Chapter 8 Chapter 8 I’m not even qualified to carry Yunti’s shoes…
The wind whistled past my ears.
The withered meadows, the barren hilltops, and the drones circling overhead all left afterimages in front of my eyes.
From a traveler who is busy with his own affairs to a passerby who is just taking a quick look, the poor mountains and rugged hills begin to look approachable.
Li Xingyan subconsciously clutched Yun Ti's clothes, his ears burning, and even the unhealed scars on his back were promoted to a sweet medal.
"Will you be my fender?"
These words flooded into my mind again like a devilish sound piercing my ears.
The girl's straightforward and honest confession made Li Xingyan reflect on whether he was too hypocritical.
Perhaps, he should do as Dr. Su said and let the other party feel his feelings as well.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Xingyan leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand, and was about to hold the girl's waist tightly.
The car body suddenly shook slightly.
Yun Ti grabbed his wrist with her backhand.
"If you dare to touch me again, you're dead."
-
After several hours of travel, the sky gradually darkened and the howling of wolves began again.
To be on the safe side, the large force stayed there to rest.
After getting off the bus, Li Xingyan was still sulking, and deliberately sat dozens of meters away from Yun Ti without saying a word.
What on earth does she mean? One second she's confessing her love to me sincerely, and the next second she's uttering such cold threats.
Hot and cold, cloudy and sunny...
Could it be... that I met a love veteran and PUA master!
Thinking of this, Li Xingyan crossed his arms and thought to himself: From now on, I will never take a step towards that bad woman. I have to let her know that I am not a man who can be easily toyed with by her!
He put on the most indifferent attitude, lowered his head and waited for several minutes.
I vaguely felt the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to me.
Li Xingyan suddenly looked up.
"Master Li, Xiao Lie said you guys are going to get some game for yourselves. Will you still need the pot later?"
It was the aunt who borrowed the pot at noon, Zhang Jingmin.
The corner of his mouth twitched, Li Xingyan stopped smiling, and looked past her to the front right.
Yun Ti was no longer there, only a pile of newly set up bonfire stands remained.
-
Damn it! Damn it! It’s so damned terrible!
Not only did he not go hunting with her, but she also went hunting with other wild men.
Did she really take him, her potential boyfriend, seriously? She really thought she couldn't live without her, didn't she?
As if to vent his anger, Li Xingyan took the long branch in his hand and hit the tree trunk hard.
Glancing across a circle of scrubby coniferous forest.
I heard that some contestants picked fresh berries here, and if they are lucky they may come across wild rabbits and pheasants or find a small river to catch fish.
Li Xingyan snorted coldly.
Just wait, when I catch the hare, I will throw it hard on the face of that unfaithful woman so that she can see clearly who is stronger.
Search along the trail for dozens of minutes.
Nothing was gained.
Even the sweet berries that everyone said were everywhere were nowhere to be found.
At this time, it was completely dark.
It was pitch dark in the depths of the jungle, and the cold wind whistled through the forest, making people's hair stand on end.
It was like encountering a ghost wall. Li Xingyan had lost his way and could not find the way back.
Even the drones that haunted us during the day were nowhere to be seen.
It's too quiet.
He could only hear the pounding of his own heart and the soft sound of his footsteps on the dead leaves.
Forcing himself to calm down, Li Xingyan tried to contact the program crew through the bracelet.
【SOS】
The dim screen flashed three times and a red warning icon lit up.
[Survivor Game reminds you: The mountain map is now open. Pressing the "SOS" button will cause you to exit the game directly, forfeit your accumulated bonus, and end the recording.]
"Fuck you!"
Li Xingyan cursed and turned off the bracelet screen.
Want me to admit defeat? Tell Yun Ti, I am not a coward!
He flicked the flashlight and continued walking.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, as if some physiological defense mechanism was warning him that something was staring at him.
Li Xingyan increased his pace, and gradually, he turned walking into running, and then he ran wildly in the woods without even daring to look back.
My body hit something suddenly.
"ah!!!!"
Li Xingyan screamed.
"Shut up!"
Yun Ti frowned and covered his mouth.
His eyes passed over Li Xingyan's shoulder.
A pair of green eyes met her gaze from less than three meters in front of her.
It's a wolf.
It is also observing.
No one dares to act rashly.
Yun Ti stared at the adult lone wolf with a gloomy look in her eyes, without blinking, and a low gurgling sound came from her throat.
This is a deterrent warning. When a wolf acts alone, it is no match for a leopard.
"What's that noise? Is the motorcycle stuck in your throat?"
After Li Xingyan relaxed, he began to talk nonsense.
The next second, Yun Ti hugged him tightly in her arms with her hands clasped together.
She was already prepared. If the wild wolf in front of her decided to fight to the death and swoop down on her, she would immediately throw Li Xingyan to the side, then draw the dagger at her waist and give it a fatal blow.
But it is clear that wolves are intelligent animals.
It keenly sensed the bloodline suppression from Yun Ti. Starving for a while would mean starvation for death...
The wolf took a few steps back, turned its head suddenly, and ran away with its tail tucked down.
"Alright, alright, since you're so clingy...I promise I won't leave your side anymore!"
Li Xingyan blushed and coaxed softly.
He had no idea that he was almost torn to pieces by the hungry wolf behind him.
When the area was completely clear of any wolf signs, Yun Ti pushed Li Xingyan away.
He bent down and picked up the dying hare on the ground.
After taking two steps, she picked out one of them and threw it hard in the direction the hungry wolf left.
He turned around and met Li Xingyan's puzzled and resentful gaze.
She said expressionlessly, "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave quickly?"
*
When we returned to the base camp, bonfires had already been lit in the wilderness.
From the perspective of drone aerial photography, it looks like stars lighting up the night sky.
When spending the night in the wild, a bonfire can not only keep you warm, but also drive away wild animals and mosquitoes.
But Yunti lit the fire just to eat.
In the entire group, only she and Banlie caught hares and pheasants, and Ye Xuan caught a few fish.
Well...and when Li Xingyan walked out of the edge of the jungle, he picked up what looked like a bird's egg.
"You're finally back!"
Zhang Jingmin stood up and asked them to sit down. "I heard they said there might be wolves in the forest. I was scared to death when you guys didn't make any movement for so long..."
"It's such a small forest, and we came out after just two steps. How could there be a wolf?" Li Xingyan glanced at Yun Ti, and suddenly raised his voice like a peacock spreading its tail. "Even if there is, my muscles are not trained in vain!"
Yun Ti glanced at him indifferently.
I don’t know who was so scared that he ran around the woods in a panic.
On the other side, seeing Ye Xuan coming back, Ming Jiaojiao also came forward to greet him.
"Wow! Brother Ye Xuan! You caught a fish, that's great!"
She hugged Ye Xuan's arm familiarly, her eyes full of stars.
Ye Xuan coughed lightly. He originally felt a little embarrassed for not catching the hare, but now that the beauty was complimenting him and acting coquettishly, his self-esteem as a man was instantly restored a little.
While he was processing the fish's internal organs and roasting them on the campfire, he explained to Ming Jiaojiao the essential skills needed for survival in the wild.
The sound was quite loud and attracted many fans to watch.
The campfires on both sides were close together.
Li Xingyan smacked his lips repeatedly when he heard this. "All that talk about loading, but they didn't even catch a single rabbit. My old po... um... Yunti is still more powerful."
Banlie nodded in agreement, "Yes, sister is still the best!"
Li Xingyan instantly exploded, "You green tea! Who is your sister? Stop trying to get close to her!"
"It's always been like this. I knew my sister earlier than you..."
It seemed that the two were about to fight.
Zhang Jingmin smiled and shook her head, looking at Yun Ti, "You don't care?"
At this moment, Yun Ti's mind and eyes were filled with the prey in her hands. She didn't say a word, for fear that saliva would flow out if she opened her mouth.
Zhang Jingmin quickly cleaned the two hares and two pheasants with a knife and rinsed them with water.
"Looks like you can just roast it like Xiaoye did. You don't need a pan. I'll take it away then."
She picked up the pot and was about to leave.
Someone suddenly grabbed my wrist. I turned around and saw the girl who always had a cold and indifferent face blinking.
"Sit down and eat together."
*
The fried steak at noon was already mouth-watering, and the barbecue at night caused dissatisfaction among other contestants.
Not everyone can enjoy the benefits of "privileges" like Li Xingyan and Ming Jiaojiao, nor are they as skilled and self-sufficient as Yun Ti and Ye Xuan. Even many people are not as foresighted as Zhang Jingmin and do not know how to prepare their own food and tools.
Most ordinary people can only survive by relying on the initial resources provided by the program team.
But they did not dare to say anything to their leader Ye Xuan, so they turned their attention to Yun Ti, the "weak woman" who seemed easier to bully.
"Does anyone know how that woman got the game? Just look at her skinny arms and legs? If I were to ask you, I'd say our Brother Ye was generous and secretly gave her some..."
"Eating so happily alone is really selfish..."
"Jiaojiao, you have to keep an eye on that girl. I heard that when she first joined the show, she deliberately approached Brother Ye and asked him to teach her how to ride a bike. She even wanted to team up with Brother Ye. How shameless!"
…
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Xingyan was so angry that his face turned red. He took two steps with his long legs and rushed straight into other people's territory.
He raised the frying pan and pointed it at the gossips. "Who the hell is Ye Xuan? He's not even qualified to carry Yun Ti's shoes. Who wants to get close to him? If you dare to make up stories again, come and try."
Everybody knows him.
The show's cast of comedians, the rich young master of the Li family, arrived by helicopter and rolled out the red carpet.
But now he is acting as a bootlicker for Cinderella Yun Ti.
Some people feel disgusted by this.
"With your status, Master Li, you are worthy of carrying her shoes."
Just as he was making a sarcastic remark, a flying knife whizzed past his eyes.
With a flash of cold light, several strands of hair on the speaker's temples fell off.
The crowd, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent.
A few seconds later.
Everyone came to their senses and looked in horror in the direction where the flying knife came from, only to see Yun Ti sitting calmly in front of the campfire.
The dim firelight danced on the side of her face, flickering and exuding a terrifying aura.
"You! You actually used a knife!"
This was the first time someone showed a knife to someone else on the show. Although no blood was drawn, it was still a signal of provocation.
For a moment, the crowd was outraged, and condemnatory and hateful glances were directed at Yun Ti.
A new storm seems to be about to spread.
Yun Ti was completely unaware of this.
Chewing the roasted chicken in her mouth, she tilted her head, a little confused. "If you don't use a knife to kill a rabbit, what do you use? Your mouth?"
Before he finished speaking, Ban Lie, who was standing where Yun Ti's knife had fallen, exclaimed, bent down and picked up a dying hare.
"It hit me!"
