Chapter 35 Are you okay? Caution is the key to love
Wei Wei was used to being half asleep and half awake. He did notice Zhou Youlan tossing and turning last night, but he didn't notice anything dangerous or unusual. He didn't know what was wrong with Zhou Youlan and why he couldn't sleep like this.
But this is not within his jurisdiction. As long as you don't get hurt or bleed, you can go sightseeing with Zhou.
Before leaving, everyone decided to fill their stomachs first.
Last night, Zhang Longtong put the fishing cage into the river. In the morning, he found several black loaches and several large lobsters in it.
Although they were small in size, they were barely enough to make soup. With the remaining charcoal, he cooked a pot of hodgepodge. When it was almost time to serve, Wei Wei threw in a handful of wild vegetables.
These wild vegetables are all edible, but they taste very bitter and have no flavor when cooked alone. Mixing them with fish soup can also cover up some of the fishy smell of the eel.
Although there is not much meat, the wild vegetables are enough to fill you up.
Zhou Youxuan deliberately sat far away from Wei Wei, but this gave Niu Xixi an opportunity. As long as there was a gap next to Wei Wei, Niu Xixi would squeeze through.
Niu Xixi's eyes were always on Wei Wei. She stole a few glances and smiled shyly, looking so embarrassed as if she was feeling love for the first time.
Everyone got a few pieces of meat, and Niu Xixi saved his share for Wei Wei.
"Wei Wei, this is for you to eat."
Wei Wei said calmly, "I'm full."
"How can you be full after eating just a little? You use so much energy every day. If I can't finish it, I'll give it all to you."
"No need." Wei Wei stood up, picked up his backpack and went into the woods.
The others thought he was about to leave, so they quickly finished the rest and tried to chase him.
Zhao Guanjun saw them rushing around in a hurry and said, "Be careful, the soup is so hot, drink it slowly."
"Brother Wei is leaving." Zhang Longtong's mouth was filled with wild vegetables, his cheeks puffed up and his words were slurred. "Let's finish eating quickly and catch up with him."
The big monkey waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "Don't panic, he didn't leave."
Zhang Longtong pointed in the direction Wei Wei was heading: "But he..."
"Don't worry, my brother is still here. If my brother doesn't leave, Wei Wei will definitely not leave first. He must have gone somewhere convenient."
Zhang Longzong agreed, "That's true."
If Zhou Youlan didn't leave, Wei Wei would definitely not leave first.
Niu Xixi pouted his lips and found that Zhou Youxuan was looking at him. He snorted provocatively and chased in the direction Wei Wei left.
"?" Zhou Youlan was puzzled.
But he suddenly discovered that Niu Xixi didn't seem to be pestering him these days, nor did she flirt with him, unlike before when she would stick to him and say inappropriate things to him.
Niu Xixi would do these things to Wei Wei, although she was more restrained towards Wei Wei than towards him, but it was obvious that Niu Xixi's crazy enthusiasm for him had shifted to another target...
They had never argued with each other over him. After just a few days, Niu Xixi had forgotten about him and had developed a good impression of Wei Wei. She even transferred her initial hostility towards Wei Wei to him.
This made him feel relieved, as he finally didn't have to be bothered anymore.
But when did Niu Xixi develop such feelings for Wei Wei?
…
There were footsteps behind him. Wei Wei turned around and saw that the person coming was Ke Feiyang.
Ke Feiyang nodded at him, and Wei Wei nodded slightly in response. He had some impression of this person. This person was not like Chen Nan and Li Xiaohuan who liked to show off, nor was he very talkative, nor did he like to complain about the hard work. He seemed to be doing his work honestly.
Ke Feiyang originally wanted to go to the other side, but after hesitating for a moment, he moved behind Wei Wei again.
"Are you looking for something?"
It seemed like Wei Wei was looking for something along the way, and he kept looking around.
Wei Wei continued to walk forward without being driven away, and Ke Feiyang hurried to catch up: "I just want to say thank you to you. If it weren't for you, it would have been difficult for us to persevere along the way."
"Need not."
Ke Feiyang smiled and said, "What are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
Wei Wei didn't think about looking for anything. He just came to relieve himself and look for some wild fruits to eat on the road.
By chance, he came across several yanluo fruit trees.
"Eh?!" Ke Feiyang ran over hurriedly, "There are pears!"
He first leaned over to smell it, but he couldn't smell the scent of pear, but the shape looked like a pear.
"No." Wei Wei picked one and said, "It's a Yanluo fruit."
The edges of the leaves of the pear tree are serrated, while the leaves of the ramie are more like tea leaves and are slender. The fruits look similar.
"Can it be eaten?" Ke Feiyang asked. Wei Wei knew all this, and he would only dare to pick it if Wei Wei said it was edible.
Wei Wei: "It's non-toxic and edible."
Moreover, this fruit has a strong sense of filling, so it is okay to eat more.
Wei Wei walked forward a little further and found some Zhuma golden capsules. He picked a few and threw some to Ke Feiyang.
“Can this be eaten?”
"Yes." Wei Wei said, "One is taken internally, and the other is chewed and applied on the arm."
Ke Feiyang looked at his left arm. His elbow was still aching. He was a little surprised: "How did you know my hand was injured?"
When we were leaving the cave yesterday, the terrain was very steep and there was only one tree to use as a foothold. He twisted his arm while helping to pull people up. The bone was fine, just twisted, and it wasn't a big deal.
He didn't tell anyone, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to find out.
Could it be that Wei Wei was observing him?
Or was it because he only dared to use one hand to pick the fruit just now, and Wei Wei saw through it?
I think it should be the latter, otherwise why would Wei Wei observe him? How could Wei Wei see him?
But Ke Feiyang was still very grateful: "Thank you, I'll use it later."
When they returned to the campsite, everyone had already put out the fire and packed up their luggage.
Seeing Ke Feiyang holding a bunch of bulging things in his clothes, I thought they had found something good again.
"This is the Yanluo fruit. Wei Wei said it's edible."
The big monkey gave them a thumbs up and said, "It's said that Wei Wei won't come back empty-handed when he goes out. With these, we can hold on for another day or two."
Wei Wei found that Zhou Youguan seemed to have no appetite in the morning, and he didn't eat much of the fish cooked by Zhang Longtong. In the end, all of it fell into the big monkey's mouth, so he gave him two of the biggest fruits.
"Uh," Zhou Youguan said with an uneasy look on his face, "No, I just ate. I'm not hungry."
Wei Wei slowly withdrew his hand, but still added: "It has medicinal properties, tastes sweet and can stimulate the appetite."
Although he was just worried that the young master would be hungry on the road because he didn't eat much, in Zhou Youlan's opinion, his concern for him was forced and he was very cautious.
Even though he had clearly refused, Wei Wei still kept giving it to him out of good intentions.
But Wei Wei has always been like this to him. Even if he was rejected coldly in the past, Wei Wei would continue to be nice to him, protect him and care about him the next time.
A popular saying on the Internet suddenly popped up in Zhou Youguan's mind: "Caution is the essence of love."
The big monkey and other people were very carefree when interacting with him, but only Wei Wei treated him so cautiously, fearing that he would get hurt.
So he went out just now because he saw that he had no appetite in the morning, so he went to find these wild fruits for him to eat.
Wei Wei was so deeply in love with him, but he couldn't respond for the time being.
Seeing him in a daze again, Wei Wei frowned slightly. He always felt that Zhou Youlan's reaction had become much slower recently. Could it be because of the food shortage and he was always hungry, and his brain was not enough?
"No." Zhou Youguan shook his head, "No, I don't like eating this."
The way he retreated looked like Wei Wei was some kind of virus.
Wei Wei threw the fruit to the big monkey. He was always patient with Zhou Youguan, but not too much. When he was really hungry, he would find food for himself.
After they climbed up the hillside, they found that if they had chosen to climb the mountain yesterday, they would have to climb three peaks in a row before they could cross the mountain range, but going through the cave saved them more than half the time.
The most important thing at the moment is that the mountain stream in front of them is the biggest obstacle for them to cross the mountain.
This mountain stream was formed naturally, separating two mountain peaks. Over the years, the top and middle of the mountain have been covered with vines, some of which have dried up and become firewood, while others are still green.
The distance between the two sides is not far, and it even looks like a distance of more than one or two meters. However, the bottom of the mountain is blocked by vines, branches and trees, and it is difficult to tell whether there is an undercurrent or a dry abyss below.
Moreover, it was obvious that this was a mountain crevice that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. If they fell while climbing over it, they would be in great danger of death.
Everyone was discouraged. They were now on the upper part of the mountainside. The mountain that was the only way to the top and the opposite peak was even farther away. They had no way to cross over directly. They could only find a way to climb to the opposite mountain crevice from their current position or from the foot of the mountain further down.
It is not feasible to walk online, and it is too risky to cross from the current position. They can only go down the mountain, but they have just climbed up with great difficulty.
Neither method was optimistic, and the guests couldn't help feeling desperate and even more timid.
"How on earth did you lead the way?" Chen Nan touched the painful and itchy wounds on his body. Exhaustion made him very irritable. "When you were leading the way, could you not have observed the terrain and determined the route first? Did you think you had enough time to keep taking detours?"
"We're not taking a detour," Zhou Youlan replied somewhat unhappily. "The map the production team provided only outlined the route and provided tips for identifying the terrain. It didn't detail every possible route we might take."
The program team did not send staff to survey the route for them first, but only gave a rough idea, because their adventure would really involve life-threatening dangers.
They were only following the map to calculate the optimal route, and they did not have the ability to predict the future or the ability to see through the sky. They did not expect to encounter such a natural broken mountain stream blocking their way forward.
If you take the wrong path, just plan a new route. What good will it do if you just blame others when you encounter difficulties?
"What should we do? What should we do now? Should we fly over there?"
Chen Nan was about to collapse. He insisted on climbing up, but now he was told that going up was a dead end and he had to go down. Wouldn’t they have climbed for several hours in vain?
Zhao Guanjun's lips turned pale from exhaustion. "Xiao Zhou, is there any other way to go? Otherwise, we can go up there and think of a way to cut a branch to make a bridge and cross over from here. This way, we can save a lot of distance and time."
"That's unlikely." Zhou Youguan estimated the distance. "The top of the mountain is obviously two or three times wider than here. We can't use trees to carry it across. It would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive. I suggest we go down the mountain and find a safe place to land before moving forward."
"Alas, this is the only way."
"What do you think?"
Wei Wei tilted his head, surprised that Zhou Youlan would actually ask for his opinion.
"It will be all right."
It doesn't matter which way you go. It's easy for him to get through here, but it's difficult for others. Once he reaches the top of the mountain, he can also easily jump to the other side. It mainly depends on how Zhou Youguan takes the tour.
Zhou Youguan breathed a sigh of relief. "Then everyone, rest here for ten minutes. After ten minutes, we'll head down the mountain and find a new route to cross it."
Everyone sighed and groaned like wilted eggplants, which was understandable. After finally climbing here, there was another chasm, and they had to turn back in the other direction. No one had much energy left.
"Can we make it to the end?" Zhang Longtong slumped on the ground. "Why does it feel like we've walked forever and still feel like the end is nowhere in sight?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the mountain range at the end, which was still so far away from them.
Ruan Mengmeng almost wanted to cry: "No wonder the director said that on the first day. I thought he was trying to scare me."
It's only been a dozen days and they already want to give up.
The destination, Mount Lemaslan, has just over forty days left. Can they really reach it?
"Everyone, hold on! We're here to challenge ourselves and nature. If we retreat when faced with even the slightest difficulty or obstacle, then what's the point of even coming here?" Zhou Youguan was tired, but as vice-captain, he had to boost morale and lead his teammates forward. "This is just a small mountain range. Our real goal is to conquer Mount Lemaslang. We've encountered so many dangers and difficulties along the way and persevered. Are we really going to be frightened by this small mountain stream?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely lead you over this mountain."
Zhou Youling was so excited that he shouted louder and louder, making himself so hot that it made him feel hotter and hotter. However, no one reacted and they were still lazy.
Lin Yue led the applause: "Yes, yes, everyone, just keep persevering. We will definitely be able to cross this mountain today and prove that we can do it."
Everyone clapped and agreed, but it was obvious that no one was very passionate.
Forget it, Zhou Youlan sat back down, everyone was too tired.
"Brother, if we go down, what if there's a hidden river at the bottom of the mountain, or if the bottom is as wide as the top, what will we do then?"
The giant monkey's guess is not impossible, but they have to explore it themselves to know the specific situation.
Kang Xiang said, "How about we split up into groups, just like yesterday? Those who are in good physical condition will go ahead and explore the way, while those who are weak or injured will follow. We can mark the road. If the road ahead is passable, draw a circle, and if it is not, mark an X. This might be more convenient."
"That's a good idea." Zhou Youguan stood up. "Teacher Zhao, what do you think?"
"No problem. This way, we don't have to wait for each other and waste time. I'll go explore the way with you this time, and let Ke Feiyang stay and lead the team."
Zhou Youxuan saw the wound on his hand and said, "Teacher Zhao, you are injured, so you should stay back and take your time."
"It's okay, I just hurt my hand, it won't affect my walking."
Ke Feiyang did not shirk his responsibilities: "Okay, I promise to bring the injured here."
Wang Daodao originally wanted to go with Zhou Youlan and the others, but was stopped by Chen Nan. The reason was that his injuries were getting worse and worse because Wang Daodao's herbal medicine had caused his wounds to fester faster, so Wang Daodao could not leave him behind.
"I already told you last night that it might not be effective. Didn't you also tell me it's okay?"
"But now no one can help me except you. What if my leg is broken?"
It is obvious that Chen Nan is going to rely on Wang Daodao.
Wang Daodao felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have helped. His good intentions ended up causing trouble.
The others didn't say much, after all, it had little to do with them, and Chen Nan's injury was indeed more serious than last night. It was probably that there was something wrong with Wang Daodao's medicine.
"Luckily, we're all looking for Brother Wei." Zhang Longtong whispered to the girls around him, "The mosquito bites on my arms are gone."
"Mine is the same. I think Chen Nan should go ask Brother Wei if there is any solution. I see that the wound on his leg is full of pus. It's terrible."
Hu Lu shook her head: "I think it's better to forget it. Chen Nan's attitude towards Wei Wei is not very friendly. He probably won't speak up."
Zhang Longtong snorted contemptuously: "Don't bother my brother Wei with everything. My brother Wei is busy and has no time to take care of cats and dogs."
"Zhang Longtong, could you please be more polite? Do you think I can't hear you?" Chen Nan was fuming over everything going wrong. He didn't care if he still had cameras or was still live streaming. He just let out his anger. "I'm telling you, even if I die of pain and my leg is broken, I won't bow to Wei Wei or beg him for anything."
"Ha." Zhang Longtong laughed, "I thought all the fish meat had gone into the dog's stomach this morning."
Chen Nan was angry and felt guilty, so he turned around and left with Wang Daodao in his arms.
[Hahahaha no, did anyone see the cameraman turn the camera towards Li Rongsheng just now?]
[This is the first time Li Rongsheng has such a big expression. He is totally acting like me.]
[Li Rongsheng's expression is so vivid. This is the first time I've seen it in all the days since the show aired.]
[Hahaha, I personally witnessed who rescued Chen Nan from the spider's nest. I was speechless when I heard Chen Nan say these words.]
Li Rongsheng rolled his eyes: "I've seen ungrateful people before, but I've never seen such an ungrateful person like this."
[Zhang Longtong, you are so bold! You are afraid of the show and dare to say anything.]
The kid has really seen the world. He's not afraid to fire a machine gun at anyone he catches.
Li Rongsheng should just tell Chen Nan that it was Wei Wei who saved him that night. Let's see if he still has the nerve to scold Wei Wei.
"Do you think Chen Nan is really the kind of person who is grateful for help? That night, it was Zhou Youlan who took the risk to pull him over. Didn't he show no gratitude towards Zhou Youlan and wasn't very polite?"
I've heard a lot about ungrateful people, but this is the first time I've seen one alive.
Zhang Longtong is really partial to Wei Wei. Could it be that he likes Wei Wei?
…
The chasm sloped down the mountain, so they walked for a long time before finding a place where they could land safely on the other side.
He also met Wang Ren and the others, but this time there was one more person, Li Xiaohuan.
Zhou Youlan guessed that Li Xiaohuan was traveling with Wang Ren and the others. After all, Li Xiaohuan was in the same group with them before. They were delayed several times because of injuries of other guests. Li Xiaohuan was separated from the team, but they also needed someone to take care of each other, so he would only go to find Wang Ren and the others.
However, it seemed that Wang Ren and others were waiting for them, because their fire had already burned a thick layer of ash.
Li Xiaohuan came over and said, "You finally found me."
He leaned over and counted the heads. "You're the only ones who made it? That's pretty much what I expected."
"Did you also go to that cave?" Zhou Youlan asked.
Li Xiaohuan saw the wound on Zhao Guanjun's hand and guessed what happened. He couldn't hide the pride on his face: "I came earlier than you guys, and it seems that I am doing better than you."
Zhou Youxuan calculated the time and roughly guessed based on the distance that Li Xiaohuan's group would not be more than five hours ahead of them, so in fact, the four of them had always been not far away from their main group.
The bats in the cave were obviously disturbed by the last group of people who entered. Li Xiaohuan guessed that many of them might be eliminated here, so Li Xiaohuan and his friends had discovered that there were bats in the cave a long time ago.
Ruan Mengmeng was the only one in the team who had lighting equipment. Wang Ren and the others did not get any lighting equipment, nor did they bring their own. So how did they discover that there were bats in the cave and hide safely?
Wei Wei glanced at Li Xiaohuan casually and didn't expose him.
"Haven't you found a way to get out?" Zhao Guanjun saw that they had been resting here for a long time. If they had found a way, they would have left long ago.
"Found it." Li Xiaohuan pointed to a spot in front of them on the right, near the bottom of the mountain. "The narrow wall of the ravine ahead is the shortest, and there's a flat area on the opposite side where you can stand steadily. This is the best route to get there."
Zhou Youxuan went forward to investigate, and Wei Wei followed.
The distance here is indeed relatively closer, but the mountain wall here is at a low place, and the water on the mountain flows down. The mountain wall is soaked in water all year round, and moss grows on the stone wall. The water at the bottom of the mountain is also flowing, but it does not look deep. Even if you fall down, you will not be seriously injured. Moreover, the branches on both sides are entangled with vines, and they hang down naturally, so they can be used as ropes.
Zhou Youlan: "You have been here all this time, are you waiting for us?"
"Well, but when you arrive, let's set off." Li Xiaohuan couldn't wait to pack her luggage.
If Wang Ren hadn't said he would wait for them, he would have left long ago.
I don’t know why Wang Ren has to wait for these people. They can’t help at all and are always a drag. Why waste time?
Zhou Youguan took off his backpack and said, "The others are still behind us. You guys go first."
Seeing that Wang Ren and the others didn't move, Li Xiaohuan had no choice but to put down her backpack and sit back reluctantly.
"Are you okay?" Wang Ren suddenly asked, "Did those bats hurt you?"
When they heard the voice, several people looked up and found that Wang Ren was looking at Wei Wei and was concerned about Wei Wei.
