Chapter 18: How about a deal?
Niu Xixi was inexplicably called out and was too embarrassed to argue. Her eyes were awkward and she was too embarrassed to speak.
"Use a bow and arrow, how else can you hit it?" Zhang Longtong interrupted, patting the bow and arrow on his back. "This is made by my brother Wei himself. Look at the sheep for yourself to see if there are any scars from arrows."
Zhao Guanjun squatted down and took a look. There were indeed arrow wounds, one on the sheep's hind leg and one on the sheep's right front leg. The arrow did not pierce very deep. The fatal wound was on the neck, and the technique was very neat.
Looking at the bow and arrow that Zhang Longtong was carrying, it didn't look very practical because it was made very crudely.
Zhao Guanjun looked at Wei Wei and said, "How is it possible? You were the one who hit him."
"Xiao Zhou, are you being too modest?"
It must be that Zhou Youlan was too humble and didn't want to compete with others for credit, so he pushed all the credit to Wei Wei.
Wei Wei didn't like to compete for credit with anyone, so he went to the fire to rest. His clothes were wet when he cleared the bloodstains just now, and it was still a little cold at night.
Zhou Youguan shook his head: "I saw Wei Wei catch it with my own eyes. I really only moved it a little bit."
"If it was Brother Wei who beat him, then it was Brother Wei who beat him. He worked hard to catch him. It's not good for us to keep questioning him." Ruan Mengmeng said in a low voice.
Zhang Longtong curled his lips and complained quietly, "I told you it was Brother Wei who beat you up, but you didn't believe me. If you don't believe me, then don't eat."
[Aidou brother and Aidou sister, please be careful with your words. The people in front of you are seniors. I am worried for you.]
When he came out, only Wei Wei's face was stained with blood. It was obviously splashed there. Is there any need to question who caught him?
[Although I didn’t like this long-haired guy at first, I think he is indeed the prey he caught]
[Don't worry, our young master doesn't bother to compete with others for this kind of credit. If he says it's Wei Wei, then it must be Wei Wei.]
[It’s Wei Wei. Didn’t you see him deal with the old ghost? Wei Wei is so awesome, who else could it be but him?]
[Ahhh, cameraman, I hate you. Didn't I tell you to stay close to Wei Wei? How could such an important and exciting scene be lost in the live broadcast? I'm so pissed!]
[I want a pair of clairvoyant eyes. I want to see the full replay of Wei Wei catching the sheep.]
[No, the production team doesn't give the guests a first-person perspective? Don't they do any pre-recording preparation?]
"Alright, alright. Regardless of who it is, we're very grateful," Zhao Jie said, looking at the things on the ground. "Now the important thing is, can we get rid of this first? How are we supposed to eat it?"
Zhou Youlan wanted to ask Wei Wei's opinion, after all, this was the prey he had hunted.
The big monkey and the others couldn't wait to drag the sheep aside and said, "Since there are so many of us, how about roasting a whole lamb?"
"Oh, sure! Bake it and eat it. It's quick and easy."
Zhou Youguan, however, asked Wei Wei's opinion first: "Wei Wei, what do you think?"
This is the prey killed by Wei Wei, so of course I have to ask Wei Wei first.
Wei Wei nodded slightly, and everyone dared to move.
Fearing that there was not enough firewood, a few people spontaneously went to collect firewood, and the rest started to collect the sheep.
Zhou Youxuan told them to keep the internal organs, which could be used for hunting and as bait, and to bury the wool in a pit to prevent the bloody smell from attracting other insects, ants and beasts.
Wei Wei took a set of clean clothes and some sheep offal from Zhang Longtong and others, then returned to the river. It was inconvenient to wash because there were too many people earlier, but it was quieter now.
Roasting a whole lamb is actually very time-consuming. The fire needs to be very strong, and the lamb needs to be cut as it is cooked.
Zhao Guanjun picked out a lamb leg and used part of the meat to make soup. Someone had previously won a small cooking pot for outdoor use. Although it was small, it was enough for making soup.
Zhang Longtong asked for the rest of the lamb to be roasted separately, saying that this leg of lamb belonged to Wei Wei.
Wei Wei was the one who killed the sheep, so naturally he got the best part. The others didn't dare to say much. After all, if it weren't for Wei Wei, they wouldn't have any meat to eat.
Zhang Longtong roasted the meat very carefully. As soon as a piece was cooked, he would cut it off and go find Wei Wei.
"Hey, where's Brother Wei?"
He asked Hu Lu who was sitting beside him, "Sister Hu Lu, have you seen Brother Wei?"
Hu Lu said coldly: "No."
Hu Lu seemed unhappy, but she seemed to have been sitting here the whole night and didn't go over to help. I don't know what happened.
Zhang Longtong looked at the meat in his hand and handed it to her first, "Then Sister Hu Lu, you eat it. I will go find Brother Wei and tell him that the mutton is cooked."
Hu Lu glanced at the meat in his hand, then looked away, "No, I'm going to sleep."
"Are you asleep? Aren't you hungry?" Zhang Longtong thought she was worried about something else. "Don't worry, I roasted it."
Hu Lu's stomach was growling with hunger, but she refused to eat.
"What are you doing?" the cow Xixi suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw Niu Xixi lying on the ground with Lao Gui standing beside him.
"Why are you blocking the road so late at night?" The old ghost turned the tables and said, "How can I see you squatting here in the dark?"
"I'm such a big person here and you still can't see me, are you blind?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhao Guanjun quickly stopped them, and Zhang Longtong and several others gathered around.
After the earlier conflict in the river, I always felt that Lao Gui and the others had bad intentions.
And it seemed that the old ghost was obviously coming for their food, as he kept staring at the lamb roasting on the fire.
The old ghost looked at the people standing in front of him and sneered, "Look at how anxious you are, protecting your food so well."
"You really think I don't dare to deal with you, right?" The big monkey raised the oily dagger, "What the hell do you mean by that? Do you really want to fight?"
Although Lao Gui's words were harsh, the amateur guests did not dare to speak, and the other celebrity guests were even more nervous than each other.
When they were filming their shows in the past, even if there were conflicts between the guests, they would endure it in front of the camera. If such conflicts were really filmed for the audience to see, they were most likely gimmicks deliberately arranged by the production team.
But in this show, quarrels seem to be a common occurrence. Are these amateur guests not afraid of being criticized or attacked at all? They don't even restrain themselves.
Although Zhao Guanjun was unhappy, he couldn't get angry directly, as it would make him look ungenerous.
He suppressed his helplessness and said, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just talk it out and communicate properly. Why are you always like this?"
"You didn't even ask for food when you were eating. You selfishly ate all by yourself, so of course I came to get it myself."
Everyone was shocked by Lao Gui's shamelessness. They thought that since they had such a bad fight earlier, Lao Gui would not dare to provoke them again. They didn't expect that he would only remember the food and not the beating.
And when it comes to selfishness, who can compare to them?
Zhang Longtong shrugged and said, "When you had food, you didn't want to share, but now you want to talk to us about selfishness. If you want to share the food, you should ask Brother Wei for permission."
Whether to give them a share or not, we should first ask Wei Wei's opinion.
Everyone was looking for Wei Wei everywhere. Only Wei Wei could deal with someone like Lao Gui, but they just then discovered that Wei Wei was not there.
Where did Wei Wei go?
"If you want food, you can just talk nicely. Why do you always bully others?" Zhao Jie said kindly, "We should all live in peace. Why do you always have to pick on him?"
Although Niu Xixi's personality is not very likable, it is pitiful to see her always being targeted.
The old ghost still had an indifferent attitude: "It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly. It's his fault for squatting there without saying anything."
"Stop talking nonsense!" the big monkey said with a spit. "You just want to steal our food. I'm telling you, forget about this mutton today. You won't get any."
Zhou Youxuan stopped the big monkey behind him and signaled him not to talk nonsense because the show was still being recorded.
"Don't yell at me." The old ghost took off the hunting rifle on his back. "Do you have the final say?"
Zhou Youguan stepped forward and grabbed the barrel of his gun. "What do you want to do? Are you crazy?"
He actually dared to point a hunting rifle at them. Did he think that the program crew would allow him to record the show freely and no one could control him if he threatened others with a gun?
The old ghost laughed arrogantly, as if he had forgotten the lesson Wei Wei had taught him before, "What did I do? I haven't done anything yet, have I?"
Li Xiaohuan hurriedly grabbed Zhou Youguan and said, "Forget it. We've only been gone for a few days. There's still so much time left. We don't know what dangers we'll encounter. It's better for us to live in peace. Besides, they have guns. Even if they have three heads and six arms, they are not as powerful as guns. What if we encounter an emergency and need their help?"
Maybe what Li Xiaohuan said made some sense, but for people like Lao Gui, staying with them is like living with wolves. How could they be willing to help each other when there is danger?
When Wei Wei came back, Zhou Youxuan was confronting Lao Gui.
He threw out his backpack, hitting the old ghost hard on the head.
"Hiss--" The old ghost covered his head. Seeing that it was Wei Wei, although he was angry, he couldn't suppress his fear and took a few steps back.
"Brother Wei!" Zhang Longtong shouted in surprise. He ran towards Wei Wei, "Brother Wei, where have you been?"
Wei Wei didn't respond. When Ruan Mengmeng and the others saw Wei Wei coming, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Wei Wei coming back, Wang Ren stood up.
Zhang Longtong told him about Lao Gui's attempt to steal the food, then stood aside angrily, "Brother Wei, he only dared to be so arrogant when you were away. He became a coward when you came. Only you can deal with him."
Zhou Youguan saw that his hair was still wet and his clothes had been changed, so he thought he must have gone to the river to take a bath.
But why didn’t you tell me before leaving the team? It’s so dangerous so late at night.
He frowned and said, "You hunted the prey, so you have the final say on how to distribute it."
As soon as Zhou Youlan said this, the other guests' expressions obviously changed.
In fact, before just now, they were still skeptical about whether Wei Wei had hunted the prey tonight, because Wei Wei did not seem to have the ability to do so. But now it seems that it was really Wei Wei who brought them back this important and precious meal today.
Wang Ren ignored everyone and stared sharply at Wei Wei. "How about a deal?"
