I was dressed as a vicious daughter, and the villain eavesdropped on my thoughts.

Lu Anan responded with an equally profound smile: "Thank you, Village Chief."

[No matter you are a monster or a demon, I, Old Lu, will expose your true colors! ]

Lu Yanli, who was standing aside, revealed a complex emotion of helplessness and doting on his face. What should he do? He was almost unable to accept his sister's overly rich identity changes.

After the guests selected their respective residences one by one, Director Xu cleared his throat and began to announce the next itinerary arrangements.

"Ahem, all guests can now get a set of spare clothes from the staff, and then you can follow your homeowners back to your residence. Please note that the shooting mode this time is still the same as the first episode, and it will be unmanned. All tasks are triggered in various places in the village. Please find clues to trigger the tasks and piece together the truth."

"Next, I wish you all good luck."

Having said this, Director Xu waved his sleeves and led the staff to quickly leave the village.

The guests and the villagers were left standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Mohan coughed twice, breaking the silence, "Then let's go back to our own places now?"

Gu Tingyan nodded, frowned and wiped the foam off his body, saying in an irritable tone: "Okay, let's go back and change clothes first. It's really uncomfortable to be sticky."

Upon hearing this, the others also expressed their agreement, and then followed the villagers out of the village.

Lu Anan and Lu Yanli followed the village chief, walking slowly on the path.

Along the way, there were always children surrounding the village chief, jumping and waving gestures to him.

Lu Anan looked at these children, but frowned slightly.

Why don't these kids talk?

She stared at the smiling village chief who was waving gently to the children and asked, "Village chief, why are these children silent?"

The village chief's movements hesitated slightly, and then his warm smile was replaced by an indescribable sadness.

He looked at the children around him and his voice became heavy: "Alas, the children in our village are all children with ill fortunes. A few years ago, the whole village was hit by a strange disease. Although the adults also suffered, they finally survived. However, the children had weak resistance and became more seriously ill. As a result, after the strange disease passed, the children in the village could no longer make any sound."

The village chief's eyes swept over the children one by one, and a flash of sadness flashed deep in his eyes.

Lu Anan pursed her lips tightly into a line.

[I got a strange disease and now everyone can't speak? 】

[This is so strange, is it a strange disease or poisoning? ]

[Ah, how could this happen? These kids are so miserable that they suddenly can’t speak anymore.]

[Oh my god, is there really such a disease?]

[So pitiful. Seeing them still smiling, it seems the villagers have taken good care of them.]

Just at this moment, a little boy, with a bit of shyness and timidity in his steps, slowly walked in front of Lu Anan. He hesitantly raised a bunch of wild flowers picked by the roadside, and tiptoed to put it into Lu Anan's hand.

Lu Anan's expression softened instantly. She slowly squatted down, looked at the little boy at eye level, smiled and rubbed his head, took the flowers from his hand, gently held the boy's wrist, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the flowers, I like them very much."

When the little boy heard Lu Anan's words, he lowered his head shyly, then turned and ran out, hiding behind another taller and older-looking boy, secretly watching her.

Lu Anan still maintained a squatting posture, with a barely perceptible flash of anger in her eyes. She let out a breath, suppressed the anger, took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from her pocket and placed them on her lap, gently waving at the children on the roadside.

"Come here, sister will give you some candy."

The children all hesitated and didn't dare to go over, looking at the village chief with blinking eyes.

The village chief smiled and waved his hand gently, his voice full of encouragement and kindness: "Go quickly, sister is handing out candy."

The children then smiled innocently and ran towards Lu Anan.

Lu Anan turned over the children's wrists one by one, placed the White Rabbit milk candies in their palms, and rubbed their heads until the last child got a candy.

She stood up slowly, stumbling a bit.

Lu Yanli held Lu Anan, his eyes worried, "Anan, are you okay?"

Lu Anan looked back, a slightly forced smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head gently, "It's okay, second brother, I've been squatting for too long, and my skin is a little numb."

[What's hidden here is even more cruel than I imagined. 】

Lu Yanli looked at his sister's expression and understood what was going on. He couldn't help but feel distressed, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he said, "Well, then you lean on me and take it easy."

Lu Anan nodded obediently, leaning on Lu Yanli, looking at the children with smiles on their faces, playing and eating candies happily, feeling the silent silence around them, and her heart ached.

【They should have had a better life. 】

The village chief keenly caught Lu Anan's unusual expression, his eyes moved slightly, and then he asked with concern: "Miss Lu, are you okay?"

Lu Anan raised her eyes slightly, and after briefly meeting the village chief's caring gaze, she quickly lowered her eyes to hide her cold eyes, and said slowly: "It's okay, let's go back quickly, village chief."

The village chief smiled and nodded, "Okay, then follow me."

Lu Anan exchanged a knowing look with Lu Yanli beside him, and followed the village chief in silence.

When he arrived at the village chief's house, Lu Anan thought of the rows of brand new and imposing houses that formed a sharp contrast with the slightly rugged roads around them. After thinking for a while, he asked inquiringly: "Village chief, although the transportation in the village is not very convenient, the houses of the villagers seem to be quite new and luxurious. It seems that the income of the village is not bad?"

The village chief paused for a moment as he was about to push open the door, then continued naturally with a peaceful smile on his face, "The village's income has been really good in recent years, so every household has built a new house."

Lu Yanli followed up and asked, "What is the main source of income for the village?"

The village chief looked back at the two of them, indicating that he could not help with this issue: "This should be considered your task, you may need to find it yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Anan smiled and nodded, "I see, thank you for telling me, Village Chief."

[You let us look for it ourselves. Are you really not afraid that we will find something we shouldn't find? Are you so confident? ]

[Hmm? No, they just asked for the clues so easily? ? ]

[…As expected of a younger sister, she found the difference so quickly.]

[But this village is really strange. The houses are so new, but the transportation is not convenient. Is this a remote and backward village? You can't really tell from the houses.]

[Indeed, my hometown is considered a well-off village, but it is not so luxurious.]

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Miss Lu, you are too polite."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, stood sideways, and said in a gentle voice: "Ms. Lu, Mr. Lu, please come in."
