The next day, after packing up the tents, the production crew continued their journey.
Little Ruanruan originally thought that after yesterday's experience, her older sister would give up her metal detector.
But to my surprise, my sister was just as enthusiastic as she was yesterday, exploring and discovering as she went.
However, the others weren't as energetic as Susie.
When we first entered the desert yesterday, everyone was still very curious and excited, but the unchanging scenery in the vast desert can easily make people tired.
The children all looked a little listless at this point.
Her soft, jelly-like pink lips were pressed tightly into a line, her little face puffed out with a determined look, and she took small steps forward one by one.
As they ventured deeper into the desert, they ran out of water, while the sun still shone brightly in the sky.
Ms. Belle has already asked them to control their water intake.
The little ones are naturally moist, and once they lose water, their lips, which are originally like jelly, quickly develop a layer of white skin.
Moreover, resources are scarce in the desert, unlike on islands where plants and animals are abundant and you can easily find something to eat to avoid going hungry.
But here...
The viewers in front of the screen were also deeply concerned.
[When Fatty Xing said that the pirates crossing the thorny thicket was just a preview of the show, an appetizer, I thought he was just saying that to promote the show.]
Looking at it now... sigh...
[The production team really didn't give them anything! No food, and they even had to conserve water. My heart aches for my daughter; her lips are cracked!]
The production team doesn't need to be so serious. The guests are all children. Ruan Ruan and Jia Jia are only four years old, and the oldest, Kang Kang, is only eight. How can you be so heartless?
Are you devils?
[Production crew, you're secretly feeding and giving the kids food and drinks, aren't you? We're all blind, we can't see!]
The person upstairs is ruthless!
[One person wrote a petition in blood for the production team to quickly provide water and food for the children!]
...
Director Xing was actually a little anxious at this point. Although he wanted to make the show more interesting, he was more afraid that something might happen to the children.
He wobbled along, wiping his sweat, and ran back to Bell several times. "Mr. Bell, how much longer do you think it will take us to find water and food?"
Bell looked at the sky and then at the desert. Before he could speak, Little Softie tugged at Director Xing's sleeve. "Uncle Xing, don't worry, we'll find water and food soon. We can hold on."
With Xiao Ruanruan taking the lead, the other children followed suit.
Kang Kang: "Yes, we can persevere."
Jiajia and Guoguo: "We can too."
Little Qingzai put his hands on his hips, turned his little face to the side with a proud look: "Brave Qingzai, not afraid of difficulties! It's just a desert, Qingzai isn't afraid at all!"
Sisi looked at Director Xing with a bossy demeanor: "Uncle Xing, you've come to ask Teacher Bear so many times, are you trying to say that if we can't hold on, the production team will give us food and drinks?"
Don't forget, this program is live. What you advertised is different from the actual program content. This is not only deceiving the audience, but also looking down on us children.
"Splash, splash..."
As soon as Susie finished speaking, the sound of flowing water suddenly came.
Guoguo's eyes lit up, "There's water!"
As she spoke, she shuffled her little feet toward the direction from which the sound came, but Ruan Ruan quickly grabbed her, "Guoguo, don't go!"
Susie's eyes lit up, then she frowned. "It's not water, it's a rattlesnake."
After returning from the island, when the production team informed them that their next destination was the desert, she and Xiao Ruanruan looked up some basic facts about deserts.
Rattlesnakes use their tails to mimic the sound of flowing water, attracting thirsty animals to drink, thus turning those animals into their meal.
Susie took out the scalpel Xiao Yiyi had given her. "Although we don't have water, we do have food!"
When Director Xing heard the words "rattlesnake," large beads of sweat, whether from cold or heat, poured from his forehead.
Despite its plump body, it was surprisingly agile and pulled Su Xixi back from attacking the rattlesnake. "Xixi, don't go! Rattlesnakes are poisonous, extremely poisonous!"
Su Xixi's eyes gleamed with intense excitement as she shouted anxiously, "Uncle Xing, let me go right now! That snake is about to escape!"
Director Xing dared not let her go. Bell stepped forward and grabbed the snake by the neck. No one could see how his hand moved, but the snake was limp in his hand.
Director Xing then released Su Xixi.
Susie looked at Director Xing with a hint of helplessness: "Uncle Xing, this is a wilderness survival program, right?"
"right!"
"We agreed before that we would rely on our own abilities to survive, and we wouldn't need Mr. Bell's help unless there were special circumstances, right?"
"right!"
"Then what about you stopping me just now, forcing Teacher Bell to take action?"
Director Xing: ...
Susie patted Director Xing's forearm and continued to earnestly advise, "Uncle Xing, when we make programs, we must maintain our original intentions and not be easily changed by external factors. Only in this way can the programs be wonderful and worthy of the audience, right?"
Director Xing was left feeling embarrassed after being lectured. Although Su Xixi was telling the truth, and although he really wanted to stick to his original intentions and be serious with these kids.
But……
Several bigwigs from the Su family are watching on the screen; he really, really can't afford to offend them!
Just then, a "rustling" sound came from the sand.
Susie's attention was instantly diverted, and her sharp gaze was immediately turned toward the direction from which the sound came.
A huge black scorpion crawled across the sand dune.
This time, before the agile Fatty Xing could even make a move, Su Xixi's scalpel had already pierced through the scorpion's back.
Susie picked up the scalpel, staring at the scorpion whose tail was still wagging. "Little brat, where do you think you're going to run now!"
Turning her head, she said to the others with great enthusiasm, "If we catch a few more, we can add another dish to our meal."
Jiajia asked Ruanruan softly, "Are we really going to eat snakes and scorpions?"
Little Softie nodded. "If we can't find any other food, eating snakes and scorpions is a good option. They are actually rich in protein, which can replenish our energy."
Jiajia lowered her head. "But I still don't want to eat scorpions."
Guoguo chimed in softly, "I don't want to either."
"Let's walk a little further and see if we can find other food!" Ruan Ruan glanced at the desert ahead.
Everywhere is yellow sand and rolling sand dunes. The green vegetation that they could often see yesterday is now almost nowhere to be seen.
This proves that the deeper you go into the desert, the less groundwater there is, and the fewer plants that can survive there.
