"Wow! Then... then we won't stand on ceremony! But... um... Can I pick some? Since I'm a singer, there are many things I can't eat. Please, please!"
Xiang Bo clasped his hands together and made a pleading gesture towards Yuan Meng.
"Thank you. Then I'll not stand on ceremony."
Mo Lin also expressed his gratitude.
Xiang Bo and Mo Lin didn't hold any grudges against Yuan Meng because of what had just happened. Moreover, both of them were very happy and grateful for the chance to eat their favorite snacks!
Yuan Meng nodded and gave them a sweet smile.
"Of course you can pick whatever you like. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help me share the load!"
Yuan Meng enthusiastically promoted her snacks to the two of them, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.
"Yes, yes! This one is really delicious. It's a pity it's a bit irritating to the throat, so I can't eat it!"
After hearing Yuan Meng's promotion, Xiang Bo quickly expressed his agreement, but he couldn't eat that snack because he had to protect his throat.
"Mo Lin, here. You eat it!" Xiang Bo looked at the delicious snack reluctantly, then stuffed it into Mo Lin's backpack. He prayed that there would be no cameras around when Mo Lin ate it, so that he could have a few bites.
"Thank you all! Now it can all fit."
Yuan Meng squatted down. First, she neatly arranged the remaining snacks according to their shapes and sizes, then placed the looted supplies in the empty spaces.
Yuan Meng was very organized when packing things. Items that weren't afraid of being pressed could be placed at the bottom, while some snacks that were easily crushed were placed on top. Items with complementary shapes were placed together. In short, she made full use of every empty space in the box without wasting any room.
"Wow, Yuan Meng, you're so good at packing things! You have to teach me when you have time. I think you could make a lot of money if you went into the storage business!"
Xiang Bo thought of his messy schoolbag, then looked at Yuan Meng's neatly packed suitcase, and couldn't help sighing.
"Sure. Actually, as long as you arrange things neatly and logically, they won't get messy." Yuan Meng shyly smiled. Mo Lin also said that he wanted to join if there was a teaching session.
At this time, Yuan Xingcheng, the one who always stood up for Yuan Meng, didn't say a word. He always felt that this way of packing things was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for the moment.
Seeing that Xiang Bo and Mo Lin were eager to learn, and although Yuan Xingcheng didn't say anything, he had been watching her pack things, Yuan Meng started to explain while packing.
"Packing things is like building blocks. Look at this item. It's hard and big, so we can put it at the bottom as the 'foundation'. Then look at this bag of chips. It's easily crushed, but it doesn't take up much space, so we'll put it last and on the very top. This way, nothing will press on it, and it won't roll around in the box."
Yuan Meng explained as she put things in. The four of them chatted about storage in a casual way, enjoying themselves.
Yang Liu, who was standing beside them, was too embarrassed to say a word because of what had just happened. Her expression was very ugly, and she glared at the four of them resentfully.
Just then, the program crew, not caring about adding fuel to the fire, gave Yang Liu a close - up shot. Thus, the war in the live - stream chat was about to break out.
[These four people are so obvious about isolating our Liu Liu. They're really attracting a lot of hate!]
[Yuan Meng is really stingy. Even if there was a little conflict just now, you shouldn't not share your food with our Liu Liu. I'm speechless.]
Yang Liu's fans started scolding in the chat, saying that the other four guests were isolating Yang Liu, that Yuan Meng was a stingy person and didn't share food with Yang Liu. They were really distorting the truth.
Of course, most of the audience had clear eyes.
[Come on, Yang Liu's fans. It was your Yang Liu who said she looked down on Yuan Meng for bringing so much food just now. Now you still expect Yuan Meng to share food with her? You're dreaming!]
There were more voices supporting Yuan Meng, so Yang Liu's fans didn't dare to say much. They had to swallow their anger.
The guests couldn't see the war in the chat. They were still discussing the storage method unhurriedly.
"Yuan Meng, what should we do with this tent?" Xiang Bo originally thought Yuan Meng would put the tent in the suitcase, but by the time the suitcase was full, there was no room for the tent.
Yuan Meng gave Xiang Bo a mysterious smile, then zipped up the suitcase and stood it up.
"Guess how I'm going to place this tent!"
Yuan Meng asked Xiang Bo seriously like a teacher.
"Um... there's no room left. Could it be... placed in Brother Xingcheng's hands?"
"Do you want to put it in your hands?" Yuan Meng casually patted Xiang Bo on the head. "Watch carefully!"
Then Yuan Meng picked up the tent and used the ropes that came with it to tie it to the suitcase. In this way, the tent didn't take up any space and was easy to carry.
"That's it. Big items like this actually take up a lot of space in the suitcase, so it's better to tie them outside. Didn't you expect that?"
Yuan Meng looked at Xiang Bo proudly, and the two of them started discussing the storage method for big items.
What Yuan Meng didn't notice was that Yuan Xingcheng, who was usually very active around her, had been a bit silent since they started discussing the storage topic.
Yuan Xingcheng felt a sense of familiarity as soon as Yuan Meng started packing things. When the method of tying big items came up, Yuan Xingcheng was completely stunned on the spot.
...
"Grandnephew, it takes up so much space inside. How can I put my delicious food? Here, just tie it outside like this!"
In Yuan Xingcheng's memory, his Aunt Yuan Meng taught him how to pack things like this.
"How about it, Xingcheng? Isn't your little aunt smart! And your luggage is so messy. Let me pack it for you.
Let me tell you, this item isn't afraid of being pressed, so put it at the bottom as the foundation...
...
Yuan Xingcheng recalled that his little aunt, who also named Yuan Meng, used to teach him how to pack things like this...
The same storage method...
The same name, Yuan Meng...
Yuan Xingcheng shook his head hard. He didn't dare to believe his speculation, and he didn't dare to think further.
"Let's go after we're done packing. We've wasted a lot of time here." Yuan Xingcheng changed the topic on his own initiative. Then he picked up Yuan Meng's heaviest suitcase and motioned for everyone to move forward.
Yuan Meng looked at Yuan Xingcheng's strange state and couldn't help feeling confused.
"What's wrong, Xingcheng?"
"I..." Yuan Xingcheng didn't know how to tell Yuan Meng. What if they were really the same person... But looking at Yuan Meng's completely different appearance and personality from his aunt, he thought it was definitely impossible.
"It's okay... I just remembered something from my childhood when I saw you packing things. Let's go and find the ghost!"
Looking at Yuan Meng getting angry because he deliberately mentioned the ghost to scare her, Yuan Xingcheng was even more convinced that they weren't the same person.
It was probably just a coincidence...
Yuan Meng looked at Yuan Xingcheng's confused look and couldn't help having a headache. Her big silly grandnephew was really not very smart...
The group slowly walked towards the village. The situation in the village was even worse than they had imagined.
The dilapidated houses...
The straw bushes everywhere...
It was very difficult to find an empty space to set up a tent, and it was even more impossible to live in the village.
"I have to say, although the village is so dilapidated, the surrounding scenery is really nice!"
Following Xiang Bo's words, the group looked up. The village was surrounded by mountains, and faintly, the sounds of birds and water could be heard in the distance. Presumably, this village was a paradise before it was abandoned.
"Hehe!" Xiang Bo let out a chuckle and took out a small red flag from the side of his backpack.
"Today, I'm your tour guide! In this beautiful place with mountains and clear waters, let your tour guide lead you to climb the mountains, visit the famous village, and catch the ghost!"
Originally, the group was in a bad mood because of the poor environment. Xiang Bo's antics made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became lively again.
"Come on, everyone, follow the tour guide. Look at that house in front. It's especially dilapidated. It's the famous Liu Family Haunted House!
This haunted house has a history of a hundred years. It's said that a new bride died inside. After the new bride turned into a ghost, she often says to people: Stay with me here~"
When Xiang Bo said this, he deliberately lowered his voice and imitated a ghost's voice. He was clearly provoking the ghost, which made everyone in the group and the audience in the live - stream burst into laughter.
[Brother Xiang Bo is so funny. I'm looking forward to him really being caught by the ghost!]
[I bet he doesn't know the ghost can catch people. Good luck to him.]
Apart from the laughter in the chat, the audience was extremely eager to see what would happen to Xiang Bo after being caught by the ghost. They thought it would be really interesting.
