Chapter 423: 382 Hi

The exploration team was well-coordinated in their task distribution.

Take Ning Hui, for instance, skilled in communication and with a more approachable demeanor, thus he stayed in the village to inquire about the culture and customs of the Miao ethnicity.

While Pei Yunxi followed Thomas Felton, led by the villagers, to conduct field investigations of the surrounding environment.

Usually, the group would carry some dry food and set out in the morning, not returning until the sun had set.

In the wilderness, with paths naturally difficult to traverse, even the burly men in the group complained bitterly. In contrast, international director Thomas Felton showed exceptional perseverance, constantly instructing his subordinates to take note of the scenes they might use and sometimes filming them himself, without a word of complaint.

Those who excel in their fields all have their unique points of brilliance.

Yun Xi also earned praise for her performance. As a woman, she inevitably faced natural disadvantages in physical strength, but she seldom requested breaks.

Thomas Felton noticed this.

When you are in the presence of foreigners, you represent not just yourself but your entire country.

The same principle applied here.

Thomas Felton’s appreciation for Yun Xi’s professionalism and assertiveness grew, and his overall impression of Eastern celebrities began to shift positively.

"What’s the matter?"

Ning Hui, who was learning handicrafts from the villagers, noticed the arrival of Thomas Felton’s group.

It was only around three in the afternoon, which was earlier than their usual return time, and Pei Yunxi seemed to be moving with some difficulty, hobbling along.

He hurried over and discovered that Pei Yunxi was injured, her clothes torn in several places and her palms also slightly scratched.

"We encountered a snake on the way, and Miss Pei was startled and took a fall," explained a member of the exploration team briefly.

It was true that this area was home to various wildlife, and according to the villagers, even bears were known to roam about.

Ning Hui quickly helped support Pei Yunxi.

"Please go call the doctor," he requested.

The translator relayed Thomas Felton’s words.

The villager acting as the guide ran off.

The doctors here, of course, weren’t like hospital doctors and didn’t have any medical license—it was assumed they were just more experienced and had figured out a few things on their own. They usually dealt with bruises and sprains, and for anything serious, one still needed to go to the city.

However, Pei Yunxi only had light injuries, not warranting too much concern.

The village healer prescribed her some unknown herbs, which were applied to her wounds.

Ning Hui felt this was unreliable and hesitated, "Shouldn’t we go to the city to have it checked out?"

The rest of the exploration team dared not mutter a word.

Although the injury wasn’t severe, just a superficial wound, one could not overlook that even without accounting for her treasured status, a scar on someone like Pei Yunxi would be regrettable.

Bearing in mind that celebrities rely on their appearance to make a living, some people, even for a problem that could be solved with a simple band-aid, would insist on going to the hospital for examination and treatment, which shows how much they cherish their health.

"I’ll have them prepare the car," said Thomas Felton, not taking the matter lightly, for this actress was not an ordinary artist.

"Director Felton, there’s no need. The healer said for external injuries like this, it’s how everyone in the village treats them," said Pei Yunxi, insisting on her decision.

With Pei Yunxi’s determination, Thomas Felton felt it was improper to demand otherwise.

"Then rest well, and if there’s anything, let me know immediately," he urged.

"Are you really not going to the hospital to take a look?" asked Ning Hui, still somewhat worried after Thomas Felton and the others had left, "Your knee is torn up quite badly..."

Other places weren’t too bad, but Pei Yunxi’s left knee was the most serious, probably because she was startled by the snake and fell, hitting it on the ground.

"Going to the hospital would just mean getting some medicine, it’s no big deal."

"You should stay in the village with me, and we’ll leave the location scouting and other work to Director Felton."

It was her first time working on such a big production, and wanting to prove herself is understandable.

Pei Yunxi, who likely didn’t want to be treated as just a pretty face or someone with connections, looked at her own battered self.

"In this state, I couldn’t go even if I wanted to."

Ning Hui gave a wry smile and couldn’t help but say, "If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t be working this hard."

Because of the accident, the entire inspection team temporarily stopped their fieldwork activities.

The village’s traditional remedies proved effective, and by the next day, Pei Yunxi felt much better and chatted with the villagers along with Ning Hui.

Looks are justice.

Both men and women, young and old, were very friendly to them.

"Have you talked with the head of this village?"

Pei Yunxi asked.

Ning Hui shook her head, "Not yet."

Since this place is part of an autonomous region, there’s no village chief or party secretary. The most respected person in the village is the head, but what’s unique is that this village’s head appears to be an old lady.

Suddenly.

The children circling around Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui stirred excitedly—someone mumbled something, and the children ran enthusiastically towards the entrance of the village.

"What’s happened?"

Ning Hui and Pei Yunxi exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled, and then followed curiously.

Because of her injury, Pei Yunxi walked slowly. When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a bunch of children already excitedly surrounding several motorized tricycles.

It turned out that the village made trips to the city every so often to purchase some necessities of life while also selling the vegetables, fruits, and handicrafts grown in the village.

Taking this opportunity, the people who exchanged the goods would also bring back some snacks and candy for the children.

"Ha ha, grab it fast!"

A man from the Miao ethnicity hopped off a tricycle and tossed a bag of soft candy into the air, and the children immediately began to scramble for it eagerly.

There were no electronic games here, nor a wide variety of toys, yet the smiles on these children’s faces were exceptionally brilliant and genuine.

Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui stood at a distance, watching the messy scene, and unconscious smiles appeared on their faces.

Several motorized tricycles were loaded with various supplies. As the villagers began to unload, from one of the tricycles, an unexpected guest leaped down, patting the dust off his hands.

"Thanks."

Ning Hui took an inadvertent glance and immediately froze, as though she’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Jiang, President Jiang..."

Pei Yunxi, still watching the children compete for candy, was taken aback and then, seeing Ning Hui’s strange expression, followed her gaze.

As a result.

She too seemed to have her soul snatched away, frozen on the spot.

After greeting several Miao youths, Jiang Chen, who had ridden the tricycle across mountains and rivers, looked over in their direction, his casual clothes marked with dust in visible places.

Seeing the two disoriented actresses, he grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth in the warm sunlight.

"Hi."
