Chapter 44 He wants to defend Wei Wei, you really know how to bully honest people...
Lao Gui found a source of clean water. Wang Ren took a sip and asked him what time it was.
The old ghost looked up at the sky and said, "In another hour and a half, it will be dark."
"Then let's set up camp right here."
"Brother, are you tired?" The old ghost tugged at his hand. "Are your wounds hurting? If we walk for another hour, we should be able to completely get rid of those bastards."
Ah Hu said, "After the serum was injected and I received an anti-inflammatory shot, I did feel tired."
"Alright, let's set up camp here and rest." Old Ghost bluntly instructed Li Xiaohuan, "You, go set up the sleeping area. Remember to lay down leaves densely on top, as it might rain tonight."
Li Xiaohuan was reluctant, but with the old ghost pointing a hunting rifle at him, he dared not stand still.
Seeing that Li Xiaohuan was obedient, Lao Gui smiled triumphantly.
He said, "Brother, guess where those idiots are now?"
Wang Ren didn't say anything, but Ah Hu spoke first: "I guess most of them will be eliminated tonight."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Xiaohuan pursed her lips tightly, hugged the branch and paused for a moment, then could only pretend that she heard nothing.
"Not only do I want them eliminated, I want them dead," the old ghost said in a lighthearted yet vicious tone. "That way, victory is ours. Ah Hu, it's a good thing you thought of this clever idea to lure them over. Otherwise, I don't know how we'd ever completely shake them off."
Ah Hu observed Wang Ren's expression and said, "If Wei Wei hadn't been here, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Hearing Wei Wei's name, Wang Ren raised his eyelids lazily.
"He's dead." Ah Hu curved his lips slightly and said to Wang Ren with a smile, as if he was provoking him, but also as if he was showing off his victory to Wang Ren.
Wang Ren's eyes were calm, and he didn't get angry and blame Ah Hu. He just said, "He won't fall so easily."
Ah Hu: "Then there will be a next time. One of these times, he will fall into my hands."
"Ahu." Wang Ren's tone was full of warning.
"What?" Ah Hu's face darkened for a moment, "Are you going to attack me because of him?"
Wang Ren picked up the hunting rifle beside him and raised it, but he restrained himself when he was about to hit Ah Hu on the head. "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"
Lao Gui didn't expect the good atmosphere to turn into this because of talking about Wei Wei. He stopped Ah Hu and said, "Brother, Ah Hu has always been like this. He is also... "
"Forget it, big brother, you are still injured, so don't bother with Ah Hu."
There was both anger and unwillingness in Ahu's eyes, but what he hated even more was that Wang Ren actually wanted to attack him because of an outsider.
…
They had been walking for less than half an hour when heavy rain began to fall.
Fortunately, everyone had made raincoats and did not dare to stop on the road, because on their way back they discovered that there was a mountain stream under the vegetation on their side. The heavy rain had only lasted for an hour, but the water level in the river had risen so high.
They were also sheltered by the treetops and not drenched by the heavy rain. Otherwise, with the water level rising at this rate, they would not have been able to walk in this heavy rain.
Noticing that Zhou Youxuan was staring at his head, Wei Wei took off the hairpin and put it back into his backpack.
Zhou Youlan felt a little embarrassed to be discovered. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just a little curious. How can a hairpin make a sound? It's so strange."
"There's a special hole mechanism inside, so it emits sound waves."
"It's amazing." Zhou Youguan laughed, "Would it be difficult to make friends with you?"
After all, Wei Wei seems too distant. People who don't know him well would probably think he is arrogant and weird.
Wei Wei didn't understand what he meant at first, so Zhou Youlan continued, "What kind of person can be your friend?"
He seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
But he was indeed curious about what kind of person could become friends with Wei Wei and be regarded as a friend by Wei Wei?
Maybe he is a very special person.
Zhou Youlan wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
Niu Xixi has been crying since he woke up, as if he was terribly scared. No one can persuade him to stop, and everyone is afraid that he will faint from crying.
Chen Nan was injured and walked the slowest. Niu Xixi kept crying in his ear, which made him annoyed, so he scolded Niu Xixi a few times.
The two of them argued back and forth, and the argument became more and more intense.
"What else can you do besides crying?"
"Well, at least I didn't pee my pants like you did!"
Niu Xixi pouted at him, "You coward who peed his pants because you were scared!"
This sentence directly touched Chen Nan's most sensitive nerve at the moment. He angrily slapped Niu Xixi. Niu Xixi had never been slapped before, and he went crazy in an instant, waving his arms to grab Chen Nan's face.
The two men struggled and Niu Xixi's nails left several marks on Chen Nan's face. Chen Nan punched Niu Xixi several times. Rain and mud mixed together. Niu Xixi deliberately stepped on the wound on his leg, and Chen Nan fell into a disadvantage.
Everyone had to stop. Chen Nan pushed Niu Xixi and pushed her to Ke Feiyang's side, knocking down Ke Feiyang and Li Rongsheng who he was carrying on his back.
"What are you doing!" Ruan Mengmeng hurried to help the drowsy Li Rongsheng up. "What time is it now? Do you still have the time and energy to quarrel?"
"Sorry." Ke Feiyang quickly apologized to Li Rongsheng.
Li Rongsheng shook her head slightly. Ke Feiyang and everyone else took turns carrying her all the way. How could she blame Ke Feiyang?
Hearing Niu Xixi crying again, Ruan Mengmeng was really tired and annoyed: "Niu Xixi, can you please stop for a moment? Wouldn't it be better for you to use your energy to hurry on your way? What are you crying about? What's there to cry about? Can crying solve the problem?"
Although the girls were also scared, they didn't cry like this.
"He's just a small internet celebrity with a few fans, but he's always putting on an act." Chen Nan sneered.
Niu Xixi was ruthless in her words: "Who are you calling an act? Besides, I can't act as well as you do. If you pee your pants once, you'll be on the trending searches. Who can compare to you?"
Chen Nan was about to attack again, and Hu Lu and Kang Xiang came to pull them apart, but Chen Nan was so angry that he couldn't hear anything. He just felt that everyone was laughing at him in their hearts for being scared to pee his pants.
"Okay, stop messing around!"
"Stop fighting! What time is it now? How dare you still want to fight?"
"Stop it!" Zhao Guanjun roared angrily, "It's already this hour and you still have the energy to fight. Don't you know your teammate is injured and in critical condition?"
Chen Nan was so angry at this moment that he wanted to curse at everyone he saw.
Seeing Li Rongsheng's half-dead look, he sarcastically said, "You have the nerve to enter the entertainment industry when you look like this? If you can't leave, just die."
Chen Nan saw Wei Wei and the others walking slowly towards him and said, "What's so great about it? Why are you so proud?"
"Chen Nan! Do you have any conscience?" Hu Lu scolded, "Your leg is injured, and everyone has been carrying you along all the way. Did they give up on you? If Wei Wei hadn't been there just now, you don't know if you would still be alive.
"Do I need you to take me with you? Can't I get out without him?"
Chen Nan seemed to be crazy. No matter who he spoke to, he would start by spitting nonsense without any scruples.
"You," Li Rongsheng said weakly, breathing rapidly, "You can insult anyone here, but you have no right to insult Wei Wei."
"Last time you fell into a spider's nest, it was Brother Wei's branch that saved you. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you would have made it this far!"
Ruan Mengmeng gently patted Li Rongsheng's back and told her not to get excited.
Several people on the side couldn't help but be surprised. The scene of spiders crawling all over Chen Nan's body that day was still vivid in their minds. No one dared to help Chen Nan at that time. It turned out that it was Wei Wei who did it.
Chen Nan's face changed and he was speechless for a moment.
Li Rongsheng sneered, "Don't you know how much Brother Wei has done for you? If it weren't for Brother Wei's medicine, you would have died a long time ago. Even if you don't know how to be grateful, at least don't always attack others like this. Others don't owe you anything, nor do they deserve anything from you. You're a grown man but you don't have any real skills. When you encounter danger, you run faster than anyone else. You're good at talking, but what else can you do besides mocking others? I thought you were so capable, but it turns out that when others mock you, you'll be so broken."
Originally, Zhao Guanjun had some good feelings towards Chen Nan, thinking that this young man was tactful and good at speaking, with a strong build and very manly appearance. But now it seems that his broad-mindedness and character are really not up to par.
He shook his head in disappointment: "Li Rongsheng's condition was already critical, and you still ignored the overall situation."
"You like to quarrel, right? Then you can continue to quarrel in the back. Let's go. We still have to find medicine for Li Rongsheng."
No one was too lazy to pay attention to them, so they packed up and left quickly.
Niu Xixi wiped away her tears and hurried after them, but Chen Nan just sat there, watching everyone's backs as they walked away, as if he had been abandoned by everyone.
They walked in the dark until late at night before they found a fire ahead.
The old ghosts woke up after hearing the noise and saw a group of people slowly approaching. They really didn't expect that the plan would fail so completely.
Originally, Ah Hu had thought of a plan. This time he wanted to be more ruthless and kick everyone else out of the program recording, so he set up a trap to lure them to the snake's nest. Even if not all of them would be eliminated, at least most of them would be injured and quit. But unexpectedly, no one left, and not many people were injured.
How is this possible? !
Wei Wei walked out from beside Zhang Longtong. Seeing Wei Wei, Lao Gui roughly guessed what he had done.
Yes, as long as Wei Wei is there, this group of people will have someone to cling to. As long as Wei Wei is there, it will not be so easy for these people to quit.
"You guys are really fast," the old ghost said sarcastically, "faster than a dog. You caught up with us so quickly."
They were several hours ahead, and it was raining so heavily on the road, but they managed to walk through most of the night and catch up.
Zhang Longtong ripped off the knitted rain hat on his head and said, "Who are you calling a dog?"
"Whoever responds gets called, whoever shouts the loudest gets called."
Zhang Longtong couldn't help but wanted to take action, but was pulled back by Zhou Youxuan. Now was not the time to settle accounts or to cause trouble.
"You knew there were snakes along that route, so you lured us there!" Zhang Longtong cursed. "You're still as shameless and vicious as ever. Even if you wanted us to quit the show and get eliminated, you wouldn't resort to such vicious methods."
"You know that can kill people!"
The old ghost had a face full of indifference, imitating Zhang Longtong's exaggerated expression: "That will kill people. Oh, so what? Didn't the director tell you that coming here will kill people?"
Zhang Longtong could no longer bear it. He rushed forward and grabbed Lao Gui by the collar, but was quickly controlled by Lao Gui.
"Brother Wei..." Zhang Longtong felt pain and asked Wei Wei for help.
As Wei Wei took a step, Lao Gui pushed Zhang Longtong away. He snorted and laughed, "You clearly found a way to go, but you chose not to go and go to seek death. Who can you blame?"
"You're a bunch of idiots. He's the only smart guy among you." The old ghost pointed at Wei Wei, "If it weren't for him, would you still be here shouting at me?"
Zhao Guanjun, who was standing at the back, looked ugly and ashamed.
"What should we do now?" The big monkey whispered beside Zhou Youguan, "I just saw a small medicine bag next to Wang Ren, and a used syringe next to the fire. They must have medicine for snake bites, otherwise they wouldn't stay here with Wang Ren's injuries."
Zhou Youguan turned his head and asked Wei Wei for his opinion.
Wei Wei nodded, he had no objection.
"We'll rest here tonight." Zhou Youguan invited everyone to come forward, "We'll set up camp here tonight."
No one understood what Zhou Youlan meant. They had always been at odds with people like Lao Gui. Wouldn't squeezing in with them here only exacerbate the conflict?
However, in the current environment, they couldn't start a fire, and it seemed that there was no place more suitable than here.
Zhou Youguan took off his raincoat and took the seat opposite Wang Ren. Wei Wei, the big monkey and others also sat down by the fire one after another.
I don't know if it was because they were too tired to walk and completely gave up, or if it was because they became braver after passing the snake's nest, but they were no longer afraid of Wang Ren and the others, and even dared to openly occupy his camp.
A group of more than ten of them plus more than twenty staff members all came in, and the originally deserted and spacious camp suddenly became crowded and lively.
Wang Ren and the others were woken up and sat up. Everyone used the fire to dry their wet clothes. The giant monkey greeted Wang Ren and the others warmly and friendly.
When he saw Wei Wei, A Hu's face looked obviously ugly. He knew that those snakes might not be able to hurt Wei Wei, but he didn't expect that he could bring all these people out.
Ruan Mengmeng and Ke Feiyang helped Li Rongsheng to the fire, letting her warm herself up and perhaps she would feel better.
Unexpectedly, Li Rongsheng showed some signs of fever, so Ruan Mengmeng hurriedly called Wei Wei and Zhou Youlan.
"You do have some body heat." Wei Wei pulled open Li Rongsheng's sleeve. The medicine on her wound was soaked by the rain and some of it was wiped off, so the medicinal properties were not completely evaporated.
"What should we do?" Ruan Mengmeng wiped the water droplets from Li Rongsheng's face. "We've run out of herbs. What should we do?"
Zhou Youguan's eyes fell on the medicine bag beside Wang Ren's leg, and Wei Wei also looked at it.
Wang Ren noticed their gazes and curled his lips: "It seems that you really need this thing."
"What do you want?" Zhou Youlan said straight to the point, "We can trade with you."
"You are not qualified to talk to me."
Zhou Youlan: “…” What a familiar sentence.
Wang Ren looked at Wei Wei: "But if you ask me, I might consider it."
"What do you want?"
Wang Ren didn't say anything. He leaned forward slightly and said something irrelevant: "I'm relieved that you're not hurt."
“…”
Zhou Youxuan's face darkened instantly. The way Wang Ren looked at his prey really made him uncomfortable.
If he was looking at someone else, perhaps he wouldn't care, but he was staring at Wei Wei, and there was a sense of tension that he liked someone but was also noticed by someone else.
Wait, the word "like" actually popped up in his mind just now.
It seemed as if he subconsciously...had already regarded Wei Wei as his exclusive person.
"What are the conditions?" Wei Wei asked again patiently.
Wang Ren said, "I don't want anything except you."
Zhou Youguan stood up in an instant and said, "Wang Ren, don't go too far!"
"I'm talking to him, do you have the right to interrupt?" Wang Ren raised an eyebrow at Wei Wei, "I'm not kidding."
Wei Wei was in no mood to waste time chatting with him. He took out a map from his backpack and said, "Without a map, you won't be able to find the correct route once you enter the deep rainforest."
The reason they went in the wrong direction before was that they had no map and relied entirely on experience to determine the direction, which led to the deviation.
Wei Wei thought that this map must be very important to them, especially after entering the rainforest.
Wang Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. It was a long time before he laughed out loud again.
"Wei Wei, if a person is too smart and good at seeing through people's minds, he won't be very happy."
Indeed, they did this deliberately, not only because they wanted most of them to withdraw from the program and reduce their competitiveness, but more importantly, they wanted the map on Wei Wei.
Originally their target was Zhou Youlan, because only when Zhou Youlan was in danger would Wei Wei risk everything.
But I didn't expect that Wei Wei would use the map as a bargaining chip so easily for others.
Wang Ren didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.
He should be happy that Zhou Youlan was not so important in Wei Wei's heart that no one could compare to him, but he also lamented that Wei Wei, a man who was obviously cruel enough to kick him off a cliff and watch him die, could still be so tolerant and kind to others.
Wei Wei is obviously so cold that he doesn't care about anyone, but he can still take care of everyone.
He remembered that Wei Wei was not familiar with the little singer who was bitten by the snake, but he actually took out such an important map that concerned their lives as a bargaining chip without thinking.
If it was the old ghost beside him, or A Hu, or himself, he would never take out something as important as a map to exchange medicine for someone he had barely spoken to.
"Wait," Zhao Guanjun stopped him, "Wei Wei, think carefully, we only have this one map."
"Yeah, Brother Wei, we can't get out without a map."
Zhang Longtong wanted to save Li Rongsheng, but the map was of vital importance to all of them. Whether they got first place or not was a small matter. What mattered was whether they could get out of the rainforest.
One wrong step will lead to another, and they don’t want to be trapped here and die.
Everyone started to speak out to stop them, and some even offered their own equipment in exchange for the map.
But Wang Ren didn't want those. Apart from Wei Wei, what he wanted was the map.
Li Rongsheng slowly opened her eyes, her voice weak: "Brother Wei, I don't want medicine. You, don't hand over the map to them, otherwise, we won't be able to get out at all."
Besides, no one would be willing to give victory to these shameless people.
She really didn't want to put everyone in such a predicament, nor did she want to make things difficult for everyone or make them blame her.
When the old ghost saw Wei Wei take out the map, his face was full of pride, as if his plan had succeeded. "We want the map. If you give it to us, the rest of the medicine will be yours."
The big monkey was shrewd. He deliberately asked, "Who knows what medicine is left in there? You are so shameless. If there was only a pack of cotton swabs in there, wouldn't you say it was medicine?"
"There's still a dose of antivenom, an anti-inflammatory, and a fever-reducing medicine left in there." Wang Ren looked at Wei Wei. "Do you want to check it out?"
If Wang Ren says there is, then there is a high probability that it really exists.
Everyone became more and more nervous, chattering one after another, and no one was willing to let Wei Wei hand over the map.
Zhou Youlan said, "I support your decision. You want to save Shengsheng, but..."
What he wanted was to cooperate with Wang Ren and others. After handing the map to Wang Ren and others, everyone would share the map.
Wei Wei knew what Zhou Youlan was thinking, but he had other ideas.
Wei Wei only asked: "Do you want to do this deal or not?"
Wang Ren laughed heartily and threw the medicine bag directly to them.
"If you were a little more gentle, I would have given it to you long ago."
That being said, the deal has been done.
The old ghost stepped forward and held out his hand unhappily: "Give it to me!"
Wei Wei opened the map slowly and unhurriedly, slowly tearing it open from the fold in the middle.
The old ghost's eyes widened, and he suddenly became anxious: "What do you mean?!"
No one expected Wei Wei to do this. It seemed a bit shameless.
"Did I say I'd give you everything?"
Wei Wei's tone was slow, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of nonchalant confidence and evil.
The old ghost angrily stepped forward to fight for it, but was firmly blocked by Zhou Youlan.
Wang Ren was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed again.
It was not difficult to hear from his laughter that he was happy. He was not angry at being teased by Wei Wei. Instead, he was very happy because he discovered that Wei Wei, who seemed serious, cold and independent on the surface, actually had such a dark and rogue side.
Wei Wei handed over the other half of the map. Lao Gui felt aggrieved, but since Wang Ren didn't say anything, he could only swallow his anger.
But the more frustrating thing was yet to come. When he was about to take the map, Wei Wei's fingers loosened, and the map fell to the side of the fire and a corner of it burned.
Lao Gui hurriedly reached out to take it out, but the corners were burned a little, and the map, which was already only half completed, was now even more incomplete.
"I fucking—"
"Old ghost." Wang Ren called him slowly, "Come back."
"Brother!" The old ghost was extremely dissatisfied and wished he could tear Wei Wei to pieces to vent his anger.
All the losses he suffered in his life were not as much as what he suffered from Wei Wei during this period.
Only at this moment did he truly understand why Ah Hu was so angry with Wang Ren and why he felt so disappointed in him.
Ever since meeting Wei Wei, Wang Ren seemed to be possessed by a ghost and became a completely different person. Wang Ren used to be so decisive, ruthless and murderous.
Wang Ren lifted up the map in the old ghost's hand, and the edge of the paper, which still had a tiny spark of fire, overlapped with Wei Wei's face. He blew gently on the red burning spot, and the ashes curled up. Wei Wei's eyebrows were clear, but cold and beautiful.
This is truly a face that kills everything and makes it impossible for people to be angry with him at all.
"Ah'an, you really know how to bully honest people."
