Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 427 The Feast is Here
Upon hearing the result, Yu Zhaojun's face turned ashen, and an aura of disappointment permeated his entire being.

From the moment he saw Du Anrao and his sister rush out without hesitation to protect the little girl, he knew he had lost.

Du Anrao and his sister could ignore the people behind Ke Zirui and even told his parents to come and cause them trouble, but Yu Zhaojun couldn't do that.

He didn't dare to lay a hand on Ke Zirui, let alone offend the Ke family behind him, so this outcome was entirely expected.

He was just somewhat unwilling, unwilling to take on such a big trouble, and even more unwilling to let his long-planned grand scheme fall apart at the last minute.

But what could he do, no matter how unwilling he was? Everything had already been settled, and he could only accept it reluctantly, coaxing Ke Zirui along the way.

Because of this unexpected situation, the production team has already lost a lot of time. In order not to affect the subsequent filming process, they can only let Yu Zhaojun stay where he is to coax Ke Zirui, while the others go to complete their tasks first. They will catch up with him when he has calmed him down.

Yu Zhaojun was filled with resentment. He was already the least famous among this group, and now he had to deal with such a troublesome person. These past few days, he was probably either coaxing the child or on his way to coax the child.

In order not to offend the investors, the production team may try to minimize the number of car accidents involving the child, and his scenes may also be ignored.

However, considering that this brat was the son of the big spender, Yu Zhaojun ultimately didn't dare to do anything to vent his anger on the child.

The location chosen by the production team for the first episode was a remote mountain village nestled against a bamboo forest.

This village is similar to many small mountain villages today. Most of the able-bodied men in the village have gone out to work, leaving mostly the elderly, the weak, and children behind.

The first task for Du Anrao and the others was to find the few houses arranged for them by the production team, on a first-come, first-served basis, and also to find their own lunch that day.

"It's already this late, and they're making us find our own lunch? Aren't they just forcing us to go find villagers to mooch meals from? These production teams are still as inhumane as ever." Chen Yefang, the only female singer among the regular guests, held her crying, baby-fed daughter and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Knowing they're not human, don't waste your energy complaining. The most urgent thing is to find a place to eat as soon as possible. It's okay for us adults to go hungry for a while, but the children can't stand being hungry." Tao Sigu held her son, who was already starting to get sleepy, with a hint of melancholy and bitterness in her expression.

Among them, Du Anrao was the calmest. After handing Ke Zhaozhao to her second brother, she took out a... compass from her backpack.

Du Hexuan was full of questions: "Why do you still carry this thing with you?"

“This is a good thing.” Du Anrao glanced at his second brother, his face showing a helpless expression that said, “You really don’t know what’s good for you.”

"This thing can be used as a compass in the wild to help determine direction and calculate location. It can be said to be a multi-functional tool for wilderness survival, and it is an essential item for home and travel. Knowing that we will be going into the mountains a lot this time, I brought it with me just in case."

Upon hearing this, Du Hexuan stared at the compass in Du Anrao's hand for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"So what is this thing you're taking out now...?"

"Let me figure out where we can get some food."

"...You can even calculate this? Then what did you figure out?"

As soon as Du Hexuan finished speaking, the compass in Du Anrao's hand pointed to a certain direction.

"Found it, come with me."

"Found it already? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

Du Anrao ignored him: "Zhaozhao, let's go. Your sister will take you to live in a big house and eat delicious food."

"Hmm!" After being held by Du Anrao, the little one seemed to have developed a chick complex towards her, and immediately struggled to get down from Du Hexuan's arms. As soon as she landed, she ran after Du Anrao. Du Hexuan was helpless and amused, and could only resign himself to running after the two little devils.

Liang Wanjuan and the others couldn't help but laugh at the sight: "Do you think the Du family kids... can they succeed?"

Chen Yefang and the others weren't particularly familiar with Du Hexuan, and fearing they might say too much in this situation, they simply replied perfunctorily, "I guess so. Du Yingdi's sister seems quite confident."

"It's good that young people are energetic. The result is not important. As long as the process is good, it's worth it. As long as they have fun, it's worth the trip."

Liang Wanjuan: "..." This patch is really well done, it's all platitudes.

"Shall we make a bet?"

"bet?"

"We're betting on whether they can find a house and get food before we do."

Chen Yefang hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"One word: to gamble or not?"

"bet!"

At this moment, Du Hexuan and the others had no idea what had happened after they left. Du Anrao led the two people, one big and one small, all the way to a small river.

Worried that the child would slip and fall into the river, Du Hexuan quickly chased after him and picked him up.

"Is this what you meant by taking us out for a big meal? Are we going to the Dragon Palace or the River of Oblivion? Let me make it clear, no matter how hungry I am, I can't eat water instead of food."

Du Anrao rolled his eyes at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

After speaking, she turned to look at the several aunties and grandmas washing clothes on the shore. When she saw an auntie in the crowd who looked anxious and hurried, her eyes lit up.

"Our feast is here!"

"What..." Before Du Hexuan could finish his question, he saw his younger sister run out like the wind. When he turned around, he saw Du Anrao standing in front of a slightly plump middle-aged woman, trying to get close to her.

"Sister, I see you look flustered and your forehead is covered in cold sweat. It seems you've encountered some insurmountable difficulty. May I have the honor of helping you resolve this problem?"

The older woman was stunned. When she saw that a young and pretty girl was blocking her way, she didn't feel offended. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed by Du Anrao's address of "sister".

"Why are you calling me 'sister'? I'm probably older than your mother."

"Really?" Du Anrao's eyes widened in surprise. "I can't tell at all. You look to me at most in my thirties or forties, maybe just over forty. They say a man is in his prime at forty, but you're a spitting image of a flower at forty. There's nothing wrong with me calling you 'sister'."

“Oh dear, child, what nonsense are you talking about? You’re in your early forties? I’m almost sixty. In the village, women who get married young are already grandmothers by this age. Calling me ‘older sister’ is embarrassing.”

Du Hexuan approached with the child in his arms, glanced at his younger sister who looked calm and sincere, and then at his aunt who had been so sweet-talked that she was practically a placenta. He was clearly lost in her sweet words. He fell silent.

How come I never noticed before that this girl is such a good talker?!
