And the result of having a numb waist for the whole night and waking up the next day was naturally -
Two huge panda eyes grew silently on Su Yan's face, and Han Tiantian, who was standing next to him, was shocked when she saw it. She hurriedly asked Su Yan what was going on.
"Sister Su Yan, you...didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so haggard just after getting up? Are you okay?"
It’s not that he didn’t sleep well last night, but Su Yan basically didn’t sleep at all last night.
First, she had to get up and keep watch for half the night, and in the second half of the night, she was so nervous that she couldn't close her eyes properly all night because she was on guard against the man sleeping on the other side of her. She had to pretend to be fast asleep, which made her whole body stiff and numb. It would be strange if she could sleep well.
Su Yan only closed his eyes slightly and took a short nap when it was almost dawn.
In contrast, the other guests on the show felt pretty good about their first night on the deserted island. Even the seemingly pampered Han Tiantian said frankly, "I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night, but I slept really well in the second half of the night."
"Me too. I felt a little cold in the first half of the night, but my body became warmer in the second half. I even dreamed that someone covered me with a blanket at night, haha..."
Liang Xu spoke carelessly, but before he could finish, he was accidentally interrupted by Feng Mo, who had just gotten up and was yawning while getting dressed. "Yes, yes... someone tucked you in last night, and that person was a fairy, right? To be honest, when I was young, I often dreamed of fairies..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding guests and the staff who were preparing for the broadcast could not help but laugh. Liang Xu laughed so hard that his face turned red and he was too embarrassed to speak anymore.
However, after Feng Mo's mind became clearer, he was a little surprised that he didn't sleep well last night. It seemed that it was not just Su Yan, but even Qin Zian next to him didn't seem to sleep well. He had some light dark circles under his eyes and looked like he was not getting enough sleep.
But before Feng Mo could speak, Qin Zian had already made a gesture to silence him, and then said with a faint smile: "I am a little picky about my bed and not used to it, so I didn't sleep well last night."
Qin Zian on the opposite side said this, so Feng Mo naturally nodded to show his understanding and didn't say much. He just felt something was strange in his heart. Everyone sleeping on both sides slept well, so why couldn't the two people sleeping in the best position in the middle sleep well?
This is really strange. Could insomnia be contagious?
Of course, Feng Mo couldn't figure out the reason for this, and he didn't have enough time to figure it out. Just after everyone got up and got ready, the live broadcast cameras on the staff's side were all in place.
With a "click" sound from Director Yang, all the live cameras started their work for the new day.
On the second day after arriving at the first stop, the deserted island, everyone had almost adapted. Compared to the chaos of yesterday, the mission objectives after waking up today were much more precise.
First of all, we had to build each group's house. With the experience of the first round of house building, everyone's house was built quickly. It was also convenient to get materials for the second round of house building. We could just use what we built last night. If it was not enough, we could go and get some back. It was much more convenient than last night when we had nothing to give.
So, after about three hours, all four groups had built their own houses. Of course, the degree of completion of the houses varied depending on their experience and techniques.
For example, the houses of Su Ran and Lin Ling'er's group, and Liang Xu and Lin Yuanyuan's group were built relatively carelessly, but they could still provide basic shelter from wind and rain. As newcomers to survival, this is already a great improvement.
Even Director Yang beside him couldn't help but nodded with a little surprise, thinking that this season's new survival guests have made a lot of progress compared to the previous season. You know, in the previous season, most of the guests could only barely build a rickety house when they were about to leave the first stop island. This season's newcomers are much better than the previous season.
But the person who was most surprised was not Director Yang, but Feng Mo. He had thought that Su Yan would not be able to help with building the house, but he did not expect that with Su Yan there, the house was built in just two or three days.
Although he was the one who built the main beam and foundation, by the time he came to his senses, Su Yan had already woven the roof and the surrounding "windbreak walls" with large leaves, and the weaving was very strong and neat.
After all the 'windbreak walls' were finally tied and installed, Feng Mo walked out and took a look. He discovered that the house built by their group was the fastest, the strongest, and the most solid among the four groups. Even Qin Zian's group's house was almost finished, and it didn't look as good as his.
Seeing this, Feng Mo's mood suddenly improved. Even looking at Su Yan beside him, his opinion of him changed a little. He felt that although Su Yan was a little willful, he was also very capable and could do his job well. Maybe he would be a good survival partner. After getting along with him like this, it didn't seem so uncomfortable. On the contrary, it seemed a little comfortable.
After thinking about it, Feng Mo's mood soon became better. He felt that he seemed to be luckier participating in "Love Island" this season than the previous season. When Feng Mo was in a good mood, he always liked to show off his skills to the female guests who partnered with him.
So, the next moment, Feng Mo invited Su Yan: "By the way, Su Yan, now that the house is built, why don't you come with me to go hunting? Maybe you can help me hunt something good."
Go hunting with Feng Mo?
To be honest, Su Yan was a little hesitant, but judging by the situation of the program, it was estimated that the same action would be taken on each group later. If the female guests did not act with the male guests, it would become a case of the female guests acting together.
It wouldn't be a big deal if I were to do something with Lin Yuanyuan, Han Tiantian and others, but if I was unlucky and ended up doing something with Lin Ling'er, that would be terrible.
So, it would be safer to act together with Feng Mo.
And to be honest, Su Yan was quite excited about hunting. After all, Su Yan's hunting skills had always been good, and in addition to the knife, he was also very good at using a hunting bow.
However, the hunting tools in this world seem to be a little different. At least Su Yan has never seen anything like a bow and arrow. It would be nice to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Su Yan nodded and agreed to go out hunting with Feng Mo, and asked Feng Mo how to use the tools he brought with him.
Feng Mo's main hunting method is sea fishing, but because his results from sea fishing yesterday were rather disastrous, he planned to snorkel nearby today, not far away, just nearby.
So the main equipment he carried with him were diving goggles, fins, harpoon, fish basket and other equipment, and Feng Mo had already put on a more professional diving suit early on.
Except for the harpoon and fish basket, which are the basic equipment, every guest on the show has them in their tool kit. Other diving goggles, diving suits and the like are obviously the equipment that Feng Mo brought himself. Seeing that Su Yan didn't seem to know much about these diving equipment, he explained them one by one, and also explained the other equipment that he would bring along.
This means that before they go sea fishing, they will probably set up some bird nets and traps in the jungle to see if they can catch any other terrestrial prey.
This was inspired by the pheasant Qin Zian caught yesterday, proving that the food resources on this deserted island are relatively abundant. Setting up a trap might yield some unexpected gains.
While Su Yan was listening to Feng Mo's explanation, Han Tiantian, who had been particularly attached to Su Yan recently, also came over. Probably knowing what Su Yan was going to do, she also wanted to go hunting with him, but she didn't dare to say it directly.
After all, today's cooperation is not like yesterday's temporary cooperation. Now we are acting in groups. According to the program team, it is best to act in groups. If we want to change partners, we have to wait until the first stop of survival on the deserted island is about to end before we can re-select group partners.
With this in mind, Han Tiantian had no choice but to suggest to her partner, Qin Zian, "Now that we're done, why don't we go hunting too? We can go with Feng Mo's group, and Su Yan will come along. Su Yan and I can go together and just help you out, just be your assistant. What do you think, Teacher Qin?"
In fact, at this moment, Qin Zian was more hesitant than Su Yan. His reason told him to separate the Su Yan over there from the person in his memory and not to confuse them. But the reality was that he saw the shadow of that person on Su Yan again and again, and sometimes the shadows even overlapped.
This feeling was actually not pleasant, and even made Qin Zian feel a little flustered. In this situation, it would be better for him to reduce contact with Su Yan.
But... Qin Zian didn't have any normal reason.
Moreover, Han Tiantian was indeed eager to stay with Su Yan. Her liking for Su Yan had been clearly demonstrated since last night. As a gentleman, it seemed that it had not been long since he even agreed to such a small request from his female partner.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Zian nodded and agreed. He raised his hand to wave to Feng Mo, indicating that their group would also go with him. He asked Feng Mo and the others to wait for a while and he would go to pack his tool kit and come back.
However, when Qin Zian and Han Tiantian packed up their hunting tools and walked over to Feng Mo and Su Yan, they discovered that it wasn't just their group that was there. Two other groups had also arrived. Qin Zian couldn't help but be stunned. He subconsciously said, "Why are there so many people?"
Isn't it? I thought two groups of four going together was already a large group, but now there are four groups of eight going together. How can it not be a large group? Not to mention they thought each group would go alone today.
In fact, at the very beginning, each group did plan to act alone. Wasn't it that Han Tiantian's action of running to Su Yan and Feng Mo to look around and then running back was caught by Su Ran who happened to be passing by?
Suddenly, Su Ran, who regarded Han Tiantian as a competitor, felt unhappy and immediately understood what this "competitor" was planning.
So, after Su Ran returned, he asked Lin Linger if she wanted to go hunting with Feng Mo and Su Yan's group.
Lin Ling'er was not very interested in Feng Mo and Su Yan, but she was interested in Qin Zi'an. She just saw Qin Zi'an greeting Feng Mo and saying that he wanted to go together. She was thinking about how to ask him to go with her, but unexpectedly, Su Ran came up and asked her if she wanted to go together. Lin Ling'er naturally had no objection and agreed immediately.
As for the group of Liang Xu and Lin Yuanyuan, it was purely an accident. They had originally planned to act alone, mainly to see if there were any edible fruits or crops in the forest. It would be even better if they could catch pheasants or partridges. Their hunting method was mainly land hunting.
But before they set off, they turned around and discovered that besides their group of guests, three other groups of male and female guests were actually planning to go hunting together? So... didn't this mean that their group of guests had fallen behind?
Seeing this, Lin Yuanyuan and Liang Xu had no choice but to join in and go hunting together.
To be honest, Su Yan didn't know why. She originally chose to go hunting with Feng Mo in order to avoid moving with the main group and reduce the attention. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, all the guests of the show gathered together again. At this point, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only follow the main group helplessly.
Because there were so many people, we decided to focus on looking for fruits and hunting in the jungle at noon, but a little later, around three or four in the afternoon, when the sun was not so strong, we would go sea fishing.
In this way, both sides' hunting methods are arranged, so there will always be a chance of getting nothing. It is also more convenient for new survivors to learn from the side.
After the discussion, the four groups of guests set off together. It must be said that the girls had better eyesight when it came to finding fruits. After a while, Han Tiantian and Lin Yuanyuan both had some harvests.
Han Tiantian was lucky enough to find a ripe papaya, while Lin Yuanyuan found a banana tree with a row of bananas on it, but they were still green and not ripe.
Su Ran picked one out of curiosity to eat, but after just one bite, his whole handsome face twisted up, his mouth was full of a bitter taste, and he couldn't eat it at all.
"It's okay. Although these plantains are still raw, they're not completely inedible. Last season, Feng Mo, others, and I ate quite a few of them. Once they're roasted and cooked, they'll be ready to eat. Although they don't taste particularly good, we can't be picky when food is scarce."
In this regard, Feng Mo, who had experienced hardships, agreed very much with Lin Yuanyuan's words, and said that sometimes, the banana is even a very good thing. When you are hungry, you rely on it. Let's carry it away first.
"The same goes for crops like cassava. They're inedible raw, but after being roasted and cooked, the toxic substances are removed, making them edible and potentially life-saving. This is a tropical region, and it's also where crops like cassava grow. We'll keep an eye out for them later, hoping we can dig up some."
After walking for a while, Lin Linger was also sharp-eyed and found an orange tree. The orange fruits were very beautiful and delightful. However, after Liang Xu picked one to try, he immediately spat out the flesh, saying that it was completely useless and could not be eaten. The orange looked beautiful, but it was obviously not edible. It was an unripe fruit and too sour.
From this perspective, it was a rare achievement for Han Tiantian to spot the ripe papaya at first sight. Most of the fruits in this jungle are unripe and sour. It is very difficult to find ripe and sweet ones.
Even if there were any, they would have fallen into the mud long ago and rotted, making them inedible.
But in the end, everyone still brought back a few unripe oranges. Although they were too sour to eat directly, they were still useful as a seasoning.
Moreover, it must be said that everyone was really lucky when they started looking for food and harvested a lot. After that, Feng Mo took the lead in leading everyone to find one or two cassavas, and took some time to dig them out successfully.
But after that, everyone's luck seemed to have run out. After walking for a long time, they didn't gain anything at all.
"It's okay. We didn't get nothing this time. Although there's no meat, the fruits and cassava we just harvested are barely enough to fill our stomachs for lunch. The remaining prey can be saved as food for dinner... Besides, our priority right now isn't to set up the hunting traps first. Otherwise, if prey passes right in front of us, we might not be able to catch it."
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was a little low, Qin Zian spoke up to comfort them. It must be said that Qin Zian's words of comfort hit the nail on the head. It is right to set the hunting trap now. After all, it takes time to wait for the prey to enter the trap. In this way, the sooner the trap is set, the better.
What's more, even if they didn't harvest anything in the forest today, they could still get food from the sea. They were on an island! An island! And where did the island's most abundant food resources come from? Of course, it was from the sea.
Thinking of this, everyone's spirits became excited again. They followed Lin Yuanyuan and Feng Mo, two veteran survivalists, to learn how to set hunting traps. They also explained several hunting methods, including hunting pheasants and other edible birds with nets, and the most primitive method of digging traps.
After just one round of learning, the new survivalists learned a lot of hunting methods in one breath. After a while, they helped to set up the traps. Even Su Yan found these traps quite interesting and couldn't help but learn to play with them.
She felt that these hunting traps were much more advanced and better than those she had used during the Great Sheng Dynasty. The chances of successful hunting were also much greater. Unlike before, she didn't have to practice hard to improve the strength and accuracy of her bow and arrow in order to hunt good prey.
The situation on Qin Zian's side was similar. As the crown prince of the previous dynasty, riding and archery lessons were compulsory. During royal hunting, his archery accuracy was the most outstanding among many princes.
But if you really compare Qin Zi'an and Su Yan's archery skills, there is still a slight difference. Perhaps their accuracy in archery is similar, but their strength and momentum are completely different. Especially later on, the bow and arrow in Su Yan's hand, which was originally practiced for hunting, has long since become a bow and arrow that can kill people, while Qin Zi'an's is more about skills and fancy.
But to a certain extent, it is enough. Just like the pheasant last night, Qin Zian injured the pheasant with a small stone, which gave him the opportunity to hunt it.
If hunting traps are set up now, the success rate of hunting should be greatly improved.
It took about two hours, and everyone finally set up all the traps they could think of. All that was left was to wait, and wait for them to come back from sea fishing and come over to see if they had caught anything.
"Then let's get something to eat now. It's almost two o'clock now. After we finish eating, it will be time to go fishing at the beach. By then, the sun won't be so strong."
Feng Mo made this suggestion, but since everyone was already feeling hungry, it was of course meaningless, so they immediately nodded and took action quickly.
To prevent forest fires, tidy up the surrounding dead grass.
Those who pick up dead branches for making fire, go pick up dead branches.
The remaining people found a spot of shade under a tree and sat down to rest while peeling cassava.
Not long after, the fire was lit quickly, and this time it was Han Tiantian who lit the fire. It had to be a success. Su Yan's teaching results yesterday were very good. Basically, as long as the weather and environment were not particularly bad, Han Tiantian could light the fire smoothly.
Feng Mo and Lin Yuanyuan were both surprised by this. They knew yesterday that someone had lit the fire in advance, but because they didn't see it with their own eyes, they thought they had spent a long time to make the fire. They never expected that the fire was made so skillfully. Moreover, the fire-starter, Han Tiantian, was a complete novice in survival. How could he make the fire so easily?
You know, in their last season, it took them more than two hours to get the fire started. Everyone tried but still failed. It was only in the end that they mastered the trick and started to become proficient.
This is actually the reason why the newcomers were not assigned the task of making a fire yesterday. Lin Yuanyuan originally planned to help make a fire after she came back. However, when she came back, the ingredients, fire and everything were already prepared, so she forgot about it all of a sudden.
That's why they were so surprised when they saw Han Tiantian successfully start a fire so easily. They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Amazing, Tiantian, you actually started a fire in no time. Even us veterans might not be able to do that."
Han Tiantian was certainly pleased by the praise, but at the same time, she felt a bit embarrassed. She smiled and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, it's still Sister Su Yan who taught me well. If it weren't for Sister Su Yan's teaching, I wouldn't be so good. Even when we cleaned up the camp yesterday, it was Sister Su Yan who took the lead, and Su Ran and I followed behind."
What was Han Tiantian talking about? Was she saying that she was so good at making fire because Su Yan taught her? Even the tidy campsite yesterday was all because of Su Yan...?
Almost subconsciously, except for Han Tiantian and Su Ran, and Qin Zian who was a little aware of it, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. They all turned their heads in unison, and their eyes fell on Su Yan, who was sitting at the edge, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Su Yan, who just wanted to sit aside and watch the show, but was caught in the crossfire for no reason: "..."
