Chapter 5 He is a straight man, so we can only squeeze together
There were only five or six people with knives. Although everyone was tired on the first night, most of them were still excited about the novelty of spending the night in the wild, so they moved quite quickly.
The big monkey followed behind and picked up branches. When he saw Wei Wei, he said, "Brother, why is Wei Wei following us again? Is he following you?"
Zhou Youlan also discovered it.
"I don't want him to follow me, but he's here to participate in the show. We're all going to the same destination. How can I get rid of him?"
"That's right." The big monkey was surprised. "Could he like you?"
The machete in Zhou Youguan's hand suddenly slipped away, and the branch as thick as his wrist was cut off directly.
"Your fans all say you're into gay men, and I think they're right. Niu Xixi is after you, and I think Wei Wei is too."
Zhou Youlan brought down the machete heavily, and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
He considers himself a straight man. At least until now he has never been attracted to anyone of the same sex, nor the opposite sex. There are beauties everywhere in the entertainment industry, but he just doesn't like any of them.
Over the years, he has been pursued by so many men and women that he can't even count them. Many girls were sad for a while after being rejected by him, and then there was no further contact, but some men were even more difficult to deal with than girls.
Some men even told him that they didn't need to develop a relationship with him, and that they just wanted to have a one-night stand with him, or to exchange some of his resources. This scared him so much that he developed a subconscious resistance to gay men who were extremely enthusiastic from the start.
And Wei Wei seemed to be the type who wanted to use the hype with him to gain resources for his own benefit.
The big monkey picked up the branch and said, "But with his condition, he won't be able to hold on for more than a few days. He'll be gone when he can't hold on any longer. If you're bothered by him, I'll find a way to get rid of him."
"How do we do this?" Zhou Youguan glanced at him, "What do you have in mind?"
The big monkey was filled with evil intentions, "That's easy, as long as we get him hurt, he'll have to quit. Anyway, the production team doesn't care about the guests' life or death. When there's no medicine to treat him, he has to stay alive first."
Zhou Youguan slapped him on the back of the head again, "What a stupid idea you have. Why would you hurt anyone?"
"So what do you mean?"
Zhou Youlan continued chopping branches. "Just scare them. They should give up."
“…” The big monkey curled his lips, as expected.
Zhou Youxuan looks tall and strong with a dark skin, and seems to be tough and hard. Not to say he is very vicious, but he has the violent temper of a wolf cub. However, in reality, he does not have the arrogance of a rich kid, nor is he as selfish and arrogant as those spoiled rich second-generations.
As long as his bottom line is not touched, he rarely loses his temper with others. Most of the time, he is more like a child, simple-minded and without any scheming.
If it weren't for the protection of the Zhou family, Zhou Youlan would probably have found it difficult to fight against those unscrupulous capitalists in the entertainment industry, a cannibalistic place like this.
By the time they returned to their campsite with the cut branches and leaves, the fire was already lit.
There are lots of dry leaves and branches here, and fires are easier to start in the jungle than in the rainforest.
But building a shelter is a difficult problem. Many people have never done it before and don’t know how to build it so that it can be stable and effectively block unexpected rain and mosquitoes that may invade from time to time.
While everyone was arguing and coming up with suggestions, Wei Wei had already started building.
He first laid a layer of thick branches at the bottom to separate it from the ground, then inserted two branches on the left and right sides at the same level, made a notch in the middle of the two upright branches, and then cut a branch with protrusions at both ends to make a crossbeam, and then placed the other branches in a dense manner and diagonally on the ground and the crossbeam.
The main reason for dense paving is that there are many coniferous plants nearby, and the leaves picked are mostly needle-shaped plants with slender and sparse petals, which cannot cover a large area at one time like broad-leaved plants, so we can only bring the branches closer together.
Wei Wei had just observed the pine cones on the trees in the pine forest. Most of the pine cone scales were naturally open and not closed, proving that the weather had been dry in recent days. In addition, the stars were bright, so it shouldn't rain tonight. Therefore, the leaves on the top could be used less as a blanket, just enough to keep some mosquitoes out of the trees.
The opening should face the fire, and a few bunches of leaves should be hung upside down. When the wind blows, the leaves will shake and mosquitoes will not dare to approach, and there will not be a situation where large groups of mosquitoes surround and bite people.
He was very fast, skilled and orderly, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.
"A tilted shelter." Zhou Youlan said.
Wei Wei nodded without saying anything. When he was fighting with his father and brothers, the soldiers basically built "tents" for short-term use in the wild at night. This method could accommodate many people to sleep together, and it could also quickly organize the team to respond when encountering attacks from enemy troops or wild beasts.
Zhou Youguan didn't expect Wei Wei to know this. Although it was not a difficult operation, it did require some experience to complete it so neatly and orderly.
"Is this stable?" Chen Nan patted the wooden supports at both ends. "It's like a shoddy construction project. It won't collapse while you're sleeping, will it? I'll be crushed to death."
He didn't believe that Wei Wei could understand these things. "Don't just watch a few videos and try to imitate them. Are you crazy trying to show off?"
The others also curled their lips and said, "That's it."
"Won't."
It was Zhou Youxuan who first proved Wei Wei's point. He saw how deep Wei Wei had inserted the wood into the ground, and it would not fall down unless there was a strong wind.
"If you're worried about it falling, you can find two trees to use as support beams on both sides." Zhou Youguan also started working. "Use the two tree trunks as support beams at both ends to build a tilted forest shelter. It will be much more convenient to use local materials. We have two trees here."
Several people came over to help him lift the branch. Someone scratched his hand on the broken branch, and Zhou Youguan asked them to be careful.
A branch that cannot be cut with one knife will become sharp after being cut several times, and you will easily cut your hand if you are not careful.
"These are quite neat, and look like they were cut with a single knife. Who cut them?"
No one responded when they went to cut the branches, and no one paid much attention in the chaos.
"First, lay a layer of branches at the bottom to separate it from the ground, just like..." Zhou Youguan paused and glanced at Wei Wei, "just like he did just now. This is to prevent being bitten by snakes, insects, or ants while sleeping. Remember the right triangle we used in school? The top of the inclined shelter is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Do you understand this?"
Everyone suddenly realized: "I understand."
There are many of them, and this shelter can accommodate a few more people sleeping together, allowing them to squeeze together and spend the night.
Besides, it was already dark, and they didn't have the extra energy to go into the woods and cut down trees.
[Although the beautiful woman and handsome man caused trouble at the beginning, it seems that there is something to it]
Wei Wei is quite skillful.
[It’s only the first day, and they seem exhausted. How are they going to proceed?]
The live broadcast room is kept open at all times. The program team has its own Internet equipment, so they can shoot real-time images into the live broadcast room even in the deep mountains and forests.
The program team has arranged for the guests to independently record the interactive session for one hour, which means that during this hour the guests can interact freely with the audience in the live broadcast room, but only one person is allowed at a time, and they can take turns freely.
But everyone was too tired, their clothes were stained with sweat, and their hair was a mess. No one wanted to appear in such a bad image.
The equipment Zhao Jie chose on her own was a bag of compressed biscuits. She was not stingy and shared all the compressed biscuits with everyone. However, there were too many people and one compressed biscuit was only enough for three people to share equally, and it was gone in two or three bites.
It was too dark, and it was unrealistic for them to look for food without lighting, nor was it practical to go to the river to catch fish, so they could only eat a few bites to fill their stomachs for the time being and make plans for food tomorrow morning.
A total of four shelters were built, with the female guests living in one and the male guests living in the other three.
The one built by Wei Wei was just enough for two people to rest. After all, it was built by Wei Wei himself, so others would feel embarrassed to come and occupy it.
After Zhou Youlan assigned everyone a place, in the end only Wei Wei's place had an empty place to sleep.
Wei Wei originally planned to sleep with Zhou Youlan. If they were too far apart, he would not be able to respond in time if anything happened at night.
Everyone had already gone into the shelter they had built to rest. Wei Wei took his backpack and placed it next to a tree branch, then looked up at Zhou Youguan, obviously waiting for him.
Zhou Youlan wanted to switch places with the big monkey, but the big monkey was busy getting close to the female star and was unwilling to change places with Zhou Youlan.
The firewood crackled softly as everyone else went into the shelter to take a break.
Seeing Zhou Youguan looking around, Wei Wei said, "Everyone has rested, so we have to squeeze in."
There are countless poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains and wilds. If you are not careful, you may die from these poisonous creatures. It is safest for Zhou Youguan to stay with him.
Zhou Youlan: “…”
Zhou Youxuan said with a straight face: "I'm a straight man."
Wei Wei took off his shoes and hung them upside down on a branch beside him, then he pulled his backpack over and lay down. "Yeah."
Wei Wei's "hmm" sounded like he was pretending to be stupid to Zhou Youlan. He was upset but had no way to vent, so he sat back by the fire and added more wood.
She stayed up until midnight with her eyelids drooping, and finally lay down next to Wei Wei. Wei Wei closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if he was asleep.
Zhou Youwan thought that Wei Wei never missed any opportunity to use him as a topic to stir up discussion. If he woke up tomorrow and saw him sleeping here, he would probably be very happy.
