Geng Qiuqiu was delighted to see everyone looking so stunned.
"Ah, Xiao Shu, you really are amazing. I bet after this show airs, quite a few foreign audiences will become interested in traditional Chinese medicine."
"That also depends on Alina’s foot getting better."
Without seeing a lively and hopping person, they probably won’t believe it.
Tang Shu felt the weight of a great pressure, having never imagined that she might one day bear the responsibility of promoting traditional Chinese medicine.
"Sister Geng, rest early tonight, need to keep your spirits up."
"I know, you should rest early too. These past four days we’ve been nearly worn to death. If we can get out of here safely, I’m definitely going to sleep for two whole days."
"Journey Together" requires a month of continuous shooting, with as many as five destinations, and the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia is only the first one, with very little time to rest in between.
Geng Qiuqiu thought that with the unexpected incident, the remaining shooting schedule would be even tighter, and she wasn’t sure if they would have any spare time to rest.
Tang Shu turned her head to glance at Alina, "Don’t worry, she has an injury. Unless they switch out the person, they are definitely going to have to stop shooting for a few days."
"Ah? Seems like that’s true."
Within the other team, three of the five were adventurers, and Alina was an actress. The show relied on her to boost its popularity, so it was unlikely that she would be replaced.
After eating their fill, except for the two standing guard outside, everyone gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Four days of travel had worn everyone out. As soon as their heads hit the ground, they fell asleep, unconcerned at the moment with the mercenaries lurking out there somewhere.
In the darkness, once the steady and even breathing of the others filled the air, Tang Shu opened her eyes, her gaze clear.
She got up without making a sound, avoiding the two people in the cave, and headed toward the nearby beach.
The tropical rainforest at night was extremely hazardous, with many poisonous things becoming active. Even with Tang Shu’s quick pace, faster than the average person, it took her about a quarter of an hour to travel from the cave to the beach.
The sky-blue sea water reflected the moonlight, waves upon waves crashing against the beach, producing natural sounds wave after wave.
The three large tents on the beach, with solar lights shining bright as day on top of them, were surrounded by several camouflaged figures patrolling back and forth, and there were also two people walking along the path, chattering away.
Tang Shu found a place to hide and listened quietly to the sounds coming from them.
"Why haven’t the guests from the Program Team arrived yet?"
"They’re just celebrities, how fast can they move? This rainforest isn’t easy to navigate."
"That’s true; they’re not used to this kind of hardship in their daily lives."
"It’s also our good fortune that while looking for an uninhabited island for vacation, we happened to come across them."
"With money to be made, you still think about vacation?"
"Naturally, I need to make money, hahahaha!"
The two were speaking in language Y, and because the wind was too strong and Tang Shu was some distance away from them, she pieced together a fact from their intermittent conversation.
They did indeed intend to extort or kidnap someone, driven solely by financial motives.
"Austin really guessed it right."
Tang Shu sighed, her eyes focusing on the two men as she began to estimate what rank their strength might be at.
After waiting for about half an hour, when one of them went into the woods to relieve himself, Tang Shu followed and sprinkled the medicine powder she was carrying toward him.
