Chapter 188: Chapter 139: Jiang Ning is the Desolate Island Judge (Two in One)_2

Jiang Ning turned off the chainsaw and was about to take a break when she saw Qi Xingzhou, who had been standing by her side and watching intently, step forward, take the chainsaw from Jiang Ning’s hands, and say earnestly, "I’ll help Ning Ning."

Jiang Ning looked at him, "Do you know how to use it?"

It was no wonder Jiang Ning was skeptical; Qi Xingzhou’s identity didn’t seem like one who would be familiar with using a chainsaw.

Qi Xingzhou nodded without hesitation.

He glanced at the cedar tree Jiang Ning had just sawed down, walked over to another cedar next to it, and then looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded, "Mm-hmm, that’s right. Just be careful not to hurt your hand."

Jiang Ning’s concern made Qi Xingzhou’s eyes light up, and he couldn’t help but let his lips curve up slightly.

Qi Xingzhou worked hard, sawing down a cedar tree at almost the same speed as Jiang Ning. When he wanted to cut down a second one, Jiang Ning quickly stepped forward, took the chainsaw from him, sent him to the side to rest, and took over herself.

The two of them took turns like this, with each sawing down a tree.

[Oh my god! They’re starting to fight in the next broadcasting room! Why are these two still sawing wood?]

[Huh? What’s going on?]

[Quick, go check out the drama in the next broadcasting room! Yuan Wei and Mu Mingxuan have reached a new low in shamelessness!]

[I’m dizzy! I knew they couldn’t stay out of trouble!]

...

The sun was blazing, and the heat of its rays felt scorching. Jiang Ning looked at the pile of fallen cedar trees in front of her and felt that the progress was faster than she had expected.

"Let’s go, let’s go back. It’s almost time for lunch," Jiang Ning said to Qi Xingzhou.

They would go back for lunch and then get a good sleep, waiting for the sun to become less intense before returning.

If she came back in the afternoon, she would need to bring an ax to remove all the excess branches.

[Finally finished sawing...]

[Jiang Ning really is good at manual labor, feels like she can do anything, and does tasks swiftly, can endure hardship.]

[Indeed, this chainsaw looks simple to use, but it actually takes a lot of effort and strength. I tried it once when I went to chop wood with my dad on the mountain, and before I even cut down one tree, my hands were done for...]

[Hurry, hurry, I can’t wait to see Jiang Ning’s face-slapping moment when she gets back!]

[Hahaha, yes, please give a beating to Mu Mingxuan and the others! This Desolate Island Judge still needs to see Jiang Ning!]

[Hmm, although Jiang Ning is strong and agile, Mu Mingxuan and the others are all grown men; Jiang Ning facing multiple at once... might be somewhat difficult, right?]

[Pfft, →_→ those weaklings who couldn’t even catch a rabbit, what kind of men are they]

[Exactly, what kind of men are they!]

...

The barrage of comments flew by as Jiang Ning, for the moment, had no idea what she was about to face when she returned. She slowly walked back with Qi Xingzhou.

As they passed a hill, Jiang Ning exclaimed in surprise, and looking down at the plants beside her, she used her fingers to tease up one of the vines. If she wasn’t mistaken, was this actually wild yam?

Hmm, after getting back, she would look for some agricultural tools in the attic that could help dig it up; taking these wild yams back as staple food wouldn’t be a bad idea.

The two emerged from the forest, and without the shelter of towering trees, their figures gradually appeared under the sunlight.

Jian Tiantian was sitting outside the attic, hugging her knees and crying. When she saw Jiang Ning’s figure, she brightened up as if seeing a savior and hurriedly got up to run toward Jiang Ning.

"Jiang Ning, you’re finally back!"

Jian Tiantian ran up to Jiang Ning quickly, ignoring Qi Xingzhou beside her completely.

Seeing her red eyes, Jiang Ning spoke calmly, "What happened?"

"You have no idea, Mu Mingxuan and the others went too far!" Jian Tiantian clenched her fists, furious: "They hid all the food in the attic!"

Jiang Ning, expressionless, said, "... Tell me everything."

Jian Tiantian stood in front of Jiang Ning and recounted the whole incident.

The story was simple, going back two hours when Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were earnestly sawing trees in the forest while only a few other guests remained in the little attic.

After eating breakfast, Wang Ye, possibly struck by a sudden blow of reality, had stayed in his room without coming out.

Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun, after washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, had nothing to do, so they went back to their rooms to rest and catch up on sleep.

Huo Miao had never actually passed out; shortly after being carried back to her room by Mu Mingxuan, she "gracefully regained consciousness."

Ling Bo had taken a walk outside the attic and was also planning to go back to his room to rest. But as soon as he entered the attic, he witnessed Yuan Wei and Lin Qi sneaking around in the kitchen.
