FV: Chapter 337

“Mending the pen after the sheep are lost,” Lin Fei said calmly.

The uncle in a blue hat asked him with a smile, “Anything else?”

“A narrow and winding path like a sheep’s intestines?” Lin Fei vaguely remembered that there seemed to be this idiom.

“Is there any poetry?”

“The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind and you can see the cattle and sheep.” After he finished speaking, he added calmly, “That is all I know.”

So there was no need to ask him if there was anything else. There was no more. He hadn’t memorized others yet.

Netizens couldn’t help laughing when they saw his paralyzed little face saying indifferently, ‘That is all I know.’

[Fei Fei is so honest.]

[Fei Fei: I’ve already shown my cards. Don’t ask for a while.]

[Why does he feel like a top student even when saying this [covers face].]

[Since he is very calm, it feels like ‘I am like this. You take care of it.’ [dog head]]

[Hahahaha, the cool brother Lin Fei.]

[I just thought about it. I only know a few more sentences than Fei Fei [covers face].]

[Me too. There were indeed very few idioms with the character of sheep compared to those with the character of cow!]

[The poems are even more awesome!]

[The questions set by the program team this time are a bit difficult. If it wasn’t for Fei Fei, I probably wouldn’t have been able to think of anything, just like Lele.]

[That’s right. Otherwise, why else would Lele change from the captain to the vice-captain?]

[Hahahah. It has to be Fei Fei. Fei Fei is awesome!]

The uncle listened to his honest words and looked at his innocent little face. He thought that Lin Fei was a bit cute.

“That is pretty good,” he praised. “You know a lot more than I do!”

“Then can you tell us where to go?” Ji Leyu immediately seized the opportunity to ask.

The uncle pointed to the road in front of him and said, “You go straight along this road. When you reach the fork, turn left.”

“Thank you,” Ji Leyu said politely.

“You’re welcome.” The uncle smiled and waved at them. “Good luck to you.”

Ji Leyu smiled and waved to him. He pulled Lin Fei and continued to walk forward.

The parents in front of the monitor finally sighed with relief.

“It is good that Fei Fei is here, or they would probably be trapped here.”

“That won’t happen,” Lin Luoqing guessed. “The program team definitely won’t let the children be trapped in this level at the beginning. If Fei Fei wasn’t around and everyone couldn’t answer this question, the program team would probably have a plan B. Maybe the uncle in the blue hat would say something like, ‘Then let me change my request!’ The program team set up this link for several reasons. Firstly, it is to see the children’s performance. Secondly, it is to educate and entertain them. They can’t let the children stop here.”

“Even if they want to stop the children, they will do so at a later level and will give the children a chance to be resurrected. In the end, the children will definitely find and rescue us. After all, this is a parent-child variety show. It will definitely have a family-friendly ending.”

Everyone listened to these words and couldn’t help nodding. Yes, if the child was trapped now and unable to move forward, wouldn’t they be unable to finish this process?

The program team couldn’t really let them be eaten by monsters!

“Teacher Lin, you are right.”

“Teacher Lin, you understand it very well!”

Lin Luoqing smiled and said modestly, “I am also just guessing. We are a variety show for light entertainment. The variety show must have a happy ending.”

The program director who was looking at the performance of the parents, “……”

Very good. It wasn’t enough for Lin Fei to crack their routine alone. Now his father also started to crack it!

They were truly worthy of a tiger father and son. The father and son went into battle together. Did the two of them have such a thorough understanding of the variety show that they seemed to have peeked at the script?

This was a perfect prediction!

The director sighed while feeling that the father and son were too smart.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu didn’t walk for long before finding a fork in the road. They turned left and entered a small path according to what the uncle said.

Lin Fei lowered his head to look at the book again. The book said: Follow the instructions of the uncle in the blue hat and go forward. Soon, you will see an old lady wearing a red hat. Go to help the old lady and she will tell you the way forward.

“Is the old lady in the red hat the grandmother of Little Red Riding Hood?” Cheng Huiya asked.

“Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother was eaten by a wolf,” Yang Wenjing replied to her.

“She wasn’t eaten. She will live again,” Cheng Huiya said firmly.

Yang Wenjing shook her head. “She was eaten.”

The two little girls started arguing.

As they were arguing, Lin Fei saw an old woman sitting on a stone not far away. She was wearing a very conspicuous red hat.

“A red hat.” Tang Jiale pointed at her and looked at Lin Fei.

Yang Wenjing and Cheng Huiya stopped arguing when they heard this. They looked at the old lady together.

Lin Fei walked over without saying anything.

“Grandma, do you know where our parents are hiding?” Geng Shansi asked warmly.

The old woman in the red hat looked at her with a smile. “Yes, I know. But you have to help me find what I lost first.”

“What is it?”

“Grandma is old and my eyesight is blurry. I dropped my glasses and my wallet went missing. Can you help me look for it?”

“Okay.” Geng Shansi nodded.

The children quickly started to help the old woman find her glasses and wallet.

Suddenly, Yang Wenjing stepped on something. She picked it up and found that it was a beautifully packaged lollipop.

Yang Wenjing couldn’t help feeling a bit moved. She reached out to peel off the candy wrapper.

It was a pity that she was weak and couldn’t peel it off. She turned around and saw Lin Fei not far away. She walked over with the lollipop.

“Brother Fei Fei, can you peel it for me?” Yang Wenjing held out the lollipop.

Lin Fei looked at the candy in her hand and asked her, “Where did you get it?”

“I just picked it up on the ground.”

“This can’t be eaten,” Lin Fei said indifferently.

Yang Wenjing blinked like she didn’t quite understand. “Why?”

“You can’t eat anything picked up on the ground or given by strangers,” Lin Fei said calmly.

[Yes yes, listen quietly to your brother and throw it away.] Netizens were worried.

[Jingjing’s safety awareness isn’t good. But it is all right. Jingjing is still young.]

[Fortunately, Fei Fei is very reliable and can remind her not to eat food given by strangers. Fei Fei’s safety awareness is indeed very strong.]

[There is nothing Fei Fei isn’t strong in, right? I feel like he is strong in everything [covers face].]

[After all, he is the king of hard work. How can he work hard if he isn’t strong? Can he be called a king? Lin Fei—the nightmare of a generation of elementary school students [dog head].]

[Hahahahahaha, that makes sense.]

Yang Wenjing heard this. She looked at the lollipop in her hand with some greed but still remembered that her mother had told her before that she should listen to her brothers and sisters when she was with them. She just looked at it greedily for a while before putting the lollipop in her hand back on the grass.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei originally wanted to walk over, pick it up and throw it into the trash can. Then he thought about it. Maybe someone else accidentally dropped it?

What if the other person came back to pick up the lollipop?

He lowered his head again and continued to look for the old lady’s glasses and wallet.

There were many stones in this meadow. In addition to stones, there were fallen candies, coins and fruits.

Tang Jiale picked up coins along the way. He picked up more and more, walking further and further. Soon, he moved away from the main group.

He stood up and looked around, but he couldn’t see Lin Fei or the others. Just now, he had kept his head down and only looked at the coins. He couldn’t remember which direction he came from.

Tang Jiale shouted anxiously, “Lin Fei, Xiao Yu, Shanshan.”

He didn’t dare to move at this moment out of fear he would go further away. He could only keep shouting the names of the three of them.

Lin Fei heard Tang Jiale’s shout and looked up, only to find that Tang Jiale was missing.

Lin Fei thought, ‘…He is such a big person. Why is he still running around casually?’

It was even worse than Cheng Huiya.

Lin Fei listened to the other person’s voice and said to Ji Leyu, “Keep looking. I’ll go and find Tang Jiale.”

“I’ll go with you,” Ji Leyu said quickly.

Lin Fei looked at Cheng Huiya, Yang Wenjing and Geng Shansi. He was indifferent by nature. Even after recording the show together for so long, he wasn’t willing to have more contact with people other than Ji Leyu. But now that they were together, the children’s parents would definitely feel uncomfortable if something happened to the three of them. Lin Luoqing would also be worried.

Of course, Lin Fei knew that there would be a director and cameraman following them, so nothing serious would happen to them. What he was worried about was the fact that Yang Wenjing wanted to eat the candy she picked up on the ground just now, but the cameraman and director didn’t stop them.

He was very smart. After so many episodes of recording, he had long understood that these brothers and sisters who followed them wouldn’t say or do anything in most cases. They just watched and recorded the children’s every move and didn’t interfere.

Lin Fei didn’t want Lin Luoqing to worry about these unnecessary people and things. This was why he said in a rare manner, “You stay here.”

He added, “Watch the three of them.”

Ji Leyu wasn’t very willing. He never cared about others, and it was the same this time. He only cared about Lin Fei. How could he be separated from Lin Fei because of these people?

“I’ll go with you.” He looked at Lin Fei in a coquettish manner.

“No need,” Lin Fei rejected him. “Please help me watch them and don’t let them eat the candies and fruits on the ground.”

He had already discovered that there were many scattered candies and fruits on the ground.

Ji Leyu pursed his mouth and didn’t speak.

Lin Fei was helpless. He had to touch Ji Leyu’s head and coax him. “Be good.”

The moment he said ‘Be good’, Ji Leyu had no choice. He could only nod reluctantly. “Then you come back quickly.”

“Yes.”

Lin Fei replied. Then he turned around and walked in the direction of Tang Jiale.

Ji Leyu looked at him before pouting and continuing to look for the glasses and wallet.

Netizens couldn’t help laughing.

[Look at how wronged our Xiao Yu is. A bottle of oil can hang from his little mouth.]

[Hahahaha, Xiao Yu is really clingy to his brother. So cute.]

[He is also very obedient. The moment his brother told him to be good, he compromised and just asked his brother to come back early.]

[That’s right. Fei Fei can really bear it. I would’ve taken him with me a long time ago!]

[But Fei Fei actually told Xiao Yu to be good! Wu wu wu, he is so good. Obviously, he is cold toward other people but he pampers Xiao Yu so much. No wonder why Xiao Yu is so clingy to him!]

[Lin Fei—a well-known brother con. Who doesn’t know this?]

[I know, I know. But when Fei Fei said yes just now, I inexplicably felt he was so cool. I felt that there is no child as cool as him [covers face].]

[It is normal. Who is the little boss? [dog head]]

[Hahaha, that’s right. Fei Fei is our male god [amused].]

[But Lele too. How could he run so far? Hahahaha, he can’t find the direction now. He must regret it.]

[It is already very good that Lele knows to stand still and not run around. However, there is something wrong with that meadow. Why are there so many candies, fruits and coins?]

[Fortunately, Fei Fei had a sense of precaution and didn’t let Jingjing eat that lollipop. Otherwise, it would be bad if something was in that candy.]

[I guess the program team designed this level to teach children not to pick up things on the ground, let alone eat them casually.]

[Then Xiaoya and Jingjing both need to strengthen their education in this area. Just now, they both wanted to eat it. Fortunately, one person was persuaded by Fei Fei and the other was persuaded by Shanshan.]

The parents of Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing also realized this and decided to teach their daughters a lesson when they returned so that their daughters could understand this truth.

Tang Jiale stretched his neck and looked around. He saw a small figure in the distance. He took a few steps forward in surprise. When he was sure that it was really Lin Fei, he walked over.

“You’re here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to go.”

Lin Fei, “……”

Tang Jiale spread out his hands and showed the coins he had just picked up. “Look, I picked up a lot of money. I’ll give you half of it.”

“No need.” Lin Fei refused.

Tang Jiale was very loyal. “If we meet then I’ll give you half. If you come to see me, I’ll give you half.”

“No need.”

Seeing this, Tang Jiale counted half the coins and stuffed them into Lin Fei’s pocket. Lin Fei stepped back and said calmly, “Do you still remember what you should do?”

Tang Jiale, “????”

Tang Jiale, “!!!!”

Tang Jiale thought about it in hindsight and said in an embarrassed manner, “I… I’ll go look for it.”

Lin Fei was speechless and returned to the meadow with him, continuing to look for the glasses and wallet.

“I found it.” Ji Leyu suddenly shouted. He took out a pair of glasses from a gap between two stones. “Grandma, are these your glasses?”

Ji Leyu walked over and handed the glasses to the old lady wearing the red hat.

“Yes yes.” The old lady took it.

“But where is your wallet?” Ji Leyu was a bit confused.

The old woman smiled. “It doesn’t matter if I can’t find the wallet. I’ve brought a plastic bag with me. I just need to find the contents of the wallet.”

“What is it?” Ji Leyu asked.

“10 lollipops, 20 small candies, 20 small oranges, and 50 coins.”

Everyone looked at the ground in an instant. It turned out that these were all dropped by the old lady!

Several children hurriedly picked up the candy, fruits and coins that hadn’t been picked up by Tang Jiale on the ground.

“Here.” Geng Shansi handed them to the old lady to put in a plastic bag.

Tang Jiale looked at her plastic bag with some reluctance. Still, he took out the coins in his pocket and put them in.

Yang Wenjing silently thought to herself that it was a good thing she didn’t eat the lollipop just now. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been enough.

Everyone worked together. Soon, the few things scattered on the ground were packed into the grandmother’s big plastic bag.

The old lady wore the reading glasses and counted. Once she saw that the numbers were correct, she smiled and said softly, “Thank you. You are all good children.”

“You’re welcome. Grandma, can you tell us where our parents are?”

The old lady turned her head to look at the hillside not far away. She pointed and said, “You just have to climb over that hillside and follow the path with the red ribbon.”

Geng Shansi nodded. She looked at Lin Fei and walked forward with him.

They had been walking for a long time. Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing were both tired. The two little girls walked on their short legs and whispered, “I’m so tired. How long will I have to walk?”

Lin Fei flipped through the book and replied to them, “It isn’t far away.”

Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing tried their best to walk with them. But they walked slowly and slower, becoming more tired as they walked.

They were young and didn’t exercise much. The journey wasn’t very far but it was still long enough for them.

Tang Jiale looked at their heavy legs and said like a big brother, “I’ll carry you.”

Then he walked up to Cheng Huiya and took the initiative to carry her on his back.

Still, he was a child after all. It wasn’t easy for him to carry Cheng Huiya on his back.

Seeing this, Lin Fei suggested, “Let’s rest for a while.”

“Let’s rest when we reach the slope,” Ji Leyu said. “Climb up first and then rest for a while. After that, we will go down the slope.”

“Yes.” Geng Shansi nodded.

The group of people couldn’t help slowing down. Geng Shansi pulled Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing and slowly led them forward.

The hillside wasn’t too high, but it was still a bit high for the small children.

Tang Jiale took the initiative to lead Cheng Huiya, the youngest sister, forward. Lin Fei was second only to Tang Jiale in age and naturally wanted to help Yang Wenjing.

It was a pity that Ji Leyu grabbed him, walked to Yang Wenjing and pulled her up.

He and Tang Jiale both pulled one. The netizens in the live broadcast room and the parents in front of the monitor were moved and cheered for them.

Lin Fei saw that Ji Leyu didn’t let him pull Yang Wenjing, so he took the initiative to pull Ji Leyu up. He let Ji Leyu use his own strength to better pull Yang Wenjing.

Ji Leyu looked at him and took his hand. He turned around and smiled at Lin Fei with a happy sweetness. He was like a snack wrapped in honey.

Finally, with their help, the two little girls walked to the top of the slope step by step.

By this time, it was already very bright. The blue sky was covered with white clouds, and the green hillsides were covered with wildflowers.

Standing on top of the slope, they could see the river and meadow below, as well as the sheep and fruit trees not far away.

Tang Jiale raised his hands on both sides of his mouth and shouted into the distance, feeling refreshed.

Yang Wenjing and Cheng Huiya shouted in imitation, smiling in a silly manner.

Tang Jiale seemed to find it interesting and shouted again. Yang Wenjing and Cheng Huiya followed him like an echo.

Geng Shansi was amused by them. She couldn’t help raising her hands and shouting with them.

Tang Jiale turned to look at Lin Fei and Ji Leyu. “You guys should try it too. It is very fun.”

Ji Leyu refused. He felt stupid. He didn’t want to do such a stupid thing.

Lin Fei didn’t speak. He just quietly watched the scenery in front of him.

He always liked scenery he had never seen before. It was the first time he climbed up a hill that wasn’t so high. It was the first time he looked at the river and meadow under his feet. He saw the people who were so small that they were almost invisible, and looked at the sheep who were clustered together like dandelions.

These were things he had never seen in a city. They had also never appeared in his past, so he watched them very carefully.

He wanted to go further, seeing more scenery of different varieties. Lin Fei stared up at the sky and remembered what Lin Luoqing once said to him. ‘You are a dragon. You will soar in the sky.’

His heart trembled again. He raised his hand to touch the blue sky he had never reached.

Tang Jiale and Yang Wenjing were still shouting. They seemed to be very happy. Ji Leyu didn’t hold back in the end and tried to shout. Then he kept encouraging Lin Fei to try it too.

Lin Fei rejected him coldly, maintaining his aloofness.

A butterfly flew in front of him. Ji Leyu had quick eyes and quick hands. He jumped up and caught it before it flew away.

Geng Shansi, Yang Wenjing, and Cheng Huiya immediately gathered around to see the butterfly. Even Tang Jiale came over.

Everyone formed a circle. Ji Leyu carefully loosened his grip. The blue-purple butterfly flapped its wings and flew upward from his palm.

It was like a child’s hope, like a beautiful dream in childhood.

Even many years later, Lin Luoqing still remembered this scene filled with their wanton laughter and them playing on the hillside. He remembered the innocence and simplicity on their faces.

They stood side by side on the hillside, with the blue sky above their heads and the green land below their feet. They embraced the world in front of them, bright and energetic.

It was a very beautiful and simple childhood time that belonged to them.
