I put Gong CaiCai down ahead of time near the peak so we wouldn’t get discovered by teacher Yu.
“Thank, thank you. I really caused a lot of trouble for Ye Lin cla.s.smate…”
Gong CaiCai thanked me very formally. She was able to regain some stamina while she was on my back, so she clenched her teeth and walked the last couple steps up the mountain by herself.
And she had to walk quickly because Xiao Qin was staring daggers at her from behind.
“Roll down the mountain, roll down the mountain, roll down the mountain…”
Xiao Qin chanted under her breath.
“Stop cursing her.” I said angrily, “Gong CaiCai isn’t the same as you or me, she’ll die if she rolls down the mountain.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Qin frowned and began searching for something in the gra.s.s.
“Baby snake, baby snake, here baby snake…”
“You can’t look for the snake either. Don’t resent others just because you have a flat chest.”
Xiao Qin pulled down the brim of her straw hat with both hands and went silent.
But she still followed behind me like she was my tail.
After Gong CaiCai walked to the peak, she saw the same wonderful scenery we all saw.
“It’s so green!” Gong CaiCai said happily, “It’s hard to come by so much green in the city. It was right to listen to Professor Bai and occasionally try something I never did before.”
Have you still not forgotten the teachings of the Happy Science cult? Although it worked out well for you this time, but in the end, the reason you can see the beauty of the mountains is entirely due to your own brave decision.
I’ve also seen some Christian-obsessed older women who pray to G.o.d for every day things (like a pair of shoes). Then her son hears about it and buys her a pair of shoes, but instead of praising her son for his filial piety, the older woman puts her palms together and says with unbridled devotion.
“Thank you G.o.d for granting me these shoes, amen.”
How does it have anything to do with G.o.d? It’s not like G.o.d pays your son’s wages, neither are the shoes made in Heaven.
Gong CaiCai was the same. Rather than thanking the cult, she should thank me and Xiong YaoYue who carried her up the mountain.
(But it seems like she already thanked me)
“Cla.s.s leader, I’m hungry.”
Loud Mouth, who had just kicked Eunuch Cao twice and expended a lot of calories, yelled out while patting her stomach.
“Me too, it’s tiring walking up a mountain.” Someone chimed in.
“I’m not really hungry because I’m too tired.”
“Anyway, we have to setup the grill since Niu ShiLi and the others already carried it all this way.”
The cla.s.s leader who had already eaten a red bean bun earlier couldn’t help but sigh when she saw her cla.s.smates arguing over whether or not to eat.
The cla.s.s leader was probably feeling helpless because no one else had a disciplined schedule for meals.
On the other hand, Eunuch Cao had fell into the water twice and he was soaked from head to toe. After being blown by the wind, he began to shiver.
“Alright, we can also start a fire and let Cao JingShen dry his clothes.”
“It will give everyone something to do and prevent you guys from running around. Xu LiJun, stop play fighting with You Chen and hand over the firewood.”
My basketball teammates, You Chen and Xu LiJun, each had a stick of wood in their hands and were pretend sword fighting.
After being scolded and feeling a bit childish, they lowered their heads and tossed the firewood to the center of the camp, and began to investigate how to build a campfire.
“Niu ShiLi, move this rock away.”
The cla.s.s leader kicked at a rock that was at the center of the peak that was in the shape of a washbasin.
Niu ShiLi spat into the palms of both his hands and was prepared to go at it until Xiong YaoYue came uninvited and grabbed the edge of the rock while mustering all her strength.
“Uhhhh~~~yaaaa” The rock was tugged away by Xiong YaoYue.
“I’m strong, right?” Xiong YaoYue clapped her dusty hands, then rubbed her index finger under her nose.
“Niu ShiLi, go wash your hands in the brook.” The cla.s.s leader said coldly, “The one Cao JingShen fell into earlier.”
“Huh.” Niu ShiLi paused a bit, “I didn’t do any work yet, or is it because you think my saliva is dirty…”
Niu ShiLi looked at his own large hands with shame.
Xiong YaoYue, who was nearby, shouted out ‘yahoo’ and sprinted to the brook to wash her hands.
“Hahaha, I stole this job too. I’m Superman, I…”
She felt something was wrong halfway through and turned around to yell at the cla.s.s leader: “Cla.s.s leader, you tricked me! Your original goal was to make me wash my hands!”
“Wash my hands…wash my hands…wash my hands” Xiong YaoYue’s loud and clear voice echoed for a while in the valleys.
Cui Song Mountain wasn’t the only mountain in the area, but it was the only one that had been developed to an extent (there was a small broken down stone pavilion here). The other mountains in the area were tall and more dangerous, so they weren’t suitable for tourists.
“First we have to make a stone circle to prevent the fire from spreading.”
The cla.s.s leader instructed the boys on how to build a fire.
After Xiong YaoYue had dragged away the rock, there was a patch on the ground without any gra.s.s.
We used that patch as the center point and constructed a wall with small stones. Now the fire in the middle wouldn’t set the wild gra.s.s ablaze.
It seems that the cla.s.s leader has put in a lot of effort for this field trip, especially regarding fire prevention. On the contrary, I was a safety member, but other than prevent Xiao Qin from hiding a snake in her bag, as well as catching Xiong YaoYue and Gong CaiCai, I didn’t really do anything.
Wait, I don’t think those are small accomplishment. It’s a huge accomplishment preventing the girl with the largest b.r.e.a.s.t.s in our cla.s.s by being bitten by a snake.
It’s just something I can’t tell anyone to take credit for.
After the firewood was piled up, the cla.s.s leader said to Xu LiJun, “Bring the lighter here.”
“Eh.” Xu LiJun froze and his hand in his pocket shook a little.
“Do you think I didn’t know you were secretly smoking in the men’s room?” The cla.s.s leader said, “You must have carried a lighter with you, take it out.”
“Um… then please don’t tell teacher Yu…” Xu LiJun hesitantly took out the lighter.
At this time, teacher Yu was wandering around on the top of the mountain, reflecting on his not-so-successful career as a teacher.
“Help, help!”
Right when we lit the fire, a girl’s cry for help came from behind.
I turned around and saw Gong CaiCai on the verge of tears as she was desperately running away from something.
Xiao Qin was running right behind her.
No way, did she start bullying Gong CaiCai right after I left? Did she find another snake to use?
But after a closer look, I realized Xiao Qin’s face was also filled with fear. Even her straw hat had flown away and she had tears coming out her eyes even before Gong CaiCai.
What, is someone else bullying you, but I don’t see anyone behind you.
Don’t tell me it’s a a perverted mountain G.o.d? Was there already a perverted mountain G.o.d here before Eunuch Cao was sealed here?
“So scary, it’s such a scary beetle!”
Xiao Qin ran around haphazardly in order to evade the black beetle fluttering around her head.
Gong CaiCai was pretty much in the same state. Two grown people were scared to the point of crying by a bug.
The boys were all like me and laughed unsympathetically, but it was Loud Mouth who yelled out: “You heartless people, hurry up and help them chase it away!”
“Everyone move, let a professional handle it.”
Xiong YaoYue shouted out as she pulled a burning piece of firewood from the lit campfire and held it up in her hand.
“Watch me burn them with my cursed torch.”
Who the h.e.l.l are you trying to burn, the beetle or Gong CaiCai and Xiao Qin? Is it necessary to use a ma.s.s murder weapon that deals 162hp per second?
The cla.s.s leader looked at me and pointed to Xiong YaoYue with her gaze, “Ye Lin, you know what to do.”
I understood her meaning and I s.n.a.t.c.hed the torch from Xiong YaoYue. Compared to the beetle, this was easier to get someone injured.
“Let go, thief, how could I let you take away my soul bound equipment?!”
After all, my power level was 9 times that of Gong CaiCai while Xiong YaoYue was only 5 times, so I quickly subdued her and threw the half-burned firewood back into the middle of the campfire.
At the same time, the cla.s.s leader picked up a small piece of stone from the ground. After only using a third of a second to aim, she quickly threw the stone with a flick of the wrist.
The stone accurately flew over their heads and split the beetle right in half.
The cla.s.s leader’s increased expertise in hidden weapons made everyone shocked. After a moment of silence, Loud Mouth led the applause:
“Cla.s.s leader, you’re amazing. I heard there’s a darts tournament in the city right now, do you want to partic.i.p.ate?”
“Cla.s.s leader, you’re so cool.” A girl who had always idolized the cla.s.s leader said.
“Could it be a coincidence…” someone muttered quietly, “It was so accurate, but it’s not a wuxia movie…”
Gong CaiCai and Xiao Qin, who were saved by the cla.s.s leader, stopped running only after they could not hear the buzzing sound of the beetle anymore.
“Luckily Ye Lin cla.s.smate was here or I would have died…” Xiao Qin threw herself into my arms.
The cla.s.s leader who saw this scene didn’t say anything. She was already confused on whether it was normal behavior between soon to be step-siblings, so she continued to direct the construction of the camp.
“I wasn’t the one who saved you.” I pointed towards Gong CaiCai who was thanking the cla.s.s leader, “The cla.s.s leader was the one who saved you, can’t you learn a bit from Gong CaiCai?”
“Sob sob sob, Ye Lin cla.s.smate doesn’t like me because my b.r.e.a.s.t.s aren’t as large as Gong CaiCai’s~~~” Xiao Qin began wiping her tears.
“Who asked you to learn that part.” I said angrily, “I was hoping you would learn the part where she thanks the cla.s.s leader for her help.”
“The cla.s.s leader must have only saved me to score points in front of Ye Lin cla.s.smate.” Xiao Qin puffed up her cheeks, “So that means the devious supporting female character’s position will be higher in the male lead’s heart.”
Xiao Qin, you really can’t be praised. Right when I praised you for not calling the cla.s.s leader as the supporting female character, you immediately said it again.
