Seeing Jiang Ning approaching, Nong Chun handed over all the items to her. Since she brought down the supply pack, naturally everything inside was hers.
Jiang Ning shared some with Nong Chun, then stowed the rest into her backpack.
The two followed the wild mountain path they had come by, slowly exiting the forest to return to the spot where they had set up their tent earlier.
Just before leaving the forest, Jiang Ning also casually caught two rabbits to carry in her hand, planning to make them tonight’s dinner.
[Jiang Ning is really amazing, catching chickens with her bare hands! Climbing trees barehanded! Even catching rabbits barehanded!]
[The bunnies are so cute, wuwuwu, they must be delicious too!]
[How exactly did Jiang Ning learn all these skills? Is the class rep here? Has anyone dug up Jiang Ning’s info yet?]
[They say a crafty rabbit has three burrows, but those two rabbits seemed to be dumb as rocks, just waiting there for Jiang Ning to catch them]
[What the heck? Are you serious with your comment above? Those two rabbits were actually very agile! It’s Jiang Ning who’s super fast!]
[Hahaha, see no evil, speak no evil, I’ve suddenly realized that no matter what Jiang Ning does, there will always be trolls lurking, I’m used to it now]
[Look at Nong Chun, grinning like a fool. Keep laughing, keep laughing, but when you get back to your own tent later, you won’t be laughing anymore.]
[So sad, his stuff got stolen]
Before Nong Chun and Jiang Ning even left the forest, they noticed something else by their tent, as well as several other people’s figures.
Instinctively pleased, Nong Chun said, "Could it be that people from the production team have come?"
With that, he quickened his pace.
Nong Chun, who had been walking a half step behind to the left of Jiang Ning, soon overtook her.
Jiang Ning maintained her pace, neither hurrying nor slowing down.
Jiang Ning had good eyesight; she could already tell that the people moving around in front of the tents were Mu Mingxuan and the others. She also noticed the several other tents of different colors that had mysteriously appeared next to her own.
If the production team had come, even if they waited outside for her and Nong Chun to exit, they would not have set up extra tents. She guessed that those tents were probably Mu Mingxuan’s. As for the production team... they had not come.
Jiang Ning guessed right. It wasn’t until Nong Chun reached the outside of the forest that he realized the people he saw were indeed Mu Mingxuan, Ling Bo, and their group.
The absence of the director and other production crew members made Nong Chun feel a bit disappointed.
On the contrary, when Ling Bo, Yuan Wei, and the others saw Nong Chun, their expressions were eager.
"Why did you guys stay in the forest for so long?" Yuan Wei stared at Nong Chun and asked, "Did you find anything to eat?"
"We went in to look for water," Nong Chun replied instinctively, feeling slightly awkward because he hadn’t had much interaction with Yuan Wei and the others.
The moment Yuan Wei and his group heard the words "water source," their eyes lit up immediately, "Did you find water?"
They had been busy all morning and had finally managed to collect scattered supplies that were washed onto the beach by the seawater last night. However, everyone had already eaten all their food yesterday afternoon, and this morning they had only eaten some crab meat and conches begged from Nong Chun and Jiang Ning, so their stomachs were already growling with hunger.
The seaside was unsafe, and they didn’t dare experience being nearly swept away by the tide again, so they discussed and decided to move the remaining few tents over to Jiang Ning and Nong Chun’s side.
By the time everyone had finished their work, their hunger was so intense that one could say their chests were stuck to their backs. Huo Miao, who had not eaten anything all morning, couldn’t help but look pale and turned to Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan for help, saying she was starving to death.
Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan also hadn’t eaten anything for the entire morning. The little food they had eaten yesterday afternoon had already been digested by last night. The two men, who had grown up in luxury, were also incredibly hungry.
Jian Tiantian and Ling Bo had originally suggested that everyone collect some seafood from the seashore to cook and eat, since Ling Bo had brought a pot.
But Huo Ziheng couldn’t wait any longer. Catching seafood by the seaside took time, and cooking it took even more time. With a quick glance, Huo Ziheng set his sights on Jiang Ning’s tent.
Jiang Ning and Nong Chun had eaten well that morning; there had to be food in their tents. Without a second thought, Huo Ziheng unzipped Jiang Ning’s tent, bent down, and entered.
Although Huo Ziheng usually didn’t treat Jiang Ning as his sister, the same blood flowed in their veins, and their sibling relationship couldn’t be cut. What was wrong with a brother taking a little food from his sister?
Huo Ziheng felt completely justified.
However, Huo Ziheng didn’t expect that, although there were many things in Jiang Ning’s tent, there was not a single bite to eat. Even a mouse would have left crying.
Huo Ziheng came out of Jiang Ning’s tent looking frustrated and then, catching a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, he saw the neighboring tent of Nong Chun. Thinking since he had already entered one tent, entering two wouldn’t make a difference, he promptly stepped into Nong Chun’s tent... and thus discovered a big bag of naan bread.
When Huo Ziheng came out holding the bag of naan, everyone’s eyes were riveted on it.
Initially too embarrassed to eat, but seeing Huo Ziheng, Huo Miao, and Mu Mingxuan dig in, the others couldn’t resist and joined in.
The naan was dry and hard, and though it filled the stomach, it left the mouth parched.
The water they had brought was nearly all gone from drinking it yesterday, and whatever was left had been swept away by the sea.
One could imagine how thirsty the guests were at this point, and upon hearing Nong Chun had found a water source, all seven pairs of eyes immediately fixed on him.
Especially Huo Ziheng, Mu Mingxuan, and Ling Bo, the men directly approached Nong Chun, eyes gleaming with eager anticipation, their tones a bit urgent, "Did you bring any water back?"
"I did bring some... but not much," Nong Chun couldn’t help but step back, "We carried it back a long way."
Mu Mingxuan, with a show of wealth, said, "I’ll buy two bottles from you! Name your price!"
Huo Ziheng also boldly said, "I’ll buy two bottles as well, is one thousand yuan per bottle enough? I’ll transfer it to you once we’re back."
Ling Bo frowned with a dashing expression and followed, "I want to buy too."
"Us as well!" Yuan Wei, dragging Lin Qi over, eagerly added, "We want to buy too!"
[One thousand yuan a bottle of water... these rich young masters for sure]
[Laughing to death, they don’t see the situation they’re in]
[But that’s still making a good profit, huh? Nong Chun and Jiang Ning were inside for just a few hours, and if it’s one bottle per person, that’s three to four thousand already]
