An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

Several people wolfed down a few mouthfuls of roast suckling pig, waved goodbye to the aboriginal ensemble performers present, packed up and headed northwest.

After walking for a while, I noticed that the soil under my feet was getting softer and softer.

The rotting fallen leaves are mixed with the soil, and when you step on it, there is a sound of dry leaves cracking and shoes slightly sinking into the soft mud.

Xu Siyi walked in front, stepping into the fallen leaves, and the sound of chi chi water came into his ears clearly.Hearing this sound, several people stopped immediately.

Xu Qiao broke a dead branch for him, Xu Siyi took it, lowered his body and used the branch to pick up the fallen leaves on the ground.Layers of rotten fallen leaves were picked apart, and water seeped from the mud underneath.

"There is water." Yu Feipeng bent down, pinched a handful of soil and sniffed it.

Xu Qiao looked forward, and could see the water seeping from the fallen leaves in front of her became more and more obvious.This island is not big, and it is unlikely to have rivers, but some depressions for water storage are naturally formed.

According to the prompt given by the program group, the ore to be found is near the water, so it should be in this area.

"Let's go forward, it shouldn't be far away."

Hearing this, Fan Menghua quickened her pace a little: "Find that stone quickly, and don't drag it until dark."

Several people walked forward along the puddles of water seeping out of the soil, and one of them held a long branch in his hand, and picked up the thick fallen leaves on the ground from time to time to see if he found anything.

After walking for a while, Xu Qiao found that the soil on the ground seemed to have changed.

The soil on the ground before, mixed with fallen leaves, is brown-black humus soil formed after microbial decomposition and fermentation.The color of the soil in front of my eyes has changed a bit, showing a faint brown-red.

He guessed that it was a problem with the light, and there was a deviation in vision, but when he squatted down and took a closer look, it was indeed glowing red.

Xu Qiao raised her head, her cold white complexion seemed to hide the moonlight, its texture was almost transparent, against the wide green leaves around her body, it was like an oil painting with rich colors and cool colors.

Standing aside, Xu Siyi looked at the boy's wonderful eyebrows and stretched his fingers slightly.

Xu Qiao looked at Yu Feipeng: "Teacher Yu, look at this dirt."

Ying Wenlin leaned over and gasped, "Is this earthy red?"

Yu Feipeng walked to Xu Qiao's side, squatted down with his support, squeezed a handful of soil and spread it in his palm, looked it up and said, "This soil is not bad, let's see if there is any more pure color ahead."

The soil in the palm is mixed with humus, and only a faint red can be seen in the brown-black.

The few people walked a little further, and the color of the soil became more and more obvious.

Yu Feipeng couldn't help but stop, took out a plastic bag from his backpack, and put some red clay in it.

Hou Yingfan saw that he put the soil into a plastic bag with his hands regardless of the dirt, and asked, "Mr. Yu, what do you want to use this soil for?"

Yu Feipeng laughed: "To make paints. Most of the paints I use are colored soil from Guangxi. There is a kind of brown soil. One kind of soil can be fired into several hues, and there are many kinds of colors. I didn’t expect this small island to have similar soil, and it looks pretty good.”

"Can soil be used for painting?" Ying Wenlin was a little surprised.

Yu Feipeng nodded: "This kind of colored soil has a stable color and good durability, and it is very suitable for painting."

After all, he buried his head and picked the soil again.

Several other people were more or less hesitant to take mud with their bare hands. Who knew if there were any bugs in the soil.

Xu Qiao was quite interested in the soil, and helped the old man choose it. Xu Siyi, who was not too dirty, came over to help.

"Look at Hou Yingfan's disgusted expression... I'm speechless, what's wrong with digging, who didn't dig mud when they were young?"

"Xu Qiao and Xu Siyi are helping the old man."

"I feel that Yu Feipeng doesn't have the airs of a master of Chinese painting and calligraphy at all. The old man is very kind, and his bearing is absolutely perfect. He is very popular with the old man."

Fan Menghua watched with his hands on his knees, his eyes were a little curious: "What's the difference between this and that kind of chemically synthesized pigment?"

Yu Feipeng paused, and was about to explain, when he saw Xu Qiao looking at the soil with a concentrated expression, his fingers turning over in the soil, without any disgust, he couldn't help asking: "Xu Qiao, what do you think?"

Xu Qiao raised her head when the old man called him.

Holding a handful of soil in her palm, Xu Qiao lifted it up and gestured to Fan Menghua: "This kind of ore pigment can't be used in harmony with each other. The color quality is stable and natural, and the color is calm and gorgeous. It doesn't change color after years, and its performance will be better than that of synthetic pigments. Paint is better."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Of course, chemically synthesized pigments are also indispensable. Natural ore pigments have limited hues, so they need to be supplemented by chemically synthesized pigments."

Fan Menghua's eyes moved to Xu Qiao's palm, and the lump of soil seemed to move.

Her eyes froze, and she saw a white worm sticking its head out of the mud, and its face turned pale.

"Bug...Xu Qiao, you have bugs on your hands!!"

Xu Qiao looked at the palm, gently pinched the white worm with long knuckles inside with the other hand, raised it in front of her eyes, and looked it over carefully.

Fan Menghua was about to kneel to him, and even took a few steps back, wanting to cry but no tears.

"The protein content is very high." The corners of Xu Qiao's lips curled up happily, and she winked innocently at Fan Menghua.

Fan Menghua clutched her chest, feeling a little nauseous.

The cameraman focused the lens on the helplessly wriggling worm on Xu Qiao's fingertips. The bullet screen was silent for a while, and only a few pieces drifted past sporadically after a while.

"...Fuck, people are eating"

"Pick the head and tail off and put it in your mouth. Chew it. It's more tender than chicken and more nutritious than beef. You are worth having."

"Brother, please don't take it too hard to really eat bugs. Qiao Fan is trembling."

Having just eaten roast suckling pig, Xu Qiao was not very interested in the worm. After looking it over, she put the worm in the grass beside it.

Fan Menghua: "..."

What the hell is up with that regretful look on your face.

Seeing that the soil was almost collected, Yu Feipeng was a little embarrassed that everyone was waiting for him. He stood up and nodded to Xu Qiao: "Xu Qiao is right. Natural ore pigments are good, but on the one hand, the production process It is complex, the output is lower, and the price will be higher, so chemically synthesized pigments are still necessary."

Xu Qiao smiled and patted the mud on her hands: "Let's continue walking."

On the way, Yu Feipeng looked at Xu Qiao, anyone could see the love on his face: "You seem to be very interested in paint?"

Xu Qiao nodded.

Painters, of course, are interested in paints.

The simple three primary colors can be combined to create countless colors.On the palette, it seems to be a world of its own.

Yu Feipeng looked kindly: "Next time I will take you to my studio. There are a lot of homemade paints in it, which cannot be bought outside. If you like, you can take a few bottles with you."

Xu Qiao never knew what it was to pretend to be reserved. Hearing this, her eyes showed a bit of joy, and she simply exchanged contact information with the old man.

"Teacher Yu is really generous..."

"Is this thing expensive?"

"This kind of private self-made paint, especially for a famous painting master like Teacher Yu, the paint from his hands is not a matter of whether it is expensive or not, it is simply impossible to buy it if you want to buy it."

"The last CCTV documentary on the history of painting showed Mr. Yu's studio. There are at least hundreds of glass jars on the workbench, filled with minerals, such as mica, malachite, blue copper, Cinnabar realgar, it’s dazzling to look at the rows.”

After finding the colored soil just now, the ore that the program team asked everyone to find did not take much effort, and it was found nearby.

The terrain in front suddenly dropped, and a large area was sunken, with some water accumulated in the center, and the soil along the sides was wet.

You can see that around this natural depression, there are patches of reddish-brown sandstone that have been eroded by rainwater and exposed to the ground.

Yu Feipeng's eyes lit up: "This should be the stone we are looking for."

Seeing that they finally arrived at their destination, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a folding military shovel from their backpacks.

Now that we've found it, we just need to dig.

The old man is in good health, but the slope is steep. Taking a glance, Xu Qiao looked at Yu Feipeng: "Mr. Yu, don't go down, I'll knock a piece and bring it up for you."

With that said, Xu Qiao took the military shovel to support the ground and walked down the slope.

Hou Yingfan and the others also followed.

They are pampered and engaged in art on weekdays, not like Yu Feipeng who lived a hard life when he was young, nor Xu Qiao and Xu Siyi who are young and have good physical strength.

Going down the steep slope, the audience in the live broadcast room who staggered and watched frightened for a while.

Hou Yingfan inserted a military shovel into the soil to stabilize his body, and descended carefully.When pulling out the military shovel, a few small stones were brought out and rolled down.

Seeing the stone rolling towards Xu Qiao, Hou Yingfan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with color.

Xu Qiao didn't notice the movement above, but Xu Siyi noticed the stone rolling to Xu Qiao's feet, and as soon as he said a word of caution, Xu Qiao had already stepped on it.

Before he had time to think, Xu Siyi reached out and grabbed Xu Qiao's back collar.

The body stopped firmly in place.

Feeling the strength from her neck, Xu Qiao turned her head and looked at him with calm eyes.

It was only then that Xu Siyi discovered that Xu Qiao had a good balance, and the small stone stepped on his feet just now, so there would be no embarrassing things like slipping and falling.

Xu Siyi grabbed the back collar tightly, and Xu Qiao's entire blouse ran up, revealing a large chunk of her thin waist.

Xu Siyi let go, and faced his gaze with embarrassment: "Sorry."

Xu Qiao looked away and continued to walk down.

Xu Siyi gave a dry cough and followed his footsteps.

"Did you see that waist!!"

"The slow-handed girl is still amazed, but the quick-handed male fan has already taken a screenshot"

"Fucking brother, please share!!"

"I... I saw it, the pink one..."

"Hey, I'm sorry I shouldn't have blinked, I didn't see it ahhhhh"

"Don't worry, wait for the replay!"

The exposed reddish-brown sandstone in the depression is not hard, and some powder can be picked up by rubbing it with your hands.Xu Qiao shoveled the general worker over, tapped the sandstone with the handle of the shovel, and a small piece split open immediately, Xu Qiao broke it off and stuffed it into the backpack.

Next to him, Fan Menghua followed Xu Qiao's example and knocked on the stone, and asked, "We can go back with this stone, right?"

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, several people wanted to complete the task and leave the island quickly.

Ying Wenlin sat on the rock, took out the compressed biscuits given out by the program team in his backpack, and took two bites: "This program has changed the way to make us work as coolies. I'm starving to death, so eat two bites first."

The program team saw from the monitor that several people had successfully found the ore, and their eyes were moist. They had no choice but to announce through the earphones that they had successfully found the ore, and a helicopter would be sent over soon.

Xu Qiao knocked two stones for Yu Feipeng, and was about to put them into the backpack when a drop of water fell on the stones, leaving a small water mark.
