The Chinese Elf's Family Rescue Adventure

Deep in the uninhabited Spring Mountain, ancient trees blocked out the sky, birds were chirping, and the mountain forest was even more secluded.

Until the rustling of footsteps sounded, and two figures appeared one after another, disturbing the peace.

Both of them were wearing black windbreakers, hiking boots, and baseball caps, looking like professional hikers. Only the bronze-gold compass in their hands seemed out of place.

The man lagging behind looked about fifty, with a pale and wide face and a chubby body.

He was leaning on his hiking stick, sweating all over his head and his legs trembling.

Finally, he couldn't help asking:

"Brother Yuan, is it really this direction?"

The man he called Brother Yuan looked younger than him, seemingly in his early forties, with a lean and strong build. It was obvious that he was well-trained. At this moment, there wasn't even much sweat on his face, and he was full of energy.

Without looking up, he was observing the track of the compass and casually replied:

"That's what the compass shows. It can't be wrong."

The chubby man pursed his lips quietly and wiped the sweat off his head.

He then asked carefully, "Brother Yuan, is there really a thousand-year-old ginseng? They say that a seven-tael ginseng is good, an eight-tael one is precious, and a nine-tael one is like a demon. A thousand-year-old ginseng... wouldn't it become an immortal?"

Brother Yuan stopped in his tracks and finally looked away from the compass, glaring coldly at the chubby man.

His voice was hoarse, like the screech of a night owl:

"What? Regretting coming into the mountain with me?"

The chubby man's face turned three shades paler in fright and he quickly waved his hands.

"No, no, no! How would I dare!"

"Dare not, doesn't mean won't."

Brother Yuan raised his eyebrows high, and his ordinary-looking facial features showed a strong hostility.

"Zhao San, I originally planned to go into the mountain to look for ginseng alone. You were the one who begged and pleaded, clinging to me and saying you'd help me. Why, it's only been a few days and you're already impatient? Regretting it?"

Stared at by Brother Yuan's cold gaze, the chubby man Zhao San felt like there was a snake wrapped around his neck and could hardly breathe. He quickly begged for mercy:

"Oh, Brother Yuan! I'm wrong! I'm really wrong! It's my lousy body that can't take it. I was out of my mind for a moment! I know you brought me into the mountain as a favor, and I'm being ungrateful. Don't be angry, Brother Yuan!"

With that, not daring to delay, he slapped himself several times, left and right, on the face, and his already chubby face became even more swollen and red.

Brother Yuan was finally satisfied.

He sneered and dropped a sentence: "Complain again and go back!"

"Hey... hey!"

Zhao San, with a swollen face like a pig's head, trotted to catch up, and his legs seemed to have more strength.

But in his heart, he was secretly moaning —

A thousand-year-old ginseng?

If there really was such a thing, it would have been snatched up by the powerful and wealthy a hundred years ago. Would it be their turn?

Nowadays, it's the end of the Dharma era. It's hard to even find a wild spirit with intelligence, let alone this thousand-year-old ginseng favored by the heavens like in the legend!

It was also because he had a few drinks and got hot-headed. Thinking that this mysterious Brother Yuan was really capable, he wanted to tag along and get some benefits.

As a result, they had been wandering around in this Spring Mountain for ten days or half a month!

Forget about getting benefits, he was about to eat grass now!

"Zhao San."

"Hey! Coming!"

Zhao San put on a flattering smile and caught up in two or three steps, asking what Brother Yuan wanted.

Brother Yuan put the compass into his backpack and frowned:

"We can't keep looking aimlessly. We're outsiders and not familiar with Spring Mountain. We need to find an expert helper."

Zhao San seemed to see a glimmer of hope!

"How?"

"Find a place with a signal first."

With that, Brother Yuan turned around and strode towards the outskirts of the forest.

Zhao San followed closely behind.

Before setting off, Tan Yong called the nearby police station and asked them to send someone over to record Suisui's fingerprints and DNA as a missing child.

If Suisui's parents were looking for her, they could find clues through database comparison.

This was all that could be done for now.

The rest depended on the follow-up of Tan Yong's investigation into the criminal syndicate and whether Suisui's parents would see "Peach Blossom Spring" and come to them 主动.

Of course, regarding the problem that Suisui might be recognized by the people of the criminal syndicate when she appeared on camera...

Tan Yong had specifically discussed it with his superiors, and everyone agreed that —

The hot search had already been on, and the whole internet knew Suisui. It was too late to keep a low profile.

It would be better to turn the situation around and take advantage of the criminals' panic to find clues and strike hard!

And with dozens of people watching over Suisui in the production team, her safety was not a problem!

Before leaving, Tan Yong specifically went up to Suisui and promised her:

"Don't worry, little uncle will definitely catch the bad guys!"

He remembered the live stream screenshots. When the child first appeared, she looked as pitiful as a muddy monkey... Damn the traffickers, he must bring them to justice!

Suisui raised her blank little face, not understanding why this uncle's face was so red with excitement.

Was it because he was about to make a great achievement and was especially happy?

Oh, these impatient youngsters.

Nevertheless, Suisui still waved her hand:

"Good luck!"

(￣︶￣)

Blessings from the little ginseng spirit!

With Tan Yong and the others leaving, the production team returned to calm.

The only difference was the addition of Suisui.

Looking at Suisui, who was sitting on a small stool, holding her face and so sleepy that she was swaying from side to side, Jian Lin resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks and turned to talk to Wen Chi about the plan to have Suisui filmed beside him.

"... Of course, to be fair, since there are two people in your group, the points will be divided by two. What do you think?"

The more Wen Chi listened, the tighter his frown became.

The first words that came out of his dry mouth were:

"Can Suisui be counted as a person?"

"Then count her as half. Multiply the points by 0.75, okay?"

Jian Lin was adaptable and changed her words very quickly.

So much so that Wen Chi sensed a strong sense of casualness from it and once again doubted whether this program could really become popular.

"No." He firmly refused, "I don't think it's appropriate!"

Jian Lin was still smiling and didn't seem the least bit anxious.

"What's inappropriate? Xiao Chi, if you have any other ideas, you can say them. Let's discuss."

Wen Chi always felt that there was something wrong with this slow tone.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

So he said:

"It's not fair to the others. The audience will question it. And I don't know how to take care of a child... Wait, you called me Xiao Chi?"

"To make it easier to get close."

Wen Chi was speechless.

He could only turn his face away irritably:

"Anyway, send her away as soon as possible..."

"Xiao Chi!"

When Suisui heard Wen Chi say this, she immediately woke up!

She jumped off the small stool, like a little calf, with heavy steps and full of momentum!

Wen Chi was stunned and subconsciously took half a step back.

Noticing this detail, Jian Lin raised an eyebrow.

Wen Chi pressed his throbbing temple:

"Suisui, listen to me..."

"I don't want to listen!"

After shouting loudly, Suisui's little mouth puckered up in 委屈,and her eyes quietly turned red.

Even her voice weakened, like a little beast about to be abandoned, softly and pitifully:

"Didn't you promise? You said I could stay."

Instantly!

Wen Chi felt like there were thorns on his back!

Countless sharp gazes from inside the house stabbed at him!
