Chapter 109 Cutting Bamboo

[I am studying Chinese medicine. My mother said that this is the first time she has seen me study so seriously. I am almost tearing the book apart by reading it...]

A few more spaceships floated across the screen. Everyone in the live broadcast room was used to it. There was no need to think. It must be those insomniacs going to sleep again.

In the evening, Kong Wei was still concentrating on looking for the Banfenghe. Unexpectedly, when he got the flag and went down the mountain, he actually came across one.

"Sister Ruan, isn't this the half-maple lotus you mentioned? Look, there are three shapes of leaves on this branch. This one looks like a maple leaf, this one looks like a half-opened palm, and this one is three-pronged."

Li Ruan looked at the tree that Kong Wei pointed at. It was four or five meters tall and had dense leaves. Then she nodded, "Yes, this is the Banfenghe tree."

Kong Wei's excitement was beyond words. He immediately turned on the camera function of his watch, took a photo and sent it to Director Wang.

Director Wang: Forget it, we have to leave this forest tomorrow anyway, and he doesn’t believe that she can complete those tasks so easily.

He quickly asked his staff to send a message: dinner will be served soon.

Half an hour later, four large dishes were served to Li Ruan and Kong Wei.

The four dishes are braised pork elbow, garlic lobster, steamed grouper and boiled cabbage.

The staff explained: "It is a reward meal, but we cannot waste food, so we will serve four dishes first. If the two guests are not full, we will continue to serve."

The haters are omnipresent, and the program team doesn’t want to be on the hot search list due to the haters’ influence.

I don’t mind the pears being soft, and it’s actually enough to eat since the portion is quite large after all.

Eat as much as you want.

So, the audience in Live Room No. 2 watched another eating show.

There was nothing left except shrimp shells and bones.

Kong Wei was so exhausted that he didn't even want to set up the tent. He just wanted to lie down like a salted fish until the food in his stomach was digested.

……

On the third day of the program, after leaving the mountains, the three groups’ check-in point was a place called Tianju Village.

Director Wang assigned the tasks to the three groups early on: go to the villagers' homes to complete the tasks, and if they gain the villagers' recognition, they will get a small flag.

Knowing that they would have to leave the mountain today, Liruan let the deer leave last night. They had to walk on their own today.

"How far is it from the foot of the mountain to the town?" Kong Wei had no choice but to ask Li Ruan as he couldn't understand the map.

"It would take at least five hours to walk, and it's nearly thirty kilometers."

Kong Wei's face darkened immediately. "Five hours? We still have to complete the task and get the villagers' approval. This task is getting harder and harder."

To be honest, finding Ban Fenghe sounds simple, but if it weren't for Li Ruan, they would have no idea what Ban Fenghe was. They couldn't even figure out what the riddle, which was neither a poem nor a poem, meant no matter how hard they tried.

They are even more capable today. They walked 30 kilometers and helped the villagers with their work. The director seems to want to kill them.

"You won't do it if it's too difficult? Let's go and get to work."

They got up early, and it was only a little after six o'clock. It was already light, but the sun had not yet risen. There was a bamboo forest on the mountainside, and under the bamboo forest was a river.

The river gurgles, flowing from the foot of the mountain into the distance.

"What work?"

Li Ruan: "Cut bamboo."

Kong Wei is not really a brainless kid, otherwise, how could a kid from an ordinary family like him become a third-tier star in the entertainment industry in just two years.

“You want to build a bamboo raft?”

Li Ruan had already taken out an exquisite axe from her backpack and walked towards the bamboo forest.

After walking around the forest, Li Ruan swung the axe and chopped at a bamboo. With one blow, the bamboo was cut off at the root with a click. Kong Wei, who wanted to show his manliness, opened his mouth and eyes wide, and swallowed back the words "he came to chop bamboo" two seconds later.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ruan raised the axe again and chopped down another bamboo.

Kong Wei quickly composed himself, walked over, dragging a bamboo pole in each hand and walked down to the flat ground below.

When Kong Wei came up again, Li Ruan had already cut down more than a dozen bamboos. "Why are you so fast?"

Li Ruan: "It's just cutting a bamboo, how much time does it take?" She had just trimmed all the branches.

After saying that, he picked up two bamboos and walked down the mountain.

She had ropes in her backpack, and the bamboos were quickly tied together. The bamboo raft was soon completed. Liruan also made a small chair with the extra long bamboo poles that she had cut down, and then she put away the tools with satisfaction.

Pushing the bamboo raft into the water, Liruan called out to Kong Wei, "Hurry up, put all our pots and pans on it, it's time to go."

Kong Wei asked as he carried things up: "Is this really possible?"

He was so afraid that the bamboo raft would break apart.

"How about you walk while I paddle the raft?"

Kong Wei finally stepped onto the bamboo raft. After he got on, Li Ruan jumped lightly onto the raft and threw the pole to Kong Wei, "Okay, we can go now, hurry up and paddle the boat."

She sat on a small chair, looking very comfortable.

Kong Wei was a little overwhelmed holding the bamboo pole, "How do I hold it up? I don't know how."

Li Ruan looked at him with a smile: "Hold on hard."

Kong Wei: ...I asked for no reason, but Liruan did all the hard work. He couldn't let her do something as trivial as rowing the boat, right? That would be too unmanly!
Hold on.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched this fool paddling the bamboo raft around and around in the middle of the river.

After a long time, the bamboo raft was finally able to sail normally.

Li Ruan sat on a small chair with her hands on her cheeks, looking at the surrounding scenery, "Young man, work harder, let's try to get to Tianju Village as soon as possible."

It takes 30 kilometers to walk along the mountain road, but the water route is much shorter and goes downstream. With a strong young man like Kong Wei, the speed can be much faster. The most important thing is that she is light.

The bamboo raft drifted downstream. The river was calm and the water was emerald green. It was boring to just sit there. "Kong Wei, do you think this scenery is beautiful?"

Kong Wei leaned on the bamboo pole and looked around. He also felt a sense of beauty. "Beautiful."

"Then let's sing a song. If you sing well, I'll give you a reward."

Kong Wei: "You can sing, but what should you sing?"

Li Ruan pointed at the bamboo raft they were sitting on and said, "That's easy. There's a song that fits the occasion best."

Kong Wei is not a fool, he debuted as a singer. Liruan suddenly asked him to sing, which was clearly a chance for him to perform. Moreover, in this situation, he absolutely could not sing those jumping songs of their group. But Liruan clearly pointed at bamboo raft just now, and when she mentioned these two words, he thought of that very old song, but it happened to be a song that he knew.

That’s a red song.

Kong Wei swallowed his saliva secretly, and then spoke calmly, "A small bamboo raft floats in the middle of the river, and towering green mountains are on both sides.
Eagle Spreads Wings

Even if the storm
......"

Liruan: ...I didn't expect that this boy can sing quite well. It's a pity that he has to sing pop songs.

Barrage: [I came to see the guests take risks, but ended up listening to a popular song. It sounds pretty good! ]
