Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Die together?!
Everyone realized something was wrong, but before they could react, the village chief was grabbed by the ever-vigilant Jiang Weihe.
"Village chief, why do you have to run up and down for a knife? Just shout and ask the people above to bring it down."
The acting was truly terrible. It seems the production team hastily prepared this segment and didn't give the village chief proper "training."
Seeing Jiang Weihe's actions and words, the other seven people also moved their positions tacitly, completely blocking the path the village chief was going to escape.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the village chief could only smile bitterly and said, "I have no choice."
Seeing that the others had cornered the village chief, Jiang Weihe let go of his hand. "What's going on? Tell us. We'll definitely help you if we can."
Come on, tell us your story.
The village chief signed a confidentiality agreement with the program team, so of course he couldn't tell the program team's plan. But now he's being blocked by this group of people, so he can't complete the program team's plan and he won't get the money either.
The village chief wanted to use his brain to make up a lie so that he could get away with it.
Unfortunately, the more he was in this kind of environment, the more his mind went blank.
Just as the village chief was in a long silence, a "bang" suddenly came from upstairs.
…
"Ah, that sound is the door closing."
"Was it the wind? Or was it intentional by the production team?"
"This must have been intentional by the production team, otherwise why would the village chief run away?"
"The original plan was for the village chief to leave and then close the gate, but they unexpectedly stopped him, so the production team locked everyone in."
"The production team is really too crazy."
"I take back what I said before. The production team really can do anything."
"Being locked up in the basement is really scary."
"This is probably the effect the production team wants."
"Wow, I think the production team went too far."
"Yes, this is a bit too much."
…
The barrage of comments was accusing the program crew, and the nine people in the basement were a little confused when they heard this voice.
Gu Mingyu was the first to react.
He immediately rushed up the stairs and pulled the door hard, but it wouldn't open at all.
Then he kicked the door and shouted, "The door is locked."
Upon hearing Gu Mingyu's words, Jiang Weihe stretched out his hand to the village chief and said, "Please give us the key."
The village chief quickly covered his pockets.
This allowed Jiang Weihe to confirm where his key was.
Jiang Weihe looked at his pocket "friendly".
The village chief couldn't help swallowing.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while.
In this deadlock, the village chief's mind suddenly seemed to be electrified, and an idea flashed in his mind.
Then he took the key from his pocket and threw it out of the upper ventilation window opposite.
When everyone saw the village chief throw the key away, some were stunned, while others subconsciously reached out to chase the key.
Unfortunately, the village chief's movement was too fast and his force was too great.
The key passed before their eyes like a meteor and went out of the window with a whoosh.
Gu Mingyu, who happened to be coming down the stairs, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is it really that serious? Do we need to die together?!"
…
"Oh my god, this village chief is amazing."
"The production team probably asked him to do it and then gave him money."
"I think I'm just a bit stupid, so the only thing I could think of was throwing the key away."
"Is there a typo above?"
"That's not a typo. He's just stupid. A simple, stupid person."
"But Gu Mingyu and Jiang Weihe both reacted quickly."
"Am I the only one who feels sorry for An Hongdou? She really looks like she's about to die of fright."
"Really? She was already feeling uneasy after coming down to the basement. Then when Gu Mingyu said the door was locked, she started shaking like she was about to collapse."
"Are you feeling claustrophobic? Didn't the production team consider the safety aspect?"
"It was a mild feeling, but I might have passed out from the claustrophobia when the door was locked.
But it’s undeniable that the production team made a blunder this time.”
"The production team definitely didn't prepare a plan B, and Jiang Weihe's outrageous behavior caused the show to be completely ruined, so they urgently prepared this, but this resulted in many details not being perfected, which led to the current situation, which is full of loopholes."
"The production team is to blame for underestimating the guests and not having a plan B."
"The production team must take the blame."
…
Not only were the comments shocked, Jiang Weihe was also a little stunned by the village chief's action, but she remained calm.
"The production team can't possibly want to lock us up completely. This is a game, and there must be a way to pass it. So there must be a spare key in this room, right, Village Chief?"
[He threw the key so cleanly, he must have known he could get out.]
The village chief could only smile awkwardly.
"Then we need to find the key." Li Wangshu is also a man of action. After hearing what Jiang Weihe said, he quickly started looking for it nearby.
She looked around and said, "Before the village chief ran away, he told us to identify what was in the jar. So, it's very likely that the key is in the jar."
But as Li Wangshu was speaking, she squatted down to look at the jar and found that the mouth of the jar was sealed with soil. She pulled hard at the little bit of sealing cloth that was still exposed, but it didn't move at all.
"It seems these wine jars are just as the village chief said. They need a knife to open them."
After Li Wangshu said this, everyone else was a little disappointed.
Jiang Weihe picked up a smaller wine jar and asked the village chief, "Did the production team promise to compensate you for these wine jars?"
The village chief was stunned by Jiang Weihe's question and could only nod subconsciously.
When Jiang Weihe saw the village chief nodded, she also nodded, then picked up the wine jar in her hand and smashed it against the wall.
This jar contained wine. The moment it was thrown over, splashes of water were everywhere and the rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out.
Anyone who knows wine knows that this is a good wine just by smelling it.
People who want to make wine also put in a lot of effort.
"Hey!" The village chief was stunned by Jiang Weihe's action and said distressedly, "Don't smash it. The wine and pickles can still be used after they are opened. What will we do if we smash them?"
Jiang Weihe smiled slightly, but this smile was quite "kind": "Then please tell us where the key is, village chief."
[This is my first time doing this, and I feel both a sense of relief and guilt. It's a real mix of emotions.]
Although Jiang Weihe felt a little guilty, her hands moved very skillfully and she picked up another small wine jar.
The village chief saw her and quickly stepped forward to stop her. "There are farm tools in the shadows under the stairs that can be used to open the jars. I don't know which jar the key is in."
Since the village chief said so, Jiang Weihe put down the jar in his hand.
Song Muyan, Pei Shuwen and Gu Mingyu went to get farm tools.
Liu Chenjun originally wanted to go, but An Hongdou was so scared that she couldn't let go of Liu Chenjun.
Liu Chenjun was really worried about An Hongdou's condition and didn't dare to leave her.
The others also understood, so they asked Liu Chenjun not to go.
Song Muyan and the other two moved quickly and soon came out from the stairs. Each of them brought some farm tools, including sickles, hoes, shovels, and a variety of other things.
Li Wangshu and Shen Erya also stepped forward and picked out a small one.
An Hongdou was about to reach out to take a handful, but was persuaded by Li Wangshu and Shen Erya.
The two could still understand that An Hongdou might be particularly afraid of confined spaces, especially this kind of dark basement.
Hearing the comfort from Li Wangshu and Shen Erya, An Hongdou's eyelashes trembled and she looked like she was about to cry.
She really felt that she was useless.
The next moment, she heard Jiang Weihe's voice, and suddenly she even forgot her fear and felt speechless.
"Then you guys do your job well." Jiang Weihe heard their words to comfort An Hongdou, and saw that they all took the tools, so he crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in a commanding manner.
[Of course, a troublemaker can't work. Eh? Was I a little too proactive when I smashed the wine jar just now? No, a troublemaker has a bad temper, so smashing things is normal.]
After hearing Jiang Weihe's words, everyone except Song Muyan was speechless. But thinking about all of Jiang Weihe's actions, they had to admit that she was very capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know what to do, so it was hard to say anything to her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Weihe added, "Remember to prioritize finding jars that appear to have newer seals."
"Ah? Since you knew that, why did you throw my wine?" Before anyone else could respond, the village chief immediately realized the problem and exploded first.
Indeed, the production team found a new jar, filled it with water, hid the key inside, and then sealed it with mud.
But no matter how old this jar is, it is still different from those old jars that have been stored for a long time.
Therefore, the program team installed a bunch of new jars and mixed them in with these jars.
Hearing the village chief's question, Jiang Weihe nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, of course I was deliberately provoking you."
But in her heart she was apologizing madly.
[Sorry, I'll make you ten more jars of wine after I get out.]
The village chief didn't know what Jiang Weihe was thinking. When he heard what Jiang Weihe said and thought about the reason why she did that, he was helpless. He even felt it difficult to scold her and could only sigh with some resentment.
After this moment, he was completely exhausted, so he just found a place to squat down and waited for them to find the key and go out.
The five people who were highly expected by the village chief were looking for jars with newer seals among a pile of jars.
Then, if he saw a newer one, he would use the farm tools at hand to open the seal.
However, it is not so easy to judge whether it is new or old.
One reason is that they themselves don’t know much about the quality of this kind of sealing mud in different periods of time.
Another reason is that the jars in the village chief’s house were not produced in the same time period.
They can only make a comparison, and if they see that this one is newer than the surrounding ones, then they will open it.
This also led to them often prescribing the wrong food and ordering alcohol and pickles.
Of course, they also opened the new jars prepared by the program team.
These jars are filled with colorful water, and we have really taken great pains to prevent them from seeing at a glance whether there is a key inside.
When you come across a jar like this, you can only reach in and touch it.
Sudden……
"Ah!" Shen Erya, who was always gentle and elegant, let out a sharp cry.
