Chapter 131: Priceless Prey (Three Updates in One)
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou came out of the tent, and Nong Chun was making a fire to cook breakfast.
Seeing Jiang Ning coming out, Nong Chun immediately said to her: "They bought the mountain rat and the rabbit together... and sold them for 40 million."
What Nong Chun didn't say was that when he brought the rabbit and the mountain mouse over and asked the other guests if they wanted to buy them, Ling Bo and Mu Mingxuan thought they were hallucinating, looked at Nong Chun in disbelief, and then said they wanted to buy them.
But after hearing the price Nong Chun mentioned, they became unhappy again and started saying that this was a robbery and asked Nong Chun to give them a lower price.
The prey was caught by Jiang Ning and the price was set by Jiang Ning. Nong Chun had no say in the matter and kept shaking his head.
Jian Tiantian was the first to say that she bought it, and then the other guests immediately said they wanted to buy it as well.
Tens of millions is tens of millions, can they really starve to death here for that little money? !
However, there were only two preys, but seven guests wanted to buy them. Originally, Nong Chun wanted to sell them to Jian Tiantian, the first person who said he wanted to buy, and Ling Bo, the second person who said he wanted to buy, but Mu Mingxuan came over and used his power to pressure them, and finally several guests agreed to buy them together and share the price equally.
As soon as Nong Chun saw Mu Mingxuan coming over, he immediately doubled the price. Finally, in front of Mu Mingxuan's gloomy look, he said that this was another price for him.
Finally, Mu Mingxuan agreed in a deep voice.
The thirty million will be shared equally by the seven guests, and Mu Mingxuan will add an additional ten million.
Hearing Nong Chun's words, Jiang Ning didn't react much and just nodded lightly.
[Oh my! In just a short while, Jiang Ning has raised 40 million in donations. It's so nice to fleece the rich!] [Hahahaha, yes, Mu Mingxuan's expression just now was really funny. He obviously looked down on Jiang Ning, but he had to lower his head and buy her things at a high price] [Jiang Ning: I just like the way you don't like me, and not only can you not get rid of me, but you have to fleece me. Hahahaha, it's inexplicably relieved] [If Jiang Ning and Huo Miao's identities hadn't been swapped, Mu Mingxuan... should be Jiang Ning's fiancé? Does he know that Jiang Ning and Huo Miao's identities had been swapped?] [Oh, forget it, Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng are the same, they are both obsessed with Huo Miao like they were poisoned, don't pick up fiancés in the trash] [40 million... just bought a rabbit and a mountain rat, Jiang Ning didn't even ask them to write an IOU, will these people really donate money when the time comes?] [They have to donate even if they don't want to! There's no IOU, but we are here! Our eyes are sharp!] After selling the rabbit and mountain rat, there was still a chicken left. Nong Chun followed Jiang Ning’s previous method and removed the hair and skin from the chicken. Then he chopped it into small pieces and added other seasonings to make soup.
While he was making breakfast, the other guests were finally not idle either. They built two temporary fires with stones and killed rabbits and rats... Jian Tiantian was afraid that there would not be enough food for seven people, so she went to the nearby area to pick up a lot of wild vegetables, intending to cook them as side dishes.
After a while, the air was filled with the aroma of meat. All the guests had a hearty meal. Everyone who had been weak and exhausted instantly recovered, as if they had finally come back to life. Even Huo Ziheng, who was seriously injured, did not look as weak as before.
After breakfast, the sun came out and everyone packed up and continued on their journey.
Yesterday, Qi Xingzhou carried Jiang Ning's backpack for the whole day without complaining of being tired. Jiang Ning originally wanted to exchange it with him today, but Qi Xingzhou stretched out his arms and carried Jiang Ning's heavy backpack on his back again.
Huo Miao, who had no choice but to carry the mountaineering bag, looked up and saw Qi Xingzhou taking Jiang Ning's mountaineering bag on his shoulders. Qi Xingzhou was about 1.8 meters tall, taller than all the boys present, and he was also good-looking. Although he was taciturn, he had a noble and outstanding temperament. Jiang Ning's heavy women's mountaineering bag was carried on his broad back, and he looked particularly relaxed and natural.
Qi Xingzhou's simple action made Huo Miao's eyes red.
Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan had always helped Huo Miao carry her own luggage, but Huo Ziheng's back was badly injured by a monkey yesterday, so of course he couldn't carry any other heavy objects. Mu Mingxuan helped him share Huo Ziheng's things, so Huo Miao had to carry her own things by herself.
Huo Miao followed the team with a frown on her face, and was obviously not very happy.
[This collapsed sister is now increasingly not hiding her emotions, with no expression management at all, for fear that everyone can't see her unhappiness] [It's so funny, everyone walked all day yesterday, and it was Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng who took turns to help her carry things. Huo Ziheng was afraid that she would slip and fall, so he deliberately walked behind Huo Miao, and reached out to help her from time to time. Look at Huo Miao, she just focused on her own walk, and didn't even glance at Huo Ziheng behind her.] [I just want to ask, Huo Ziheng ignored his own sister, but was so open-hearted to Huo Miao, what's the purpose?] [No wonder Jiang Ning couldn't help kicking him into the pool before, I would kick him too if it was my turn, Huo Ziheng should wash his eyes and brain!] ...
The comments on the screen basically expressed dislike for Huo Miao.
Ever since Huo Miao and Jiang Ning's identities were exposed and confirmed by many parties, there have been more and more comments complaining about Huo Miao.
Huo's mother, who was sitting on the sofa, had a heart attack after watching the video, so she simply turned off all the comments.
Ever since the identities of Huo Miao and Jiang Ning were exposed, the Huo family's stocks and businesses have plummeted. Huo Song and Huo Li, father and son, have been very busy during this period. Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian have been in a bad mood all day long because they were ridiculed at school.
The Huo family had hired some internet trolls before, but as soon as those internet trolls started praising Huo Miao, they immediately aroused the audience's vigilance and disgust, and they sprayed the internet trolls into pieces.
The darker Huo Miao's reputation, the higher the price of hiring water army.
Seeing that hiring a navy was of no use, the Huo family canceled the order after comprehensive consideration.
There was no internet trolls to speak for Huo Miao, and Huo Miao's own fans all ran away, or were criticized by other viewers and hid in the dark, not daring to say a word. As a result, now no one is speaking for Huo Miao, and the audience is left to complain.
All the guests walked all day yesterday and inevitably felt sore in their backs and waists. Today's pace and speed were obviously much slower than yesterday.
Jiang Ning walked briskly in the front, stopping and starting, waiting for other guests behind him from time to time.
Even so, the non-stop pace made the guests exhausted.
Huo Miao, carrying her luggage, could not help but complain to Mu Mingxuan in a low voice: "Brother Mingxuan, how far are we from the safe house? Is it really that far? Could it be that Jiang Ning deliberately took us the wrong route?"
[Here it comes again, the familiar smell of tea] [Why didn't I see that Sister Tafang's character was like this before? Come to think of it, I was actually a fan of her before, ugh~] [I always ask, when will the program team let her go offline! ] [She does nothing all day long, and just knows how to sow discord all day long] [Since you are so capable, why don't you lead the team yourself? Jiang Ning didn't ask them to follow her! ] Ever since Jiang Ning and the others entered the forest yesterday, a small map appeared in the upper left corner of the live broadcast room, just like the game map that appears when playing games, allowing the audience to see at a glance the route that Jiang Ning and the others took, as well as the location of the safe house.
The route that Jiang Ning took everyone to take was the one that took the shortest time and was closest to the safe house.
Mu Mingxuan frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be possible..."
Jiang Ning also wanted to go to the safe house, so there was no need for her to deliberately take everyone on a detour.
"Look at the map." Huo Miao whispered, "Does it say on the map that it's that far? I don't want to walk at all."
Under the speechless gaze of the audience, Mu Mingxuan actually took out the map and looked at it, and then the even more embarrassing thing was... he couldn't understand it.
No matter how detailed the map provided by the program team is, it is just a map after all, and it is completely different from actually measuring the land with your feet.
Standing in this dense forest, Mu Mingxuan couldn't even tell the directions.
He looked extremely embarrassed and put the map away. "Just follow them. There will be more people to look after us."
[Pfft, dying of laughter, he didn't understand] [Hahahaha, since you can't read it, then just shut up and stop making trouble] [Help, I put myself in her shoes and found that I couldn't understand it either] [Who doesn't... But it doesn't matter, as long as Jiang Ning can understand it] [Indeed, Jiang Ning held a map in one hand and a compass in the other, which gave people a realistic feeling] [By the way, did those media who wanted to dig up Jiang Ning's past actually dig it out? What was Jiang Ning's life like before? How come she knows everything? She doesn't seem like a child raised in a poor family] She doesn't seem like a child raised in a poor family at all] Mu Mingxuan couldn't understand the map, and after realizing that the only way for everyone to get to the safe house was to follow Jiang Ning, Huo Miao became a lot more honest.
Everyone walked and stopped along the way. At noon, Jiang Ning chose a relatively flat open space to rest.
Of course, the main reason why Jiang Ning chose to rest here was because Qi Xingzhou quietly told her that there was a rabbit hutch nearby.
After knowing Qi Xingzhou's unique ability this morning, Jiang Ning did not allow him to abuse it, lest it be discovered by others. Wild prey are very wary of humans. Without Qi Xingzhou's ability, no one saw any prey this morning. Basically, before they could find the prey, the prey had already left.
When Jiang Ning heard Qi Xingzhou say there was a rabbit hole nearby, she threw her luggage on the ground, called Nong Chun, and the three of them went to catch rabbits with great interest.
Rabbits are small animals that may look cute, but they are actually very cunning, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
The three of them found the nearby rabbit holes, marked them one by one, and then used local materials to prepare a lot of pine needles and dry straw. Nong Chun and Qi Xingzhou quickly used lighters to ignite the pine needle and straw balls prepared in advance and quickly stuffed them into the marked rabbit holes.
Jiang Ning was squatting outside the exit of the largest cave, ready to go.
The audience in front of the screen saw this scene. Although they knew that all this was fake, they still couldn't help but feel nervous and expectant: [Catching rabbits! I miss it so much! In the past, my father and uncle would go to the mountains to set traps every autumn and winter to catch wild rabbits on the mountain] [Jiang Ning's smoking method of catching rabbits is so old-fashioned. Hahahaha, I instantly dreamed back to my childhood] [Rabbit meat is really delicious. I like spicy rabbit meat and cold rabbit the most. I never get tired of eating them] [Yes, yes! Thinking about the taste, I feel like my saliva is about to flow out...] [Hmm... I quietly opened the food delivery app...] [You bunch of beasts! Rabbits are so cute... Let me have a bite too! ] Nong Chun and Qi Xingzhou successively filled the marked rabbit holes with burning pine needles and thatch. This dry thatch is easy to ignite, and the pine needles are easy to produce a lot of pungent smoke. Rabbits are sensitive and clean animals. When they anticipate danger, they will definitely run towards the hole without smoke.
Nong Chun stared at it eagerly for a long while, then he rubbed his hands nervously: "Why is there not a single rabbit? Are these holes empty?"
He looked back at the small caves that were already emitting white smoke and asked doubtfully, "Did we not fill them up enough just now?"
"No rush." Jiang Ning looked calm and not panicked.
Rabbit holes are narrow and long. The oxygen in the holes is not as good as outside, and the air flow is relatively slow. It is possible that the thick smoke has not yet spread to the depths of the cave.
Jiang Ning was extremely patient in waiting for the appearance of prey.
...Here it comes! A white shadow came out of the cave as fast as lightning. Not only did the audience in front of the screen fail to see it clearly, but even Nong Chun, who was standing next to it, didn't react in time. Jiang Ning suddenly raised his hand and pounced, grabbing the rabbit firmly in his hand.
Qi Xingzhou handed over the bag that had been prepared long ago, and Jiang Ning threw the rabbit in his hand into it.
[Fuck! Jiang Ning is so fast!] [He caught it right away?] [Ah? It's over? I haven't seen anything yet!] [Don't worry, my friend, this is just the beginning. There is only one rabbit in the rabbit den.] As expected, after the first rabbit rushed out of the cave, the other rabbits sensed the danger and ran out of the cave one after another, like a string of candied haws. But without exception, no matter how fast they were or how densely they appeared, they all fell into Jiang Ning's clutches.
[With Jiang Ning's acumen and success rate, it would be a shame if he didn't do sports. The national sports team lost a gold medalist] [Indeed, my father, grandfather and I have tried catching rabbits before. We are very agile. Even an old hunter like my grandfather can fail sometimes. Jiang Ning's success rate is 100%] After the end, Nong Chun looked at the results in the bag and cried with joy: "Nine rabbits!"
Jiang Ning nodded: "We can get to the safe house this afternoon. There is no use keeping these rabbits. Except for the two we eat, we will sell the others for 20 million each and donate them to poor mountainous areas. If Mu Mingxuan and the others want to buy them, the price will be doubled."
The rabbits were sold at a low price yesterday, so let’s increase their price today.
"Okay!" Nong Chun was already full of admiration for Jiang Ning. Upon hearing this, he nodded without asking any more questions.
There are nine rabbits. After leaving two, there are seven left.
Nong Chun brought seven rabbits to Ling Bo and the others. As expected, with the mountain rats and rabbits from the morning, everyone was willing to accept the price of 20 million. Only Mu Mingxuan and the other two looked angry and said in dissatisfaction: "Why do we have to pay 40 million!"
Ling Bo, Jian Tiantian, Yuan Wei and Lin Qi all bought a rabbit, and they seemed to have discussed it in advance, saying that since there were enough rabbits this time, they didn't need to cook them together, and each of them could eat their own. So, if Mu Mingxuan and the other two didn't buy one, they would have nothing to eat.
But one rabbit costs 40 million, three rabbits... 120 million! If you add the meal this morning, just two meals cost nearly 140 million! Even if Mu Mingxuan is the heir of the Mu Group, he doesn't have so much liquid funds. If three people get together, they can get so much, but spending 140 million to eat a few rabbits? Obviously not worth it.
Mu Mingxuan has never encountered such a robbery in his life!
Jiang Ning is treating them like pigs. Even a rabbit carved out of gold is not that expensive! Mu Mingxuan looked at Jiang Ning who was gradually approaching, suppressed his resentment, and said, "Jiang Ning, isn't the price of your rabbit too high? Why do we have to spend 40 million for something that other guests can buy for 20 million?"
"The price is clearly marked. Take it or leave it." Jiang Ning glanced at Mu Mingxuan with a half-smile: "As the eldest young master of the Mu family, don't you have this little money?"
Mu Mingxuan felt like he was going to die of anger. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Of course I have them, but why should I spend so much money to buy these worthless things of yours!"
"It's up to you." Jiang Ning waved her hand and said to Nong Chun, "Send the rabbits that can't be sold back home."
What I mean is, I would rather throw it away than give it to you!
Looking at Jiang Ning's indifferent back, Mu Mingxuan couldn't understand and turned back to ask Huo Ziheng: "Why did she become like this?"
"I don't know." Huo Ziheng shook his head tiredly: "It became like this after I was discharged from the hospital."
"Are you still going to buy it? If not, I'll put it back." Nong Chun reminded him that he still had to prepare lunch!
Mu Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's have one."
They couldn't catch any other prey, and if they didn't eat, they wouldn't have the strength to continue their journey this afternoon. If something else happened, they might die in the forest.
"We want all three!" Huo Miao next to them suddenly spoke up.
Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng only planned to buy one or two. Although they were rich young masters, they did not have much liquid funds.
When they suddenly heard Huo Miao's voice, they were both stunned and winked at Huo Miao.
Huo Miao seemed not to see it and reached out to take the bag from Nong Chun.
Nong Chun reminded: "You have to return this bag to me later."
This is the bag he uses to pack his tent.
Huo Miao nodded perfunctorily. It was just a bag and she didn't even care about it.
After Nong Chun left, Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng looked at Huo Miao with some disapproval: "Miao Miao, buy three, that's too many."
Huo Ziheng nodded: "Forty million for one, three for 120 million..."
The assets under his and Huo Miao's names combined are not as much.
"It's better to return one or two."
"What's the big deal? I didn't write an IOU, and I don't have to give it to Jiang Ning right away." Huo Miao smiled mysteriously at the two of them, lowered her voice, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Jiang Ning just wants us to show her the donation screenshot. I have a way. Don't worry. You don't have to pay for it."
[What is Huo Miao talking about?] [Wow, it turns out that you can whisper like this, and we can't actually hear it... outrageous] [But Jiang Ning is really good at ripping customers off, selling 200 million in one day... It's just a mountain rat and eight rabbits, the price is inflated, this must be illegal, right?] I saw a donation news on Douyin, it feels really explosive, so I wrote it down, you can look forward to the follow-up. Everyone must pay attention, Xiao Xiong's chapters have a lot of words! Don't think Xiao Xiong is being lazy! Starting tomorrow, let's see if I can write one chapter during the day and one chapter at night, all according to the standard of 4,000 words.
