The teachers behind herded the students who had fallen behind like cattle, and after more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at a place where they could rest.
The teacher in front stopped, turned to the group, and said, "Rest where you are."
Yuan Mengge found a place to sit down; it was bordered by the sea on one side and mountains on the other.
The mountains by the sea are mostly covered with shrubs and thickets, with very few tall trees.
The land here is mostly rocky soil with few trees.
The resting place was a thicket of bushes, with some trees of medium height growing there.
Where there are trees, there is shade, so everyone went to crawl under the trees.
The sun was already starting to get a bit hot around 8 a.m.
Yuan Mengge found a seat, opened a bottle of mineral water, and took a few sips.
After a ten-minute break, we continued walking at the teacher's call.
Finally, we reached the foot of the mountain and began to climb it.
Because people walk this route frequently, the path here is very clear.
After walking for another hour, everyone was too tired to talk, and the group became much quieter.
After everyone climbed down the mountain, the group had broken up into three sections.
The dragon's head is at the foot of the mountain, its body is at the top, and its tail is halfway up the mountain where you begin your ascent.
Yuan Mengge was at the foot of the mountain, where she and the others hid in a cave to rest.
Waiting for the students on the mountain to come down.
After resting for twenty minutes, we continued walking.
Because it's quite a distance to that village from here, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to walk there.
However, after conquering the small hill, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There were far fewer complaints along the way.
After descending the mountain, there gradually became some tall tree forests, and a fishing village was nestled within the coconut grove.
The houses could be faintly seen through the coconut grove, and with their destination in sight, the adults felt a renewed sense of motivation.
"We're almost there, just hang in there a little longer," the teacher behind encouraged the students.
It was clear that some of the students in the back were walking with little energy, their faces were pale, and they looked like they were about to faint.
Yuan Mengge acted as if nothing had happened, and it took her a while before her roommates slowly came over.
Seeing that she wasn't even out of breath or red-faced, the others asked her, panting, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you look tired at all?"
Yuan Mengge tilted her head and said, "This is probably the result of my running every morning?"
"Ah, I can't walk anymore... I just want to lie down..."
"Stop talking, the moment you start talking, I just want to lie down too..."
Looking at my roommates, they are all still young and have the stamina, but they are tired.
They all look fine, there's nothing wrong with them.
Everyone was covered in sweat.
Lin Manyue said with some disgust, "Ugh, I've sweated so much, my clothes are all wet... It's uncomfortable..."
"Yeah, it's so uncomfortable. I should have brought an extra set of clothes to change into."
"It'll dry in no time on such a hot day."
By noon, the temperature had risen, and everyone took off their coats and hung them on their hands.
It was a bit chilly in the morning, so most of the girls were wearing a thin jacket outside.
Yuan Mengge wasn't sweating that much; only her neck was damp.
She didn't care.
Upon arriving in the village, the teacher gathered everyone in the open space at the village entrance.
Then a minibus drove in, and everyone was allowed to board.
The car drove for a few minutes and quickly arrived in town. It then stopped in an open area and dropped off the students.
Because there are many students, several hundred.
So the teachers ordered meals in batches from several restaurants, separating the first and second-year high school students.
Yuan Mengge and the others followed their class monitor to another restaurant.
The restaurants in the small town are all small shops with just one storefront; there are only a handful that can accommodate so many people at once.
After Yuan Mengge and the others arrived at the store with their class leaders, they sat down around a table.
The restaurant staff helped serve us bowls and chopsticks.
Because of the large number of people, the store was bustling with activity.
"Where are we going this afternoon, class monitor? Do you know?" After a break, everyone became curious about what the afternoon's activities were.
I spent the whole morning hiking, so I can't go hiking again in the afternoon!
The squad leader said, "I know. After we finish eating, we will visit the provincial museum. After we leave the museum, we will be free to do our own thing."
"What's so interesting about museums...?"
The class monitor said, "Anyway, that's the schedule for the afternoon. After visiting the museum, you can have free time and go wherever you want."
After visiting the museum, it will probably be around three or four o'clock, so there will still be time.
There's no need to go back to study at night.
"I spent the whole morning hiking, but in the afternoon I went to visit some museum. It wasn't fun at all!"
"Yeah... what's so interesting about museums..."
Clearly, no one was interested in the museum; they all wanted to do something more exciting and fun.
"Then where do you guys want to go? With so many people, is there anywhere we can go for fun?" The class monitor glanced at the person and asked irritably.
Then everyone realized, "That's true... there's nowhere for so many people to go."
Yuan Mengge sat listening to their rambling conversation, then turned to the person next to her and asked, "Where are you going after you leave the museum?"
Lin Manyue, who was standing next to her, said, "Let's go shopping for clothes and go to the department store."
"The clothes in the department store must be very expensive... Let's go to the pedestrian street to buy them."
“I don’t have any money, but I’ll go with you to take a look…” Zhang Qiaolan sighed.
"Ah Ping, are you going?" Lin Manyue turned to Yuan Mengge and asked.
Yuan Mengge said, "Let's go, and I'll buy a couple of outfits while I'm at it. I feel like I've grown taller again..."
Recently, I feel that the sleeves and pants of this shirt are a bit short, and she has gained weight, and her waist has also become thicker.
The original Yuan Pingping was too thin; she had no fat around her waist.
After a year of hard work, she has finally built up some muscle mass in her body.
The pants I bought a while ago are now a bit tight around the waist.
"Let's go shopping this afternoon. We can also go to the night market tonight!"
After finishing their meal, everyone left the restaurant, rested for a while, and then returned to the bus, which then swayed and bumped its way back onto the road.
"Everyone can take a break. It's still over an hour from here to the museum, so feel free to take a nap if you're tired. If anyone gets tired of standing, you can switch seats with someone who's sitting. And for those of you sitting, your butts will hurt after sitting for a while, so don't hogging the seats." The class monitor said this to everyone on the bus before sitting down.
Everyone had just finished eating and was feeling a bit sleepy as soon as they sat down.
Yuan Mengge sat by the window, leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed.
Half an hour later, the class monitor shouted, "Alright, everyone, let's change seats and make room for the students who are standing."
