Chapter 155: Chapter 127 Tearing and Fighting (Extra Chapter for Recommendation Votes)

Ling Bo really didn’t know.

Those monkeys just now had also tried to snatch his backpack, but Ling Bo fiercely protected his belongings.

What a joke, out here in the wilderness, supplies are as vital as life itself!

If those monkeys took his stuff, could he even make it out alive?

So, even as he bore the scratching and clawing of the monkeys, Ling Bo didn’t let go of his climbing pack.

He had injuries on his body too. After hearing Yuan Wei’s words, he immediately unzipped the backpack and started searching inside.

It was strange though, he remembered packing the medicine on top in the morning, there should have been six boxes, but now there were only three left.

And all three boxes were cold and fever medicine.

Ling Bo furrowed his brows and continued searching.

"Best Actor Ling, stop looking," Jian Tiantian suddenly said.

Jian Tiantian’s expression was stern, with several scratch marks from the monkeys on her face and neck.

But, among the guests, Jian Tiantian was the least injured because she failed to protect her belongings. Her backpack had been snatched by the monkeys.

After the monkeys took her backpack, they lost interest in her and stopped attacking.

Jian Tiantian stood up, her gaze towards Huo Miao carried a hint of resentment, "They took the medicine from your backpack at noon."

"Hmm?" Ling Bo was about to ask who took his medicine, then followed Jian Tiantian’s gaze and saw Huo Ziheng.

Yuan Wei suddenly exclaimed, "Ah," realizing something, "Young Master Mu, weren’t the injuries you got at noon caused by monkey scratches? What exactly did you do! Was it these same monkeys?!"

Huo Miao, who was lying in Mu Mingxuan’s arms, flickered in her gaze upon hearing Yuan Wei’s words, suddenly feeling a flutter of panic.

Jian Tiantian sneered, "It was indeed. If Huo Miao hadn’t deliberately thrown stones at that monkey, why would it have attacked her, and why would it lead other monkeys to assault us now!"

Jian Tiantian had been enduring the trio of Huo Miao for a long time!

All these days, she had suffered unfair treatment in silence!

Anyhow, now she had no supplies and might even die here.

Jian Tiantian was fearless, and not just because Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng were mere rich second-generations from a business background; even if they were powerful officials’ kids, this time she was ready to fight back!

Since her supplies were gone, and given what she knew about Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan these past days, how selfish they were, they certainly wouldn’t help her much; Jian Tiantian wouldn’t die in silence.

Yuan Wei and Lin Qi were shocked by what they heard. Huo Miao actually took the initiative to throw stones at monkeys?

Was she seriously ill?

Monkeys, such vengeful animals, and she provoked them on purpose?

Yuan Wei and Lin Qi’s gazes towards Huo Miao subtly contained anger.

Ling Bo was also angry. Clutching his bag, he asked Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng in a heavy tone, "Did you take my medicine?"

Huo Miao, with a guilty conscience, didn’t dare to make a sound.

Mu Mingxuan’s expression was so dark it seemed almost to drip with moisture.

Huo Ziheng spoke in a weak tone, "I took it."

Ling Bo was somewhat angry, his thin lips almost pressed into a straight line, "Where’s the medicine?"

"It’s all used up," said Mu Mingxuan in a bad tone, although in reality it was not completely used up. He still had two boxes of medicine in his pocket.

Because he was more severely injured than Huo Miao today, Huo Ziheng handed the medicine to him after taking it out.

However, Mu Mingxuan did not want to take it out. He greatly disliked Ling Bo’s tone, which resembled questioning a criminal, and, if he was not mistaken, those two boxes in his pocket should be the last two boxes of External Injury Medicine everyone had.

Mu Mingxuan would be a fool to take them out.

Ling Bo was so angry he could barely contain himself, and his last bit of wariness toward Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng disappeared as he exclaimed furiously, "Are you sick? Rifling through my things for no reason, a rich second-generation like you stooping to do such things?"

Ling Bo slammed his hand onto the ground with force. In reality, he wanted to punch Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng, but he had injuries too and couldn’t make such extensive movements.

"You think we’re keen on it? If it weren’t for this damned production team, I wouldn’t even want those few boxes of medicine if you begged me on your knees!" Mu Mingxuan arrogantly said, "How much is that medicine worth? Once I get out, I’ll compensate you tenfold, a hundredfold."

"If you can, then pay me back now. If you can’t produce it, then shut up," Ling Bo said as he picked up his backpack and walked to the other side, "I refuse to associate with a thief."

Being called a thief once again, the expressions on Mu Mingxuan’s and Huo Ziheng’s faces were somewhat unpleasant, yet they didn’t know how to retort.

Especially Huo Ziheng, who was pale as a sheet, looked to be in a bad state.

Watching the people squabbling, Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyebrows. Oh, were they about to disband?

"Well then, let’s separate and go our own ways," said Yuan Wei, who turned out to be the one speaking up.

Lin Qi sat leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, staying silent, as if he agreed.

[This team should have disbanded long ago. Not only did Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan favor Huo Miao and keep the best for themselves, but even when Yuan Wei and Ling Bo found food, it wasn’t fairly distributed. Every time, it was Huo Miao, who barely contributed, who got the most, while those like Ling Bo and Yuan Wei, who used up their energy, got even less than Huo Miao.]

[I wonder if Yuan Wei and the others have also noticed, hence the last few times they got something, they didn’t fully bring it back to share but ate their fill outside first, then brought back the leftovers.]

[Just look at what happened today at noon. Although Ling Bo, Yuan Wei, and Lin Qi caught fish in the stream, the three of them tacitly started a fire and buried the fish under the hot coals with wild mugwort leaves to roast and share among themselves.]

Mu Mingxuan’s face was somber. These days, everyone had been cautious around him because of his status as the Young Master Mu. The team, implicitly, had looked to him as the leader, and Mu Mingxuan knew this. So, in front of everyone, he always carried a bit of pride and arrogance.

Now, these actors whom he normally looked down upon not only accused him of being a thief but also, without his consent, had dispersed the team.

For Mu Mingxuan, the actions of Ling Bo and the others were a direct challenge to his leadership.

Mu Mingxuan’s gaze was icy cold, yet he sensibly chose not to speak.

When the guests were wary of his status, his title as Young Master Mu was very useful. But when everyone didn’t care, his title had no deterrent power.

Suddenly realizing this, Jian Tiantian gritted her teeth and said, "My bag was just stolen by a monkey, Huo Miao, you have to compensate me!"

Huo Miao immediately refused, "Why should I compensate you? It was the monkey that took your things, not me."

"If you hadn’t attacked that monkey with a rock, none of this would have happened!" Jian Tiantian said indignantly.

Huo Miao was somewhat at a loss, but the idea of giving up her things under these circumstances was even harder than death for her, "I also have nothing. You know there’s hardly anything in my bag."

"Huo Miao, I’ve never seen anyone as selfish and self-serving as you! You never help with what needs to be done, yet you always get the most food," Jian Tiantian was exasperated, "If we die here, it will all be your fault!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Mingxuan cast a cold glance over, his eyes containing a warning.

But Jian Tiantian was unafraid, her face full of mockery, "You’re so protective of her, do you know she sneaks off alone every night to stealthily eat?"

[Wow!! Keep it going! I love seeing these kinds of fights!]

[Bring it on! Let the storm come even harder!]
