[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 199: Extreme Speed
In the rare peace of mind of the players, the plane finally landed in India.
"Let's go!" When the plane came to a complete stop, the contestants stood by the door impatiently. No matter how helplessly the flight attendant looked at them, everyone bit the bullet and didn't back away—there was a reversal in this game, even if they Already allied, but all want to take the initiative for themselves rather than relying on the conscience of others.If you can be the first to pass the turning point, then only you can turn around others, and others have no chance to turn around yourself!This is the ultimate goal of everyone!
After getting off the plane, the players rushed out one after another.
Yili and Xie Cheng approached the airport staff to ask for directions, then went straight to the service port of the airport bank, and exchanged the US dollars provided by the program team for some Indian rupees—judging from the last clue card, the program team did not give them Providing self-driving vehicles, that is to say, this time they have to travel by taxi again, which is really a test of character.
But this is also something that can’t be helped. The program group is not omnipotent, and there are many factors that affect whether the contestants are allowed to drive by themselves.For example, whether the car sponsor of the program group has the ability to provide vehicles for the contestants in this country, and whether the program group can obtain a local driver's license for the contestants-the American driver's license is not universal in the world, and can only be used in some countries However, in more countries, the program group and the local traffic bureau must complete consultations to obtain the right to drive.
Soon, the two took the exchanged rupees from the bank staff at the window, and then walked out from the crowd waiting in line, and then met the Dunphys and his wife in the back, who also thought of exchanging local currency , but ran a little slower than Yili and Xie Cheng, so they fell behind.The two sides nodded to each other, said goodbye to each other without saying much.At this moment, the most important thing is to do tasks to catch up with the progress, no one has time to greet.
As soon as Yili and Xie Cheng ran out of the airport, waves of taxi drivers greeted them—they all knew that these western tourists spent a lot of money, and they were completely unaware of prices in India. In short, they were the best Fat sheep!
"Where are you going? There is no one in Calcutta that we don't know!" The drivers hurriedly pulled the two, desperately trying to push away the competitors and pull the two guests into their cars.
"We want to go to Paro Pier, does anyone know there?" Xie Cheng asked Yili with one arm, protecting his lover in his arms so as not to be squeezed by the rushing drivers.
"I know!" A driver who broke through the encirclement and rushed to Xie Cheng shouted to them.
"Everyone knows!" The others laughed loudly without giving him face.
"Then how much does it cost from here to Paro Pier?" Xie Cheng didn't believe him easily, but continued to ask.
"Hmm..." The driver who managed to show his head looked at the other people who were staring at him, and gritted his teeth, "800 rupees!"
"..." Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, 800 rupees?The starting price of a taxi in India is more than 20 rupees, and it is about 20 rupees per kilometer. 800 rupees is a 40-kilometer journey. Is it so far from Paro Pier?Xie Cheng didn’t believe it at all. He and Yili had done their homework. India is an Asian country that Zodiac often visits. They are not ignorant of prices in India. “It’s too expensive, are you kidding me?” ?"
"Then, that 600 rupees, it can't be less!" Seeing that the customer was not easy to fool at all, the driver was overwhelmed and reluctantly lowered the price a little - of course, even at this price, he can make a lot of money .
"..." This price reduction is completely insincere, Xie Cheng shook his head again, "We want to use the meter, is there anyone willing to take us?" Xie Cheng wanted to use the meter from the beginning, just wanted to test the driver, It's fine if it's not too outrageous, they are in a hurry now, and time is more important than money, but that doesn't mean money doesn't matter.The budget given by the program group was limited, and it was impossible for them to spend a lot of money, so after discovering the other party's black heart, Xie Cheng naturally wanted to change the driver.
"There is no watch here." Relying on the fact that Xie Cheng and the others are foreigners and don't understand the local market, the drivers replied tacitly.
"But 600 rupees is too expensive." Xie Cheng knew that he couldn't handle these group of local drivers, but he didn't want to be slaughtered just like that. It's just that they still have tasks to do, and it's impossible to really waste time bargaining with each other. "400 rupees, do you want to go? Is anyone willing to go?" If there is no one, they can only accept the price of 600 rupees.
"...Okay, 400 rupees is 400 rupees." The driver hesitated for a moment, and quickly agreed with a grin - 400 rupees is already a good price.Although they don't make a lot of money, these two are decent white-skinned Westerners, and it's a great face to be able to attract such guests-for a backward city like Calcutta, Westerners are rare. No better than Delhi and Mumbai, which almost stagnated decades ago.
"Okay, let's go." After finally deciding on the price, Xie Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and together with Yi Li, they got into the shabby taxi they had ever seen—but in a strange city, there was nothing wrong with it. It's very picky, especially where you can see, other taxis are like this, not to mention bright and beautiful, not even clean and refreshing.
The only good thing is that since there were four of them, the taxi was already full, so the driver didn't try to solicit any more passengers, but started the car directly——Xie Cheng and the others didn't know how lucky they were, otherwise, God knows they would still be there. How long do you have to wait before you can wait for another guest on the same road.In this regard, black drivers all over the world are the same, and it is not enough until the taxi is filled with people.
The driver the two met was quite reliable. Of course, perhaps Paro Pier was relatively famous, so the driver took them to the pier smoothly without getting lost or stopping to ask for directions.
"Here we are." The driver stopped the car and said to the two of them.
"Okay, thank you." Xie Cheng took 500 rupees from Yili in the back seat and handed it to the driver.
The driver took the money and nodded to Xie Cheng, indicating that they can get out of the car.
"Don't you want change?" Xie Cheng frowned again - the city of Calcutta is really a test.Of course, there are large villages in the United States, but they are completely different from Calcutta. The former feels simple and peaceful, while the latter feels dirty and chaotic. Big cities like Delhi and Mumbai are almost two worlds.
"No change." The driver pretended to be stupid, "We agreed on 500 rupees."
"...Didn't we agree on 400 rupees?" Xie Cheng's brows could catch flies.
"500 rupees." The driver's dark face was full of persistence.
"..." Xie Cheng took a deep breath, and then suppressed his anger.
"Forget it, let's get out of the car." Yili also spoke out, and they could afford to lose 100 rupees. Although it made people feel very depressed because of this reason, they arrived at Paro Pier smoothly, without any accidents.In a foreign country, it is impossible to be cheated by the locals, especially for the driver, who is not cheated by fat sheep from other places?
"Okay." Since Yi Li said so, Xie Cheng could only hold his breath, turned around and got off the car with his lover.
He didn't feel better until Yi Li shook his hand and silently comforted him.
Yi Li and Xie Cheng were not the only ones who were cheated.
In other words, compared to other teams, Yili and Xie Cheng are rare enough not to suffer too much.
If the other teams knew how Yili and Xie Cheng were treated, they would feel that the other party had met a kind driver, and at the same time cursed the bad-hearted black driver they had met!
For example, the blond beauties who went straight to the pier as soon as they got off the plane, under the pressure of turning around, completely forgot to exchange the local currency. .
"What?! $30?" When she arrived at the pier, Jenna thought she had heard it wrong.
"Yes, $30, if you don't have rupees." The swarthy taxi driver said happily - these drivers also prefer dollars to rupees, after all, the latter is more expensive and more valuable.
"No, it's too much!" Jenna shook her head, "I don't think it costs so much for the journey we've come here!" Even though Jenna didn't know the exchange rate between Indian rupees and US dollars, she instinctively noticed the driver Black heart - in fact, 1 dollar can be exchanged for 60 rupees, that is, 30 dollars is equivalent to 1800 rupees!Jenna was right, this is definitely the driver's big mouth!
"No, that's all, unless you come in rupees!" The driver was very happy that the two blonde beauties asked who knew Paro Jetty as soon as they got out of the airport, and after he answered, they immediately got into his car without even paying the price ask!They like passengers like this the most, especially the two blonde beauties who are so iconic! ——Of course, beauties don't affect them, that's all.
"You..." Jenna gritted her teeth. If she wasn't in a hurry, she really wanted to go to the local police station and ask the police to do justice (but I don't know if the police will help them). This driver must have killed them!She can guarantee it!
"This is really too much, can't it be less? To be honest, we don't have that much money." Elena pressed Jenna lightly, and let her come forward to bargain with the driver—if possible, she certainly didn't want to waste it Time is on this kind of thing, and they still have to catch up with the task, but this driver is too much!The program group gave them a very limited budget, and now they have a total of more than 150 dollars on them. The driver asked for 30 dollars at once, not to mention Jenna, even she couldn't bear it.
"Then..." Looking at Elena, who has a pretty face and a gentle tone, the driver couldn't help being distracted, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Then, $25 can't be less. It's already for your sake Already!"
"This..." Elena didn't think it was a sincere price. She shook her head and said in embarrassment, "Is $15 okay? This is already the highest price we can afford. If we had known that taking a taxi was so expensive, We'd rather be a bus."
The second half of the sentence is a lie, the bus is so slow, unless you are not in a hurry, or the program group specifies to take the bus, otherwise, no one will be stupid enough to use this kind of transportation. The driver haggles.
"No, no, $15 is too little!" Drivers are not confused when they see beautiful women, they are one of the smartest people in the world, and they can tell which customers have money and which customers have no money just by looking at them , so I also know that these two beauties are indeed in short supply. Looking at the tall cameraman and sound engineer carrying the video camera and tape recorder, the driver didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only talk to the beauties honestly, "20 Dollars, you have to give me at least $20!"
"...Okay." Elena and Jenna looked at each other, both of them knew that they could only go so far.
Handing over $20 to the driver with his own hands, and seeing the satisfied expression flashing across the other's dark and shrewd face, the two of them felt that their hearts were bleeding!This driver must have slaughtered them hard!
But the matter has come to this point, and the two have no way out, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
"Let's go, at least we have to be the first to complete the task!" Jenna stared at the taxi that turned and left, and said fiercely.
"Yeah!" Elena also fully agreed, even if they were tricked, they would be worth it!
The two asked passers-by, ran quickly to the sign of the pier, and saw the red and yellow clue box.
"We are the first!" Jenna said in surprise, looking at the full clue box.
"Yes!" Elena also had a smile on her face, "Quickly read the clue card." She rarely urged her friend.
"Hmm!" Jenna quickly took out a clue card, opened the envelope, and read skillfully, "Detour: Which traditional fuel to choose, to make fuel cakes, or to carry fuel straw?" Jenna and Elena glanced at each other , the former is manual work, and you may need to master some production skills, while the latter is physical work, and you will definitely be very tired. There is really no advantage.
"Let's make fuel cakes." Elena said.
"Okay." Jenna had no objection either. She flipped the clue card to the back and continued to read the mission details, "The contestants crossed the river by boat and arrived at Push Village. They found the village head's house and made [-] fuel cakes with cow dung. After drying, use the fuel cake to boil a pot of milk and distribute it to the children in the village, then you can pass this mission and get a new clue card from the village.”
"..." Elena frowned tightly when she heard the word cow dung—she grew up in the city, not those girls who were born in the west, and she was used to seeing cows and sheep. Never touched a live cow, let alone cow dung!At the thought of using cow dung to make that fuel cake, Elena felt that the world was gloomy.
"Niu ... cow ..." Jenna's face was not good -looking. She grew up with Aina, and the two people's life background was the same. What did they get in touch with the cattle was more uncomfortable than killing them!
"Let's go." Elena sighed helplessly, the task she chose had to be done on her knees.Even if the rules of the game allow changing tasks, they have to try it first before they can change.Moreover, they didn't have much confidence in the other task—carrying thirty bundles of wheat straw, which was by no means an easy task, and perhaps the former task was more suitable for them.
"Hmm." Jenna hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded. She didn't allow herself to be eliminated here!
The two quickly bought tickets and sailed to the opposite bank by boat.
They left on the front foot, and the black guy on the back foot also arrived-they also forgot to change the money, and were cheated by the driver, but maybe because they were tall and strong enough, the driver didn't dare to cheat them too much. After a high price, they bargained and asked them to pay. The $15 also made the brothers feel distressed.
"Let's carry the straw." Bruno decided after Ario finished his choice.
"Okay." Ario also agreed with this decision. Among all the teams, is there anyone more suitable for this task than them? Help the villagers of Yeti Village move [-] bundles of straw to the boat, and take the boat to Hapu Village to get a new clue card from the village head of Hapu Village.”
"This task is good." Bruno nodded in satisfaction. It didn't sound like it had any technical content. He liked this kind of task the most!
"Yes, let's go!" Ario also smiled. After so many stages, he finally has a task that is good at them!This time, they must be the first to complete this mission!
After them, Yi Li and Xie Cheng also came to the pier.
"Let's carry the straw." Yili and Xie Cheng hesitated, but chose the latter, especially after reading the mission details.
The two quickly got on the boat bound for the opposite bank. After arriving, they asked for directions on the bank and ran quickly to Yeti Village.
"Chester, Lilian, you are here too." Before the two of them reached Yeti Village, they saw Ario and Bruno on the side of the road carrying a large bundle of straw, and the other party greeted them with a smile , but did not stop.
"Yes." Xie Cheng smiled at them, and did not stop to greet them. The two sides just nodded and greeted each other, and then the one who moved the straw and the one who went to the village went to the village.At this time, they all knew that the task was the most important.
"Hello, we are here to help transport straw." The two soon came to the village. It is also very rare to become a mission location. Almost the whole village came out to watch, especially the children, who have been poking around not far from them.
"You have to help Amir's family move thirty bundles of straw." The village chief of Yeti village said to them.
"Okay, we got it." The two nodded, and quickly went to Amir's house, explaining the purpose of their visit. The program team also communicated with the other party in advance, and the other party pointed to the haystack outside the door, indicating that this is the two people Straw to be moved.
Yili and Xie Cheng put their backpacks aside, and tentatively carried the bundled straw onto their shoulders.
The wheat straws here are as thick as one person's arms. Yili's strength is much stronger than when she was in the beginning, but she still can't carry the straws on her shoulders.Fortunately, Xie Cheng gave her a helping hand and helped her put the straw on top. Then Yili picked up the straw and walked towards the shore with Xie Cheng.
The straw is really heavy. Even Yili, who has adjusted her strength attributes in the main city, finds it difficult, let alone ordinary women. It can be said that among all female players, except for the female soldier group, women from other teams are likely to leave. You have to stop after a few steps. Even, if you are a woman with low natural strength, you may not even be able to carry it or move a step.
"How is it? Is it okay?" After walking a few steps, Xie Cheng looked at Yili with some concern.
"I'm fine." Yi Li exhaled, nodded to Xie Cheng, indicating that she was fine.
"If you're tired, don't force it." Xie Cheng said to Yi Li seriously, "You move less, and leave the rest to me."
"Okay." Yili smiled at Xie Cheng, "You have to work harder this time." It is an indisputable fact that her strength is not as strong as Xie Cheng's, and in this regard, Xie Cheng can only be more tolerant up.But this does not mean that Yi Li will rest on the side, on the contrary, she will still do her best to work instead of leaving everything to Xie Cheng.That was too much and too selfish.
"Of course, just don't force yourself." Xie Cheng wished that he would work harder, but he also knew that the other party was not the kind of person who would just sit back and enjoy what she got, and instead would spare no effort to do what she could do.Don't look at the pleasant words now, such as "you have to work harder", but these are all words to coax him.In the end, I am optimistic, Yili will definitely do it from beginning to end.Thinking of this, Xie Cheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless despite being sweet.
The two carried the straw one after the other, and walked towards the boat parked on the shore without stopping.
Xie Cheng was stronger and walked faster. When Yi Li was about to reach the shore, Xie Cheng had already moved his bundle of straw to the boat and turned around to meet Yi Li.
"It's okay, I can still move it." Yi Li shook her head at Xie Cheng, "I'll tell you when I can't move it."
"..." Then he won't hear Yili say that she can't move anymore after 100 years, which is another nice sentence.Xie Cheng shook his head, raised his hand directly to take the straw from Yili's shoulder, and carried it to his shoulder, "It's okay, it's just the last few steps. Besides, it's not easy for you to let go on the boat, I'm just helping That's all."
It was difficult for Yili to even lift it up, and it was quite remarkable to be able to walk here only a little slower than him.When I put it down later, it will be the same as carrying it up. It is more difficult than carrying it away. Yili may not be able to put it down properly, and it will be troublesome if her arm is strained when she is put down.
"Wait here for a while." Xie Cheng said to Yi Li, "I'll be fine in a while, it's not a few steps anyway."
"Yeah." Xie Cheng's words had reached this point, and Yi Li didn't insist on anything anymore.What's more, when Xie Cheng took the heavy bundle of straw off her shoulders, Yi Li really relaxed and felt a sense of liberation.
Yili stood where she was, watching Xie Cheng briskly put the straw on the bow, then turned and walked towards her.
"Let's go."
"Ah."
The two quickly returned to Amir's house, Yili carried another bundle of straw with the help of Xie Cheng, and the two walked to the side of the boat again.
Time and time again, each bale of straw is about the same thickness, yet feels heavier and heavier.
"How is it?" Xie Cheng was only breathing a little bit short of breath, but Yili's forehead and the tip of her nose had already seeped layers of fine sweat, and beads of sweat would leave her forehead and neck from time to time, and the vest on her body was also faintly covered. See wet.
"It's okay." Yili took a deep breath, and then smiled at Xie Cheng, "I'm fine, let's go. If I can't move anymore, I'll call you to help me move."
"...Really?" Xie Cheng was very skeptical, Yili's credit in this area has always been negative.
"Really!" Yili said firmly, "I won't lie to you."
"..." He said it as if he could do something to her if he lied to him.But seeing Yi Li's sincere face, Xie Cheng decided to trust her one last time, if it was really too reluctant, he would just take measures directly.
This time, Xie Cheng's pace was still the same as before. This level of physical work is nothing to a man who has trained himself, but behind him, Yili's pace was much slower than before. Every step of the movement is extremely difficult.
Xie Cheng turned his head back to check on Yili's situation from time to time, seeing that the other party was still gritting his teeth and persisting without saying a word, his brows gradually frowned, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but quickly fell silent.Doesn't he know the character of the other party?Instead of making useless persuasion here, it is better to take action directly.Thinking of this, Xie Cheng quickened his pace again, moved the straw on his shoulders to the boat as soon as possible, and returned to Yili's side as before, to take care of the lover who was a little powerless...
After helping Yili transport the straw to the boat, the two returned to Amir's yard again.
Of the 30 bundles of straw, only less than half of them have been transported, and there is still a high pile left.
In front of the house next door, the black guys had almost finished moving the straw, and the two brothers had an absolute advantage in this matter.
Seeing Xie Cheng looking at them, the black brother who happened to be back in front of the house grinned at him, and Xie Cheng also smiled at them.
"Chester?" Seeing that Xie Cheng hadn't moved, Yili couldn't help reminding her.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng turned his head, smiled at Yili, turned around and picked up a bundle of straw, and carried it directly on his shoulder.
"Chester!" Yi Li quickly stopped him, she couldn't carry a bundle of straw by herself, Xie Cheng had to help her.
"Hey." Xie Cheng sighed, "Who said it just now, did you say it yourself when it was too bad?"
"..." Yili coughed a little guiltyly, and then summoned up the courage to say, "I said it, but I'm fine now. If I can't do it, I will say it myself. Really!" For To enhance persuasiveness, she specially emphasized it at the end.
"Is it okay for you to call me that?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, put down the heavy load on his shoulders, walked up to Yili in two steps, patted Yili's arm, and immediately felt that the other's arm was trembling slightly That's a sign of excessive force. He saw something wrong with Yili's arm just now. If he wants to confirm more, the other party's legs should also be unstable...
"Hiss..." Yi Li was also startled by Xie Cheng's action, her arms felt slightly sore, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Huh?" Xie Cheng looked at Yi Li leisurely, his eyes filled with what else you have to say.
"But..." Yili knew that it would be useless to worry about whether she was tired or not—Xie Cheng had already confirmed this point, but, "We still have so many unmoved, I can't let you do this by yourself."
You know, Xie Cheng is still wounded, and the piece of gauze on his forehead is impossible to ignore—the wound has already stopped bleeding, and the gauze has been removed, but before they start this mission, stay at the mission site The doctor next to him stuck it up for Xie Cheng to prevent the straw from poking into the wound and causing the wound to burst.Therefore, even Xie Cheng was doing missions with injuries, and Yili felt that she had no reason to watch.
"Who told you to rest?" Xie Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth, "At most, I will let you rest for a while, about the time I moved twice, and then you can work together, I think it will be more efficient." Eli is more acceptable.
To be honest, if Yili is really the kind of delicate girl who can't carry it on her shoulders or hands, maybe Xie Cheng will be more relieved, at least, then he won't have to do everything possible to let her clingy partner rest.However, if that's the case, this is not his beloved girl anymore. He really likes her for being strong, independent, and never giving up... Although it will occasionally give him a headache, such as now, but he will appreciate it even more This characteristic of the opponent.
"...Okay." Yi Li paused, and finally agreed - as long as she wanted, she had ten thousand ways to continue working.For example, you can hold down the straw with your hands, and you don't move it yourself, and you are not allowed to move Xie Cheng. In this case, Xie Cheng can only compromise for the sake of the competition.But this would be too capricious.She understands Xie Cheng's kindness and is willing to cherish it.
More importantly, she knew that she was indeed reaching her limit. If she continued to move this time, she might not be able to move halfway.In this case, it is indeed more effective to take a short break and work hard.
"Don't force yourself too much." Yi Li couldn't help Xie Cheng said, "If you're tired, it's okay to take a little rest."
"Do I look like I'm reluctant?" Xie Cheng hooked his mouth, knowing that he had persuaded Yili, then he picked up the straw on the ground and said to Yili relaxedly, "Lean in the shade a little, I will soon Just come back."
"En." Yili nodded to Xie Cheng, and after watching Xie Cheng walk away slowly, she leaned her back against the wall and let out a long breath.
During Yili's rest period, the other two teams also came here.
However, after trying to carry it once, Brianna, her father, and the Dunphys quickly gave up this high-intensity physical task, and would rather waste the time of going back and forth than continuing to toss on this task , re-boat to other villages for another, slightly less tiring job.After all, Xie Cheng is young and strong, and can take on a little more in this task, but Brianna's father is not young anymore, and the Deng Fei couple have passed their prime.
"I've rested." When Xie Cheng came back again, Yi Li quickly stood up and said to him.
"Yeah, I know." Xie Cheng nodded amusedly.
"Really take a rest." Yi Li always felt that her credit in Xie Cheng was about to go bankrupt, so she immediately reiterated.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng smiled, "Come on, girl, it's time to start working."
"Okay." Yi Li's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded.
After a short rest, Yili's physical strength has indeed recovered almost.
With Xie Cheng's help, she quickly carried the straw with him.
The two were busy, and the bundles of straw were quickly transported to the ship.
When the move was almost finished, Yi Li's arms were sore and her legs were weak, and Xie Cheng was also sweating profusely.
"Phew, that's enough." The two of them checked for the last time and found that there were indeed thirty bundles of straw. Then they put on their backpacks and set off with the boatman, slowly rowing towards the village on the other side of the river.
Calcutta is located on the delta of the Ganges, and Ili and Shecheng are now on this holy river in India.
But unlike most people's imagination, this river, known as the birthplace of Indian culture, is not clear but dirty.Only in the upper reaches of the river can there be a slightly cleaner place, and on the Calcutta side, it is a little dirty.
At least, when the two of them looked down, they could only see a piece of gray river water, and there were all kinds of waste floating in the river water, which made people frown.
The delivery ship arranged by the program group is not a modern ship, but a slightly ancient boat.
Yili, Xie Cheng, and the boatman are all on this side of the boat, and the boat to the other side is full of the fruits of their labor, that is, the bundles of straw.
The boatman's movements are very skilled, but also very slow. Yili and Xie Cheng urged him, but the boatman remained the same. The two could only wait patiently for the boat to dock, so that they could get this new clue card. .
bang...
I don't know what hit the bottom of the boat, and the hull suddenly shook violently.
Under the worried eyes of the two, a bundle of straw on the side of the hull just fell into the river from the crumbling side!
"[Beep]!" This is the first time Yili has seen Xie Cheng lose her composure, and Yili herself is about to collapse—the boat has rowed out for so long, then rowed back, carried the straw, and set off again, it took time. It was terrible!
Yili could imagine the other teams catching up!
Just when Yili was not feeling well, Xie Cheng suddenly stood up, "Chez..."
Before Yili finished speaking, Xie Cheng jumped into the water and grabbed the straw that was sinking. The straw was originally very light and should be able to float by itself, but these straws were tightly tied together. The weight is too heavy, and its own buoyancy is too limited.Just like a piece of white paper can easily float on water, but a stack of unopened A4 papers can't float. This is the same reason. Gravity far exceeds buoyancy, and things will naturally sink.However, this insufficient buoyancy did make the bundle of straw lighter than the ground, otherwise, Xie Cheng might not be able to catch it!
"Chester!" Yi Li threw herself to the side of the boat, watching Xie Cheng sink and sink in the unclean water.
"I'm here." Xie Cheng quickly surfaced, took the heavy bundle of straw and swam to the side of the boat with difficulty, and said to Yi Li, "Lilian, take it, I'll lift it up."
"Yeah!" Yili immediately nodded in response.
With one person struggling in the water and the other pulling hard on the boat, the wet bundle of straw was finally dragged onto the boat and piled up with its other brothers and sisters again. Xie Cheng also crawled drenched on board.
Yili quickly took out dry clothes from their backpacks, "Put on first!"
If you get a cold from it, that's too bad.What worries Yili the most is that there is still a stitched wound on Xie Cheng's forehead. If it gets infected by touching the unclean river water, it will be even more troublesome.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng took the clean clothes handed over by Yi Li, and the cameraman also moved the camera in coordination. Xie Cheng then hurriedly changed into dry clothes, but he still looked a bit embarrassed.
"On the forehead..." Yili couldn't hide her worry, "Let the doctor sterilize it later."
"Okay." Xie Cheng didn't object either, they didn't want their wounds to be infected and sent to the hospital because of their negligence.
"Hmm..." Seeing that Xie Cheng had changed his clothes, Yili paused, and then you whispered, "Why are you just..." and jumped off?Yili never expected that Xie Cheng would do this.Although she also thought that besides going back to the village, there may be other remedies, such as seeing if there are any tools on the boat to hook the straw back, and even Xie Cheng's approach did not flash through her mind , but she just habitually ignored this idea—after all, this river is so...
"I can't let us lose here." Xie Cheng smiled, reaching out his hand to pat Yili on the shoulder, but thinking of the peculiar smell all over his body, he quickly gave up this idea, but the keen Yili immediately held her hand , Xie Cheng was taken aback, his eyes softened instantly.
"However, can the wet straw pass the competition..." Xie Cheng quickly thought of something more important.
"It should be possible." Yili thought for a while and replied, "The clue card only said it was straw, not dry straw. Besides, we didn't damage it on purpose, and this kind of accident is beyond our control. The program group should I won’t get stuck on this.”
Yili remembered that in the past competition, there was a task to classify all kinds of potatoes, but the outside of the potatoes was covered with mud, and it took a very careful identification to distinguish different potatoes. It is also easy to make mistakes and have to start all over again.As a result, a team of players couldn't bear to make mistakes again and again, so they decided to find another way, spit on the potatoes directly, and forcibly rubbed off the dirt on the outside of the potatoes with their saliva... This method is indeed difficult to describe, but it is indeed not against the rules.
"Let's go!" When the plane came to a complete stop, the contestants stood by the door impatiently. No matter how helplessly the flight attendant looked at them, everyone bit the bullet and didn't back away—there was a reversal in this game, even if they Already allied, but all want to take the initiative for themselves rather than relying on the conscience of others.If you can be the first to pass the turning point, then only you can turn around others, and others have no chance to turn around yourself!This is the ultimate goal of everyone!
After getting off the plane, the players rushed out one after another.
Yili and Xie Cheng approached the airport staff to ask for directions, then went straight to the service port of the airport bank, and exchanged the US dollars provided by the program team for some Indian rupees—judging from the last clue card, the program team did not give them Providing self-driving vehicles, that is to say, this time they have to travel by taxi again, which is really a test of character.
But this is also something that can’t be helped. The program group is not omnipotent, and there are many factors that affect whether the contestants are allowed to drive by themselves.For example, whether the car sponsor of the program group has the ability to provide vehicles for the contestants in this country, and whether the program group can obtain a local driver's license for the contestants-the American driver's license is not universal in the world, and can only be used in some countries However, in more countries, the program group and the local traffic bureau must complete consultations to obtain the right to drive.
Soon, the two took the exchanged rupees from the bank staff at the window, and then walked out from the crowd waiting in line, and then met the Dunphys and his wife in the back, who also thought of exchanging local currency , but ran a little slower than Yili and Xie Cheng, so they fell behind.The two sides nodded to each other, said goodbye to each other without saying much.At this moment, the most important thing is to do tasks to catch up with the progress, no one has time to greet.
As soon as Yili and Xie Cheng ran out of the airport, waves of taxi drivers greeted them—they all knew that these western tourists spent a lot of money, and they were completely unaware of prices in India. In short, they were the best Fat sheep!
"Where are you going? There is no one in Calcutta that we don't know!" The drivers hurriedly pulled the two, desperately trying to push away the competitors and pull the two guests into their cars.
"We want to go to Paro Pier, does anyone know there?" Xie Cheng asked Yili with one arm, protecting his lover in his arms so as not to be squeezed by the rushing drivers.
"I know!" A driver who broke through the encirclement and rushed to Xie Cheng shouted to them.
"Everyone knows!" The others laughed loudly without giving him face.
"Then how much does it cost from here to Paro Pier?" Xie Cheng didn't believe him easily, but continued to ask.
"Hmm..." The driver who managed to show his head looked at the other people who were staring at him, and gritted his teeth, "800 rupees!"
"..." Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, 800 rupees?The starting price of a taxi in India is more than 20 rupees, and it is about 20 rupees per kilometer. 800 rupees is a 40-kilometer journey. Is it so far from Paro Pier?Xie Cheng didn’t believe it at all. He and Yili had done their homework. India is an Asian country that Zodiac often visits. They are not ignorant of prices in India. “It’s too expensive, are you kidding me?” ?"
"Then, that 600 rupees, it can't be less!" Seeing that the customer was not easy to fool at all, the driver was overwhelmed and reluctantly lowered the price a little - of course, even at this price, he can make a lot of money .
"..." This price reduction is completely insincere, Xie Cheng shook his head again, "We want to use the meter, is there anyone willing to take us?" Xie Cheng wanted to use the meter from the beginning, just wanted to test the driver, It's fine if it's not too outrageous, they are in a hurry now, and time is more important than money, but that doesn't mean money doesn't matter.The budget given by the program group was limited, and it was impossible for them to spend a lot of money, so after discovering the other party's black heart, Xie Cheng naturally wanted to change the driver.
"There is no watch here." Relying on the fact that Xie Cheng and the others are foreigners and don't understand the local market, the drivers replied tacitly.
"But 600 rupees is too expensive." Xie Cheng knew that he couldn't handle these group of local drivers, but he didn't want to be slaughtered just like that. It's just that they still have tasks to do, and it's impossible to really waste time bargaining with each other. "400 rupees, do you want to go? Is anyone willing to go?" If there is no one, they can only accept the price of 600 rupees.
"...Okay, 400 rupees is 400 rupees." The driver hesitated for a moment, and quickly agreed with a grin - 400 rupees is already a good price.Although they don't make a lot of money, these two are decent white-skinned Westerners, and it's a great face to be able to attract such guests-for a backward city like Calcutta, Westerners are rare. No better than Delhi and Mumbai, which almost stagnated decades ago.
"Okay, let's go." After finally deciding on the price, Xie Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and together with Yi Li, they got into the shabby taxi they had ever seen—but in a strange city, there was nothing wrong with it. It's very picky, especially where you can see, other taxis are like this, not to mention bright and beautiful, not even clean and refreshing.
The only good thing is that since there were four of them, the taxi was already full, so the driver didn't try to solicit any more passengers, but started the car directly——Xie Cheng and the others didn't know how lucky they were, otherwise, God knows they would still be there. How long do you have to wait before you can wait for another guest on the same road.In this regard, black drivers all over the world are the same, and it is not enough until the taxi is filled with people.
The driver the two met was quite reliable. Of course, perhaps Paro Pier was relatively famous, so the driver took them to the pier smoothly without getting lost or stopping to ask for directions.
"Here we are." The driver stopped the car and said to the two of them.
"Okay, thank you." Xie Cheng took 500 rupees from Yili in the back seat and handed it to the driver.
The driver took the money and nodded to Xie Cheng, indicating that they can get out of the car.
"Don't you want change?" Xie Cheng frowned again - the city of Calcutta is really a test.Of course, there are large villages in the United States, but they are completely different from Calcutta. The former feels simple and peaceful, while the latter feels dirty and chaotic. Big cities like Delhi and Mumbai are almost two worlds.
"No change." The driver pretended to be stupid, "We agreed on 500 rupees."
"...Didn't we agree on 400 rupees?" Xie Cheng's brows could catch flies.
"500 rupees." The driver's dark face was full of persistence.
"..." Xie Cheng took a deep breath, and then suppressed his anger.
"Forget it, let's get out of the car." Yili also spoke out, and they could afford to lose 100 rupees. Although it made people feel very depressed because of this reason, they arrived at Paro Pier smoothly, without any accidents.In a foreign country, it is impossible to be cheated by the locals, especially for the driver, who is not cheated by fat sheep from other places?
"Okay." Since Yi Li said so, Xie Cheng could only hold his breath, turned around and got off the car with his lover.
He didn't feel better until Yi Li shook his hand and silently comforted him.
Yi Li and Xie Cheng were not the only ones who were cheated.
In other words, compared to other teams, Yili and Xie Cheng are rare enough not to suffer too much.
If the other teams knew how Yili and Xie Cheng were treated, they would feel that the other party had met a kind driver, and at the same time cursed the bad-hearted black driver they had met!
For example, the blond beauties who went straight to the pier as soon as they got off the plane, under the pressure of turning around, completely forgot to exchange the local currency. .
"What?! $30?" When she arrived at the pier, Jenna thought she had heard it wrong.
"Yes, $30, if you don't have rupees." The swarthy taxi driver said happily - these drivers also prefer dollars to rupees, after all, the latter is more expensive and more valuable.
"No, it's too much!" Jenna shook her head, "I don't think it costs so much for the journey we've come here!" Even though Jenna didn't know the exchange rate between Indian rupees and US dollars, she instinctively noticed the driver Black heart - in fact, 1 dollar can be exchanged for 60 rupees, that is, 30 dollars is equivalent to 1800 rupees!Jenna was right, this is definitely the driver's big mouth!
"No, that's all, unless you come in rupees!" The driver was very happy that the two blonde beauties asked who knew Paro Jetty as soon as they got out of the airport, and after he answered, they immediately got into his car without even paying the price ask!They like passengers like this the most, especially the two blonde beauties who are so iconic! ——Of course, beauties don't affect them, that's all.
"You..." Jenna gritted her teeth. If she wasn't in a hurry, she really wanted to go to the local police station and ask the police to do justice (but I don't know if the police will help them). This driver must have killed them!She can guarantee it!
"This is really too much, can't it be less? To be honest, we don't have that much money." Elena pressed Jenna lightly, and let her come forward to bargain with the driver—if possible, she certainly didn't want to waste it Time is on this kind of thing, and they still have to catch up with the task, but this driver is too much!The program group gave them a very limited budget, and now they have a total of more than 150 dollars on them. The driver asked for 30 dollars at once, not to mention Jenna, even she couldn't bear it.
"Then..." Looking at Elena, who has a pretty face and a gentle tone, the driver couldn't help being distracted, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Then, $25 can't be less. It's already for your sake Already!"
"This..." Elena didn't think it was a sincere price. She shook her head and said in embarrassment, "Is $15 okay? This is already the highest price we can afford. If we had known that taking a taxi was so expensive, We'd rather be a bus."
The second half of the sentence is a lie, the bus is so slow, unless you are not in a hurry, or the program group specifies to take the bus, otherwise, no one will be stupid enough to use this kind of transportation. The driver haggles.
"No, no, $15 is too little!" Drivers are not confused when they see beautiful women, they are one of the smartest people in the world, and they can tell which customers have money and which customers have no money just by looking at them , so I also know that these two beauties are indeed in short supply. Looking at the tall cameraman and sound engineer carrying the video camera and tape recorder, the driver didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only talk to the beauties honestly, "20 Dollars, you have to give me at least $20!"
"...Okay." Elena and Jenna looked at each other, both of them knew that they could only go so far.
Handing over $20 to the driver with his own hands, and seeing the satisfied expression flashing across the other's dark and shrewd face, the two of them felt that their hearts were bleeding!This driver must have slaughtered them hard!
But the matter has come to this point, and the two have no way out, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
"Let's go, at least we have to be the first to complete the task!" Jenna stared at the taxi that turned and left, and said fiercely.
"Yeah!" Elena also fully agreed, even if they were tricked, they would be worth it!
The two asked passers-by, ran quickly to the sign of the pier, and saw the red and yellow clue box.
"We are the first!" Jenna said in surprise, looking at the full clue box.
"Yes!" Elena also had a smile on her face, "Quickly read the clue card." She rarely urged her friend.
"Hmm!" Jenna quickly took out a clue card, opened the envelope, and read skillfully, "Detour: Which traditional fuel to choose, to make fuel cakes, or to carry fuel straw?" Jenna and Elena glanced at each other , the former is manual work, and you may need to master some production skills, while the latter is physical work, and you will definitely be very tired. There is really no advantage.
"Let's make fuel cakes." Elena said.
"Okay." Jenna had no objection either. She flipped the clue card to the back and continued to read the mission details, "The contestants crossed the river by boat and arrived at Push Village. They found the village head's house and made [-] fuel cakes with cow dung. After drying, use the fuel cake to boil a pot of milk and distribute it to the children in the village, then you can pass this mission and get a new clue card from the village.”
"..." Elena frowned tightly when she heard the word cow dung—she grew up in the city, not those girls who were born in the west, and she was used to seeing cows and sheep. Never touched a live cow, let alone cow dung!At the thought of using cow dung to make that fuel cake, Elena felt that the world was gloomy.
"Niu ... cow ..." Jenna's face was not good -looking. She grew up with Aina, and the two people's life background was the same. What did they get in touch with the cattle was more uncomfortable than killing them!
"Let's go." Elena sighed helplessly, the task she chose had to be done on her knees.Even if the rules of the game allow changing tasks, they have to try it first before they can change.Moreover, they didn't have much confidence in the other task—carrying thirty bundles of wheat straw, which was by no means an easy task, and perhaps the former task was more suitable for them.
"Hmm." Jenna hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded. She didn't allow herself to be eliminated here!
The two quickly bought tickets and sailed to the opposite bank by boat.
They left on the front foot, and the black guy on the back foot also arrived-they also forgot to change the money, and were cheated by the driver, but maybe because they were tall and strong enough, the driver didn't dare to cheat them too much. After a high price, they bargained and asked them to pay. The $15 also made the brothers feel distressed.
"Let's carry the straw." Bruno decided after Ario finished his choice.
"Okay." Ario also agreed with this decision. Among all the teams, is there anyone more suitable for this task than them? Help the villagers of Yeti Village move [-] bundles of straw to the boat, and take the boat to Hapu Village to get a new clue card from the village head of Hapu Village.”
"This task is good." Bruno nodded in satisfaction. It didn't sound like it had any technical content. He liked this kind of task the most!
"Yes, let's go!" Ario also smiled. After so many stages, he finally has a task that is good at them!This time, they must be the first to complete this mission!
After them, Yi Li and Xie Cheng also came to the pier.
"Let's carry the straw." Yili and Xie Cheng hesitated, but chose the latter, especially after reading the mission details.
The two quickly got on the boat bound for the opposite bank. After arriving, they asked for directions on the bank and ran quickly to Yeti Village.
"Chester, Lilian, you are here too." Before the two of them reached Yeti Village, they saw Ario and Bruno on the side of the road carrying a large bundle of straw, and the other party greeted them with a smile , but did not stop.
"Yes." Xie Cheng smiled at them, and did not stop to greet them. The two sides just nodded and greeted each other, and then the one who moved the straw and the one who went to the village went to the village.At this time, they all knew that the task was the most important.
"Hello, we are here to help transport straw." The two soon came to the village. It is also very rare to become a mission location. Almost the whole village came out to watch, especially the children, who have been poking around not far from them.
"You have to help Amir's family move thirty bundles of straw." The village chief of Yeti village said to them.
"Okay, we got it." The two nodded, and quickly went to Amir's house, explaining the purpose of their visit. The program team also communicated with the other party in advance, and the other party pointed to the haystack outside the door, indicating that this is the two people Straw to be moved.
Yili and Xie Cheng put their backpacks aside, and tentatively carried the bundled straw onto their shoulders.
The wheat straws here are as thick as one person's arms. Yili's strength is much stronger than when she was in the beginning, but she still can't carry the straws on her shoulders.Fortunately, Xie Cheng gave her a helping hand and helped her put the straw on top. Then Yili picked up the straw and walked towards the shore with Xie Cheng.
The straw is really heavy. Even Yili, who has adjusted her strength attributes in the main city, finds it difficult, let alone ordinary women. It can be said that among all female players, except for the female soldier group, women from other teams are likely to leave. You have to stop after a few steps. Even, if you are a woman with low natural strength, you may not even be able to carry it or move a step.
"How is it? Is it okay?" After walking a few steps, Xie Cheng looked at Yili with some concern.
"I'm fine." Yi Li exhaled, nodded to Xie Cheng, indicating that she was fine.
"If you're tired, don't force it." Xie Cheng said to Yi Li seriously, "You move less, and leave the rest to me."
"Okay." Yili smiled at Xie Cheng, "You have to work harder this time." It is an indisputable fact that her strength is not as strong as Xie Cheng's, and in this regard, Xie Cheng can only be more tolerant up.But this does not mean that Yi Li will rest on the side, on the contrary, she will still do her best to work instead of leaving everything to Xie Cheng.That was too much and too selfish.
"Of course, just don't force yourself." Xie Cheng wished that he would work harder, but he also knew that the other party was not the kind of person who would just sit back and enjoy what she got, and instead would spare no effort to do what she could do.Don't look at the pleasant words now, such as "you have to work harder", but these are all words to coax him.In the end, I am optimistic, Yili will definitely do it from beginning to end.Thinking of this, Xie Cheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless despite being sweet.
The two carried the straw one after the other, and walked towards the boat parked on the shore without stopping.
Xie Cheng was stronger and walked faster. When Yi Li was about to reach the shore, Xie Cheng had already moved his bundle of straw to the boat and turned around to meet Yi Li.
"It's okay, I can still move it." Yi Li shook her head at Xie Cheng, "I'll tell you when I can't move it."
"..." Then he won't hear Yili say that she can't move anymore after 100 years, which is another nice sentence.Xie Cheng shook his head, raised his hand directly to take the straw from Yili's shoulder, and carried it to his shoulder, "It's okay, it's just the last few steps. Besides, it's not easy for you to let go on the boat, I'm just helping That's all."
It was difficult for Yili to even lift it up, and it was quite remarkable to be able to walk here only a little slower than him.When I put it down later, it will be the same as carrying it up. It is more difficult than carrying it away. Yili may not be able to put it down properly, and it will be troublesome if her arm is strained when she is put down.
"Wait here for a while." Xie Cheng said to Yi Li, "I'll be fine in a while, it's not a few steps anyway."
"Yeah." Xie Cheng's words had reached this point, and Yi Li didn't insist on anything anymore.What's more, when Xie Cheng took the heavy bundle of straw off her shoulders, Yi Li really relaxed and felt a sense of liberation.
Yili stood where she was, watching Xie Cheng briskly put the straw on the bow, then turned and walked towards her.
"Let's go."
"Ah."
The two quickly returned to Amir's house, Yili carried another bundle of straw with the help of Xie Cheng, and the two walked to the side of the boat again.
Time and time again, each bale of straw is about the same thickness, yet feels heavier and heavier.
"How is it?" Xie Cheng was only breathing a little bit short of breath, but Yili's forehead and the tip of her nose had already seeped layers of fine sweat, and beads of sweat would leave her forehead and neck from time to time, and the vest on her body was also faintly covered. See wet.
"It's okay." Yili took a deep breath, and then smiled at Xie Cheng, "I'm fine, let's go. If I can't move anymore, I'll call you to help me move."
"...Really?" Xie Cheng was very skeptical, Yili's credit in this area has always been negative.
"Really!" Yili said firmly, "I won't lie to you."
"..." He said it as if he could do something to her if he lied to him.But seeing Yi Li's sincere face, Xie Cheng decided to trust her one last time, if it was really too reluctant, he would just take measures directly.
This time, Xie Cheng's pace was still the same as before. This level of physical work is nothing to a man who has trained himself, but behind him, Yili's pace was much slower than before. Every step of the movement is extremely difficult.
Xie Cheng turned his head back to check on Yili's situation from time to time, seeing that the other party was still gritting his teeth and persisting without saying a word, his brows gradually frowned, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but quickly fell silent.Doesn't he know the character of the other party?Instead of making useless persuasion here, it is better to take action directly.Thinking of this, Xie Cheng quickened his pace again, moved the straw on his shoulders to the boat as soon as possible, and returned to Yili's side as before, to take care of the lover who was a little powerless...
After helping Yili transport the straw to the boat, the two returned to Amir's yard again.
Of the 30 bundles of straw, only less than half of them have been transported, and there is still a high pile left.
In front of the house next door, the black guys had almost finished moving the straw, and the two brothers had an absolute advantage in this matter.
Seeing Xie Cheng looking at them, the black brother who happened to be back in front of the house grinned at him, and Xie Cheng also smiled at them.
"Chester?" Seeing that Xie Cheng hadn't moved, Yili couldn't help reminding her.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng turned his head, smiled at Yili, turned around and picked up a bundle of straw, and carried it directly on his shoulder.
"Chester!" Yi Li quickly stopped him, she couldn't carry a bundle of straw by herself, Xie Cheng had to help her.
"Hey." Xie Cheng sighed, "Who said it just now, did you say it yourself when it was too bad?"
"..." Yili coughed a little guiltyly, and then summoned up the courage to say, "I said it, but I'm fine now. If I can't do it, I will say it myself. Really!" For To enhance persuasiveness, she specially emphasized it at the end.
"Is it okay for you to call me that?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, put down the heavy load on his shoulders, walked up to Yili in two steps, patted Yili's arm, and immediately felt that the other's arm was trembling slightly That's a sign of excessive force. He saw something wrong with Yili's arm just now. If he wants to confirm more, the other party's legs should also be unstable...
"Hiss..." Yi Li was also startled by Xie Cheng's action, her arms felt slightly sore, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Huh?" Xie Cheng looked at Yi Li leisurely, his eyes filled with what else you have to say.
"But..." Yili knew that it would be useless to worry about whether she was tired or not—Xie Cheng had already confirmed this point, but, "We still have so many unmoved, I can't let you do this by yourself."
You know, Xie Cheng is still wounded, and the piece of gauze on his forehead is impossible to ignore—the wound has already stopped bleeding, and the gauze has been removed, but before they start this mission, stay at the mission site The doctor next to him stuck it up for Xie Cheng to prevent the straw from poking into the wound and causing the wound to burst.Therefore, even Xie Cheng was doing missions with injuries, and Yili felt that she had no reason to watch.
"Who told you to rest?" Xie Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth, "At most, I will let you rest for a while, about the time I moved twice, and then you can work together, I think it will be more efficient." Eli is more acceptable.
To be honest, if Yili is really the kind of delicate girl who can't carry it on her shoulders or hands, maybe Xie Cheng will be more relieved, at least, then he won't have to do everything possible to let her clingy partner rest.However, if that's the case, this is not his beloved girl anymore. He really likes her for being strong, independent, and never giving up... Although it will occasionally give him a headache, such as now, but he will appreciate it even more This characteristic of the opponent.
"...Okay." Yi Li paused, and finally agreed - as long as she wanted, she had ten thousand ways to continue working.For example, you can hold down the straw with your hands, and you don't move it yourself, and you are not allowed to move Xie Cheng. In this case, Xie Cheng can only compromise for the sake of the competition.But this would be too capricious.She understands Xie Cheng's kindness and is willing to cherish it.
More importantly, she knew that she was indeed reaching her limit. If she continued to move this time, she might not be able to move halfway.In this case, it is indeed more effective to take a short break and work hard.
"Don't force yourself too much." Yi Li couldn't help Xie Cheng said, "If you're tired, it's okay to take a little rest."
"Do I look like I'm reluctant?" Xie Cheng hooked his mouth, knowing that he had persuaded Yili, then he picked up the straw on the ground and said to Yili relaxedly, "Lean in the shade a little, I will soon Just come back."
"En." Yili nodded to Xie Cheng, and after watching Xie Cheng walk away slowly, she leaned her back against the wall and let out a long breath.
During Yili's rest period, the other two teams also came here.
However, after trying to carry it once, Brianna, her father, and the Dunphys quickly gave up this high-intensity physical task, and would rather waste the time of going back and forth than continuing to toss on this task , re-boat to other villages for another, slightly less tiring job.After all, Xie Cheng is young and strong, and can take on a little more in this task, but Brianna's father is not young anymore, and the Deng Fei couple have passed their prime.
"I've rested." When Xie Cheng came back again, Yi Li quickly stood up and said to him.
"Yeah, I know." Xie Cheng nodded amusedly.
"Really take a rest." Yi Li always felt that her credit in Xie Cheng was about to go bankrupt, so she immediately reiterated.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng smiled, "Come on, girl, it's time to start working."
"Okay." Yi Li's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded.
After a short rest, Yili's physical strength has indeed recovered almost.
With Xie Cheng's help, she quickly carried the straw with him.
The two were busy, and the bundles of straw were quickly transported to the ship.
When the move was almost finished, Yi Li's arms were sore and her legs were weak, and Xie Cheng was also sweating profusely.
"Phew, that's enough." The two of them checked for the last time and found that there were indeed thirty bundles of straw. Then they put on their backpacks and set off with the boatman, slowly rowing towards the village on the other side of the river.
Calcutta is located on the delta of the Ganges, and Ili and Shecheng are now on this holy river in India.
But unlike most people's imagination, this river, known as the birthplace of Indian culture, is not clear but dirty.Only in the upper reaches of the river can there be a slightly cleaner place, and on the Calcutta side, it is a little dirty.
At least, when the two of them looked down, they could only see a piece of gray river water, and there were all kinds of waste floating in the river water, which made people frown.
The delivery ship arranged by the program group is not a modern ship, but a slightly ancient boat.
Yili, Xie Cheng, and the boatman are all on this side of the boat, and the boat to the other side is full of the fruits of their labor, that is, the bundles of straw.
The boatman's movements are very skilled, but also very slow. Yili and Xie Cheng urged him, but the boatman remained the same. The two could only wait patiently for the boat to dock, so that they could get this new clue card. .
bang...
I don't know what hit the bottom of the boat, and the hull suddenly shook violently.
Under the worried eyes of the two, a bundle of straw on the side of the hull just fell into the river from the crumbling side!
"[Beep]!" This is the first time Yili has seen Xie Cheng lose her composure, and Yili herself is about to collapse—the boat has rowed out for so long, then rowed back, carried the straw, and set off again, it took time. It was terrible!
Yili could imagine the other teams catching up!
Just when Yili was not feeling well, Xie Cheng suddenly stood up, "Chez..."
Before Yili finished speaking, Xie Cheng jumped into the water and grabbed the straw that was sinking. The straw was originally very light and should be able to float by itself, but these straws were tightly tied together. The weight is too heavy, and its own buoyancy is too limited.Just like a piece of white paper can easily float on water, but a stack of unopened A4 papers can't float. This is the same reason. Gravity far exceeds buoyancy, and things will naturally sink.However, this insufficient buoyancy did make the bundle of straw lighter than the ground, otherwise, Xie Cheng might not be able to catch it!
"Chester!" Yi Li threw herself to the side of the boat, watching Xie Cheng sink and sink in the unclean water.
"I'm here." Xie Cheng quickly surfaced, took the heavy bundle of straw and swam to the side of the boat with difficulty, and said to Yi Li, "Lilian, take it, I'll lift it up."
"Yeah!" Yili immediately nodded in response.
With one person struggling in the water and the other pulling hard on the boat, the wet bundle of straw was finally dragged onto the boat and piled up with its other brothers and sisters again. Xie Cheng also crawled drenched on board.
Yili quickly took out dry clothes from their backpacks, "Put on first!"
If you get a cold from it, that's too bad.What worries Yili the most is that there is still a stitched wound on Xie Cheng's forehead. If it gets infected by touching the unclean river water, it will be even more troublesome.
"Yeah." Xie Cheng took the clean clothes handed over by Yi Li, and the cameraman also moved the camera in coordination. Xie Cheng then hurriedly changed into dry clothes, but he still looked a bit embarrassed.
"On the forehead..." Yili couldn't hide her worry, "Let the doctor sterilize it later."
"Okay." Xie Cheng didn't object either, they didn't want their wounds to be infected and sent to the hospital because of their negligence.
"Hmm..." Seeing that Xie Cheng had changed his clothes, Yili paused, and then you whispered, "Why are you just..." and jumped off?Yili never expected that Xie Cheng would do this.Although she also thought that besides going back to the village, there may be other remedies, such as seeing if there are any tools on the boat to hook the straw back, and even Xie Cheng's approach did not flash through her mind , but she just habitually ignored this idea—after all, this river is so...
"I can't let us lose here." Xie Cheng smiled, reaching out his hand to pat Yili on the shoulder, but thinking of the peculiar smell all over his body, he quickly gave up this idea, but the keen Yili immediately held her hand , Xie Cheng was taken aback, his eyes softened instantly.
"However, can the wet straw pass the competition..." Xie Cheng quickly thought of something more important.
"It should be possible." Yili thought for a while and replied, "The clue card only said it was straw, not dry straw. Besides, we didn't damage it on purpose, and this kind of accident is beyond our control. The program group should I won’t get stuck on this.”
Yili remembered that in the past competition, there was a task to classify all kinds of potatoes, but the outside of the potatoes was covered with mud, and it took a very careful identification to distinguish different potatoes. It is also easy to make mistakes and have to start all over again.As a result, a team of players couldn't bear to make mistakes again and again, so they decided to find another way, spit on the potatoes directly, and forcibly rubbed off the dirt on the outside of the potatoes with their saliva... This method is indeed difficult to describe, but it is indeed not against the rules.
