Chapter 44 Drawing the Bow at Night

After taking a few swigs, Jiang Kaiyuan turned around and saw Jiang Lingxi picking something up under a tree.

Without bothering to wash his face, he found a new leaf and folded it into a triangle. He scooped up some stream water, disinfected it and filtered it. Then he walked over and saw clearly what Jiang Lingxi was picking up.

 A small round yellow fruit, "Longan? There are also longan here? But you can't get enough just by eating this!"

Jiang Lingxi paused in picking up the fruit and looked up at Jiang Kaiyuan.

Jiang Kaiyuan felt that her look was a bit like looking at a fool.

 “Did I admit my mistake?”

Jiang Lingxi gathered the fruits she picked up, took the cup made of leaves from Jiang Kaiyuan's hand, drank some water and cleared her throat, then said: "Soapberry, also known as false longan, and it's only spring now. These are all last year’s fruits. Are there more that are moldy, black and rotten on the ground?”

She didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected surprise near the second drop-off point. This soapberry tree grew deep in the jungle and had never been picked. The ground was covered with fruits that had fallen over the years. Although Most were rotten, but some looked still usable.

 It is best used to wash hands, face and even hair.

“In addition to real longan, there are also fake longan!” Jiang Kaiyuan looked knowledgeable and defended himself in a low voice, “Longan can be eaten all year round. I thought it would also bear fruit at this time.”

As soon as these words came out, there were several barrages in the live broadcast room.

“I have always suspected that Jiang Kaiyuan might be a young master from a rich family, but now it should be confirmed.”

“God, you can eat it all year round. Longan in China doesn’t mature until July at the earliest. It’s only April now, so everything you eat at other times is fresh!”

Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but look at him more when he heard this.

 From the first meeting a few days ago, she could tell at a glance that the child's family conditions must be very good, so that he could grow up to be so wealthy and worry-free.

But now she has to add that she doesn’t know the suffering in the world.

Thinking again of the fact that this guy mistook soapberry for longan, she warned in a serious tone: "Don't eat randomly in the next week."

Jiang Kaiyuan nodded subconsciously, and then realized, "Is this fake longan still poisonous?"

 “Not too stupid.”

 “Then you still pick it up?”

“But it can wash your hands, face and hair.”

 “Can it still be used as soap?” Jiang Kaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

You must know that they have to live in this busy jungle for a week. During this week, they don't have to think about taking a shower, but if they can't clean their face and hair, it will be uncomfortable to think about it.

“Then pick up more.” He squatted down and picked up.

Jiang Lingxi pinched his shoulders and lifted him up. "What I just picked up is enough. I don't need to pick up more. The sun is going to set and we have other things to do. Also, aren't you hungry?"

Jiang Kaiyuan was reminded like this, and his stomach immediately responded, gurgling twice in a row.

  The tension and excitement about survival in the wilderness at the beginning also subsided a lot, and the pent-up hunger surged up, "A little bit. Let me go see if there are any fish in the creek?"

Jiang Lingxi wanted to say whether she had just seen it, but she was now familiar with Jiang Kaiyuan's character. This guy would definitely have to confirm with her own eyes that he would not give up and simply let him go.

Looking up at the sun that was doing its best to shed its last rays of light, Jiang Lingxi picked up some dry firewood and came back.

When Jiang Kaiyuan came back from the creek with nothing, he saw a pile of dry firewood already placed in the open space. He coughed slightly awkwardly, "It seems that there will be no fish tonight," and saw Jiang Lingxi taking the matches again. Starting to light the fire, Qiqi Aiai asked: "What can I do?"

“Pick up more firewood and bring it back. This is not enough. It’s better to pick up a few thicker and longer branches.”

Jiang Kaiyuan nodded, and when he turned around to go to work, he thought of something and turned around, "I'll look for something to eat nearby."

Jiang Lingxi paused and nodded obediently, "Go ahead."

  It took some time to raise the fire, and the sun finally shed its last rays of light and fell below the horizon, and the sky suddenly darkened.

When Jiang Kaiyuan ran back following the firelight with a pile of dry firewood picked up nearby, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the figure sitting in front of the firelight.

The orange fire light dispelled the cold silence of the night, but that figure, which was obviously not strong, gave him a more sense of security.

It was the first time in his life to sleep outdoors. Although he knew that there were cameras following him and there were thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room watching his every move, he was actually still a little scared and nervous.

 Until he saw Jiang Lingxi waiting for him to come back.

 “Sister Xixi…”

Jiang Lingxi stirred the fire in front of her and turned her head when she heard the boy's cheerful voice, "Did you find something to eat?"

 Jiang Kaiyuan's joy suddenly pressed the pause button, "No."

As soon as the sun set, the jungle became pitch black. If it weren't for the gleam of light coming from the camera behind him, he would have even been tempted to run back. Looking for something to eat has long been forgotten.

"Sit down and have a rest." Jiang Lingxi didn't expect him at first. She got up and picked out a few thick and long sticks from the dry firewood Jiang Kaiyuan had picked up. She used the vine branches that were randomly pulled nearby as ropes and struck three times. Five divided by two, a shelf was built over the fire.

 She filled her small metal pot with stream water and hung it on the shelf, and the water was boiled.

Jiang Kaiyuan looked at it for a while, and then stretched out his hand to test the firmness of the shelf, and then he felt relieved.

“Sister Xixi, it seems we can only drink water to satisfy our hunger tonight!”

Jiang Lingxi glanced at him and said, "Who said this water is for you to drink?"

 “What is that for?”

 “Boil soapberries and wash your face.”

Jiang Kaiyuan: “…”

Then, he watched helplessly as Jiang Lingxi boiled the water in the metal pot, put the washed soapberries in, boiled it for more than ten minutes and let it cool, then took the trouble to knead and squeeze out the soapberries. soap, then boiled water again, and finally washed my hands and face carefully with warm water and soap.

The steps were so complicated that not only Jiang Kaiyuan's eyes were dizzy when he saw it, but even the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't bear it.

“We are already surviving in the wild, do we still need to be so sophisticated?”

“I think Jiang Lingxi’s behavior is just hypocritical. Her eyes are so hungry that she’s starving when she doesn’t see Yuanyuan. Shouldn’t she try to find something to eat at this time?”

“Should this be called the self-cultivation of a female star? She must be meticulous and strict even in the wilderness. If nothing else, I think she is quite self-disciplined.”

“If it were me, I would probably fall asleep with dirty hands and a black face.”

 “Can’t you boil the water for drinking first?”

“I guess Jiang Lingxi really can’t stand the oil smoke on her face. If it were me, I would rather be thirsty and clean myself up first.”

While the barrages in the live broadcast room were holding different opinions, Jiang Kaiyuan finally drank the boiling water from the pot.

While drinking, he said: "Sister Xixi, please go to bed first. I'll watch over you in the first half of the night."

 There was no place to rest, so they were probably destined to sleep by the fire that night.

 At least warm.

Jiang Lingxi saw him drinking water and unable to control his head falling, "I'll keep it."

Jiang Kaiyuan patted his chest, "I am a man, how can I let you live with a girl..."

 “Believe me, it’s even harder to guard in the second half of the night.”

 Jiang Kaiyuan thought for a moment that he had to watch from midnight to dawn, which was indeed quite difficult.

“Then, shall I go to sleep first?”

 “Sleep with you.”

With just three words, Jiang Kaiyuan fell into a deep sleep leaning against the tree trunk behind him within ten minutes.

Jiang Lingxi saw that his sleeping posture was okay, so she withdrew her gaze and looked quietly at the fire in front of her, adding a piece of firewood to it from time to time.

There was no sound of talking, and in the jungle at this moment, apart from the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, there was only the sound of burning firewood.

 The night is getting quieter and quieter.

  Everyone in the live broadcast room was not bored watching this scene, and even lay down in the warm quilt and were reluctant to turn off the live broadcast.

 One barrage expressed what everyone was thinking: It felt like transitioning from a survival live broadcast room to a hypnosis live broadcast room.

However, the silence lasted for a short while, and the scene suddenly changed sharply, and the camera was in chaos. It seemed that the incident did not allow the photographers who were following the scene to react. When the camera finally stabilized, everyone saw a trace of silence. A figure walking quickly in the dark night.

Just as he subconsciously held his breath, he saw the figure suddenly stopped again, then took off the bow on his back with one hand, and took out an arrow with the other hand.

 Then, draw the bow in one second, and release without hesitation!

There was even a sound in the live broadcast room that could not be ignored.

  Until the arrow disappeared beyond the lens that could not be captured, everyone in the live broadcast room subconsciously blinked and resumed breathing.

For the first time in their lives, they forgot to blink or breathe while watching a man shoot an arrow.

I also want to know more urgently, did the arrow just hit it and what did it hit?
