Chapter 298: Don’t Listen to the Old Man
"Chu Qiao, are you kidding us?" Xiao Wang pointed at the clearing sky. "Didn't you just say you were afraid of a snowstorm? How do you explain this?"
Director Xiao: "Xiao Wang, don't forget who rescued you just now."
Xiao Wang turned his head, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"If she hadn't made a mistake in judgment, I wouldn't have ended up in the ice cave."
Director Xiao's face was full of embarrassment.
Chu Qiao waved his hand: "It's okay, Director Xiao, she's not wrong, it was indeed my misjudgment."
"However," Chu Qiao changed the subject, "Survival in the wilderness is inherently dangerous. Nature doesn't have that many reasons to explain to us."
"Chu Qiao is right, Xiao Wang, don't be angry. It's okay as long as we are safe now." Huang Li rolled up her trouser legs.
Chuqiao's pants are professional mountaineering pants and are durable.
This was not the case with Xiao Wang and Huang Li. Their pants were more or less worn out, and there were also scratches on their legs.
Chu Qiao walked up to Huang Li and said, "Let me help you. If you don't treat this wound properly, frostbite will easily get infected.
"Ah..." Although Huang Li's name sounds feminine, he is indeed a straight man, a young man who has not yet married. His hands trembled.
"Hurry up, what are you hesitating about?" Chu Qiao had no idea what was going on in his mind. He just wanted to quickly treat the wounds of the two and get on the road.
"Oh, okay."
Chu Qiao rolled up Huang Li's trouser legs. His calves were bruised in many places, but fortunately there were no major wounds.
"Director Xiao, give me some of that iodine you have."
Xiao, who was treating Xiao Wang's wound, threw a bottle of iodine and a pack of cotton swabs, and Chu Qiao reached out and grabbed them.
"Iodine shouldn't hurt, don't worry."
"Alright, check yourself again tonight. If you feel the wound is warm or shows any signs of redness, we'll take care of it."
"Chu Qiao, is your leg okay?"
Chu Qiao pulled up his trouser legs, revealing his fair and well-proportioned calves, without a single scar on them.
"I'm thick-skinned and used to it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qiao felt a wave of heat on her back, and the sun was shining directly on her back.
The light reflected by the white ice made Chu Qiao squint his eyes.
Chu Qiao shook his head helplessly. "I heard someone say, if you don't like Iceland's weather right now, wait a second, you'll dislike it even more. This is because there's not only the Mowan Warm Current, but also the Arctic Cold Current. The weather here is capricious."
Director Xiao took out his sunglasses and said, "Everyone, wear them. The light is too strong and it can cause eye inflammation and allergies."
"Chu Qiao, here."
Chu Qiao shook his head: "Director Xiao, thank you, I'll use this."
Chu Qiao touched the mini iron pot that Director Xiao had just taken out, and smeared the ash from the bottom of the pot around his eyes.
"I suggest you do the same and not wear glasses."
Xiao Wang seemed even more arrogant after putting on his glasses: "Why? You don't wear them yourself, but you can't stand seeing others doing better than you?"
Chu Qiao frowned. Since it was a live broadcast and the other party was from the outdoor channel, she had tried her best to give them face.
"You can continue to wear them if you want, but I would like to kindly remind you that no matter what sport you are doing, wearing framed glasses is not suitable, especially in the snow where you can easily fall, as it will increase unnecessary risks."
Huang Li and Director Xiao put their glasses away obediently.
"Xiao Wang, give me your eyes."
"Director Xiao, it's okay. It's not such a coincidence."
Director Xiao didn't say anything more and let Xiao Wang do what he wanted. He actually didn't think it would be that serious. Even if he fell, he wouldn't hit his face.
"Alright, be careful when wearing it." Director Xiao took out a few compressed biscuits and said, "Eat something first, everyone, we've all used up too much energy just now."
Chu Qiao spread his hands and said, "You eat what you want. My mission rules state that you cannot accept food and water from others before completing the mission."
"No, there's no need." Huang Li stuffed the money into Chu Qiao's hand, completely forgetting that they came here to supervise Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao looked at Director Xiao helplessly: "Director Xiao, is this your gourmet temptation technique?"
Director Xiao hooked his finger: "Alright, Xiao Huang, stop teasing him."
Huang Li behind him suddenly laughed: "Chu Qiao, this time I want to see if you can really survive by drinking dew."
Chu Qiao simply wrapped his hands with a piece of cloth to increase friction. "Hurry up and eat. The snowy mountains are a very dangerous place. We should try to leave here before nightfall."
The three of them filled their stomachs and started on their journey.
Everyone felt their upper bodies were warmed by the sun, but their feet were shivering from the cold because they were stepping on ice and snow.
The contradictory feeling of ice and fire slowed down the four people's speed.
Chu Qiao was walking when he suddenly stopped with a frown on his face. "Everyone, be careful. We didn't check the temperature in Iceland before coming here. If it's been alternating between hot and cold recently, there's a high chance of cracks in the ice."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao took out a rope and tied the four people together, one by one.
"That way if one person misses a step, the other three can pull that person up together."
Xiao Wang: "How is that possible? This is a snowy mountain that has been there for years. How could it just melt away like that? Do you think this is a man-made ski resort? It will melt as soon as the sun hits it?"
"Even on ordinary snowy mountains, ice is common, let alone Iceland..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
"ah……"
A familiar shrill cry rang out.
Chu Qiao felt the rope around him tighten.
Xiao Wang and Huang Li were tied together directly. When Xiao Wang fell, Huang Li was directly pulled to the edge of the ice crack.
Chu Qiao looked at the crack in the ice. It was so tight that it could no longer be called a crack. It was a crack half a meter wide. The crack she fell into last time was very narrow and could trap a person.
This gap can only be pulled up by the strength of the three of them.
Huang Li's face turned red, and she used all her strength to slowly move forward.
Director Xiao tried hard to steady himself: "Chu Qiao, why can't we pull it up?"
Netizens on the barrage were also very surprised:
[Logically speaking, with three people, they shouldn't be unable to pull up even one person.]
Xiao Wang is fat, but it's a bit unreasonable that he can't pull it.
Chu Qiao dug his feet into the snow.
"Huang Li, Director Xiao, we're moving forward now because we're dispersing our strength. Do you know how to play tug-of-war?"
Director Xiao: "You take the lead."
Chu Qiao said, "Imagine we are playing tug-of-war. Hold the rope with your palms facing up, point your toes forward, don't be afraid of falling, half squat, stand in a horse stance, press your center of gravity backward, and lean your body backward.
The three of us must exert our strength along the rope straight back, otherwise part of the force will be offset, resulting in half the result with twice the effort.
I shout "1-2". When I shout 1, I have to keep steady, and when I shout 2, I have to pull hard.
Chu Qiao adjusted his posture and shouted 12...
Sure enough, after exerting force rhythmically, Huang Li retreated little by little.
Chu Qiao's shouting rhythm was slow at the beginning, but it got faster as time went on.
"Pull it up." Huang Li shouted excitedly.
