Chapter 9
The younger sister was frightened, so the task of setting up the tent was handed over to someone else. People get cold when they're scared, so Chu Huaiqin put his coat on his younger sister and let her drink half a bowl of soup before she felt better. Then the monk who had gone to bury the snake head returned and saw his younger sister clinging to Chu Huaiqin, watching him grill fish. He also moved the resin he had collected to the side.
There are many pine trees here, and the resin is not difficult to find. The little monk made a mark during the day and went there with the remaining torch. Feng Shan climbed up with the little monk's torch and cut off the resin in pieces. He also picked up some cones and brought them back, spreading them on the ground, which looked very impressive.
The little monk saw Lin Zhinan huddled beside Chu Huaiqin, rubbing his hands secretly, and said with a slightly red face: "Can I teach you how to make a torch?"
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to look at Chu Huaiqin. Chu Huaiqin nodded, which was considered as his approval of his suggestion to divert his sister's fear.
"Hey, what do I do?" The younger sister hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the cone to play with it. When the live broadcast thanked the monk for his kindness, some people were also quite puzzled by his actions. Resin can be burned and used, but what can cones be used for?
"Is there anyone watching during the day? Did you see how it was done?"
"I was there during the day, but I didn't see anything. Please invite the class representative with wilderness survival experience."
Although the little monk woke up early during the day, the camera of A1's live broadcast room did not follow him after he left the camp. Because he was an amateur, there were not many people in his personal live broadcast room, so everyone was still confused about how he made the torch. Just when everyone was expecting the little monk to show his skills, a gurgling sound was heard, which was particularly clear, and the little monk's face turned red instantly.
Chu Huaiqin was also very hungry and said, "The fish are almost done, little monk, call them back! Let's finish our meal first and then make the torches."
"Hey, right away." As soon as the little monk finished speaking, he rushed out and blew a long whistle in the direction of the people who went out to find food. The whistle was sharp and loud, attracting unknown birds in the forest to stretch their necks and cry out one after another, like a duet.
"puff!"
The younger sister chuckled, and the others also smiled. But after a while, a long whistle sounded in the forest, and the little monk ran back to sit cross-legged next to Chu Huaiqin, his face flushed.
After a while, all the people who had set up tents and gone out to look for food came back, and someone could be heard talking in the distance.
"It smells so good," Lin Yongfu came back carrying a large bunch of bananas. The others came back empty-handed. It was so dark at night that finding bananas was a pleasant surprise. "This fish is grilled well."
Lin Yongfu marveled at the golden, three-finger-wide fish, brushed with frying oil for a more alluring hue. The aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air, making his mouth water. Three pots of fish soup were opened, milky white broth bubbling inside, its sweet, fresh aroma filling everyone's nostrils. Tired from a day's work, everyone quickly gathered around the fire, unfazed by the dirt or smoke, their eyes ablaze.
"Is it time to eat?" Lin Yongfu swallowed his saliva. Martial artists like him always had big appetites. He hadn't had much to eat in the past two days, and could only eat vegetarian noodles. Tonight's fish soup was like a royal bomb, bringing out all his hunger. "Let's cook some noodles!"
After a whole day of climbing mountains, this little fish soup is not enough to fill me up.
"Everyone's noodles are running low, right?" Chu Huaiqin glanced around at everyone, and sure enough, everyone nodded. "Let's have some soup tonight, and then go out and see if there's anything else to eat. Eat the remaining noodles tomorrow morning and save them for another meal."
"Huaiqin is right. We can still find food now. We don't know what will happen later, so it's better to leave some food." Su Huaichen licked his lips unnaturally and touched his nose with his hand as if to cover up his desire to eat, not letting his desire to eat show too obviously. He is a star and he has to pay attention to his image.
"Gurgle!"
His mind couldn't control his stomach, and Su Huaichen couldn't hide it. The people in the live broadcast room were almost laughing like crazy. No one wanted to expose his previous cover-up, but he was betrayed by his body. It was the first time I saw this elegant actor make a sound of hunger. However, looking at the milky white fish soup and the golden grilled fish, he was so greedy!
"Whatever flavor you want to try, the fish skin must be crispy when you bite it!"
"The skin is crispy on the outside, and the fish meat on the inside is tender and delicious. Ah, I'm hungry and want to eat it."
"This little bit of fish will be gone in just a few bites. There are only six fish in three pots of soup. Well, I'm going to be hungry the next day."
"Aren't there bananas?"
"Raw. Look, Chu Huaiqin opened it and it's raw. Oh, that's not right. Why did Chu Huaiqin throw the banana into the fire?"
“Bananas can be roasted and eaten raw.”
A1's livestream naturally had the most followers, and they were quite knowledgeable about wilderness survival, so they immediately explained it to those who didn't know. Chu Huaiqin and the others couldn't wait to start eating, and the bamboo bowls were essential. Each person filled a bowl, and the hot soup made them sweat, and much of the day's fatigue melted away. Then they devoured the grilled fish in two or three bites. Everyone was so hungry that they wolfed it down.
The ones who were eating the most politely were my sister and Chu Huaiqin. The former was quite normal, as a girl, it was understandable for her to eat in small bites. But Chu Huaiqin was different. He sat on a stone, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bamboo bowl in the other. He pressed his lips against the bowl and took a sip. His movements were very elegant. Everyone was about to sigh when someone noticed that most of the soup in the bowl was gone.
audience:……
Did we really use our lips to hold it together? Did we miss something?
"It should have a spoon," Chu Huaiqin sighed softly, and took another elegant sip, finishing the palm-sized bamboo bowl of soup in two mouthfuls.
"Wow, how did he drink it? I wasn't dazzled just now, he just took a sip, right?"
"Ahhh, I doubt I'm awake yet. What's going on? It looks so delicious and elegant, why is it gone in two bites?"
"I don't believe the others finished it in two gulps, because everyone opened their mouths wide to drink, but he only took small sips and still managed to finish half of it in one gulp. Is his mouth a pump?"
"Look, he's eating fish."
The audience was stimulated by Chu Huaiqin's words. Everyone turned their eyes to his mouth, holding their breath, wanting to see what kind of superpower he had.
Not knowing that he was being stared at by so many people, Chu Huaiqin elegantly picked up the front half of the fish, opened his mouth, put it in, chewed it, and swallowed it.
audience:……
"Brother, Bones."
"Dear brother, spit out the bones."
"Brother, I know you're hungry, but you can't even eat bones! Everyone else vomited, but you didn't. Are you really that hungry? Aren't you afraid that something will get stuck in your throat?"
Chu Huaiqin was unaware of the shouting in the live broadcast room. After drinking the soup, he started to eat the grilled fish. He was leisurely but fast, and it was gone in two bites.
"I see. He moves slowly, opens his mouth small, and bites deeply. He drinks soup the same way."
"Everyone knows it, but that action is also amazing. I actually feel the solemnity of an emperor attending court. Others eat food, but he eats his temperament."
"I just have one feeling: he has really good teeth."
"We just agreed to give you half," someone suddenly interrupted. Everyone turned and saw Xia En, holding a roasted snake in front of Chu Huaiqin. His sister's face changed, and she quickly got up from her seat beside Chu Huaiqin and sat down next to the little monk. Xia En took the seat as a matter of course, holding a pot of fish soup in his hand. "Try it."
The snake was placed in front of Chu Huaiqin. It was roasted to a golden luster, the meat firm and tender. It was indeed a good snake. Since someone was offering food, Chu Huaiqin didn't hesitate. He broke off a piece for himself and gave the rest to the others. Xia En frowned and glared at the excited little monk and others.
"Is this soup for me too?" Chu Huaiqin asked Xia En who hadn't left yet, as he was interested in the soup in his hand.
"No," Xia En said coldly, turning slightly away, "This soup belongs to me, don't take it from me."
Chu Huaiqin: ...
The soup, grilled fish and grilled snake were not enough to fill everyone's stomach, but fortunately there were bananas. There were dozens of bananas in a bunch, and they were almost all eaten up.
After eating and drinking, everyone started making torches. They put resin in a pot and melted it in the fire, then poured it over pine cones. They then split a branch about the size of their wrist into a 10cm deep triangular hole and stuffed the resin inside. It was simple.
But in a short while, they got more than ten of them. Xia En was liked by everyone because he gave them half a snake, so they gave him two as well, and then everyone moved to the stream.
The stream water was very cold at the end of March, but it was nothing for the strong men. They jumped into the stream and took off their clothes. The director team was frightened by the sudden actions of the group of people and quickly blurred the pictures, but because they moved too quickly, some flesh was still exposed.
There were two voices in the live broadcast room:
First: Ahhhh, the program crew gave a bad review, I want to see muscles.
Second: Get lost, you dirty eyes. I would rather watch my sister in a daze.
The younger sister would never make trouble with them. She fetched some water in a pot and boiled it to prepare to clean the tent. The little monk rolled his eyes and ran to fold banana leaves into a square container. To prevent water from leaking, he stacked three of them together and filled them with water to pass to the younger sister.
Live broadcast room: I don’t agree with this marriage.
Chu Huaiqin also coveted the stream's water. Knowing the director's mosaics had been applied, he quickly stripped himself naked and jumped in. The cool water washed over him, and he sighed in relief. Xia Entanglement gritted his teeth, quickly stripped himself naked, and ran to Chu Huaiqin's side, successfully blocking the others' view.
After Chu Huaiqin entered the water, he tried to find the young monk to rub his back, but Xia Entang blocked his view. Their eyes met in the dim light. Xia Entang turned his head away, shaking his legs and splashing water on himself, looking particularly arrogant. Chu Huaiqin withdrew his gaze, thinking the water was a little shallow, and took two steps to the deeper water. The sound of water splashing was heard, and Chu Huaiqin turned his head to see Xia Entang blocking his view again, still shaking his legs and splashing water on himself, as if he didn't care.
But no one knew that he was almost on fire from being stared at by Chu Huaiqin.
Xia En was destined to have a bad bath. When Chu Huaiqin turned left, he turned left, and when Chu Huaiqin turned right, he turned right, trying to block his view. He only came to his senses after Chu Huaiqin finished bathing and came ashore. After a while, he was the only one squatting in the stream. When he finished bathing and came ashore, he found that he had not taken his clothes, and his original clothes were soaked with sand. For a moment, grievances surged in his heart, and his eyes turned red.
That night, the internet was in an uproar. The owner of the snake-killing dagger was found: Chu Huaiqin.
The director team didn't capture it, but there was a drone! The drone footage released by the program team later clearly showed that when the snake swooped down on the sister, Chu Huaiqin, who was still outside the crowd, swung out the dagger with terrifying speed and directly pierced the snake's head.
"Well, it's early in the morning. I think I might be hallucinating. I'm going to get some sleep first."
"Good night, I'm going to bed too. I probably didn't sleep well last night and confused Little Li with Allen Chu."
No one on the Internet dared to believe it, and some even said it was a special effect from the director's team, but most people went to sleep because they all thought it was because they stayed up late and had vision problems.
