Under the direction of the traffic police, the bus turned around and slowly headed back along the original route.

The students, who had been in high spirits, were now all sullen.

Their long-awaited pre-graduation trip has been cancelled.

The progress was slow, and Guo Fengsheng was getting a little anxious because he was unable to carry out the task assigned to him by Lin Yifeng.

There were no phone booths around, and he didn't have a pager, so he had no way to contact Xu Qingyi, who was far away in Muye City.

"Don't..."

Just as Lin Yifeng was thinking of saying, "Don't rush, let's talk after we get off the mountain road," the bus suddenly stopped again. The leaders of Hebei Vocational University patted the bus window and asked the class teacher, Zhao Zhongsheng, to get off the bus.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Zhongsheng chatted with the leader for a while. He then got back into the car and told the students with an excited tone, "More news has just come in!"

"I have some great news to share!"

"Although we can't go to Yuntai Mountain, after discussion among the school leaders, we felt that this trip shouldn't be wasted because of this."

"So, we're now changing our destination to Qinglong Gorge!"

Qinglong Gorge is also a scenic spot in Shanyang City, and it is not too far from Yuntai Mountain.

Compared to the more famous Yuntai Mountain, Qinglong Gorge is not very well-known. Whether it is scenery or other experiences, it is not as good as Yuntai Mountain.

Most people who come to Shanyang City will definitely choose Yuntai Mountain as their first destination, but now Yuntai Mountain is inaccessible, and they can only go to the nearby Qinglong Gorge.

The experience of visiting Qinglong Gorge was not as good as that of Yuntai Mountain, but upon hearing Zhao Zhongsheng's words, the students burst into enthusiastic cheers. Even if Qinglong Gorge was not as good as Yuntai Mountain, it was still much better than going directly back to Muye City and back to school!

The students' spirits rose again when the destination was changed from Yuntai Mountain to Qinglong Gorge. Guo Fengsheng glanced at Lin Yifeng, as if asking what to do.

"get off!"

Lin Yifeng said very decisively that the straight-line distance between Qinglong Gorge and Yuntai Mountain is 28 kilometers, which is not far. Even if the bus takes a detour, it will take at most an hour to reach Qinglong Gorge.

But there's a major problem with that.

That means traveling from our current location to Qinglong Gorge will not involve passing through any cities.

If the bus returns along the same route, Lin Yifeng and his group will pass through Shanyang City. When they get off the bus, they can find a place to make a phone call anywhere.

But you can't go to Qinglong Gorge.

The road to Qinglong Gorge passes through villages. In 1992, very few villages had telephones, especially those deep in the mountains.

Lin Yifeng didn't want to gamble.

Instead of going to the gambling village to install telephones, we should get out of the car now and intercept those cars.

How could someone who can afford a car costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan not have a mobile phone?

Lin Yifeng stood up decisively and walked towards the front of the bus. When he arrived next to his homeroom teacher Zhao Zhongsheng, Zhao Zhongsheng's gaze immediately shifted to Lin Yifeng's face.

"Yifeng, is there something you need?"

Zhao Zhongsheng still cares about Lin Yifeng. The growing popularity of Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream in Muye City makes him proud of his student.

"Class teacher, Guo Fengsheng and I want to get off the bus to take care of some things."

Lin Yifeng didn't hide anything. He leaned close to Zhao Zhongsheng's ear and whispered, "There's a mudslide over Yuntai Mountain. It looks like the damage is pretty bad. Lao Guo and I are planning to go check it out. If we can help out, we will."

He paused, afraid that Zhao Zhongsheng might worry about his safety and prevent him from getting out of the car, and continued, "Old Boss, don't worry, I may not be afraid of other things, but I am definitely afraid of death. I will not joke with my own life."

"I just went to take a look and help in any way I could!"

"Speak," Lin Yifeng patted Zhao Zhongsheng on the shoulder. Zhao Zhongsheng looked at him, then at Guo Fengsheng following behind Lin Yifeng, opened his mouth, and finally uttered three words.

Be careful!

Yes, be careful.

The terror of mudslides is beyond the imagination of anyone who has witnessed them.

Although it is not raining outside now, the danger is self-evident if the mountains in the mudslide area collapse again.

Lin Yifeng nodded and said nothing more.

Stop the car and get out!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the other students on the bus, Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng got off.

Why did Lao Guo and Lao Lin get off the bus?

"I don't know, the two of them were whispering to each other and then got off the bus!"

"I don't know, but who cares? Let's go play at Qinglong Gorge!"

"Maybe he needs to get out of the car to pee?"

The roommates in the dormitory were puzzled when the two got off the bus, but they didn't think too much about it. Instead, they changed the subject and began to look forward to the scene after arriving at Qinglong Gorge.

"Let's go, driver, no need to wait for them!"

Zhao Zhongsheng said to the driver, and those who guessed that Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng had gotten out of the car to urinate were dumbfounded.

......

The mountain road from the 1990s had been repaired, but the road conditions were not very good.

The road is a four-lane road, with continuous mountain peaks on one side and cliffs fenced off on the other.

Driving on this road, if your skills aren't up to par, you might accidentally crash and have to start over.

After getting off the bus, Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng watched the slowly approaching bus and car, and then split up to intercept the car.

The car wasn't going fast; Lin Yifeng estimated it to be around 34 miles per hour. But whether Lin Yifeng or Guo Fengsheng waved to stop the car, no car stopped or paid them any attention.
