章 14: Kung Fu
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bumming a meal off was much easier than the siblings had imagined.
They had just unpacked their luggage when the host invited them to have lunch together.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Gu Miaomiao raised her little chubby hands, extremely excited.
Smelling the aroma of food, she left her second brother, who was still tidying his hair and ran outside. Soon, she was out of sight.
Gu Che was speechless.
[Gu Che: Sister, do you love rice or me? ]
[Miaomiao: Rice, of course! Hahaha!]
[It's rare to see a handsome guy at a loss. Quick, take a screenshot.]
[Taken.]
[The one in front, please share.]
Little dough ran to the kitchen, pulled the door frame, and stuck out her round head.
The live broadcast room that belonged to them directly turned the camera to this side, occasionally switching the camera to let the audience enjoy the top celebrity searching for his sister at a loss.
The top celebrity was looking for his sister at a loss, and his sister was peeking at the food. The audience laughed.
A middle-aged woman was cooking. She had made several home-cooked dishes.
When the spicy chicken was ready, little dough couldn't help but sneeze.
"Achoo!"
The woman was stunned. Why did she hear two sneezes?
She turned around and saw a little girl standing at the door, staring at the food on the small table nearby with a burning gaze.
She was fair and tender, with baby fat on her face. She looked chubby. Her big black eyes seemed to have turned into the shape of a duck's leg.
"You're the little guest who's checking in, right?"
The middle-aged woman walked over and said, "Come in quickly. You're hungry. You can eat it first and we'll bring it to the dining room later."
The little dough touched the corner of her lips and smiled embarrassedly.
"No need, Miaomiao will wait for the second brother to eat together."
She moved closer to the stove in a very familiar manner, "Auntie, Miaomiao will help you start the fire. Miaomiao knows how to start a fire."
The middle-aged woman didn't quite believe her. She skillfully fried the rice while smiling, "You city people don't use this kind of stove."
"But Miaomiao isn't a city person."
Little dough picked up a piece of firewood and carefully put it on the stove.
"Miaomiao used to live in the mountains with master. Our stove is much worse than this."
"Master?" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise. In the mountains? What craft are you learning from master?"
Little dough rubbed its face. "Haha, nothing. It's just some simple martial arts."
[Is she telling the truth?]
[I think she's telling the truth. She's so calm.]
[So, after Miaomiao fell into the river and was saved, she stayed in the mountains? She even learned from a master?]
[Why is it so fantasy?]
[The world is so big, and there are all kinds of strange things. Didn't the news a while ago say that some experts like to live in seclusion in the mountains? Maybe there's such a fortuitous encounter in Miaomiao. ]
[You're just going with whatever a child says. Do you have a brain? She said that she knows martial arts, but she really knows it?]
Little dough quickly became familiar with Aunt Lin, who was the female owner of the house. For this, the aunt even gave her a big duck leg in advance. Little dough couldn't help but gnaw it. It smelled fantastic.
"It's delicious, simply delicious. Aunt Lin, your cooking skills are really good."
Outside the kitchen, Gu Che leaned against the wall and didn't disturb them.
[I feel like Gu Che is a little sad.]
[If what Miaomiao said is true, then her life has not been very good in the past few years. There is nothing in the mountains.]
After lunch, the five groups of guests took a short break.
After a good rest, the host couldn't wait to issue the tasks, which were similar to the previous season. The children would find ingredients in the village while the parents would prepare dinner.
The tasks mainly tested the little guests' ability to communicate with others, as well as the parents' cooking skills.
"Alright, children. Take your baskets and go look for the ingredients now," the host said.
Looking for food?
Little dough immediately went to invite Liu Yue.
Liu Yue was initially reluctant to leave her sister, but when she realized that her younger sister was so brave, she forgot her sadness and ran away with her.
Liu Man was speechless, "Was this really my sister?"
Gu Che was speechless as well, "Doesn't my sister say goodbye to me?"
The three boys formed a team and set off.
Tang Tian touched his nose, "It's beyond my expectations. I thought I'd have to coax him."
He didn't feel good to be abandoned by his son like this.
"Your son is young, but he's got such a strong aura," Su Hanjiang said with a smile.
Zhou Yan took the initiative to talk, "Teachers, what dishes are you good at? I don't have any culinary skills, at most I can make some home-cooked dishes. Please forgive my humble show later."
Even if they didn't like this person, they wouldn't show it in front of the camera.
"I can still make a few home-cooked dishes," Su Hanjiang replied.
He had dealt with Gu Che before and quite admired his temper. He naturally asked, "What about you, Gu Che?"
Gu Che was not there.
Su Hanjiang was dumbfounded!
"Where's he? How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
At this moment, the central camera was showing a few parents, so the audience could only go to the Gu Che group's live broadcast room. They saw Gu Miaomiao holding Liu Yue's hand and excitedly knocking on the door of a house.
The camera turned, and at a corner not far from them, a top celebrity was poking his head out.
[...]
[To be honest, when I heard about this mission, I thought Gu Che would force his sister to perform well. In the end... It's hard to explain in a few words.]
[In the end, he followed her in secret.]
The cameraman was also very curious and took the initiative to ask him, "Teacher Gu, why did you follow us?"
Gu Che rubbed his nose, "She's not familiar with this place. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt and will hide and cry."
The camera turned to little dough who could cry. She was asking the house owner, " Grandpa, do you have eggplants and tomatoes?"
The camera turned again. Gu Che's cold face showed a hint of worry.
[...]
[A sister makes a brother blind.]
[I didn't expect you to be such a top celebrity!]
Little dough successfully asked for several food ingredients.
However, she was not in a hurry to leave, "Grandpa, is there anything we can do for you?"
She scratched her head and said, "Master said that we can't get something without working. We can't take your things for free."
Liu Yue also felt that it was inappropriate.
"I can't dance for the next few days, but I can sing. My sister is a super good singer, and I've learned a few songs from her!"
Little dough was very distressed. It was said that her second brother could sing, dance, and act, but she only knew martial arts and a few other skills.
"Miaomiao can show you how to float on water!"
She tried to sell herself, "Miaomiao also knows Taiji Fist and Xingyi Fist. Grandpa, do you want to see it?"
Old people were always very tolerant of children.
The old man really called his wife along. Each of them moved a stool and sat in a row, waiting to watch the performance.
In Liu Yue's heart, little dough was very brave. She believed what little dough said.
"I'll sing and you'll perform then."
"Sure, sure."
Little dough said naturally, "Xingyi Fist is divided into three postures, five elements fist, and twelve forms fist. Miaomiao has to continue looking for food later, so I'll perform the simple five elements fist."
[Could it be that she really learned a lot of skills from the master in the mountain?]
[She must be bragging. She's just a child, just like dough. What can she do with her chubby hands and legs?]
[It's obvious that she was taught by a top celebrity. Is he trying to create a child star?]
[Anyway, I think she's just bragging. She's bragging at such a young age. That won't do.]
[Maybe the top celebrity wants to see this kind of effect.]
[Aren't you guys being too malicious to a child?]
The five elements fist was divided into the slashing fist, the drilling fist, the collapsing fist, the cannon fist, and the horizontal fist.
The slashing fist was a powerful fist technique, divided into two-handed and one-handed.
The requirements for the technique were very high. When making a move, there had to be a downward force, a forward-cutting force, and a backward-pulling force.
Just as the audience was making a ruckus, little dough stopped smiling and placed a thick piece of wood on the stone, about the same height as her.
Her feet were in a straight line as she prepared for a few seconds. Under the camera, one could clearly see that her cheeks were tensed up.
"Ha!"
As soon as her left hand had made a move, her right hand immediately followed.
First, she used the Yang force, then the Yin force, and then the front foot followed by the back foot. She repeated it three times. She approached the piece of wood, and with the last sweep of her fist, the wood was directly split into pieces and flew out.
[!!!]
[I just blinked. What did I miss?]
[Why did the wood suddenly split into pieces?]
[I was only staring at her chubby face. Wasn't it just a soft punch?]
[Soft my a*s. Didn't you guys hear the live recording? The sound of her every punch in the air is very loud. If she hits a person, there will be a good show to watch.]
[So, she was really picked up by an expert and accepted as a disciple after she had fallen into the water?]
[I've seen some videos of the five element fist by some bloggers. They looked soft and didn't have any strength at all. Why is she so powerful?]
