Chapter 27 This guy is cheating
Jiang Ning had already forgotten everything Jiang Suqing said before. His brother was easily influenced and believed whatever his brother said. Jiang Ning was in the entertainment industry and had seen many people who were unable to speak out. He felt that Wen Shuang was most likely being framed.
Wen Shuang just showed concern for his assistant without any affectation. Jiang Ning could see it, so he was willing to go with Wen Shuang.
The two of them took turns every half an hour and rode for more than 20 kilometers. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Not to mention a greedy person like Wen Shuang, even Jiang Ning was so hungry that his stomach was growling.
Passing by a snack stand selling jelly, Jiang Ning called Wen Shuang to stop and asked the shopkeeper for two servings of jelly and two bottles of water. Wen Shuang felt embarrassed at first. After all, this was Jiang Ning's money. He planned to get through the day and see what would happen in the evening. At worst, he would be eliminated. Wen Shuang was even considering being eliminated. Chen Zong was difficult to get along with, and Wu Tan seemed to want to set a trap for him, not to mention other artists who felt they had stolen the limelight. The landmines were too dense and Wen Shuang really didn't want to step on them. He thought that if he was eliminated because of his lack of ability, Sister Zhu would at most feel sorry for him, but would not be angry. If that didn't work, he would return half of the money he should have received for participating in the program.
But Jiang Ning stuffed the things into Wen Shuang's arms without saying a word, "Take it! If you don't want it, throw it away."
How could she throw it away? Wen Shuang felt warm in her heart and thought Jiang Ning was such a good person. They drank half a bottle of water in one breath. After eating some jelly, Jiang Ning came back to life and asked the boss lady how much it cost.
The proprietress said in a simple manner, "One hundred and eighty."
Wen Shuang almost choked: "How much!"
"One hundred and eighty." The proprietress said happily and suddenly turned over the price list on the table. The logo of the program team was printed in the upper right corner, and the artists' prices were shown below: eighty yuan for a bowl of jelly and ten yuan for a bottle of water.
Wen Shuang suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He murmured: "Can I spit it out and return it to you?"
The proprietress shook her head and held out her hand with a smile: "One hundred and eighty."
The program team will set up obstacles on the road. Wen Shuang never expected that he and Jiang Ning would fall into a trap even though they had gone so far astray.
Wen Shuang guessed wrong about this. There was nothing on this road originally, but now that they are here, there should be something.
The photographer took a lot of photos of the two people's cute expressions. He finally waited for it! The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere along the way, talking, laughing and joking, just like they were on a trip. There was no quarrel or conflict at all. Now that Wen Shuang had eaten 90 yuan, would Jiang Ning be angry?
According to the rules, you have to pay for the food you eat. Jiang Ning quickly recovered and gave the proprietress two hundred yuan. He also took two bottles of water and generously gave one to Wen Shuang. "It's okay! I guess my amateur partner won't be able to spend all this money. The remaining three hundred yuan is enough for us to go to the island in the middle of the lake."
Wen Shuang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother Jiang, as long as I'm here today, I will definitely help you reach your destination!"
Jiang Ning was delighted: "Thank you, Brother Wen!"
Then they both laughed heartily at the same time.
Photographer: “…”
Wen Shuang was originally feeling somewhat negative, but that suddenly changed at this moment, because it didn't matter to him being eliminated, but it didn't matter to Jiang Ning.
Wen Shuang was right. The path he chose avoided many obstacles from the program crew. They couldn't imagine how the other groups were "slaughtered". Peng Shanshan and Wu Tan only had 100 yuan in funds, but the women were too delicate to bear the hardship and insisted on taking a taxi. As a result, they had wasted more than 50 yuan when they arrived at the first rest stop. Then they ate some bread and drank some water, and spent another 20 yuan. They had little left, but the road ahead was long, and they complied with the program crew's requirements very well. They had already blamed each other and started fighting.
Han Ling, who had thirty yuan in her hand, was more cautious. She gradually understood the routine of the program crew, avoided the road they directed and found a closer one. She always took the bus. Although it was slower, at least she didn't waste anything.
The third place is model Wang Yuze, who has 180 yuan on him. Luckily, he didn’t encounter any obstacles and still has nearly 100 yuan in his hand.
As for Chen Zong, he thought he had gotten rid of a big trouble after getting rid of Wen Shuang. His urgent desire to win made him rush all the way without considering whether the so-called route was correct or whether there were obstacles. He was quite happy to enjoy the food alone, but he was directly ripped off for two hundred yuan. He lost control of his emotions and turned into a roaring emperor, saying that he had encountered a black shop, which made the originally smiling boss look cold. After the show is broadcast, he will probably be rubbed by Jiang Ning's fans.
Here, they arrived at the last check-in point for scanning the bicycle code. They couldn't ride forward anymore. Wen Shuang locked the bike while looking at the map. The hood on his sweatshirt could be taken off. Seeing that Jiang Ning was so hot that he kept blocking the sun with his hands, Wen Shuang took off the hood and put it directly on Jiang Ning's face from behind. Don't say it, this action was quite handsome. The photographer gave a close-up.
"Aren't you hot?" Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little more comfortable. His face would peel off when exposed to the sun, which made post-recording very troublesome.
"It's not hot." Wen Shuang had beads of sweat on her forehead. She was lying with her eyes open. They were standing on the road, with lush forests on the left and a slowly flowing river on the right. The so-called island was just across the river. What should they do? Should they walk around it?
There is always a way out. Wen Shuang saw a fisherman rowing over and realized that his luck had been getting better and better recently.
The fishermen had no connection to the program crew and were a little scared at first when they saw the cameras. But Wen Shuang patiently explained with a smile, calling him "uncle" all the time, which made everyone happy. The stern-faced middle-aged man finally smiled and understood what Wen Shuang meant. He said, "I can take you across the river, but you have to wait for more than an hour. I have to collect the nets."
The trip around the river would take at least two hours, so even waiting until now would be very cost-effective. Wen Shuang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, uncle!"
Jiang Ning was stunned. Just as he was about to praise Wen Shuang, he was pushed to sit in the shade. The river water was slowly flowing, and the breeze was cool. Jiang Ning couldn't get up after sitting down. Wen Shuang didn't intend to let him move. "You take a rest, I'll help you."
"I'm going too!" Jiang Ning raised his butt.
Wen Shuang pressed his shoulders and said, "You can't do it, don't go up and make things worse."
In his previous life, Wen Shuang's grandfather made a living by the sea. Whenever Wen Shuang had a holiday, he would go there to play. He was quite good at collecting the nets. Seeing how quick and smooth his movements were, the uncle immediately had a better impression of this young man. The two stood side by side and would talk to each other from time to time.
"The water flow upstream has been too fast these days, and river crabs and other animals have all lay down. My grandson wants to eat river crabs, but he hasn't been able to catch a single one all day." The uncle complained.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Shuang lifted up the net, and two plump river crabs were hanging on it. He looked innocent and said, "Is this it?"
Uncle: “…”
Photographer: “…” Director, this guy is cheating.
Wen Shuang was just helping out, so the river crabs naturally belonged to the uncle. The uncle was even happier with the results, and he and Wen Shuang quickly finished the work, finishing it in just forty minutes. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, get on the boat!"
Jiang Ning was also quite dumbfounded by Wen Shuang's unusual performance. Even when he reached the other side and saw a corner of the island, he still felt a strong sense of unreality.
If you calculate it, they just spent the money for a meal.
Looking at it this way, the 200 yuan meal is really cheap, and the jelly is really delicious.
"I can't come. It will probably take another two hours. If we don't delay, it should be seven o'clock at the latest." Several directors who arrived early by car were drinking tea, fanning themselves with large palm-leaf fans and looking confident of victory. However, the assistant director had just taken a sip of tea when he looked up and saw two figures walking towards him, and he immediately burst into laughter.
The director was forced to wash his face, then stood up and yelled, "What are you doing?"
The assistant director pointed behind him as if he had seen a ghost: "Here, here!"
"Who's here?" The director was confused, and then his head turned away and never came back.
Jiang Ning and Wen Shuang greeted everyone warmly: "Hi~"
The director was so confused that he couldn't even speak. "No, wait, wait! How did you get through?"
"I came from across the river." Jiang Ning's tone was deep and mysterious. "Look, my name has the word 'Jiang' in it. Why? Because the river is my benefactor! When I encounter the river, I turn into a dragon! Soaring into the sky! Naturally, it's a piece of cake."
Wen Shuang suppressed a laugh and cooperated: "Yes, I got here by riding on the dragon's back."
Directors: “…”
The director had no choice but to ask the photographer nearby. The photographer practically rolled his eyes and told him the truth. After the incident, he was still muttering, "Really, it's unscientific. Wen Shuang was trying to figure out a way when the fishermen arrived. The fishermen wanted river crabs, and he came with his nets. He was so lucky."
Jiang Ning sat in the director's seat, drinking tea and chatting with the planner opposite him who was almost unable to laugh.
"No, there's one last obstacle!" The director stared at Wen Shuang and Jiang Ning's backs and said angrily.
The program crew stopped the boat heading to the small island in the middle of the lake, gave them a life jacket, and asked them to grab the float and float over by themselves.
The smile on Jiang Ning's face suddenly stopped.
Wen Shuang noticed it immediately and leaned over to ask quietly: "You can't swim?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ning said with difficulty: "I'm still a little afraid of water."
"It's okay." Wen Shuang patted his head: "I'm a good swimmer."
If someone else had said this to Jiang Ning, he would still feel uncomfortable, but Wen Shuang was different. Jiang Ning had long discovered that although this person was gentle and easy to talk to, he was very tough at heart. He never did anything without confidence, and he would do everything he could to fulfill his promises. Although he was someone who could be knocked down with a punch, he felt particularly safe.
With Wen Shuang as a guarantee, Jiang Ning did not delay. He put on a life jacket and gently lay on Wen Shuang. With the help of the buoyancy of the life jacket, the two of them moved towards the island little by little.
"I was scared at first, but then I caught a fish from the water, and I wasn't afraid anymore." Wen Shuang heard Jiang Ning's slightly rapid breathing and started talking to distract him.
Jiang Ning asked: "What kind of fish?"
"A big carp," Wen Shuang replied. "I was so happy. I was planning to take it home and raise it, but it turned upside down halfway through. Grandpa said I cried so hard."
"Where's the fish?" Jiang Ning asked. "Have you eaten it?"
"Buried it." Wen Shuang's tone was melancholy, with a sense of helplessness in digging up her own dark past: "Give it a funeral of roses."
Jiang Ning imagined the scene: "Hahaha!"
The two of them were talking and laughing in the water, while everyone on the shore looked old.
