Chapter 60
The people who greeted Chu Huaiqin and the others were from the Sheep Kingdom. According to their intelligence, there were a total of seven teams on the island. The place was rich in resources and had clean water sources. It was not difficult for them to find the daggers, as they were all found under the sand or next to the rocks.
Chu Huaiqin: ...
He wondered if the director had done it on purpose, deliberately because Island A was close to Lookout Island. Island A had six teams, Island B had seven, and Island C only had three. Chu Huaiqin's was the only inter-island team.
After they finished speaking, they received admiring glances from the Sheep Nation. Finally, they offered Chu Huaiqin and the others two bananas, but after being rejected by Chu Huaiqin, they enthusiastically told him about the location of the clean water source.
Chu Huaiqin: Good man!
After the commotion by the shore, it was almost seven o'clock. Summer sets a little late, so the sky was beginning to darken. The five of them dragged their exhausted bodies to a good spot. Xia En prepared to go into the sea, while Chu Huaiqin went to fetch some clean water and see if they could find any bananas. The people in Sheep Country said they were quite easy to find here. The rest of the group tried to build a tent, but were rejected. Lin Zhinan was pushed over. No one was comfortable with him going out alone, even if it meant taking Lin Zhinan, the weakest fighter.
Chu Huaiqin felt that it was unnecessary, but seeing the insistent looks of several people, he had to nod.
Island B is four or five times larger than Island A, and the forest is also more dense. Chu Huaiqin turned on the light of his watch and took Lin Zhinan to follow the route given by the contestants from Sheep Country.
First I saw a rock face, then a very large tree, then a small path...
In the summer, unknown insects chirped and sang as Chu Huaiqin led Lin Zhinan along, the coconut shells tied to their waists clanging. The completely dark forest was terrifying. Aside from the flash of light from their wrists, they could see nothing. Occasionally, when the light swept over, they could see leaves or grass moving, but they had no idea what they were.
"Brother, I seem to see something colorful." Lin Zhinan was a little nervous and tightened his grip on Chu Huaiqin's arm.
"I saw it too. It must be a chameleon." I thought it was strange because I didn't see it on Island A before. After all, it is a tropical island, so it is normal to have this thing.
The two continued walking through the dense forest. Just when Chu Huaiqin was about to get lost, they finally saw a clear water lake the size of a pond.
"Brother, brother, water, water, water..." Lin Zhinan was so tired that he couldn't speak anymore. He ran to the lake and squatted down. He reached in to scoop up some water, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by something cold. "Ah..."
Lin Zhinan screamed and instinctively shook off his wrist. The thing holding Lin Zhinan slipped and was thrown out in an instant, right in the direction of Chu Huaiqin. Chu Huaiqin leaned sideways, and the thing was hit by the tree and fell. When the light shone on it, it was a water snake.
"Don't be afraid, it's a water snake." Chu Huaiqin ran forward a few steps and helped Lin Zhinan up. He felt her whole body trembling and her hands and feet were cold. He sighed softly, half hugged her and patted her back. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a snake."
Live broadcast room: ...
Lin Zhinan was so frightened that he couldn't control his tears and choked out, "I, I thought it was a hand..."
Live broadcast room: ...
Imagine yourself washing your hands by the lake in the middle of the night and being grabbed by the hands underwater...
Many people were instantly frightened and broke out in cold sweats. It seemed very scary.
"It's okay, go wash up, we'll get some water and go back." Seeing that Lin Zhinan was so scared, Chu Huaiqin didn't plan to look for food anymore. He just wanted to send him back first.
Lin Zhinan nodded and wiped away his tears. He walked to the lake and carefully scooped up some water to wash his face and hands, not daring to go any closer.
The two of them used the few coconut shells they had to carry water and returned the same way. When they arrived at the camp, the little monk looked at the water and almost cried, "My dear brother!"
The young monk and Su Huaichen drank the water from a coconut shell and put the rest aside, covering it with leaves. Lin Zhinan, already somewhat apprehensive about the darkness, returned and pulled out a fire drill from his backpack. He quietly sat down next to the unfinished shed, where two watches had been untied and hung from a tree for illumination.
Chu Huaiqin walked towards the beach and found Xia Entang walking along the shore. He hadn't entered the water yet. He was a little surprised to see Chu Huaiqin coming over. Then he said regretfully, "It's all sandy here. If you want to fish, you have to go out to sea."
"Yeah, I didn't notice it before." There was a rocky area next to their camp on Island A, and down there was a bay one or two meters deep with corals, fish and other food. But this place was completely different, and they didn't notice it when they came here.
"Since we can't find it, let's go back! Let's go into the woods and look for it again. We'll find a new campsite tomorrow. It would be best if it's near a rocky area." Chu Huaiqin comforted him. Seeing Xia En heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was taking on the responsibility of providing food for the entire team.
Nineteen years old is still a very young age. He is impulsive, awkward, and not good at speaking, but his serious and responsible character is touching.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia En raised his head and saw Chu Huaiqin's Madonna-like gaze.
"What kind of look?" Chu Huaiqin asked curiously, quite puzzled.
"Look at my son's eyes." Xia En gritted his teeth and stormed off.
Those who understood what was said in the live broadcast room couldn’t stop laughing: Haha, look at my son.
"Do I have a son this big?" Chu Huaiqin was at a loss for words. Just as he was about to go back, he saw a number of small crabs crawling happily on the beach. This reminded Chu Huaiqin of China's famous drunken crabs. The small ones were the most flavorful, and those with good teeth could chew and swallow them. Thinking of this, Chu Huaiqin swallowed unconsciously.
Live broadcast room:
"What delicious food did you think of? It's so rare to see my dear brother swallowing his saliva."
"Ahh, they are not yet adults, let them go!"
"Little crab, run, it's dangerous."
“I don’t know if it’s what I thought.”
Chu Huaiqin sighed softly and decided to let them go, but he couldn't help but grumble, "I don't know if anyone has ever eaten drunken crabs. The crabs are not fat at this time. They become truly delicious during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
This was the first time anyone had interacted with the livestream during the Asian Games. Everyone was howling with excitement, and those who understood responded:
“I’ve eaten it, I’ve eaten it, it’s really good.”
"Ahh, I often eat it raw when watching food shows, but I never dared to try it. Is it really that delicious?"
"My brother's recommendation must be good. Trust me, it's delicious."
Those who didn't understand: "Do you want me to learn Chinese? This is a conspiracy! They want everyone in the world to learn Chinese so that the Chinese can rule the world."
As soon as I heard this, I knew it was a Japanese.
"Although it's a bit small, I can actually stew it with a pot." Chu Huaiqin murmured and walked towards the camp regretfully. Chu Huaiqin thought that it would be troublesome if he couldn't find something to store water here.
When the little monks heard that they might not have any food to eat tonight, their faces turned sad.
"Don't worry, Xia Entang and I will go into the woods to take a look. Remember to call me if you need anything," Chu Huaiqin instructed. He hadn't used the call function on the watch yet, and he didn't know how far it could reach.
"Brother, if you can't find anything to eat, please bring me some tree bark!" The little monk touched his hungry stomach and looked at Chu Huaiqin pitifully.
"Don't worry!" Chu Huaiqin agreed. Thinking of the water snake just now, he shouldn't let it go. "By the way, the shed doesn't need to be too good, as long as it can be used. We may move tomorrow."
The little monk and Su Huaichen looked at the roof that was made of just a few vines tied around a tree and thought that this was the simplest one. After all, they just wanted a roof.
Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang entered the woods, while the young monk and Su Huaichen continued to build their makeshift shed. Lin Zhinan was drilling wood to make a fire. This wood was from Island A, and she often took it out to dry it, so it was very dry and perfect for drilling fire.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. The other teams had already gone to sleep. The little monk had just finished cleaning up the tent, and Lin Zhinan had also started a fire. Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang had not returned yet. It seemed that food was difficult to find.
"Little monk, can this thing be eaten?" A hole was dug and the fire was moved in. The surroundings became brighter. As soon as the light of the watch was turned off, Lin Zhinan saw a round thing like a steamed bun running out. It was very colorful, with its claws in front and as if carrying a head on its back.
"Why are their legs growing in front of their heads?" The little monk was a little surprised by the strangeness of this thing. It looked like a crab but it didn't look like one. "Brother Huaichen, can this be eaten?"
Su Huaichen stared at the thing with an inquiring look until it was about to run away, then he said lightly: "Catch it."
At the command, the hungry little monk turned on the watch light and pounced over instantly, startling a group of strange creatures. Then the three of them watched in surprise as they all climbed up the tree in a flash.
This is a little tree climbing expert!
