Chapter 139 Food Fight
Chapter 140 Food Fight
According to his judgment, the direction from which the loud noise just came was the direction in which the guide left.
"Please don't be in any danger, uncle..." Li Hui stood against the cave entrance for a long time. When he saw that the guide did not return, his heart sank a little.
Looking at the increasingly heavy rain and the dark night outside the cave, Li Hui became more and more desperate. If the guide really had an accident and no one knew they were in the mountains, would they be trapped and die here?
Thinking of this, Li Hui took a deep breath and walked towards Teacher Wang, "Teacher, I think we should be prepared to run out of food next."
Hearing this, the students around looked up in surprise.
…
Wen Ning, who was far away in the capital, had a very restless sleep that night. In his dreams, he kept seeing Fang Qing being washed away by the heavy rain.
After waking up several times, he couldn't fall asleep again and returned to school at dawn.
Wen Ning quickly found the school leaders, told them about the bad weather in the past two days and that Fang Qing's class was going out for a field trip, and requested that they contact them urgently.
The school leader shook his head and smiled when he saw this. He knew, of course, that Wen Ning was engaged to a freshman girl, so he thought that he was just being too concerned.
"Xiao Ning, don't worry. Our school has always had professional teachers leading our activities in previous years. The places we go to are very safe villages. Even if there are any problems, there are very professional leaders in the local area. Nothing will happen, don't worry."
That being said, Wen Ning was still uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen. However, no matter how he begged, the school leaders only promised to contact the students as soon as possible, but nothing more was done.
It was not until lunch time that news suddenly came over the school radio that a landslide had occurred near Miaowang Mountain in the suburbs yesterday, and several surrounding hospitals had quickly organized rescue teams to go to the rescue.
Upon hearing the news, Wen Ning dropped the plate in his hand to the ground.
…
At this time, everyone in the cave was in a very bad condition after being blown by the cold wind all night.
Because the guide had been slow to return, everyone, following Li Hui's suggestion, took out all the supplies they had and shared them equally to maintain the collective strength.
Fang Qing had the most supplies in the class because Wen Ning had prepared a bag of things for her. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she had no choice but to hand over all the things, but when no one was paying attention, she secretly kept a handful of the fruit candies that Wen Ning had bought.
After all, food is limited, and once it is distributed equally, each person will get very little.
Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi beside him were both injured and caught a cold in the rain, and were now a little drowsy. In this situation, water and medicine were already in short supply. If there were not enough carbohydrates to maintain their physical strength, Fang Qing could hardly imagine how these powerless students would face the situation that would follow.
Several male students went out together to collect firewood and asked for the way down the mountain, but they soon returned dejectedly with the wood in their arms.
Li Hui took off the plastic bag, shook off the rain and sighed, "It's still no use. There is only one way down the mountain from here, and it has been blocked by collapsed rocks. Other places are half cliffs, and it is difficult to leave without professional climbing ropes. If we force our way down the mountain, we don't know what we will encounter. We can only wait for rescue."
Upon hearing the news, everyone fell silent.
A whole day had passed, and they took turns going out to investigate several times, but they had not found a guide, nor had they seen any signs of villagers from the mountain coming to support them.
If the guide had successfully descended the mountain last night, even if the mountain road was difficult to walk on, he should have come up this morning at the latest. But now it was almost evening and still no one came, all of which showed that the guide might have met with an accident.
After not getting a good rest for the whole day, fatigue, hunger and anxiety made everyone in the cave finally lose their patience. They became restless and some even started quarreling over trivial matters.
"That was our water, why did you drink it? What would we do if you drank it?"
"Whoever saw it, don't slander me!"
"I saw it. There was not enough water to begin with, and Fangfang was waiting to take her medicine. You actually took two big gulps while I was looking for the medicine. Don't think I didn't see it..."
Upon seeing this, the two teachers forced themselves to run over and separate the two people fighting. They first calmed everyone down, and then encouraged everyone to save their energy and wait for rescue.
But it's been so long, where are the rescuers? Have they been forgotten?
Everyone lowered their heads in worry. After all, the food was almost gone, the drinking water was limited, and the temperature in the mountains was still low at night. If they were to freeze like this for another two days, no one knew whether they would be rescued.
Fang Qing lowered her eyes as she looked at the few people not far away who were getting impatient. She pursed her cracked lips and tried her best to restrain her desire for the water in the cup.
This is the only drinking water left today, and it has to be saved for Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi's medicinal use. I can only think of other ways.
Fang Qing helped the two people, whose faces were red from fever, drink the medicine, and used his fingers to dip some water to moisten their chapped lips.
Li Hui filtered some more water, and everyone helped put the lunch boxes on the fire and continued to boil water.
Wang Nan leaned against Fang Qing, and her whole body was very hot. Fang Qing had no other choice but to use a handkerchief dipped in cold water to wipe their faces and necks to cool them down. After an unknown amount of time, their body temperatures dropped and Fang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Wang Nan woke up, she had consumed a lot of energy due to fever. When she opened her eyes, she felt so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back, and her whole body started shaking.
Fang Qing knew that Wang Nan was very hungry. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Nan's mouth, whispering, "Hold it in your mouth. Don't let anyone see it."
Wang Nan obediently held the candy in his mouth and lay down to recover his strength. Fang Qing could finally relax. He walked to the edge of the cave and caught the falling rain with his hands to quench his thirst.
As night fell, the rain finally stopped. The stars in the sky were washed to shine exceptionally brightly. Fang Qing looked up and was unconsciously lost in thought.
In this mountain without any means of transportation or communication, she didn't know what was going on outside, nor did she know if Wen Ning would be worried. She could only make a wish to the night sky, hoping that someone would quickly discover that they were here.
But just when everyone was resting quietly, Li Xin jumped out again.
"Okay, you guys are eating alone!"
Following Li Xin's finger, Wang Nan, who was leaning against the stone wall, had a trace of white powdered sugar at the corner of her mouth. Fang Qing bit her lip. She was careless and was discovered by Li Xin.
When distributing food yesterday, the sophomore students did not prepare much food, so Teacher Wang kindly shared the food from his own class with them.
But Li Xin and the others were not grateful. Instead, they felt that Fang Qing and the others gave too little.
At this moment, Li Xin put her hands on her hips and looked at Wang Nan and Fang Qing, smiling smugly.
These two people finally fell into her hands. This time she must teach them a good lesson!
