Chapter 223 Battle in the Mud (2)
Seeing that the guests' questions were getting more and more off-topic, the director quickly cleared his throat to interrupt them: "Ahem, teachers, please rest assured that everything in the mobile shop provided by the production team is free. During the time allotted to each group of teachers, you can go in and take whatever you want, but how much you take depends on your individual abilities."
Upon hearing the director's words, Xu Wang and the others looked at him in disbelief. What kind of day was it? Had the sun risen in the west or set in the east? The director was actually using the word "free."
Xu Wang and the others stared at him in shock, remaining silent for a long time.
The director, annoyed and embarrassed by the looks in the eyes of the people in front of him, said, "Seriously, what kind of looks are those? Can't I be a little more magnanimous in your eyes just this once?"
"Can you?" Xu Wang's three words were an instant kill.
The director looked exasperated.
"Director, are you sure? There are cameras filming here." Gu Yunlan pointed to the dark camera lens, indicating to the director not to speak too confidently.
“Yeah, director, if you charge us afterwards, we won’t pay you. We’ll be left with neither money nor our lives.” Yunxi looked at the director suspiciously.
"Of course, I've already said it, and I absolutely won't go back on my word. You can all rest assured!" The director looked at the distrustful eyes and questions of the group, and was practically swearing an oath on the spot in front of them.
The viewers in the live stream were also surprised to hear the director's words; the miser had actually plucked feathers again.
"Alright, I've roughly explained the rules. Teachers, you can go down into the mud pit to get used to it beforehand. The competition will officially begin in 5 minutes." The director looked at the mud pit not far away and revealed his signature dangerous smile.
Xu Wang had played in mud pits a lot when he was a child, so he was not resistant to this. He walked to the edge of the mud pit and jumped in.
Xu Wang found it somewhat amusing to step on the soft, muddy ground.
Pei Yanchuan, with his exceptional execution skills, followed suit and jumped down, standing steadily beside Xu Wang.
As soon as the two of them stepped down, dark brown mud splashed onto their trouser legs.
Qin Huai braced himself on the edge of the mud pit with both hands, and with a light jump, he landed steadily in the mud. The mud in the mud pit was quite thick, and as Qin Huai landed, his calves sank in halfway.
After Qin Huai steadied himself, he looked up at Gu Yunlan, who was still searching for a cool jumping position on the shore: "Come down."
"Wait a minute, honey, let me find a better angle, then I'll give you a live demonstration of 'Great Roc Spreading Its Wings'." Gu Yunlan moved around in small steps, trying to find the perfect starting position.
However, before he could find a satisfactory starting position, an accident happened the next second. Because Gu Yunlan was a little too far forward, and the edge of the mud pit was very slippery and wet, Gu Yunlan was not paying attention and slid down the edge of the mud pit.
Gu Yunlan slid down in a direction that was not far from Xu Wang. Xu Wang was about to dodge when he saw this, but the large hand on his waist moved faster than he could react.
Pei Yanchuan picked up the person in front of him and carried him away from the mud pit accident site.
Before Gu Yunlan could even react to this sudden situation, he only had time to shout before he lay down in front of his wife in the mud.
Qin Huai stared expressionlessly at Gu Yunlan, who was covered in dirt, and asked, "Is this what you meant by 'The Great Roc Spreads Its Wings'?"
Gu Yunlan struggled to climb out of the mud. At this moment, only the area around his abdomen was barely clean.
Gu Yunlan stood there awkwardly, her hands covered in mud: "If I said these were all accidents, would you believe me?"
"I believe you." Qin Huai nodded.
"Wife, I knew you were the best to me. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I love you the most." Gu Yunlan was deeply moved when he saw his wife nod without hesitation.
Xu Wang was being held tightly in Pei Yanchuan's arms. He watched the scene unfold before him quietly. "Isn't this an accident in itself? What's there to believe or not believe?"
Pei Yanchuan also had the same look of confusion on his face as Xu Wang.
"I witnessed the accident with my own eyes, how can I not believe it?" Qin Huai crossed his arms and sighed deeply, his sigh revealing his profound helplessness.
[Haha, I feel like my sister-in-law is about to have a major headache.]
[There's a general feeling that the sister-in-law is taking care of a child when she's with Gu Yingdi.]
[Actor Gu suddenly appears: Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about? You're not talking about me, are you?]
[Hahahaha.]
[President Pei has amazing arm strength! He pulled his wife out of the mud and lifted her high.]
[His core strength is also good; he turned around without his lower body moving at all. (shy)]
………………
Just as Xu Wang stepped out of Pei Yanchuan's arms, another scream came from his other side.
It turned out that when Yunxi was sitting on the edge of the mud pit and slowly descending, one of his hands slipped and he slid down as well. Jiang Xiubai was behind him and saw him slide down. He instinctively tried to reach out and grab him, and although he managed to grab him, he was pulled down with him.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai slowly sat up from the mud, their faces and hair covered in mud.
Hou Yunqi happened to pass by the two of them at that moment, with Xia Yu, who was completely clean, sitting on his shoulder. The two groups became a stark contrast in the shot.
[This really shows how the difference is without comparison. (Facepalm)]
[Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai came down one after the other.]
[Old Hou's muscular arms could easily lift Yu Yu.]
The director's allotted five minutes quickly came to an end. The staff carried out four baskets and placed them behind each group of guests. Inside the baskets were freshly inflated balloons, all of them round and plump.
The color of the balloons transported by each group corresponds to the color of each group's clothing, in order to prevent guests from getting them mixed up along the way.
"During the transport process, each teacher can only transport one balloon at a time. If a balloon bursts during the process, it doesn't count. The timer will stop when there are 10 intact balloons in the empty box opposite the teachers. The shorter the time, the higher the ranking." The assistant director added the specific rules of the game.
With the director's whistle, the competition officially began.
The mud pit wasn't particularly far away, about ten meters away.
Xu Wang picked up a black balloon and walked forward. The mud pit was very slippery and the mud was very deep, so it was a little difficult to walk.
Just as Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan were walking slowly forward in rhythm, a yellow balloon covered in mud suddenly appeared in front of them.
Xu Wang turned his head in the direction the balloon had come from and saw that Yunxi, who was to their left, had fallen into the mud at some point. He was lying face down with his arms outstretched in the mud, and the balloon must have rolled over when he fell.
Jiang Xiubai helped Yunxi up.
When Yunxi stood up again, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was a little mud on his eyelashes and lips.
"Pfft!" Yunxi wiped her mouth with difficulty.
After seeing the balloon run far away, the two had to change their route, first to retrieve the balloon and then return to their original route.
Xu Wang moved the balloon in front of him to the side and continued walking forward with Pei Yanchuan. Perhaps because he had been standing still for too long, his calves were sinking quite deep. When he suddenly lifted his leg, Xu Wang couldn't pull it out of the mud all at once.
Xu Wang lost his balance and sat down on the ground while still holding the balloon.
Pei Yanchuan quickly lifted Xu Wang out of the mud.
Just as Xu Wang was picked up, a loud bang came from their right—the sound of a balloon exploding.
Xia Yu stared blankly at his empty arms, the balloon accidentally popping as he bent over to move forward.
[Haha, Yunxi is completely covered in mud from that fall.]
[His wife's sudden squat startled President Pei.]
[After the balloon popped, Yu Yu was completely stunned. (She covers her mouth and giggles)]
[I'm laughing so hard! Ever since I got into this mess, the smile on my face hasn't left my face.]
[I initially thought this game looked pretty simple, but now it seems even a single round trip is difficult, let alone requiring 10 round trips. The director has clearly made it too difficult.]
[The director smirks: Playing games with the guests—oh, no, I mean playing games—I'm serious.]
Seeing the situation of the three, Gu Yunlan stood up and smiled smugly. It seemed that he and Qin Huai had a good chance of winning first place.
Qin Huai was focused on walking forward and didn't notice that someone behind him had stopped to watch the show.
After watching for a while, Gu Yunlan turned his head and suddenly realized that he had been left far behind by his wife.
"Wife, wait for me!" Gu Yunlan hurriedly walked forward, but the mud was too slippery. He had only taken two steps when he knelt down in the mud.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Qin Huai turned around and was met with Gu Yunlan kneeling on both knees.
"..."
Not far from the mud pit, the director was sitting under the tent quietly watching the live broadcast. When he saw the guests fall down, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, hehehe..."
The assistant director shook his head helplessly as he listened to the director's rhythmic laughter.
