I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

After leaving the talisman-drawing experience area, the production crew continued deeper into the Celestial Master's Mansion.

The air in Longhu Mountain is very fresh.

There are many ancient trees in the courtyard, with their roots growing out from the cracks in the stones. Some areas are enclosed by wooden fences to prevent tourists from getting too close.

Director Xu pointed to an old camphor tree and introduced it.

"This tree is very old, and it's hard to say exactly how old it is, but it has always been an important part of the landscape here."

Zhao Mengmeng looked up at the tree canopy.

"It's so tall."

Zhou Xiaoyu whispered, "Grandpa Tree."

Chen Doudou glanced at it.

Does it bear fruit?

Lin Jia was already used to it.

"Camphor trees aren't for you to eat fruit."

Shen Ling'er stood under the tree, looked at the trunk, and then at the surrounding stone slabs.

She suddenly frowned slightly.

Zhao Lei immediately became alert.

"Teacher Ling'er, what does that expression mean?"

Shen Ling'er raised her hand and pointed to the wooden railing beside the tree.

"It would be best to move this area a little further out."

Director Xu was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "The roots of this tree extend further outwards than the railing."

"Tourists are standing outside the railing, thinking they haven't stepped on the protected area, but some of them are actually stepping on the roots."

"Look at this stone slab, there's a slightly upturned line, it must be the tree roots slowly pushing it up from below."

"People walk on this every day, which will damage it. The tree won't be damaged immediately, but over time, the soil around its roots will become harder and harder, and it will feel uncomfortable."

Director Xu was stunned.

She quickly squatted down to take a look.

Sure enough, near the edge of the stone slab, one of the slabs was slightly uneven.

Not obvious.

You wouldn't notice it at all unless you were specifically looking for it.

A staff member from the scenic area also came over, and after looking at it, his expression became serious.

"We hadn't really noticed that before."

"It's possible that the tree roots grew outwards later, and the position of the railing wasn't adjusted in time."

Zhao Lei's eyes widened.

"Teacher Ling'er, can you really spot problems with the protection of ancient trees just by visiting a scenic area?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Trees can't speak; you can only see what they're supporting."

The staff member was taken aback.

He then nodded earnestly.

"The child is right. We will talk to the park maintenance team and see if we need to adjust the protection area."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"It's best not to press the stone slab back down directly."

"First, check where the roots are. Otherwise, even if you flatten them, it will look better to people, but it will make the tree feel worse."

The staff members looked even more serious.

"Okay, we'll write it down."

The barrage of comments instantly became dense.

"Holy crap, she can even tell that ancient tree roots are protected?"

"Trees can't speak, you can only see what they're supporting—that's a really poignant line."

"She's not a charlatan, she just pays attention to details."

"A staff member at Longhushan Scenic Area: A five-year-old patrolman came today."

"During the program crew's trip, Ling'er took the opportunity to offer suggestions on ecological protection."

Zhao Lei slowly turned towards the camera.

"Dear viewers, this is the second lesson of the Longhu Mountain series: Ancient Tree Protection."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't talk like I'm here to work."

Zhao Lei immediately changed his tune.

"Please cherish the ancient trees in the scenic area and do not step on their roots."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This sentence is useful."

Zhao Lei immediately agreed.

"I'm useful again today."

Bai Sisi said with a smile, "You're getting better and better at making complicated things sound useful."

Zhao Lei said earnestly, "I was brought up by Teacher Ling'er."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"Don't put all the credit on me; you did take fewer detours these past few days."

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, then was so moved that he almost shouted again.

But remembering that this was the Celestial Master's Mansion, he forced himself to hold back and only clenched his fists.

Bai Sisi laughed uncontrollably while reading it.

"You're really on silent mode now."

After visiting the Celestial Master's Mansion, the production team arranged lunch nearby.

Longhushan's specialty dishes are served.

The menu includes Shangqing tofu, braised chicken with chestnuts, steamed pork with rice flour, wild vegetable soup, and steamed fish and egg custard that are suitable for children.

As soon as Chen Doudou sat down, her eyes lit up.

"There's a chicken!"

Lin Jia reminded him, "It's braised chicken with chestnuts."

Chen Doudou nodded.

"Chestnuts can also be served with chicken."

Shen Ling'er glanced at the dishes on the table.

"The food was good this time, not too oily, and the kids could eat it."

The director, sitting in the back, immediately straightened his back.

The assistant director had already lowered his head to take notes.

[Lunch at Longhu Mountain: Received initial approval from Shen Ling'er.]

Zhao Lei saw this and couldn't help but complain.

"Assistant director, you're even starting to write the 'preliminary' draft now?"

The assistant director is very meticulous.

"She hasn't eaten yet, so we can't issue a formal endorsement."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

Shen Ling'er picked up a small piece of tofu and took a bite.

She slowly finished chewing and nodded.

"The tofu is good. It's not particularly soft, but it has a strong bean flavor."

The director immediately looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director continued writing.

[Shangqing Tofu: Officially approved.]

Zhao Lei was dumbfounded.

"Your system is becoming more and more mature."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Making a list of delicious places is very useful."

"You won't need to try again next time."

Chen Doudou nodded immediately.

"right!"

Zhao Lei looked at Chen Doudou.

"DouDou, do you want a food diary too?"

Chen Doudou is very serious.

"I can memorize it directly."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"He does remember what he eats."

Lin Jia sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"I admit that."

Halfway through lunch, Director Xu suddenly asked with a smile, "Ling'er, this afternoon we're going to take a bamboo raft trip on the Luxi River. Are you afraid of water?"

Yang Mi subconsciously looked at her daughter.

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"I'm not afraid of water, but I need to see if the boat is stable."

Zhao Lei immediately said, "Teacher Ling'er, do you even need to evaluate the bamboo raft?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"It's better to take a look before you sit down than to regret it afterward."

Zhao Lei paused for two seconds, then nodded seriously.

I dare not refute that statement.

In the afternoon, the production crew arrived at the Luxi River Wharf.

The river water is very green.

The Danxia cliffs stand upright on both sides of the river, and the red rock walls and the blue water surface look like a painting.

Rows of bamboo rafts were moored along the dock.

The children were very excited when they put on their life jackets.

Zhao Mengmeng raised her little hand.

"Mom, I look like a little yellow duck."

Bai Sisi smiled and helped her button it up.

Zhou Xiaoyu was a little nervous, so Zhou Chen squatted down to comfort her.

"It's okay, Dad's here."

After putting on the life jacket, Chen Doudou's first question was, "Will this affect my eating?"

Lin Jia: "..."

Shen Ling'er looked down to check the buttons on her life jacket.

Yang Mi had already fastened it for her.

She pulled it herself again.

"It's fastened."

Seeing her carefully checking, Zhao Lei immediately looked down and checked his own life jacket as well.

Bai Sisi asked with a smile, "Why are you so self-aware?"

Zhao Lei lowered his voice.

"I'm afraid that Teacher Ling'er will find out that I'm a water hazard in a little while."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"You are not at risk right now."

"You did a decent job this time."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up.

"Preliminary safety assessment for water safety has been passed!"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"But don't turn around and talk to the camera when you get on the bamboo raft."

"If you slip and fall, even a life jacket won't save you face."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"A life jacket won't save you face, hahaha!"

"Zhao Lei is now being prevented from falling by Ling'er."

"Ling'er checked the bamboo raft before boarding; it's very stable."

"She really always prioritizes safety when she goes anywhere."

The bamboo raft operator was a dark-skinned middle-aged man surnamed Wu.

Master Wu greeted everyone with a smile and invited them to board the raft.

"Don't be afraid, sit tight, and don't put your hands in the water."

Before boarding the bamboo raft, Shen Ling'er examined the bamboo joints, the ropes, and the water level.

Mr. Wu noticed her gaze and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what are you looking at?"

Shen Ling'er answered seriously: "Check if the bamboo is cracked, if the rope is loose, and how deep the water is."

Mr. Wu was taken aback.

"Oh, you know about this?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"I don't really understand. It's just something people sit on, so I'll see if it falls apart first."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi: "..."

Master Wu paused for two seconds, then burst into laughter.

"That's right. When it comes to things that people sit on, the first thing to check is whether they'll fall apart."

He patted the bamboo raft.

"Don't worry, this raft is checked every day, it's very stable."

Shen Ling'er glanced at it again and nodded.

"It's actually not bad. The third bamboo stalk on the left is a bit old, but it doesn't bear the main load, so it's fine."

Master Wu's laughter suddenly stopped.

He looked down at the third bamboo stalk on the left.

Then his expression changed instantly.

"This one is indeed old. It was just moved to the side a couple of days ago. We don't use it in the main position."

Zhao Lei suddenly looked at Shen Ling'er.

"You can tell from that?"

Shen Ling'er said, "The colors are different, and the wear and tear on the bamboo joints is also different."

"The color of new and old bamboo will change after soaking in water, but the surface of old bamboo will be softer and the reflection will be different."

Master Wu immediately gave a thumbs up.

"That kid has a sharp eye."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"I'm not a sharp eye, I just observe carefully."

Master Wu smiled even more broadly.

"Yes, I looked very carefully."

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Even the bamboo raft operators at Longhu Mountain were stunned!"

"You can tell the third bamboo stalk from the left is older?"

"She checked the structure before getting on the bamboo raft; that's so clever of her."

"Check if things that people sit on will fall apart first. This is a simple but very true saying."

The bamboo raft slowly drifted away from the shore.

The surface of the Luxi River is very calm. With a gentle push of the bamboo pole, the bamboo raft slowly glides forward with the current.

The mountain walls on both sides are reflected in the water, and the wind blows by, carrying a slightly damp coolness.

The children were a little nervous at first, but they quickly relaxed.

Zhao Mengmeng whispered, "So beautiful."

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded as well.

"The water is green."

Looking at the water, Chen Doudou asked earnestly, "Are there any fish here?"

Master Wu laughed and said, "Yes, but you can't catch them."

Chen Doudou nodded regretfully.

"Then they are safe."

Zhao Lei couldn't help but laugh.

"DouDou has her own understanding of the food chain."

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, looking at the mountain walls on both sides of the river.

She watched for a while, then suddenly asked Master Wu.

"Are those holes the hanging coffins?"

Mr. Wu was taken aback.

"You can tell?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to several small black holes on the cliff face in the distance.

"The cave entrance is located very high up, and there are no roads nearby, unlike ordinary caves."

"You just said there are hanging coffins here, so that must be over there."

Master Wu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, that's the site of the hanging coffins."

Zhao Lei immediately switched to science popularization mode.

"Dear viewers, the hanging coffins of Longhu Mountain are also a very famous sight. It is said that the ancients placed the coffins on the cliffs, and there are still many mysteries surrounding them to this day..."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You don't need to sound so mysterious."

"Children will think that something is about to jump out of there."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi smiled and hugged Zhao Mengmeng tightly.

"Indeed, Mengmeng was nervous just now."

Shen Ling'er looked at Zhao Mengmeng and explained earnestly.

"That's where the ancients laid to rest their loved ones, not a place to frighten people."

"You see it as tall because they feel it's safe and dignified to place it there."

Zhao Mengmeng nodded after listening.

"Then I'm not afraid anymore."

Master Wu was taken aback.

"That's a good way of putting it, kid."

Shen Ling'er continued, "People in ancient times didn't always do things to scare people who came after them."

"Often, it's because they felt it was good for the important people in the relationship at the time."

There was a moment of silence on the bamboo raft.

Zhao Lei wanted to respond, but he held back this time.

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You were more patient today than yesterday."

Zhao Lei whispered, "I don't need to respond to that."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"You can graduate from the Longhu Mountain arc as well."

Zhao Lei nodded earnestly.

The comments started scrolling down slowly.

"Her explanation of the hanging coffins was so gentle."

"It's not a scary place; it's where the ancients laid their loved ones to rest."

"Ling'er is really good at pulling children out of their fear."

"She's usually so harsh on Zhao Lei, but she's really meticulous when explaining things to the kids."

The bamboo raft continued forward.

The breeze is getting more and more comfortable.

Suddenly, Master Wu pointed to the water ahead and said, "There's a bend ahead, everyone hold on tight."

Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight.

Shen Ling'er looked at the water flow and then at the location of the bamboo raft ahead.

"Uncle Wu, it will be safer to move to the right after that raft passes by."

Mr. Wu was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er said, "The bamboo raft in front just turned around, and the water is still swaying."

"If you move closer now, you'll encounter small waves it creates."

"There are many children here. Although they can't flip over, they will wobble a little, which might scare Mengmeng and Xiaoyu."

Master Wu looked at the water ahead, his expression turning serious.

He nodded.

"Yes, the raft just passed by, the water isn't level yet."

As he spoke, he didn't rush to push off with the bamboo pole, but waited a moment.

Once the ripples in front of them dispersed, they slowly steered the bamboo raft into the bend.

The bamboo raft was indeed very stable, hardly swaying at all.

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled happily.

"I'm not afraid at all."

Master Wu looked at Shen Ling'er and couldn't help but sigh.

"Little friend, your eyes and your brain are really amazing."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "It's not that it's amazing. The water is moving, the boat is moving, and the people sitting on it are also moving."

"Wait a minute, then shake it less."

Zhao Lei slowly turned to the camera.

"Dear viewers, Teacher Ling'er has completed the safe dispatching of the bamboo raft on the Luxi River."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You can say, 'Let's wait until the water settles before we leave.'"

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"Yes, let's wait until the water level stabilizes before we leave."

The barrage of comments exploded again.

"Wait until the water settles before leaving, this is too clever of you."

"She even looks at the ripples on the water when the bamboo raft goes around a bend."

"After she reminded him, Master Wu really made sure things were going smoothly."

"This child doesn't possess a particular skill; she simply looks at the structure and changes in every situation first."

"Is the person behind the scenes teaching observation skills or cheat codes?"

After the bamboo raft trip, the crew rested on the shore.

The children were still very excited.

Zhao Mengmeng said she wanted to draw the mountain she had just seen.

Zhou Xiaoyu said the water was beautiful.

Chen Doudou then asked earnestly, "Will riding a bamboo raft be physically demanding?"

Lin Jia: "..."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Yes. You were sitting very upright and using your legs a lot, so it will be a little more tiring than sitting in a car."

Chen Doudou immediately became serious.

"Then I need to add something."

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Dou Dou, all you've been saying is that you're hungry."

Chen Doudou nodded.

"right."

Shen Ling'er looked at the director.

"Don't have dinner too late. The kids will definitely be hungry after the bamboo raft ride."

The director immediately looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director lowered his head to take notes.

Dinner will be arranged before the bamboo raft ride.

Zhao Lei looked on with a deep sense of emotion.

"Director, you're really Ling'er's logistics system now."

The director said earnestly, "What she said is basically correct."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"You're more like a good director now."

The director's eyes lit up.

"Thanks."

Zhao Lei muttered a complaint under his breath.

"The director is really easy to please now."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"the same as you."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

That evening.

As expected, the first day of the Longhu Mountain episode's live stream ended, and it immediately became a trending topic again.

#Shen Ling'er's Talisman Drawing at Longhu Mountain Receives Certification from a Taoist Priest#

#Shen Ling'er sees the problem of ancient tree protection#

#Shen Ling'er inspects the old bamboo on the bamboo raft#

#Wait until the water level stabilizes before leaving#

#Zhao Lei's Celestial Master's Mansion Bass Mode#

The online comments section became incredibly lively.

"I thought the Longhu Mountain episode would be a normal tourist trip, but Ling'er has once again shocked the locals."

"The part about drawing talismans was really outrageous. The Taoist priest went from coaxing a child to taking it seriously in just half a talisman."

"She doesn't look at the paper when she examines the talisman, she looks at the hand. That's amazing."

"The section about the ancient tree is also very thin; she can even see when tourists step on the roots."

"The bamboo raft operator was amused when she spotted the old bamboo; it cracked me up."

"Wait until the water settles before leaving, that sounds like a bit of a philosophy of life."

"Ling'er is still the same Ling'er; even a relaxing trip can send chills down your spine."

"Zhao Lei has really improved these past two days; at least he knows to speak softly in the Celestial Master's Mansion."

The hotel room.

After taking a bath, Shen Ling'er sat on the bed and carefully put the red rope she had received that day and the talisman she had drawn into her bag.

Yang Mi helped her straighten her clothes and asked with a smile, "How was Longhu Mountain today?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the food is alright."

"The Taoist priest's hand is very steady when he writes, and the bamboo raft uncle is also very steady when he poles the boat."

Yang Mi smiled.

"The rating is quite high."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"A stable person makes you worry-free."

Yang Mi couldn't help but ask, "What about Uncle Zhao Lei?"

Shen Ling'er thought about it seriously.

"He was a bit more composed than before today, but we can't let him go too far."

Yang Mi: "..."

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In the next room.

Zhao Lei is looking at the trending topics on his phone.

Upon seeing the post about "Zhao Lei's Celestial Master's Mansion in bass mode," he remained silent for a few seconds before quietly posting a message on his WeChat Moments.

[On the first day at Longhu Mountain, Teacher Shen Ling'er commented: I'm a bit more composed than before.]

Bai Sisi saw this and couldn't stop laughing.

"Why did you even send this message?"

Zhao Lei was very serious.

"This is already proof of progress."

Bai Sisi asked, "What about 'not putting it too far away'?"

Zhao Lei immediately put down his phone.

"You don't need to send that sentence."

The night wind blew past the window.

The silhouette of Longhu Mountain in the distance rose and fell quietly in the night.

Shen Ling'er lay down in bed, and before closing her eyes, she didn't forget to give Yang Mi some instructions.

"Mom, if we're going hiking again tomorrow, we need to eat hot breakfast."

"You won't be able to walk if you're on an empty stomach while hiking."

Yang Mi tucked the blanket around her gently.

"I know, Mom will make arrangements in advance."

Shen Ling'er nodded in satisfaction.

"That's fine."

She closed her eyes.

She fell asleep soon after.

The online buzz continues to rise.

The next morning.

The fog on Longhu Mountain has not completely dissipated yet.

Outside the hotel window, the distant mountains appeared veiled in a thin gauze, their green outlines faintly visible.

Today's program includes a mountain climb and a Taoist cultural experience.

But because we had children, the route wasn't too difficult. We only walked a relatively gentle mountain path before going to a small Taoist temple to listen to the Taoist priest talk about "Tao follows nature" and some health tips.

As soon as Zhao Lei arrived at the restaurant, he glanced at the breakfast area.

Plain congee, rice noodles, eggs, steamed buns, hot soy milk, and local mixed rice noodles.

He nodded in satisfaction immediately.

"Director, this time it's okay."

"It's hot."

"Rich."

"It contains carbohydrates."

"It contains protein."

The director sat beside him, looking serious.

"This arrangement was made based on Teacher Ling'er's suggestion last night."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

"The director is really starting to resemble a logistics manager more and more."

Shen Ling'er was led into the restaurant by Yang Mi.

She was wearing a light blue jacket today, her hair was tied in a small bun, and her face still had a slightly aloof look, as if she had just woken up.

Zhao Lei immediately lowered his voice.

"Good morning, Teacher Ling'er."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"The voice is suitable."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up.

"I passed the test right on the first day?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"temporary."

Zhao Lei immediately straightened his back, but this time he didn't shout. He just whispered to Bai Sisi:

"I've got it."

Shen Ling'er sat down next to Yang Mi and slowly added:

"Every time you feel you're in control, that's when you usually start to feel unstable."

Zhao Lei: "..."

A burst of laughter erupted at the dining table.

Chen Doudou brought over a bowl of rice noodles, her eyes shining.

"This powder is edible."

Lin Jia said helplessly, "Breakfast was originally meant for you."

Chen Doudou nodded earnestly.

"Then it's very useful."

Shen Ling'er glanced at his bowl.

"Don't pour all the chili peppers in yet."

Chen Doudou had a meal.

Why?

Shen Ling'er said, "You ate braised chicken with chestnuts last night and drank two glasses of water."

"If I eat too much spicy food in the morning while hiking today, I'll keep wanting to drink water along the way, and my stomach will start to rumble."

Chen Doudou immediately put down the chili spoon.

"Then I'll put in less."

Lin Jia smiled and patted his head.

"Ling'er's persuasion was more effective than mine."

Zhao Lei immediately whispered to the camera:

"Dear viewers, this is the first lesson of the second day at Longhu Mountain: Don't let DouDou eat too much spicy food before climbing the mountain."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You could say, 'Don't let kids eat anything too spicy before they go hiking.'"

Zhao Lei immediately changed his tune.

"Don't let kids eat anything too spicy before hiking."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This line can be broadcast."

The live chat was already buzzing with activity.

"Hahaha, this line can be broadcast!"

"Teacher Ling'er is now not only a guest commentator, but also in charge of optimizing the program's language."

"DouDou's judgment on food always needs Ling'er's second review."

"Zhao Lei is in bass mode all day."

"The director's logistics manager is confirmed."

After breakfast, the production crew set off.

The air is very fresh at the foot of the mountain.

The stone steps were damp, and water droplets clung to the leaves of the trees nearby.

Director Xu stood at the front, smiling as he reminded everyone.

"The mountain path isn't difficult today, but everyone should still walk slowly."

"Children, don't run."

"Don't step on the moss-covered stone steps."

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"receive."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't just nod; you have to do it too later."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi said with a smile, "Ling'er no longer believes in verbal promises."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Because Uncle Zhao Lei nods faster than he executes."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"Teacher Ling'er, this assessment is accurate, but it's hurtful."

Shen Ling'er said, "Accuracy is more important."

Everyone laughed and walked up the mountain.

It was very quiet on both sides of the mountain road.

Occasionally, you can hear birds chirping, and you can also hear the sound of a stream in the distance.
