Chapter 8
Chu Huaiqin and his team came back with small crucian carp. The members of Group A3, who had been climbing the mountain for a whole day, were so excited when they saw the raw fish that they almost had green eyes.
"How do you want to eat it? Roast it?" The little monk licked the corner of his mouth, not hiding his desire to eat meat at all.
"Let's see how many there are." Chu Huaiqin had been fishing from below and hadn't counted them. Others had also caught some, so there should be ten.
Su Huaichen immediately said, "There are fifteen."
These fish were killed by him and An Shunan. Since it was related to their stomach, he counted them clearly.
"How about roasting nine and making soup with six?" Chu Huaiqin asked, but he had already started rolling up his sleeves, and his posture seemed to be that he was the one who was doing the cooking.
"Of course I can, but you have to cook?" Su Huaichen was a little skeptical. Although he thought Chu Huaiqin was good, he couldn't deny all the rumors. "How about we let the little monk do it?"
"He wants to make torches. Feng Shan and An Shunan will help him. Senior, please help me cook. My sister and Bingxiang will set up the tent!" The tents given to them by the program team were simple ones, made of soft bones. After untying the straps, they could jump into a square tent by themselves and then fix the four corners. The biggest disadvantage of this kind of tent is that you have to rely on your body weight to keep it in place when you sleep. Then Chu Huaiqin said, "Others, take torches and look around to see if you can find anything to eat."
Everyone agreed, and a group of four, led by Lin Yongfu, set off with the torch made by the little monk. The little monk also left with the other two. To make torches, they first had to get resin. There were many pine trees here, so getting resin was not difficult.
The live broadcast room was also surprised that Chu Huaiqin was going to cook. After all, there were rumors that Chu Huaiqin had to eat five-star hotel meals when filming, so everyone subconsciously thought that he didn't know how to cook at all.
"Pfft, Allen Chu isn't trying to be an all-powerful persona, is he? He's even frying fish, it's hilarious."
"Why were you so sarcastic earlier? We'll know whether it's true or not soon. But Chu Huaiqin did his homework, so it should be true."
"I think he must have trained before the roster was released. Didn't Su Huaichen go to the gym every day before the roster was announced? He's much better than those who came without any preparation."
"Just a quick aside, my brother can cook."
"Hey, I caught a fan of Squeamish. How rare! Fans of other stars have all jumped out, but why haven't I seen you? Don't your idols usually like to hype up new dramas?"
"We didn't create this hype. Brother Qin has the ability."
Only these two fans of Chu Huaiqin appeared, and then disappeared again. No matter how many people teased him in the barrage, he didn't show up. It's really that the master is spoiled and the fans are timid. I don't know how Chu Huaiqin can become so popular. The fighting power of his fans is too poor.
At this time, Chu Huaiqin had already started. After the pan was hot, Chu Huaiqin tore open a bag of oil and poured it in. When it was 70% hot, he added some salt and stirred it evenly with the oil. He put in the fish, the small crucian carp three fingers wide that had been gutted and cleaned, and after frying both sides until golden brown, he poured out the excess oil and added water to boil.
"Wow, you're really good at this. Amazing! There's no chance that fish will become dead in my hands."
"The previous adjectives are terrible, but as before, Chu Huaiqin's hands are quite good. Judging from his skilled appearance, he must be someone who cooks frequently."
"Pfft, haha, I said before that the character setting is good, I give this fish frying a perfect score!"
The live broadcast room was full of laughter. When the soup was boiled and Chu Huaiqin added the bamboo shoots, everyone was no longer laughing, but swallowing their saliva. The milky white soup was rolling and filled with smoke. The slender bamboo shoots were dancing seductively in the soup. Everyone seemed to smell the delicious fish soup and wanted to drink it.
After the soup was ready, Chu Huaiqin started to grill the fish. The fish was not big, so it was grilled on peeled bamboo skewers. Only then did everyone realize that Group A3 had prepared so many things in the bamboo forest.
"I suddenly wonder if all this is caused by Chu Huaiqin. If they weren't in the same group with Chu Huaiqin, would they be the same as Group A2 now?"
"Pfft, Group A2 is really miserable."
Group A2 did not climb the mountain. Instead, they walked along the foot of the mountain for a day. They entered a canyon directly. There were streams and unknown bird calls, which made people feel spooked.
"How can we find food in this damn place?" Yang Ling finally couldn't help but scream. She had already eaten half of her noodles. If she continued like this, she would soon be eliminated.
Tong Tiao looked around and said, "Miss Yang, you, Brother Liang, and Zhao Le will set up the tent, while Miss Guo and Miss Chang will light the fire..."
"Why should I set up the tent? We don't have a boss here. If you want to learn from Chu Huaiqin, you have to get our consent!" Yang Ling has always been famous for her straightforwardness in the circle, but she has not participated in many variety shows. In one of them, she confronted several young actresses, all of whom were well-known traffic actors with no acting skills in the circle. She was applauded by many people, and her straightforward personality was also established. It's just that this time when she participated in the wilderness survival, people saw something different.
"Then Miss Yang, what arrangements do you want to make?" Tong Tiao's voice was deep, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.
"Guo Wan and I will light the fire, Kong Tiao and Chang Rong will go find firewood, and you can arrange the rest!" After saying that, Yang Ling sat down and leaned against a big rock to rest. After a while, she saw that no one was moving and said curiously, "Why don't you start yet? I'm starving. Chang Rong, don't be so squeamish. Hurry and find the firewood. I need to cook noodles."
"Don't pull me, please don't pull me, what a thing, the Best Actress is so great!"
"God is my witness, I will never call Chu Huaiqin a spoiled brat again. I'm so pissed off. Director, can you please switch the A1 footage back to A3? It's so annoying."
The director team was very obedient, and the screen of A1's live broadcast room was switched back to A3 group. However, at this time, screams suddenly came from A1's live broadcast room and Lin Zhinan's live broadcast room. Everyone's heart tightened, and many people switched channels instantly. The screen of A1's live broadcast room was also switched to Lin Zhinan's side at this time. In an instant, everyone gasped.
Lin Zhinan, who was squatting on the ground preparing to secure the corner of the tent, was looking ahead in horror. Not far away from her was a brown and white spotted snake about one and a half meters long. It coiled its body, with its triangular head raised high, its cold eyes facing her sister, and its bloody red tongue sticking out, making a "whooshing" sound.
It is well known that snakes with round heads are non-venomous, while the heads of venomous snakes are generally triangular. Due to their strong toxicity and the presence of many bacteria, it is basically difficult to save them if they are bitten in the wild.
By this time, my sister was so frightened she couldn't move. She stared at the snake so close, her eyes wide open, her body frozen, her hands shaking uncontrollably. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not cry, afraid to make a sound, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Bingxiang, who was in her group, was half a meter away from her, bent over, making a constant "shushing" sound, trying to shoo the snake away.
"Oh my God, oh my God, someone, what should I do?"
"What kind of snake is this? Does anyone know? Ahhh, come and beg my sister, the director team is here!"
"It's a white-bellied snake. I checked, and the venom it releases is 200 grams. It can kill people, absolutely kill people."
"Why aren't the safety facilities in place? I'm telling your director team, if anything happens to my sister, I will definitely not let you off."
"Ah, call Brother Qin, come quickly."
"Get lost! What's the point of calling a squeamish person here?"
The on-site director team was also in a state of panic. The professional hired for wilderness survival carefully reached out with a Y-shaped steel pole. Before he could touch it, the snake's long head swung, and its cold eyes stared at him. The snake, originally coiled on the ground, suddenly stretched out its body and was about to pounce on the person holding the Y-pole. At this time, someone from not far away from the camp rushed over. Seeing this scene, someone screamed, and the professional holding the Y-pole trembled, and the pole swung in front of the snake, instantly startling it. The more than one-meter-long snake hissed sharply, swung its head, and swooped towards the sister who was closest...
"ah!"
Screams erupted from both the livestream and the crowd, as everyone watched in disbelief. Their minds were blank, their hearts filled with fear and despair...
“Whoosh!”
Just when everyone was confused, a silver light flashed by, and then they saw the sister sitting on the ground with a pale face and crying out loud. But where was the snake?
Everyone's necks twisted ten degrees like robots, and they saw a white-bellied snake's head, stabbed into the ground by a dagger not far away, its body writhing. Xia Entang darted out, severed the snake's head with the dagger, and threw it away. The young monk wrapped the now-still-moving snake's head in a piece of cloth and buried it far away.
"Woo, bro!"
The younger sister burst into tears and threw herself into Chu Huaiqin's arms, her whole body trembling. It seemed she was terribly frightened. The others' eyes were red too, because they were frightened. If something happened to the younger sister here, they would not feel good either.
"The directors are idiots. How could they swing that rod so violently? Didn't they realize it would scare the snake? What's wrong with their brains?"
"Oh my God, can we get some professionals here? What the hell is going on? What if something happens? This is a human life, you know?"
"No, who is screaming? You're crazy! Screaming right next to the person holding the pole, don't you know it's disturbing others? What's in your head?"
"He was just frightened."
"Oh, it's the stove. Xia En is right. The stove is dark and dangerous. If you're timid, don't come out. Don't you know it could kill people?"
"I was so scared, so scared, I thought my sister would..."
"My sister is in trouble, and I'm not done with the production team or the kitchen staff."
The live broadcast room was filled with curses. Shao Tai's fans tried to whitewash themselves by saying that he was also scared, but the fans of the younger sister in the live broadcast room did not buy it at all. There were also fans of the only one who survived the wilderness, who kept cursing over and over again until someone suddenly said:
"By the way, who threw that dagger? It was so dark, and he was so accurate."
The topic was diverted, and everyone began to speculate:
"Yes, I saw Xia Entang and the little monk rushing out, but I couldn't see who swung the dagger."
"Master, absolutely master, with the style of Leonardo DiCaprio."
"I want to know who it is, so handsome."
As soon as someone raised this question, someone went to look for it. Unfortunately, there were too many people rushing over, and the filming crew also followed suit. The camera was shaking so much that it made people want to vomit, and it was dark, so they didn't get any footage at all.
That night, because of the sister's incident, survival in the wild once again topped the hot search list. People who were disappointed with survival in the wild and turned to follow foreign channels only then learned that the competition system had been changed. They were even more excited to see the chase segment. Suddenly, they felt a little excited. This year's survival in the wild may really be different.
