Chapter 93: Mother Huo’s Sickness
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“According to the bad intentions of the production team, I seriously suspect that only a small number of the little red flags in this entire forest are real. So in fact, we need to find the real little red flag to win.”
“Sit down and rest for a while. We’ll look for it later.” Xian Yu’s attention wasn’t on the little red flag at all. He looked at his flowery cat-like sister and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.
“The real red flag isn’t that easy to find. There’s no hurry.”
Nan Qiao a.n.a.lyzed the situation as she did so. “Big Brother, I think we can do it. Ahhh~”
Nan Qiao had just made a new discovery when something p.r.i.c.ked her mid-sentence, causing her to pull the item up.
There was a red flag in her dirty palm. Moreover, this red flag was very different from the other red flags. There were no patterns like on the other red flags, but there was a star on this red flag.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
Nan Qiao thought that there shouldn’t be anyone randomly throwing a red flag in the forest, except for the production team. Moreover, other than the fact that she had dirtied it with her muddy hands just now, this red flag looked quite new.
Xian Yu’s heart was in turmoil.
F*ck! F*ck!
His sister had just pulled out a red flag, and it was done so casually.
Was the little red flag so easy to pick up?
“Uh… Big Brother, I think I accidentally pulled it up…” Nan Qiao was dumbfounded and blinked her big innocent eyes.
“Congratulations to Nan Qiao for obtaining the seventh little red flag. Coordinates: 119, 457.”
After hearing the System’s channel, Nan Qiao realized a problem. She had not received any punishment for pulling up the flag.
“Big Brother, run! This flag is the real one!”
Nan Qiao couldn’t be bothered to rest anymore. She held Xian Yu’s hand and ran away.
The two of them ran like in the game Temple Run.
In the end, they jumped out of the line.
“Congratulations, Nan Qiao and Xian Yu. They have successfully brought back the real flag. The game is over.”
Xian Yu and Nan Qiao couldn’t hide the surprise on their faces. So there was only one real flag in the entire forest. Was everything else fake?
Could the production team be any more despicable!
Originally, the both of them thought they would be satisfied to bring back any one flag.
Unexpectedly, the flag they brought back was the real flag.
Moreover, they had accidentally picked it up.
Xian Yu was overjoyed and sized up his Little Sister again.
He realized that ever since he came to this show, his Little Sister seemed to have been possessed by good luck. She always encountered good things.
His sister might have turned into a koi fish.
“Congratulations to Nan Qiao and Xian Yu for obtaining 10 points. The rest of you have obtained 0 points. Currently, Nan Qiao has 162 points, Liu Fang has 152 points, Xiao Yu has 95 points, Liao Xiao Tian has 95 points, Xian Yu has 89 points, and w.a.n.g Yuyan has 79 points.”
“Congratulations to the top five for the opportunity to board the rescue ship.”
As soon as the recording ended, the production team returned the phones to each guest. As soon as Nan Qiao turned on the phone, she received several missed calls and quickly called back.
“What’s wrong, Nuo Nuo? Did you call me so many times?” Nan Qiao asked as she smelled the fragrance of the Lingzhi she had found.
“Qiao, something happened to Huo Yichen.”
Hearing this news, Nan Qiao’s expression became unfocused. She almost couldn’t hold the Lingzhi she wanted to bring home.
She immediately thought of Mother Huo. Something must have happened to her.
Nan Qiao pinched her fingers and bit her lower lip. “I’ll be back soon.”
* * *
It was already very late when Nan Qiao got home. She sent a message to Huo Yichen.
“Are you OK?”
However, this message was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reply for a long time.
She had been running in the jungle for the entire day. She was so tired that she fell asleep unknowingly. Even though she was sound asleep, her screen was still lit. The name displayed at the top of the chat interface was Huo Yichen.
When Nan Qiao woke up the next day, she realized that her phone had run out of battery and was switched off. She quickly charged it and rushed to school.
Knowing that Nan Qiao was back, An Nuo was waiting for her at the school gate. Sure enough, not long after, a luxury car drove over. The little princess who got out of the car had a piece of bread in her mouth and was in a hurry.
“Nuonuo, what’s the situation now?” Nan Qiao hooked An Nuo’s neck and asked as they entered the school gate.
“I don’t know. Huo Yichen hasn’t been to school for two days. Today is the third day. I don’t know if he’s coming or not. However, everyone in the school is guessing that something happened to his mother.” An Nuo knew that Nan Qiao had always been on good terms with Huo Yichen, so she immediately informed Nan Qiao after knowing about this.
He had not been to school for two days.
But two days ago, she met him in the hospital. At that time, they had even talked about their dream University together.
She did not expect so many things to happen the moment she left.
“Nuonuo, help me apply for leave today. I have something on.”
After Murong Chen’s car left, Nan Qiao suddenly carried her school bag and ran out of the school.
“Hey! Qiao~” An Nuo could not call out to her at all. She could only stomp her feet on the spot and complain silently in her heart.
What bullsh*t was this? Wasn’t she just going to look for Huo Yichen?
How could she forsake her for a guy!
Nan Qiao had always known where the male lead lived, but she didn’t want to disturb him.
Nan Qiao ran straight to Huo Yichen’s house. Huo Yichen’s house was in a dilapidated small courtyard in the slums on West Street. In this small courtyard where most houses were on sale, Huo Yichen’s house only occupied a small piece of land, which was only 40 square meters.
Most of the people living here were people who came to the city to work. There were also some old families who were unwilling to move.
The houses looked very dangerous and could collapse at any time.
The environment here was also very bad. Trash was everywhere and it was chaotic. Even after Nan Qiao was chased out of her house in her previous life, she had found a bas.e.m.e.nt with a good environment to live in. She had never lived in such a difficult environment.
It was hard to imagine that Huo Yichen actually lived in such a place.
He also had to bear his mother’s expensive medical fees. Nan Qiao couldn’t imagine how hard his life was.
According to the address shown in the information, Nan Qiao finally found the male lead’s house after going through many twists and turns.
There was only a white wreath in front of Huo Yichen’s house, indicating that there was a funeral in the family.
There were children playing around. At this moment, the adults in their family immediately came to take the children away.
“Don’t come here to play. Be careful not to catch bad luck as someone has died in this family.”
Nan Qiao felt a lump in her throat. She didn’t expect that even their neighbors would look at Huo Yichen’s family like this.
Nan Qiao went to the door and knocked.
“I said I don’t have any money now. I’ll return it to you after I settle my mother’s funeral.”
It had only been a few days since they last met, but Huo Yichen had changed completely. He looked a lot more haggard, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e. It seemed like he hadn’t rested well for a few days and was listless..
