Chapter 14 Nie Yumeng

Although it was not very polite, Jiang Wu's words eased the awkwardness between him and the guests. Guan Qi and others did not apologize again. In the second half of the night, everyone moved their things and moved their camp in silence.

The group of people were busy until about five in the morning, their bodies were covered with sweat and sea water. Considering that they still had tasks to do after dawn, the guests changed their clothes and went into the tent to catch up on sleep.

Jiang Wudao thanked Yang Chen and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the staff collecting the recording equipment of the guests. He suddenly said, "By the way, Director Yang, sometimes I may be alone and the photographer may not be able to keep up. Do you have a more convenient portable camera?"

Director Yang couldn't help but think of the scene when he somehow ran up the tree during the high tide, and he felt a headache. "I'll get you a sports camera."

"Thank you, Director Yang."

“…”

After Nie Yumeng waited until everyone entered the tent, a man came to Jiang Wu's tent.

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Wu asked.

"I came to apologize to you."

She stood in front of the tent and stammered as she apologized, saying that she did not mean to complain to others yesterday. She just felt wronged and couldn't help crying. It was Wu Jiayou and Guan Qi who were impulsive and she couldn't stop them.

Jiang Wu listened to her clearing herself of the matter with a few words and pushing the responsibility onto others, and he said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nie Yumeng felt anxious. It would have been fine if everyone ignored Jiang Wu, but now the tide had risen and Wu Jiayou and the others were about to reconcile with Jiang Wu. If they asked her about the time when Jiang Wu scolded her and made her cry, the fact that she and the other side said different things would be exposed, and she would be the one who would be isolated.

"In fact, everyone wanted you to come back. I said I wanted to join your team because I wanted to slowly persuade you to reconcile with Brother Wu and the others, and then bring you back to the team. But you rejected me outright, leaving me speechless."

"Didn't you say that they think you are useless and are ostracizing you?"

Nie Yumeng's expression froze, and he smiled dryly, "That... that's because I was afraid that you were still resisting them in your heart, and I wanted to gain your trust first, so I said that."

Jiang Wu interrupted her calmly, "I know, I need to rest now."

Nie Yumeng bit her lip and walked away with a grim look on her face.

After dawn, the guests woke up and received a clue card for the third day from the program team. On it was a string of numbers. The director's hint was the sun. As long as they successfully solved the mystery, they could finish the recording ahead of schedule and leave the island.

Everyone shared the leftover food from yesterday, and asked Ji Ruoxuan to give a portion to Jiang Wu. At the same time, he tactfully asked Jiang Wu if he had any idea about the third token.

Jiang Wu did not hide it and said directly, "There was a very tall tree where we fetched water that day. The token was on top of it, but it was out of reach."

Guan Qi was surprised and asked, "You solved the puzzle?"

"Well, it has something to do with the eight trigrams."

“…”

Several people were stunned. What kind of efficiency is this? Just looking at the questions and solving them?

"I remember that tree was about eight or nine stories high. There wasn't even a branch at the bottom, and the nails for the climbing rope couldn't be installed on it. I really couldn't get it. Did the director's crew do it on purpose?" Ji Ruoxuan complained.

Guan Qi frowned and thought for a moment, "I can try to tie myself up with clothes."

As they were thinking about what to do, Nie Yumeng suddenly said, "It's too dangerous, what if the token is not there when we climb up?"

The people in the team looked blank. Everyone subconsciously believed Jiang Wu, but they also realized that he was no longer on the same team as themselves.

"It's not that I don't trust Jiang Wu, but it would be very dangerous if he interpreted it wrongly." Nie Yumeng said.

Everyone was silent, and looked at Guan Qi. Guan Qi pursed her lips and said, "Give it a try. It should be fine if you are careful."

Finally, we decided to give it a try. However, we had just finished a night of physical labor and had no energy left. We planned to find something to eat to fill our stomachs first.

"Brother Jiang, we found a lot of mushrooms in the woods yesterday. Do you want to go with us?" Although Nie Yumeng had already said that Jiang Wu was unwilling to return to the team, Ji Ruoxuan still tried to ask.

Jiang Wu shook his head, "No need, you guys go ahead."

Nie Yumeng's heart suddenly sank. Although the others had expected it, they still felt a little uncomfortable. However, just as they were leaving, Jiang Wu behind them suddenly said, "It's going to rain."

A few people looked at the cloudless sky and the bright sun above their heads and thought that it was a bit strange that it was raining. However, considering the high tide incident last night, they did not dare to question it anymore and finally put on raincoats.

Jiang Wu saw them leaving from behind, so he turned around and entered the jungle from the other direction.

The director's team naturally heard the conversation. The assistant looked at the big sun overhead and asked suspiciously, "Is it really going to rain? The sun is so bright."

Director Yang said with a hint of excitement, "If this really happens, we will be deified."

Two hours later, the clouds in the sky gradually changed color, first light gray, then increasingly darker, gradually covering the entire sky, and fine and dense rain fell, soon becoming as big as beans, crackling on the rocks on the beach.

The entire program crew looked up at the sky at the same time, watching the sudden heavy rain, and the shock in their eyes could not be calmed for a long time.

Yang Chen shuddered, "It's fucking amazing..."

At the same time, Guan Qi and others who were far away in the depths of the forest were picking mushrooms when such a rain came. Everyone stood there in a daze, looking at each other with disbelief on their faces.

The raindrops hit the raincoat with a crackling sound, but Ji Ruoxuan's whispers were clearly heard by them, "...My God, you are really good at calculating!"

When the five-member team returned, they brought back a lot of mushrooms. With Bi Yan's help, the mushrooms were naturally safe and non-toxic, and they smelled very fragrant when roasted. Although they didn't say anything, they tacitly asked Ji Ruoxuan to leave a portion for Jiang Wu.

This time Jiang Wu did not refuse, and several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Ruoxuan was even happier, and sat directly next to Jiang Wu and started to get close to him, "Brother Jiang, how did you know it was going to rain? And the high tide last night was amazing!"

"I figured it out." Jiang Wu lowered his head and poked the fire that was about to go out in front of him. Ji Ruoxuan seemed to understand and praised, "Awesome!"

His honest and straightforward words made everyone in the camp laugh, and Bi Yan also took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, asking him if he could really tell fortunes.

Jiang Wushou paused and said, "I guess I can do it."

Several people immediately became interested. Ji Ruoxuan quickly extended his palm to them, "Then can you calculate it for me?"

Jiang Wuyong used a small wooden stick to push his hand away, then looked up at the person who was looking at him. "I'm quite happy. Although I may not achieve great success in the future, I'm in good health."

These few words were vague and sounded empty. Everyone was a little disappointed. Then Guan Qi suddenly said, "What about me?"

This was the first time that Guan Qi spoke to Jiang Wu so calmly, and everyone was a little surprised.

Jiang Wu glanced at her and said, "You come from a family of scholars and have a long history of good fortune, but you have encountered many setbacks in your marriage and are easily deceived."

Guan Qi was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

"Her parents are both university professors, and her mother is the dean of our department..." Bi Yan looked at him in surprise, "How did you know that?"

Guan Qi is a very low-profile person in the entertainment industry and she rarely shows up in public, so not many people know that she comes from an educated family. And only Guan Qi herself knows that she has indeed suffered a lot of setbacks in her relationship.

She looked at the young man opposite her with a complicated expression, "...quite accurate."

As soon as this was said, the others were also eager to make a move. Director Yang Chen, who was not far away, couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I should also ask about my fortune?"

assistant:"……"

Everyone gathered around Jiang Wu, only Nie Yumeng remained silent. If you looked closely, you could see that her expression was a little stiff, and she couldn't even maintain her signature sweet smile.

At this time, Ji Ruoxuan noticed that she hadn't said anything, so he said, "Brother Jiang, show it to Yu Meng too!"

Nie Yumeng smiled awkwardly, "...I don't need it."

"Oh, look, Jiang Wu is really accurate."

"Really, no need."

As the two of them were pushing and shoving each other, Jiang Wu had already raised his head and looked at Nie Yumeng. The moment their eyes met, Nie Yumeng felt a panic in his heart as he looked at those clear amber eyes.

Jiang Wu looked at her calmly, "You are not worthy of your position, and you will be burdened by it in the end."

Nie Yumeng's face turned pale instantly.
