Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 429 How embarrassing!

"Aunt Yang, come quick and take a look, is this the key you lost?"

Aunt Yang suddenly realized what she was doing, and hurriedly ran over to take a look. Her face lit up with surprise and she exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes, this is our front door key!"

After saying that, he quickly grabbed the key, went to open the door, and rushed into the kitchen to put out the fire.

Because they returned in time, a large pot of old hen soup was stewed to perfection, and when the lid was lifted, the aroma could be smelled even outside by Du Anrao and the others.

Ke Zhaozhao's stomach growled loudly, startling everyone present.

The little girl was shy, and her face turned red instantly. She hugged Du Hexuan's neck and hid behind him, too embarrassed to face anyone.

As soon as she hid, she heard an even louder gurgling sound from below.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Hexuan, and the smile on Du Hexuan's face froze.

Du Hexuan from the previous second: Hehe.

The next second, Du Hexuan: No, hehe.

The two adults and one child stared at each other for a long time, and finally burst into laughter at the same time.

Meanwhile, Aunt Yang, having finished cooking in the kitchen and checked the chicken soup, rushed out from the inner room and gratefully grasped Du Anrao's hand, saying, "Child, I really owe you a debt of gratitude today. Otherwise, even if I turned the whole village upside down, I probably wouldn't have found that the key was hidden in the soil of my own yard. But how did you know that my key was in there? That's truly... amazing!"

This is also a question that the staff filming the scene, as well as the viewers and fans in the live stream, are curious about.

Du Anrao didn't keep anyone in suspense and mentioned the character "armor" that Aunt Yang had given him before.

"The character '铠' (kǎi) has '金' (jīn, metal) on the left, '山' (shān, mountain) on the right, and '己' (jǐ, self). Auntie's house key is made of metal, which belongs to the metal element, and it matches the left side of this character. Now that the key is lost, Auntie, you gave me this character, which means that the key's whereabouts are precisely in this character. The right side of '铠' has '山' (shān, mountain) on top and '己' (jǐ) on the bottom, and '己' (jǐ) refers to Auntie's own house, which means that the key has not left Auntie's house area and is in the vicinity."

"As Auntie just said, she used the same key to lock the door when she left this morning, so the area where it was lost can be narrowed down to the distance from the door to the inside of the wall."

"Then how do you know the key is underground?"

"On the right side of the character '铠' (kǎi), besides '己' (jǐ), there is also '山' (shān). '山' belongs to the element of earth, and it's pressing down on '己'..."

Du Hexuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he answered first, "That means the key should be buried somewhere in the ground in this yard!"

Du Anrao nodded with a faint smile, and her nod caused an uproar in the courtyard, while the live broadcast room exploded with excitement.

Words like "awesome," "big shot," and "worship" flooded the screen, dazzling viewers and causing the live stream's topics and popularity to soar.

Aunt Yang was clearly shocked by Du Anrao's series of deductions, but there was still one question she didn't quite understand.

"But...but even if I knew the key was buried in the ground, my vegetable garden isn't small, how did you know it was there?"

"So I took a look at the exact location from your front door to the vegetable garden. I think you must have been in a hurry to leave this morning, and after locking the door, you just put the key in your pocket. As a result, the key fell out and you kicked it into the soil of the vegetable garden, which led to this situation today."

"That's right, that's right. I did have something urgent to do this morning and had to leave. All correct, all correct. You're such a smart and meticulous kid, you're so outstanding."

After hearing these words, Aunt Yang was completely won over by Du Anrao's abilities and grew to like her more and more.

"Thank you so much for today. My son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are coming home tonight, and this chicken soup is for them. If I hadn't been able to find the key, I would have had to go to the village entrance to find the blacksmith to help me pick the lock. That would have taken up half a day. Now it's all so convenient, saving me a lot of trouble." Aunt Yang said, glancing at Du Anrao and the other two, then suddenly understanding what she meant. She smiled and said, "It's almost dinnertime, haven't you all eaten yet? Why don't you eat here? I'll go and cook you a couple more dishes right away, it'll be ready in no time."

All this work for just one sentence from my aunt.

Du Anrao's eyes lit up, and the tuft of hair on his head stood up, but he still pretended to be reserved: "How embarrassing!"

Du Hexuan: "..."

The viewers in the live stream: "..."

So affected, so incredibly affected!
Aunt Yang, being a warm-hearted person, immediately agreed, saying, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I'll go in and cook right away, it'll be ready soon. You can sit in the yard for a while, or go take a look at the house next door. The family next door is the best off in our village, and their house is the most beautiful. Their flowers are in full bloom right now, and they're so pretty. You young ladies should like it."

Du Anrao and his sister exchanged a glance, intuitively sensing that their aunt's words had a hidden meaning. After watching their aunt pick a few handfuls of fresh vegetables from her own vegetable garden and bring them into the house, the two decided to go next door to take a look, just as she had suggested.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard and walked to the next house, I saw the familiar program crew's specially made number plate—1—hanging on the side wall next door.

Du Anrao: "..."

Du Hexuan: "..."

Production crew: "..."

Viewers in the live stream: "..."

Silence prevailed in the small mountain village this morning.

The live stream chat remained blank for a few seconds before a large, bold red exclamation slowly floated by.

【Wow, we found a place already?!】

Those who witnessed everything were speechless. Not only had they found it, but according to Aunt Yang, it seemed to be the best set available.

That's incredible luck!

After the initial shock, Du Hexuan quickly recovered and turned to the camera crew to confirm: "Is this the house you arranged?"

The camera crew must have been quite annoyed, as they moved the camera up and down to confirm the matter with Du Hexuan.

Du Anrao stood to the side, stroking his chin thoughtfully: "Looks like my calculations were right, going that way was the right thing to do. Now we have a house and food, mission accomplished, oh yeah!"

The little girl in Du Hexuan's arms probably realized that her two older brothers and sisters wouldn't hurt her. Compared to her pitiful appearance at the beginning, where she was timid and didn't dare to speak loudly, she became much more lively. At this moment, she clapped and praised her, saying, "Sister is so amazing!"

Du Hexuan looked at Du Anrao, then at the little guy in his arms, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"No, I'm her temporary father, but she calls you 'sister.' Isn't that a bit off about the generational relationship?"

“What’s wrong with that? She calls me ‘sister,’ which means I look young. You’re not her biological father. That’s enough. Let’s each do our own thing and not interfere with each other.”

Du Hexuan: "..." Is this even possible?
