Chapter 54 You are so cruel! You want to take a bath with Brother Wei?
Wei Wei stood aside and tilted his ear slightly. After he could no longer see, his hearing became much more sensitive.
After hearing Zhou Youguan's conversation, he probably guessed something and estimated that Li Rongsheng was upset again.
I don’t know what happened to Li Rongsheng, but she was obviously not in a good mood.
Zhou Youlan: "If you're feeling too tired, I hope you prioritize your health. This is inherently a challenging process, but success doesn't just come from reaching the finish line."
"I'm not leaving, Brother Zhou. You don't need to try to persuade me. I know what's going on. I'm fine." Li Rongsheng took his backpack and put it beside him. "You guys can go first. You don't have to wait for me."
"Stop talking nonsense." Ruan Mengmeng came over to help her carry her backpack. "This is a rainforest. It's dangerous for us to walk in a group. It's even more dangerous for you to walk alone."
"Yes, we understand that you're injured and feeling uncomfortable, but it's really dangerous for you to stay here alone."
"Li Rongsheng, it's okay for us to take you with us. We form a team to help each other, so don't feel any pressure."
"Let's go! It's getting dark. If you delay any longer you won't be able to see anything."
"What's going on now? Can you please stop throwing tantrums? Leave when you need to, rest when you need to, and quit if you can't stand it anymore. We have to take care of your emotions when surviving in the wild. Are you here to be the boss?"
The big monkey always spoke directly and without giving face, so after being scolded by him, everyone fell silent.
Seeing Li Rongsheng's hesitation, Chen Nan immediately became angry: "What the hell are you doing? You're not going to stop making trouble, are you?"
"What's it to you? Didn't I tell you not to bother with it?"
Chen Nan glared angrily: "Ugly people often do bad things."
Hearing this curse, Li Rong stood up in anger, walked tremblingly to him, and pushed him, "What's it to you? Did I ask you to take care of it? Did I need you to take care of it? Did I say anything about you when you were holding me back? What qualifications do you have to scold me?"
Li Rongsheng suddenly lost control of his emotions, grabbed Chen Nan's backpack strap and slapped him in the face, and the two started arguing from then on.
Everyone had a lot of trouble pulling the two apart. Li Rongsheng's reaction today was shocking. She was usually the one who spoke the least and was the most obedient, so why was she like this today?
"Shut up!" Zhou Youguan yelled at Chen Nan, "Ke Feiyang, take him away."
Chen Nan was pulled away by Ke Feiyang with an angry face. Li Rongsheng started crying softly. No one knew what was wrong with her today. However, it was difficult to see sunlight under the woods, and the difference between night and day was not much. It was normal for her mood to become depressed and irritable.
"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break and then we can continue our journey."
Lin Yue and Ruan Mengmeng helped Li Rongsheng to rest aside. The two took turns to comfort and persuade him, and only then did Li Rongsheng stop crying.
"How are you?"
Wei Wei hummed in agreement, "We should be able to get out of this poisonous forest in half a day. It's hard to predict whether it will rain here. If it rains, the river will probably rise."
That way they might expand the detour and waste more time.
"So what do you suggest?"
Wei Wei said, "It's best to leave at night."
Zhou Youguan was a little hesitant, but then he thought that there was not much difference between night and day here, so he might as well keep going and get out of this dangerous poisonous forest as soon as possible.
"Then we'll leave tonight. I'll go inform everyone." Zhou Youguan brought the water to his lips. "Drink some water. Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
Wei Wei couldn't see, so they had to find food on their own. They only found some plant roots and some non-toxic insects on the way, which was enough to fill their stomachs.
It seemed that only when Wei Wei was around could they eat meat.
"Then just sit still. I'll go check on Li Rongsheng and then I'll take you with me when we leave."
Regardless of whether Li Rongsheng leaves or not, they have to take her with them this time unless Li Rongsheng wants to quit.
But even if they want to quit the show, they have to get out of this poisonous forest, otherwise the helicopter will not be able to find them.
It took them two days to finally get back to their original route. They slowly approached the river, and the sky cleared up and they finally felt the sun shining towards them.
Everyone couldn't wait to run to the water to wash. Zhou Youguan filled a pot of clean water and came back to help Wei Wei wash his hands and face.
"You can't touch the water with your hands."
Zhou Youxuan looked at the wounds on his hands. The places where he was bitten by the snake had shown signs of healing. He also kept applying medicine on his face. This was mainly because Wei Wei reminded him to take the medicine every time on the road, and his timing was more accurate than a watch.
"I know, but I haven't encountered it much."
Zhou Youxuan caught a glimpse of Chen Nan limping to the river. He reminded him to be careful not to fall into the water. Chen Nan responded, but the next second he heard Chen Nan's scream of fear.
The river had obviously risen and fallen, and the dead fish in the grass had already given off a foul smell under the scorching sun, and ants were gnawing at its body. However, the most unfortunate thing was that Chen Nan stepped on the dead fish, and the ants instantly crawled up his legs and onto his body.
Chen Nan was so frightened that he even dropped the branch and shook his feet violently, trying to shake off the ants.
But ants are tiny and can squeeze through every narrow gap. His legs were so swollen that he couldn't even tie his shoelaces. His shoes were barely covering the wrapping, and the laces were not tied tightly. His trouser legs were also loose, and the ants were almost crawling all over his legs.
Zhou Youxuan hurried over to check it out. The army ants, which could gnaw pythons and elephants until only bones were left, were a terrifying existence in the rainforest, even to people and many large animals.
Army ants almost always move out in groups, and whenever they appear, tens of thousands of them leave the nest together. It is obvious that this dead fish has been almost eaten clean by these army ants.
Normally it would be fine if you just wrapped your trouser legs tightly and swept them clean, at most you would get bitten a few times. But unfortunately, the wound on Chen Nan's leg had not healed yet, and army ants loved the smell of bloody rotten meat.
Chen Nan fell to the ground, trying to drive away the ants that were crawling all over his body. His face was ferocious with fear, and no matter how he slapped them, it was useless. The ants were densely packed all over his legs, which made people's scalps tingle.
Last time it was spiders, this time it was ants. Chen Nan seemed to be entangled with these things that were not very harmful but were torturous enough. The most disgusting thing was that the ants drilled into his flesh from the wound, just like gnawing on other animals, drilling under the skin and biting out from the inside.
Chen Nan clearly felt the dense and painful wounds on his legs, which was the feeling of being bitten by ants.
He hugged his thigh, his eyes bulging with pain, "Help!!"
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, save me!" He shouted to Zhou Youguan, "It hurts so much."
Zhou Youxuan picked up some palm leaves and used them to clean his legs. The others were stunned for a moment, then picked up a few leaves and used them to clean and pat Chen Nan's legs.
But it obviously had no effect. His trouser legs were full of ants. He only cleared those on the surface, but there were still some inside his pants.
Zhou Youxuan stepped forward and held him up: "Quick, take off your pants."
Chen Nan could not bear the pain from the ants biting him. Not only the injured leg, but the other leg was also affected. The ants crawled into his trouser legs and socks from the opening of his shoes. He could only take care of one side but not the other. He was tugging at his belt but his movements were trembling and he couldn't pull it down for a long time.
Zhou Youguan reached out to help, but was stopped by the big monkey: "Brother, don't do it, or the ants will crawl on you."
Wei Wei could only follow the sound of Chen Nan's sobs and fear. The ground was relatively flat, and when he heard the big monkey telling Zhou Youxuan not to get involved, he quickly walked to Zhou Youxuan's side.
But Zhou Youguan did not hesitate, fearing that there would be ants under Chen Nan's clothes and pants, which would be troublesome.
Before his hand touched Chen Nan, he was grabbed by Wei Wei. He didn't know when Wei Wei came behind him.
"There are so many ants. Go back quickly."
Everyone else stepped back a meter or two, fearing they would be affected by the dense swarm of ants, but Wei Wei stood right next to him.
Zhou Youxuan wanted to push him away again, but Chen Nan grabbed his arm like a life-saving straw and he couldn't retreat.
"Go away." Zhou Youlan said in a somewhat anxious tone.
Wei Wei's pupils were dark, but now they seemed numb because of his blindness. He glanced away and listened carefully: "Which direction is the river?"
Chen Nan cried out in pain, and because her belt was so tight that she couldn't take it off, she became frustrated and cried.
"Your left."
Wei Wei held Zhou Youguan's shoulders and pulled him away, then leaned over and grabbed Chen Nan's clothes on his chest, pulled him up from the ground and threw him into the river like a ball.
Everyone: “!”
Chen Nan was such a heavy person, but Wei Wei only needed one hand to lift him up and even threw him in a parabola in the air.
Chen Nan splashed a circle of water on the water surface, and the vortex created was slightly deep. Those who didn't know might think that Wei Wei was taking revenge.
"Brother Wei?"
"Oh my god, Brother Wei is so cruel..."
"OMG!"
Chen Nan was dazed when he fell into the water. The fear of flying in the air had not yet dissipated when he fell into the water again and choked on his chest.
"Brother Wei, why did you throw him into the water..." Zhang Longtong whispered, "Even if you want to punish him, you should find a different way. This is too obvious."
Wei Wei's expression was calm. Even though he couldn't see, he wasn't anxious or timid like the others. His aura of being able to dominate everything with ease still made people want to submit to him and rely on him.
"Are you stupid?" the monkey patted his head and said, "Don't you know that ants are afraid of water?"
Zhou Youxuan stepped forward, grabbed Wei Wei's hand, and hurried forward, retreating two or three meters away from the ant pit.
Chen Nan could swim. He swam to the shore by himself after a few splashes in the water. Ke Feiyang went up to him and saw that there were still some ants on his clothes. "You should swim for a while longer. You haven't finished shedding all the ants on your body yet."
After falling into the water, the pain in his legs was obviously subsiding. Chen Nan fell back into the water and soaked in it, treating it as a bath.
Not to mention, he was really grateful to Wei Wei for throwing him away. At least it prevented him from continuing to suffer the pain of being bitten by ants.
After soaking for almost ten minutes, everyone finally rescued Chen Nan.
Chen Nan took off his wet clothes. His body was covered with red and swollen lumps caused by ant bites, big and small, and the most serious ones were on his legs.
There were old wounds and new wounds added to them. Many tiny holes were bitten on the original wounds, and some of the holes had half of the corpses of ants in them. It was really scary to look at.
Zhou Youguan and Wang Daodao shook their heads regretfully after examining your wound. Zhou Youguan said, "Your wound can't be treated with medication alone, and our medicine isn't specifically targeted. We're not sure if there are still ants under your skin. If there are, it could cause inflammation from within, and if it gets inside, I'm afraid surgery will be necessary to clean it out."
"Chen Nan, your injury is very serious."
Zhou Youlan's meaning was very clear. He couldn't continue walking in his current condition. If he continued walking, his leg might be delayed beyond the optimal treatment time, and he might even lose his life.
"Chen Nan, you'd better withdraw." Wang Daodao advised kindly, "Get treatment in time, otherwise your legs will really be at risk of disability."
Chen Nan didn't say anything. He obviously understood his physical condition.
But he still couldn't help but hesitate, because he came here just for the bonus.
The salary from the gym is barely enough to make ends meet. I can sometimes get some tips from personal training by coaxing a few wealthy women into giving me a try, but how long can I live like this?
He came to this program for the prize money, and another purpose was to get close to a few celebrities, no matter whether they were famous or not, no matter whether they had a good or bad reputation, as long as he could become famous and have topics to talk about, he would not have to worry about his life in the future after he went out and created an account and became an Internet celebrity.
I originally thought that if I could hook up with a few celebrities, I could become an internet celebrity. As long as he could become famous and have attention, he could make money by maintaining an account.
But compared to making money, life is definitely more important.
He suddenly realized that none of the people he had tried to curry favor with were willing to save him when he was in danger, but Wei Wei, the person he despised the most, was actually willing to help him...
In the end, Chen Nan pressed the survival button.
They walked a little further and found a relatively dry spot not far from the river to rest. Since the helicopter to pick up Chen Nan hadn't arrived yet, they had escaped the poisonous boxwood trees overnight, which was considered a good thing.
Kang Xiang touched his neck and could find a fingernail full of black mud. "It's really uncomfortable. I've been under the tree for the past few days. Although there's no wind or rain, I must have sweated a couple of pounds. My body is really sticky."
"Hey, why don't we go to the river and take a bath." Kang Xiang invited Ke Feiyang to join him. "Let's go take a bath and see if we can catch any fish. I think there is running water over there. The river water is always flowing, so there must be fish."
After he said that, everyone became excited. After all, everyone had to be self-sufficient here. There was also the fish trap made by Wei Wei. Maybe we could catch some fish if we put it by the river.
Zhang Longtong hurriedly packed his backpack: "I'm going too. I haven't washed in days and I feel like I stink."
The big monkey had already taken out clean clothes from his backpack and said, "Let's go together."
Zhang Longtong turned around and saw Wei Wei sitting quietly beside him. "Brother Wei, are you going? I'll take you."
Wei Wei shook his head. He also wanted to take a shower, but not with them.
"You guys go, I'll take Wei Wei there later." Zhou Youguan said as he lit a fire.
"Ah?" Zhang Longyi teased with an ambiguous look on his face, "You want to take a bath with Brother Wei?"
Wei Wei pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhou Youguan raised a branch to drive him away, "Hurry up and go. After you wash, come back and set up a shelter. We will rest here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."
Except for Zhou Youguan, Wei Wei, and Chen Nan who was about to withdraw, the other male guests went to the river to bathe and catch fish. Ruan Mengmeng and the others had to wait until dark to go, as it was not convenient for them during the day.
Zhou Youguan was carrying firewood to make a fire for Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue. After the fire was lit, he went to find branches to build a place to sleep at night. There were many mosquitoes here, so he had to pick more leaves to cover them.
Wei Wei couldn't see and couldn't help. Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't help at all, but Zhou Youguan didn't let him move, so he had to sit still.
There was a noise in his ears. Wei Wei turned his head slightly and smelled a faint fishy smell of river water.
It’s Chen Nan.
Wei Wei didn't know what Chen Nan was going to do, but he didn't sense any malice or danger, so he just sat there without moving.
Chen Nan also took advantage of the time when there were few people around to muster up the courage to come over and talk to Wei Wei, but when he sat next to Wei Wei, he felt a little embarrassed to speak.
Fortunately, Wei Wei couldn't see him like this now, otherwise Wei Wei's cold and contemptuous look would be enough to humiliate him.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Wei Wei felt that his breathing was sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, and sometimes slow. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Chen Nan hesitated for a long time: "I apologize to you for my previous... narrow-mindedness. I'm sorry."
Wei Wei raised his eyebrows slightly. What was wrong with these people? It seemed that they all liked to apologize to him before leaving.
"To be honest, I had a very bad impression of you at first, and I was indeed prejudiced. I thought you were a useless vase except for your face."
Chen Nan felt that a man who looked like this was not a man at all.
But later I found out that Wei Wei was the most manly one among this group of men.
Although they looked much stronger than Wei Wei, they were often not as courageous as their thin-looking counterparts, nor could they be as calm and composed as Wei Wei in the face of danger.
In fact, he admired Wei Wei very much, both for his ability and for his character.
But he knew that he was such a selfish and narrow-minded person, and he would never be able to become friends with Wei Wei, because the other party would definitely look down on his character.
He didn't have any extravagant expectations, but he was afraid that he would never meet a strange man like Wei Wei again.
Before leaving, Chen Nan couldn't help but stare at Wei Wei for a long time. He had scoffed at the idea of a man with such a face at first, but now it seemed that Wei Wei's face was obviously a rare beauty.
Wei Wei was born with this kind of appearance, which is what Wei Wei should look like.
If the corners of his eyes were any narrower, he would have lost the natural allure and allure of his eyes. Without the red mole between his eyebrows, he would have lost some of the compassion and kindness that he could not give up despite his coldness.
Chen Nan thought that perhaps the most handsome person he had ever seen in his life was Wei Wei.
I haven't seen it before, and I may never see it again.
What a pity.
Chen Nan left his equipment to Wei Wei, although Wei Wei did not respond to his kindness the whole time.
If Wei Wei had had this attitude before, he would definitely be angry, wondering why someone like Wei Wei could be so arrogant.
But now he felt that whatever Wei Wei did was just fine. He had his own reasons, and it was okay for him to ignore him. That was just Wei Wei's personality, and forcing him was wrong...
He gave the thing to Ruan Mengmeng and asked her to pass it on. If Wei Wei didn't want it, he would let her keep it, as maybe she would need it someday.
Ruan Mengmeng put her things into her backpack and saw Li Rongsheng resting with her eyes closed. She called out softly, "Shengsheng."
Li Rongsheng opened his eyes, his face looking tired.
"If you're uncomfortable like this, then..." Ruan Mengmeng looked embarrassed, "Why don't you go with Chen Nan?"
She didn't think Li Rongsheng would be a drag or anything, she just thought that Li Rongsheng would hurt his body if he dragged his feet like this. If something really happened, there was no need to insist on participating in such a program.
If it were just other minor injuries, it would be fine, but Li Rongsheng was contaminated by the venom of those rattling box trees. Those trees are very poisonous. Li Rongsheng must be suffering all the time now, so it is better for him to leave here.
Li Rongsheng shook his head: "It doesn't matter to me. I'll just go wherever I want. When I can't hold on any longer, I'll leave."
Unable to persuade her, Ruan Mengmeng had no choice but to follow her idea.
When it got dark, Chen Nan had already left the program crew, and Kang Xiang and the others had also returned from taking a shower. They also caught a few small fish and shrimps. Although the quantity was not much, everyone made a soup with some tree roots or something stewed in it, which was enough to fill their stomachs.
After eating and drinking, Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue went to take a bath. Kang Xiang and others said that they had dug a small drainage ditch at one end of the river, and used fine dry grass and some branches to filter out the residue and leaves. Although the water was not very clear, it was enough for bathing.
In such an environment, this is the only extent we can achieve.
Ruan Mengmeng praised: "Not bad, Zhang Longzong, you can even think of this level."
"Well, it wasn't them who came up with it, it was me who came up with it," Wang Chunqin said, taking credit for the work. "I dug it out bit by bit with a branch, and my hands got blisters from all that digging."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, you have worked hard."
The bath water just needs to be slightly clean, nothing else is required, but Ruan Mengmeng said: "Brother Zhou, why don't you and Zhang Longtong accompany us."
Although the river was surrounded by trees, it was too dark and they were really scared. She couldn't trust anyone else, but she could completely trust Zhou Youlan and Wei Wei.
But she didn't have the nerve to ask them to let them out for some fresh air so they could take a good bath, as if she was ordering them around.
Zhou Youlan understood what she meant and let them go by themselves. He was indeed worried, and he also had to go and take a shower.
"good."
Zhou Youxuan picked up his backpack, and before he asked Wei Wei if he still wanted to go, Wei Wei had already stood up.
Zhou Youxuan curled his lips, kicked away the branches on the ground, and stretched out his arm for Wei Wei to hold on to: "The branches have been burned as firewood, you hold me."
The others glanced at him jokingly and with disdain, but no one pointed the finger at him.
Wei Wei originally supported Zhou Youxuan, but later Zhou Youxuan held his wrist because Wei Wei said the road was too bumpy.
Wang Chunqin also followed, and on the way, he attentively helped Lin Yue hold her bag and show her the way.
Now that the most prestigious Zhao Guanjun and Zhao Jie are gone, Lin Yue is the most famous person here. He still needs to improve his favorability, as he might need it someday.
The three of them stood guard outside, shouting from time to time to confirm safety.
Zhou Youguan was worried about Wei Wei standing alone in one direction, so he could only walk back and forth, watching for any hidden dangers around him and also watching Wei Wei.
In addition to the three of them, there were two other people in the dark. The breeze at night covered up the breathing sounds, and Wei Wei did not notice the two breathing sounds for a while.
Lao Gui and Wang Ren walked in two different directions. Wang Ren was on the side closer to Wei Wei, and Lao Gui was lying on the grass slope on this side, looking at the two figures below. He took out a camera from his bag.

The author has something to say: Du Gong: If you dare to peek, you will lose your eyes.
Lao Gui: You are a fake blind man, I will become a real blind man
