TISHW 76




 Chapter 76 The Secret of the Treasure 2

Jiang Yu and the four of them looked up upstairs. Seeing that Shu Hua and Jian Cang had not moved yet, Jiang Yu went to the bathroom on the first floor to briefly wash up and rinse her mouth first.

Xiang Chen grinned, "Anyway, the last three get zero points. It seems they are going to sleep without a care."

Ye Yuanyu said confidently, "Do you think the director will allow it?"

Of course it wasn’t allowed. As soon as he finished speaking, the director turned on the speaker again and hollered upstairs, "There is one minute until the assembly time ends. Points will be deducted for those who fail to arrive after the assembly time. 1 point will be deducted for being late for 1 minute, 2 points will be deducted for being late for 2 minutes, and so on, until all deductions are made..."

Before he could finish his words, there was movement from upstairs. The sound of clanging and banging sounded like the chaos of war.

Xiang Chen and the others couldn't help but chuckle. The audience also laughed:

【Hahaha, the director understands them. Since rewarding points doesn’t work, points will be deducted. There is always a way to control them. 】

【Although they aren’t as swift as Jiang Yu, Jian Cang and Shu Hua are very good at getting up. 】

【Haha, Jian Darling’s hair, is it going to be like a rooster crowing? 】

When Jiang Yu came out of the bathroom, she saw a swaggering man with an afro rushing down the stairs and running into the yard. Shu Hua followed closely behind him with a sleepy look on her face.

When they walked into the yard, Zhou Feifei, who had already put on light makeup, made the two look even more miserable by standing side by side with them.

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were already laughing.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and silently handed the wet tissue to the two of them. She took out a small comb and handed it to Jian Cang.

Qin Shiyu and the others looked at her in surprise. Xiang Chen asked, "Why is there a comb?"

【I saw it. She took it out of the wet tissue bag. It should had been packed last night so that she can grab it and go when she got up today. 】

【LOL, my Elder Sister Yu is very strategic in everything she does. She not only prepares wet wipes, but also a small comb. 】

Shu Hua and the others didn't know the cause and effect. After accepting the tissue, Shu Hua was moved, "Bigshot, you even expected this? Simply amazing?"

Jian Cang took the small comb and hurriedly arranged his fried hair, nodding in agreement, "As expected of my Elder Sister Yu. Not only is she knowledgeable about things, she is considerate."

Qin Shiyu, Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

Compared to their reservedness, the audience were much more unrestrained:

【Hahaha, it’s not that she has foresight like a god. She speaks from experience. 】

【Yes, she is a little more prepared than you. 】

Jiang Yu looked expressionlessly at the three people who were laughing non-stop. Qin Shiyu glanced at her and turned his back to continue laughing. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were following the same example. From their shaking shoulders, they seemed to be laughing more happily.

Jiang Yu nudged Shu Hua, "Ye Yuanyu took the lead in laughing at you."

When Ye Yuanyu heard this, he turned around and stared at Jiang Yu in shock. Shu Hua stood in front of Jiang Yu and glared back, "Why are you laughing? Have you never seen a beautiful woman wiping her face?"

As she said that, she wiped her face hard with the wet tissue and said provocatively, "What's so hilarious about this?! Laugh enough then."

Ye Yuanyu, who originally wanted to explain, burst out laughing. Qin Shiyu and Xiang Chen, who had turned back to watch the drama, couldn't resist roaring with laughter.

【Haha, how can we forget our Huahua? 】

【She is our top comedy man. 】

After all the laughter, everyone was completely awake. The director informed them that Auntie Zhang was already waiting for them in the field. The seven of them set off at once.

Walking on the tree-lined asphalt path, Jian Cang took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems rare to breathe fresh air so early after graduating from high school."

Xiang Chen smiled in a pleasant mood, "The scenery is beautiful."

Indeed, compared to the hustle and bustle during the day, there were only a few occasional insects chirping in the summer morning. Bathing in the cool breeze and admiring the green trees and fields outlined by the morning light made people feel refreshed.

Qin Shiyu lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yu's contented expression. Then he looked up at the scenery in front of him. He seemed to be able to feel a little bit of the beauty.

Shortly later, they arrived at Auntie Zhang's vegetable field. There were several lush, green, and neat vegetable fields. An auntie in her fifties stood beside it.

"You are finally here. I leave at half past six. Quickly, help me pick vegetables." She then looked at their empty hands and asked, "Don't you have any tools?"

The group were stunned. The director team next to them silently put a small basket on the ground, which contained scissors, knives, gloves and other tools.

The group:……

Ye Yuanyu said, "Don't tell us we have to use points to buy it."

The director said, "You can not buy it."

Out of stubbornness, Zhou Feifei snorted, "We can pick it with our bare hands!"

【Zhou Feifei is a bit like a All Rounder person, rebellious! Haha. 】

Others ignored it for the time being. Auntie Zhang handed Qin Shiyu a task card, "We sell vegetables every day. In order to ensure the freshness of the vegetables, we need to pick them and sell them out on the same day. So there are requirements for the quantity of vegetables picked. You guys pick it according to this."

Qin Shiyu opened the task card, "4 jins of peppers, 12 jins of eggplants, tomatoes... no more?" He turned to look at Auntie Zhang.

Auntie Zhang took a look, "Oh, my naughty grandson must have smeared ink on it. What to do? My brain isn’t very good. I can't remember how many tomatoes to pick."

"But my eldest grandson said there are patterns to the numbers. I heard that you are all top students, so you should be able to deduce them."

After saying this, she grinned, "Auntie likes smart children best. The first one who helps me figure it out, I will give that person a mysterious gift related to the treasure of the treasure island."

After a pause, she added, "En, There is only one gift, so it can only be given to one person.”

【Hahaha, the director team is afraid that another occurrence of them tie for first place. 】

【The director team of "All Rounder" is growing under the rebellion of the investigators. 】

"Isn't this my Elder Sister Yu and God Yu’s specialty?" Jian Cang called out and turned his head around. As expected, he saw that Jiang Yu had already moved next to Qin Shiyu to look at the task card.

Qin Shiyu looked down at Jiang Yu's furry head, moved the task card in front of her, and continued, "Unknown amount of tomatoes, 28 jins of cucumbers. Unknown amount of beans."

Zhou Feifei was already squatting on the ground and starting to calculate. Others thought this question wasn't difficult and wanted to give it a try.

Jian Cang rolled his eyes, walked to the tools and asked the director, "How much does it cost?"

"1 point for one."

Jian Cang was stunned, "So cheap?"

The director smiled, "En."

Jian Cang continued to ask, "If I buy it, will there be more?"

The director shook his head, "Just one of each."

While Jian Cang was pondering, Jiang Yu raised her hand, "Tomatoes are 20 jins and beans are 36 jins!"

Jian Cang immediately said, "I want them all!"

At this side, the group were staring at the question and didn’t notice his little movements.

Xiang Chen tilted his head, "I always think it's not difficult, but still a little off."

Zhou Feifei raised her hands, "I know! These numbers are all multiples of 4. After dividing by 4, they are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. So they are 4, 12, 20, 28, and 36 jins!”

Auntie Zhang nodded, "Yes, yes, that's what my eldest grandson said. They add up to exactly one hundred kilograms, which is one load."

After speaking, she took out an ancient book and handed it to Jiang Yu, "Here, for you. This is a family heirloom left by my great-grandfather. He said that can use this to find the treasures on the island."

The group simultaneously gathered around. Jiang Yu cautiously put the book behind her back. She remembered that this episode was a personal battle.

Carrying a basket, Jian Cang came over with a grin, "Elder Sister Yu, are you going to pick vegetables now?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw the tool in his hand. Shu Hua said, "Are you that rich? It can’t be that you spent all your points?"

Jian Cang didn't answer, looked at Jiang Yu, "Elder Sister Yu, do you want to cooperate? I'll help you pick vegetables and you can share clues with me. One is enough."

Then he said to the others, "2 points for a tool. If you need it, come .”

Compared with the lion's mouth in the previous episode, Jian Cang's statement sounded quite reasonable. Everyone couldn't believe it, "2 points?"

Shu Hua quickly ran to the director to ask and came back, "You are so black! Just a change of hands, the price is doubled!"

Ye Yuanyu was confused, "The director team only sold it for 1 point? I have a feeling like there is some conspiracy."

Jian Cang smiled brightly, "Anyway, the director team has no tools. Ddo you want to pick them with your bare hands?"

Next to him, Auntie Zhang said, "It's very difficult to pick with bare hands. Cucumbers has thorns. Eggplants and tomatoes must be cut with scissors, otherwise it's easy to damage the plants. It's very painful to pick beans by hand."

Ye Yuanyu contemplated and said to Jiang Yu, "We will all help you pick vegetables and you can share the same clues with us as Jian Cang. Anyway, he can't pick that many vegetables by himself."

Jian Cang's eyes widened, "Who said I can't pick it? With these tools, it's not a problem for me to pick 100 jins by myself. Elder Sister Yu, give me the clue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Auntie Zhang reminded from the side, "I will leave for the vegetable market in 20 minutes. Please pay attention to the time. If the time is up, I will take back all the clues related to the treasure!"

Jian Cang:......

Everyone burst into laughter. Zhou Feifei said, "It seems that the program team remembers that our theme this time is team building. Everyone must unite as one."

【En, remember, a team fighting group. 】

【But is forced to cooperate. 】

【So they are always united in fighting among themselves, hahaha. 】

Time was indeed pressing. In the end, everyone had a quick discussion. The six of them were responsible for picking vegetables, Jian Cang sold them the tools for 1.5 points, and Jiang Yu lent the book to each of them for 10 minutes.

After determining the plan, everyone immediately took action:

Shu Hua went to pick peppers, Zhou Feifei went to pick eggplants, Jian Cang went to pick cucumbers, Ye Yuanyu went to pick tomatoes. Qin Shiyu and Xiang Chen went to pick the largest quantity, beans.

Jiang Yu was sitting leisurely on the edge of the field, picking a small flower and studying the book while playing with it.

It was a very strange mixture of history and poetry. Having no clue for a moment, she looked up at the busy people, curved her eyes, and smiled happily:

【Haha, she is so comfortable. 】

【Sure enough, happiness comes from contrast. She is truly blissed. 】

The audience was enjoying themselves with Jiang Yu when they suddenly heard Shu Hua shouting, "What is this?"

She straightened up, holding a small plastic bag half the size of a palm in her hand, which seemed to contain a puzzle, "It was hanging on the branch of the chili pepper.”

Over at that side, Jian Cang was stunned for a moment after seeing it, "Huh? I saw it too?!" After saying that, he went back to look for it.

Auntie Zhang, who was standing next to the vegetable patch, clapped her hands, "Oh, my great-grandfather has always said that there are clues related to the secrets of the island's treasure buried in our land. I didn't expect it to be true?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Auntie Zhang continued, "Then you look for it carefully. There is more than one of these things."

But she reminded, "Oh, by the way, remember to finish picking the vegetables, otherwise you won't be able to take away these clues."

Jian Cang found the puzzle piece and said enthusiastically, "Okay! I promise to complete the task!"

At this side, the audience took in Jiang Yu’s stiff figure and burst into laughter:

【Jiang Yu: Oops, I suddenly don’t feel that comfortable. 】

【Hahaha, like I said, the question was too simple and the tools were so cheap. I bet the director was trying to trick Jiang Yu! 】

【Now that is said, it’s true. According to her usual habit, she will definitely be the first to answer the question and will most likely not move her hands herself. 】

【Now it’s great. It looked like she had an advantage, but actually she had made a big loss. 】

【What is this called? Being clever end up being misled by cleverness? 】

【The director's counter-attack, hahahaha. 】

The audience all caught on. Of course, the few people at the scene figured it out.

Ye Yuanyu emerged from the bean field and asked deliberately, "Whoever finds this puzzle belongs to whom?"

Jiang Yu’s mouth corner straightened.

Qin Shiyu reached out and took off a plastic bag. He drawled out with a smile, "These 1.5 points are well spent."

The corners of Jiang Yu's eyes straightened.

Jian Cang laughed loudly, "What a profit."

Jiang Yu stood up expressionlessly and walked toward the vegetable patch pretending to be natural.

Xiang Chen grinned, "We will finish picking it soon, sit back, and enjoy."

Jiang Yu:……
