Chapter 97: Chapter 96: It’s Like Something is Following Behind

"Oh, is this the famous Little Auntie from the internet?" Yi Min said with a smile, squatting down to speak to Mianmian, "Little Auntie is so cute. Come on, uncle will take you to pick some pomegranates."

Mianmian looked at the malevolent force in Yi Min’s brow and shook her head: "Mianmian doesn’t want to eat pomegranates right now."

Yi Min didn’t mind: "Hahaha, no problem, then come with uncle to see the place he has arranged for you all to stay."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and went to greet the other guests, squatting down to talk with each child, appearing approachable.

Gu Youyou actually liked pomegranates and, hearing the invitation to pick them, was tempted. She quietly asked Liu Hui, "Mom, can we go pick pomegranates?"

Liu Hui had heard Mianmian speaking earlier and, after thinking for a moment, told Youyou, "Let’s wait for Director Hu’s arrangement, Youyou. There’s no rush if you want to eat pomegranates."

Gu Youyou, hearing Liu Hui’s refusal, obediently nodded: "Okay then, can I go play with Mianmian now?"

Liu Hui nodded: "Go ahead."

Gu Youyou then walked over to Mianmian and took her hand.

Wang Ze saw this and hurriedly shook off Xu Weiwei and ran to Mianmian’s side.

Mianmian looked at her two little friends, feeling a bit worried.

She glanced over at the Yin siblings, standing a short distance away, and blinked her eyes.

Ying Fang noticed Mianmian looking at them and took the initiative to walk over: "Mianmian."

Mianmian looked up: "Ying Fang, Ying Miao, you have to play with all of us, okay?"

Ying Fang sharply sensed something was off.

Previously, Mianmian had not said such words and simply let them, the two siblings, be. He nodded his head, stepped back to Ying Miao’s side, and their emotionless eyes, even under the illusion, swept across the villagers.

The two siblings were zombies, lacking the Heavenly Eye, but being evil beings, they were naturally sensitive to dark Qi, killing intent, and malevolent auras.

After scanning around, they had a hunch.

The villagers here were all not right!

Ying Fang patted his sister’s shoulder and stepped back to look for the bodyguards arranged by Su Chenjin. He had said he would protect Mianmian, so after knowing that these people were sent by Su Chenjin to protect Mianmian, he had already actively communicated with the Bodyguard Leader.

This time, he took the initiative to find the Bodyguard Leader, who was also vigilant and proactively moved to a spot far away from the filming to talk with Ying Fang.

After a brief communication, the Bodyguard Leader understood and issued orders to his subordinates through the walkie-talkie.

Having finished speaking with the Bodyguard Leader, Ying Fang started looking for the Wolf Demon Bai Bai.

He knew the Wolf Demon Bai Bai was also mischievous. In such a situation, it was better to communicate with Bai Bai, but the helicopter was already missing Bai Bai’s figure.

The restlessly seated Wolf Demon had already entered the village with Big Yellow and Little Yellow, swaggering in.

"Alright, everyone, follow me to the house to drop off your luggage. We’ll rest for a bit before discussing today’s task," Director Hu smiled, "Didn’t we allocate houses earlier? I specially had the village chief prepare similar houses for you all. Let’s continue to stay according to the previous ranking."

Upon hearing this, Mianmian frowned and, after thinking for a bit, suggested proactively: "But that was the result of the previous competition, and now that we are in a new place, let’s switch it up. Let’s stay together just like before, shall we?"

She looked up at Director Hu, her round, glistening eyes unusually stubborn.

Director Hu was taken aback: "Okay, then let me think about the content, and we’ll have another competition."

Only then did Mianmian smile: "Great, another competition would be best."

At Mianmian’s request, the guests all moved into a three-story house.

As soon as Mianmian entered, she ran up and down.

"Mianmian, why are we running around everywhere?" Gu Youyou asked curiously.

Wang Ze also watched Mianmian, wanting to know what she was up to.

Chu Ye observed quietly, his gaze ceaselessly taking in every detail of the house’s furnishings.

"Mianmian wants to take a tour, and also show the audience the house," Mianmian explained, continuing to patter about, looking through each room thoroughly.

After ensuring there was nothing wrong with any room, she added: "Mianmian also wants to visit the village. Do you want to come along? If not, just stay here."

Wang Ze and Gu Youyou quickly shook their heads.

Joking aside, staying here or going on a visit with Mianmian, of course, the visit is the better choice!

So, six little buns, followed by their bodyguards, stepped out and wandered around the village.

The ones who had come to meet the plane were all young men; no children or women were seen.

It was during this visit that Mianmian saw the figures of children and women.

They were all at their own doorsteps, either washing clothes or vegetables, with children playing beside their mothers. Each family had at least two children, girls would help their mothers with the work, while boys played on the ground by themselves.

Some of the children noticed Mianmian and the other unfamiliar kids and curiously stood at their doorways to watch.

The women at work seemed numb, with no particular expression, giving a glance before continuing with their tasks.

"What are you guys up to?" Yi Min came out of a house and asked Mianmian curiously.

With a milky voice, Mianmian replied, "We’re visiting."

"Is that so?" Yi Min smiled, "Visiting is good. Although our village is a bit remote, the architectural planning is still quite nice. The residents have mostly built small buildings and are striving for a better life. The internet has just been connected, and it was quite the effort."

"The village chief didn’t lie; the village is indeed clean and tidy. It also feels more populated than the previous village we visited."

"The village is lively, that’s true. But don’t you find it strange? Why were all the people who came to pick us up men, with no women in sight?"

"Now that you mention it, I also recall that during Little Auntie’s visit, I didn’t see any elders or the chatty women that every village seems to have."

"Now that you guys mention it, I also find it odd."

"Is it just me, or is the live-stream really choppy? The footage isn’t smooth at all."

"The village is quite remote so the signal coverage isn’t strong. It’s normal."

Sitting in front of the monitor, Director Hu also noticed the live-stream footage stuttering occasionally. Unperturbed, he cheerfully called Su Chenjin.

"My dear nephew, could you send some people over? The live-stream signal here isn’t very good, it’s affecting the broadcast quite a bit."

On the other end, it was Su Chenjin’s assistant who answered the call, replying directly, "We’ve already sent out people to set up signal boosters, Director Hu, don’t worry."

With Su Chenjin’s assurance, Director Hu felt relieved and continued to monitor the screens.

"So, does Little Auntie want to eat pomegranates now? Uncle can take you to pick them." Yi Min invited again.

Mianmian nodded, "Sure, let’s go pick pomegranates then."

The little buns lined up, following Yi Min towards the outskirts of the village.

The Bodyguard Leader immediately arranged for five bodyguards to follow behind Mianmian.

The pomegranate trees in the village were on the western side, where there was a garden. Every pomegranate on the trees was so red it looked like it could drip blood, and the trees were laden with fruit.

Yi Min picked a few and handed them over, "Here, Uncle is treating you."

The pomegranates that were picked were almost as big as a child’s head.

Gu Youyou hugged the pomegranate to her chest, thinking of the taste, she smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."

Yi Min continued handing them out, and when it was Mianmian’s turn, Chu Ye took the pomegranate, "I’ll hold it for her."

Neither Wang Ze nor Gu Youyou had anticipated someone would actually help carry the pomegranates, and frowned unhappily.

Yi Min: "Hahaha, the little fella is quite helpful, eh? Alright, now that we’ve picked the pomegranates, do you want to see more of our Pomegranate Garden?"

Mianmian nodded, "Mhm, I’d like to see more."

So, Yi Min led Mianmian through the Pomegranate Garden.

"Our pomegranates are cultivated with special fertilizer. The composition of the fertilizer is a village secret, but I can assure you that the pomegranates are very sweet, and once you’ve tried them, you’ll definitely like them. I see that live-streaming sales are popular online these days, I wonder if we could get Director Hu’s help, and you could boost our sales figures. It’s quite troublesome for us to distribute the pomegranates when they’re ripe."

Every sentence from Yi Min was for the sake of the village, making him seem like a hardworking and good village chief. Yet, standing behind Yi Min, Mianmian quietly covered her face with her little hand, her eyes conveying discomfort.

There was something not quite right about the entire Pomegranate Garden.

She looked at the flat, large stones scattered on the ground, and through her Heavenly Eye, saw a surging Dark Qi. Not only that, as they walked along, there was an eerie rustling sound from behind, as if something was following them.
