Chapter 106
It was impossible to make it public. Chu Huaiqin stacked the maps and put them away, angering many foreign spectators and causing them to curse. The Chinese audience also rolled up their sleeves and fought back. You know, China has a lot of things, but a lot of people. Especially when it comes to the global competition, the number of participants is skyrocketing.
There are many people and many talented people, including students who can speak various languages, people from the society, etc., who are quarreling with each other fiercely. In the end, it can be summed up in one sentence: You foreigners, I have seen through your hypocrisy long ago, you anti-intellectual fools.
The sand radish in the pot was gurgling, and to prevent the smell from flowing to the back, a small fan was blown towards the pot, blowing all the smoke in the opposite direction. The little monk sat opposite the fan, smelling the refreshing sand radish aroma, his stomach growling.
After Chu Huaiqin assembled the bow/crossbow, the sand radish was cooked. No salt, no oil, picky eater? Not at all. They ate with gusto, even finishing off the water.
The temperature began to drop at night. Several teams not far away were still cursing at each other, and finally there was a cry of surprise, and the noise became noisy. After listening carefully, I heard that someone had also found sand radish, but there was a small amount of it, so it was another fight.
Chu Huaiqin and his men had arranged their tents in a triangle: Lin Zhinan in one tent, the monk and Su Huaichen in one, and Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang in another. Coats and blankets were pulled out and wrapped around them. Lin Zhinan, head tilted outward, was fiddling with the bow/crossbow Chu Huaiqin had made, his eyes narrowed with a smile.
"Brother, when we find prey, I'll catch a chicken for you and roast it." Lin Zhinan went back for half a month this time. In addition to exercising, she also learned how to use a bow/crossbow. Because this thing is too lethal, it is banned in China and cannot be bought. She also specially asked someone to help her make one. After practicing, she originally wanted to participate in the competition with the one that Chu Huaiqin had made for her before, but was stopped by the program crew.
"Okay, I'll wait for your roast chicken." Chu Huaiqin's tent door was open, and he lay on the doorway to look at the stars. The number of stars in the desert was amazing, filling the sky with gorgeous and beautiful stars.
"My sister is starting to show off her power. I have to think about how I can help." Su Huaichen sighed. Why did he feel like he was the only one holding her back? "Got it, Huaiqin. I can help you block the attack."
"Forget about the delicate skin and tender flesh, I have you." Xia En put his hands under his chin and carefully breathed in the breath of the person next to him.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Su Huaichen began, "Huaiqin, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What?" Chu Huaiqin responded lazily. He began to feel sleepy.
Su Huaichen, "If you love someone, take her to the desert. The scenery there will make you feel like you are in heaven. If you hate someone, take her to the desert. The hardship there will make you feel like you are in hell."
Chu Huaiqin laughed and said, "Does the production team love me or hate me?"
Su Huaichen was depressed. "Shouldn't you remember this and bring your lover here?"
"Then who do you want to bring?" Chu Huaiqin didn't respond to Su Huaichen, but asked back.
"If the second half of the sentence can come true, it must be that bastard!" Su Huaichen muttered, tucked his head into the tent, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep.
Chu Huaiqin was also very sleepy. He looked at the time and saw it was only ten o'clock, so he said, "Let's all get some rest early. The days in the desert are always long in the summer. It should be dawn by four o'clock tomorrow, or before five. We should get up early and set off tomorrow."
"Okay." Several people responded and went to bed.
However, the first night of the desert race was not peaceful. In the early hours of the morning, a lot of noises came from nowhere, making "wooooo wow wow" sounds. The little monk always had amazing hearing and was the first to wake up. He was so scared that he kept shouting "brother, brother" several times, which woke Xia Entang up first.
"What's going on?" Xia En put his hands over Chu Huaiqin's ears and scolded in a low voice.
"Yes, there is a sound." The little monk was so scared that he hugged Su Huaichen tightly through the blanket, and his whole body was shaking.
"What are you afraid of? It's just the sand." Xia En saw Chu Huaiqin frowning and about to wake up, and his tone towards the little monk suddenly became unpleasant. He suspected that Chu had a special physique, and the more rest he got, the better, and the harder it would be to travel.
"Why are you screaming?" The little monk didn't stop until he got the answer.
"The desert is moving," Xia En gritted his teeth and uttered a few words, then continued, "If you make another sound, I'll drag you out and let them take you away with them."
Little Monk: ...
The Chinese audience, whose time difference is six hours behind that of the Moyer Desert, was at around six in the morning. Many people were getting ready to go to school or work. When they opened the live broadcast room, they heard the conversation between Xia Entropy and the little monk and burst out laughing.
The little monk was scolded, and he pouted and dared not say anything, but just hugged Su Huaichen tighter.
The next day, when it was still dark, the five of them got up and were shivering with cold. The temperature was horrible. It was as hot as a dog during the day and as cold as ice at night.
I specially saved a sand radish last night and stewed it as soon as I got up this morning. Turning on the watch light, a few people began to pack up. The little monk, with two panda eyes, sat on the ground wrapped in his coat, motionless.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqin asked curiously when he saw that the little monk didn't seem to sleep well.
It’s best to sleep when it’s cold. What’s wrong with the little monk?
"Brother, the sand was moving last night. Will it move us away?" The little monk looked at Chu Huaiqin with a frightened face.
Chu Huaiqin blinked, and it took him a while to understand what the little monk meant. He kicked Xia En in a state of confusion.
"That's crying sand. The sand is making noises due to geographical reasons, not moving."
"real?"
"real."
"I was so scared. I thought the sand would grow legs and move around at night. I was afraid that they would move me away. I didn't sleep all night holding Su Huaichen." The little monk instantly became energetic, jumped up from the ground, and smiled.
Su Huaichen looked at the little monk dimly, "You hugged me because you thought that if the sand took you away, at least you could keep me company, right?"
The little monk nodded with difficulty, "I wanted to hug my brother, but Xia Entang said that if I made any more noise, he would throw me out and move me with the sand."
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"Haha, is that so?" Su Huaichen sneered and raised the trekking pole in his hand, "Stand up if you can."
"No." The little monk slipped away immediately when he saw Su Huaichen running towards him with a trekking pole.
The two of them chatted for a while, then when the sand radish was cooked, they drank a bowl of hot water, and their feelings warmed up. However, the water was running low, so besides hurrying on their way, they also had to start keeping an eye on the water.
When the five of them set out, the others were still asleep and snoring.
The desert in the early morning was very comfortable, and Chu Huaiqin's speed was not slow. The foreign audiences in the live broadcast room were stunned. What was going on?
"How come it's normal?"
"Is it because the others are not here that you are not pretending anymore?"
"No, no, I think he might be different from ordinary people. He can't see the light. The sun will make him weak. Vampire, yes, a vampire."
Chinese audience: What a rich imagination.
The desert started to get hot after the sun came out, so he took off his coat. The people in the live broadcast room also saw that Chu Huaiqin had wilted, and he was regaining his old man's body with the help of a cane.
Foreign viewers in the live broadcast room once again slammed their tables to confirm: Yes, he is really afraid of the sun.
Chu Huaiqin's itinerary today differed from yesterday's in that he began observing every detail along the route. Around ten o'clock in the morning, they reached the second spot on the map marked as likely to have poultry. But then the other teams arrived, and the five of them exchanged glances, with Su Huaichen starting to yell.
"Oh, I'm so tired. I don't want to walk anymore. I must rest." After saying that, he sat down. It was so hot that he jumped up. He cursed, threw his backpack away, and sat on it.
Lin Zhinan also frowned and walked away. Su Huaichen took off his backpack, made a bitter face, and called pitifully: "Brother, take a rest."
The audience in the live broadcast room who didn't participate in the map wave last night were amused. It was the first time they saw a little sister acting like a spoiled child! Agree, you must agree.
The foreign audience members were yelling and shouting, they must have discovered that there was food here. The Chinese were so cunning that they actually acted.
The author has something to say: I have searched for the following sentence for a long time, and it is everywhere on Baidu, but I cannot find the source. If it infringes upon my rights, I will delete it immediately.
“If you love someone, take her to the desert. The scenery there will make you feel like you are in heaven. If you hate someone, take her to the desert. The hardship there will make you feel like you are in hell.”
