Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

Lu Mingyu answered readily, “I’m sorry.”

Pei Yiwu was taken aback. Although she had won, she did not feel happy at all. He had apologized so quickly, which made her feel a little petty.

Pei Yiwu got up gracefully and patted the dust off her clothes.

Lu Mingyu smiled at Lu Yang with a sense of foreboding.

“What happened?” Lu Yang asked gently, looking at Pei Yiwu.

Pei Yiwu answered truthfully, “It’s nothing. I just saved someone who was about to be pecked by a fish, but I didn’t receive any thanks. Instead, I was criticized.”

After hearing this, Lu Yang lowered her voice and called out, “Mingyu.”

Lu Mingyu responded awkwardly, rubbing his neck with his hand, and said, “Thank you.”

Pei Yiwu raised her chin slightly. “No problem.”

“Now, not only Lu Yang andJiang Yanzhou’s atmosphere is weird, Pei Yiwu and Lu Mingyu have also started…”

After a short break, the four of them went to the beach to catch crabs as planned.

There are usually many large crabs in the shallow waters of the ocean, but since they are buried in the sand, their shadows cannot be seen in the transparent water.

The four of them lightly scraped the sand with bamboo rakes. If they touched a crab, it would move and reveal itself. They could then scoop it into the bamboo basket with the rakes to avoid hurting their hands.

Pei Yiwu eagerly went to another area to catch crabs.

Lu Yang reminded her brother, “Mingyu, you two are on the same team.”

Lu Mingyu nodded and whispered, “Yangyang, Pei Yiwu saved me. What should I give her as a thank-you gift?”

Lu Yang glanced at Pei Yiwu and thought that his brother was starting to do the right thing by showing gratitude.

She diverted her gaze and said, “The English word for gift also means poison in German. ”

Lu Mingyu pondered for a moment and asked, “So can I give her poison as a

gift?”

“…I mean, if the gift is not appropriate, the effect will be the same as poison,” Lu Yang clarified.

“Hahaha! Is givingpoison as a thank-you gift a way to repay someone with poison?’

“Jiang Yanzhou, take good care of my sister!” Lu Mingyu instructed, catching up with Pei Yiwu’s footsteps.

Pei Yiwu squatted by the stones, moving them by hand and explaining:

“Crabs like to hide under rocks. If you gently move the rock, you can find crabs underneath, and then quickly grab them and put them in a bamboo basket.”

Lu Mingyu asked, “Aren’t you afraid of getting pinched?”

“I have thick skin and flesh,” Pei Yiwu replied.

Lu Mingyu looked at her and Jiang Yanzhou’s tender fingers and said nothing.

Pei Yiwu continued to talk enthusiastically, “Actually, there is another way to catch crabs by setting up a sticky net in the crevices of the rocks. Once the crabs come out and move, they will get stuck in the net, and we can catch many crabs that way.”

Lu Mingyu, being a competent tool person, quietly held the bamboo basket and

awkwardly said, “That’s good.”

“Pei Yiwu’s rich experience is showing!”

“Did you notice that Lu Mingyu praised Pei Yiwu? This is the first time he has praised anyone other than Lu Yang!”

Lu Yang and Jiang Yanzhou continued to focus on catching crabs without communicating.

Lu Yang skillfully scraped the sand and caught all the crabs. She looked at the crabs in the bamboo baskets of the two men and said, “Let’s release some of the small crabs back into the sea.”

Jiang Yanzhou replied, “Okay.”

“Arrogant, really arrogant. Other teams couldn’t even find any crabs, but she caught them and still wants to release them!”

“You guys don’t understand. Lu Yang is practicing sustainability by releasing small crabs back into the sea, allowing them to grow bigger before coming back to eat them.”

“Why wait for them to grow bigger?Just let the whole crab family reunite at the dinner table!”

As there were plenty of fish and crabs today, Lu Yang did not continue to catch other food.

The sun fell below the western horizon, and the glow illuminated the entire sky, outlining the lines of the mountains. A long strip of bright red burned beneath the layers of dark clouds, casting brilliant light into the deep forests and mountains.

Lu Mingyu and Pei Yiwu came back with dry twigs, and Lu Yang had already started the fire.

Pei Yiwu stated, “I remember the production team gave Jiang Yanzhou a pot in the package.”

The pressure cooker and lighter provided by the NPCs were taken back by the program team. If they wanted to cook crabs, the best option was to use a pot. Jiang Yanzhou handed water to Lu Yang and said, “Do you want to come with me to get the pot?”

Lu Yang drank some water and didn’t think too much about it, and replied,

“Okay.”

Before leaving, she looked at Lu Mingyu, who was working hard to make the flames stronger.

“Oh wow, the manual bellows Lu Mingyu is back in action!”
