The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 71 - 0: Snake Soup
Chapter 71 - 071: Snake Soup
On the road ahead, Mu Qiuniang wasn't idle. She picked this wild grass and that wildflower, stuffing them all into her backpack.
Jiang Nuo felt a bit helpless: There are wildflowers and weeds everywhere. Isn't the most important thing right now to keep moving?
It was already past noon, and everyone was exhausted and starving.
"Phew... so thirsty! I can't take it anymore..." Tao Xingni was being a drama queen the whole way.
The distance they could have covered was a third more, but she kept dragging them down to only a third. One moment she needed to rest, the next she was hungry or thirsty.
The wine was with Jiang He, and she had already eaten half a loaf of bread. Such a large piece of bread, of course, she'd be thirsty after eating half of it!
Tao Xingni looked pitifully at Jiang Nuo: "Prince Charming, I'm really so thirsty. Can you..."
Liu Yujiao, who was being held by her own husband, was speechless: How blind is this woman to not read the room? She knows she is not welcome, yet still cozies up.
Come on! He's a married man, and you're also married, aren't you?
And they're filming a show, too. You blatantly going over like this leaves them not knowing how to "act" through it.
So foolish, they don't even want to "help" her! That was the unified thought of Zhao He, Liu Yujiao, Zhuo Yihang, and Liu Qingqing.
And Jiang Nuo, having been pestered by this thick-skinned woman the whole way, really didn't want to bother with her, choosing to pretend he didn't hear her.
He even took out a thermos full of water and tenderly opened the lid: "Wife, are you thirsty? Want some water?"
Mu Qiuniang wanted to reach out for it, but he didn't give it to her, instead letting her drink from his hand.
An expressionless Mu Qiuniang suddenly had a blush on her face: "I can do it myself!"
"No way, you're my dear wife. It's my duty to take care of you." Jiang Nuo had a foolishly loving look on his face.
In the end, Mu Qiuniang had no choice but to drink from his hand.
She tried hard to maintain a "cold as ice" face, but her thin skin betrayed her shyness—blushing like the evening glow in the sky, stunningly beautiful.
Zhao He, Liu Yujiao, Zhuo Yihang, and Liu Qingqing, fed with PDA, found out: Actually, Jiang Nuo's wife is quite pretty!
The camera lens perfectly captured this scene.
Later, this scene was made into computer and phone screens, and Weibo/WeChat covers by a lot of fans, widely proclaiming: Who says our goddess isn't beautiful? She is just beautiful for her prince charming alone!
Even though they had eaten a lot this morning, with so much physical activity, it's just noon, and Jiang Nuo's stomach was already growling. Zhao He, quite pleased with himself, said, "Haha... So even a prince charming can be in such a sorry state? Want to beg me? Maybe I'll let you have a sip of soup if I feel full."
"Hmph! No thanks, I'll find my own food." Unless it was Mu Qiuniang, Jiang Nuo cared a lot about his male dignity, especially being taunted like this.
He said this and wanted to go look for food.
"I'll go with you," Mu Qiuniang said.
"No need, wifey, you've been climbing the mountain for quite some time; you must be tired, you should rest here. I'll find something to eat."
"Do you know what's edible?" She really wasn't trying to belittle him.
Jiang Nuo: "..." Could he say, no?
"I'll try my best to find some familiar fruits." Jiang Nuo didn't have much survival experience, aside from what he learned for acting, he knew basically nothing.
Mu Qiuniang didn't speak anymore, but that determined look made it impossible for him to argue, so he compromised: "Alright, we won't go too far, let's just find something simple to fill our stomachs and leave some time to rest."
"Okay!"
Hearing his wife's voice, Jiang Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the others and said, "I'm taking my wife to find some wild fruits. If you want to join us, you can. If not, just wait for us here; we won't go far and should be back soon..."
"We'll go with you!" Zhuo Yihang, Liu Qingqing stood up, after all, they didn't have much food either.
Tao Xingni really wanted to spend time with Jiang Nuo, but she was too tired and didn't want to move with more mountain climbing ahead.
Jealous Jiang He naturally wouldn't agree, he's not going to stick with someone who put a "green hat" on him. He shook his head.
"My wife is too tired, I want her to rest a bit more." Zhao He also refused him.
They still had plenty of food, enough to last until evening, so they saw no need to take the risk now.
Besides, they figured, this was just a sweet marriage-themed show, and even for the sake of the show, it couldn't be too extreme, so he was not at all worried about going hungry.
Jiang Nuo had no target, picking a direction at random to head forward.
Mu Qiuniang looked at the direction he chose, speechless: How "lucky" is he to have chosen the direction with the least amount of food?
In this direction, they'd have to walk at least half an hour to find something edible.
"Let's go this way." Mu Qiuniang directly walked in the other direction nearby.
"Hey, wifey, you're going the wrong way, it's this way." Jiang Nuo quickly called out to her.
Mu Qiuniang ignored him.
Jiang Nuo had no choice but to change his direction.
Zhuo Yihang and Liu Qingqing followed. In this wild wilderness, it's safer together.
And soon, they felt excited for their wise choice. Damn! What exactly does Jiang Nuo's wife do, how does she know everything?!
They saw Mu Qiuniang stopping by a tree full of wild fruits after walking a short distance. The red fruits were about the size of pigeon eggs and looked very tempting among the green leaves.
Jiang Nuo had never seen such fruit before, and when he saw his wife picking them, he got a fright: "Wifey, you can't eat those."
Mu Qiuniang secretly used a "Cleaning Technique" and directly stuffed one into his mouth.
It seemed quite tasty... Jiang Nuo bit into it, thinking a bit later than usual.
"Wife, can you really eat this?" It had a faint sweet taste, not much juice, but the fruit was tender and had a nice texture.
"It won't poison you." Mu Qiuniang picked a few and handed them to Zhuo Yihang and Liu Qingqing.
The couple, who also had no experience, saw Jiang Nuo eat it and thought she couldn't possibly harm her own husband, so they started eating without concern.
Feeling it tasted pretty good, and seeing there were plenty of wild fruits on the tree, they asked if they could get permission and happily started picking.
"It's my wife's finding. You can pick them, but if you find something edible in the future, you must share some with us..." Jiang Nuo felt that they got lucky this time because of his wife, and next time might not be so lucky.
Therefore, having "allies" was particularly important.
