Chapter 892 - 891: Get Down, This Tricycle Is Ours

Holding onto the inflatable boat, they landed on this half of the island. The uncle waved his hand and returned the way he came.

The three soaked people held a fish, standing on the beach, still dazed.

There was still a GoPro on the helmet. Mu Qiu removed the hat and shook off the water. The photographers waiting on this side of the beach had already gathered around.

"Where should we go? Where to? What about the luggage?" Guan Yu asked while holding the fish.

Shu Ran used the face towel handed over by the staff to absorb the water on her face and body, pointing to the only road: "Are you blind? There’s only one road here."

Guan Yu: "Sorry, my brain got soaked. Quick, quick, quick, let’s go, it’ll be bad if the fish dies."

Following the clearly visible entrance all the way up, trees and artificially transplanted bamboo line the route, keeping the beach and the heat outside.

The layers of leaves are like filters, filtering out the muggy and dampness, leaving only freshness and the unavoidable last bit of heat.

On the smooth and clean road, there’s a fork. The ’Different Variety Show’ sign points to the right. At the intersection, several staff members stood, with their suitcases placed nearby.

Guan Yu used her hand to rake through her messy hair, glaring accusingly at the crew.

"Why are you guys so stingy? The bridge method should directly lead to the villa, right? You even specially transported the luggage down. Couldn’t you deliver it all the way?"

Mu Qiu: "I’ve checked. The villas are halfway up the mountain, this is the foot of the mountain; to go up there must be a section that’s uphill."

Shu Ran: "So, do we have to drag the suitcases up?"

The staff remained silent, pretending to be deaf.

"Hello to the three guests, you are the first to arrive here. Congratulations. Your suitcases are here. Just follow the signs from the crew to reach our filming location. The villa has prepared abundant food and various play areas for you, feel free to eat, drink, and have fun."

Shu Ran didn’t listen, walked closer, and asked: "Where’s the car? Is there a car?"

"Of course not."

Guan Yu: "How could there be? They ’worked so hard’ to transport the suitcases down for us to drag up, how could they possibly provide a car for you. Let’s go, think of solutions while walking."

Pushing their respective suitcases, along with a fish, they moved in the direction of the signs. After walking a stretch of flat road, they turned a corner, where a long uphill road appeared in front of them.

Standing side by side, Guan Yu’s fish in her hand was still flapping around in the bag.

Shu Ran with a blank face: "How do we walk this?"

Mu Qiu: "Why is this so long?!"

Guan Yu: "Oh no, my fish will be suffocated to death halfway."

But what can be done? They still have to pinch their noses and proceed uphill.

All three had large suitcases, dragging them uphill with their slender arms, and after just a few minutes, they stopped to catch their breath.

"There’s still a long way to go, it feels like we’ll never reach it."

"I’m so tired, they made us bring so much stuff, and they let us drag it up ourselves, the crew is too mean."

"No way, we can’t just resign ourselves to dragging it up, think of another way."

Standing in place, thinking and thinking, but failing to come up with a good solution. At this juncture, the familiar sound of thumping could be heard from behind.

The crew’s staff drove their tricycles and turned past the bend they just went by, facing the three people lined up on the slope.

The luggage and the people spread out in a line, occupying half the road.

Guan Yu: "Brother, what are you dragging?"

Shu Ran: "Hand over the vehicle."

Mu Qiu: "Either offer us a ride, or we’ll snatch your vehicle."

The staff: "...... This is for dragging equipment up, the director is waiting for it."

They didn’t care.

Three people pushed their suitcases to seize the vehicle, Mu Qiu peered into the truck at the stuff inside, while Guan Yu and Shu Ran dragged the driver down.

"Get down, this vehicle is ours now!"

Driver: "......"

Mu Qiu glanced back excitedly: "It’s just sound systems and blow dryers! There’s still lots of space left, we can climb up!"

Guan Yu clapped her hands: "You guys drag the suitcases up, I’ll drive! I’ve practiced the tricycle after that Willow Leaf City episode. It’s like fate!"

Three minutes later, the staff were forced to help load their luggage onto the tricycle, then were mercilessly left behind.

Mu Qiu and Shu Ran sat in the truck bed, waving to those two: "Thanks for the tricycle, goodbye!"

That uphill road, seemingly endless before, was quickly traversed with the help of the tricycle. The road being smooth, driving didn’t jolt them much, but it’s a little tricycle, it’s inevitably less stable. Sitting in the rear truck bed, their butts were almost numb from shaking.

Mu Qiu couldn’t help but switch positions, crouching over the luggage and holding onto the railings.

The road stretched longer and longer before them. She looked back to ask Guan Yu: "Sister Guan Yu, can you see the villa? How much farther?!"

Guan Yu drove the tricycle cheerfully: "Soon, soon!"

Another turn and then not such a steep uphill, the villa was in sight.

Guan Yu glanced only once, surprised at the villa rental cost this time by the crew, and then obediently focused on the road.

Entering the villa requires passing through a unique central garden-like gate, with an organ pipe fountain in the middle, very techy. There’s a pebble path on both sides, leading further inside to the villa’s private driveway, where it has a designated parking space.

Guan Yu didn’t think much, smoothly drove over, just as Mu Qiu and Shu Ran were trying to change positions from their numb crouch, the wheel rolling over the pebble path jolted them pretty hard.

This is what’s called a tricycle; the bouncing caused Mu Qiu to lose her balance, falling sideways, trying to hold onto the suitcase, which then slid to the rear of the truck, and when reaching to grab it back, the bag in her hand burst open, spilling water all over, and the fish came out, desperately flapping its tail on the truck bed.

How coincidental that the splash from the fish’s tail landed right on Shu Ran, and as it flapped, it wedged itself next to her leg.

Shu Ran screamed in shock: "...... Quickly get it off!!! Ew! It splashed on my face!"

Mu Qiu was equally shocked, hurriedly lunging to grab the fish.

Guan Yu was still up front asking: "What’s happening? What are you doing?"

"The fish! The fish got out!"

"The suitcase! Sister Ran, help grab it!"

"Geez, isn’t this fish growing legs?! Why does it flap about?!"

Guan Yu: "What?! My fish!"

The car drove onto the private road, Guan Yu hit the brakes to stop, and climbed up into the truck herself to help catch the fish.

"I thought it would be suffocated! Wow, judging by its tail strength, it’s clearly still energetic!"

"Catch it! Shu Ran, grab it! Screaming doesn’t help!"

"My clothes!"

"I’m definitely eating it for lunch today!"

"If it had this much escape energy on the inflatable boat, it would’ve been back in the sea by now, flopping on dry land like this?"
