"What is it? What fell down?" Li Jin asked. He was still lying on the ground, looking around.
Meng Yao frowned slightly, her gaze moved accurately to the left and back, then she bent down slightly to pick up the glittering golden object on the fallen leaves.
The finger-long key was gold-plated and felt quite light. This was the prop they had been looking for to take them home: the golden key.
Meng Yao raised her arm, and the golden key shone in the sunlight. She smiled, her bright face so beautiful that it was dazzling: "Look what I said, I told you to look for it on the top of the tree, and now you've found it!"
Her joy was visible to the naked eye. Meng Yao didn't care about popularity, but she really wanted to have the opportunity to go home. The few days she spent here had exhausted all her patience. Although she secretly brought snacks, how could this wilderness compare to the warm and comfortable home.
Perhaps because she lived too comfortably in this world, Meng Yao rarely missed home.
From the moment Meng Yao showed the golden key, there was silence for a few seconds, and everyone had complicated expressions.
Who could have thought, no one could have imagined that the golden key that they had been searching for in vain would be found so easily by Meng Yao.
Li Jin's expression was the most complicated. He was standing next to Meng Yao. The plant where the key fell was only one meter away from him. He had just crawled over from there a second ago.
His hands were already filled with mud, and there was green grass debris mixed into his nails, making him look very messy. But who could have thought that Meng Yao only had time to complain, and she just kicked the scorpion banana casually, and actually kicked the key out.
Han Mei was the first to speak. His expression was still calm, but it was as soft as gold in the sun: "Congratulations."
Zhang Jiamin also reacted. His hair was messy and he looked a little disheveled like the other guests.
He said in a gentle voice: "I have to say that Xiao Meng's luck is incredible. I didn't expect you to find it so quickly! This is good. We can go home soon."
Yang Jia stood quietly aside. She thought in her heart that this was more than just incredible luck. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the Emperor of Europe.
Yang Jia couldn't accept this reality. Her expression tensed and she asked, "Meng Yao, did you know the exact location of the golden key a long time ago? Did you spend so much time playing tricks on us?"
"Yes! Let's not beat around the bush. In fact, Meng Yao, you have been holding a grudge against us for a long time, right?" Li Jin also felt that what Yang Jia said made some sense, and nodded in agreement hurriedly.
He just didn't believe that there was such a coincidence. How could anyone be so lucky? This seemed more like a trick arranged in advance just to trick them.
Seeing that the two were talking more and more outrageous, Zhang Jiamin tried to dissuade them, "It's not as complicated as you think. It's a good thing that we can go home. After all, it was Xiao Meng who found the golden key. If it weren't for her, we don't know how many more days we would have to wander here."
Meng Yao's eyes slightly shifted away from the golden key, and she looked at them as if they were mentally retarded: "Why don't you take a look at yourselves in the mirror? What charm do you two have that is worth me wasting a few hours playing house with you?"
[Meng Meng: I can finally go home! Yaoyao baby must be so happy! Congratulations!]
[Grape Sour: This, this, I got the golden key just by kicking the tree, my luck is really amazing!]
[Dreaming of getting rich: Remember what Li said some time ago, "If you can do it, do it." So this story tells us that we really can't say harsh words in front of the big guys, otherwise we will be slapped in the face and doubt our lives...]
[Complaining is not illegal: I just want to say that Li Jin and Yang Jia are getting more and more troublesome. They don’t even think about the fact that if it weren’t for the clues provided by Yaoyao, they wouldn’t even be able to find the shadow of the golden key. Now, they are actually starting to suspect Yaoyao again!]
[Meng Meng: That’s right. Any normal person can see that Yaoyao is desperate to go home. She’s really trying to flatter herself by playing tricks on them!]
After Meng Yao finished speaking, she waved the golden key in her hand to the staff beside her and said, "We have found this thing. Can we go home next?"
The staff member also reacted to the incident. He paused and said, "Congratulations to Teacher Meng Yao for finding the golden key. Next, you need to return to the camp. The plane will be parked there and waiting."
Hearing that they could go home, Meng Yao's face brightened up: "Okay, let's go back now!"
After walking so much, whether looking for food or searching for clues, this is the first time her attitude has been so positive.
When the staff came to their senses, they were thinking that Meng Yao was definitely the most popular person in the audience. Compared with her, the other guests seemed superfluous.
Especially since this is a live variety show, without any post-editing, Meng Yao's performance is enough to create a huge gap between her and the other guests.
The production team asked her to return to the camp by herself and would not provide any help such as vehicles. Meng Yao took the golden key and left in a hurry. She had just looked listless and exhausted, but now she was full of energy and walked briskly.
Faced with some obstacles, Meng Yao simply took a big step forward, gracefully and quickly.
Meng Yao returned to the camp quickly. Her cheeks were slightly red due to fatigue, but she was in good condition and her breathing was not disordered at all.
She ran straight to the camp and grabbed the director's arm: "Can we go home now?"
The director opened his mouth slightly, and came back to his senses from his daze: "Xiao, Xiao Meng, what do you mean?"
Meng Yao didn't expect that he couldn't understand. After thinking about it, she felt that what she said might not be clear enough. She took out the golden key in her hand and said, "Director, I have found the key! We can go home!"
The director finally understood why she was so excited, and was relieved when he heard Meng Yao say that she had found the golden key. After all, there were many problems in this episode, and it was urgent to adjust the strategy. The golden key was a goal set in advance, but the guests were really disappointing, and it was dragged until now.
The person who finally completed the task was the lazy Meng Yao, and the reason that motivated her to complete the task was "going home".
The tour guide stood beside them without knowing when. He was still wearing the purple suit and the familiar pair of slippers. He said with a smile, "Congratulations! It seems that our guest number four will not disappoint us!"
