Chapter 120: Chapter 102: Huo Miao and Jian Tiantian Fight

Jian Tiantian came looking for Jiang Ning, and just as Jiang Ning was about to make a trip into the forest, she heard what Jian Tiantian had to say, turned on her heel, and joined Mu Mingxuan and the others.

Nong Chun followed Jiang Ning, also heading over.

Seeing the two approaching, Mu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Ning and asked, "We can’t just sit here and wait to die, we plan to send out a distress signal to the outside world, do you two want to participate?"

"How?" Jiang Ning’s mind raced, "Lay out the SOS signal with stones? Create a smoke signal?"

Mu Mingxuan: "..."

Isn’t that what you do in a wilderness rescue? Damn, Jiang Ning has named all the methods!

How is he supposed to respond!

Jiang Ning didn’t notice Mu Mingxuan’s subtle expression, she nodded, "If it’s like that, I can join in."

It was already the third day, the production team was still nowhere to be seen, and Jiang Ning had no intention of just waiting around. When Jian Tiantian had stopped her just now, Jiang Ning had already decided to go to the forest to gather some dry and wet wood. That way, she could create a smoke signal and alert the outside world that there were people on the desolate island calling for help.

Now that Mu Mingxuan and the others were also of the same mind, Jiang Ning certainly wouldn’t refuse to cooperate. After all, free labor was not to be declined.

The guests quickly started discussing and took action.

The more open the area for lighting the smoke signal, the better, and after looking around, they quickly found a good spot, then went to the forest to pick up some kindling and firewood.

Wearing gloves, Jiang Ning collected some fresh leaves from the forest. Kindling easily catches fire, but it doesn’t create smoke. If you lay fresh leaves on top, they can produce a lot of smoke.

Many hands make light work, and with their survival at stake, not a single person dared to slack off. Soon enough, they had gathered sufficient firewood.

After the smoke signal was lit, Jian Tiantian, worried that the observers wouldn’t understand their intent, rummaged through her luggage and scrawled the word "HELP" on the hem of a white skirt, using several sticks of lipstick. She then fixed the skirt to a small bamboo pole, forming a makeshift distress flag.

Then everyone together secured this lifesaving flag next to the smoke signal. The hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind, the writing stark red.

[Ahhhh! That C-brand skirt, one skirt for 110,000!]

[Those ruined lipsticks aren’t cheap either, a few thousand a stick...]

[This has to be the most basic, yet most expensive flag I’ve ever seen (laughcry.jpg)]

[Maids, wake up, have you finished the tasks at hand before you start feeling sorry for the princess living in luxury?]

After finishing the smoke signal, everyone moved a lot of rocks and arranged them on the ground to form the "SOS" distress signal.

Yuan Wei, out of breath, said, "With this, it should be enough."

Ling Bo stood on the rocks, his gaze heavy as he looked around at the vast sea empty of any ships.

Moving wood or rocks was physical labor, everyone was a bit tired, and Jiang Ning felt hungry.

She was preparing to go into the forest to catch a rabbit to roast and eat.

Nong Chun, feeling like he was Jiang Ning’s little follower, saw Jiang Ning leaving and immediately started to follow.

Jiang Ning gave him a glance and turned to say, "I’m going to the forest to catch a couple of rabbits, you go check the bait I threw into the sea this morning to see if any fish took it."

Jiang Ning thought, whether it was catching chickens or rabbits, she could handle it alone. Plus, after capturing the rabbits or chickens, there was processing and cooking to be done, which took a lot of time. If the fishing gear in the sea had caught fish, cooking fish would be a lot quicker.

But hearing this, Nong Chun felt somewhat ashamed.

Because during the two hunting attempts in the forest yesterday, it was clear that he was the one holding them back, not being able to help at all.

Nong Chun acknowledged with a sound, patted his head, then took the titanium pot and ran towards the sea.

If he wasn’t of help in hunting in the forest, he thought he’d better shine in other tasks!

Huo Ziheng and the others were also a bit tired. After they finished moving the stones, everyone was huffing and puffing, Yuan Wei and Lin Qi even went straight into the tents to rest.

Huo Miao had been paying attention to Jiang Ning’s movements, saw her heading into the forest, and immediately pulled Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan, "Second brother, Mingxuan, look, Jiang Ning is heading into the forest."

Huo Ziheng glanced and turned back unconcerned, dismissing it, "She’s probably looking for food."

But it was Mu Mingxuan who kept his gaze fixed on the solitary yet nonchalant figure of Jiang Ning as she left. Just now, when everyone was moving firewood and stones, Jian Tiantian and Huo Miao each only carried one or two pieces of wood, or a not-so-large stone.
