Chapter 139 Jiang Ning is the Judge of the Deserted Island (Two Updates in One)
Jiang Ning walked around the attic this morning, figured out the surrounding environment, and knew the direction of the sea.
Whether it is a raft or a wooden boat, a lot of wood is needed. Although these woods can be obtained from the nearby forests, how to move them is a problem.
Since there are forests by the sea, why go far away?
Jiang Ning took Qi Xingzhou and walked straight towards the sea.
Qi Xingzhou was holding a chainsaw and happily following Jiang Ning. He looked very excited and didn't care about their destination at all. It seemed that as long as he followed Jiang Ning, it didn't matter where they went.
The two of them came through the forest and arrived at this strange sea.
Compared to the beach where the program team dropped them off before, the sea in front of them was obviously larger, wider, and more vast, and the resources seemed to be much more abundant.
The raw materials for making rafts and wooden boats are also very particular. Not all trees can be used. You have to choose high-quality trees with relatively high hardness. It is best if they are also waterproof and insect-proof so that they can withstand the immersion and erosion of sea water.
Jiang Ning walked in the forest, looking up at the towering ancient trees, and walked past them with dissatisfaction.
While Jiang Ning was selecting wood, two rabbits hopped out from the bushes.
Seeing these two rabbits, the screen instantly became lively:
[Wow wow wow! Buffet food delivered to your door!] [Hahahaha, stir-fried rabbit meat!] [Here it comes, look at Jiang Ning grabbing!] The two rabbits jumped up and down, and even though they saw two people over there, they didn't stop.
The audience all exclaimed at how bold the two rabbits were, but Jiang Ning not only ignored them, but the two rabbits also took the initiative to come in front of Qi Xingzhou, rubbing their furry little heads against Qi Xingzhou's trouser legs, behaving intimately, as if domestic rabbits were attached to their owners.
[…What the hell?] [Here it comes again, this weird thing happened again] [Are these two rabbits his own? So close?] [This is a program…it’s fake…it must be a bug in the program] [I’m crying, fake rabbits are so cute, I’ve raised my rabbit for two years but it’s still not tamed, it bares its teeth when I get close to it] The two plump rabbits looked white, fat and soft, and they melted the hearts of many viewers in front of the screen, but Qi Xingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, gently raised his foot, and swept the two obstacles aside, making the audience in front of the screen exclaim that it was cruel!
After being swept away by Qi Xingzhou, the two rabbits were not discouraged and continued to jump happily around Qi Xingzhou.
Jiang Ning looked at the two friendly rabbits and saw something: "Are these the two rabbits?"
"Yeah." Qi Xingzhou nodded slightly.
He left the safe house to look for Jiang Ning. In addition to the little snake following him, there were also these two rabbits hopping in front of him to lead the way.
However, after bringing him there, the two rabbits returned the same way they came.
Now that they found that he was back in the safe house, the two rabbits jumped out to welcome him.
"Very cute." Jiang Ning praised.
The conversation between the two left the audience in front of the screen confused and full of questions.
[Good fellow, even though we were watching the live broadcast room every day, these two actually had their own little secrets behind our backs! Humph!] Jiang Ning searched in the forest for a long time and finally found the wood that she liked: fir, pine and camphor.
These three types of trees are all high-quality woods with high density, great hardness and strong water-resistance, and are most suitable for navigation.
Jiang Ning did what he said, took the electric saw from Qi Xingzhou and started cutting wood.
The electric saw roared, and the audience in front of the screen were dumbfounded as they watched her bend over and saw the tree: [The tree Jiang Ning is sawing is a fir tree] [In the past, fishing boats were basically made of fir trees. They went all the way to the seaside to cut wood...] [No, is she serious?] [Too funny, right? Can she build a boat?] [Building a boat is not that simple. Don't waste your time] [No, no, no, I'm the opposite of you. Although I don't know if Jiang Ning really wants to build a boat, as long as she wants to do something, she will definitely succeed! I believe in her!] [Nonsense] While everyone was talking, Jiang Ning had already finished sawing the tree in her hand.
The electric saw makes a buzzing sound and seems easy to operate, but in fact, when the electric saw is working, it constantly scrapes against the tree, causing its surface to vibrate. The person using it needs to hold it firmly to prevent the blade from tilting or flying out of the hand, and there is no room for distraction.
Jiang Ning turned off the chainsaw and was about to take a break when Qi Xingzhou, who had been standing by and watching carefully, came forward and took the chainsaw from Jiang Ning. He said seriously, "I'll help Ning Ning."
Jiang Ning looked at him and asked, "Can you use it?"
It's no wonder Jiang Ning was suspicious. Qi Xingzhou's identity didn't seem like someone who could use a chainsaw.
Qi Xingzhou nodded without hesitation.
He glanced at the fir tree that Jiang Ning had just sawed off, walked to another fir tree nearby, and then looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Yeah, that's right. Be careful not to hurt your hands."
Jiang Ning's concern made Qi Xingzhou's eyes light up, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Qi Xingzhou worked hard, and sawed down a fir tree at about the same speed as Jiang Ning. When he wanted to saw a second tree, Jiang Ning hurried forward, took the chainsaw from his hand, and drove him aside to rest, and took over herself.
The two of them took turns, each sawing one tree.
[Oh my god! There’s a quarrel in the next room! Why are these two still sawing wood here!] [Huh? What’s going on?] [Go to the next room to watch the drama! Yuan Wei and Mu Mingxuan have reached a new level of shamelessness!] [Oh my god! I knew they were restless!] …
The sun was shining brightly, and the light falling on her body was scorching. Jiang Ning looked at the pile of fallen fir trees in front of her and felt that the progress was faster than she had imagined.
"Come on, let's go back first. It's almost time for lunch." Jiang Ning said to Qi Xingzhou.
Go back for lunch, then have a good sleep and come back when the sun isn't so hot.
If she came in the afternoon, she would have to bring an axe and remove all the extra branches.
[Finally finished sawing...] [Jiang Ning is really a good worker, it seems like she can do everything, and she works quickly and can endure hardships] [Indeed, this electric saw looks simple to use, but it is actually very laborious and requires a lot of effort on the hands and arms. I used it before when I went to the mountains with my dad to chop wood. I didn't saw a tree down, and my hand was broken...] [Hurry up, I can't wait to see the famous face-slapping scene when Jiang Ning returns!] [Hahahahahaha, yes, beat up Mu Mingxuan and the others quickly! The judge of this deserted island still depends on Jiang Ning!] [Well, although Jiang Ning is strong and skilled, Mu Mingxuan and the others are all adult men. Jiang Ning is facing many people alone... It should be a bit difficult, right?] [Tsk, →_→ What kind of men are they, weak chickens who can't even catch a rabbit?] [That's right, what kind of men are they!] ...
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage. Jiang Ning had no idea what she would face when she returned. She walked back slowly with Qi Xingzhou.
When passing through a mound of earth, Jiang Ning exclaimed, she lowered her head to look at the plants beside her, and picked up one of the vines with her fingers. If she was not mistaken, this was actually a piece of wild yam?
Well, when she goes back, she will look for farm tools in the small attic that are easy to dig. It would be nice to dig up this piece of wild yam and bring it back as a staple food.
The two walked out of the forest. Without the cover of the towering trees, their figures gradually appeared in the sunlight.
Jian Tiantian was sitting outside the attic, hugging her knees and crying. When she saw Jiang Ning, her face lit up with joy, as if she had seen a savior, and she quickly stood up and ran towards Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, you're finally back!"
Jian Tiantian ran to Jiang Ning so quickly that she completely ignored Qi Xingzhou who was standing next to her.
Noticing her red eyes, Jiang Ning said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"You don't know, Mu Mingxuan and the others have gone too far!" Jian Tiantian clenched her fists and said angrily, "They hid all the food in the attic!"
Jiang Ning had a blank expression on his face: "...Tell me more."
Jian Tiantian stood in front of Jiang Ning and told her everything.
This matter is simple to explain. The story goes back to two hours ago. At that time, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were sawing trees seriously in the forest, and only a few other guests were left in the small attic.
After Wang Ye had breakfast, perhaps because he was overwhelmed by the sudden truth, he stayed in his room and did not come out.
After washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun had nothing to do, so they went back to their rooms to rest and get some sleep.
Huo Miao didn't really faint at all. She "wore up peacefully" not long after being carried back to her room by Mu Mingxuan.
Ling Bo walked around outside the attic and was about to go back to his room to rest. However, as soon as he entered the attic, he saw Yuan Wei and Lin Qi sneaking around in the kitchen.
Seeing the noodles and eggs in Yuan Wei and Lin Qi's hands, Ling Bo quickly knew what they were going to do.
Yuan Wei and Lin Qi had originally only intended to secretly hide some food, because they had just taken the opportunity to check all the places in the kitchen where things could be stored, and found that there was not much food left in the kitchen. If this continued, all the food would be eaten up in less than a week.
After Ling Bo discovered their intentions, he wanted to stop them, but was soon persuaded by Yuan Wei, who said, "Ling Bo, it's no good for you to expose us. You might as well hide some of it yourself, and we can pretend we didn't see it."
The feeling of being hungry a few days ago was still fresh in their minds. They never wanted to experience this feeling of hunger again! So Ling Bo joined the two people in hiding food.
Later, Mu Mingxuan came out of Huo Miao's room and went downstairs to drink water, where he ran into three people who were stealing things... Four like-minded people got together, and Yuan Wei took out the words he had just used to convince Ling Bo to convince Mu Mingxuan, but he had to tell the truth, Mu Mingxuan was indeed a businessman, with the greed and black heart of a capitalist.
After Mu Mingxuan took a glance at the few foods in the kitchen, he directly proposed that the four of them work together to take all the food for themselves.
Mu Mingxuan said cruelly: "Since we have already taken it, why not take it all? If we take more, we can live one more day."
Ling Bo was a little hesitant: "If we take all of them...what will they eat..."
"This place is close to the mountains and the water, they have plenty of food." Mu Mingxuan glanced at him and said with a little warning: "Or do you not want to cooperate with me?"
Ling Bo remained silent.
Yuan Wei was somewhat tempted.
Mu Mingxuan nodded and said, "Let's cooperate again. The unpleasant things that happened in the forest before will be forgiven. We will guard these foods. Even if the production team doesn't come to rescue us, I am the eldest son of the Mu family. When the Mu family finds out something is wrong, they will definitely send someone to find me. When the rescue comes, I am willing to take you away for free."
Except for Huo Ziheng who has died, there are a total of ten surviving guests.
The four of them are already the backbone of the group. As long as they work together, they are indestructible.
Director Wang is old, Jian Tiantian is a weak girl, Nong Chun is the youngest of all the guests at only 19 years old, a fragile college student is nothing to be afraid of, the only troublesome ones are Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.
Recalling the scene of being pressed to the ground by Jiang Ning, Mu Mingxuan frowned and said, "When Jiang Ning comes back later, we will go together."
Yuan Wei and the other two looked at each other and nodded.
After reaching a preliminary consensus, the four rotten fish and stinky shrimps not only moved all the things in the kitchen away, but also divided up the few remaining fruits and snacks in the living room.
When Jian Tiantian woke up and went downstairs to cook lunch for everyone, she found that all the rice and flour in the kitchen had disappeared!
It was not until she heard Huo Miao's ridicule and expulsion that she realized that the things had been hidden by Mu Mingxuan and others.
Jian Tiantian was furious and had an argument with Huo Miao. The other guests came out after hearing the noise. Yuan Wei and the other three stood together and admitted that they had moved out the food. Director Wang was so angry that he argued with them, but Mu Mingxuan and the others already knew that Director Wang could not contact the program crew, so they didn't take Director Wang seriously at all, let alone Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun.
[Mu Mingxuan and the others are so disgusting!] [I am so blind. I thought Ling Bo was a good guy before, but I didn’t expect... he still couldn’t resist the temptation!] [And Yuan Wei and Lin Qi! I have always liked them very much. One is a sunny and cheerful big boy, and the other is a shy and socially anxious little prince. In the end, they were the ones who stole the food in the beginning. Ugh, disgusting!] [Quick, quick, quick! Catch them all! Kick them all into the river!] [That’s right! In this situation, food is everyone’s life. Since they won’t let you live, then die together and no one will live! Ababa Ababa Ababa...] The barrage was full of curses, and the curses were very dirty. Everyone was waiting for Jiang Ning to take action and fire the first punch of justice on the deserted island.
In fact, they were not sure if Jiang Ning could fight four people alone, but there was Qi Xingzhou next to him whose height alone was intimidating, so he should be able to... do it? Anyway, they couldn't let the little people's ambitions destroy Jiang Ning's prestige! After hearing Jian Tiantian's crying, Jiang Ning's eyes were heavy: "Let's go back and take a look."
