King of Film Xu sat confidently by the fishing platform, but Cheng Lu found him unreliable, so she thought of other thods, seeking to trade drawings with the village won for so food.
Tao Ti sat beside King of Film Xu, quietly waiting.
Ti slowly passed...
The lake was calm, without any ripples.
King of Film Xu felt awkward, but still persisted.
Eventually, Tao Ti, still just a child, grew restless. Taking advantage of King of Film Xu's inattention, she sneaked away.
She rubbed her numb little bottom and looked around, hoping to find sothing like wild shepherd's purse, like she used to forage in the mountains and bring ho.
Shepherd's purse with tofu was delicious; it was also one of her grandfather's signature dishes.
A caraman was assigned to follow Tao Ti, keeping a distance that wouldn't let the little girl notice.
As Tao Ti walked along the lake, she suddenly heard a splash.
Looking toward the sound, she saw a man in an ethnic Unlined Garnt falling into the water.
Without a word, the caraman dropped his equipnt and dived in to save the man.
The caraman felt sothing entangle his leg under the water and joined in shouting for help.
Tao Ti saw differently than ordinary people—she saw a woman in the water with long, long hair. Her long hair had entangled the n's feet, preventing them from swimming to shore.
Tao Ti swallowed nervously.
In her dreams, she had learned that such beings were called Evil Spirits, and if bundled up, they could turn into various delicious foods!
Tao Ti dove into the water, her small form as agile as a fish. She swam up to the long-haired woman, who lifted her head to reveal a hideous and terrifying face.
Tao Ti wasn't afraid at all and stretched out her tender little hand toward her.
The woman's eyes displayed shock and fear, but it was too late—Tao Ti pressed on her head, causing her to shrink.
The hair retracted, freeing the two n.
With nothing entangling their legs anymore, the caraman and the man in the Unlined Garnt could swim by themselves.
Under the water, Tao Ti bunched up an invisible black mist; under her gaze, the mist turned into a piece of hazelnut chocolate. Tao Ti took a bite, swallowed the chocolate, and revealed a blissful, satisfied smile.
The caraman swam to shore and realized Tao Ti was still in the water. He shouted frantically, "Little Taotie, where are you?"
Just as he was about to dive back in to search for her, Tao Ti swam to shore herself and cocked her little head, saying, "Uncle, sothing was entangling your legs under the water, I took care of it!"
Only then did the caraman rember sothing had been entangling their legs, and suddenly they were freed, all thanks to the little one's intervention.
"Was it seaweed? Did you untie it for ? Thank you, Little Taotie, you really saved my life!" The caraman was overjoyed, pulled out a candy from his pocket, "Wait for noon, I'll secretly bring you so treats!"
He had decided, if King of Film Xu and Cheng Lu couldn't get food, he would take it upon himself to feed Little Taotie.
Tao Ti took the candy, peeled off the wet wrapper, and gobbled it down, revealing a sweet smile, "Thank you, Uncle!"
The man in the Unlined Garnt ca over and introduced himself, "I'm Guodong Cheng. From now on, you are my lifesaver, Guodong Cheng. With covering you, no one will dare to bully you!"
The nearby caraman nearly dropped his jaw. He thought, This is the show's biggest investor! Has Little Taotie just secured a golden supporter?
"Brother, do you have sothing to eat? I'm really hungry." She wasn't hungry before, but eating "chocolate" and candy had stirred up her appetite. Tao Ti rubbed her stomach and looked pitifully at the man in the Unlined Garnt.
She thought, after saving Caraman Uncle, he gave her candy, so could this brother also give her so goodies?
Brother! Guodong's eyes lit up.
He was twenty-six this year but looked much older due to his love for farming and spending a lot of ti in the sun. Thus, children often called him Uncle or even Grandpa to tease him.
Finding a child with good eyesight was rare, so Guodong laughed heartily, "This little sister, I, Guodong Cheng, acknowledge you. From now on, you are my sister from another father and mother! Co on, big brother will take you for so good food!"
The caraman was dumbfounded, watching as the show's biggest investor went to indulge Little Taotie with fine food, unable to intervene, he quickly contacted the director.
