Chapter 246
The thunderstorm season in the Arctic is very terrible. The rain hurts when it hits your face. The sea water has flooded up and the boat is swaying in the sea, as if it is about to break free at any time.
"Alexander and I will slow down the boats. Xia En, Franco, and Liman, you guys pull the ropes and come one by one." Chu Huaiqin waded into the sea. Xia En reached out and didn't hold on, so he said angrily, "You..."
"Hurry up, it's so cold." Chu Huaiqin waved to Xia En, half of his body was soaked in water, the biting cold rushed out from his bones, and Chu Huaiqin's bones were stiff.
"Hurry, Franco, Liman, come and pull the rope." Xia En shouted and pulled the anchor up along the rope on the sea.
Alexander walked to the other side of the boat. Even though he was used to the cold, the damp, chilly water made him shiver. He couldn't help but yell, "Hurry! I'm freezing!"
“Huh!”
They pulled the rope in front and pushed the boat forward steadily from the back. The heavy rain hit everyone's face, making everyone wet and cold. The lightning across the sea and sky was like a sharp sword, trying to split the sea. From time to time, the deafening thunder seemed to be booming overhead, and the little monk and Edward screamed in fear.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt heartbroken when they saw everyone pulling the boat in the sea.
"Ahhh, Anthony is acting like a nobody again."
"This is so scary, is there an undercurrent?"
"The water is getting higher and higher. It was at my waist just now, but now it's at my chest. Did the dam break somewhere?"
"Oh my god, the sea water just now pushed the boat towards my brother. Did he hit his face?"
"Ah, Paige fell down. Was she swept away by the undercurrent?"
"It came out and scared me to death."
"Come on, everyone."
The wind was strong and the waves were huge. It was really tiring. I was pushing from the back and finally pulled the boat up a little bit in front, but it was pulled up again by the sea water. The boat was swaying back and forth, and people standing next to it were hit from time to time. In this kind of weather, it was really painful, especially for Chu Huaiqin who was afraid of pain. Tears came out when he was hit.
"Pfft, Chu, you're crying, hahaha." Alexander leaned over the boat with his hands pressed against it, watching Chu gasping for air, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt a strange sensation in his chest. He knew Chu was good-looking, but this Chu with tears in her eyes looked even better. Chu was usually too strong, and it was rare to see him with a weak side, which made Alexander particularly curious.
"Don't look at me, let's push forward with the rhythm of the waves." Chu Huaiqin's cheek was hit and it really hurt. If it were on land, he could dodge it, but it would be difficult to do so in the water, especially when the waves hit upwards.
"Rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm." Franco, who was pulling the rope, also discovered it. They thought it was easy to pull, but who knew it would be so troublesome.
"Okay, when we shout, you pull up." Alexander responded, looked at Chu Huaiqin, and smiled again. After being hit by the boat, he was in so much pain that he spoke less. He looked quite pitiful, and he wanted to laugh.
"The waves are coming, five, four, three, two, one, pull!"
“Huh!”
Finding the rhythm made it much easier. Once the first boat was pulled up, the rest would be easier. Pulling them up wasn't enough; they also had to carry them to land, where the tide couldn't reach them. Cold and stiff, one by one, they walked like zombies, their faces blue.
"Hurry, speed up, if you wait any longer I won't be able to move." Wade felt like his fingers were not his own.
"Wow~ Everyone, hurry up, it's really cold." The little monk started crying.
"Damn, damn, hurry up!" Paige was also jumping with cold. Edward had curled up into a ball and didn't want to talk at all.
The live broadcast room was so angry that people started cursing at the director team. There were two other people in the tent, Lin Zhinan and Ilona. No one wanted to go into the water with them, so they stayed to cook.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Lin Zhinan was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He wanted to help but didn't know how.
"What should we do? It's so noisy. You should just go and help." Ilona stood at the entrance of the tent with her arms folded in frustration.
Lin Zhinan calmed down after this incident. After thinking for a while, he put on his raincoat, fished a few fish from the bucket and ran out.
"Hey, you," Ilona was also frightened by Lin Zhinan, thinking that she really went to help. Thinking of the stupid men in Group A who protected their shortcomings, she instinctively wanted to call her back, but saw her running towards the director team, "Forget it, it's none of my business."
Ilona returned to the tent, not wanting to watch anymore.
"Coke, ginger!" Lin Zhinan gestured with his hands and feet, trying his best to explain what he wanted.
The foreign assistant director was confused. He first gave Lin Zhinan three bottles of 1.25L Coke and asked, "Jiang, what is this?"
"I know. I brought quite a bit." The Huaguo director returned with a small bag. "But how do we exchange them?"
"I've changed them all." Lin Zhinan stuffed the fish into the hands of the Huaguo director and ran away with the bag of ginger. However, because he still had three bottles of Coke, he stumbled as he ran, which was funny and cute.
Live broadcast room
"A fish was traded for a bag of ginger. My sister has learned bad things."
"I can understand exchanging it for Coke, but what do you want to exchange it for ginger?"
"Yeah, that's weird!"
"Jiang Le, this is a Chinese secret recipe for treating colds. We don't tell anyone about it."
"Yes, it can prevent colds, but it tastes, uh."
Some foreign viewers in the live broadcast room were curious and said they would try it right away, while others who had tried it had expressions that were hard to describe.
When Ilona saw Lin Zhinan coming back with Coke, her eyes lit up and she took the cup and started drinking: "You are finally useful."
Lin Zhinan didn't say anything. He washed the ginger, flattened it, and set up the pot. Seeing that the people who went to move the boat were about to return, he lit the fire, put ginger and Coke in the pot. Ilona was dumbfounded when she saw Lin Zhinan pouring Coke into the pot.
"Hey, what are you doing? What a waste." Ilona said in disbelief.
"I'm cooking Jiang Le, you don't understand." Lin Zhinan said angrily. He didn't finish the three bottles of Coke, he only poured out two.
After the three teams moved the boat, they were so stiff that they could hardly walk, but they still gritted their teeth and rushed to the tent. As soon as they entered, a spicy and sweet smell rushed over, choking their noses. But after the unexpected choking, they felt very comfortable.
“Ahem!”
"What is it?"
"Sweet and minty?"
"Fennel? That smells terrible."
“I think it smells delicious!”
"It's ginger."
Lin Zhinan, who was cooking Jiang Le, stood up quickly, feeling a little nervous. From what everyone said, did they not like it?
"Zhinan, let's go change clothes. Get me and my brother a drink." Xia En said, pulling Chu Huaiqin to the compartment. This tent had a separate area for the two girls and also a place for them to change clothes.
"Ah, I want some too. I want to drink it now. It's so cold!" The little monk jumped to Lin Zhinan's side with a blue face.
"What is it? Is it delicious?" Edward also came over. The smoke here was rising up, it was so warm. He couldn't help but put his face on the smoke, warm and spicy: "Cough cough cough!"
Edward, who wanted to use the smoke to keep warm, choked and his face turned red. The little monk had already taken the cup and blew hard on it. When he felt the temperature was about right, he took a sip and it cracked.
"It's so hot, so hot, so hot." The little monk jumped because of the spiciness. Edward, who wanted to take a sip, put it down silently and went to change his clothes.
Chu Huaiqin changed his clothes and came out. Jiang Le had already cooled down. But after taking a bite, he still felt hot and spicy, from his throat to his stomach. But it finally warmed up a lot.
"Is it really drinkable?" Alexander saw that Xia En's brows were almost twisted into a knot, and seriously doubted the effectiveness of this thing.
"Yes." Xia En replied, and after taking a few sips, he started sweating.
"I think it should be okay." Edward always trusted Chu Huaiqin and the others, so he ordered a cup as well. After drinking it, his face wrinkled and he stuck out his tongue because of the spiciness. "It's so hot, so spicy."
"Actually, it's not hot anymore, it's just too spicy, so it feels hot." After taking two sips, Chu Huaiqin felt warmed up and drank slowly.
"Well, my mouth doesn't hurt anymore," Edward said. "Great, I feel like I'm warming up from the inside out. Have another sip."
He drank a few more sips with a bitter face, his face flushed and he began to sweat. The people who came out after changing clothes were amazed. Is it really that amazing? Even after changing clothes, their bodies were still stiff, and this person was sweating?
Ali, unconvinced, pinched Edward's face, instantly freezing him to the point of yelping. But Ali confirmed it worked. So he ordered a drink, and after halfway through, he was literally sweating all over. Seeing the effect, others wanted to try it too, even though it was uncomfortable for a while, it was better than feeling like your insides were in the freezer. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
Of course, some people didn't drink it and only took medicine to prevent colds. Those who drank the ginger music felt warm all over and could walk around in the tent. Those who didn't drink it covered themselves with three layers of quilts but still felt cold. They only recovered after eating a bowl of hot noodles.
"Follow Chu, there are indeed delicious things. This noodle is so delicious. The little girl's cooking skills are so good."
"I finally understand why Paige likes to go to your team. It's because of her stuttering."
"It's amazing! She can pull out noodles with her hands without any tools. The little girl is amazing."
"We should have teamed up with Chu and the others from the beginning."
"It's okay if Chu doesn't want it, just give the little girl to us."
Everyone praised the drink highly. There was still a bottle of Coke left, so everyone had a small cup. After drinking it, they felt drowsy. However, this night was destined to be a sleepless one. In the middle of the night, five people had fever, and they were all those who had not drunk Jiangle.
Live audience: "Mysterious power from the East."
The thunderstorms continued into the third day and showed no signs of ending. Everyone was trapped and almost getting scared. They played "Drop the Handkerchief" in the tent. Any number of people could participate and it was a good way to exercise. Or they could play "Statue". The little monk and Peppa Pig provided the laughs. The audience in the live broadcast room shouted that they could watch it for several months.
In addition to being bored from being trapped, everyone had almost finished their food. It was impossible for the participating teams to go out to sea to fish during the thunderstorm, and there were still six days left until the end of the program.
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves, and more than a dozen people gathered together to eat dinner.
Franco bit into the bread and asked, "What should I do? This is my last meal."
Paige smiled mysteriously: "I have an idea."
Edward: "You'd better forget it. Your idea must be to go to the program team to grab it."
Alexander: "Chu, what do you say?"
"Let's see tomorrow, maybe the wind will stop tomorrow!" Chu Huaiqin walked to the tent door with the bowl in his hand. Paige and Edward also walked over with their bowls in their hands and smiled.
Paige laughed: "Chu, the waves are almost two meters high."
Edward asked worriedly, "Will there be a tsunami?"
Everyone: "Get lost!"
The production team was also holding a tense meeting about this situation. Should they retreat to the residential area, end the competition, or wait a little longer? For a while, no one could make up their minds. This meeting was not hidden from the audience and was almost entirely broadcast live.
The audience in the live broadcast room was instantly sad: "No, I want to watch more."
