It was 9 o'clock in the morning, two hours since they arrived at the deserted island, and the eight guests had not eaten a single bite.
If I just skipped breakfast it would be acceptable, but I was only given a piece of compressed biscuit last night. Since I didn’t eat enough the night before, the hunger this morning was even more unbearable.
Finally, Qiu Chengye couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly.
"I don't believe there's not much to eat in such a big forest. I'm going to go find something to eat. Who wants to join me?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the group of people sitting on the ground, especially lingering on Liu Woxing for a while.
But Liu Woxing didn't even look at him, and was completely immersed in Xie Mi's handicraft.
"Teacher Xie, what are you doing?"
"I'll carve a stick so I can use it to stab fish if I run into a stream or something."
Xie Mi worked hard, using a stone to sharpen the top of the stick to a very sharp point. Seeing that he could easily pierce the leaves, he nodded with satisfaction, "Done!"
Liu Woxing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Teacher Xie's cooking skills are really good."
Qiu Chengye, who witnessed the whole process, was so angry that his eyes were glowing green. He rushed between the two of them like a firecracker and directly knocked Liu Woxing away.
"Xie Mi, don't you have experience surviving on a deserted island? Come with me to find something to eat!"
[What's going on? The sun is rising from the west. Brother Mimi actually took the initiative to invite Lao Xie.]
[I said that my son will eventually return to his ancestral home when he grows up]
[Has my brother Qiu finally succumbed to Teacher Xie’s tyranny?]
[But why do I feel that there is some hostility in Mimi's eyes, as if he regards Lao Xie as an imaginary enemy]
[It turns out that he is not surrendering, but preparing for rebellion? 】
Xie Mi, who had already built his weapons and was ready to go on an adventure, readily agreed, "Okay."
Chen Yuqing, who had just returned from the forest with firewood, placed it next to the fire and said, "I'll go too."
"Then I'll go too." Xiao Jingxi said unwillingly.
Xu Shuangrong's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly stood up, "Then I'll go with you too. Five of us will go find food, and the remaining three will stay and watch the fire."
Yu Jinche smiled obediently, "Okay."
A temporary expedition team was formed, led by Qiu Chengye, who was inexplicably angry, and the group walked into the dense forest.
This forest really looks a bit like a primeval forest. The trees and plants around it are rarely seen in normal times. The dense branches and leaves are intertwined, making it difficult for sunlight to shine through.
Even on a sunny day, it is as dark as a cloudy day.
"We can listen carefully to see if there is any sound of water around us. Maybe there is a stream."
Xie Mi, wearing a full set of equipment and holding a goad, moved flexibly in the jungle, not at all afraid of the unfamiliar environment.
Seeing this, Qiu Chengye, who was already a little scared, rushed forward to be on the same level as Xie Mi, holding his head high, chest out and chin raised. He glanced at Xie Mi with indignation in his eyes.
How could he lose to Xie Mi?
"There should be fruit on the trees over here." Xu Shuangrong suddenly said, "Look at the ground, there are some rotten small fruits, they should have fallen from the trees after they were ripe."
They looked at the ground and actually found a few scattered fruits.
Qiu Chengye said almost immediately: "I'll go pick them! We have to find a stream someday. I think it's more reliable to pick the fruits. You guys just wait below and I'll climb up and drop the fruits down!"
After saying that, he ran to a big tree, suddenly tensed his biceps, shouted loudly thinking he was super manly, picked up the trunk and climbed up.
Years of fitness were indeed effective. He relied on the strength of his arms to cling tightly to the tree trunk and gradually climbed up.
Climbing a tree isn't difficult.
He couldn't help but curl his lips in satisfaction, recalling the surprised look Liu Woxing would give him when he returned with the pile of fruits.
He wants to prove with his strength that he is better than Xie Mi...
Bang!
A fruit fell on his head.
Qiu Chengye: “?”
He looked up in confusion, and his eyes suddenly widened when he saw the scene above.
When did Xie Mi climb to the top!!!
Xie Mi above was standing on a tree branch, holding the trunk with one hand and picking fruits and throwing them down with the other.
"It's picked up."
Qiu Chengye opened his mouth and was about to speak, "I..."
Bang!
"you……"
Bang!
"no……"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
He roared in anger, "It all fell on my head!!!"
"Perfect."
Xie Mi slid down from the tree and patted Qiu Chengye's shoulder, saying with great appreciation.
"The tree is too high. The fruits will fall and get smashed easily if you can't catch them. Your head just happens to act as a buffer. Is this part of your plan? There's something."
Qiu Chengye, who was about to curse, paused, swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and let out a laugh.
"Of course, I had expected this to happen."
"You're so smart." Chen Yuqing praised with a loving look.
Qiu Chengye looked even more proud.
[Brother Mimi! You have been pua!! (Very loud!!)]
[Poor Mimi, he hasn't realized that he has been played around by Xie Yushalu]
[Did Xie Yushalu really never engage in pyramid schemes? How could he brainwash people so easily? I suggest a strict investigation.]
I collected some fruits and finally had something to eat. But eating only fruits is not enough. I will need to build a place to sleep tonight later, so replenishing my physical strength is necessary.
"Did you hear any noise?"
Xie Mi, who was jumping the fastest, suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes and looked around vigilantly.
Chen Yuqing's tall figure squatted in front of a bush and pushed it aside.
"Is this what you are talking about?"
A gray rabbit was squatting in the grass. It was startled by Chen Yuqing's action of pushing away the leaves, and ran away.
But even so, others saw it clearly.
"There are rabbits here?!" Qiu Chengye's eyes lit up and he was about to chase after them.
However, Xiao Jingxi stopped him with a frown, glanced at the photographer following behind him, and immediately put on a serious attitude and spoke.
"Hunting is illegal, and we must abide by the law."
"It's true that hunting is illegal, but that rabbit doesn't look wild at all."
Xie Mi had jumped onto a tree at some point, holding onto the trunk with one hand and placing the other hand flat in front of his brow, looking in the direction where the rabbit was running away.
"And there's a small piece of pink and white cloth tied to the rabbit's foot. It's the logo of Love Police."
Xiao Jingxi paused, "You mean..."
"These are livestock placed here by the program team, which means we can hunt them," said Xu Shuangrong.
A word of enlightenment came from the walkie-talkie on the photographer's waist at the right time.
"Yes, you finally found it."
"Since it is a deserted island, hunting is an essential survival skill, but hunting is illegal in China, so the program team released some poultry and livestock for legal hunting."
