Chapter 212 Looking for clues
Since that thrilling kidnapping, everyone's life seemed to have returned to normal on the surface, but that experience was like a huge rock thrown into the lake of their hearts, and the ripples it created took a long time to dissipate.
In order to let the children forget this unpleasant memory, Director Chen announced that he would leave the village and continue filming in another place.
After a while.
The entire filming team came to the famous mountain city. Looking around, the stone roads here are winding and tortuous, and ancient buildings stand in an orderly manner on both sides of the road, exuding a strong historical atmosphere. The air is filled with the faint smell of fireworks.
In the early morning, a thin mist covers the mountains like a veil, adding a mysterious color to the entire mountain city. The peaks in the distance are looming in the mist, like an ink painting. The sun shines through the clouds, and the golden light illuminates a corner of the mountain city. The ancient city walls sparkle with the glory of time in the sun.
As soon as everyone stepped onto this land, excitement flashed in their eyes.
The street food stall exudes an alluring charm under the dim light. The stall owner is a slightly fat, amiable uncle who shouts at the top of his voice: "Hot pancakes! Crispy and delicious fried skewers! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
His voice is very penetrating and is particularly clear even in the noisy streets.
In front of the food stall, the air was filled with the tempting smell of various delicacies. The batter of the pancake sizzled in the pan, exuding the fragrance of grains, the crispy pancakes were fried golden and crispy, and the eggs, ham, lettuce and rich sauces were added, making people salivate with the aroma.
In the fried skewers pan next to it, hot oil is boiling, and various skewers are bobbing up and down in the pan. The chicken skewers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a unique meaty aroma. The lamb skewers are sizzling with oil, and the aroma of cumin is wafting in the air. The vegetable skewers are fried in an attractive color, retaining the freshness of the vegetables and the unique flavor after frying.
Lawrence Lu’s attention was firmly grasped by the fragrant snack stalls on the roadside. Looking at the steaming delicacies, he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, “I wonder if these snacks are delicious? They smell so good.”
Huo Siqian nodded repeatedly, his eyes wide open. He had been accustomed to all kinds of delicacies from land and sea since he was a child, but he had never eaten at roadside stalls.
Lin Xiaoxuan looked at the two friends and hesitated for two seconds: "How about we go ask mom and dad?"
The parents looked at their children's excitement and smiled dotingly on their faces.
Qiao Qin looked at the children gently, her voice as gentle as the breeze, "We can go and try those snacks together later, so that you can experience the special food here."
Lin Yue nodded in agreement, her eyes full of anticipation, "Yes, the snacks here must have a unique flavor."
Lu Mingxuan frowned slightly and reminded: "You still have to pay attention to hygiene and not eat anything carelessly."
at this time.
Director Chen stood in the middle of an open space. The warm sunlight shone down, casting a bright golden edge on his figure.
In front of him, three children—Lu Yuxuan, Huo Siqian, and Lin Xiaoxuan—were looking at him expectantly.
Director Chen cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Children, today the program team has carefully prepared a task full of fun and challenges for you."
His voice was steady and powerful, spreading slowly in the air. The children immediately pricked up their ears, with strong curiosity revealed in their eyes.
“This mission requires you to bravely step into every corner of the mountain city. Specific clues are hidden in those ancient streets, bustling markets, and even quiet corners. You must rely on your own wisdom and courage to discover these clues and solve the puzzles one by one. Only in this way can you finally find the mysterious treasure.” Director Chen said while gesturing with his hands, as if painting a wonderful adventure picture for the children.
Lawrence Lu’s eyes lit up instantly, and he almost jumped up with excitement. He clenched his fists tightly and said excitedly: “Wow, this sounds so exciting! I must be the first to find the clues, solve the puzzle, and get the treasure.”
His face was full of confidence, as if he had already seen his own victory. His body unconsciously leaned forward slightly, and he couldn't wait to start the task immediately.
Huo Siqian raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination, he folded his hands over his chest, frowned slightly, and began to think in his mind where to start looking for clues.
Lin Xiaoxuan blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly, "Wow, looking for treasure must be fun. If we all work together, we will definitely find it."
The air around them seemed to become tense because of this exciting mission. The fire of adventure had been ignited in the hearts of the children, and they couldn't wait to embark on this wonderful treasure hunt.
The alleys of the mountain city are like a maze, narrow and quiet. The ancient walls are covered with green vines, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.
Huo Siqian, Lu Yuxuan and Lin Xiaoxuan quickly divided into groups and set off impatiently. They were like cheerful little birds, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the mountain city.
Huo Siqian walked briskly, immersed in the excitement of finding clues. His eyes were like a scanner, carefully observing everything around him, not missing any corner that might contain clues.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on an ancient temple.
The temple is quietly located in a peaceful place. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light that are scattered on the ground like golden fragments. The temple is filled with a light scent of sandalwood, which instantly calms people's hearts.
Huo Siqian walked slowly into the temple. The ancient Buddha statues were solemn and majestic, and his footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
At this time, a sweeping monk was sweeping the ground silently, and the friction between the broom and the ground made a slight rustling sound.
Huo Siqian looked at the Sweeping Monk curiously, but the Sweeping Monk just raised his head slightly and continued to concentrate on his cleaning work.
Huo Siqian began to search around the temple, carefully checking every Buddha statue, every pillar, and even the stone slabs on the ground, but he still couldn't find any trace of the note. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.
Isn't the clue here?
Huo Siqian began to doubt his own judgment, and his steps became somewhat flustered.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the monk who was sweeping the door silently. He hurried to the door of the temple as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
The sweeping monk was still sweeping the floor slowly. Huo Siqian walked forward respectfully and said politely, "Grandpa, I'm looking for something very important. Can you help me?"
The Sweeping Monk raised his head slightly, looked at Huo Siqian calmly without saying a word. Huo Siqian quickly explained the situation of the mission briefly, and then looked at the Sweeping Monk expectantly.
The Sweeping Monk was silent for a moment, slowly put down the broom, and took Huo Siqian back into the temple. They came to a Buddha statue. The Sweeping Monk pointed behind the statue. Huo Siqian hurriedly went around behind the statue and found a mysterious note in a hidden corner.
The paper was slightly yellowed, as if it had gone through a long time. He picked it up carefully, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity, "What does this mean? These symbols are so mysterious."
Huo Siqian looked at the strange symbols on the note, which were like ancient codes, incomprehensible. His brows were furrowed and he fell into deep thought.
......
At the same time, Lawrence Lu came to a traditional teahouse.
As soon as he stepped into the teahouse, the rich tea fragrance lingered like a flexible ribbon and penetrated into his nostrils.
In the teahouse, people sit leisurely at quaint wooden tables and chairs, holding exquisite teacups and chatting softly. The sound of their words is like the gurgling of water, accompanied by soft background music, creating a quiet and leisurely atmosphere.
The wooden tables and chairs exude an aura of time, and the textures seem to hide countless stories from the past. The ancient calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, with ink spreading on the yellowed paper, are like mysterious marks left by the years.
Lawrence Lu's eyes were focused and anxious as he walked back and forth in the teahouse looking for clues. He bent down and carefully checked the bottom of the tables and chairs, not missing any corner that might contain clues, but he found nothing but dust.
He stood up again, reached out and gently felt the crack in the wall. His fingertips felt rough, but there was still no trace of any clues.
Then, Lawrence Lu turned his gaze to the teacups in people’s hands, carefully observing every detail, but still found nothing.
As time slowly passed, Lawrence Lu's heart was gradually filled with anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
No!
If we continue like this, we will lose to Huo Siqian and Lin Xiaoxuan.
