Yuan Xingcheng looked at Yuan Meng as if she were a strange creature. "Sis, are you serious? Who was the one who cried tears of fear at the mere mention of wild beasts when we first landed on the island? And now you're telling me this snake in your hand is cute?"
If you're not afraid of this thing, then why did you cry?
Looking at Yuan Meng, whose actions, words, and appearance were completely out of sync, Yuan Xingcheng was speechless. Oh well, maybe some people just have a special preference for such things. It was almost dark, so it was better to set up the tents quickly.
With this thought in mind, Yuan Xingcheng didn't waste any more words. Since there were two tents and each of them could have one, he walked forward to look for a relatively open and flat area. In no time, he had set up his own tent.
During this time, Yuan Meng stood not far away, quietly watching, munching on a bag of chips she had found.
"I didn't expect a pampered young master like you to know how to set up a tent," Yuan Meng said as Yuan Xingcheng finished setting up his tent. "Look at me, so weak and delicate. Why don't you set up my tent for me too?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xingcheng thought this woman was being too pushy. He shot her a cold look and was about to say something when he heard Yuan Meng continue, "Of course, I won't let you work for free. I see you haven't found much. How about this? I'll share half of the food I found with you as payment for setting up my tent."
She wasn't actually unable to set up a tent, nor was she as weak as she claimed. She just thought it was a waste not to use this free labor.
As for the food as payment, it wasn't hers anyway. It was from the program crew, so she was just playing the role of a generous donor.
Rubbing his stomach, Yuan Xingcheng suddenly felt a pang of hunger. Come to think of it, he really hadn't eaten much today. If it weren't for his stubbornness against this woman, he might have already sat down to rest.
Although a gentleman shouldn't bow to others for a mere meal, setting up a tent wasn't a shameful thing. As the saying goes, one should be ready to help others.
So, Yuan Xingcheng pretended to be reluctant on the surface, looking like he was doing her a favor out of pity, while inside he was secretly happy that he wouldn't have to go hungry anymore.
On a vast open space, two tents looked a bit lonely. A pot was set up in front of the tents.
The two Yuans sat in front of the pot. A gentle breeze blew, making the flames flicker and casting an ever - changing light on their faces. The soup in the pot bubbled merrily.
Finally, the meal was ready. They had quite a lot of supplies. They made a delicious soup with mushrooms and the hare they had caught today.
Yuan Meng unceremoniously fished out some mushrooms from the pot and added a generous amount of chili to her bowl.
Seeing this, Yuan Xingcheng frowned slightly. As he was serving his own meal, he was a bit curious. It was one thing that this woman had the same name as his aunt, but how could her eating preferences be so similar? While others preferred clear soup, his aunt, that strange woman, liked to add chili to the soup. Unexpectedly, this woman also had the same preference.
This was the only hot meal they had had since breakfast. After finishing, both of them were satisfied. Without saying much, they went back to their own tents to rest.
In the middle of the night, just when they were sleeping soundly, they suddenly heard a shrill scream. Yuan Meng was so startled that she immediately opened her eyes and crawled out of the tent.
When she got out, she found that her nephew had also come out. They looked at each other. "Wh - what's going on? Why is the scream so horrible?"
Seeing her look like a frightened little rabbit, Yuan Xingcheng got annoyed. He rolled his eyes. "You're asking me? Who should I ask? Let's go and check it out!"
They walked in the direction of the scream. Not far away, they saw a person staggering towards them. As soon as the person saw them, they rushed over, crying and sobbing.
"Wolf! There are wolves! Save me! There are wolves here!"
What? Hearing this, Yuan Xingcheng didn't even bother to look at who it was. He immediately turned around to look for a suitable weapon.
Just as he found a handy branch, he turned around and saw Yuan Meng running towards the pack of wolves.
"Hey, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Was this woman scared crazy and running in the wrong direction? Anyway, it was a life, so he couldn't just ignore it.
Yuan Meng seemed not to hear. She excitedly ran up to the wolves and then directly pinned down the leading one and started stroking it.
"Come here quickly. Are you stupid? That's a wolf. It will eat..." Yuan Xingcheng chased after Yuan Meng, trying to persuade her. Then he was stunned when he saw this scene.
"What... what's going on?"
Summoning his courage, he took a few steps forward and finally saw clearly that this wasn't a pack of wolves at all.
They were Huskies, which were very similar to wolves. Because it was already dark and they could only see a pair of green eyes, combined with their similar appearance and the fact that everyone knew there were wild beasts on the uninhabited island, it was natural for them to mistake the Huskies for wolves.
The person who had just called for help also walked over at this time, looking a bit embarrassed. Oh no, she had been chased by a pack of dogs and had screamed in fear. How embarrassing!
While stroking the Huskies, Yuan Meng looked at Yang Liu and asked, "Weren't you two? Where's your partner, Mr. Chen?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a white figure appeared, scaring Yang Liu into another scream. Chen Heng pulled the white cloth down a bit, revealing his smiling face. "Hahaha, I've been eaten by the wolves. Now I'm dead."
After saying this, he lay down on the ground without any regard for his image and covered himself with the white cloth.
Oh my...
Seeing this, everyone felt a bit speechless. As expected of the host of a comedy show, he really didn't care about his image.
Yuan Meng now more or less understood. The program crew had said that there would be wild beasts on the uninhabited island, and this was true.
However, these so - called wild beasts were probably not real wild animals but were mostly arranged by the program crew on purpose.
It made sense. The people who came to this show were either rich or noble. The program crew was probably worried that something really bad might happen, so they made such arrangements.
Sure enough, even though it was an adventure variety show, in the end, it was still a variety show.
Since the program crew could use Huskies to act as wolves to scare the guests, why couldn't she take these Huskies for her own use?
Thinking this way, Yuan Meng really did it. She went back to the tent and fetched a rope, then tied up all the Huskies.
"According to the rules of the program, the supplies we find are our own. So now that I've tamed this pack of wolves, do they belong to me?" Yuan Meng blinked her big round eyes and looked at the program crew.
