Chapter 222
The live broadcast room watched as this group of angry local residents ignored Chu Huaiqin's explanation, and rushed towards Chu Huaiqin with all kinds of "weapons" raised, screaming "Ahhh", and did not forget to order Chu Huaiqin how to run, even though he could not hear at all.
"Ahhh, someone's outflankin' on the left, run to the right."
"No, there are people on the right too. Run straight."
"No, that's a sheep pen. Oh my God, I'm dizzy from shouting. Ahhh, be careful with the broom."
The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded when they saw an old man sweeping over with a long broom. The only thought in their mind was: Oh no, my brother will definitely be beheaded.
"Bang!"
Chu Huaiqin dodged the old man's attack by bending down, turned around and ran, shouting and explaining as he ran, but the old man couldn't understand him. So the audience in the live broadcast room were fortunate to see a group of people chasing Chu Huaiqin around the small village.
A man with outstanding appearance and slender figure ran easily in front, turning back and shouting from time to time. Behind him were more than ten or twenty old people and children, holding knives, sticks, brooms and iron rakes, and they kept on doing things in a very strange way.
At the beginning, the audience in the live broadcast room were still very worried, but after running a few laps, they found that these residents began to feel tired, and one after another slowly stopped to catch their breath. Only a few young people were still chasing Chu Huaiqin, running and saying something anxiously.
"Pfft, haha, so there's such a method. If I can't beat you, can I still outrun you?"
"We can't do anything, right? There are only old people and children here, not many young people. Is this a left-behind village?"
"Life in the Arctic Circle is very difficult. All the young people who can leave have left. It's no wonder they are nervous."
"So what should we do now? My dear brother is tired of leading them, so we're going to go back empty-handed?"
As the livestream finished, Chu Huaiqin suddenly changed course and headed towards the mountain. The audience was bewildered. A drone zoomed in at the perfect moment, revealing several people on motorcycles heading their way.
The people behind saw the car coming and stopped chasing, pausing to catch their breath. Chu Huaiqin also stopped running and paused to catch his breath. Although he was better off than his pursuers, he was too overdressed, and running was very strenuous and exhausting.
The people in the car seemed to have noticed the situation as well, so they stopped the car and got out. Chu Huaiqin took a look and smiled, thinking, "It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land!"
"Hello, you are researchers, right?" Chu Huaiqin trotted over to the three of them and greeted them with a smile. The clothes they wore were very recognizable, and Chu Huaiqin knew who they were at a glance.
"Ah, you're Chu Huaiqin. I recognize you." One of the young men stepped forward and shook hands with Chu Huaiqin. "My name is Chen Zhong. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to participate in the show, the live broadcast room for wilderness survival." Chu Huaiqin replied.
"Hey, are you still here this year?" the man asked curiously. "I've been in the Arctic for almost half a year and didn't even know this news. By the way, Professor Chen, this is Chu Huaiqin."
"I recognize him," Professor Chen, who looked to be about fifty years old, glanced at Chu Huaiqin and the locals. "What's going on?"
After he finished speaking, the local resident who had stopped to catch his breath suddenly ran over, chattered to Professor Chen for a while, and finally glared at Chu Huaiqin angrily.
“Absolutely not.” Although Chu Huaiqin didn’t understand what was said, he was sure it wasn’t a good thing. “Our production team is behind three big mountains. The production team said that if you need food, you can go fishing here to exchange it. I didn’t expect the production team to not greet the locals at all. Just now, I was with that little girl…”
Chu Huaiqin recounted what had just happened and asked Professor Chen to help explain.
After Professor Chen translated for the man for a while, he called the girl over to confront her and finally cleared up the misunderstanding.
Finally, Chu Huaiqin successfully exchanged a handful of salt and a small bag of flour. After all, living in the Arctic, cod is expensive outside, but it's very cheap here. He put the things in the back of the car and rode his bicycle back home. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Chen Zhong to visit their Arctic research base if he had the chance. Chu Huaiqin also found out that there was only one person in the small village who spoke English, a position similar to that of the village chief. Chu Huaiqin went to introduce himself to the village chief, but unfortunately, he was not home that day.
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room were overjoyed to see Chu Huaiqin get the things he wanted, and they celebrated wildly in the barrage, making the Peppa Pig fans who had said so much before blush.
Although there is no night in the Arctic, the temperature will drop a little during this period of time. Chu Huaiqin looked at his watch. Normally, it is already eight o'clock in the evening.
“Ah~”
The menacing howl of a wolf echoed from the other side of the mountain, and Chu Huaiqin was startled. "Polar bear, silly! If you don't provoke it and stay at a distance, it won't attack you." Wolves are different. Arctic wolves are inherently aggressive beasts, especially now that summer is the time for them to accumulate fat. Furthermore, wolves are social animals, hunting together. If Chu Huaiqin were to face one alone, he would simply become another piece of their fat-filled food, making it difficult for him to escape.
Thinking of this, Chu Huaiqin couldn't help but speed up his pedaling.
The audience in the live broadcast room were frightened when they heard the wolf howling. They used the wide field of view of the drone to look around, but there were almost no plains here, mostly hills, and the view was not far.
"Hurry up, dear brother, don't let the wolf catch up with you."
"That's when the snowmobile's advantages come into play. Shouldn't I have chosen a snowmobile in the first place?"
"You guys in Group A are stupid. You just follow Chu's lead and you'll regret it eventually."
"We're happy to do it, it's none of your business. Wait, you'll regret it. My brother must have his reasons for choosing a snow bike."
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room was furious.
Chu Huaiqin quickly returned to the camp. The igloo had already taken on a cone-like shape, with two shallow layers. Everyone had already returned, forming a circle. Inside the circle was a semi-open ice wall, used to block the wind and cook food. Lin Zhinan was boiling water.
Since the snow and ice in the Arctic have accumulated over the years and are not fresh, even though the animals here sometimes drink it, for safety reasons, the program team still provides water. However, the water supply is limited and must be exchanged for fish when it is used up.
"elder brother……"
"Chu..."
Two voices sounded at the same time. Lin Zhinan and the little monk ran over happily. Peppa also arrived. When they saw the half bag of salt and flour in Chu Huaiqin's hand, they were dumbfounded.
Paige asked in disbelief, "Why?"
I can't believe that those unruly people actually exchanged food for Chu Huaiqin.
Chu Huaiqin smiled: "Because..."
"Sister, what happened to your face?" The little monk exclaimed, looking at Lin Zhinan's bruised cheek with heartache. Because the temperature was too low, everyone's scarves were pulled up to their cheeks. No one had noticed that Lin Zhinan's face was injured before. Just now, Lin Zhinan was squatting, and now when she stood up, her scarf fell down and was seen by the little monk.
"I, I accidentally fell while fishing just now, and my face hit the ice." Lin Zhinan said, turning his head, and happened to meet Chu Huaiqin's inquiring gaze. He suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly looked away.
"Ah, how could you be so careless? The ice is very slippery," the little monk said anxiously, jumping up and down. "Did you apply medicine? Does it hurt?"
"I've applied the medicine. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." Lin Zhinan shook his head repeatedly and smiled at Chu Huaiqin, "Brother, let's make pancakes. I know how to make them. Or should we make dumpling soup?"
Chu Huaiqin walked up to Lin Zhinan and handed the flour to the little monk. His expression made the people in the live broadcast room scream with fear.
"Look at me." Chu Huaiqin's voice was neither cold nor heavy, but it made the atmosphere suddenly become strange.
"I, I..." Lin Zhinan lowered his head, his eyes turned a little red in an instant, he sniffed, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Ah, sister, did someone bully you?" The little monk thought of last year's Asian and global competitions, when those people often bullied his sister when they were not around. "Tell me, who was it?"
The little monk was so angry that he clenched his fists while holding the flour.
When Xia En and Edward heard someone bullying Lin Zhinan, they frowned. However, Edward reached out and pulled the flour in the little monk's arms, pulling him over to hold it himself. This was precious food.
"I accidentally dropped the fish on her head when I was fishing." Lin Zhinan murmured back.
"And then he hit you?" Edward couldn't believe it. Who would be so cruel as to hit a little girl?
Lin Zhinan: "No, it was when she let go that I lost my balance and fell down and hit her."
Chu Huaiqin: "Where's the fish?"
"She took it."
"I pulled you, shook my hand off, and you fell, and I took the fish away, right?"
Chu Huaiqin gathered information from Lin Zhinan's words. He wasn't just randomly guessing that the other party grabbed Lin Zhinan and then let go. He saw a gray handprint on the white fur of Lin Zhinan's down jacket hood, which Lin Zhinan couldn't see from his angle. Plus, their shoes were specially made, perfect for walking on ice, so they wouldn't fall so easily. So there was only one possibility -
"Is that so?" Xia En's face looked not very good, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Lin Zhinan nodded and whispered, "She said she would take the fish as compensation, and I agreed."
"Damn it, damn it, brother, we can't just let this go." The little monk was so angry that he almost jumped up. "He could just take the fish, why did he push my sister? Damn it, damn it!"
Peppa Pig didn't understand Chinese, but seeing Lin Zhinan's injuries and the little monk's indignant look, she knew that the little girl's injuries were serious.
"Who is it?"
"Ilona."
Chu Huaiqin looked at Xia En and Edward.
"Well, although I am a gentleman, we still have to make her realize her mistake." Edward nodded vigorously. The little girl was so well-behaved. They only had half a fish left, but she still caught three smelts and boiled water for them. How could Ilona be so excessive? He was angry.
"We can't let it go like this." Xia En also felt the same way. They would live here for three months and it was impossible for them to keep an eye on Lin Zhinan all the time. If they didn't deal with this matter, would the other party continue to be arrogant and domineering?
But, since she is a woman, it is a bit difficult to deal with. If it were a man, we could just pick him out and beat him up.
"Brother, Brother Xia En, I'm fine. It's just a little painful. It will be fine soon after applying the medicine." Lin Zhinan said hurriedly.
"Don't worry!" Chu Huaiqin patted Lin Zhinan's shoulder and said to the little monk, "Take her to see Anthony and let the doctor see if her cheek bone is injured."
When the little monk heard this, his eyes widened and he quickly pulled Lin Zhinan away.
Paige was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't understand anything else just now, he understood the pronunciation of the three words "Ilona". This woman was not easy to mess with. He looked at Chu Huaiqin, but saw that he was smiling at him.
Peppa Pig: It's over! Why didn't I run?
Live broadcast room: Mom, my brother’s smile is so scary.
