Chapter 783: Beat Him At His Own Game

Shane anxiously clawed the water for a long time, but the fish still ran away.

He said regretfully, “Aiya, it ran away.”

“It’s okay, we still have a few more. Let’s go back and eat fish,” Sharon comforted. The fish cage she had made really caught fish, and Sharon felt very proud. She felt that she had unlocked many new skills in Man vs. Wild.

On the way back to the camp, Melinda found a little bird under a tree. It was helplessly lying on the ground and crying with its eyes closed.

Sharon held the little bird in her palm. The little bird’s legs and wings were injured, and it nestled pitifully in Sharon’s hand.

“It’s so pitiful.” Melinda gently touched the bird’s head with her fingers. The bird shrunk its neck in shock and buried its head in its wings.

The little bird was small and black. From the looks of it, it was a baby bird. Its wings had yet to grow hard. It might have encountered its natural enemy and was injured.

Dan took the little bird from Sharon. The little bird was still trembling. It was thin, weak, and small, and it was very easy to arouse one’s protectiveness and pity. Dan and Shane looked at it with gentle eyes.

Shane looked at the bird that had curled up into a ball like a small ball of yarn.

It was already small to begin with, so it looked even smaller when it curled up.

Sharon and the others decided to bring the little bird back to the camp. It was fate that they met this little bird before they left.

When they went to the stream, only Geoffrey was still waiting near the camp.

While Sharon and the others weren’t around, Geoffrey tampered with the water celery distributed by the production team.

Water celery is rich in minerals, while wild celery, which is very similar to water celery, is highly toxic, and wild celery is also called poisonous celery.

Water celery was extremely similar to poisonous celery, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to differentiate. Geoffrey had mixed some poisonous celery into Sharon’s bundle of water celery. This time, Sharon probably wouldn’t be so lucky to escape.

Sharon and the others returned to the camp with the harvest from the fish

cage.

“Teachers, how’s your harvest today?” Geoffrey pretended to be concerned, but he didn’t care at all.

“The fish cage caught a few fish and two crabs,” Dan replied.

“These fish don’t look too big. Maybe it’s not enough.” Geoffrey pretended to be considerate and warm-hearted and reminded them kindly, “You can cook the water celery while it’s fresh. Otherwise, it won’t taste good when it wilts.”

‘Yes, let’s roast the crabs later and cook the remaining fish and water celery together,” Shane said. He gave everyone a coconut shell to cook the celery. The celery distributed by the production team was in small bundles, just enough for one person.

Geoffrey was a member of the props team, so he had his own food. Therefore, each of them had a fish for themselves.

Sharon took the coconut shell Shane gave her. When she saw Geoffrey looking at her with shifty eyes and avoiding her gaze in a panic, she knew that there was something wrong with him.

After Dan boiled the water celery twice, he poured the water out. Then, he added new water and put the fish in. When the fish was almost cooked, he would put the water celery in.

Water celery was more bitter and needed to be cooked twice more.

The others also followed Dan’s example and cooked the water celery and fish.

Melinda’s food was ready very quickly. She took a few bites. Although the water celery was still slightly bitter, the fish meat was very fragrant.

Only Sharon stared at her bundle of water celery thoughtfully. After taking out a few pieces of celery and observing them for a long time, she suddenly understood.

The stems and leaves of the water celery were smooth, but in Sharon’s small bundle of celery, a few of the stems and leaves had fine fur. This was wild celery, or poisonous celery. If one didn’t look carefully, they really wouldn’t be able to tell.

Sharon smiled and boiled the celery and fish. Since he wanted to harm her, she would beat him at his own game.

Geoffrey was eating his sausages and bread at the side, staring at Sharon from time to time.

Sharon picked up a pair of chopsticks made of wooden sticks and picked up a piece of water celery.

Geoffrey stole glances at Sharon from time to time.

Sharon sneered from an angle that Geoffrey couldn’t see. Suddenly, she covered her stomach with a pained expression. 𝓝𝑂𝑣𝑬𝓵𝗎𝔰𝕓.𝒸𝑂𝐦

“Sharon, what’s wrong?” Melinda put down the ” chopsticks” in her hand and asked worriedly.

“My stomach hurts.” Sharon covered her stomach with both hands, her expression pained..
