Chapter 39



When everyone saw Tong Wenping again the next day, they felt that something was different about him.

He seemed to have completely accepted the fact that Jiang Meng wanted to divorce him, and he neither pestered nor harassed her.

It's more like what it's like to have a future ex-husband.

Not only did he keep a proper distance from Jiang Meng, he also took the initiative to get food.

The reason he is willing to do it himself is not because he has become more diligent, but because the current situation is that he can't get any free meals and has been hungry all night, so now he has to do it himself.

However, he couldn't find anything good to eat, and he didn't even know how to start a fire, so he couldn't cook. He could only pick some wild fruits to fill his stomach.

So whenever other people on the island were enjoying delicious food and feasting on it, Tong Wenping would turn around and see himself alone in the forest, chewing wild fruits in a mess. The sour wild fruits made his face look hideous and his courage gushed out.

The contrast is not obvious.

Unfortunately, no one on the other side of the camera sympathized with him. They were all enjoying the scene and applauding.

He's been on the island for six or seven days, and he hasn't mastered even the most basic survival skills. Is he completely helpless without his wife?

He can't do anything anyway. Didn't he say that letting his wife work gives her a sense of security? How could such a conscious man possibly take his wife's job? [Picking nose]]

He lived off his wife for six days and then had the nerve to hit her. This proves that the less capable a person is, the worse their temper becomes. Now, he's finally getting his comeuppance.

Hahahaha, it's been seven days! I've finally waited for this day! To be honest, I've been fed up with Tong Wenping for a long time. He has all the bad habits of every stinky man in the world. He does nothing all day long, just complains and bosses people around. From day one of the show, I've been imagining how miserable and miserable his life would be if his wife stopped caring about him. I never thought I'd finally get to see this, hahahaha. I'm so happy!

What's so good about just one day of misery? He exploited my sister for such a long time. A girl's entire youth was ruined by this lowly man. I'm really upset!

[That's right, just thinking about it makes me angry! After filming ends tomorrow morning, his embarrassing appearance on the show will be a thing of the past, and he'll even get paid handsomely. He's a famous screenwriter. So what if he divorces his wife? So what if his wife is Meng Jiang? He's just as famous as Meng Jiang, and he's not even forty yet. In some people's eyes, he's a hot commodity. Finding a younger, prettier woman would be easy. To put it bluntly, he might just get divorced and then have someone else come knocking on his door.]

[Ugh—it's the truth, so just thinking about it makes me sick. Please, can't you just stop him from appearing? I don't want to watch his dramas anymore.]

His mistakes wouldn't get him banned; at most, they'd make him look down on others. And there are plenty of people who look down on others in the capital market. They might even share Tong Wenping's sentiments and admire him even more. And his script isn't completely unsellable. If he were willing to compromise a bit, many companies would be vying for it. It might even become a hit once it's filmed. This is the truth, the suffocating reality.

[I don't care about others, I only represent myself. From now on, I will not watch any plays written by Tong Wenping.]

[+1 for not watching. I don't believe that if we all don't watch it, will the capital continue to film Tong Wenping's scripts if it can't make money?]

[Am I the only one who thinks he's miserable enough now? Just being soured by wild fruits is no big deal. Can you make him even more unlucky? Even a bird can poop on his head, quick! You, you bastard, will bring me bad luck for the rest of my life!]

As soon as the audience member finished speaking, a big fat seagull flew over Tong Wenping's head, took a pile of feces, and with a plop, it landed right on his head.

Tong Wenping noticed something strange above his head and instinctively reached out to touch it, only to have his hands covered in bird droppings.

His face was distorted with pain. He wiped the bird droppings on his hands on the tree trunk in disgust and ran straight to the water source on the island.

However, before he reached his destination, he saw the waterfall and was so anxious that he didn't pay attention to his feet. He slipped on the wet soil and fell face first.

A very comical human figure was printed on the mud.

Tong Wenping is now dirty from head to toe, with not a single spot clean.

The viewer who had just posted the unlucky comment was stunned.

[Ahhh! Am I really that smart? ]

[My family is good at talking, please speak more!]

[Wow~ Is this a blessed mouth? It’s just different, I love it.]

[Youyou is so clever with your words, what you say will definitely come true, making the man below unlucky for the rest of his life! ]

[These two bad lucks really make me feel happy physically and mentally. I hope Tong Wenping can continue to have bad luck today.]

Tong Wenping had been out for most of the day and had only found a few sour fruits that were so sour that they could make you bile. Now he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and his mouth was full of sourness. First there was bird droppings, then he slipped and fell. He could only wash his hair and take a bath in the freezing cold mountain spring water.

Looking back on his experiences, he could only describe himself as extremely unlucky.

He has been having a hard time since yesterday afternoon.

It seemed like something was challenging his mental breaking point at every moment. The other guests were unfriendly and even excluded him, and his wife had become estranged from him.

Last night I was hung upside down twice like a wild animal. My thighs were inexplicably swollen and my sensitive parts were rubbed raw.

At first it was just skin pain, but starting last night, the pain spread from his lower abdomen to his waist. He also broke out in cold sweats and felt nauseous. He didn't get a good night's sleep the whole night.

It still hurts now.

Life on the island was no longer easy and casual. He was facing a mental breakdown at any time. He wanted to leave so badly that he didn't want to stay there for even a minute.

The only thing that can sustain him is that the show will end tomorrow, his hard days will be over one day, and he can also receive filming remuneration.

Another comforting thing is that he signed Jiang Meng's contract together, and Jiang Meng's remuneration also belongs to him and was transferred to his account.

Didn't Jiang Meng want to divorce him? Since Jiang Meng was heartless, don't blame him for being ungrateful. Jiang Meng couldn't even think of taking a penny of his money!

Tong Wenping cleaned himself up by the spring. He couldn't wash off the mud stains on his clothes, so he could only simply rinse off the excess dirt and then put on his dirty clothes.

One look at his appearance showed that he had just fallen flat on his face.

At this point, Tong Wenping no longer cared about his disheveled appearance; he simply wanted to find a place to bask in the sun. Because the spring water was cold, he washed his clothes and then showered, his wet clothes clinging to his body. Tong Wenping, middle-aged and not as strong as he once was, shivered with cold.

The sun is the best on the beach, and there is no obstruction, making it the best place to keep warm.

However, the shivering Tong Wenping finally reached the nearest beach, only to find that there were already people on the beach.

It was still the people he hated the most, Jing Ye, and his sister.

The temperature on the island is not high today. The sun is hidden in the clouds most of the time. There are dark clouds floating on the sea in the distance. The temperature on the beach is just right and the sea breeze is comfortable.

So on this rare and pleasant morning, Mingfu and Jingye came to the beach.

On this last day, Mingfu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Jing Ye, who was supposed to die accidentally on the show, did not encounter any accident and is now sitting next to her safely.

Pei Haotian got into trouble instead, which was something she didn't expect and was a pleasant surprise.

Jing Ye gained a lot in the past few days. It was a rare week for him to spend time with his sister, and it was also the first time in many years since Ming Fu fell ill.

You wouldn't know unless you get along with her. After these few days, he realized that he had underestimated his sister. His Mingfu is much more capable than he imagined.

She had been a great help since the competition before going to the island. Later, she was able to build a shelter, make a fire, find water, and always find ways to find various kinds of food. It could be said that the two brothers and sisters were the most comfortable group on the island and had never lacked food.

Another happy thing was seeing Pei Haotian in trouble.

Jing Ye lay on the beach, his hands resting on his head, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, in a very good mood.

"Afu, are you happy following your brother these days?"

"Brother, are you happy?" Ming Fu asked back.

She didn't feel happy or unhappy, just at ease. She didn't come here to play, but fortunately Jing Ye was fine now, so her trip was not in vain.

"I'm so happy! It's the last day. I'll get paid tomorrow morning. The words 'work is over' are what I like to hear the most, and I also like to get my money divided. Seeing the balance in my account makes me the happiest. Ah Fu, you know what I mean? Money makes people feel at ease and safe."

You are especially happiest when you tell the old man that you have earned money and he is shocked by your balance.

He also firmly believed that one day his assets would surpass those of the old man in his family and he would become the number one in their Ming family.

Ming Fu thought differently. She always knew that her brother was making money by disgraceful means to treat her illness. In the final analysis, Jing Ye valued money so much because of her.

Because she had developed the habit of being a miser, even though she has recovered from her illness now, her brother still has not changed his habit and still believes that only money can bring security.

Her brother is so good to her!

Seeing Ming Fu didn't say anything, Jing Ye thought she was unhappy because she came here for free and didn't get any notice fee.

He thought he was not a stingy brother, Jing Ye said generously: "But don't worry, Ah Fu, although you are a free person and can't get the announcement fee, I will give you half of it."

"No, brother, keep it for yourself. You have contributed too much to this family." Ming Fu suddenly held his hand and told him seriously, "You should keep the money you earn in the future."

Jing Ye was deeply moved. Listen to what his sister said. He has given too much to this family. His sister understands him!

His father dislikes him for not having a proper job, his mother says he doesn't care about his family, and everyone in the family is against him making his debut.

His family is not short of money, so he should focus on his studies and improve his abilities. Why should he enter the entertainment industry, be criticized by others, have no vacation time, and no privacy?

The only one who understands him is his sister. She is the first one in the family to recognize him, understand his dreams, and is his only supporter.

Jing Yehui held Ming Fu's hand, shook it carefully and solemnly, and said, "Afu, you are the only one who recognizes everything I do, and you are the only one who understands me. I have made up my mind. I don't want a penny of my announcement fee. I will give it all to you."

Such a good sister of his deserves all his announcement fees!

Ming Fu: “?”

How did half the notice fee become the full notice fee in just a few seconds? What on earth was her brother so moved by?

Jing Ye didn't want to say more. Talking too much would sound pretentious, which was not something a cool guy like him would do.

Jing Ye lay back down on the beach, looking as if he was hiding his achievements and fame.

He asked lazily, "Afu, what are we having for dinner tonight? I want to eat too."

Jing Ye no longer worried about the problem of food. He could only blame his sister for being so capable that she could find a lot of food every day and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Ming Fu hummed, "Brother, what do you want to eat? Lobster?"

Jing Ye: "Big lobster?"

"Yes, this big." Ming Fu gestured and saw that there was one meter long between her two hands.

Jing Ye: “!”

This must be a ten-pound lobster.

Is it possible to catch a ten-pound lobster in shallow waters? He doesn't want his son, Ah Fu, to go out to sea and fish for it, which may take hours, just to eat a bite of lobster.

"Let's not eat the lobster," Jing Ye said, "We still have a lot of food at home, and there's enough leftovers anyway."

Moreover, today was the last day, and he hoped Mingfu could take a day off, instead of having to worry about food every day like he had done in the past few days. Besides, he would be leaving early in the morning, and it would be a waste if the remaining food was not eaten.

Ming Fu looked puzzled: "Why don't you eat?"

Jing Ye swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, I don't like to eat it, okay?"

Ming Fu: "But I remember you loved to eat. When we were little, you often snatched it from me. Brother, your teammates also said that you loved to eat it."

Jing Ye: “…”

"I like to eat small ones. It's okay if I don't like big ones."

Ming Fu looked at Jing Ye in confusion for a while. Jing Ye stretched his neck and looked at her without any guilt.

Ming Fu then sighed, "What a pity! Just now, your teammate said he would bring a lobster over and we would eat it together tonight."

“!”

Jing Ye sat up suddenly: "Xu Weixing? Him?"

Ming Fu: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Jing Ye's mentality was completely different at this moment, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

"He said he would do it?"

Ming Fu was stunned for a moment and pointed behind Jing Ye.

"It's already been brought back."

Jing Ye turned around and followed her hand, and sure enough, he saw Xu Weixing holding a big lobster in his hand, which weighed at least ten kilograms.

But Xu Weixing looked fresh and dry, without a drop of water on his body, and he didn't look like he had been in the sea at all.

Jing Ye questioned, "Did you really catch this lobster?"

Xu Weixing denied it openly: "No."

Jing Ye immediately turned around and looked at Ming Fu. Could it be that his sister caught it in the sea, so she asked him if he wanted to eat it.

Oh my goodness, it was caught by his sister, and then it was snatched away by Xu Weixing?!

Jing Ye was about to ask for culpability when he heard Xu Weixing say, "I changed it, with the help of the production team."

"Didn't we set a lot of traps last night? Even though that guy wasted two, the others were fine. This morning after you left, we caught two prey, weighing over ten pounds in total."

Ming Fu: "Then I discussed with the production team and decided to switch to lobster."

Jing Ye said in surprise: "Did they agree?"

Meat is different from seafood, especially seafood like lobster. Not only is it more expensive to buy, but it also has certain transportation conditions. Even if the program crew wants to get it, they may not be able to do so.

Ming Fu thought for a moment and said, "Probably he is unwilling."

Xu Weixing nodded: "I'm really not willing to do that."

Anyway, after they caught the prey, they went to negotiate with the program crew, and the program crew still wanted to deal with them with meat.

Unfortunately, the logistics team happened to come back and happily informed everyone that tonight was their last day on duty and they would celebrate by having lobster in the evening.

As luck would have it, these words were heard by Ming Fu and Xu Weixing.

Then they questioned the production crew, saying that your production crew can eat lobster to celebrate the end of work, why can we only change to pork and chicken?

They still have two preys, so it’s not too much to exchange them for just one lobster to celebrate the last day.

The production crew had no way of reasoning with them, and finally had to compromise and give up a big lobster.

After hearing this, Jing Ye laughed out loud: "It is precisely because they are unwilling that we should be more popular."

"Brother, don't you dislike eating lobsters?" Ming Fu asked puzzledly.

Whenever Jing Ye thought of this cheating program crew, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

"I love to eat free stuff, especially the stuff I get from the crappy TV shows."

The production crew, who had a large lobster divided up, responded: "..."

How come a big lobster was stolen and you still can’t get anything back?

When they were taking Dabolong back, they met Tong Wenping, who was still looking dirty.

The white shirt on his body had turned into a mud shirt, and the black pants had also turned into mud pants. No one who fled was as miserable and miserable as he was.

Seeing the three people looking at him, he immediately turned his head away and didn't look at them, so as to avoid being ridiculed again.

However, in fact, Jing Ye was too lazy to ridicule him. Looking at Tong Wenping's current condition, there was no need to ridicule him in person. Letting him see that they were eating and drinking well and living a carefree and comfortable life, and comparing it with his misery, would be the most direct ridicule.

So Jing Ye deliberately walked past Tong Wenping with the lobster in his hand, and while walking, he discussed with his sister how to eat the lobster.

"It's a pity that there aren't many seasonings here. Otherwise, I could bake a big lobster with cheese, use half to make garlic sauce, and use the shrimp heads to make a seafood risotto. Just thinking about it makes me drool."

"Sea salt charcoal grilling is also very fragrant, and the shrimp brain can be stewed with potatoes, which is fresh and sweet."

"Then use the tongs to make a soup and that's about enough."

"We still have fresh tomatoes, so we can put a few in the soup."

People have passed by and the dishes have almost been discussed.

Although Tong Wenping didn't even glance at them, let alone look at their lobsters, it didn't stop him from secretly swallowing his saliva.

It's just a big lobster, what's the big deal? It's not like he hasn't eaten it before.

It's just one day. After today, starting from tomorrow, he can eat whatever he wants. He can order two lobsters at a time, no, three!

Make it whatever flavor you like.

Tong Wenping closed his eyes and comforted himself for a while, and finally calmed down his unwilling mood. When he opened his eyes again, he felt hopeful again.

The sun was not good today, and he could still wring water out of his clothes after sitting for an hour.

But his stomach wouldn't allow him to sit still and wait for the clothes to dry.

Helpless, he got up and strolled around the beach again, but he still couldn't find any seafood that could be eaten raw.

Afterwards, he returned to the forest on the island. This time he was lucky and finally he no longer had only sour wild fruits to eat. He found the banana forest on the island.

The moment he saw the banana grove, his eyes lit up. He trotted over and impatiently broke off the ripe bananas.

I ate ten in one go, and finally I felt better in my stomach.

Tong Wenping was very self-aware of his survival abilities. He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to find any other food, so he picked all the ripe bananas and planned to eat them to get by today.

There was no clean place on his body, so he didn't need to be particular. He just held Basho in his arms and went home.

At this time, his clothes were half dry and half wet, and his body was dirty and full of wrinkles.

When Jiang Meng saw him, she almost didn't recognize him and thought he was a wild man who appeared out of nowhere.

Jiang Meng didn't laugh at him, but just frowned in disgust, as if she was afraid that he would come over and smoke her.

Tong Wenping was not in a good mood. He had a gloomy face the whole time and passed by their house without saying a word, ignoring the big lobster that was emitting an enticing aroma.

However, at this moment he suddenly heard Jing Ye muttering softly. Actually, it was not a whisper, at least Tong Wenping, who was four or five meters away, could hear it clearly.

"Afu, look at that guy, is there bird poop on his head?"

Tong Wenping's heart was filled with alarm, thinking that the bird droppings on his head were not cleaned. He instinctively reached out to touch his head again, but forgot that he was still holding several kilograms of bananas in his arms.

When he raised his hand, the banana leaves in his arms fell to the ground.

Then he didn't care about the bird droppings on his head anymore, and quickly squatted down to pick up the banana leaves one by one.

It didn't matter that he squatted down, he could see the top of his head more clearly.

Jing Ye sighed, "Looking at it this way, it looks more like bird droppings."

Tong Wenping felt uneasy, afraid that Jing Ye would come over and find that there was real bird droppings on his head, so he quickly sped up his hands.

After he finished picking the banana leaves, he stood up and glared at Jiang Meng with resentment, which was his hatred for Jiang Meng's despise and indifference towards him.

Then he hugged Basho and ran towards his home.

"He didn't even refute it. It seems like he's really a bird shit..."

Jiang Meng also guessed it, and his expression became a little strange.

When a person no longer likes another person and no longer has him in his heart, everything about him will be annoying to him.

They had only been separated for one day, and Tong Wenping had managed to end up like this.

How could she have fallen for such a man in the first place? He is really useless.

When Tong Wenping heard the words behind him, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He should have taken a detour and not passed by their house.

Now that they know there is bird shit on his head, who knows how they will laugh at him behind his back.

And what was Jiang Meng's expression? He was just a little embarrassed, but Jiang Meng had no empathy at all. He just stood there watching coldly, colluding with them.

She is truly the most vicious woman!

In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless and kicking her out of the house.

Tong Wenping was chewing a banana in the room, smelling the lobster outside, and kept telling himself that he was eating lobster too, in an attempt to confuse his taste buds.

Basho ate a lot, and by the end he was starting to feel sour, but the aroma of the food on the other side had not yet dissipated.

Tong Wenping touched his uncomfortable stomach and comforted himself before going to bed, "Just have a good sleep. When you wake up, you'll feel better and your nightmare will be over."

It turned out his nightmare was far from over.

The dark clouds that were on the sea during the day drifted to the island at night, and suddenly there was a strong wind and a little rain on the island.

Tong Wenping's house was of poor quality to begin with, and yesterday they just repaired the roof as a pretense.

Now that the wind is blowing and the rain is falling, the palm leaves on the roof are no longer any use. It is basically like there is no roof. The heavier the rain outside, the heavier the rain inside.

Tong Wenping was woken up by the rain just as he fell asleep.

I finally managed to put on dry clothes before going to bed, but now they are soaked again.

He curled up in the corner of the room, trembling like a drowned dog.

Keep your eyes open and wait for dawn.
