Chapter 11 Moral Blackmail Is Wei Wei pursuing Zhou Youlan?
"It wasn't Brother Wei who poured it out," Zhang Longtong said. "The boiling water in the pot was clearly poured out by Wang Daodao. I saw it."
Wang Daodao was called out, and finally he started to explain: "Ah, that, I poured it, but didn't everyone share it along the way..."
Zhao Guanjun was surprised. "Then where do you get your water from?"
I don’t think I saw Wei Wei fetching water yesterday. Where did he get the water?
Wei Wei: "It's common sense that bamboo can store water."
Since you are on this kind of show, don’t you do some homework in advance?
Zhao Guanjun's face was slightly embarrassed, and Wang Chunqin continued to add fuel to the fire: "Wei Wei, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you have such a method, why are you hiding it? Even if you want to win, you don't have to plan to kick us out so early, right?"
"Wei Wei doesn't mean that..." Ruan Mengmeng said in a low voice.
Wei Wei doesn't seem like that kind of person, and isn't this moral kidnapping on their part?
What obligation do others have to share proactively? They don’t owe them anything.
"What does he mean by 'not that'?" Wang Chunqin retorted. "There are only five winners in the end anyway, so we're sure to eliminate as many as we can along the way. Some people will do anything to become famous. It's not the first time we've seen that."
The atmosphere became subtle, but Wang Chunqin said something that most people felt was correct.
If Wei Wei didn't want to be famous, why would he do things like grabbing the spotlight and position on the first day of the show? If he didn't want to gain popularity for himself, why did he follow Zhou Youlan intentionally or unintentionally from the beginning of the show, obviously trying to use Zhou Youlan to create topics.
"This is the most basic survival awareness when walking in the mountains and forests. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence would not be unable to think of it." Wei Wei's expression was always calm and unperturbed. "I am not your breadwinner. Why do I have the obligation to teach you?"
"You," Wang Chunqin said, angrily, "if you are selfish, then you are selfish. Why are you pretending?"
[Wei Wei is selfish. He found the thing that holds the water but he hid it himself.]
"Don't everyone share when they team up? Why is Wei Wei hiding it? Is he really trying to win by leaving everyone else behind?"
[Please, this is a survival show where individuals compete for survival. It's their choice whether to share or not, right?]
[There's nothing wrong with wanting to win. Besides, what obligation does Wei Wei have to tell them?]
If Wei Wei was truly selfish, he wouldn't have saved Chen Nan.
[Emm, Zhao Guanjun and Wang Chunqin talking like this is a bit of moral kidnapping]
[Wow, it's only been a few days and some people are already praising the hype man, believing that appearance is justice]
Zhou Youlan suddenly said, "It's everyone else's freedom to share or not."
He was not speaking for Wei Wei. No one owed anyone anything. It was just that they had the resources right in front of them but they didn't know how to use them. There was no need to morally blackmail them.
"no"
"Alright," Zhou Youxuan interrupted them with a gloomy expression, "Maybe we can find water soon, so let's save some energy."
Although Wang Chunqin was angry, he didn't say anything more. Who would have thought that Zhou Youlan would actually protect Wei Wei.
Wei Wei handed the remaining water to Zhou Youlan, as a gesture of care and gratitude, but Zhou Youlan did not take it. Instead, he quickened it as if he could not dodge him.
Wei Wei raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't let the young master not even have water to drink. Otherwise, what would happen if Assistant Zhou used this as an excuse to deduct his wages?
"Let me do this kind of thing." The big monkey shamelessly took the water from Wei Wei's hand. "Of course, if I run errands, it's okay to change the water, right?"
Wei Wei remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.
The big monkey took it and took a big sip, which made everyone envious.
"Brother, drink a sip to quench your thirst."
Zhou Youlan refused, "Go give it to the female guests, I don't want any."
"There's still more than half a pot left, enough for everyone to have a sip."
Zhou Youguan still refused, his lips pursed into a line.
Big Monkey: "Why are you looking so grumpy?"
Zhou Youlan glanced at Wei Wei from the corner of his eye, then quickly looked away and asked in a low voice, "Is he very happy?"
“Who’s happy?”
"I just spoke up for him. He must have misunderstood something. Is he secretly happy about it?"
The big monkey turned around and saw Wei Wei's expressionless face, no different from usual.
“I can’t tell…”
Impossible, Zhou Youlan thought.
Wei Wei must have thought that he was protecting him and must have been very happy.
The big monkey said again: "But I think what you said is right. He must be secretly happy. You just spoke up for him. He might be very touched."
"It was still too hasty." Zhou Youlan said.
[…Master SRDS, I think you’re thinking too much.]
[? Is Wei Wei happy?]
Is Wei Wei pursuing Zhou Youlan? I can't tell.
[Why is Wei Wei unhappy? Before, he and Niu Xixi were targeting each other. He must like Zhou Youlan.]
[Who would have thought that I would be supporting a couple on a survival variety show?]
[Sure enough, it has developed into this. Wei Wei’s goal of riding on Zhou’s popularity has been achieved.]
…
The road ahead was even more difficult. The further they walked, the more obvious it became that the slope of the soil buried the tree roots was getting steeper and steeper. Walking upwards was more tiring, which was a further blow to their situation of not having enough food and water for several days.
Fortunately, they encountered a few wild raspberries on the way. The wild raspberries had begun to ripen this month, and Wei Wei had not seen this kind of fruit for a long time.
He stopped and picked a few, and Wang Ren happened to come over, squatted down and started picking.
Lao Gui and A Hu seemed to know that this kind of fruit was edible. They acted quickly and picked a bag of them in no time.
"Brother Wei, is this edible?" Zhang Longtong came over quickly.
Wei Wei nodded gently: "Shan Renzi, it can quench thirst."
"It quenches thirst?" Zhang Longtong turned around quickly, "Sister Lin Yue, Mengmeng, Brother Wei said this fruit can quench thirst, come pick it quickly."
Everyone was delighted and climbed up quickly. When Lao Gui saw a large group of people coming up, he moved even faster.
In a short while, all the ripe wild amarans in the area were picked up by them.
[Wow, Wei Wei knows so much. How come he is so familiar with the things in the mountains?]
Tongtong is almost becoming Wei Wei's follower.
How come Tongtong has become a village after just a few days in the mountains? I'm so amused by the shot just now. He looks like a village idiot.
Wei Wei is so powerful, the young master seems so stupid [dog head]
But fruits can never make people feel full as much as carbohydrates. At most, these fruits can only help them replenish some water. If they cannot replenish carbohydrates or protein, some of them may not be able to hold on.
Everyone's condition was obviously much worse than a few days ago. They hadn't encountered any preyable animals along the way. Apart from the wild fruits on the mountain, even water resources were scarce. They could clearly feel their body functions failing.
Before, when everyone stopped to rest, they had the energy to automatically allocate to finding water and materials for building shelters, but now they just sit down and don’t want to move at all.
But this was only the fourth day.
Wei Wei looked around. Zhang Longtong sat down next to him. He was so hungry and tired that he was already weak. "Brother Wei, sit down and rest for a while. Aren't you tired?"
"Not bad." Wei Wei said.
Zhang Longtong wanted to give him a thumbs up. Their legs were weak, but Wei Wei just felt okay. You really can't tell that he has such good physical strength.
Wei Wei squatted down and dug a hole in the ground next to Zhang Longtong with a dagger, then picked up a piece of soil and rubbed it with his fingertips.
"Are you so hungry that you want to eat dirt?"
The giant macaque also came over. Wei Wei always thought of things that they couldn't think of. He wondered if he had discovered something again.
He was hopeful: "Is this soil edible? If so, I think it's not a bad idea to try a few bites."
Wei Wei rubbed the dirt off his fingertips. "The soil here is very humid. Even with such long hours of sunlight, only the surface is dry. This proves that the rain here is better than downhill."
The two followed Wei Wei's example and scooped up some dirt on their hands to study it, but they still didn't understand. "So what does this mean?"
This means that the rainwater from the high altitude nearby did not flow down in the direction they came from, so they could not find any water source along the way.
Wei Wei added, "This is a terrain where several mountains and forests meet. If there is a stream, it will only be in another low place on the same side as the direction we came from."
The two of them opened their eyes, with a pure look in their eyes, and they were really confused when they heard it.
Wei Wei retracted the dagger and said, "If we go any further, we might encounter a river."
"Possibly? That's why we're not sure." Chen Nan was closer to them and heard Wei Wei's analysis. He sneered, "Since you're not completely sure, are you going to take us wandering around in the woods? What if we can't find it? Will we have to stay in the mountains to feed mosquitoes and wild animals at night?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Longtong curled his lips slightly. What Wei Wei said made sense. There was no water to drink here anyway. What if he really found some if he went further?
Wei Wei didn't even look at Chen Nan. He said, "But it won't be fed to spiders."
"You, hiss—" Chen Nan touched the wound on the side of his face, "I don't believe you can really lead us to find water."
However, Wei Wei didn't care whether he believed it or not.
What's wrong with this fitness coach? He's incompetent and arrogant. Why does he always target Wei Wei?
[Chen Nan, do you have any conscience? When you fell into the spider's nest, it was Wei Wei who saved you!]
[Outrageous, my family, this is the first time I've seen an ungrateful person, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with it.]
[Laughing to death, Wei Wei: Anyway, I definitely won’t be bitten by a spider [shaking his head]]
Zhou Youguan felt that what Wei Wei said might make sense, because most of the branches and leaves at the bottom of the plants along the way they came up were dead leaves, so the water must not be flowing in the direction they came from.
"Everyone, get moving! We can't dawdle any longer. This is on the flat ground on the mountainside, and moisture will easily accumulate at night, making it unsuitable for camping."
Everyone can only hold on and move forward.
Fortunately, they found a flat area on the hillside sheltered from the wind, and Zhou Youguan let them stop to rest.
"Xiao Zhou, I think we should stick to the previous assignments," Zhao Guanjun said. "Let those with better stamina go find water and food, and the rest of you stay here and build shelter."
Otherwise, if a group of people act together, like they did on the way, dragging one person behind the other, they might not be able to find the place until dark.
"good."
Before Zhou Youguan decided who to take with him, Hu Lu volunteered first, and Zhang Longtong also insisted on going along.
The big monkey naturally wanted to follow. He looked at Wei Wei, who was silent, and asked tentatively: "How about you stay here and build a shelter?"
Wei Wei said, "I still have energy, so it would be better for me to go find a water source."
In the end, Zhou Youlan still kept Hu Lu.
"Why do you want to keep me?" Hu Lu glared at Wei Wei unhappily.
These days, the cameraman of their team was almost glued to Wei Wei. Apart from Zhou Youxuan and Zhang Longtong, she had no chance of getting any shots at all.
Now that I finally have the chance to appear on camera, how come it was snatched away by Wei Wei again?
Zhou Youguan said, "Wei Wei...he's relatively strong, and building the shelter is also very hard work. We have to rely on you for a place to sleep tonight, and this task is also very difficult."
Hu Lucai didn't believe such words, so he had to suppress his anger and go aside.
Zhou Youlan asked Zhao Guanjun to help build a shelter while they went to find food.
When they set off, Wei Wei noticed that Zhou Youlan seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked him to speak frankly.
Zhou Youlan said in a bad tone: "I'm just taking care of girls, I don't have to take you with me or anything else, don't think too much."
Although Wei Wei didn't think in this direction, he still said: "...Yeah."
