Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

Chapter 33 National Treasure Siblings

“You know where we’re heading? Where?”

“We’re heading to where there is a way out.”

As her obsidian-like eyes revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart, Lu Yang’s eyes curved into crescents.

“Another terrible joke...”

“Although it’s a lame joke, does everyone realize that Lu Yang finds it funny every time? She’ll smile every time!”

“I thought he would say it’s the path to his heart.”

“Fortunately, he’s telling his sister that terrible joke. Lu Mingyu would have been beaten up if this had occurred in front of others. Oh, it appears that Lu Mingyu is the one who is beating people up. Sorry for the disturbance.”

“Eh? Why is a wooden house here?” Lu Mingyu’s voice became louder abruptly.

Lu Yang turned around to face him.

The number on the wooden sign was 7330.

“This wooden house is too shabby,” Lu Mingyu complained.

Lu Yang nodded. “That’s right.”

To prevent Lu Yang from touching any grass or branches behind him, Lu Mingyu widened the route in front of him as he walked.

When Lu Yang came in the morning, she did not specially open up a path in advance, but fortunately, she was wearing a thin coat, so she avoided getting cut or scratched.

Lu Yang didn’t need a detour because of the experience obtained that morning. She proceeded straight for the bamboo forest.

Both the distance traveled and the amount of time spent traveling were reduced.

The deep forest in the mountains was filled with fresh-smelling green leaves aromas. Tall and thin green bamboo trees blocked the blazing sun. The temperature was considerably lower here than it was outdoors.

A rhythmic sound emanated from the bamboo grove as it swayed in the wind. It was comforting to the ears and uplifted the mood, like music that gently brushed by the ears.

Lu Mingyu closed his eyes and lifted his chin, immersing himself in the symphony of nature.

He was a writer-singer who had just hit a bottleneck. Chen Su encouraged him to participate in the variety show so that Lu Mingyu could experience other things and see if it would give him any new perspectives or spark any creative inspiration.

Lu Yang was unaware of Lu Mingyu’s mental state because she was focused entirely on the bamboo.

She walked to the thick bamboo and took out the knife given by the program team.

“The bamboo is so big, and the knife is so small. How can she cut it?”

“Cutting bamboo with a swiss knife is like using a toothpick to pry open an iron door. It’s delusional.”

“This place is so eerie. I feel like wild beasts will appear at any time.”

“This knife is so small and short. How did Lu Yang cut the bamboo in the morning? Although the bamboo isn’t as big as this, it’s not small either.”

It was the first time the program team had seen the bamboo forest.

They didn’t enter this place before because wild beasts would really appear.

Seeing that Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang had entered, the program team standing in front of the screen also watched on in fear.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Only after hearing three loud noises did Lu Mingyu’s immersion in the wild forest end.

“Yangyang.”

“Mingyu.” Lu Yang turned to him. “Pull this bamboo out.”

Lu Mingyu looked over and saw a bamboo with a clean cut on the ground.

“Huh?”

The viewers watching the live stream were dumbfounded.

“A swiss knife could really cut bamboo so neatly!” the viewers mused.

“Surely Lu Yang cannot be a bamboo spirit. She must have repeatedly chanted in her head, “Bamboo, I command you to kill yourself!” Then, with a clatter, the bamboo fell.”

“I was watching just now. She appeared to have used a knife to cut the bamboo by the pattern before kicking it twice, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud.”

“She’s a professional. This is even possible for her!”

“I seriously suspect that she can make me half-dead without hurting me with her knife skills and techniques. The doctor’s diagnosis is that it’s a minor injury.”

Lu Mingyu didn’t think much of it. He pulled the bamboo out according to Lu Yang’s request and broke off the small branches and leaves with his bare hands.

After Lu Yang was done with the bamboo, she remembered that Lu Mingyu did not eat much today and should be hungry by now.

“Mingyu, let’s bring some bamboo shoots back.”

Lu Yang knelt and started to chop the bamboo shoots seriously.

“Can this be eaten?” Lu Mingyu asked, puzzled.

“Yes.”

Lu Yang peeled off the skin of the bamboo shoot and put it in her mouth. She took a bite, chewed, and then handed it to the stunned Lu Mingyu.

“Mingyu, try it.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone eat bamboo shoots raw!”

Seeing the hesitation on Lu Mingyu’s face, Lu Yang explained, “Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous. You can eat it raw.”

Now that his doubts had been answered, Lu Mingyu took a big bite and chewed a few times. He complimented, “The taste is not bad.”

“The look on Lu Mingyu’s face suggests that he has found a whole new world. It appears as though he wants to steal every bamboo shoot growing on the mountain.”

“This is the true plucking of bamboo shoots!”

...

“They’re eating bamboo shoots raw? Are they two pandas?”

“I know what this siblings pair is called. They are the national treasure siblings! The bamboo-eating national treasure siblings panda.”

Seeing that Lu Mingyu was chewing more and more forcefully, Lu Yang commented, “The bottom part of the bamboo shoot will be bitter, and it won’t taste good if eaten raw.”

“Then, I’ll just sharpen the bottom and use it as the tip of the bamboo shoot.”

“Lu Mingyu’s passion for eating bamboo shoots raw is so strong that he can even say that he’s sharpening the end to treat it as a bamboo shoot tip. Hahahahaha!”

“I bet Lu Yang must be thinking for him not to tell anyone that he’s her brother to save face.”

In the end, the two of them returned with a big bamboo and two bamboo shoots.

The wild beast that the production team had expected did not appear, and they were temporarily relieved.

There was a newly plowed road. Lu Mingyu followed it and did not get lost.

The two of them came out of the dense forest and heard the notification from the program team.

“Team two, Qin Yitan and Wen Jian, have completed the task of picking up garbage from the beach. 10 points are awarded. It’s our responsibility to protect the marine environment. Please don’t throw garbage into the sea.”

...

“Qin Yitan is so awesome! He won the best male singer award for two years in a row!”

“The theme of this season’s show seems pretty good. I can see that they’re more attentive than in the first season. It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment!”

“Please, a man who picks up trash is super handsome, okay? More points are even added for them. It’s a whole 10 points! That’s a whole 5 points more than Lu Mingyu’s!”

Qin Yitan and Wen Jian, who had been fishing for fish at the beach for a long time but still caught nothing, were relieved when they heard the announcement of the points being added.

They didn’t pick up trash for so long in vain.

However, the anxiety of not being able to catch the fish that was swimming in front of them did not decrease.

Seeing Lu Yang’s figure, Wen Jian stood up immediately as if she had found a life-saving straw. “Lu Yang is back! I’ll go and borrow a harpoon from her!”

Qin Yitan did not stop her after wasting half a day’s effort.

Wen Jian turned around, then turned back again. She said to Qin Yitan, “Out of courtesy, let’s go together.”

“I can catch the fish myself!” Qin Yitan’s face darkened.

“Is she asking me to beg Lu Mingyu? Dream on!” he thought.

“Are you afraid that you’ll be embarrassed if you can’t catch a fish with a harpoon?” Wen Jian looked straight into his eyes, unreservedly exposing his thoughts.

“I refused because I don’t want to, not because it was tough,” Qin Yitan explained.

“I must not increase the tremendous humiliation of failing to catch a fish,” he mused inwardly.

Wen Jian was adamant that people who were stubborn have no food.

She waved her hand. “Then, free feel to do whatever you want. I want to borrow a harpoon from Lu Yang. I want to eat fish.”

Looking at Wen Jian’s back and the fish right in front of him, the fresh and delicious fish seemed to be right in front of him, just within reach.

But when Qin Yitan reached out, the fish disappeared like bubbles.

Qin Yitan was so angry that he punched the water.
