TAKING PART IN A SURVIVAL GAME WITH MY BROTHER - Season 1 Episode 44

Zhou Moli hesitated for a few moments before nodding. “All right,” he said.

“Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng are seriously looking for clues, while Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu were actually resting! They’re so irresponsible!”

“Lu Yang was the one who found the bush. The others would have to do something if they wanted to get points. Are you going to let Lu Yang feed the points into their mouths? What a joke.”

“Isn’t it good for six people to have a clear division of labor? Be careful of digging your own grave when causing trouble for nothing.”

Lin Xinmeng’s head stayed in the hole for a few minutes, but she didn’t see anything useful.

When she came out, her hair was a little messy. She questioned Lu Yang angrily, “Lu Yang, didn’t you say that the answer to clue 3 was in the bushes? Why is there nothing inside? I stuck my head in for nothing!”

“I didn’t ask you to stuff your head into the bushes,” Lu Yang replied calmly.

Wen Jian said weakly, feeling guilty,” I’m sorry, I’m the one who brought the bush up.”

“Clue 3 is indeed in the bushes. Wen Jian was right,” Lu Yang added.

Qin Yitan was surprised and mused, “Is Wen Jian right? Is the answer really in the bushes?”

Qin Yitan glanced at Lin Xinmeng combing her hair and muttered in his heart, “She was probably too stupid. Her eyes were probably affected, and she couldn’t see any clues!”

Thinking of this, Qin Yitan stuck his head into the bushes with enthusiasm.

Two minutes later, he came out with a head of bird’s nest-like hair and a dark face.

“Are they here to perform drilling through the bushes? One by one, they are lining up to pop their heads into the bush.”

“Hahahahaha! This hairstyle is all-natural! Even a hairdresser would be surprised by such a perfect hairstyle!”

“Lu Yang moved. She went to look at the bushes! Let’s see what the answer for clue 3 is!”

Lu Yang squatted in front of the bush, her elbow on her knee and her other hand stuffed into the bush.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

“How is it? Did you find anything?” Qin Yitan asked eagerly.

Lu Yang stood up and slowly dusted the dirt off her hands. “The answer is 0312.”

“How did you get it?” Zhou Moli asked in confusion.

The anxious Qin Yitan had already entered the password on his watch.

Soon, the program team’s voice was heard from the loudspeaker on the aerial camera.

“For Clue 3, the answer 0312 is correct. Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu, Lin Xinmeng, Zhou Moli, Wen Jian, and Qin Yitan, five points each.”

“Sister Yang is amazing! They’ll definitely gain points if she takes action!”

“She’s so amazing. How did he know the answer?”

“Lu Yang is like a king with victory in her hands. Please take me in! I can eat, drink, and warm the bed!”

Qin Yitan was overjoyed to see his points increase on his watch. “Points are really added!”

Wen Jian was overjoyed and said in a wise tone, “I told you the answer was in the bushes!”

Lin Xinmeng was even more shocked than happy. She had also poked her head into the bushes, but why didn’t she find anything?

Lu Yang had nothing to do with the program team, so how did she know the answer?

Lu Yang raised her eyebrows. “The leaves on this part of the bush have been squeezed. This means that someone has been in there for a long time. If you touch it, you can know the number carved on the branch.”

Lin Xinmeng’s eyes widened.

So she didn’t stop them from stuffing their heads into the bushes because she wanted to see her embarrass herself?

She was too scheming!

Lu Yang wanted to tease Qin Yitan so that he would stuff his head into the bushes. He didn’t expect Lin Xinmeng to do it for Zhou Moli.

“I see.”

It suddenly dawned on Zhou Moli. He did not let the joy of solving clue 3 get to his head. Instead, he kept his mind clear and continued to ask, “What does 0312 mean? What kind of mission can we get?”

“0312 is the tree planting festival,” Lu Mingyu replied.

“I’m not sure about mission 3.”

The whimpering sound reverberated through the forest once more, causing Lin Xinmeng to shiver. She hugged her arm, which had goosebumps all over, and said, “Since clue 3 has been solved, shouldn’t we leave this place?”

The atmosphere here was comparable to that of a mortuary. It was too terrifying.

Zhou Moli lowered his head and looked at mission 3 on his watch. He saw that the bottle for mission 3 was not even half full.

After some thought, he said, “Clue 3 is here, so mission 3 must be here too. We’ve brought a tent, so we can camp here for a few days and look for mission 3.”

Lin Xinmeng could not refute Zhou Moli’s words, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

On the other hand, Wen Jian and Qin Yitan were still reveling in the joy of their points. They were even more excited at the thought of the additional points for completing mission 3 and would not object to it at all.

As for Lu Yang, she was here to look for a water source. Now that she had an idea, she couldn’t just go back.

Therefore, the six of them found a flat open space and set up their tents.

The three tents were set up very quickly.

Wen Jian saw Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu zip up their tents and asked, “Where are you guys going?”

“We’re looking for some vegetables and berries.” Lu Yang looked at Wen Jian, who was sitting cross-legged. “Do you want to come?”

“sSre!” Wen Jian immediately stood up.

Lu Yang glanced at the other three and asked again, “Do you guys want to join us?”

Qin Yitan held his dry food and said proudly, “No, I don’t lack food!”

“No, thanks.” Lin Xinmeng shook her head.

Zhou Moli looked at the bamboo basket on Lu Yang, and his eyes flickered. “No need. Do be careful.”

“Those who ship Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng, please watch closely! My husband is gentle to everyone, but not Lin Xinmeng, so don’t randomly ship them!”

“What? You’re saying Zhou Moli is only gentle to Lin Xinmeng? They’re so cute! Thank you, above commenter!”

“I’m dying of laughter. The person above is so obsessed with their ship that they’re already hallucinating.”

Playing with the leaf in her hand, Wen Jian asked curiously, “Lu Yang, how did you know the direction?”

In the forest, Lu Yang used another method. The width of the tree rings on the tree stump can tell the direction. The wider side is the south, and the narrower side is the north.

“I’ve forgotten about that after so many years,” Wen Jian replied.

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up a hundred meters away as she saw a white shrub.

She quickened her pace and walked over.

Lu Mingyu and Wen Jian followed closely behind.

“What tree is this, Yangyang?” Lu Mingyu asked.

“It’s a nlack-fleshed thorny chestnut. There is edible salt at the top of its bud.”

Wen Jian pinched the tree trunk and turned around in surprise. “This thing can be used as salt?”

“Yeah.” Lu Yang replied. “But we still have sea salt, so we don’t need it.”

Wen Jian’s eyes widened even more.

“I bet Wen Jian is utterly bewildered about them having salt. Indeed, the joys and sorrows are different for people.”

“I will help Lu Mingyu crack a lame joke: Although we have salt, you’re not falling behind either. You have rumors!”

“Who says Wen Jian doesn’t have salt? I’ll be the first to object. Wen Jian is salt herself. Her personality can be sweet or salty, so she doesn’t need salt!”

The black flesh leaf thorny chestnut usually grew in alkaline soil near water sources.

If she could see it, it meant that there was a water source nearby!
