The way down the mountain is always easier and faster than going up, especially after resolving the crisis and finding people. Everyone chats together and brags about the various crises they have encountered since early morning until now.
People suddenly ignored the passage of time, and by the time everyone reacted, they had arrived at a somewhat familiar forest area.
This was where Professor An and his team set up camp in the early morning. When they saw the crooked tents that had been rummaged through and the instruments that had been discarded everywhere, they prepared themselves.
Professor An and others, who were tired after a day of work, immediately gathered their spirits and rushed forward anxiously to pick up the instruments on the ground, as well as the fallen tents, luggage, etc.
The moon was already high in the sky. Lu Chuanbei had originally planned to continue on his journey with Professor An and the others, but when he saw their tired faces, and the way they were trying hard to stay together with their eyes half-closed while packing, he realized that it would be too much to ask them to continue on their journey.
"Hmm~" Professor An picked up an instrument on the ground and was about to stand up to check if the instrument was damaged, but he felt dizzy and fell backwards.
Seeing this, Lu Chuanbei hurried forward and quickly supported him: "Professor An, are you okay?"
Professor An forced his eyelids open and waved to Lu Chuanbei: "It's okay, it's okay. I just have a little hypoglycemia."
Lu Chuanbei looked at Professor An's bloodshot eyes and the dark circles under his eyes, and knew that Professor An was at the end of his strength and exhausted.
In addition, they had been on the run for a day and a night, without any proper rest or food. If they continued to walk more than 30 kilometers with Professor An and others to rush back to Xiejia Village, it would only over-consume their mental energy.
Even if they return to the village, they will become weak due to excessive exercise and suffer from various sequelae. For their safety and health, resting and eating are the most important things now.
Thinking of this, even though Lu Chuanbei wanted to get back to the village as soon as possible, he still suggested to Lin Zeyuan, Shen Chengxiu and others that they should rest here for one night and continue their journey back after daybreak tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, before Lin Zeyuan and the others could say anything, Professor An quickly shook his head and said, "No, no need to rest. Let's pack up and continue on our journey."
"No," Lu Chuanbei said immediately, "Professor An, you are already extremely tired. If you continue on this journey, not only will your body not be able to bear it, but it will also cause great damage to your heart and kidneys."
"No, I know my own body well. I'm just in a hurry. I have no problem at all. Besides..." Before Professor An finished speaking, a researcher who was a little younger than Professor An just picked up the tent on the ground and fell to the side.
Professor An saw this and hurried over with Lu Chuanbei, wanting to help the man up, but he heard him snoring from the ground.
Upon hearing this, Professor An, who was originally very worried, was suddenly speechless.
Lu Chuanbei, with the rigor of a doctor (trying to suppress a smile), stepped forward and examined the researcher, who was already fast asleep on the ground. "He's overtired and fell asleep."
"Ahem..." Professor An cleared his throat. "Well, I think what you said just now is right. Let's rest for a night and continue our journey tomorrow."
Having said that, Professor An hurriedly went into his own tent.
Lu Chuanbei looked at Professor An's impatient figure (fleeing in panic) and reminded him with a smile: "Professor An, remember to change your clothes before going to bed!"
Professor An, who was originally planning to lie down and have a good sleep as soon as he entered the tent, hurriedly got up after hearing this and changed his clothes that were wet by the rain and then dried.
At this time, Lu Chuanbei also asked Xiao Gao to give two ginger grains to Professor An and other researchers, and asked them to take them and then rest.
When Professor An saw that it was ginger grains, he took it and swallowed it without saying a word. The ginger grains took effect immediately and made Professor An feel warm all over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Professor An lay down in the sleeping bag that was not wet by the rain. The dry and warm sleeping bag allowed him to fall asleep in just one second.
Not far from the tent, Lu Chuanbei, who was working with Lin Zeyuan and others to move the first researcher who fell asleep instantly into the tent, changed him into clean clothes and stuffed him into a sleeping bag, heard the snoring of Professor An and the researcher who had just been stuffed into the sleeping bag, both of which were snoring at the same pace, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
After settling Professor An and the others, Lu Chuanbei and the others built a few stoves in their camp, put up folding pots, cooked some warm porridge and some more palatable food, and kept them warm on the stoves.
At this time, Lu Chuanbei took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Song Tiantian in the village to ask about their current situation.
But when he took out his cell phone, Lu Chuanbei found that there was no signal here.
This made Lu Chuanbei, whose cell phone had been modified so that he could receive calls and messages anywhere, raise his eyebrows, and then he started looking around.
Sure enough, not far from the camp, a black object no bigger than a fist was thrown into the grass.
If Lu Chuanbei hadn't been so careful, such a small thing would have been overlooked by him.
"Signal jammer." Lin Zeyuan looked at the black object that Lu Chuanbei brought back. "Is this probably why Professor An and the others lost contact?"
"Yeah." Lu Chuanbei pressed a button directly on the signal blocker, above the flashing signal light, and then looked at his phone. Sure enough, the signal on it was full.
Once they saw this, there was nothing they didn't understand.
"Sure enough, these people planned it in advance."
"Yeah." Chen Chengxiu looked at the tent behind him and said, "I guess that group has already started planning this operation since Professor An and the others planned to go up the mountain, right?"
"Of course. Professor An, as an expert professor at the Institute of Animal Protection, would definitely call the police if he heard the sound of poachers' woodcutting."
"But it just so happened that when they arrived, the signal was working perfectly, but when they were about to call the police, not only did the signal go away, but someone immediately emerged from the woods and chased them, shooting at them. It would be strange if this wasn't planned in advance."
"I just don't know who's behind those poachers." Lin Zeyuan couldn't help but become alert when he thought about how a mudslide was diverted near the village entrance just after the news of Professor An and his team's loss of contact spread. "So, even if those poachers have been caught now, don't let your guard down until you're safely back in the village."
"yes!"
I had been sleeping soundly in the tent, but when I heard the noise outside, my eyeballs began to move rapidly...
After Lu Chuanbei's cell phone signal was restored, he called Song Tiantian. After hearing Song Tiantian's voice in person, Lu Chuanbei breathed a sigh of relief, felt at ease, and returned to his tent to rest.
After a night, the porridge and side dishes that were originally prepared for Professor An and his companions at night were directly served as breakfast, filling the stomachs of Professor An and his companions who were already hungry after being exhausted and sleeping all night.
After having a full meal and feeling full of energy, Xiao Gao and his companions immediately dismantled the tents in the camp, took their equipment and instruments, and prepared to go down the mountain.
This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the village. According to their walking speed, they will probably reach the village before noon.
When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but pack their luggage faster.
While Lu Chuanbei and the others were busy packing up and preparing to go down the mountain, Song Tiantian woke up and walked out of the tent.
As soon as she opened the tent, Song Tiantian saw Xiangfangnan walking towards the woods. Upon seeing this, the little girl immediately chased after him: "Nannannannan, why are you getting up so early in the morning?"
Xiangfangnan turned his head to look at Song Tiantian, whose little face was trembling, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Song Tiantian looked at his smiling face and couldn't help but touch her chubby little face: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, it's very cute." Xiangfangnan said, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you just ask me why I got up so early in the morning?"
Song Tiantian nodded hurriedly: "Yeah."
"Then come with me." Xiangfangnan said, and pulled Song Tiantian's soft little hand.
Wang Dazhong and Yu Xiaoming, who were following behind them, couldn't help but look at the two little ones holding hands in the woods, and couldn't help but show their uncle faces.
"That's great, childhood sweethearts."
"Yeah, it would be even better if they could still be together when they grow up."
"Do you dare to say this in front of Brother Lu?"
"No, if he knew that I secretly paired Tiantian and Nannan together, he would probably eat me on the spot."
"Hahaha." Wang Dazhong said with a smile: "Brother Lu really wants to know what his expression will be when Tiantian grows up and gets married."
Yu Xiaoming couldn't help but smile when he thought of Lu Chuanbei, whose expression would change just when Song Tiantian held Xiangfangnan's hand.
In front, Xiangfangnan pulled Song Tiantian and ran in one direction, and soon they came to a familiar place.
Song Tiantian looked at where Xiangfangnan was standing with her, and couldn't help but look up at the giant hornet's nest on the rock wall that had been integrated with the rock wall. "Is this the place you want to bring me to?"
"Hmm," Xiangfangnan said, looking at the hornet's nest on the rock wall. "I always feel like there's something on this hornet's nest that's attracting me."
"I know, me too." Song Tiantian felt the attraction of the hornet's nest when she was fishing nearby a few days ago. However, when she thought of the expedition team from the Sakura Country who were stung beyond recognition by hornets, Song Tiantian immediately gave up the idea of digging out the hornet's nest.
As if knowing what Song Tiantian was about to do, a dozen hornets suddenly flew out of the originally quiet hornet's nest and began to dance around it.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dazhong and Yu Xiaoming immediately stepped forward and picked up the two little guys who were so bold as to run under the hornet's nest.
"Tiantian Nannan, why did you run under the hornet's nest?"
"Tiantian, wasp stings are no joke. If you're not careful and the wasps feel threatened, they can sting you to death."
"Yes, you remember the expedition team from a while ago? They haven't been discharged yet. Don't you want to give it a try too?"
"No, no." Song Tiantian quickly shook her head: "I just came to take a look."
Xiangfangnan did have some ideas, but when he saw the vigilant expressions of Yu Xiaoming and the others, he knew that this was not a good time to talk to Song Tiantian about the hornet's nest.
But it doesn’t matter…
Xiangfangnan looked up and nodded at Yu Xiaoming and the others: "I understand. Let's go now."
"Be good." Although he said that, Wang Dazhong still didn't let go of Xiang Nan. Instead, he carried him directly towards the hot spring cave: "Director Xu should have made breakfast by now. Let's go back and take a look."
"Yes, when I got up just now, I happened to see Director Liu making chicken soup porridge. I guess it's time to eat it now." After saying that, Yu Xiaoming carried Song Tiantian away, with no intention of letting them get down and walk on their own.
Song Tiantian hugged Yu Xiaoming's neck and subconsciously glanced at the hornet's nest. At this glance, Song Tiantian seemed to find another black and purple disc-shaped object under the pine tree growing obliquely on the rock wall above the hornet's nest. Just as Song Tiantian was about to take a closer look, her view was blocked by the shade of a tree.
Song Tiantian, who didn't see what the black and purple object was, immediately became interested in it.
Look, Song Tiantian quickly spread out her mental power and extended it towards the rock wall.
Xiangfangnan felt the fluctuations coming from around him and knew that Song Tiantian had discovered it.
Sure enough, when Song Tiantian's spiritual power clearly saw what the purple-gold disc-shaped object was, she finally understood that it was not the hornet's nest that attracted her, but the purple-gold Ganoderma lucidum on the hornet's nest that attracted her.
Song Tiantian looked at the disc-like purple-gold Ganoderma lucidum, and couldn't help but clear her throat, looking towards Xiang Nan: Nan Nan, were you trying to tell me about the Ganoderma lucidum just now?
Xiangfangnan nodded: Well, when I was exercising my mental strength in the tent last night, I found the Ganoderma lucidum on the hornet's nest, so I wanted to bring you to see it.
Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian immediately gave Xiang Nan a good guy card: Nan Nan, you are so nice!
Xiangfangnan smiled and then said to Song Tiantian: However, a hornet's nest is indeed too dangerous. If we want to pick Ganoderma lucidum, we still have to tell the adults.
Song Tiantian responded hurriedly: Don't worry, I will talk to Uncle Yu right away!
