, there were two steel-framed beds with a quilt and bed cover placed on the beds.
Li Zhao didn’t wait for Xiang Zhen to open his mouth as he lowered his suitcase, picked up the quilt and quickly made the beds. “Brother Xiang, which bed do you want to sleep in?”
Xiang Zhen hadn’t expected Li Zhao’s hands and feet to be so sharp and he patted Li Zhao’s shoulder excitedly. “The program team finally sent me a big general. I want to thank all the show’s crew!”
The director sitting next to the monitor at this time, “……”
No, it was completely different from their plan.
Xiang Zhen’s personality was straightforward and he had no prejudices against newcomers who were famous due to an online drama such as Li Zhao. In particular, once he heard that Li Zhao could cook, he stared at Li Zhao like he was looking at his biological brother.
After putting their things away, the guests had an hour of ret time. Li Zhao quickly pulled out his phone to send a message to Yan Ting.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: I ate bacon in the village at noon and it was super delicious. I could’ve eaten two bowls of rice if there wasn’t a camera shooting me.
Although the team was already shocked by the amount of food he ate.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: The people in the program group are very good. They didn’t deliberately make trouble and the air is excellent. It is just a bit cold. Fortunately, you had the housekeeper uncle bring me an extra coat.
It took a while for him to hear back from Yan Ting.
Yan Ting: Okay, pay attention to your body.
At 4 in the afternoon, all the guests gathered and Li Zhao finally met the other four guests. There was a singer, opera actor, literary actor and TV host. Li Zhao was the only one who was a traffic star. For Li Zhao’s arrival, they all expressed great enthusiasm and implicitly asked if Li Zhao could do farm work.
“Young people are good, young people are good at physical things.”
“Right right, your hands and feet are good.” The literary actor, Qian Duoxi patted his shoulder. “Xiang Zhen, let’s change teams. I’ll give Zhang Kui to you.”
Zhang Kui, “???”
“Not long ago, you were still calling me Xiao Kui and now you are changing to a younger and handsome guy?” Zhang Kui pretended to wipe away tears. “Brother Qian, you’re so heartless.”
“Welcome to all guests to the recording of Seclusion Mountain Forest. Now we should clap to welcome the new guest of this episode, Li Zhao, the show’s face value!”
“Thank you.” Li Zhao folded his hands together.
The host asked loudly, “I haven’t seen you for a while. Have you missed me?”
There was silence.
“It’s okay. I think everyone is fine.” The host wiped his face. “What is the slogan for our program?”
“Just survive!”
“Don’t release a cow!”
“Don’t kill sheep!”
Li Zhao silently took a step back. This program group… it was in a life or death mode.
Their first task was to help an old man in the village dig up weeds. The group carried their hoes and came to the field. They saw Li Zhao roll up his sleeve and step forward. Then he raised the hoe and started weeding, digging at the ground and shovelling a large piece of soil with the hoe.
The five guests’ mouths dropped open.
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have called the program group dogs. In fact, they are still human. At least they arranged Zhao Zhao to be with us.”
“Da Liu, it isn’t that we’re despising you. It is just that Zhao Zhao is really capable.”
Da Liu was the hapless guest who was bitten by the dog.
Xiang Zhen dragged his basket to pick up weeds and curiously asked Li Zhao, “Xiao Li, how to do this?”
“This is quite simple. You can do it as long as you find the right position for the hoe.” Li Zhao pointed to the handle of the hoe. “For example, here is the point of focus. You have to consider the thickness of the soil, the softness and the height after raising the hoe…”
Xiang Zhen, “……”
He could understand every word but he couldn’t understand them when they were placed together. The camera turned toward the ignorant and helpless Xiang Zhen and didn’t hesitate to zoom in with no dead ends.
After digging at the ground, everyone was exhausted but the director arranged for them to help an old lady in the village find the chickens that hadn’t yet returned to the cage. They made a mournful sound as they dragged their heavy bodies and started looking for chickens all over the mountain. For a poor farmer, a chicken was an important asset. However, the guests in the program group had grown up in towns and cities and didn’t know where to start.
Li Zhao hadn’t walked far when he heard a scream. He turned to look and found Zhang Kui rolling out of the grass, followed by a red-crowned big rooster, chasing him with wings flapping. Zhang Kui saw Li Zhao and acted like he was seeing a loved one. He rushed toward Li Zhao. “Xiao Li, the world’s most handsome, most handsome man. Save me.”
Who knew that Li Zhao wouldn’t save him? Rather, Li Zhao turned and ran.
“Why are you running?” Zhang Kui was desperate.
“The rooster can fly!” Li Zhao ran while shouting. “I can’t beat it.”
“You can’t even beat a chicken, where is your dignity as a popular artist?”
“You can do it if you want!”
Zhang Kui couldn’t. The two of them ran desperately until the rooster’s owner found something was wrong and called the rooster back, saving their lives.
“Why are the geese, dogs and even the chickens in the country so good?” Zhang Kui leaned against his legs and panted continuously.” I thought I was a tyrant when I was a kid but today, I lost to a big rooster.”
“Brother Zhang, how did you mess with it?” Li Zhao stood against a tree. “This type of bright-feathered rooster with a thick crown is powerful. His combat effectiveness is very strong.
“I saw him with a hen and wanted to see if the hen was one lost by the auntie.” Zhang Kui spoke quietly. “It seems I did something wrong.”
“Let’s go and continue to search.” Li Zhao had better physical strength than Zhang Kui and didn’t need to gasp so much. The two people walked along a path and saw a few children wearing plastic cloths and holding a stick like they were playing as martial artists.
“Dear heroes!” Li Zhao held his fist and called out to the children. “There is something important I have to ask. I’m begging the great heroes to help.”
“It’s over!” Behind the monitor, the director hit his thighs.” There is a child here who saw where we put the chicken.”
Who would’ve thought that Li Zhao was so despicable and shameless that he would even take advantage of a child.
“I know, I know!” One child raised his hand while putting the stick in his waistband. “I’ll take you there.”
“Thank you, Hero. You are really righteous.” Li Zhao solemnly bowed to them and the children laughed before copying him.
“Child, follow me.”
This changed from a martial arts scene to a scene from Journey to the West. In the end, they found a big hen with her legs tied in a meadow.
“What villain kidnapped this chicken and placed it so far away?” Li Zhao picked up the big hen and thanked the ‘heroes.’ “Than you Heroes. We will meet again.”
“Hero, go slowly!” The child happily played along.
“This time it is farewell but I want to ask you to take care and study hard in school.”
“A hero doesn’t need to study.”
“Who said that heroes don’t need to study?” Li Zhao raised an eyebrow. “If you aren’t good at studying then you won’t understand when a poem is written that scolds you. You also won’t understand letters written to you secretly by undercovers. If you can’t write or read then you can’t be a first-class hero, no matter how talented. Understand?”
“Really?”
“Of course.” Li Zhao handed the chicken to Zhang Kui and stood with his hands behind his back, posture tall as he fooled around with these little boys. “Have you ever seen a hero on TV who can’t read or write?”
The children shook their heads.
“That’s right.” Li Zhao smiled with satisfaction. “If you want to practice martial arts then you must first understand the martial arts script.”
Li Zhao looked up at the sky before touching the children’s heads. “Heroes, it is late. You should go home. I will take this kidnapped chicken back.”
On the director’s side, the director drank Coke while his legs shook. “This time, the new guest is very interesting.”
Guests who could play with these naughty children for so long and also play happily, there was probably no one except for Li Zhao. After getting back the lady’s chickens, the guests were finally rewarded with a sweet potato dinner.
“Qingxi Village is full of sweet potatoes.” The host reappeared when everyone was having a good time and pretended not to see the disgusted eyes of the guests. “The sweet potatoes are all treasures but since there are so many people planting them in Qingxi Village, they are hard to sell. So tomorrow, I am asking all guests to help the villagers sell 500 kg of sweet potatoes.”
“500 kilograms?”
Xiang Zhen was seriously shocked. This program group wasn’t human!
The next morning, Xiang Zhen woke up and saw Li Zhao lying on the ground, writing and drawing something on cardboard.
He got up and saw that the cardboard read, ‘The black-hearted program group forces artists to sell sweet potatoes. The best sweet potatoes, 8 jiao for 500 grams. As long as you give us love, we can find the money to go home.” (10 jiao= 1 yuan)
Xiang Zhen silently sat back on bed.
Young man, too amazing!
In Beijing, Yan Ting was drinking a small bowl of porridge under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper.
“Sir, you’re great today.”
“Don’t learn to speak from Li Zhao.” Yan Ting put down the bowl and picked up the phone. Li Zhao had just sent him a message.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: Ting Ting, I’m going to the vegetable market today! I’m so excited. I feel it is a bit fun! [Photo]
In the photo, Li Zhao was wearing torn clothes borrowed by the villagers and he held a sign in his hand. He looked like a scammer on the streets asking for money.
The difference was that the sign in his hand wasn’t about going to college or someone at home having cancer. Yan Ting was silent for a long time before replying blankly.
[Refuel.]
The author has something to say:
The kindergarten is engaged in charity sales activities:
Baby Zhao Zhao was excited all night and didn’t sleep well. Early in the morning, he carried the small bag for collecting money and stood in front of the kindergarten door. he also sent a message to Baby Ting Ting, who didn’t participate, showing off his excited mood.
I want to recommend a novel. It is the new novel by Long Qi (author of Game Loading) and is a gaming novel. I love love love this novel. It is hilarious and the MC and ML are great. I especially love the MC, who is completely wild, shameless and hilarious. If it wasn’t for all the gaming terms, I might’ve considered translating it. Instead, I dragged Xin into the pit and eventually she cracked and was convinced to translate it.
There are only a few chapters out right now but Xin is a quick and great translator. I hope you check it out. It is called Glory and the link to the table of contents is below.
