Chapter 75 Camping at Yueming Mountain (2)
Seeing Jin Li's meaningful smile, the members couldn't help but shudder.
It's a hot summer day, but for some reason I feel a chill down my spine.
Not daring to think too deeply about the reason, Zhong Gaoyi immediately shook his head to get rid of the negative thoughts from his mind.
It must be because the temperature in the mountains is lower than in the city!
Except for the cameraman, everyone else in the production team left, leaving only the members and their respective camping equipment.
Yueming Mountain, located in the far suburbs of Yuehai City, is not a well-known tourist attraction. Many areas here have not yet been developed, so the scenery on the mountain is relatively pristine.
Judging from the fact that there are ancient tombs hidden in the mountains and that tomb robbers have visited there, the feng shui of this place should be good.
Coming to Yueming Mountain again after several months, Mo Bei felt a little subtle.
For him, the memories of this place are not really good.
Anyone who opens his eyes and finds himself lying in a tattered coffin, wearing tattered clothes and turned into a terrifying zombie will probably be scared to death.
Then, he learned from the system that he had been dead for 20 years and that both his parents were orphaned. Before he could process this fact, he encountered tomb robbers. After a hasty escape, he encountered fans visiting his grave at the funeral home at the foot of Yueming Mountain. This series of events left him with a less than positive memory of the mountain.
"Brother Mo Nan, come and help set up the tent!"
Lei Lie's call from a distance interrupted Mo Bei's thoughts. He sighed silently and walked forward.
The program crew arranged a campsite on a relatively flat piece of land halfway up a mountain. Surrounding it were a lush forest and numerous unnamed shrubs. Near the campsite was a winding mountain stream. Various wild birds could be spotted from time to time in the mountains.
If they hadn't been spending the night in the mountains, the members might have been in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
But it was already 11 a.m. They had to set up the tent and prepare lunch as soon as possible.
Some people are anxious while others are calm and unhurried.
Unlike Lei Lie and Sheng Yanyu, who preferred to stick to their plans, Tao Xiaotie was already hungry after a long morning of hard work. He simply sat down on a clean rock and began to eat some snacks.
Bai Li hated any troublesome physical labor, so he sat down beside them.
But just sitting there doing nothing didn't seem like a good idea, so he followed Zhong Gaoyi and started cooking instant noodles.
Zheng Xingye exchanged the instant noodle pot with the program team using his individual reward. He also used the gift package to exchange for a fishing chair and a gas tank stove.
Fortunately, although the production team likes to stir up trouble, they didn't go so far as to forbid the members from using modern tools. Otherwise, they would probably have to use the most ancient method of drilling wood to make fire.
As for the instant noodles, they were exchanged by Choi Jun-hee. It had to be done; Tao Xiaotie was the only one who brought food. But he only brought small snacks like potato chips, which wouldn't satisfy hunger.
To avoid starvation, he traded his team's winning gift pack for five packets of instant noodles. But even that was still a drop in the bucket. Five packets of instant noodles were not enough for ten people.
After helping his teammates set up their tents for the night, Mo Bei walked around the stream near the camp. Seeing this, the photographer speculated that he might be trying to catch some fish.
However, they did not have any suitable tools at hand, such as fishing rods and fishing nets, so it was not easy to catch fish in the stream.
But the photographer didn't know that the man in front of him didn't actually think about this. He just wanted to confirm whether this stream was the same one he had encountered next to the ancient tomb.
After walking along the river bank for a while and still not finding the pile of graves that were unearthed, Mo Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not in the same area.
Back at the campsite, the members had already started eating instant noodles.
In the footage, the idol, who should be handsome and dazzling, is now like a refugee, huddled around a small soup pot, sharing noodles without a care for their image. This scene is so heartbreaking.
5 packets of instant noodles shared by 10 guys are not enough to fill them up, and with Tao Xiaotie, a big eater, around, the members can only taste the food at most.
Touching his flat stomach, Tao Xiaotie sighed softly, "I'm so hungry."
Bai Li glanced at him sideways when he heard that. "Are you still hungry? You've already eaten most of this pot of instant noodles."
"What should we do next?" Yi Chuheng hesitated, "Should we go to the nearby woods to find some wild fruits or something?"
Sheng Yanyu nodded, "Let's look for it. Just in case we can find it."
Lei Lie agreed, "Let's see if we can catch a few fish when we go to the river to wash the pot later."
Hearing this, everyone looked over in surprise: "Brother Lie, can you catch fish?"
"...No." Lei Lie touched his nose awkwardly, "But we have to try. The food provided by the production team is limited, and we can't keep going hungry."
Of course, ideals are beautiful, but whether they can be realized in the end depends on luck.
After assigning their respective tasks, the members began to get busy with their own work.
Some people were responsible for collecting wild fruits, while others were responsible for catching fish in the river.
Fortunately, there were indeed fish in the stream near the camp, but unfortunately, they had no tools to catch them. Seeing that Mo Bei had a knife, Lei Lie borrowed it and picked up a thin branch to make a simple fishing stick.
However, for those who have never fished in the river, it is not easy to spear fish with such simple tools.
After seeing Lei Lie fail more than ten times in a row, Bai Li, who was sitting on the shore, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He walked to the water's edge, squatted, raised his hand, and waved it twice above the surface. Then, like claws, his five fingers plunged into the stream. Then, a large, fat crucian carp was firmly grasped in his grip. The fish's energetic tail swung back and forth, splashing water all over his face.
Seeing this, Lei Lie was so shocked that his mouth opened into an "O" shape.
The cameraman who witnessed Bai Li's action was also stunned.
Oh my god! Catching fish with bare hands? That’s amazing!
However, Bai Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just threw the fish onto the gravel beach on the shore and then aimed at the next one.
Just like that, without any tools, Bai Li caught more than a dozen crucian carps one after another with his bare hands and brought them ashore.
"Is that about it?"
Lei Lie closed his jaw in surprise and nodded: "That's enough."
Seeing this, Bai Li washed his hands, stood up and walked towards the camp.
While Lei Lie was cleaning up the fish on the shore, he shouted to his teammates who were busy catching fish in the distance.
"Okay, stop catching! Bai Li has already caught it!"
When asked, Zheng Xingye and others who were busy making fishing rods were suddenly stunned.
When they saw the pile of crucian carp on the shore, everyone showed the same expression as Lei Lie did before.
"Fuck!"
Thanks to Bai Li's catch, the members didn't have to go hungry tonight. After all, the other group that went to the woods to find wild fruits didn't go well.
Because there were no proper seasonings, the members could only use the seasoning packets left over from cooking instant noodles at noon as a substitute.
Although the instant noodle-flavored fish soup and grilled fish are not particularly delicious, they have a unique flavor in this environment.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to wash up and go to bed for the night.
In the summer, mosquitoes were plentiful in the mountains. During the day, while searching for wild fruit in the woods, the team members had already killed more than a dozen. At night, when they went to the waterside to wash up, the mosquitoes swarmed even more. Only then did they understand why Gionee had specifically mentioned preparing outdoor mosquito repellent.
"Everyone, put on some cooling oil. It not only relieves itching and swelling, but also repels mosquitoes."
Seeing Mo Bei take out the cooling oil, Zheng Xingye, who was covered with mosquito bites, immediately showed excitement.
"Brother Mo Nan, you are simply my savior!"
Camping on the mountain, the members had nothing to do and could only spend the long night chatting.
Zhong Gaoyi shrank his neck.
During the day, he didn't feel anything because it was daylight and everyone had something to do. But now that night had fallen and everything was quiet, he couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard during the day about the zombies in Yueming Mountain.
To ease his inner uneasiness and divert his attention, he asked in a dry voice, "Are you sure there aren't any wild animals on this mountain?"
"Didn't Brother Jinli say there were no wild animals on this mountain?"
Seeing Zhong Gaoyi's nervous expression, Zheng Xingye smiled wickedly as if realizing something, "I don't know if there are any wild beasts, but there might be zombies."
Mo Bei: "..."
Lei Lie, Bai Li, and Tao Xiaotie: "..."
Zhong Gaoyi immediately got furious. "Didn't they say that those were all made up by tomb robbers? Don't scare me!"
Zheng Xingye laughed, "I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously..."
Before he could finish his words, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods in the distance.
For a moment, the laughter in the camp stopped abruptly.
However, when everyone quieted down, the noise disappeared.
Xu Tingchuan stared at the woods, his already gloomy and stern face becoming even more serious. No matter how well he tried to hide it, his stiff body betrayed his inner uneasiness.
"Maybe it's a wild boar."
Zheng Xingye gave a dry laugh, as if to lighten the mood, and said, "Or maybe it's some other nocturnal animal. Look how nervous you are."
As the team leader, Sheng Yanyu coughed and then stepped forward to take charge of the situation. "Alright, everyone, don't scare yourselves. With so many of us gathered together, there won't be any danger."
After hearing this, those who were originally worried slowly put their minds at ease.
Since there were no entertainment activities during the wild camping, the members washed up and went into their tents to play with their phones for a while before going to sleep.
Zheng Xingye originally planned to do the same.
But just as he was about to enter the tent, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow passing by in the distant woods out of the corner of his eye.
In just a moment, he froze in place.
After being stunned for a long time, he bravely turned on the flashlight and shone it into the woods, but found nothing.
At the side, Cui Junxi, who shared a tent with him, saw him standing outside motionless and couldn't help but stick his head out to ask, "What are you looking at, Lao Zheng?"
Zheng Xingye came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."
He must have been dazzled just now.
In another tent not far away, Bai Li looked thoughtfully at the woods opposite, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
Noticing Bai Li's expression, Mo Bei instinctively felt that something was going to happen next.
After all, if the other person smiles like this, it is likely that he has seen through some secret.
For example, he had previously seen through his hidden zombie identity, and on the full moon night before, he had already known the inside story about Lei Lie's disappearance.
Thinking about it, Mo Bei asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Bai Li smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't sleep too deeply later. The production team has arranged some goodies for us."
Mo Bei: "..."
However, he is a zombie and does not need deep sleep.
Even though he looked very much like a living person at first glance, only he knew that there was still an essential difference between him and living people, because he still needed enough love from humans to continue to maintain his current status.
Shaking off irrelevant thoughts and thinking carefully about what Bai Li had just said, Mo Bei suddenly understood.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you saying the production team arranged a prank for us?"
Prank sessions are an element that is included in many variety shows, especially in group variety shows with multiple people.
Thinking of the rumors about the "Zombies of Yueming Mountain" mentioned on the way here and the meaningful words that Jin Li said before leaving during the day, Mo Bei was sure that the program crew must have arranged a prank segment, and it must be related to supernatural rumors such as zombies and ghosts.
Bai Li's eyelids twitched slightly. "The production team has arranged an ambush in the woods. Zheng Xingye and I both saw a white shadow flash by. It's obvious that they are trying to pretend to be a ghost to scare us."
Mo Bei seemed to be lost in thought when he heard this, and a hint of cunning flashed across his jade-carved, cold face.
"Should we give them a taste of their own medicine?"
Hearing this, Bai Li was startled, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, "You have become bad."
"I learned it from you."
“…”
Bai Li looked at Mo Bei: "How do you want to play?"
Although Jiang Mo Nan appears to be a cold-faced, warm-hearted, steady and reliable person in the eyes of outsiders, he always feels that this is just an external appearance, and his actual personality is not as serious and formal as the outside world imagines.
The person in front of him smiled slightly, came over and whispered a few words, and then a hint of interest flashed across Bai Li's face.
"Interesting. I'll do as you say later."
