Chapter 70 Finding a Little Baby 38 - Everyone's Efforts



Huihui made a cheering gesture: "Dad, you can do it!"

Dad: "You stay in the tent by yourself today and don't wander off. Mom and I are going to find something to eat."

Grey Grey: "I want to go with you guys."

Gray Gray's Mom: "Then let's go together. It's not safe for one person to stay alone."

Jiajia's parents discussed, "We need to go to the forest too. Let's leave the fishing nets there; it would be terrible if we ran out of fish."

Jiajia's mom: "Okay, let's go then."

The atmosphere at Xuanxuan's home is currently at its lowest point.

Xuan's father: "We can't just sit here and wait to die. You and I will keep Xuan in the tent, otherwise we'll have to pack up and go home tomorrow."

Xuan's mother: "Okay."

As usual, the village chief pushed his cart over and said, "Choose carefully, this could affect your points."

Today, Xuan's father set his sights on freeze-dried beef rice, something he had never tried before. They needed to make sure they had something to eat before they could go out.

The universe chose water.

Jiajia's dad took the steamed bun and decided to eat it with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.

With the experience he gained yesterday, Gray Gray's dad was even more confident today, and he chose an essential item—a bucket of water.

The Tata family had fewer doubts; their current points were enough for them to do whatever they wanted, so they put Tata first.

"Tata, what do you want to eat?"

Tata said very sensibly, "I'm fine with anything, Mom, you choose."

Wen Xi: "It's okay, Tata, we have a lot of points, we're already in first place. Listen, is there anything you want to eat? Steamed buns, sweet potatoes, instant noodles, toast, freeze-dried beef rice..."

Tata thought they hadn't eaten in a long time: "Freeze-dried beef rice."

Gu Ye: "Okay, then let's choose this one."

After the village chief finished speaking, the Grey family embarked on a journey to find food, and along the way, Lady Luck smiled upon them.

They not only found a treasure and earned fifty points, but also discovered the ducks' habitat.

Grey Grey's mom and dad used a tattered fishing net they found to block the ducks' path at both ends and tied them up one by one with rope. Although a few escaped, the number was still considerable, and they caught a total of six.

Fortunately, ducks are social animals, and before noon, they decided to go back for a hearty meal and a nap before engaging in their afternoon activities.

They returned to their campsite, but no one was there. They settled their scores with the village chief and earned 80 points that morning. They redeemed these points for freeze-dried beef rice and ate their fill.

The Tata family had already crossed the forest and reached another beach that no one knew about, which was also their old friend. Because everyone seemed to lack a bit of courage, no one else had discovered it yet.

They wanted to catch more fish, so they exchanged for a fishing net before coming. They set up the net, put down the bait, and left to wait for the afternoon's inspection.

The big yellow dog from before has now become their main force. This time, although they didn't have the same luck as before in finding the treasure.

However, led by the big yellow dog, they discovered the chickens' nest, suggesting that the production team had set up multiple pheasant sheds in the forest.

They found one of them.

There were more than a dozen chickens in there.

Tata: "So many!"

"How to bring it back is a problem."

"Tethering or pulling their feet?"

"Let's take them back in batches; I don't think we can carry them all at once."

Gu Ye: "You have six, I have eight, and Tata can still take two."

Wen Xi nodded: "Okay."

The two men began to block the entrance to the chicken coop, taking out the chickens one by one and tying them up.

When Tata got tired, she lay on the backs of the two men until the three returned to the camp. After settling accounts with the village chief, she gained 80 points, which she exchanged for instant noodles. She still had 70 points left.

Xuan's parents left Xuan in the tent.

All along the way, we heard Xuan's mother scream: "Ah, what is that?"

"There are bugs".

Xuan's father: "It's okay, what's there to be afraid of about bugs?"

Xuanma wrapped herself tightly, like a frightened bird.

After walking for more than an hour, Xuan's father said, "We found it. We were pretty lucky."

They caught six rabbits.

"Go back first, come back this afternoon."

Xuan's mother: "Are you coming again this afternoon?"

Xuan's father: "Do you want to be eliminated?"

Xuan's mother: "It's okay to be eliminated. Whoever wants to stay here can stay."

Compared to Xuanxuan's family, Jiajia's family is very united.

Jia's mom and dad cast their fishing net and took Jia to the woods.

Their luck seemed to have finally turned; they discovered two treasures, each adding 50 points, bringing their total to 100 points.

The cosmologist ventured deep into the forest, but found nothing and instead suffered greatly from the insects.

In the afternoon, Gu Yewenxi and Tata went to collect the fishing net, only to find that it wasn't very effective and only caught two fish.

They had to return the way they came before dark.

The other families were the same, only the Huihui family never gave up.

Gray Gray's Mom: "It's getting dark."

Grey's Dad: "Let's see how it goes. We have to get second place; Grey has always wanted to go on a trip." Ever since Tata's family achieved such a commanding lead in points, they've set their sights on second place.

Gray Gray's Mom: "Gray Gray, let's hang in there a little longer."

Grey Grey: "Okay, I'm not afraid."

As the three walked forward, they encountered Gu Ye and his two companions who were returning. Seeing the three continuing to walk forward, they kindly offered a reminder.

Gu Ye: "There's a surprise ahead, but it's getting dark. If you plan to continue, please be careful."

Gray Gray's Dad: "Okay, thanks bro, let's take another look."

Sure enough, they soon discovered the surprise Gu Ye had mentioned: a new beach, many coconut trees, and even machetes made by Gu Ye and his friends.

Gray Gray's mom almost cried with joy: "This feels so good. Maybe they were too lazy to take it back, but they really helped us a lot."

Before it got dark, even though a coconut only cost two points, it became a lifeline.

They took off their coats and wrapped the coconuts inside. Gray Gray's dad tirelessly cut them; the whole coconut grove was truly a treasure.

Grey Grey: "Wow, so many coconuts!"

The sun slowly set.

The Grey family hurriedly left.

"Grey hugged her father's neck tightly."

Grey Grey: "Yes."

We finally returned to our campsite before the sun completely set.

They threw down their heavy packages and took a breath.

Village Chief: "A total of 22 coconuts, 44 points."

Grey Grey's Dad: "Exchange for beef rice."

On the morning of the fourth day.

Wen Xi was woken up from her sleep by Gu Ye.

"Xixi, let's go outside to watch the sunrise."

Wen Xi, who was still half asleep, was pulled up by Gu Ye.

The beauty of sunrise surpasses everything in the world, including desire, suffering, and weariness...

People are always trapped in the helplessness and suffering of life, but they forget that the universe has given us the most beautiful things that we can see without spending money.

Facing the sunrise, Gu Ye made a wish: "I hope that we can watch many, many sunrises together in the future."
