We must believe that people can always unleash their greatest potential in the face of crisis.
At that moment, various crisis management methods suddenly flashed through Yu Yu's mind, such as Sister Hong's repeated lessons, the methods of successful artists taught by Mr. Gu, and how many well-known public figures would deal with earth-shaking crises.
For example...playing innocent?
To be honest, Yu Yu never thought that she would fall to this point. This was not at all what she was good at, but at this moment, her potential was unleashed.
Amidst the silence and stagnation, the delicate-looking girl's face flushed red, and she looked bewildered. Her dark eyes were watery, and she looked as if she was about to burst out tears. She opened her mouth several times, took a few deep breaths, and seemed to have mustered a great deal of courage to utter those few syllables:
"Well, I don't know what's going on. Those fish... suddenly became like this. Maybe they heard my wish to fish and not go hungry, but now, now, I feel a little scared..."
Wow… wow! When did this girl learn this trick, acting all spoiled and innocent? But this level… is too poor. You can tell it's fake at first glance.
Looking at Yu Yu with a blushing face and watery eyes in the camera, Zhang Meng couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Although the girl looked very attractive and beautiful, but what kind of people were there at the scene? Not to mention his uncle Director Zhang, the shrewd old fox, there were two best actor and actress winners at the scene. How could the girl, with such poor acting skills, hide it?
Well, considering that this girl usually gives him a lot of special favors, he will do her a favor and say a few good words to avoid embarrassing the girl.
Zhang Meng was about to say something as he thought about it. However, before he could say anything, he turned around and saw the two actors and actresses with superb acting skills. They quickly waved their hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Yu Yu, this isn't your fault. This might be because of the different live bait. Maybe your bait is more attractive to fish, so there are so many fish all at once."
“???”
Zhang Meng: Are the live baits different?! Am I blind? I clearly saw you all using the same live bait: earthworms! Are there different types of earthworms that attract fish and those that don't?
This is not over yet. After the two best actors and actresses went blind, the remaining three members also went blind. They all responded one by one, even his uncle, who was known as an old fox, echoed:
"Well, it's not a big deal. Maybe Yu Yu has a natural physique that attracts fish. It's not surprising that some people have this trait. It's not just Yu Yu. Isn't there an artist in our country called the 'Rain God'? Maybe you, Yu Yu, are one of them. I want to see it. It's good for us too. We won't be short of food, haha. It's really a 'fish blessing'."
“???”
Zhang Meng: Uncle, are you kidding me? I don't know who told me before that the "Rain God" must have a special aura, which is why it rains almost every time he holds a concert. It's like some people are attracted to cats and dogs, but this girl's situation... it's not about having "fishing luck," right? Having "fishing luck" means you can catch good and big fish most of the time, but it doesn't mean a whole school of fish will rush over you, right?
But everyone else seemed to see it that way. Couldn't everyone be blind? Could it be that... because he was blind, he became the one? Was he the only one who thought this was abnormal?
Zhang Meng fell into deep self-doubt.
In fact, Yu Yu didn't know why everyone suddenly became blind. They were obviously shocked and confused in disbelief just a moment ago.
But after her "performance" just now, everyone seemed to naturally help her find an excuse. It might be the live bait, or the location, or the fishing technique. In the end, everyone summed up a very reasonable reason in a few words:
Yu Yu has good luck with fish and is more popular with fish, so they have no shortage of seafood along the way.
For example, when they dived offshore for hunting in the morning, schools of fish swam around them.
For example, when they were sitting in a small boat and moving in the small river on the island, large schools of fish followed behind them.
For example, other people failed, but Yu Yu caught a lot of fish in one go.
Yu Yu actually wanted to say that the last two examples might be related. After all, she recalled that her abnormality started from the moment she suddenly seemed to be able to breathe underwater, and then those fish rushed towards her like crazy.
But this has nothing to do with the phenomenon of many fish swimming around when diving near the coast in the morning. It is just because fewer people have set foot in this sea area and it has not been fished much, so the fish are not so shy. Even if it is not her, it would be the same if it were someone else.
But in this situation, Yu Yu felt deeply that it would be better for him not to say anything. He just had to maintain an innocent expression and an awkward but not rude smile.
It must be mentioned that once Yu Yu accepted such a setting, he unexpectedly found that this life did not seem to be difficult at all. On the contrary, it seemed that it was quite good?
As mentioned before, the fish are very keen on catching fish. Sometimes, Yu Yu doesn't need to do anything and just sits by the side, and the success rate of catching fish will suddenly increase a lot. Even the novices Lin Yinghou and Jiang Huan caught one or two, not to mention the harvest of others. When you add up the statistics, the harvest in this inner lake in the afternoon is much more than what was caught in the morning.
Moreover, because they caught a lot of fish, they unknowingly collected all the four species specified in the inner lake. Together with the jumping frogs they encountered before, there were two other specified plants, which added up to seven species. From having nothing on the first day to having everything on the second day, what else could they be dissatisfied with?
And it's only the second day now, and there are still two days until the fourth day. In just two days, can't they find the remaining three designated species?
Because of this, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely joyful and relaxed. Later, because they couldn't bring back so many live fish, Queen Lin suggested that they prioritize processing some of them on the spot, and make them into dried fish after cleaning. Although there is a lot of rain in this area, the sun is very strong after the rain, which is very suitable for drying fish.
Moreover, if the fish is made into dried fish, the food can be preserved for a longer period of time and can be kept for future use, without having to spend a lot of time hunting every day.
This suggestion was agreed by everyone. Cleaning the fish and making it into dried fish does not require very high cooking skills. Almost everyone joined in the processing of the fish, but some of the fish turned out to look uglier.
Besides the fact that Yu Yu felt good about it, the most important thing was that she suddenly realized: if she could attract fish like she did now after returning, wouldn't that mean she could catch a lot of fish without spending any money? For example, she could just pay the price of renting fishing gear and catch several baskets of fish, the kind that would jump into her basket on their own.
Does that mean she can eat as much as she wants without spending any money? Or her favorite seafood?
With this association, Yu Yu felt so happy that he was about to bubble up. Suddenly, he felt that those crazy fish were not so scary. They were all meat and seafood. It was just a little strange that they could breathe underwater. It was just a little scary if one or two scales fell off suddenly. It didn’t matter. Compared with the happy days with full stomachs in the future, it was nothing!
Yu Yu, who had completely let go of his worries, was in an exceptionally good mood and even couldn't help humming an unknown little tune. His men quickly processed the fish that they were going to make into dried fish. When it was almost dark, the group returned to the camp and began to divide the work to prepare their dinner.
This time, the fish caught were all freshwater fish that everyone is used to eating, and the utensils and seasonings traded with the program team were quite rich, so there seemed to be a lot of dishes to choose from. For this, the members argued fiercely, and finally decided on a few dishes that everyone could accept.
The first is grilled fish. Everyone agrees that grilled food is the most popular in the jungle. They will pick out the most tender and fat, but not too big fish and grill them.
The second one is chopped pepper fish head, which is the favorite of actress Lin. Of course, chopped pepper fish head requires the head of a big fish. The freshwater fish they caught are not suitable for this dish. It was actor Gu and actor Bo who took turns to negotiate with the program team. Finally, they successfully reached a negotiation with the program team, exchanging two freshwater fish for a big fish head.
After a while, the program team exchanged four big fish heads. It seemed that the program team asked the locals to exchange them with the nearby primitive tribe. When they came back, they also brought some chili peppers and rice.
Now that they have rice, the third dish is of course warm porridge. Yang Yang and Jiang Huan will also go to the beach to pick up some shrimps and crabs, and add some tender fish fillets to make a pot of thick seafood porridge.
The last dish is fried fish bones. Yu Yu made this dish on a whim. She planned to loosen the knife a little when removing the fish meat, slice the fish meat and cook it into porridge for later use. As for the fish bones stuck to the fish meat, she cut them into several pieces, spread salt on them and marinated them. When the other dishes were almost finished, she could fry them and eat them as snacks, so as not to waste so many fish bones.
Yu Yu is quick with his hands and knife, and the dishes he made this time were all very simple. When the skin of the grilled fish was almost browned, it made a wonderful sizzling sound. On the other side, the seafood porridge with a few small shrimps and crabs added to the fish fillets also gurgled. What came out next was the brightest, reddest, and most eye-catching chopped pepper fish head.
The last dish to appear is the fried fish bones. The oil and fish have been heated in advance. The marinated and chopped fish bones are directly thrown into the hot oil. When they look cooked, they are picked up and left to cool on the side.
Because it didn't take a long time to fry, the fish bones and meat were fried just right. The fish meat stuck on top did not lose its sweetness and softness, and the taste was no worse than the grilled fish.
The meal was very satisfying, especially the pot of seafood porridge, which made everyone's body feel quite warm. After eating, we fell into an unusually comfortable sleep at night.
Gradually, their jungle survival seemed to be on the right track. When they woke up every day, everyone could find the division of labor that suited them best. Everyone knew their position and began to pursue the quality of jungle life, such as cleaning themselves.
It was very convenient for the men to clean themselves. The water near the coast was clear and clean. They just jumped in and swam a few laps, and everything was washed clean.
It's just that the lady's bathing was a little more troublesome. She had to wait until it got dark and carefully avoid the cameras to go to the beach to wash. The program crew was also tactful and knew when to follow her and when not to. Therefore, Queen Lin's bath was not bad. She felt a lot more refreshed after coming back from the bath.
However, this time, no matter how Queen Lin invited him, Yu Yu would never take a step closer to the sea, using the excuse that his health had not been very good recently and he did not really want to go into the water.
Even in recent days, Yu Yu would just stroll around the inner lake at most and did not go into the water again. Near-shore diving and hunting were almost all done by Gu Yingdi and Bo Tianwang.
Not only that, when Yu Yu was cleaning her body, she would deliberately avoid everyone, including Lin Yinghou, because she would pay special attention to the area behind her ears and the back of her neck, and would only breathe a sigh of relief when she found that she no longer touched any strange gills or any strange scales.
Perhaps they had been living too happily these days, so when the fourth day of survival came, they suddenly remembered a very important thing: they had not collected at least ten specified species within four days.
"Um...how many species have we collected so far?"
"There are only eight, two more missing."
In other words, after they collected seven species on the second day, they only collected one species in the next two days. Looking at the malicious smile on Director Zhang's face, they knew that they would probably be punished this time.
According to the rules of the game at their second survival station, they must find at least ten species in the first four days. If they fail to do so, some of them will be sent to the small isolated island next door to survive alone for one night.
"Okay, let's draw lots. Each lot will have a number on it. The one who draws the first number will be the first to be sent to the island."
Seeing Director Zhang squinting his eyes and taking out the signature box that had been prepared long ago, the members could do nothing even if they gritted their teeth. After all, they still had to abide by the rules of the show. It was all their fault for being too idle and forgetting about this matter.
However, spending a night on the small isolated island should not be a big problem. They have dried fish. Even if they can't find food on the small isolated island, they can make a fire and roast the dried fish to get through the night.
With this in mind, everyone felt less stressed, and the results of the draw came out quickly. Yu Yu's lot had "2" written on it, meaning she was the second one, and the one who drew the first one was unexpectedly the youngest, Yang Yang.
"Yang Yang, it's okay for you to go alone, right? How about I take your place? I got the second one anyway."
Yu Yu couldn't help but suggest this, but Yang Yang refuted it without thinking, patting his chest and promising:
"It's okay, Sister Xiaoyu. I'm not that weak. I'm just going to stay on the neighboring island for one night. During this time, you should quickly collect the designated species."
Seeing that Yang Yang had made up his mind, the other members could not say anything more. They could only help to stuff the necessary equipment to Yang Yang, such as thick cold-proof clothes, several dried fish, flints necessary for starting a fire, etc. When they could not put in any more, they watched the program crew send Yang Yang and his cameraman farther and farther away, heading towards another small isolated island quite a distance away.
After one night, unfortunately, they still failed to find all ten designated species. They only found one more designated plant, but they couldn't find the others.
Moreover, this was the first time for the members to separate, especially Queen Lin, who had been feeling restless since Yang Yang left.
"Hey, you guys think Yang Yang will be alright. How long will he stay on that isolated island before he can come back?"
"It shouldn't be a problem, but I heard we can't leave the small isolated island over there until after noon."
"It's noon, why don't we heat up some soup? This small island has no houses to block the wind, so it must be very cold. Xiaoyu, come and help." The answer from Mr. Gu made Ms. Lin feel a little relieved, but she couldn't sit still, so she pulled Yu Yu and wanted to make the hot soup first.
However, at this moment, the boat that was said to pick up Yang Yang would not return until noon, suddenly appeared in their sight.
This sudden change not only alarmed Yu Yu and his team, but also Director Zhang and his team of directors. After all, according to the rules, it would not be completed until at least noon.
Moreover, this is not the point. The point is that Yang Yang on the boat did not look right. He looked a little unnaturally pale and his original vitality was gone, as if he was frightened by something. On the contrary, the cameraman following behind Yang Yang had a look of worry and confusion on his face. When asked by Director Zhang, he could not give any answer.
"Did something happen?"
"I don't know the exact circumstances. Everyone was fine, and I was filming normally. Late at night, Yang Yang went to the bathroom, and I wasn't following him. Then, he suddenly started yelling, as if he'd encountered something terrifying. But... when I chased after him with my flashlight and camera, I didn't see anything."
"Are you sure you didn't see anything?"
"I'm pretty sure. I was also afraid there might be some strange creatures out there, so I stayed up all night and kept watch. When daybreak was about to break, I searched everywhere but didn't see anything unusual. But Yang Yang's condition didn't look good, so I decided to bring him back first. I'm afraid he was frightened and didn't recover."
Situations like this have indeed happened. Sometimes people are so frightened that they cannot recover immediately and it may take a long time to recover.
Just in case, Director Zhang asked the program staff and the two locals to go to the small isolated island for investigation again, but after coming back, they shook their heads and said that they did not find anything unusual.
It was inferred that Yang Yang was most likely frightened by the strangely shaped reefs over there. The lights at night might have projected some strange shadows, and there were mostly eroded caves over there, which made some strange noises when the wind blew.
Should this punishment continue? After a long period of deliberation, Director Zhang decided to continue filming as planned. According to the plan, Yu Yu would be the second person to be sent to the small isolated island. In the past, they would arrange for more people to be ready to meet him at any time, but there would still only be one cameraman on the small isolated island.
Director Zhang looked around his team and finally set his sights on his nephew. He said, "Zhang Meng, how about you come over? You and Yu Yu have a pretty good compatibility."
In fact, if Zhang Meng didn't want to, he could have refused Director Zhang's request. After all, he was sent here by his father to make a living and was not a serious staff member of the program crew.
But he looked at Yu Yu... thought about it, and nodded in agreement. However, when he agreed, Zhang Meng narrowed his eyes slightly and made a "money" gesture to his uncle that everyone understood. Director Zhang was both angry and amused. In the end, he said that as long as everything could be completed smoothly, there was no problem with giving him a big red envelope afterwards.
The filming continues.
Yu Yu did not set off for the small isolated island immediately. Instead, he accompanied Yang Yang to finish the bowl of hot soup. Seeing that his complexion had become a little better, he talked for a while and then got up to pack up.
Yu Yu didn't have to pack much. She always believed in traveling light, and she was only staying for one night, so a small knife, a coat, a flint, and a few dried fish were enough. After saying goodbye to the program crew, she prepared to board the boat to the small isolated island.
However, just when Yu Yu was about to get on the boat, someone grabbed his clothes. When he looked back, he saw Yang Yang, who had gotten up at some point. His face looked a little strange, and he wanted to say something but couldn't. After a while, he took a deep breath and murmured softly:
"Sister Xiaoyu, you have to be careful. I don't know what scared me. They said it was a strange shadow reflected by the fire on the reef... Yes, I did see a strange shadow, but I didn't see the real thing. But the shadow seemed alive, it was moving, and it seemed to have many claws... like... an octopus..."
Eight... octopuses? What the hell is that? Could it be an octopus? How could that be possible? There were indeed some random reports recently about a giant octopus appearing in the western seas, but it was clarified that it was just a few drunk fishermen who saw something dazed. There was no giant octopus at all, and the fishing boat in question was illegally fishing and had long been apprehended.
Yu Yu firmly believed that this was impossible, and comforted Yang Yang that it might really be his eyesight that was affected by the news, but for some reason, a not-so-good premonition lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be dispelled.
