After a simple breakfast, everyone gathered together and listened to the host announce today's tasks.

"Dear guests, as the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Your task today is very simple, which is to collect food from the small green hill next to you for today's dinner."

Although Su Xiaomeng already knew through the system that they were going to climb a mountain today, when she heard that they could wander around in the mountains all day, she was so happy that she jumped up and grabbed Su Yu's arm.

"Great! I love mountain climbing. Sister, let's get going. Let's go pick mushrooms and wild fruits together, and we can also dig traps to catch rabbits."

Su Yu also looked very happy on the surface, but deep in her eyes, there was a deep sense of vigilance.

Su Yu will never forget that in her previous life, Su Xiaomeng got involved and rolled down the mountain. As a "murderer" in the eyes of others, her reputation was ruined and she suffered torture.

"Sister, don't be so anxious," Su Yu held Su Xiaomeng, "The mountain is very dangerous. There may be poisonous snakes in the grass and wild boars in the woods. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid them, all kinds of poisonous insects and mosquitoes are still very dangerous."

Su Xinghui was also worried that Su Xiaomeng and Su Yu, two little girls of seven or eight years old, would encounter danger if they went into the mountains like this, so he immediately spoke up.

"The production team didn't say that we would be separated for this mission. Mengmeng, Xiaoyu, let's go into the mountains together. It will be safer this way."

Yi Xing joined in the fun and grabbed the corner of Yi Yan's clothes tightly: "Brother, brother, I want to play with Sister Xiao Meng too."

"Well," Du Hongzhuo hesitated for a moment in order to complete the task assigned by the mysterious man, and then spoke up, "I learned how to run in the mountains and how to collect mountain products in order to film a movie."

"If you don't mind, we can go up the mountain together."

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

When Su Xinghui heard this, he looked at Du Hongzhuo with a hint of suspicion.

Su Xiaomeng didn't think so much. She jumped up and down, laughing and shouting, "Let's go together! Let's go together! It's more fun when there are more people."

Su Xinghui hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to disturb Su Xiaomeng's interest, but in the end he did not stop her and agreed to the others' request to go with her.

In this way, eight guests, plus cameramen, doctors, and logistics personnel, a large group of people came to the back mountain and went straight in along the path trampled by the villagers.

Du Hongzhuo noticed Su Xinghui's vigilance towards him. In order to avoid becoming the biggest suspect if something happened later, he did not rush to approach Su Xiaomeng, but lingered on the edge, looking for an opportunity.

Soon, the opportunity came.

Because of her congenital heart disease, Su Xiaomeng seldom goes out, let alone goes hiking.

The first time Su Xiaomeng went into the mountains, everything she saw was very new. A wild flower or a cluster of wild mushrooms could attract her attention.

"Sister, this mushroom is so beautiful, let's pick it back."

"No way!" Su Yu quickly pulled Su Xiaomeng back, "The prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. This mushroom is so beautiful, it must be poisonous."

Du Hongzhuo came over quietly, pretending to be an experienced person, and shook his head gently: "Little sister, you are wrong. It doesn't mean that all beautiful mushrooms are poisonous, nor does it mean that all gray mushrooms are edible."

"This cluster is the flower-faced shiitake mushroom. Although it looks beautiful, it is not poisonous at all. On the contrary, it is nutritious and delicious."

As he spoke, Du Hongzhuo took out his mobile phone and showed the picture of a gray, disc-shaped mushroom in front of the camera.

"This is Amanita gracilis. Don't be fooled by its unprepossessing appearance. It is extremely poisonous. Just a small piece the size of a thumb can kill an adult."

"So if you don't have enough knowledge and encounter mushrooms in the wild, stay as far away from them as possible."

After Su Xinghui found out that Du Hongzhuo was deliberately stealing the spotlight, instead of getting angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Su family is not short of money, and they have never thought of letting Su Xiaomeng and Su Yu make their debut through this. They arranged for them to participate in this variety show just to fulfill Su Xiaomeng's wish.

Du Hongzhuo deliberately tried to steal the spotlight and wanted traffic, so just let him do it. It happened that Su Xiaomeng performed too well and had great variety show sense. Su Xinghui was still worried that if she really became famous, it would have a bad impact on her future life.

After Du Hongzhuo finished talking about mushrooms in front of the camera, he enthusiastically introduced the wild fruits that can be eaten in the mountains in this season. He personally went to the side to pick a large bunch of wild fruits and distributed them to each guest.

"This is a pear. People usually call it a wild pear or a mountain pear. It tastes sweet and sour. You can try it."

Su Xiaomeng took the pear and tried to stuff it into her mouth, but Su Yu stopped her immediately: "Sister, it's been exposed to the wind and sun, and there's dust all over it. Let me wash it for you before you eat it."

As he spoke, Su Yu took out a water bottle from his backpack, picked out a particularly large, emerald green pear, and began to wash it carefully.

After washing it clean, Su Yu was very considerate and wiped it dry with a handkerchief before handing it to Su Xiaomeng.

When this scene was broadcast through the live broadcast room, a large number of internet trolls immediately jumped out and started to lead the rhythm.

[I said the Su family was biased. She was obviously a real daughter, but she was like a servant in front of the fake one.]

[This is really too much of a bully. Not to mention that Su Yu is related to them by blood, even if she is not, an ordinary child shouldn't be like this! ]

[The Su family is biased, and the products produced by their company are not much better. Let's boycott the Su family and unscrupulous companies together! ]

It’s not that no one tried to refute, but the other side had more people and more power, and instantly suppressed all other voices.

[Everything looks dirty to a person with dirty eyes! Isn't this just a simple elder sister taking care of her younger sister? It's not as extreme as you say. ]

[Weren't they both born on the same day? It's still unclear who is the older sister and who is the younger sister! ]

Jiang Xiuya was worried and anxious that Su Xiaomeng would be influenced by online public opinion. She wanted to stop the live broadcast, but was stopped by Su Hanhai.

"Wife, if we stop now, we'll fall into their trap. They'll think we're guilty, which will only confirm our bias towards Meng Meng."

"I understand what you said, husband," Jiang Xiuya's face became uglier, "but cyberbullying is so terrible that even adults can't handle it. Su Xiaomeng and the others are just children!"

Su Hanhai raised his hand and hugged Jiang Xiuya tightly in his arms: "Don't be afraid, I believe Mengmeng, she is not that kind of selfish child, she will not really treat Xiaoyu as a servant, you just sit here and watch her actions."

Before she finished her words, Su Xiaomeng held up the pear that Su Yu had just washed and put it to her mouth.

"Sister, you eat first, I can wash it myself."

Su Yu had never thought that Su Xiaomeng would be so easily fooled. Seeing that she saw through his plan so easily, he remained calm and waved his hand.

"Sister, I'm not hungry, just eat it yourself."

Su Yu's words brought back some unpleasant memories for Su Xiaomeng. More than a year ago, his second brother brought back several oranges after filming a movie and invited him to eat them together. He seemed to have said the same thing.

At that time, Su Xiaomeng didn't care. After all, the Su family had never lacked good things, and there was no such thing as elders giving good things to the younger generations like in ordinary families. She thought Su Xinghui was really not hungry.

Then, Su Xiaomeng was caught off guard. She peeled open the orange and took a big bite. Afterwards, it was so sour that tears came out.

In order to avoid being hit again, Su Xiaomeng grabbed the water bottle, found a big pear tree, washed it quickly, and then forced it into Su Yu's arms.

"One for each of us. This is fair. Sister, if you don't want to eat it, I won't eat it either."

At this point, Su Yu had no choice but to pick up the pear and take a light bite.

Su Xiaomeng was worried that this fruit would be the same as the oranges her second brother gave her. After watching Su Yu eat it, she looked at her expectantly, "Sister, is this pear delicious?"

It was not yet the time for the pear trees to ripen in this season. Su Yu took a bite and it tasted sour, astringent and extremely bitter.

But in order to maintain her image in front of the camera and to trick Su Xiaomeng, Su Yu forced a smile: "It's sweet and delicious."

Su Xiaomeng then opened her mouth with relief, picked up the pear, and took a big bite.

"Wow! So sour! So bitter! Not sweet at all! As expected, sister, you are such a bad guy, just like my second brother, you are lying to me!"

Seeing Su Xiaomeng's tearful look, Su Yu quickly explained: "Sister, I really didn't lie to you. My fruit is really sweet, especially sweet. If you don't believe me, try mine."

Du Hongzhuo also came over to explain: "Wild fruits are like this. Because of different degrees of maturity, some are sour and some are sweet. For example, the one in Xiaomeng's hand is relatively small and still green, which means it is not ripe yet and is slightly sour."

"This one in Su Yu's hand is already ripe, the sour taste has weakened, and it is sweeter."

"Really?" Su Xiaomeng took the pear from Su Yu's hand doubtfully and took a small bite tentatively.

The familiar sour feeling broke out in her mouth again. Su Xiaomeng threw Tang Lizi to the ground, ran to Su Yu, waved her little fist and started hitting her chest.

"Wow, sister is bullying me! Sister, you are such a liar. You are such a bitter pear, not sweet at all."

Earlier, Su Yu helped Su Xiaomeng wash fruits, and the Internet troops in the live broadcast room took advantage of this to stir up trouble. Now, Su Xiaomeng directly hit people, and those Internet troops calmed down instead.

[What about those guys who were shouting that the Su family was partial and made their biological daughter serve as a servant to their adopted daughter? Why don’t they speak out? ]

[Su Yu was not humbly serving Su Xiaomeng before. It was obvious that he found that the pears were not ripe yet and was ready to take the opportunity to trick his sister. ]

[Hahahaha! This is so cute! I was the one who tricked my brother in the first place, and Mengmeng was tricked twice in a row! ]

[Meng Meng was very smart. She deliberately chose a pear of the same size as Su Yu. Unfortunately, Su Yu's acting skills were better. She was so sour but she pretended to be fine.]

In the beginning, Su Yu's behavior was really too humble. As she tricked Su Xiaomeng into eating sour wild fruits twice, the momentum of the previous rumors was temporarily suppressed.

A child's temper comes and goes quickly.

With Su Yu's proactive apology and other people coming to speak well of her, the matter was put behind them.

The group continued walking up the mountain and unknowingly entered the depths of the dense forest. At this time, the road became increasingly blurred and was gradually covered by wild grass that grew wildly.

Du Hongzhuo picked up a long dead branch at random, and while beating the weeds on both sides of the road, he gave everyone an earnest warning.

"There may be wolves in the mountains and poisonous snakes in the grass, so everyone must pay attention to safety."

Although Su Xinghui had already arranged for people to clean up, he did not relax his vigilance just in case. Instead, he silently held a flying knife and silently protected Su Xiaomeng and Su Yu, ready to take action at any time.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred until everyone reached the top of the mountain.

Because he had been working hard to explain, Du Hongzhuo vaguely became the leader. He stood under the ancient pine on the top of the mountain, looking back at the other guests, his face becoming more and more amiable.

"We've been climbing for so long, and everyone is tired. I see there are a lot of delicious food around. Why don't we just have lunch at the top of the mountain?"

"Sure, sure!" Su Xiaomeng was the first to say, "I love picnics the most. Grandpa Du, what are we going to eat? Is there anything I can help with?"

Du Hongzhuo was delighted, but in order to avoid suspicion, he waved his hand first: "No, Mengmeng, you are still young, sit here and have a good rest, we will prepare it."

Su Xiaomeng put her hands on her hips and tried to straighten her chest, trying to make herself look taller. "Grandpa Du, I'm seven years old. I'm not a child anymore! I can help you!"

Du Hongzhuo did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Su Xinghui and gave him a questioning look.

This program was just for the purpose of accompanying Su Xiaomeng out for fun, and Su Xinghui didn't want to disturb her enthusiasm. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and agreed to her request.

Du Hongzhuo pretended to be embarrassed: "You can help me if you want. I just saw a bush with many wild fruits that can be used as seasoning. You and Xiaoyu can go pick some together."

Then, Du Hongzhuo turned his head and looked at Su Yu: "Xiaoyu, there are some thorns on the flowers. Please keep an eye on your sister and don't let her get pricked by them."

"Don't worry," Su Yu patted his chest and assured, "I will definitely protect my sister."

Su Xiaomeng turned her head and pouted: "Who needs your protection! I'm super smart and will never be pricked by the thorns."

It was obvious that Su Xiaomeng still had some resentment towards Su Yu because of how Su Yu had betrayed her before.

Su Yu pretended to care, but her words were full of thorns: "Sister, I'm not afraid that you will be pricked by the thorns. I'm afraid that you will be greedy and eat wild fruits secretly, and then you will cry because of the sourness!"

"Sister, you are such a bad guy! You are a bully!"

Su Xiaomeng waved her little fists again and launched an attack. This time, Su Yu did not indulge her. With the advantage of his long arms, he held down her little head and easily controlled her at a safe distance.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In the live broadcast room, a lot of teasing comments floated across the screen because of the interaction between the two sisters.

After arranging work for Su Xiaomeng and her sister, Du Hongzhuo arranged new work for other guests.

Everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Du Hongzhuo observed patiently for a long time, and just found a suitable opportunity. He avoided other people and quietly approached Su Xiaomeng. Before he could take any action, Su Xiaomeng suddenly fell to the ground and rolled towards the bottom of the mountain.

Then, under Du Hongzhuo's puzzled gaze, Su Xiaomeng screamed at the top of her voice.

"Sister, why did you push me?"
