Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

However, the scene that netizens were expecting did not happen. Zuo You drove the tricycle steadily into the village, just as Xia Meng had finished preparing dinner. Everyone then took out disposable tableware and started eating.

The production team rented houses from villagers for the guests, and each person had their own room, which was quite spacious. After dinner, the production team turned off the recording equipment and let the guests go back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

With no cameras following them, Gu Yang took advantage of everyone's inattention to pull Zuo You to a corner. He lowered his voice, afraid that others would hear him.

"Why are you here? Did you have a fight with Shen Yan?"

"No, the master said this show would bring me good fortune, so I came," Zuo You replied mysteriously.

"What a load of nonsense! Coming to the mountains to suffer in this freezing weather, I don't know what you were thinking." Gu Yang was speechless at the scene where the two of them were like spies meeting. After thinking for a moment, he added, "You really didn't bring any luggage? I have a short down jacket in my suitcase. I'll secretly give it to you tonight."

Zuo You felt a warmth in her heart, but still refused, saying, "Don't worry, someone will deliver it to me."

Yu Huan's voice came from not far away. Zuo You quickly pushed Gu Yang away and urged him to leave, saying, "You should leave quickly, so that the other guests don't find out about our relationship."

After Gu Yang left, Zuo You took off her shoes, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and closed her eyes to rest.

She certainly wasn't here to play around; this village has plenty of good things, all tailor-made for the female lead, Su Nuannuan.

Before, Zuo You might not have made a move, but now, she's determined to seize it!

Zuo You took out the phone returned by the production team, set an alarm for two hours later, and fell into a deep sleep.

The nights in the countryside are much quieter than in the city. At ten o'clock at night, Wei Ci took a cane, gently pushed open the small kitchen door, and disappeared into the darkness with the help of his mobile phone flashlight.

The location on her phone remained unchanged. Wei Ci was worried that there would be no signal after entering the mountains, so she carefully memorized the location and direction.

The photographer, who had just finished relieving himself, saw Wei Ci's back as he went up the mountain. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a glimmer of light appear on another path.

The photographer's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran back to grab his camera and follow.

Two people going into the mountains together late at night, whether they are male or female, are full of passion!

If he managed to capture some of President Wei's most exciting moments, he could easily sell the footage and live a life of ease!

"Youyou, are you alright?" Qiang Ge exclaimed in surprise when he saw Zuo You fall on her bottom again, his tone tinged with guilt: "It's all my fault. I can't even do something as simple as locating someone."

Zuo You stood up, patted her butt, and laughed: "Don't worry, my butt is so perky it can support an entire Earth, so it won't hurt if I fall."

But what about you? Will our conversation be affected?

No, but now all I can do is chat.

Zuo You's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "Brother Qiang, you were the one helping me the whole time I had amnesia, right? The time I was hit by the driver, and the GPS tracker Shen Yan gave me—you blocked those signals, didn't you?"

Looking back now, she realizes that during the time she lost her memory, she always managed to escape danger and even managed to block the locator that Shen Yan had built at great expense. At that time, they all thought that a mysterious person was secretly helping her behind the scenes.

Now it seems that it was Brother Qiang who was secretly protecting her.

Qiang didn't speak. The white halo flashed and shrank into an even smaller sphere.

[Brother Qiang, you can be shy?] Zuo You reached out and poked him with some curiosity, but her fingertips easily passed through the light circle and didn't touch anything.

She composed herself and said earnestly, "Brother Qiang, thank you. You'll always be family to me. If there's a chance, I'll help you recover."

After finishing her sentence, Zuo You focused on moving forward, following the faint light ahead into the depths of the mountains and forests.

This is the Undying Mountain. Animal calls could be heard from time to time in the dense forest, but Zuo You wasn't too afraid. One reason was that Wei Ci was right in front of her, which gave her courage, and another was that she knew there were no wild animals here.

The Immortal Mountain has nurtured generations of villagers who have lived here. Although they are not very wealthy, they are backed by the resource-rich mountain, and even in times of famine, few of them starve to death.

In the original story, the female lead accidentally entered this mountain and discovered that it was full of treasures.

Excited, she resolved to lead the villagers to a better life, so her suitors competed to invest, and the Immortal Mountain was soon put into development.

After earning money, the female protagonist gave each household 10,000 yuan every year and also built roads for the village. Large trucks came and went, transporting the treasures from the mountains out and making it easier for the villagers to travel. Everyone was extremely grateful to Su Nuannuan and even named the village's Hope Primary School after her.

Zuo You suddenly heard a strange noise. She turned her head abruptly, but saw nothing.

She lifted her foot and realized she had stepped on a dead branch.

Whew~ Zuo You let out a long sigh of relief. She had really scared herself.

Wei Ci suddenly stopped, and Zuo You quickly squatted down and turned off the flashlight.

She knew what Wei Ci was coming for tonight, but given that he was the main character and she was just cannon fodder, Zuo You decided to hitch a ride and intercept him later.

However, just a few seconds later, when Zuo You looked up again, Wei Ci had already disappeared.

Zuo You's heart skipped a beat. Had Wei Ci discovered her?

Or was he testing her?

So she patiently waited in place for a few minutes, but there was still no movement in front of her.

"Damn it!" Zuo You sighed softly and continued walking forward with her flashlight.

I don't know if Wei Ci can be found. Although he is also a protagonist, his halo is not as strong as the female lead's. Even the female lead had to go up the mountain several times before she met him.

Wei Ci had been lost. Zuo You looked at the ground covered with weeds and felt a little panicked. Just as she was considering whether to go back first, a hand reached out.

"Ugh!" Zuo You's mouth was covered, and her eyes widened in horror as she pulled out an electric shock ring from her pocket.

"It's me." Just before she could make a move, Wei Ci released her, a hint of wariness hidden deep in his narrow eyes: "You were following me?"

"Why would I want to follow you?" Zuo You pretended to be calm, pulled a plastic bag out of her pocket and shook it, saying, "I'm here to dig for ginseng, you're not here to steal it from me, are you?"

"Coming to dig for ginseng all alone in the middle of the night, do you think I'm stupid?" Wei Ci didn't believe her and still looked at her warily.

He's not stupid, but at this moment, Zuo You can only treat him like a fool and continue to fool him.

She bent down and casually shoveled some fallen leaves on the ground. "Ginseng has to be dug up at night so it won't run away. Look, just like me, searching everywhere, you're sure to find some—"

The rest of the conversation abruptly ended. Zuo You rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she was dreaming.

Wei Ci followed her gaze and looked down, a hint of doubt appearing on his usually indifferent face.

"There really is ginseng? And a thousand-year-old wild ginseng at that?"

Zuo You excitedly rushed over, shouting excitedly, "My God! Wei Ci, come quick! I've finally found such a wonderful treasure!"

Wei Ci squatted down as instructed. Even he rarely saw ginseng of such good age, and he felt that it must be quite large when it was dug up.

The two were so engrossed in their excitement that they didn't notice the flashing red light in the distance.
