After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 408 Just those two bugs? I want to buy it.

Most of the actors who remained on site simply rode their chosen horses around the designated riding area for a short while before dismounting and going back to rest.

After all, they had all done some training before joining the crew after learning that their roles included horseback riding scenes. Riding horses was not a problem; the current focus was more on getting used to the horses they would be riding in the upcoming scenes.

After leaving the horse farm area, Jiang Hanying rode around the lake that Pei Yuan had mentioned earlier.

After running the entire lap without stopping, even though the black horse was full of energy, it was so tired that it was panting heavily when it stopped. After Jiang Hanying jumped off its back, it walked to the lakeside and drank water for a while.

Jiang Hanying, holding a horsewhip, used the end to pick up a flat, round stone from the bank and skipped it across the water. She was counting how many times the stone bounced on the surface when she heard footsteps approaching.

She watched intently as the stone sank into the water, then turned her head to glance at the person who had come.

He said irritably, "What are you doing here?"

Lin An was also looking at the spot where the stone entered the water, and replied, "We have a long night shoot tonight. I heard from the crew that we might set up camp right there after filming. You need to be careful, someone in the crew might try to harm you."

Previously, after filming, I would go straight back to the hotel to rest, but this time I stayed in this desolate wilderness for the whole night.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't have let such a good opportunity to take action pass him by.

Furthermore, the Bai family uncle and nephew only have a few days left on set, and they might choose to take action in their haste.

After thinking it over, he decided to come over and give him a heads-up.

Jiang Hanying then looked at Lin An properly, a little surprised, but mostly amused, "Just those two little bugs?"

"What bug?"

Judging from Lin An's expression, Jiang Hanying was certain that this person genuinely didn't know what the Bai uncle and nephew were actually.

Yes, he's just a nobody at best.

In the eyes of those in power, subordinates don't need to know much; they just need to obediently follow orders and do their jobs.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore."

Jiang Hanying led the black horse that had drunk its fill of water, jumped onto its back, flicked the whip, and rode away.

Lin An was left standing alone by the lake, frowning and deep in thought for a long time.

Although the task of either capturing the monkey alive or killing it to silence it was canceled, another task on his mind was more difficult for him.

Li Zhi said that the Bai family uncle and nephew had a personal grudge against Jiang Hanying. However, the former was in a cooperative relationship with the master, and the latter was someone the master had personally ordered not to be harmed by the Bai family uncle and nephew.

Caught in the middle, he couldn't persuade the Bai family uncle and nephew to give up targeting Jiang Hanying, and he also had to find a way to ensure the safety of both sides. This was definitely the most difficult task he had ever taken on.

As for the true identities of the Bai family uncle and nephew... he really didn't know.

But Jiang Hanying clearly knew.

"insect……"

Is Jiang Hanying's description a reflection of her view of the Bai family uncle and nephew as two annoying little bugs, or is it simply a literal interpretation?
The second guess seemed a bit far-fetched, but after thinking about it carefully, it became somewhat chilling.

How could a living person be an insect?

Jiang Hanying rode back to the horse farm.

Pei Yuan and the staff member who had been waiting for her at the horse farm breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return safely.

Pei Yuan cautiously approached, "Sister, is the horse ready?"

"It's fine in front of me."

"In front of you?" Pei Yuan opened her mouth. "What do you mean?"

"Look, it's not afraid of me at all."

"Hmm?" Pei Yuan's brain raced for a moment before a thought finally struck her. "Wait, sister, you mean this horse isn't afraid of you, which proves it's still abnormal?"

“Yes, that’s what I mean.” Pei Yuan: “…”

Suddenly I'm a little unsure what to say.

She suddenly remembered the three albino bears (one big and two small) that her friend Han Ying encountered when filming the second episode of "Absolute Experience".

At the time, many people in the live chat speculated that the bear was pretending to be dead and showing off its belly in front of Han Ying because it was actually scared.

It's a bit unbelievable, how could a bear be afraid of people?
But the bear's behavior doesn't lie; you have to believe it whether you want to or not, otherwise there's no way to explain it.

And just now, Yuan Chaoyu's Wind Chaser seemed to behave strangely after Sister Hanying approached. That shouldn't be the shyness Xin Linglong mentioned, but fear, right?

After they moved away, things returned to normal.

From this perspective, only this dark horse must be out of its mind, completely unaware of fear, to be able to distinguish itself from other animals and not be afraid of Sister Hanying.

This logic becomes self-consistent at this point.

After trying to figure it all out, Pei Yuan suddenly realized, "So that's why you'd rather have your scenes cut than ride a horse. Turns out there weren't any horses available for you to ride. No, now there are."

This crazy horse really is the only option.

"But is there really no danger? It may not be afraid of you, but it is still crazy after all."

"Don't worry, suppressing a horse is easy!"

This horse doesn't have a brain; it will naturally submit if you are stronger than it.

Unlike those two insects, who, despite having brains, love to do things that are beyond their capabilities.

They'd be better off without a brain.

"Oh, by the way," Jiang Hanying handed the riding crop back to the staff member who had returned from tying up the horse, "I need your help with something."

"Please go ahead, Teacher Jiang."

"Could you ask the owner of the horse for me if he's selling the one I just rode?"

"Huh?" The staff member, realizing they were already used to being around Jiang Hanying, paused for a moment. "Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Jiang Hanying nodded affirmatively at him, "Yes."

"...Then, I'll call him later and ask. It should be for sale."

"Okay, if you get a definite answer while I'm busy, just let my assistant know."

"Okay, okay."

After saying goodbye to the staff and walking towards the film set, Pei Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Sis, why did you suddenly want to buy that horse?"

Not only was the staff member caught off guard by the question, but she was also quite shocked.

"You need to find a place to keep this horse after you buy it, and you have to take it for a walk and run it from time to time, otherwise it will be ruined. The worst part is that the horse's brain is damaged!"

Given their current circumstances, there's simply no place where they'd be suitable to buy a horse to raise!
"If I don't buy it, it will be sent back after filming, and then it will be killed and eaten."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. It seems like no one but you dares to ride this crazy horse. And that's the only fate of a horse that no one rides."

"It's a horse I rode, after all. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it being killed and eaten right after it turned around."

Pei Yuan: "..."

Isn't that a bit too domineering?
"By the way, look up how much it costs to buy a horse. If you're out of your mind, you should be able to get a much cheaper price, right?"

Pei Yuan: "..."

The words have already been spoken; isn't it a bit too late to worry about the money now?
