Extra 10

With her bag, Lu Wan brought Lu Buyu to the House No. 2 he had drawn.

She was mentally prepared, but the house in front of her…… was still a bit beyond her expectations.

Was this really a survival show? Or a trick show?

It was just one room, built of wood, about ten square meters by her estimate.

How could two people live here?

She could make do with it, but the key was, could Lu Buyu?

Where was the rest room? Where would they wash?

After inspecting the place, Lu Wan turned her head and glanced at the crew behind her.

The staff of the program group themselves couldn’t live in such a house, could they?

The crew were stared at and felt a little guilty. After all, this stunt was a bit too much for the initial period……

However, the look in Little Sister’s eyes was a little scary and the scalps of several people went numb.

There was always the feeling that there would be unexpected circumstances in this shooting.

Lu Wan was about to interrogate the staff, but Lu Buyu had already gone in without hesitation.

“Hurry up. What are you doing at the door? We’re here.”

Hearing the urging, Lu Wan had no choice but to follow him in.

This guy Lu Buyu was really a dummy. She was planning to negotiate terms with the program team. There was no need to accept everything.

The height of the house was only about 2.5 meters. Both brother and sister were tall, so it was a little cramp.

There was only one 1.2 meters bed, but there were two sets of bedding.

The scenery outside the window was good. It could be regarded as an authentic mountain view home.

There was also a fire pit in the middle of the house which was the place for cooking, while on the right was a very primitive low table and two stools.

Nothing else.

Lu Wan: “I’ll sleep on the floor tonight.”

“How can I let you do that? You sleep on the bed. Brother will sleep on the floor.” Lu Buyu’s tone was cheerful, obviously in high spirits.

Everything here was very new to him and he hadn’t thought about the situation that the two of them would face.

Lu Wan shrugged. “That’s fine too.”

The ingredients for the first day were provided by the program team. It included meat and vegetables, two potatoes and noodles, and some basic seasonings.

There were simple cooking utensils in the house and a basin not far away. The water was from a mountain spring, which could be used for washing vegetables and for daily cleaning.

Lu Buyu looked excited. “Do you need me to do anything?”

Lu Wan: “Go and pick up some more firewood. The kind that can be burned, preferably dry wood.”

“Okay.” Lu Buyu accepted the task and was ready to find firewood immediately.

Lu Wan also instructed, “Don’t bring big ones or we’ll still have to split it up. The thickest one shouldn’t exceed the size of your wrist and it shouldn’t be too long that it will be hard to bring back.”

“Didn’t you bring gloves? Put it on before going out. Don’t wander on the cliff.”

“I know.” Lu Buyu bent down and found the gloves.

Lu Wan: “Take your watch and check the time. Come back in 40 minutes before gathering some more.”

“Okay.” Lu Buyu collected firewood for the first time. Fortunately, this was a wooded mountain and the ground was full of dead wood so it wasn’t difficult.

He also excels in physical strength. According to Lu Wan’s instructions, only dry branches that meet the standards would pass in his eyes.

By the time he returned with a large bundle of beautiful firewood, the sky had already darkened.

“Look, aren’t I great?”

Lu Buyu carried the firewood in with excitement and wanted to show off when he found that Lu Wan had already cooked the meal.

“Where did you get the firewood?” Lu Buyu inquired.

Lu Wan: “A spot behind the house. Sit down and eat. The firewood you picked up will be used tomorrow.”

The house was too small for two people to get around.

By sending Lu Buyu away, she could move more efficiently.

Under the shocked eyes of the crew, Lu Wan quickly made a fire and then cooked a dish and a pot of noodles.

Just under forty minutes.

One must know that the other four groups spent a long time trying to make a fire…… and they haven’t lit it yet.

Because of the difficulties encountered in cooking, the two generations have disagreed and was already quarreling!

Lu Wan’s action was too fast and it felt like it wasn’t difficult for her. Moreover, it was quite fragrant.

The hungry cameraman swallowed.

Lu Buyu took the bowl with an excited expression on his face. “Great. Since we’re recording a show I can eat it all and my manager won’t be able to say anything about it.”

He eats salad for dinner every day and strictly maintains his figure. Xiao Zhang doesn’t allow him to eat too much carbohydrate.

Idols weren’t qualified to have a full stomach.

The noodles and Twice-cooked pork was high in calories, but it was really delicious and smelled fragrant due to the lard.

Lu Buyu felt that it was right that he had come and was full of expectations for the rest of the journey.

Production team staff: “……”

This wasn’t the scene they wanted to see!      

Preparing a meal with this kind of rural cooking pit, not to mention the stars who don’t know how to do housework, it was tricky even for those who could cook.

How did Lu Wan do it? A young miss?

This was a variety show for stars to experience life, not a gourmet show!

It was only the first day but the staff already encountered a terrible thing.

Little Sister seems to be a bug, which made the most popular brother and sister group looks like they really came for a vacation. Everything was extremely smooth sailing.

The group that followed Lu Buyu this afternoon agreed with this point of view.

This top star picked up firewood while playing and humming excitedly along the way because he had plenty of time. There was no sense of tension at all.

Lu Buyu’s face gave them the illusion that they were shooting a remake of an idol drama.

Simply put, the brother and sister group were full while the others were still cooking.

Lu Wan had made a lot and there was no refrigerator here.

After she was done eating, she packed a plate of Twice-cooked pork and another large pot of noodles to visit other guests with Lu Buyu.

Lu Buyu: “We can take this there. But won’t the others already have dinner?”

Lu Wan: “It’s okay, someone will always want it. Take the bag with you.”

There’s a change of clothes inside the bag. They’d have to borrow someone else’s place to take a shower.

After saying so, Lu Wan turned around and asked the staff on the side, “My brother and I are living in the worst condition, right?”

The staff nodded.

Lu Wan smiled meaningfully. “I see. Since our condition is so difficult, isn’t this forcing us to create our own conditions?”

Staff: “……”

This sentence should have been said by them, but coming out of Lu Wan’s mouth, it doesn’t sound right.

They’re…… a little flustered.

The siblings went to the nearest house.

House No. 1 not only had a bright and spacious bedroom, but also a specialized kitchen. Compared with their house, it can be called a mansion.

The guest in this house was a 60 years old actor.

Wang Lu brought his daughter Wang Zhenzhen, who was in her twenties, to the show.

Although there was a kitchen there, it was the kind of rural earthen stove that used big iron pots.

Neither the father nor the daughter knew how to cook, so they were immediately stunned to encounter such a high-level stove.

They’d been tossing for two hours and their hungry stomach was now pressed against their backs, but the fire hadn’t yet to start.

“I’m so angry. At worst, I won’t eat today.” After several failed attempts to light the fire, Wang Lu was furious.

He didn’t expect to encounter defeat on the first day.

He felt aggrieved and couldn’t help but want to lose his temper.

“Dad, I seem to have gotten the hang of building a fire, why don’t we try again?” Wang Zhenzhen’s face was stained with layers of ashes but she couldn’t care about her image at the moment.

It was so difficult she wanted to cry, but she had to eat.

The father and daughter looked at each other, feeling sad.

That’s when they heard a knock on the door.

“Uncle, it’s Lu Wan. We’ve prepared more food and brought you some.”

The father and daughter looked at each other and walked out quickly at the same time.

When they saw the noodles and the large plate of meat, their tears almost came out. Heaven truly always leaves one a way out!

This was timely help!

Wang Lu opened his mouth, “Thank you. Who made this?”

Lu Buyu: “My sister.”

“She can cook?” Wang Lu was a little surprised.

Lu Buyu shrugged his shoulders. “What’s so difficult about this? Although I don’t know how, I am very confident in cooking. It shouldn’t be bad. I’ll send it to you once I make some.”

Father and daughter: “……”

No, it’s really difficult. To begin with, one had to know how to make a fire……

Lu Wan: “By the way, Uncle, our place is not very convenient. Can we use your bathroom to take a shower?”

“That’s certainly no problem, go ahead.”

Lu Wan turned her head to signal Lu Buyu to take his changed of clothes and go in.

After dinner, the father and daughter looked at each other again and reached a consensus.

In order to improve their quality of life in the future, they have to hug the thighs of the brother and sister group tightly.

No— to be precise— hugged Lu Wan’s thigh.

Lu Buyu might not understand how it was a happy thing to have a younger sister with excellent life skills.

After the sibling had taken turns on taking a shower, they talked to the guests in House 1 for a while.

When it was nine o’clock, they got up and went back.

———

After waiting for the guests to leave, Wang Zhenzhen said with emotion, “They’re both nice.”

She was originally a fan of Lu Buyu, but now she also likes Lu Wan.

It felt particularly reassuring to be with her.

Wang Lu coughed. “Yeah, they are both very kind and nice.”

Both brother and sister were very kind and get along like spring breeze.

However, there was a difference. The brother was the kind who grew up carefree and unharmed. People around him were very friendly, so he was very simple and kindhearted.

The sister was the kind who had gone through many things that precipitated her mild aura, basically depending on herself. It was very rare.

———

The weather was fine tonight, and the mountains were far away from pollution, so the stars in the sky could be seen very clearly, as if they were very close.

Lu Buyu: “The air here is really nice and the night sky is beautiful.”

Lu Wan: “En.”

“How is it? It’s not wrong that we came, right?” Lu Buyu smiled.

“En.”

By the time the two of them got back, the smell of cooked food had almost dissipated.

Lu Buyu made a bed on the floor. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was huge, so they must properly covered themselves with the quilt.

“Good night, sister.”

He was really happy that they had such a long time together.

Lu Wan lit the mosquito coil and turned off the lights.

“Good night.”

———

Lu Wan woke up the next day just when the outside light came in.

She casually cooked a stew with yesterday’s ingredients, as well as the leftover green beans for their breakfast.

Lu Buyu wasn’t being picky. Moreover, he thinks that Lu Wan’s cooking was delicious.

Much more than a salad.

The program team was speechless. They originally thought that brother-sister group would be the high light of the show. But because of Lu Wan, everything had become easy mode.

They were having a smooth time.

After eating, the brother and sister rested for a while until it was time to gather at the village entrance.

Today the program team arranged a task.

In the morning, the juniors would go to the mountain to pick tea leaves while the seniors would cook lunch at home.

Lu Wan contemplated for a while. Lu Buyu certainly couldn’t handle cooking alone, so she hesitated. “How about you go to the mountain instead?”

Picking tea shouldn’t be too tiring.

Lu Buyu: “Okay, you can choose what you like to do. Leave the rest to me!”

The crew refused to agree. Cooking was obviously more difficult! The ingredients were also set today!

That’s right, they just wanted to film Lu Buyu cooking! This was no vacation show!

It’s time to let him know the hardships of life!      

Assistant director: “No, the rule is that the babies should go pick tea leaves.”

According to seniority, they were divided into the baby group and the parent group.

In addition to the competition of each group, the show had also arranged a battle in the baby and parent group.

Lu Wan: “That’s right, he’s our family’s baby so he will go pick tea leaves.”

Everyone in the program team: “?”

Lu Buyu: “……”

The guests in other groups also laughed.

The assistant director gently persuaded, saying that it wasn’t in line with the rules of the game. Lu Buyu then said that he would stay at home.

Lu Buyu patted his chest. “Don’t worry and go. I’ll make you a table of dishes.”

Lu Wan hesitated for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, “If you can’t figure it out, just sleep at home and wait for me to come back. I’ll try to hurry up.”

“I’m sure I can do it!”

Lu Wan: “……Don’t burn the house down by fooling around and wet the bed.”

Lu Buyu: “……”

Lu Wan shrugged. All right, nothing should probably happen. The program team were following after all.

The other guests looked at Lu Buyu.

They really admire him. More than bringing a younger sister, it was like bringing a great master.

The elders in other groups sighed one after another. Lu Buyu was obviously the youngest amongst them, but he had the easiest time. He had enough food last night and this morning, and he could even wait at home without doing anything.

The juniors in other groups were very emotional. They lacked an elder like Lu Wan.

……They didn’t know if they could have a delicious hot meal when they come back from picking tea leaves.

Except for Lu Buyu, everyone was worried.
