After walking a little further, they encountered a chubby woman who seemed very anxious by the roadside.
The aunt said that her fat hen had gone missing, and that hen laid golden eggs. If a kind-hearted person could find it, she would surely give a generous reward.
The two searched around the area, following the plastic eggs painted gold on the ground, and eventually found the toy chick hidden under a pile of grass.
On the way to find the aunt, Xiao Can held it in his hand and played with it, saying, “It looks just like my Cluck egg.”
“The one Tan Zhen gave you?” He Xingzhou asked.
“Yeah,” Xiao Can suddenly thought of something, “Don’t you think cluck egg looks a bit like Charlie!”
He Xingzhou thought for a moment. “Fatter than Charlie.”
This was originally a very ordinary conversation, but Xiao Can thought that He Xingzhou must have seen the image of the cluck egg from his Weibo.
In addition to the video on Baitao, did He Xingzhou also dig through his Weibo?
“Charlie is cuter,” He Xingzhou said again.
“That’s for sure, I…” Xiao Can hesitated.
“Hmm?”
Xiao Can shook his head. He originally wanted to say, “I really miss him,” but when the words came to his lips, he felt it wasn’t appropriate.
“I also think Charlie is cuter. Charlie is the cutest,” Xiao Can said.
He Xingzhou really liked his answer and nodded satisfactorily.
After handing the hen to the aunt, they did indeed receive a puzzle piece.
The task was already completed, but He Xingzhou insisted on stirring up trouble.
“This is a hen that lays golden eggs. We returned the egg we found, and you’re only giving us one plastic piece?” he asked.
“But this is a treasure, it can bring good luck!” the aunt said.
“There are at least sixty-three of these treasures in the world,” He Xingzhou said confidently, “but a hen that lays golden eggs is unique.”
The aunt, just an actor following the script, felt somewhat helpless at his stubbornness and said with a smile, “Then what should we do?”
“Give us a few more pieces?” He Xingzhou negotiated with her.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I only have this one,” the aunt said. “Why don’t you continue searching nearby? It seems like someone over there needs help.”
This was undoubtedly a hint. Xiao Can didn’t want to waste time, so he immediately nodded. “Okay, thank you, we’ll leave now.”
But He Xingzhou had a different opinion.
“We’ll help the people over there later,” he persisted, “I just don’t think it’s worth it to stay here.”
“What should we do then?” The aunt was also at a loss. “I can’t give you the hen, can I?”
“You can,” He Xingzhou said.
The air fell silent for three seconds.
The aunt didn’t expect him to say this and was stunned.
Xiao Can nudged him with his elbow and gritted his teeth, saying, “What are you doing?”
“I don’t know,” He Xingzhou said, “Since she’s giving it, just take it.”
The task was completed, so the props were naturally useless. The aunt handed over the “hen that lays golden eggs” along with four “golden eggs.”
Xiao Can held it in his hand, complaining as he walked, “We have to carry it with us all the way.”
“It’s quite cute,” He Xingzhou said.
Xiao Can had no choice but to sigh with a bitter smile.
As they walked in the direction indicated by the aunt, they soon saw a tall pile of coarse cloth sacks.
Two people next to it were struggling to move the sacks, walking with difficulty.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Tan Zhen and Yumi.
“What are you doing?” Xiao Can ran over and asked, “Helping to move things?”
“It’s none of your business!” Yumi shouted. “This has nothing to do with you, go away, go away!”
Xiao Can immediately understood that the task here probably required helping to move heavy objects, and Yumi was afraid that they would snatch the puzzle piece that was about to be obtained.
“Mr. He had shoulder surgery recently, and I can’t carry as fast as I could alone,” he explained to Yumi. “We can’t snatch this one from you.”
Tan Zhen put down the sack he was dragging and looked at him, suddenly asking, “What is that in your hand?”
“This?” Xiao Can raised it up to show them. “This is what we just…”
He suddenly remembered something and quickly used his hand to block the hen, changing his words, “I can’t tell you.”
Tan Zhen and Yumi exchanged glances, casting curious glances at him.
Xiao Can stuffed the hen into He Xingzhou’s arms and said, “You quickly put it away.” Then he waved his hand at the two of them and pushed He Xingzhou away. “We won’t waste your time, we’re leaving now!”
He Xingzhou held the hen and was pushed away by him, looking back frequently, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Shut up,” Xiao Can lowered his voice and threatened him, “If you dare to speak, I’ll kill you.”
He Xingzhou pursed his lips.
When they reached a slightly farther place, Xiao Can reminded him, “If anyone asks what this is later, don’t say anything, got it?”
He Xingzhou silently turned his head and glanced at the cameramen who had been following them.
“Please,” Xiao Can’s attitude softened instantly, “Mr. He, just help out!”
“Okay,” He Xingzhou said.
Xiao Can gave him a thumbs up and continued walking forward.
He Xingzhou followed behind him and said, “You see, this hen exchange turned out to be quite useful, right?”
Xiao Can raised his hand and fist-bumped him. “Impressive, impressive.”
After that, they successfully obtained four puzzle pieces of different colors.
As dinner time approached, the two encountered two members of the “I Definitely Will” team at a small noodle stall.
Xiao Can enthusiastically greeted them, taking the initiative to ask if they could sit at the same table.
After a lively chat, Xiao Can asked, “How was your search today?”
“Not bad, not good, just so-so,” one of them replied.
“You’re being modest, Qin, ” Xiao Can straightened up and glanced at his pocket intentionally. “I see your bag is bulging!”
Qin was the Beta actor invited by Baitao. Xiao Can had dealt with him a few times and knew him, but they weren’t close.
“Let’s not talk about that,” Qin ge pointed to the hen that He Xingzhou was holding in his arms. “I was just about to ask, what is this?”
Xiao Can’s expression stiffened instantly. While reaching out to cover it, he said, “It’s nothing, just a toy.”
“Oh?” Qin ge said, “I see it’s got the Baitao logo on it.”
“Does it?” Xiao Can said, “Then it’s just a chicken with the Baitao logo, nothing special.”
Qin ge narrowed his eyes and turned to He Xingzhou. “I’m not asking him, I’m asking you. Is there something special about this thing?”
Xiao Can was extremely nervous, secretly pulling on He Xingzhou’s clothes under the table.
He Xingzhou remained calm. “He won’t let me say.”
Qin ge was surprised. “Oh, you listen to him like that?”
“I was just joking,” Xiao Can said while still tugging at He Xingzhou. “Mr. He, just say it, it doesn’t matter. Is it just an ordinary toy or not?”
“Yes,” He Xingzhou smiled at Qin ge, “it’s just an ordinary toy, nothing special.”
Faced with this honest answer, Qin ge raised his finger and said firmly, “This thing must be special!”
He Xingzhou smiled but didn’t say anything, looking mysterious.
