Chapter 586 - Sea, mud, Zero (1/2)

Hearing Yuan Lei's question, everyone was sure that the relationship between the two is not harmonious. Even if Yuan Lei was trying to maintain her smile, the meaning behind her words was clear.

Xie Ming on the other hand didn't heed to her words and said, ” Hmm, you're right. How can you believe my words when you know nothing about cooking much less about edible herbs.” She said while nodding understandingly.

” If you think that this food can cause you food poisoning then don't eat. You can make your food yourself. Also, about the herbs, if they are edible or not, you can ask anyone in the village about it. Because the people in the village must know about it. Since they are locals here, they would know what kind of herbs these are. By then this matter clears, you can make your food yourself.” Xie Ming said casually as she picked up her chopsticks and took some stirred veggies to eat.

Everyone stared at Xie Ming and then at Jian Yan who was continually eating. They were hungry and the food looked delicious.

” I believe that Xie Ming won't put anything in the food without knowing what it is. So I am going to eat it.” Qin Bi picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

Seeing her acting like this, Lian Jun followed suit and when Sun Wen also started eating, others had no choice to do so. Also, they were so hungry that they could eat anything at that moment. They won't even mind if she has put those herbs randomly.

”-_-”

Yuan Lei pursed her lips and felt betrayed. They all left her and started eating while she was staring at them with her hungry eyes.

After staring at them for 5 minutes, she finally picked up her bowl as well. She tried to be as quiet as possible while eating.

Xie Ming saw her actions and her lips curled up in a mocking smile. She likes food and wants to eat it but she won't stop causing trouble.

Qin Bi scoffed and was about to say something but was stopped by Sun Wen. He doesn't want people to feel that they are trying to corner Yuan Lei. People should see Yuan Lei's true attitude themself.

….

In the evening, everyone has to play games to get the ingredients from the crew. The team has been divided into two groups mixed with the members of the regular cast and the eternal love.

Xie Ming, Wu Sheng, Jian Yan, Qin Bi, and Sun Wen were in one team.

While Yuan Lei, Lian Jun, and two other regular members in one team. Since Yuan Lei's team had fewer members, she created quite a fuss and in the end, Wu Sheng was sent to Yuan Lei's team and Xie Ming's team decided to play with the four members against 5.

The game was a treasure hunt and they had to search the food items that have been hidden by the crew members in the house at certain places and by following the hints they need to find their food.

The treasure hunt has 10 stages and whichever team completes the10 stages, they will be given an imported meat set and ingredients for a feast.

On the other hand, the losing team will only get to eat whatever items they have searched during the game.

Yuan Lei was uninterested in such trash games but she had no choice but to play.

After getting the cue cards, Xie Ming's team gathered in the corner to discuss the clue. It was a pictorial puzzle in which a few pictures were shown on the card.

” Sea, mud, Zero.” Qin Bi spoke aloud.

” What kind of clue is that? It's not even a map.” Sun Wen said annoyingly.

He glanced at Jian Yan and Xie Ming who were thinking about something.

” You got it?” Jian Yan asked Xie Ming when he saw her smile.

She nodded and walked towards the back courtyard. When Yuan Lei's team was busy understanding the pictures, Xie Ming's team walked towards their first target.

They both have one cue card and to get their second cue card they have to clear the first riddle. The puzzles they have are the same but in a different order.
