Chapter 52
The woods were right next to them, so the little monk and Lin Zhinan didn't have to go far to find branches. Stones were also easy to find. There were many small and large stones on one side of the beach. The large stones were angular, while the small stones became round after being washed by the sea for a long time. The three of them picked up a few pebbles from the pile of stones and found a large, hard stone.
Chu Huaiqin shook the fist-sized stone in his hand, asked Xia En and Su Huaichen to move away, and then stood a certain distance away from the stone, taking a stance...
Chu Huaiqin's behavior attracted a lot of people's attention. After they got ashore, they didn't know what to do for a while and were a little confused. Seeing Chu Huaiqin's strange behavior, they all surrounded him.
There was a translator in the A1 live broadcast room, and everything was translated into English. Many people knew what Chu Huaiqin wanted to do, but most people thought that it was impossible for Chu Huaiqin to break it open. Some people even mocked Quan Kai, thinking that he was working in vain.
Peacock Kingdom: "This guy must be joking. How can he possibly smash a rock as big as a fist?"
Daquguo: "Chinese people are very exaggerated and like to do things that attract attention."
Goryeo: "That's right, they are always so self-righteous."
Hua Guo: "You guys, wait, kneel down and call me daddy."
Although the domestic audience was angry, they suppressed their anger and said nothing. However, they prayed silently in their hearts: It must be smashed open, it must be smashed open.
After Chu Huaiqin found his preparation position, he jumped twice to get a feel for it, and then, before everyone could react, he suddenly threw the pebble in his hand at the big rock. With a loud bang, the pebble as big as a fist exploded instantly and fell on the beach.
Everyone: ...
"Soooo, su go i (so good)"
A whistle sounded nearby, and Chu Huaiqin turned around to see two striking Japanese artists, their eyes gleaming as they stared at him. Xia En immediately stepped in front of Chu Huaiqin, blocking their gaze and glaring at them fiercely.
Both of them: ...
live streaming:
Japan: "Calling Korea, please kneel down and call me daddy!"
Others in the live broadcast room: ...
Chu Huaiqin successfully obtained the blades and picked them up. There were two large and three small ones. One of the large ones was shaped like an axe, and the other was three fingers wide. One end was very sharp, and you could feel the sharpness with your fingers. The three small ones were only two fingers wide and very practical.
The others saw this and thought it was a good idea. They didn't have a dagger, so they needed one if they wanted to cut things. So they went to pick up stones and prepared to smash out three big and two small ones.
Domestic fans in the live broadcast room flooded the screen with various languages:
"Please apologize." "Please kneel down and call me daddy."
The latter is impossible. As for the former, a few people apologized, but the others pretended to be dead.
The little monk and Lin Zhinan had already picked up a lot of dry branches and were worrying about how to make a hole in the tree trunk to make fire. When they saw the small axe in Chu Huaiqin's hand, they almost jumped for joy.
The dryness of the wood is very important when drilling wood to make fire. Chu Huaiqin took a tree trunk and knocked a V-shaped hole in the middle with a sharp stone. Lin Zhinan took out the drill bit he had made before, stepped on the tree trunk, placed the fine fluff that fell from the coconut tree next to the V-shaped hole, and began to pull the bow-shaped drill bit.
Seeing that she was doing it right, Chu Huaiqin let her do it herself. The little monk was warming up to climb the tree. Not far from the little monk, there were already people from other teams climbing up without any safety equipment. At a height of more than ten meters, they were full of confidence.
Chu Huaiqin did not intend to let the little monk go up like this. Instead, he took off his belt and tied it together with the little monk's belt. This was used to tie the little monk's waist to the tree. When he climbed up, he just had to lean his waist backward to get stuck and not fall down.
"Brother, don't worry. Although I haven't climbed a coconut tree before, I have climbed a tree this high before." He was not afraid of cliffs, so this was a piece of cake. The little monk kicked his left foot upwards and successfully kicked the tree, forming a straight line.
"Listen to me," Chu Huaiqin did not allow the little monk to object. He tied the man to the tree ring and pulled it together. It was quite strong. "Don't be anxious when you go up. Take your time. If it doesn't work, come down. We will think of other ways."
Chu Huaiqin felt that he might be able to give it a try, although he had never climbed such a high tree.
"Brother, don't worry..."
"I'm going into the sea." Xia En was holding up a long branch with a sharp stone tied to one end with bark to make a harpoon.
"When you go into the sea, you must pay attention to the current. Don't go to places with fast currents. It's best to swim along the beach, okay?" Chu Huaiqin said seriously. Xia En nodded with a smile on his face, and his dimples were faintly visible.
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"I see," Xia En nodded and pointed upwards. "He went up."
Chu Huaiqin turned around and saw that the little monk had climbed to a height of three or four meters. His forehead muscles jumped, "You haven't even taken the stone knife up yet."
"Oh, I forgot, brother, throw it up!" The little monk's body formed a V shape with the tree, his feet were stuck on the tree, one hand half hugged the tree, and he stretched out one hand, which made Chu Huaiqin tremble with fear.
Chu Huaiqin threw the stone to the little monk and watched him put it in his pocket and then jump up like a monkey. Looking back, he saw that Xia En had already gone into the sea. Chu Huaiqin wondered if he had underestimated the strength of their team.
As Xia Entang entered the water, the director strapped a camera to his head, and a cameraman and diver followed. The A1 lens focused on him, allowing everyone in the livestream to see the ocean below. Beneath the clear waters lay countless creatures, corals, and various fish. Seeing him catch a snail, then a fish, the audience was filled with envy, wanting to shout to their own country's participating team, "Go catch some fish! There's food!"
Chu Huaiqin originally wanted to find food on land with Su Huaichen, but when he saw the little monk climbed so high, he didn't have the heart to go. It was impossible for Su Huaichen to enter the unknown forest alone, so he ran to find coconut leaves to make a shed.
There are a lot of short coconut trees here, and the coconut leaves are in bunches. Su Huaichen used a stone to smash directly from the V-shaped position, hitting them one bunch at a time.
Chu Huaiqin's side was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the other teams were also proceeding in an orderly manner. Only the artists from Goryeo and Japan were at a loss. They could neither climb up the trees nor go down to the sea. They had to turn their attention to the foreign aid personnel. At this time, they had to rely on them.
But fortunately, they didn't go too far and ran to collect firewood.
After the little monk climbed up, he took out the stone axe given by Chu Huaiqin and smashed it on the base of the coconut. Chu Huaiqin below hurriedly stepped back and saw coconuts falling down one by one. The soft sand on the beach acted as a buffer, and the coconuts did not crack when they fell.
The little monk smashed all the coconuts on the tree, but there were only seven or eight of them. He put the stone axe into his trouser pocket and looked back at the sea behind him. The azure sky was connected to the sea, which was boundless and vast. The sea breeze blew gently, and the little monk didn't want to go down at all.
Chu Huaiqin looked at the little monk shaking his head and shouted, "Little monk, come down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little monk suddenly slipped for some reason and slid down. The people in the live broadcast room who were originally laughing at him screamed in fear when they saw this action. They all thought the little monk was going to fall to his death. However, the belt around his waist got stuck, and the little monk took this opportunity to hug the tree to stop himself from sliding down.
Then, he no longer wanted to enjoy the scenery, so he slid down the tree, hugging it.
Chu Huaiqin's mind was confused for a while. Seeing the little monk coming down from the tree, he stood there blankly until the little monk walked up to him, and then he came to his senses.
"What were you doing up there?"
Chu Huaiqin's voice was cold. This was the first time the young monk had heard him speak like this, and his heart skipped a beat. Chu Huaiqin was angry. Such a thought popped up in his usually slow-witted mind. He couldn't help but panic. He didn't dare to look Chu Huaiqin in the eye. He pulled at the corner of his clothes and stammered, "I, I was looking at the scenery, and then, I saw that tower again, and I was scared."
"Do you know how dangerous this is?" Chu Huaiqin's face was still serious, and his voice was still cold, which made the little monk unable to raise his head.
"Poor, monk, I was wrong," the little monk's eyes turned red, he raised his head and said pitifully, "Brother, I, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Poverty, monk, should not be distracted."
"This won't happen again."
"This won't happen again."
"Okay, let's go back!" Chu Huaiqin finally softened his voice and squatted down to hold the coconut. "You are a great hero today."
The little monk breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his brother was not angry.
Picking up the coconut, they walked back. Halfway along, Chu Huaiqin stopped and looked at the watchtower in the distance. It was too far away, and he could only vaguely see its outline, and couldn't make out anything else. He didn't know what the little monk was afraid of.
Seven coconuts were brought back, and the little monk was praised by Lin Zhinan, but her fire still did not come out, and her V hole was already dark. Chu Huaiqin asked the little monk to accompany Lin Zhinan, and he and Su Huaichen went into the woods before dark.
Not long after Chu Huaiqin and Su Huaichen entered the woods, Xia Entang came back with two fish, an octopus, and several snails. Lin Zhinan's fire had just started, and slowly the fire grew bigger and bigger. The little monk hurriedly dug a big hole to move the fire in so that the wind would not blow the ashes everywhere.
Xia Entang had killed the fish with a stone. The little monk stuck it on a branch and roasted it. He also threw the snails into the fire. The octopus was a bit troublesome and could not be stuck. It kept twisting and crawling. As a last resort, the little monk ran to get a piece of big-leafed tree, wrapped the octopus in it, tied it tightly with bark, and threw it directly into the fire.
It was getting dark, and Chu Huaiqin and Su Huaichen hadn't returned yet. Xia Entang was getting restless and was about to get up to find someone when Park Sun-won, a Korean artist from next door, came over and chattered, asking for a fire. There were six teams scattered across the beach, but only theirs had a fire.
"Oh, Huo, sure! Bring me something in exchange." Xia Entanglement looked at the other party stunned for a moment, snorted lightly, and was about to leave when he was stopped again.
"You have already started the fire, we just need to light it." Park Sun-won was surprised. Why don't Chinese people know how to share?
Xia En laughed coldly, pulled Lin Zhinan up from her seat, and spread her hands in front of him. "Wait until your hands become like this when you start a fire, and then come and tell me, 'It's just a fire.'"
The palm in front of him was rubbed red and blistered at the base of his palm, looking miserable.
