In your past life, you looked down on me. Now that I have been reborn, I have become your uncle.
On the day of the engagement banquet, his fiancée went missing.
Having just been reborn,...
After seeing Fang Chen and Xia Wan come out, Ling Xuan served three bowls of porridge: "Eat quickly, Zhuang Yan and the others will go to sleep after dinner. I'm so tired today, I feel like I can fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes."
Ling Xuan muttered to himself, blowing on the steam. The porridge was just the right amount of salt and tasted good, but the color was a bit unappetizing.
Xia Wan looked at the bowl of porridge with a hint of blue: "Is this edible?"
Ling Xuan said, "Yes, it's edible. This is the color of this mushroom. Don't worry, the locals all say it's edible."
Really? But the mushroom porridge she used to eat was always yellowish, she'd never had a blue one before.
Xia Wan didn't want to eat, but she hadn't eaten much at noon and had been walking around all afternoon, so the food in her stomach had long been used up. If she didn't eat soon, she was afraid she would have low blood sugar.
Xia Wan took a sip of the porridge. The taste was a little strange, but still within an acceptable range. The porridge was slightly salty. Xia Wan finished the porridge in the bowl and then ate a few more bites of mushrooms.
After finishing the meal, she offered to wash the dishes.
Two grown men would naturally not let a girl like her do such rough work. Even if she wanted to, a pampered young lady like her couldn't do it well and would only cause trouble for others.
Fang Chen quickly said, "Let me do it. You go and rest, or you can sprinkle the snake repellent around the area to prevent snakes and insects from getting close when you sleep at night."
Xia Wan listened.
Fang Chen and Ling Xuan washed the dishes together, and the only light in the woods came from the production crew's lamps.
It was cooler in the mountains than in the village, and the wind felt icy cold on his skin. Ling Xuan had never gone camping before, and this kind of deep mountain forest reminded him of horror movies and made him feel eerie.
Taking advantage of the large number of people around, Ling Xuan quickly finished washing up and went back to his tent.
The director patrolled from Zhuang Yan's area to Xia Wan's, asking with concern, "Did you feel unwell after eating the mushrooms?"
Ling Xuan poked his head out of the tent and said, "No, it's been cooking for over ten minutes, it should be cooked through and not poisonous by now."
"Should?" The director's heart skipped a beat, a strange unease creeping in. "Didn't the eldest sister come to check on you when you finished?"
Ling Xuan also remembered this. The director was worried that the guests might get poisoned from eating mushrooms, so he not only invited a doctor but also two locals to help them identify which mushrooms were edible. In addition, he showed them the cooked mushrooms so they could judge whether they were fully cooked and edible by their color.
However, when they finished cooking, their eldest sister wasn't there, and since they were starving, they started eating right away and forgot about the meal.
Ling Xuan didn't take it seriously and remained confident: "Director, don't worry, we're perfectly healthy now, we're fine, we won't get poisoned."
He was really worried... The director didn't know what to say, so he could only offer his hopes.
8 PM.
Xia Wan packed up the tent and waited for An Xinrong to come and apologize to her.
She waited until dark, until all the staff had packed up the machines, but she still didn't come.
Could it be that An Xinrong really wants to break off their friendship? When did she become so stubborn, so stubborn that she won't even come back to the tent? Where will she sleep tonight?
What she didn't know was that An Xinrong had already entered Lu Yan's tent.
Lu Yan slept in the middle, while she and Jiang Ning slept on the sides. An Xinrong slept in the innermost part, afraid to sleep near the door for fear of snakes outside.
Fortunately, it was cold in the mountains, and the three of them were warm enough to sleep together. Lu Yan also smelled quite nice. She had rarely seen Lu Yan wear makeup during the long time she had been filming the show. When she saw Lu Yan washing her face at night, she simply used water, and her skin looked exceptionally good.
Lu Yan is five years older than her. If only she could look as well-maintained as Lu Yan at 27.
An Xinrong realized that Lu Yan wasn't as annoying as she had imagined... Why did she dislike Lu Yan in the first place? It seemed to be because Xia Wan had always disliked her aunt, and she believed something Xia Wan said.
An Xinrong kept moving, and Lu Yan opened her eyes: "Can't you sleep?"
An Xinrong froze, and after a long silence, she said with some difficulty, "I need to go to the toilet."
I drank too much mushroom soup last night, and my stomach is full of water. I keep wanting to go to the toilet, and I even dream about looking for one.
"I dare not go, I'm afraid there are snakes outside."
Without saying a word, Lu Yan propped herself up, found a flashlight and turned it on: "I'll go with you."
The staff set up a makeshift toilet not far from here; the area was spacious and the surrounding weeds had been cleared away.
Because she saw a snake in the tree that morning, An Xinrong not only looked at the ground but also at the tree, her eyes constantly darting around. She clasped her hands together and muttered to herself.
Lu Yan looked at An Xinrong: "What are you mumbling about?"
An Xinrong said, "I once saw someone online say that if you see a snake, you should pray to it so that it won't come looking for you, and then you won't see any snakes for the rest of the year. I saw a snake this morning, but I was too scared to remember, so I'm making up for it now."
Lu Yan stopped in her tracks: "Then you can continue your prayers slowly. We've reached the restroom. Should I wait for you inside or outside?"
An Xinrong was a little embarrassed and a little nervous and scared: "Let's go outside. Please don't leave. You must wait for me."
Lu Yan waited outside for a while, and soon An Xinrong rushed out and grabbed Lu Yan's arm: "There are so many bugs inside, it's scary, let's go back quickly."
Lu Yan lowered her eyes, staring blankly at her hands, and asked, "Did you wash your hands?"
An Xinrong subconsciously let go of her arm: "How can we wash without a tap?"
"There's a bucket of water inside."
"Oh, so that's for washing hands." An Xinrong turned around. "Then shine the light on me and wait for me."
An Xinrong quickly washed her hands, shook off the water, wiped them on her clothes, and then reached out to take Lu Yan's arm.
She had no choice but to try to stop him; she was afraid.
On the way back, I heard noises coming from the next tent, like painful groans and vomiting.
An Xinrong looked over there curiously and saw the director bringing a doctor over. More and more staff members rushed over, and the lights were on.
"What's wrong?" An Xinrong asked Lu Yan.
Lu Yan quickly concluded: "She may have been poisoned by eating mushrooms."
"Huh?" An Xinrong couldn't believe it. Weren't there locals watching over them? How could they still be poisoned?
Xia Wan ate with them, so wouldn't that mean Xia Wan was also poisoned?
Lu Yan: "Are you worried about Xia Wan?"
An Xinrong's silence was an admission of consent.
"Shall we go take a look?" Lu Yan asked, leading An Xinrong by the hand.
The director was so anxious his hair stood on end. He had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and he didn't expect it to actually happen.
Upon seeing Lu Yan and An Xinrong, he was taken aback: "Why are you here? Are you not feeling well either?!"
"No, we're fine. What's their situation?" Lu Yan asked, pointing inside.
The director said, "All three of them have been poisoned. The doctor is helping them induce vomiting. We need to get them down the mountain and to a nearby hospital immediately."
There was already enough Gu Qian in the hospital, and now three more people have gone in, so the four of them are just enough to make a mahjong table.
Xia Wan felt like she was going to vomit, was dizzy, had difficulty breathing, saw colorful halos in front of her eyes, and saw mutated little flying insects.
