After two consecutive tries to run Qi, Fang Qiu began to doubt if he failed to control his strength properly.
However, that couldn’t be right, for he was a guru after all.
Wasn’t it a simple matter of controlling his strength properly for him?
He still needed to be cautious. Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Qiu walked to the coconut tree and patted it gently as if patting a watermelon.
Everyone immediately looked up, only to find that no coconut had fallen off.
Fang Qiu immediately laughed out loud and said, “Haha. I’ve told you that it was a coincidence, wasn’t it?”
“Pa, pa, pa…” But as soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four or five coconuts on the tree all fell with a whoosh.
Witnessing the coconuts falling like a heavy shower, Fang Qiu was completely stupefied. He stood straight under the tree, his eyes bulging, for he found it hard to believe what he had seen.
“Haha.” People around couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Everyone covered their stomachs, pointed at the coconuts all over the ground, and laughed heartily.
“Fang Qiu.” After laughing for a while, Liu Qingshi held back his laughter and walked to Fang Qiu. He threw his arm around Fang Qiu’s shoulder and said, “Master, now you can’t pretend it, can you?”
“You deserve to be the master of Qigong in Huaxia. You made all the coconuts fall with such a light pat. Awesome!”
The other members also came over one after another.
They stared at Fang Qiu in a state of shock.
“You’re amazing!”
Gu Jianguo gave Fang Qiu a thumbs-up.
“Master Fang, you’re awesome.” Ying’er acted like a fangirl, gazing at Fang Qiu with her bright eyes.
“Master, please take me as your disciple,” Zheng Weilian shouted at Fang Qiu with cupped fists, looking rather like a reckless man.
“Master, I’m here to pay my respect!” Without saying anything else, Zhang Junhe directly knelt down on the ground.
“Please don’t,” Fang Qiu quickly reached out to hold him while saying to everyone, “it’s really a coincidence. What do you want me to say so that you can believe me?”
No sooner had he finished his words than everyone turned their heads in unison and didn’t listen to Fang Qiu at all.
“Master Fang is too powerful. We don’t have anything to be afraid of now.”
Liu Qingshi said to the others, “For the next three days and two nights on this uninhabited island, we can all rely on Master Fang. With Master Fang here, we don’t need to be afraid even if we meet a beast.”
“Since we are on this uninhabited island, the island belongs to us now. Master Fang sounds a bit like a fortune teller. Why don’t we call him Mentor Fang?”
Huang Huachao turned to Liu Qing Shi and said, “How is it, Island Owner Liu?”
The moment he said that, everyone immediately began to call each other by nicknames.
Having teased for a while, Liu Qingshi waved his hand and claimed. “Okay. Since I am the island owner, I will be responsible for my people. Although we don’t have food, water, or a bed, we have Mentor Fang. As long as Mentor Fang makes a move, we can also fight wild beasts. With Mentor Fang Qiu, we are not afraid of anything!”
Seeing that everyone was having fun, Fang Qiu had no choice but to rush up and say, “No. It’s not real. You have to believe me. Can you please trust me?”
However, everyone dispersed in an instant, and no one paid any attention to him.
They picked up coconuts from the ground and went to smash them.
Even Song Yaqi was pulled away by Ying’er.
Only Fang Qiu was left under the tree.
Looking at the people who scattered, he was overcome with frustration.
It was true that he simply exerted a bit of ordinary strength just now.
This coconut tree was definitely messing with him!
Soon, everyone came up with many ideas. At last, they managed to smash the coconuts, drank the juice, and eat the flesh. Only then did they recover some energy after being worn out.
Under the lead of Liu Qingshi, everyone gathered together to discuss the situation.
“According to the current situation, it’s certain that we have to live in this uninhabited island for three days and two nights. Since we want to survive, we must make correct arrangements so that we can live well during this period,” Liu Qingshi added, “To survive, the first thing we need is food, the second one is water, and the last is the place to stay. I’ll divide now.”
After all, he was the main MC.
In private, Liu Qingshi was regarded as everyone’s big brother. Undoubtedly, what he said weighed the most. Also, everyone was willing to listen to him naturally.
“The first group: Zheng Weilian, Gu Jianguo, and Zhang Junhe.”
Liu Qingshi pointed at the three of them and said, “You guys can be called Comedian Trio. You are responsible for getting familiar with the terrain of the island and looking for what can be eaten on the island. You can also search for some branches and leaves. It’ll be the best to choose the most suitable spot to put up a place for us to spend the night.”
“The second group: Huang Huachao and Ying’er. You two need to find us water. Because we’ll only live here in a short period, water is much more important than food.”
“The people of the last group will be me, Fang Qiu, and Song Yaqi.”
Speaking of which, Liu Qingshi smirked and said, “The three of us will be hunting for food. Look at the sky. In another two or three hours, it will darken. Guys, we have to move quickly. Try to settle our food, drink, and shelter before it is dark.”
Hearing that, everyone nodded at once.
Beside him, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but secretly pay Liu Qingshi a compliment after hearing his arrangement.
He must admit that Liu Qingshi, as the main MC, did have great EQ, for he was fully aware of how to lead the show going.
Since he learned that they would live on the uninhabited island for three days and two nights, the first thing Liu Qingshi did was to guide everyone to get rid of the negative emotions so that the show could continue. Then he used Fang Qiu as a laughing stock to make them completely forget their dissatisfaction. Then, not until it was almost dark did he begin to arrange the work. In this way, due to the lack of time, the audience would have a sense of urgency and thus become more interested in the show when it was broadcast.
Apart from this, Liu Qingshi also made Huang Huachao and Ying’er in one team. They were the youngest and most energetic ones among the six members, who were also considered a TV couple. Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi, two prominent figures, also teamed up with him. In this way, there would be two pairs of TV couples. Because he was the main MC, Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi must have the most shots. It would be easier for them to create highlights when they were together with him. Thus, more material could be used in the show.
After the division, everyone began to move separately.
“Let’s look around first and see if we can find any tools. Maybe we can find some crabs,” Liu Qingshi said.
Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi nodded in unison.
But after looking around for a while, Fang Qiu and Liu Qing Shi didn’t find anything except for dead branches.
Song Yaqi, however, walked over with a lump of stuff.
“I found some ropes.” Stopping in front of them, Song Yaqi raised her hand, where laid a lump of messy and thin ropes which seemed to be used to make up a net.
“This will do,” Liu Qingshi hurriedly praised her and said, “This rope is of great use. If we want to set up a place to live at night, this rope can help us fix the branch.”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything to eat.” Song Yaqi gave a wry smile. Then she walked to the beach and said, “I’ll go and see if I can pick up some seafood.”
“Alas!” Liu Qingshi shook his head and sighed bitterly. “If we didn’t eat anything, we wouldn’t have the strength to work. We only ate coconuts just now. But it was as if we hadn’t eaten anything. It was a pity that we didn’t have any tools while facing such a vast and boundless sea. It would be great if we could go fishing. A tuna fish can definitely fill our stomachs!”
“Ah…” As soon as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly sounded.
The two of them turned their heads to have a look.
Song Yaqi, who was walking by the sea, was covering her mouth in amazement.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Qiu and Liu Qingshi dashed over.
“No, I’m fine,” Song Yaqi said while pointing at her feet awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I was startled when I suddenly saw a dead fish.”
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
“Well, I got it.” As Fang Qiu glanced at the dead fish that was pushed to the beach by the waves in front of Song Yaqi, his eyes rolled.
“What?” Song Yaqi was curious.
“Tell me clearly. What are you thinking?” Liu Qingshi asked in confusion.
“We can go fishing!” said Fang Qiu with a smile.
“Fishing?” Song Yaqi was stunned and said, “We don’t have any tools. How can we fish?”
“Yeah, where’s the fishing rod?” Liu Qingshi also questioned.
“Since we don’t have it, we can make it by ourselves.” Fang Qiu immediately squatted down with a mysterious smile, grabbed the dead fish, ran to one side, found a sharp-angled stone, and began to sharpen it.
Liu Qingshi and Song Yaqi followed closely behind.
Fang Qiu sliced the fish with the stone and found a short but extremely sharp fishbone in the body.
Getting the fishbone, Fang Qiu said to Song Yaqi, “Give me the thread you just found.”
Song Yaqi handed the thread to Fang Qiu with a curious look, eager to see how Fang Qiu would make the fishing rod.
After Fang Qiu got the thread, he immediately got up, walked to the beach, and looked around.
He then found a branch.
He tore off a layer of thick and sturdy bark, put the fishbones together with the bark, wrapped them with ropes, and then wound the rope in the middle of them. The bark and fishbones, tightly wrapped together, were quickly separated and turned into a hook. It looked like a tool for a child’s game, which didn’t seem serious at all.
“Done.” After tying it up, Fang Qiu took the dead branch that Liu Qingshi had found before and tied it with the rope. In this way, a simple fishing rod was formed.
“This… can be used to fish?” Song Yaqi asked hesitantly.
“That’s all we can do now,” Fang Qiu said while shrugging his shoulders, “We can only make every possible effort.”
“Even if your fishing rod works, what about the bait?” Liu Qingshi asked.
“Find a bait then,” Fang Qiu replied casually, “What’s the ecological environment in the sea?”
“What?” Song Yaqi and Liu Qing Shi were stunned at the same time.
“Big fish eats small fish while small fish eats small shrimp.” Fang Qiu grinned and said, “Because the waves on the beach are big and the water flows fast, most of the fish in the sea can’t see whether it is a living fish or a bait, so as long as we catch a small fish, we will have a chance to catch the big fish!”
After that, Fang Qiu caught a finger-sized fish in a rock area with sufficient water.
