Chapter 148 The Treasure Hunt Continues!
Xu Wang slyly waved the badge in his hand at Pei Yanchuan, who had released the stone. The badge didn't look very big, but it was very finely crafted and weighed about 2g.
[！！！]
[Yunxi, Jiang Xiubai, you two, turn around quickly!]
[Oh no! Those two just missed out on a gold badge like that? (laughing and crying at the same time)]
[Yunxi: My heart aches so much, I feel like I missed out on a fortune.]
[I can't take it anymore; these two have done all the work for someone else.]
[The beagle proudly raises its head: Do I still look scary to you now?]
………………
Unlike Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan, who were filled with joy, the two who had just run away were standing by the willow tree in the village, trying to calm their frightened hearts.
"Phew~ That scared me to death." Yunxi had been bitten by dogs three times since he was a child, and they were all small dogs. This made him very afraid of dogs since he was a child.
Jiang Xiubai was panting heavily; the weighted running had exhausted him.
The viewers and fans in the live stream looked at the two who looked like they had just escaped a disaster, and the screen was filled with regret.
[You two have no idea what you just missed; if you did, you wouldn't be so happy.]
[That was the golden badge, so close, just one step away.]
I feel sorry for them both.
[Isn't this just like winning the lottery? It's not that you're afraid of not winning, it's that you're afraid of winning and then not realizing it's expired.]
[Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling (nods frantically).]
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai had no idea that a large group of people were feeling sorry for them. Just as the two were about to continue their search for the treasure, Yunxi's phone suddenly vibrated.
Yunxi took out her phone and saw that the assistant director had sent her two messages.
Assistant Director: Six badges, one of which has been successfully found.
The assistant director sent me a picture with six patterns. One of the patterns, which looked like some kind of animal, had a big checkmark next to it and the words "found".
Yunxi zoomed in on the image in shock: "No way, they found this? What on earth does this pattern depict? I don't understand."
"Whose brain is on the same wavelength as the director's? That's amazing!" Jiang Xiubai exclaimed in amazement upon seeing this information.
[You two delivered it yourselves, how about that? Surprised? Unexpected?]
[Yunxi/Jiang Xiubai: This is such a wonderful surprise! I'm so surprised I could cry.]
[The two of them had turned over so many stones along the way, and they were just one step away from the finish line, but then they just flew away like that (facepalm)]
[Hearing them say that now, I feel like laughing, what should I do? Hahahaha.]
[What should I do? I'm suddenly looking forward to seeing their expressions when they find out the truth. I think it'll be hilarious.]
[How could you think that way? But you're so naughty, I love it~]
[Hahaha, I can't wait!]
On the other side, in the dense forest, Qin Huai and Gu Yunlan walked under the cool shade of the trees.
The forest was vast, and Gu Yunlan looked left and right but couldn't find a trace of a treasure chest.
Gu Yunlan leaned against a big tree and pondered for a while before suddenly turning to look at his wife behind him: "Wife, do you think we came to the wrong place...?"
"Don't move!" Qin Huai walked slowly behind Gu Yunlan. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the big tree Gu Yunlan was leaning against and the one next to it. Qin Huai stretched out his hand and gestured lightly. The two trees seemed to be parallel.
When Gu Yunlan heard his wife's instructions, he subconsciously straightened up, placed his hands tightly against the seams of his trousers, and stood ramrod straight.
"Honey, is it okay now?" Gu Yunlan's eyes darted around gently.
"That's enough." Qin Huai stood there with his arms crossed.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" After receiving a clear answer, Gu Yunlan immediately turned around and ran to Qin Huai's side, asking with a smile.
"Hmm, look at that tree." Qin Huai pointed to the large tree that Gu Yunlan had just leaned against.
Gu Yunlan squinted and observed for a long time but couldn't figure out anything. Wasn't this just an ordinary big tree? There was nothing strange about it, except that it was a little bigger.
Qin Huai looked at the head that had suddenly blocked his way and felt a slight itch in his right hand: "I was talking about it and the tree next to it. Didn't you notice that they seem to be the only two parallel trees in this grove?"
Gu Yunlan heard Qin Huai's words and looked at them carefully. It was indeed the case. The positions of the other trees were almost all staggered, but the positions of these two trees were parallel.
Gu Yunlan thought of a certain pattern, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He turned to look at his wife behind him, the answer almost escaping his lips: Could it be…?
Qin Huai nodded; the golden badge should be hidden around those two trees.
[The director really did draw two trees!!!]
[I'm speechless. Director, with drawing skills like yours, you wouldn't win a single point in a charades game.]
[Help! I feel like my 4-year-old nephew draws better than the director.]
[Can I say I also thought they were two telephone poles? (covers face)]
[Speaking of which, the way Gu Yingdi stood up straight just now really reminded me of how I looked during military training in college—wanting to move but afraid to.]
[After all, my sister-in-law spoke up herself (covers her mouth and chuckles).]
[Actor Gu: I dare not move, I dare not move at all.]
………………
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai walked around the two trees and carefully observed the ground nearby.
Sure enough, Qin Huai found a small patch of ground around one of the trees that appeared to have been turned over.
"Gu Yunlan, over here." Qin Huai waved to Gu Yunlan with his back to her.
"They're here." Gu Yunlan ran to Qin Huai's side and looked at the ground in front of her with curiosity.
The two picked up small twigs from the ground and began digging in the soil in front of them. The treasure chest wasn't buried very deep; they could see the top of the golden treasure chest as soon as they dug away the thin layer of soil on top.
As the soil was continuously dug up, Qin Huai finally took out the golden treasure chest that had been buried inside.
Qin Huai opened the treasure chest, and inside, in the middle of a dark green velvet lining, lay a small tree-shaped gold badge.
After the assistant director saw that the two had found the badge, he sent the message to the phones of each treasure hunt guest again.
Xia Yu looked at the progress on her phone with a worried expression. How come they found two so quickly?
Hou Yunqi stared at a picture on his phone, lost in thought. He felt as if he had encountered it somewhere before.
"Old Hou, Old Hou? What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Xia Yu waved vigorously in front of Hou Yunqi's eyes.
"I'm wondering if I've seen this picture somewhere before," Hou Yunqi said, pointing to the image of two interconnected cylinders on Xia Yu's phone.
"Really? You saw it?" Xia Yu excitedly hugged Hou Yunqi's arm.
"Where is it? Where is it? Let's hurry over there now." Xia Yu pulled Hou Yunqi and started to run forward.
But Hou Yunqi reached out and grabbed him.
Xia Yu looked up in confusion. What's wrong?
"It's not over there, it's over there." Hou Yunqi looked at Xia Yu's bewildered expression, couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his dark hair, then pointed in the opposite direction.
"Sorry, I got a little too excited. Here comes the badge, let's go! Go! Go!"
