Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Moving into the Guardian’s Home

[I think I’ve read about the story of Ginseng Village online before, it really happened!]

[I’m from a nearby town, I can confirm, it’s a true story!]

[The show’s team previously clarified there’s no script, so it must be true.]

[It does sound a lot like the Mountain Deity is angry, I’ve often heard elders say that mountains that can nurture medicinal plants have spiritual qualities. Perhaps there really is a Mountain Deity.]

[With all the development in recent years, quite a few forests have been exploited rather harshly. It’s not impossible for the Mountain Deity to issue a warning.]

[Oh my god, if that’s true, won’t there be an accident if the guests go there?]

[No, my kind Mountain Deity, even if it’s a warning, it’s very gentle. At least I haven’t heard of any fatalities so far.]

[Messing up the village and digging out newly formed ginseng, tossing them around casually, you call that gentle? That’s money, you know! The investors must be having a hard time, right?]

[Hmm, I’m confident about my mentor and little angel.]

[Hey, hey, are you guys looking down on our Amber? Why leave him out?]

[Hey, hey, hey, are you overlooking our William, Ariel, and Scarlett? Why exclude them?]

[As everyone knows, in esoteric studies, the other three are "amateurs," they just need to be charming and beautiful.]

Amidst the lively debate among the live stream viewers about the theme incident this time, the show’s vehicle already brought the six guests to a village at the foot of the mountain.

They called it a village, but what they saw were at least two-story small buildings.

This was thanks to the fame of ginseng digging in the area. Fueled by techniques in growing and digging ginseng and the profits from selling it, almost every household was doing well.

At a glance, you basically didn’t see any particularly poor families.

"This village looks so affluent, nothing like those rural areas you see on TV."

Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but comment first, and next to her, Amber Livingston naturally seized every camera-attracting opportunity to explain,

"After all, it’s a famous Ginseng Village. Those particularly backward rural areas you see on TV are closer to the deep mountains, those places develop slower. Now, most rural areas in our country are doing well. Their self-built houses are more luxurious than some villas."

As he spoke, he let everyone look at the stone archway they had just passed,

"That stone archway we just went through, typically only wealthier villages would build such an archway. It’s the face of the entire village. The specifications differ and reflect the wealth levels.

Like the one we just passed, with extended eaves, cloud patterns carved below, and a pair of drumstones in front, it symbolizes auspiciousness and warding off evil."

It had to be said, after these two episodes, Amber Livingston began to find his position in the show.

Though he claimed to worship an out-of-body fairy publicly, only he knew he lacked real skills, especially when compared to Evander Simpson and Scarlett Jennings. The more he tried to show off, the more pretentious he seemed.

After the guest mishaps in the past two episodes, Amber was genuinely scared.

So he seriously reviewed his performance in the first two episodes and re-planned for himself. Finally, he found a niche on the show.

That was to be responsible for explaining folk customs and esoteric knowledge.

Evander and Scarlett had done this before, but clearly, they weren’t the talkative types. Ariel handled the atmosphere in the show, so naturally, he had to take on the rest.

Fortunately, in these years as a spiritual broadcaster, he’d accumulated a fair amount of knowledge, and having prepared before coming, explaining became second nature.

The guests listened with great interest.

Except for William Zeller.

He felt like his lines were being stolen.

After all, as the host, introducing and explaining should have been his job.

The last time he felt this way was when Amber hosted the interactive session in the live stream in his place.

And judging by Amber’s current performance, he was becoming addicted to hosting.

He was trying to take his job!

William felt a bit nervous and quickly picked up where Amber left off, warmly introducing the village.

Because the village was fairly developed, it had more young people compared to those villages with only elders left behind.

Among them, many followed live streams online or had favorite celebrities, so they were quite excited about the show’s team coming.

Compared to the low-key arrivals before, this time the show was greeted with an enthusiastic welcome from the village.

William, along with the ensemble of guests and crew, got off the car and was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic villagers led by the village chief.

The village chief first shook hands with William to express welcome and then briefly discussed the village’s situation,

"The house we prepared for you all has been vacated and cleaned. We’ve also coordinated with the families who will be hosting the guests, and they’ll take good care of everyone."

William expressed his gratitude and explained to the six guests,

"As per coordination between the show’s team and the village chief, the guests will be divided into pairs to stay with village families. These three households were apparently previously disturbed,

After moving in, you’ll need to investigate to understand the truth behind the harassments of the villagers and the ginseng keepers. Tomorrow, the show will organize a trip into the mountains to inspect the damaged ginseng forest."

Staying in pairs was also to prevent any unexpected situation during lodging.

Given this group lodging arrangement, Scarlett Jennings and Ariel Zimmerman were, without a doubt, grouped together.

Ariel immediately hugged Scarlett in excitement.

"Oh! Third episode, and I finally get to team up with Scarlett for action! We’re more than just sleeping partners now."

Ariel’s words, with deliberate teasing undertones, instantly amused the show’s guests and the live stream audience.

Ariel then deliberately shot a smug look at the four in the other two groups,

"This episode you’ll definitely lose!"

After the first two episodes, even the netizens subtly agreed that Scarlett Jennings was the key to victory.

Some netizens even concluded that "those who have Scarlett win."

Scarlett had gotten used to Ariel’s warmth and antics, simply smiling and letting her cling to her.

Subsequently, the three guest groups drew lots and each, carrying their luggage, found the families they were staying with.

Since it was part of the program and the village chief had instructed villagers not to deliberately disturb the show’s filming, the individuals split up, following signs and asking directions, to find their respective "homes."

The house Scarlett Jennings and Ariel Zimmerman were assigned to was the home of the ginseng keeper who had been frequently pranked before. He was the second son of the family and, fearing the Mountain Deity, had moved back home to live.

Hearing it was a ginseng keeper, Ariel was a bit curious, "Scarlett, do you think there’s really a Mountain Deity?"

Scarlett shook her head without answering, but as she stepped into the house, she keenly perceived a peculiar aura.

Her steps paused slightly.

Her gaze shifted, apricot eyes clear, accurately landing on a middle-aged man in his forties in the family.

This man was indeed the second son of the family, the ginseng keeper.
