Qu Qingdai and her group successfully completed their mission, each carrying a bag full of vegetables as they leisurely walked down the mountain. Along the way, they also enthusiastically picked some bright and juicy wild fruits, their laughter and joy echoing through the mountains.
When they finally arrived at the campsite, they were surprised to find that the three boys were already waiting there.
"Wow, have you been waiting for a long time? It seems that we have successfully obtained the ingredients!" Qin Yunie couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. She ran over with a bright smile on her face.
"We..." Tan Changqing hesitated to speak, his eyes evasive. Then he looked at Bai Ren and Chao Yan. The three of them looked at each other, but none of them could utter a complete sentence.
"What's wrong?" Qu Qingdai noticed something strange, walked towards them with light steps, and asked with concern.
"Alas... We didn't get the ingredients, and the time is up, so we have to come back." Chao Yan sighed helplessly, with a bitter expression on her face, which seemed to tell of their loss and frustration.
"Ah, what's going on!" Qin Yunie widened her eyes in surprise, her mouth opened into an "O" shape. She looked at the three boys in disbelief, her heart full of doubts and confusion.
"When we were halfway up the mountain, we suddenly encountered a group of guards. At that critical moment, after discussion, we decided to let Bai Ren be responsible for leading away the guards, while Chao Yan and I continued to move forward on the mountain." Tan Changqing said slowly while recalling the scene at that time.
"Who could have imagined that when we finally reached the mountain, we would find eight guards guarding the cave? Faced with such a powerful defense, Chao Yan and I had to adjust our plans. We decided to divide the work, I would distract the guards, and Chao Yan would get the meat."
"However, I alone could not withstand the siege of eight guards and was soon captured by them. My actions were forced to suspend for ten minutes, which also led to Chao Yan being discovered when she was taking meat. When I finally broke free from the restraints and was able to move freely, I found that it was too late and our action ended in failure." Tan Changqing sighed helplessly.
"Alas... that's what's going on. There are just too many of them. It's really too hard to deal with them!" Chao Yan waved his hands helplessly, a look of frustration on his face. His words seemed to convey their helplessness and frustration in the face of difficulties.
"You have worked really hard! But it doesn't matter. Although we didn't get any meat, we got vegetables and picked some delicious wild fruits! It's still early now, we can go to the beach to see if there are any shellfish. If there are, we can pick some to eat, which is also very good." Qu Qingdai smiled and comforted everyone gently.
"Yes, yes, it's okay! At least we are half successful today, hehe!" Qin Yunie's face was filled with an optimistic smile, and her bright eyes sparkled with positivity.
"Yes, that's right!" Lin Zhirou also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, it's really amazing that you were able to successfully get the vegetables!" Tan Changqing praised sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Actually, it wasn't easy for us either. We also encountered guards halfway up the mountain. But we chose to skip the main road and take a detour. So when we reached the top of the mountain, two of us went out to lure away the guards, and in the end we narrowly won!" Qu Qingdai recounted their experience in detail.
"Oh, it's really not easy for you! It seems that we have to adopt the same strategy as you tomorrow. We can't waste time halfway up the mountain." Chao Yan frowned and said while thinking seriously.
"And you have two more people on the top of the mountain than us. If two of you go to lure away the guards, it means that one of you has to deal with four people. This seems very difficult." Qin Yunie also added, gesturing with her hands as she spoke, her face full of worry.
"Indeed, our number is still too small." Bai Ren nodded and said helplessly.
"Let's discuss countermeasures together later. Now let's go to the beach to see if there is anything to eat." Tan Changqing interrupted their conversation and suggested.
"Yes, it's important to take care of dinner first. Three of you go to the beach to find seafood, and the remaining three will prepare dinner here." Bai Ren said.
"Then I'll go!" Lin Zhirou volunteered, her eyes full of determination.
"I'll go too. I can't cook!" Chao Yan raised her hand high, with an eager expression on her face.
"I can't cook either, I'll go!" Bai Ren also said quickly, fearing that he would be left behind.
"Okay, let's decide it this way." Tan Changqing made the decision.
*
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the beach, and the sparkling sea surface was shimmering with golden light. Bai Ren, Chao Yan, and Lin Zhirou came to the beach together, ready to find some seafood to enrich their dinner.
They strolled along the coastline, with soft sand under their feet and the waves gently lapping against the shore, making a pleasant sound.
Asagao looked around excitedly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful! If I weren't here looking for dinner, I would definitely enjoy it!" Chao Yan exclaimed, "But for now, I still hope we can find a lot of delicious seafood."
"Yeah, we'll definitely find it." Bai Ren responded, his eyes focused on searching the beach.
Lin Zhirou quietly admired the sea view, the sea breeze gently blowing her hair, making her look particularly gentle.
