Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Eagle Chasing Tuanzi
The children returned with full bags.
They weren’t sure if they tasted good, but they picked a lot of sea buckthorn and pea fruits.
Seeing her big brother taking water by the river and filtering it, she quickly ran over with the wild fruits.
"Big brother, look!"
Gu Cheng examined them carefully, identified the two types of fruits, and praised her earnestly, "Miaomiao is really amazing, we’re just missing some fruits."
Tuanzi squinted and smiled, "Just a bit amazing. Miaomiao thought there was nothing to eat in the desert. Seems like there’s a lot to eat, let’s continue searching in the afternoon."
The other children also went to show off to their parents, while Tuanzi simply squatted by the side, watching her big brother filter the river water attentively.
"Is the water clean now? Can we wash the fruits?"
"Yes," Gu Cheng’s voice became much gentler when speaking to his sister, "the filter core of this filter is quite good, no water treatment is needed either before or after filtering."
Some filters still require purification tablets or boiling even after filtering.
He was worried that the show producers would trick them, but now it seems that Director Chen is much better than Director Li, no regrets about contacting Wu Ti.
Tuanzi happily washed a small handful of sea buckthorn fruits, thought again and decided to let her big brother try first.
"Big brother, open your mouth, ah!"
Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback but then awkwardly opened his mouth a little.
Soon there was a sea buckthorn fruit in his mouth.
The taste was really sour. However, this young director was always tolerant.
Gu Cheng remained expressionless, "Not bad."
"Really?"
Tuanzi thought she had smelled it wrong and greedily tossed a bunch into her mouth.
Tuanzi: (T ^ T)
Her fair little face scrunched up.
"So sour!"
After swallowing the sea buckthorn fruit, she was almost in tears.
Gu Cheng turned his head away.
Tuanzi squinted her eyes suspiciously, "Big brother, did you just laugh? You did it on purpose!"
[I can testify that Director Gu laughed]
[Didn’t expect you to be like this, Director Gu]
[Miaomiao’s little expressions are so rich, everyone wants to tease her]
Tuanzi angrily washed a few pea fruits and stuffed them into her mouth casually.
"Wow~"
Super sweet!
She squinted her eyes and smiled, her emotions shifted incredibly fast.
Having eaten something delicious, she smugly curled her lips and gave Gu Cheng a sidelong glance.
"Big brother, the dates are super delicious. You have to admit your mistake to taste the delicious dates."
Gu Cheng turned around, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Heroine Miaomiao, with unparalleled martial arts, chivalrous and righteous."
Tuanzi’s face turned red in an instant.
Big brother is so good with words, he deserves a date.
Maybe it’s because the pea fruit itself is sweet, or maybe it’s an illusion after eating the sea buckthorn fruit.
In any case, the siblings happily shared a small handful of dates.
Tuanzi even collected the date pits.
"I’ll bury them in the sand later, it would be great if a date tree could grow."
As for the sea buckthorn fruit, she felt a bit troubled.
"So sour."
Gu Cheng suggested, "You can take them back for your second brother."
"Does the second brother like sour food?"
Gu Cheng didn’t answer directly.
Tuanzi assumed that Gu Che liked it.
"Then before we leave here, let’s pick some sea buckthorn fruits specifically for him."
"Okay."
[Wait, I remember Gu Che doesn’t like sour stuff]
[Is Director Gu tricking his brother?]
[Gu Cheng: I’m not, I didn’t]
[To be honest, Gu Cheng didn’t answer directly, it doesn’t count as tricking... forget it, can’t find a reason, he’s definitely tricking Gu Che]
[Is Gu Che watching the live broadcast? Remember to avoid the pit!]
However, Gu Che was preparing for his concert tour, practicing singing and dancing every day, couldn’t watch the live broadcast and could only pitifully ask his assistant to record it.
The assistant records without turning on the chat.
When a group of people were together, they had dumplings and fried luncheon meat.
"Fried luncheon meat is so delicious."
Tuanzi gobbled up the luncheon meat but was a bit conflicted when eating the dumplings.
Gu Cheng always paid attention to her moves, "What’s wrong?"
"Not as good as imagined."
Tuanzi pouted, "Not as good as the ones Miaomiao makes."
"Frozen ones are always like this," Gu Cheng patted her head, "when we get home, we’ll make dumplings ourselves."
"Yay~"
Tuanzi still remembered her second brother and two cousins.
"Let’s invite Brother Pei Hai and Brother Wangchao to join us too."
Gu Cheng saw her empty metal can and pushed his dumplings towards her.
"Eat some more."
Tuanzi ate with big bites again, feeling stranger as she ate.
"Why does it feel like Miaomiao has eaten so much but isn’t full?"
She suspected these were fake dumplings.
[To be honest, every time I eat frozen dumplings, I have the same doubt]
[Feels like not eating]
[Ate fifteen in one go, not as good as eating five homemade ones]
The guests also ate a few fried eggs.
Gu Cheng handed his sister a boiled egg, "Eat it when you’re hungry in the afternoon, keep it safe now."
"Okay, okay."
Tuanzi always cherished food, carefully put the boiled egg in her pants pocket.
Ten guests rested for a while, ready to start setting up tents.
At night, the desert temperature would drop very low, they needed to keep warm in the tents. They had to set up the tents before dinner, as for the task of finding food, it had to be left to the children.
However, several children were a bit tired.
Parents told them to rest on the program group’s bus for a while.
A few buddies were already asleep, Tuanzi peeled at the window to peek, finding her big brother already drenched in sweat, she couldn’t help but pout.
After thinking, she slipped off the bus again.
"Big brother, Miaomiao will pick some more dates."
Since the date tree was nearby, Gu Cheng felt somewhat reassured.
Tuanzi slowly walked to the nearby date tree, thinking and then glancing at the desert not far away.
Yellow sand filled the air.
Suddenly, a shadow swiftly flew over her head.
Tuanzi looked up and saw an eagle.
"Eh, there’s an eagle, can we eat the eagle?"
[Ancient Martial System: It’s a protected animal, you can’t eat it, you just finished eating, stop thinking about food]
Tuanzi: "Hmph!"
Tuanzi puffed her cheeks slightly, getting ready to return and pick dates. From above came an eagle’s cry, she looked up again, that eagle flew back, circling above her head.
"What does it mean? Is it challenging Miaomiao?"
The system didn’t understand eagle language, but this eagle kept circling without leaving.
However, it quickly deduced its intention from the way it cried.
Generally, eagles make ’cooing’ sounds when startled, more prolonged, crisp cries when normal, and short hissing cries when attacking.
This eagle was hissing, seeming to want to attack the host.
[Ancient Martial System: It may want to attack you, martial artists’ aura tends to disturb animals]
As soon as the words fell, the eagle dove down sharply, its sharp beak sending chills down one’s spine.
Tuanzi clenched her fist.
"Miaomiao isn’t afraid, Miaomiao can pluck all its feathers."
Then she thought again, realizing she shouldn’t bully a protected animal, and jumped up angrily.
A chase ensued between human and eagle.
There were a few trees nearby, Tuanzi occasionally landed on branches to leverage, her toes tapping from time to time.
When there were no trees, she had to fly lower, occasionally landing on the sand to tap.
The cameraman ran with the camera on his shoulder.
[I can hear the cameraman breathing heavily]
[Thank you for your hard work]
[Why is the eagle chasing Miaomiao]
Luckily, Tuanzi didn’t plan to run far, she circled with the eagle, and the cameraman decided not to run anymore, standing at the center, his camera following Tuanzi and the eagle as they circled.
