Chapter 37: The Terror in the Water and the Sachet

Qi Gu looked at the gurgling stream and said, "Everyone stay away from that stream."

He saw strands of black lines in the clear and transparent water, which showed that there was something under the water.

The other crew members naturally believed Qi Gu and nodded to thank him. Even those who had collapsed on the ground maintained their original posture and dragged their butts towards a place farther away from the water.

Only Shachuan was worried and thought that Qi Gu said this because he might have discovered the jade bracelet in the water and wanted to take it for himself.

That won’t work, he saw it first!

Qi Gu had no idea what was going on in his mind, and was secretly struggling with the dinner choices given by the program crew.

The staff brought self-heating hot pot and self-heating beef brisket rice, both of which were Qi Gu’s favorites.

The staff member was the assistant who accompanied Qi Gu from the airport to the B&B. She smiled and said, "If you like both, you can have both. We specially prepared a few extra portions."

After these words came out, Qi Gu's eyes were bright and he smiled brilliantly: "Thank you."

Soon, the staff and guests sat together in groups of three or four to eat.

After the cameraman set up the camera facing the crowd, he also went to get his meal.

Qi Gu, Lin Hanzhi, Mu Xingchen and Pubugesang sat together, and the four of them were eating from the steaming self-heating pot.

Shachuan was not very popular, so no one noticed that he had secretly left the team and walked towards the stream that seemed clear and the water was only calf-high.

But what he didn't notice was that a cameraman pointed his camera at the stream, trying to capture the natural scenery of Qingji Mountain.

[What a beautiful view]

[Ah...Why did Shachuan suddenly come over here? 】

[Maybe come and wash your hands]

[Didn’t Qi Gu say that we should stay away from the stream? I am suffering from stupidity.

[How can it be stupid to just wash your hands? Please don’t be so harsh.]

[That’s right, what can go wrong when washing your hands? Besides, the water in this stream only looks like 30 to 40 centimeters deep, even a child wouldn’t be able to drown.]

Shachuan was worried that Qi Gu would snatch the jade bracelet from him, so he anxiously searched the water for the jade bracelet, his heart beating like a drum.

Soon, he found the jade bracelet at the approximate location in his memory.

He quickly rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes and socks, and prepared to go into the water.

【? ? ? What is this doing?

[Play in the water?] 】

[I feel that this stream water looks very cool. If it were me, I would not be able to resist stepping on it. What's the big deal?]

[Ah, I'm so jealous. I also want to find a place to camp by a stream.]

While the audience in this shot was discussing camping, Shachuan suddenly bent down, grabbed something in the stream, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Just when netizens were confused, Shachuan, who was originally standing steadily, fell heavily into the stream in front of everyone.

[Damn, this is scary]

[How can you fall down like this? You are so careless.]

[Hahahaha, how miserable]

[Wait... Why has it been so long and Shachuan is still struggling? Can't he stand up? 】

The audience watched helplessly as Shachuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, dangling his limbs and splashing water as he struggled in the stream that was less than calf-deep. His head never emerged from the water, as if something invisible was holding his head down, preventing him from breathing.

Netizens had never seen such a weird scene before and were quite scared.

[What’s going on?! 】

[This is really... No wonder Qi Gu didn't let me get close to the stream just now]

[Isn’t this really an act?] 】

[Since you can act so realistically, I will nominate you to be this year's Oscar winner]

[It's been a minute. I feel that Shachuan's struggling has slowed down. Is he fast... What are the others doing? Why don't they come to rescue him! 】

[Shachuan didn’t tell the others when he came here. The others were a bit far from the stream, and he couldn’t shout out. The sound of the water from his struggle was completely integrated with the sound of the stream.]

[Help! This way of dying is so horrible!] 】

Shachuan didn't expect that the moment he grabbed the jade bracelet, the bracelet would actually turn into a bluish-white ghost hand wrapped with black lines, which tightly grabbed his neck and pushed him into the water.

And looking at that slender and thin hand, it actually made a big man of over 1.8 meters tall like him completely defenseless.

The feeling of suffocation quickly came over Shachuan, and he felt that the stream was depriving him of his breath. His life was passing away rapidly like the gurgling water.

Where is Qi Gu?

Didn’t he promise Director Song that there would be no problem going up the mountain?

Shachuan struggled desperately, and during the struggle, the sachet in his pocket fell out. For a moment, golden light became brighter, and the ghost hand didn't even have time to scream before it turned into black lines, which dissipated in the water and were diluted to the point where they could not be found anywhere.

The feeling of restraint on his neck disappeared, and Shachuan hurriedly stood up using his hands and feet. He did not notice what made the ghost hand disappear, nor did he notice that the sachet was gone. He just crawled to the shore in panic, breathing rapidly in his throat, greedily taking big gulps of the fresh air in the mountains and forests.

He... relied on his own strength to defeat the ghost hand and survived!

And at this moment, the live broadcast room.

[Ah, what was that golden light just now?]

[The screenshot was zoomed in and it turned out to be Qi Gu's sachet, which has now floated away with the water]

[Oh my god, this sachet is so effective, I must buy it]

[Qi Gu said that it can be used three times. If I buy it, doesn’t it mean that I have three more lives than others? 】

[If you say so, I'm really moved! 】

[It’s decided. I’ll go to Fu’ai Temple now and wait outside. As soon as it opens, I’ll be the first to rush in and buy something! 】

A staff member who was closer to the stream heard Shachuan's rapid breathing and was startled at first, thinking that some wild animal had appeared. When he saw Shachuan, who was soaking wet, he was even more puzzled, but he also rushed over to ask with concern: "Teacher Shachuan, what happened to you? How did you fall into the water?"

What he actually wanted to say was, didn’t Master Qi tell you not to get close to the water source? But if he was just a small staff member and said such things to an internet celebrity with millions of fans, he would be scolded to death.

His words attracted the attention of others, and for a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shachuan, wondering why he was soaked.

"There's something in the water..." Shachuan said with a grim expression.

He concealed the details of why he had waded into the water and only stated the final conclusion.

But netizens will not let this go.

[Why did Shachuan go into the water... and he acted so happy when he was caught by that thing in the water? 】

[Could it be that I was deceived by a trick?] 】

【Makes sense】

[It’s a pity that only the victim knows what he saw, otherwise we would know what Shachuan saw.]

[It can’t be gold, silver or jewelry, hahahahaha]

[It’s possible…]

[Uh, don’t think that everyone is as greedy as you guys, okay]

[If I remember correctly, Shachuan’s ex-girlfriend passed away last year. He loved his girlfriend very much…]

[Could it be that Shachuan saw his girlfriend, so he ignored Qi Gu's instructions...]

[Oh my god, tears in my eyes]
