Chapter 303: Reaping the Gains
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The most comical person was Zhao Meng.
She searched the mountain for a long time while either complaining that there were too many mosquitoes or complaining that the road was difficult to walk on. Moreover, she couldn’t find anything she was satisfied with.
Before dark, she found Mo Rao’s camp.
Mo Rao had already set up the tent alone. There was also a large backpack in the bag. There were five bottles of water, two boxes of compressed biscuits, a box of matches, a flashlight, a knife, a palm-sized pot, and some seasonings.
She gathered some dried branches and leaves, then used a match to start a fire. She used the very small pot to boil water and scalded the rabbit several times before skinning it.
Then, she used a small knife to cut open the rabbit’s stomach and began to clean its internal organs.
The clear stream was dyed red with blood. Mo Rao suddenly heard a scream. She looked up and saw Zhao Meng standing not far away with a fearful look. “Mo Rao, what are you doing? Why is there so much blood?”
“I’m skinning the rabbit,” Mo Rao replied calmly. “I just disemboweled it.”
With that, she quickly threw away some inedible internal organs.
“Why are you so cruel? Rabbits are so cute…” Zhao Meng walked to Mo Rao’s side and looked at the rabbit with sympathy.
“I caught it to eat it.” Mo Rao couldn’t be bothered with Zhao Meng. “You should worry about yourself.”
Zhao Meng’s expression looked awkward. She glanced at the tent that had already been set up and envy flashed across her eyes. Then, her eyes darted around and she squatted down to get close to Mo Rao.
“Mo Rao, you’re so lucky to have found the tent. Did someone give you a hint?” Zhao Meng asked.
“No, I accidentally found it when I was catching the rabbit.” Mo Rao sounded lukewarm.
“Oh, I haven’t found a suitable place yet. I feel that the mountain is too dirty. It’s almost dark. What should I do at night? I’m so afraid!” As Zhao Meng spoke, she shot Mo Rao a look, hoping that Mo Rao would take her in so that she could stay in a tent and have rabbit meat to eat.
Of course, Mo Rao knew what Zhao Meng meant, but she didn’t intend to take Zhao Meng in.
The tent was a single tent that could only accommodate one person. It would be very cramped if there was another person.
Moreover, she had to roast the rabbit meat and it would be her food for the next few days. She didn’t plan to eat it all, but if she took in Zhao Meng, they would definitely be able to finish it.
Mo Rao didn’t want to be that selfless.
“I don’t know about that. Zhao Meng, I’m going to make dinner. Hurry up and find a suitable place.” Mo Rao placed the rabbit on a rock, then found a branch and began to sharpen it. Finally, she inserted the rabbit and began to roast it on the fire.
Mo Rao used a small knife to cut the surface of the rabbit and sprinkled some seasoning. Soon, an alluring aroma wafted away. Zhao Meng, who had not eaten for a day, felt her stomach growl.
“Mo Rao, you roasted it really nicely. It looks delicious.” Zhao Meng refused to leave. If she had to build her own residence, she would rather shamelessly freeload for the night.
Mo Rao nodded. “Yes, I think it looks delicious too. It can last me two days.”
“Two days?” Zhao Meng was stunned. Was she not planning to share some with her?
“Yes, I’ll only eat one leg. I’ll eat the rest tomorrow.” Mo Rao saw that the rabbit meat was almost roasted and took it off. When it cooled off a little, she tore off a leg.
She ate heartily. It was really delicious.
Zhao Meng looked at the remaining rabbit meat and reached out to take it. Mo Rao stopped her. “Zhao Meng, this is a wilderness survival program. You have to follow the rules and find food yourself.”
“I know, but I’m very hungry. Can’t I just eat a little?” Zhao Meng used her usual trick. “Please.”
This tactic was very useful to men, but Mo Rao didn’t fall for it. She wrapped the remaining rabbit meat in some clean plant leaves and placed it in her backpack. “No, I don’t want to starve to death tomorrow.”
“Why are you so petty and heartless? Will you die if you give me a bite?” Zhao Meng questioned angrily.
Mo Rao didn’t answer, but the comment section went crazy.
“Why is she so thick-skinned? I knew that someone like her isn’t suitable to participate in this show. She’s here to be treated like a princess.”
“It’s so difficult to survive in the wilderness. Who would share their hard-won food with others?”
“Mo Rao is so heartless. Actually, it doesn’t matter if she gives her a little, right?”
“Zhao Meng’s fans, you guys shouldn’t be too defensive. This is a matter of moral character. She just wants to reap the benefits without contributing!”
