Chapter 56 It’s a pity to protect someone
"Why wouldn't you?" Zhou Youguan looked at his beautiful, lifeless eyes, staring at him. "You can't see now. Who would believe you for hurting his eyes?"
What is the connection between belief and disbelief and why?
Wei Wei turned around and listened to the old ghost's miserable cry with an expressionless face.
"Will he be convicted?"
Zhou Youguan lowered his eyes, his emotions fluctuating rapidly. But after making up his mind, he calmed down. "Well, as long as he sues, it's inevitable."
Lao Gui would not fail to sue. The conflict between them has been deep-rooted, and now he is blind in one eye. This hatred cannot be eliminated.
"What a pity." Wei Wei murmured softly.
"?" Zhou Youlan was puzzled. "What's a pity?"
Wang Chunqin came to his senses and did not dare to approach Wei Wei. He just sat there and looked up at Wei Wei.
Wei Wei said calmly, "It's time to cripple his other eye as well."
They will be convicted anyway, so what difference does it make between one and two?
For such a despicable person, it is a bargain for him to just lose his eyes.
Zhou Youlan: “…”
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunqin stepped back and couldn't help but feel fear towards Wei Wei.
Seeing the staff gathered around, Zhou Youxuan pulled Wei Wei behind him and said to Wang Chunqin, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you hear me?"
In fact, Zhou Youlan’s words had no deterrent effect at all. After all, Wang Chunqin was also a victim. Moreover, he was asking the other party to remain silent, which was to drag the other party into the position of accomplice.
Ruan Mengmeng shone the flashlight in her hand on the old ghost. At the same time, the staff also turned on their own lighting equipment. They all screamed in fright and took a few steps back.
A dark red blood hole appeared on the old ghost's eye. His face and palms were covered in blood. He rolled on the ground while covering the wound, and was covered with mud and dead leaves, looking extremely miserable.
Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue supported each other, the flashlights in their hands fell to the ground, and they subconsciously ran behind Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei.
"What's going on?" the staff asked. "What's going on?"
There were too many people and the cameraman was still broadcasting live. However, when he saw Lao Gui's wound, he immediately turned the camera around. The audience in the live broadcast room only saw a few seconds of footage, which was shaky and messy.
【???】
What the hell is this bloody thing?
[This is what happened. I think someone's eyes were injured.]
[Oh my god, it seems someone’s eyes are bleeding]
[So scary]
【Is Wei Wei injured?】
Zhou Youxuan pulled all the staff aside and told them about Lao Gui's secret filming.
"What did you say?" The staff member was obviously surprised, probably also thinking about what had happened. "What about his eyes...?"
"I hurt him," Zhou Youxuan took the blame. "I pressed him for the camera's memory card, and he used it as a threat to get me to let him go. To avoid future trouble, I injured his eye."
"You," the staff member felt a chill in his heart, "Are you confused?"
The other party hurried back to contact the director team. Such an unexpected incident was really beyond their expectations.
If a guest was injured naturally, the responsibility would not be attributed to other people or the program team, but now the guests are hurting each other, the nature of the matter has changed.
Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue gradually recovered. They helped Wang Chunqin up from the ground. Wang Chunqin whispered a few words in their ears, telling them about the old ghost's evil deeds. The two couldn't help but feel scared.
"Go find the memory card quickly while he is still there," said Wang Chunqin.
The injuries on his body were severe and the pain was unbearable. He could not help much and could only tell them to go find it themselves.
He is also a public figure, and as a star he has always been in the spotlight. Lao Gui just wants to use these photos as bargaining chips to threaten them in the future. This kind of thing is like a time bomb for anyone. He also knows the difficulties of female stars in the circle, and he doesn't want them to think about this matter every day and feel uneasy all day long.
Why did Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue pick up the flashlight and search around the old ghost?
It was much easier to find with the light. After being injured by Wei Wei, Lao Gui didn't care about anything and threw the memory card in his hand to the ground. Fortunately, it was not as small as a mobile phone memory card. When Ruan Mengmeng found it, she held it tightly in her hand. She touched the sleeve arrow given to her by Wei Wei on her wrist, and she wanted to shoot Lao Gui with an arrow.
The two picked up the camera from the ground, took out the memory card and checked it aside. When they saw the first photo, Ruan Mengmeng hurriedly put the camera in her arms.
Although they were not all naked and were still wearing underwear, this angle was obviously a candid shot.
She looked at Lin Yue in horror, her hands shaking with anger.
Ruan Mengmeng was furious for a moment and couldn't help crying. "I was bullied by unfair terms in the company. I terminated my contract just to get the bonus, but ended up being treated like this... Why am I so unlucky?"
Lin Yue hugged her and wiped away her tears quietly. Fortunately, Wang Chunqin and the others discovered it in time, and fortunately, they found the camera.
The director called soon and asked the group to close the live broadcast room. He then found Zhou Youlan directly and asked him what happened.
The program team still wanted evidence, and Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue took the initiative to testify that there were indeed photos of them in the camera, and the angles were also secretly taken. Wang Chunqin also proved that he tried to stop Lao Gui after discovering that he was secretly taking photos, but was beaten instead.
Lao Gui certainly cannot escape the accusation, but it is impossible to define the injury to Lao Gui for the time being. After all, it happened during the coercion process, and it is hard to say whether it was intentional or unintentional.
But considering Lao Gui’s current condition, he definitely can’t continue recording.
When Wang Ren arrived, Lao Gui had already calmed down, perhaps because he was numb from the pain. But when the staff asked him to press the survival button, Lao Gui was unwilling to do so, so the program team had to notify Wang Ren.
They are in the same group and are good friends. Lao Gui should listen to what Wang Ren says.
After treatment, the bleeding in Lao Gui's eye has stopped, but he has been delaying leaving the program crew to receive treatment, so this eye of his is probably really ruined.
The program staff asked Wang Ren to persuade him and suggested that he get treatment as soon as possible.
Seeing Wang Ren coming, the old ghost finally spoke: "Yes, Wei Wei."
The only person who could injure Lao Gui like this was Wei Wei. When the program crew told him that Lao Gui was injured by Zhou Youlan, the first person he thought of was Wei Wei.
This could only be Wei Wei's work.
Zhou Youlan couldn't bring himself to do such a harsh thing, and most people wouldn't do it either. Only Wei Wei could do such a cruel and vicious thing.
"How is it?" The camera crew leader came over. "His injuries must be treated in the hospital, otherwise his life will be in danger."
"I won't leave." The old ghost said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I won't leave."
If he left, this trip would be in vain, and Wang Ren would also lose a helper.
Wang Ren didn't say much, pressed the survival button for him, and directly helped him make the decision to withdraw from the program recording.
In fact, this also saved the program team trouble. What Lao Gui did to the female guest had violated the program rules, and he was originally going to be removed. But if Lao Gui took the initiative to withdraw first, the subsequent statement of the program team would not cause too much heated discussion.
"Brother!" The old ghost was obviously unwilling.
Wang Ren: "Go back and recuperate, go to the old place."
"But"
"I'll take care of the rest." Wang Ren patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I won't let you lose an eye in vain."
After the staff member left, Wang Ren lowered his voice and said, "There's still a month left. Come back in after a while."
Old Ghost: "I understand."
Wang Ren did not intend to pursue the matter. His meaning was the same as Lao Gui's. Zhou Youlan and the others were actually quite surprised to hear Wang Ren say this. Losing an eye is not a trivial matter, but Wang Ren said that Lao Gui would not pursue the matter.
I originally thought that there would be an argument, but I didn't expect Wang Ren to say that neither side would pursue the matter, and the matter was just put to rest.
Although everything was caused by the old ghost, they really couldn't understand why no one was held accountable for losing an eye.
But I think it was for Wei Wei, otherwise Wang Ren would not let him go so easily.
This matter has come to an end.
Everyone returned to the camp. Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue supported Wang Chunqin. He boasted all the way about how he competed with Lao Gui for the camera, praising himself as extremely brave. He also told them that it was actually Wei Wei who blinded Lao Gui's eyes, and Zhou Youguan was just taking the blame for Wei Wei. Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue were not surprised to hear this, and just said that they knew it.
"Aren't you all surprised or scared?" Wang Chunqin didn't understand. He turned around and looked around like a thief. "Wei Wei, he really can't see, but he can still stab the knife into someone's eyes so accurately. It's so terrifying!"
He felt that no matter who it was, knowing that Wei Wei was such a cruel and ruthless person, he would be terrified.
Now, just thinking about the scene of Wei Wei sticking the knife into the old ghost's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Thinking about how he treated Wei Wei in the past, Wei Wei even pulled a knife on him, he was really patient with him.
Ruan Mengmeng was full of admiration: "Brother Wei can't see but still use the knife so accurately, it's amazing!"
Lin Yue also said: "How did he do it? It's dark now and I can't walk without a light. He can actually stab so accurately."
"Yes, Sister Lin Yue, just how capable is Brother Wei? He's incredible."
"It's just that I'm too old. Otherwise, if I were ten years younger, I might really want to take Wei Wei down."
Wang Chunqin: “?”
The two of them joked around, and the fog in their hearts gradually dissipated.
Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei were the last to come. Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue had already taken the memory card away and destroyed it, so they had solved a troublesome problem.
After such a busy night, they didn't even take a shower.
After Wang Ren left, Zhou Youlan asked Wei Wei if he wanted to take a shower. Although he was probably not in the mood after experiencing such a terrible thing, he had finally found a relatively clean water source, and he didn't know if he would have another chance if he went further.
"wash."
Wei Wei could still smell the residual blood on his hands, which was very unpleasant.
Zhou Youlan thought that Wei Wei would be in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that Wei Wei was as calm as ever.
"Then go ahead and I'll keep you posted."
Zhou Youxuan helped him down to the riverside. Seeing that the riverside was full of potholes, he was worried that if Wei Wei took a wrong step, he would fall into the river.
He was a little worried, but afraid that if he said it out loud, it would seem like he had other thoughts.
"I'm nearby, call me if you need anything."
Wei Wei knew he wouldn't be too far away, so he just said, "Go wait where we were originally. I'll call you if there's anything."
“…It’s too far.”
Before, it was because Ruan Mengmeng and the others were girls, so the other boys stayed away from them and kept their distance. He and Wei Wei are both men, so there is no need for them to stay so far away. Besides, Wei Wei is in such an inconvenient situation now, so he can help in time by being by his side.
Wei Wei was still stubborn: "I can do it myself."
Seeing Wei Wei's furrowed brows, Zhou Youguan knew that although Wei Wei always looked good-tempered, he hated nonsense the most. So he stopped arguing with him and obediently retreated to a distance.
After confirming that there was no one around, Wei Wei took off his clothes and went into the water.
It’s not that he was being coy, it’s just that his body couldn’t be seen by others.
There was a clear ripple on the water surface slowly coming towards him. Because there was no sound, he could not hear it. The ripple disappeared beside him.
Wei Wei scooped up water and splashed it on himself. The movement under the water was getting closer and closer. The wrist that Wei Wei stretched into the water was suddenly clamped, and a strong force pulled him into the water.
Wang Ren swam in from somewhere. After pulling Wei Wei into the water, he dragged him and swam in the direction they came from.
One of them struggled to break free from the other's restraints, causing the water to ripple.
Wei Wei's movement speed in the water was not affected, but Wang Ren didn't know where he came up with the idea. When he held his hand, he actually tied their hands together first, so that they would sink together and live together.
The moment he emerged, Wang Ren said, "Just a few words, don't get so excited, or do you want to stay in the water and talk?"
He pulled Wei Wei to leave, but Wei Wei didn't move.
It was obvious that Wei Wei didn't want to go ashore with him. Wei Wei had a sullen face. Not being able to see really caused a lot of trouble. Wang Ren didn't even notice him when he touched him, which led to his current embarrassment.
Wang Ren didn't force him to go ashore, but just stared at him for a long time. "You are so cruel even though you can't see. You don't even want to leave my brother any chance of survival."
"How are your eyes? Are they okay?" Wang Ren snorted and laughed. "Ahu blinded your eyes first, and now you blinded my brother's eye. It's not just for those two female stars, right?"
Wei Wei pursed his lips and remained silent. Wang Ren was right and he did not deny it.
Blinding Laogui's eyes is not only to teach him a lesson, nor is it only to seek justice for the two female guests, but also to "repay" Ahu for the evil he did to him.
"But at least you're not really blind, are you? As far as I know, you're just temporarily poisoned. Once the poison wears off, your eyes will slowly recover." Wang Ren leaned forward, almost nose to nose with Wei Wei. "But you, you just crippled one of the old ghost's eyes."
He had seen Lao Gui's wounds, and no matter how advanced the medical technology was, there was no way to make Lao Gui have a healthy eye again.
Being blind for a while and being blind for a lifetime are two different things.
Wei Wei is really vindictive. If someone hurts him three points, he will take revenge ten times.
"How is it?" Wei Wei's face darkened. "Or do you want to try what it's like to be blind?"
The fact that Wang Ren could touch here proved that he had been hiding nearby for a long time. When he took off his clothes just now, Wang Ren would not have failed to notice it.
Wang Ren laughed: "You really are covered in thorns. Even if I stroke your fur, you will get pricked."
Without continuing the topic, Wang Ren looked down at the scars on Wei Wei's body. There were more scars than on his. The most horrifying one was a long scar connecting his chest and collarbone, which looked like a knife wound.
"How did you get this scar on your chest?"
Wei Wei struggled to untie the straw ropes that bound them together and took a few steps away from Wang Ren, obviously not wanting to talk to him any more.
"If you don't want to say anything else to me, can you just answer this one sentence?"
Wei Wei touched the surface of the water and tried to swim back, "Protect someone."
In fact, one third of his injuries were sustained while he was serving the new Emperor Daqi.
Wang Ren stopped him and said, "I brought you some medicine."
He climbed ashore first, took out a few boxes of eye treatment medicine from his bag, put them in a waterproof bag, and threw them into the water for Wei Wei: "Use it twice a day, it will make you get better faster."
Wei Wei didn't know why he helped him. There was no calculation in Wang Ren's words, but he seemed more sincere than before.
Wang Ren obviously didn't want to stay any longer. "I still really want to recruit you, otherwise I would have let you die in this river just now."
He picked up his backpack and was about to leave, then turned back and said, "I'll settle Lao Gui's bill. I might shoot you anytime. After all, Lao Gui is my brother who has been with me through thick and thin."
Wei Wei raised his lips in a sarcastic tone: "You still owe me a shot."
Wang Ren also laughed: "So I will shoot you to save you, and shoot you to kill you."
He thought about it, if it really came to that...
"maybe."
It's true, maybe. After all, at his age, he has been through so many years of hard work and is not like young people who will be blinded by love.
Wei Wei's expression was slightly disdainful: "I'm looking forward to it."
Zhou Youguan called Wei Wei after a few minutes, but Wei Wei did not respond. He was afraid that there was danger, so he hurried over, but there was no sign of Wei Wei.
Not long after Wang Ren left, Zhou Youlan came over.
"Wei Wei?"
Hearing the sound of Zhou Youguan stepping through leaves and into puddles, Wei Wei responded with a "Yeah."
Zhou Youlan breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here? Were you freestyle swimming in the river?"
The teacher who was filming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
[Young Master: Yeah, you freestyled in the river so far?]
[The young master was startled and came down to see that Bao'er was gone.]
[Wow, wow, wow, the camera teacher, take more pictures of Wei Ge’s naked body, I love to watch it]
[Slurp, so white, Brother Wei]
[Brother Wei, I admire you for being able to swim this far even though you can’t see.]
[Hey, what's Wei Wei holding in his hand? ]
The light from the cameraman's equipment was dim, but it was enough to illuminate at a short distance. The cameraman took a picture of Wei Wei's hand, which was a camouflage waterproof bag.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhou Youguan squatted by the river and reached out to pull him.
Wei Wei handed the thing to Zhou Youguan and asked him to open it and take a look.
Zhou Youlan: "You trust me so much?"
"I can't see."
The cameraman couldn't help himself.
Zhou Youlan: “…”
"I'll pull you up first."
Wei Wei turned sideways. Although he couldn't see anything, he always felt that many eyes were looking at him. His underwear was very thin and wet. If he went out like this, he would inevitably be seen naked by everyone, and he was not used to it.
"No, I'll go up by myself."
Zhou Youxuan stepped aside to show him the way, but Wei Wei still didn't move. "Did you get my backpack?"
"I got it. Do you want some clothes?" Zhou Youguan said as he went to look for them for him. "I'll get them for you."
While he was talking, Wei Wei climbed out of the water sideways, took the clothes and backpack from Zhou Youguan's hands and went to the side to change.
While Wei Wei was changing his clothes, Zhou Youguan opened the small package under the light of the camera teacher's equipment, and found that it was full of medicine.
They are all medicines for eye injuries.
Zhou Youxuan opened it and took a look, then quickly zipped it up and hid it behind him, obviously to avoid the program crew.
The cameraman looked at me and said: Do you really need to do that?
He was curious about where Wei Wei got the medicine from, but since it was of use to him, he would not hand it over to the program team.
Zhou Youguan took a quick shower. In this environment, he couldn't ask for too much. It would be comfortable to just wash off the sweat on his body.
No one talked much about the encounter with Lao Gui with other guests. After all, if the news got out, it would be Ruan Mengmeng and the others who would be troubled. Besides, Lao Gui didn't meet them often, so no one cared whether he had withdrawn or not.
Wang Chunqin's injury was simply that he fell down the hillside after dark because the road was slippery. Zhang Longtong looked at his bruised face and said, "You're quite a talent to have fallen like that."
"If you're willing to give me some medicine, go ahead. If not, just stay away. I feel sick just seeing you."
Zhang Longtong covered his lips and smiled: "Well, then I will hang around in front of you and make you feel uncomfortable."
Wang Chunqin: "...psychosis."
After returning to the camping site, Zhou Youguan gave Wei Wei the eye drops in the waterproof medicine bag.
He really wanted to ask Wei Wei where he got it, since there was no one else there except Wei Wei. But then he thought about it, as Wang Ren had only left a few minutes earlier than them, so the medicine probably couldn't have come from anyone else except Wang Ren.
A sour feeling arose in my heart, but it was just a secret. After all, as long as Wei Wei could get better, anyone's medicine would be fine.
A heavy rain delayed their progress. If Wei Wei could see, he would have walked in the rain wearing a raincoat. But now Wei Wei couldn't see. After the rain, the sky was full of thick white fog, and the sunlight could not be seen. It was difficult to tell the direction, so everyone had to delay for the time being.
On the fourth day after Wei Wei became blind, he began to see bright colors in front of his eyes, but they were very faint. On the fifth day, the star-like light expanded to the hazy moonlight that we usually see, and we could only see the outline, which was not very clear.
But everyone was very happy to hear the news. This was a sign of improvement. It seemed that Wei Wei would be able to see the light again in a few days.
After only a day and a half of delay, they continued their journey.
The fish traps they had put out before had only successfully caught fish once. On the morning of their departure, the river water became more turbid than the day before. It was probably because it had rained up ahead, and the fish did not return to the shore.
Maybe it was because they set out early or it was because it had been cloudy recently, but the route they were walking on was always shrouded in white fog. Before nine o'clock, they could still see fine water droplets formed by the fog on the leaves. After nine o'clock, the white fog lingered for a long time, and they could even faintly smell some foul odor.
At first, the rotten stench was very faint, but the further you went in, the stronger the smell became, as if a piece of rotten meat was sealed so tightly that maggots were about to appear, and then it was kept in a sealed bag for a long time, and when it was suddenly opened, the smell rushed straight to the top of your head.
Lin Yue was very sensitive to bad smells, and not long after walking, he started vomiting because of the smell.
Many people began to experience dizziness one after another, and some, like Lin Yue, could not bear it and vomited continuously.
"That's not right. Are we sure we're on the right route?" The big monkey raised his arm to cover his mouth and nose, his voice becoming muffled. "Why does it feel like something doesn't smell right here?"
Wei Wei told Zhou Youxuan to cover his mouth and nose, then sniffed carefully: "It's definitely not right, this is miasma."
They mistakenly entered the miasma forest.
