Chapter 47 Cupping
The main task this time is to collect props. The program team did not say that they would only give a little starting capital or that they must complete some extremely small steps. As long as they reach the finish line before 8:30 in the evening, they can settle the props they have obtained. If they exceed the time limit, they will be eliminated.
Because we were on the same route, we all walked together, and there were cameras everywhere.
Jiang Ning looked through the route map and suddenly pointed to a place and said to Wen Shuang, "I know this place, the bandits are high up there." His calves started to ache just thinking about it, as he had just torn a ligament while dancing two weeks ago.
Wen Shuang heard his sad tone and whispered, "If not, just wait for me at the foot of the mountain. We're a team anyway, and whatever I collect is what you collect."
The photographer who was filming them was so close that their conversation was successfully transmitted to the audience through the headset with good reception. You can imagine how crazy the barrage of comments was.
【Wen Shuang is so thoughtful!!!】
[The sister mentioned above was wrong. Wen Shuang is only considerate to Jiang Ning.]
【Shuang Ning is real!!!】
Cao Nanyu saw President Xuan change his posture, and his eyes gradually became colder.
Assistant Cao complained in his heart, thinking, Shuang'er, who do you think is the one who rushes to the front lines to withstand the fire every time you make President Xuan angry?
However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone fell silent, not just Jiang Ning.
The mountain is steep, with only one winding path leading up. The bluestone slabs on it are only half paved and cut off halfway up the mountain. The rest of the way depends on whether there are nails under your feet. The temple is hidden among the green mountains, with only a corner of the earth-red eaves exposed, appearing quiet and sacred.
Peng Shanshan gritted her teeth and said, "Go!"
Lin Nuan looked embarrassed and reluctant, but her reputation has always been bad. Her agent wanted to give her a lecture before coming. If she continued to be willful, she might not be able to come to the next show.
Jiang Ning's face turned pale when they were two-thirds of the way along the bluestone road. Wen Shuang was sharp-minded and supported him, saying firmly, "Wait for me on the roadside after we finish this section. Don't get on."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "No, it's nothing serious."
Wen Shuangwei frowned and said nothing, his meaning was very clear. When this man was stubborn, no one could do anything to him. As soon as the bluestone slab came to an end, he pressed Jiang Ning against a large rock on the side of the road. The surface of the rock was flat and backed by a big tree, making it a good place to rest. Jiang Ning's right knee did hurt recently, but thinking of the future work and recording, he did not refuse.
In fact, when searching for props, the more people there are, the better. Jiang Ning really didn't feel at ease if his partner changed to someone else, but Wen Shuang was different. Koi was invincible!!!
Jiang Ning was not around, so Lin Nuan moved to Wen Shuang's place. Judging from their appearance, the two of them could be described as a perfect match, but the comments were all about "God of Plague, stay away from my Shuang!" Although Lin Nuan had faced online blacklisting, she also gained a group of die-hard fans. It was no exaggeration to say that they were fighting ten people at once. However, in the first few months after Lin Nuan's comeback, anyone who worked with her was unlucky, so she was labeled "God of Plague" by black fans, which was not a good name. At this moment, Lin Nuan's fans emerged in the comment section and started to fight with a group of people.
"I didn't realize you were in such good physical condition." Wen Shuang was slightly out of breath.
Lin Nuan nodded. "I've been tall since I was a child. There was never a sports meet I didn't participate in. I was always number one in the city in pole vaulting during college!" Her expression brightened as she spoke of her student days, and the commentary fell into an eerie silence because of Lin Nuan's words.
"Lin Nuan was once a top student at S University in the capital, and ranked first in her class upon entering the school." Cao Nanyu explained to Xuanzhe.
Xuanzhe frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.
The moment they finally saw the temple, Peng Shanshan and her amateur partner screamed. The mountain road was really difficult to walk on. It was almost noon, and they hadn't even entered the first attraction.
Today is not the weekend, so there are not many visitors. The steps are old and the eaves are black. I wonder how many years this temple has stood here.
Chen Zong and the others were anxiously looking for props, and Lin Nuan followed her amateur partner to the back. Wen Shuang, on the other hand, strolled leisurely in the front yard. It was too quiet here, with a sense of otherworldly place everywhere. Influenced by her grandfather, Wen Shuang respected this very much.
A monk in his sixties walked slowly forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to Wen Shuang, who immediately returned the gesture.
The other party thought Wen Shuang didn't understand the process of burning incense, so he accompanied him to the main hall and patiently explained along the way. The old monk spoke warmly, with an indescribable rhythm. Wen Shuang listened carefully and burned incense very piously. The old monk looked at him and smiled and nodded. After Wen Shuang stood up, he handed him a peace amulet with a red seal on yellow paper, folded it into a triangle, and finally tied it with a red string, saying that it would ensure safety when he was away for a long time.
The thing was very light, but Wen Shuang took it with both hands, thinking of taking it back to Xuan Zhe.
"I give this to you too." The old monk drew a very good lot from the lot box, which was obviously different from the other lots. Instead of shaking the lot to solve the puzzle, he gave it to Wen Shuang directly. Wen Shuang didn't understand and subconsciously wanted to refuse. Unexpectedly, the old monk stuffed the lot into his arms without saying anything, turned around and walked out of the hall. His feet were so fast that only the corner of his clothes flashed by the door.
The next second, the system sounded: [Notice, guest Wen Shuang has obtained an orange item.]
Wen Shuang: “…”
Director team: “…”
Barrage:
I used to think Wen Shuang's luck was orchestrated by the production team, but now I think she might actually have some magical aura!
This is what it means to win easily, my friends! Look at the other groups sweating profusely as they search.
"Orange props," Wen Shuang murmured, "it turns out that props are divided into different levels." If we follow the popular classification, they are generally white, green, blue, red, and orange, which means... Wen Shuang looked at the red-topped Shangshang Lottery in his hand, which might be the highest-level prop.
Just as Wen Shuang expected, orange was the best. Then Chen Zong and Wang Yuze's groups found them one after another. One was a white prop and the other was a green prop. The points of the guests also changed accordingly. Wen Shuang and Jiang Ning's group took the lead.
The camera turned to Jiang Ning, who was a little restless. He was very curious about how Wen Shuang found it and how she scored so many points more than other groups.
Jiang Ning's expression cracked me up. He'd never have guessed that Wen Shuang not only didn't bother searching, but actually found a lucky charm.
[I know a little bit about this. The amulet Wen Shuang got was blessed. The runes and red lines are very particular and very effective.]
The temple is not very big, but placing a few props is enough to make everyone tired. Some of the props are placed more abruptly and obviously, and some are just a matter of luck. After searching for them all, they were sweating profusely. At noon, the sun was scorching and the guests were so hot that they took off their coats.
Lin Nuan stood in the middle of the yard, unzipped the front of her body, flipped her coat down, revealing a tube top-like dress with only two crisscrossing straps at the back. Her butterfly bones were almost flapping their wings. This girl's body capital was not only stunning, but also enviable.
Wen Shuang was standing behind Lin Nuan at this moment, staring at her without blinking.
[Lin Nuan was really... afraid she wouldn't be able to show any skin!]
[Mother Frost doesn’t allow you to look at her!!!]
[Heh, Wen Shuang is not immune to clichés either, her eyes are fixed on it.]
[Some of you are really malicious towards Lin Nuan. It's really quite amusing.]
Xuanzhe only glanced at Lin Nuan, then stared at Wen Shuang, who was motionless in the camera, and said in a flat voice: "Very beautiful."
How dare Cao Nanyu speak?
Pian Xuan always disliked letting others go when he was unhappy: "I'm asking you a question."
Assistant Cao stammered, "That's all."
Xuanzhe looked at Wen Shuang and nodded slightly, OK, you have the courage.
Chen Zong walked forward with a smile and patted Wen Shuang on the shoulder, "I like it"
"I like it." Wen Shuang was so frank that the camera trembled. Who knew he would say sincerely the next second: "This back would be great for cupping."
Everyone: “…”
Lin Nuan had originally opened her arms to embrace the sunshine, but upon hearing this, she paused and turned her head, looking incredulous. "What are you going to do with it?"
"Cupping." Wen Shuang was afraid Lin Nuan couldn't hear clearly, so she stepped forward to explain, "My grandma is really good at cupping. When I was a kid, people often came to her house to have cupping done, and I would watch from the side. Your back is so smooth and bright, the cup can stand up."
Lin Nuan looked at Wen Shuang carefully, trying to see even a hint of other emotions on his face.
But no.
Wen Shuang looked kind and said, "Really? My grandma even said she would pass this craft on to me."
Lin Nuan: "..."
"Stop talking..." Lin Nuan put on her clothes, looking a little weak. "I'm going to calm down."
Xuanzhe in front of the computer suddenly covered his lips and chuckled.
After three seconds of silence, the barrage of "hahahaha" came flooding in. Wen Shuang didn't think much of it, and #cupping##Lin Nuan# became trending searches one after another.
Chen Zong took a deep breath and felt that Wen Shuang was definitely not what she seemed. This person was too good at pretending. It seemed that Zhu Lian had trained a lot and had a first-class reaction speed.
The temple provides vegetarian meals, but no one wants the watery soup and wants to hold on until they reach the foot of the mountain.
When returning, Lin Nuan no longer pestered Wen Shuang, but walked alone beside her, with her zipper pulled up to the top, looking very shocked.
Isn't it? Lin Nuan debuted with her figure and face. I've never heard any compliments about her. This is really the first time I've seen cupping.
Wen Shuang rubbed against Lin Nuan and whispered, "I'm sorry, did I offend you?" It was also his fault. After establishing a relationship with Xuan Zhe, things were going so smoothly that he forgot that words could cause trouble.
Lin Nuan blinked lightly, not understanding why Wen Shuang apologized. She had swallowed down many harsher words than this, but she had experienced so much that she liked to overthink things. She felt that what Wen Shuang said just now was actually a form of rejection, so she stopped being annoying.
"No." Lin Nuan's tense heart relaxed slightly, and she felt the air become more relaxed.
There are rumors that she is arrogant and domineering, but in fact, if you give her a little kindness, this girl will be happy for a long time.
"Does your grandma really know how to cupping?" Lin Nuan asked. Jian Wen Shuang nodded seriously. She asked curiously, "What is that thing used for?"
"It's mainly for promoting blood circulation and activating the joints. It can cure a lot of things." Wen Shuang was a little proud. "My grandma is very good."
Lin Nuan likes to listen to Wen Shuang talk without any prejudice or sarcasm, which makes her almost forget the strict order from her agent. Now she needs the attention, even if it is negative news. Her agent requires her to be associated with either Jiang Ning or Wen Shuang in the program, and leave the publicity and hype to the public relations department. Lin Nuan is desperate and has learned the unique skill of separating the body and the mind over the years. The rumors on the Internet can no longer hurt her as long as she can achieve her goal.
Ke Wenshuang's face was very close, and the light and shadow of the tree shadow fell on his eyebrows and eyes, with a cleanness that Lin Nuan had not seen in a long time. Otherwise, forget it, she thought.
Jiang Ning was waiting anxiously on the roadside, thinking that an orange prop must be of great weight. Maybe Wen Shuang brought a bell from someone else's temple. Who knew that others were holding clay pots, oil lamps and other things, while Wen Shuang was almost penniless.
"Where are the props?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
Wen Shuang took the lucky number out of her pocket and said, "Here you go!"
Jiang Ning was so amused.
After resting for nearly an hour, Jiang Ning's knees didn't hurt as much anymore, and it was easy to go down the mountain. Wen Shuang walked in front, and Jiang Ning put one hand on his shoulder to lend a little support, so it was still easy.
"Hmm," Lin Nuan suddenly said, followed by a cry of surprise: "Ah!"
Things changed so quickly. Wen Shuang was chatting with Jiang Ning when she turned and saw Lin Nuan rushing towards them. Before Jiang Ning's smile faded, Wen Shuang pulled her aside. Without Jiang Ning to shield her, Lin Nuan's face revealed a look of despair. She subconsciously closed her eyes, thinking about rolling away, but she fell headfirst onto someone's shoulder. Someone protected her waist, and Wen Shuang rolled down with Lin Nuan in her arms!
"Wen Shuang!" Jiang Ning's face changed drastically.
The photographers were terrified, their cameras shaking wildly, and they chased after them, trying to stop them.
Fortunately, there were staff members stationed below. Three of them rushed over and finally stopped their fall on a relatively spacious bluestone slab.
Wen Shuang only felt a few sudden pains in her arms and calves, but everything else was fine.
Xuanzhe stood up suddenly, and put one hand firmly on the table, and his watch made a crisp sound when it hit the edge of the table.
The bluestone steps were not too far apart, but they were poorly padded. Lin Nuan was protected by Wen Shuang and didn't get bumped or bruised much. In the past, if she had such an opportunity, she would have definitely hidden in the male guest's arms and not come out. But this time was different. Wen Shuang could have easily avoided the situation just now, but he came forward. Lin Nuan immediately took Wen Shuang's hand away, stood up, and nervously looked at his face: "How is it?"
Wen Shuang hid the scraped skin on her wrist under her sleeve and shook her head: "It's okay."
Lin Nuan's eyes instantly turned red. She suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Someone just pushed me from behind!"
Wen Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't doubt the truth of this sentence.
Even if Lin Nuan wanted to capitalize on the popularity, she definitely wouldn't do it this way. If she caused either Jiang Ning or Wen Shuang to get hurt, she would be on the hot search list for a week.
In fact, the situation had already started to go wrong at this moment. After the screams in the barrage and comment section ended, the fire was uniformly directed at Lin Nuan.
Is this woman crazy...?
[I'm so pissed off at Lin Nuan! Seriously, this is the first time I hate a female artist this much!]
This is still acceptable, but the rest of the comments that are all about "Lin Nuan, go die" and even escalate to personal attacks are even more disgusting.
Jiang Ning came down with big strides and almost fell down. He quickly helped Wen Shuang up and asked, "How is it?"
Wen Shuang noticed that Jiang Ning's expression was off, as if he was about to scold Lin Nuan. She grabbed his arm tightly and said, "Let's go down and talk in detail."
When Jiang Ning heard this, he knew there was something else going on.
