Chapter 145 Treetop Club
The journey down the mountain was much faster. Although it is said that going up a mountain is easy but going down is difficult, they were originally climbing up the mountain from the relatively flat south slope, which was not very steep.
It may also be because we have completed most of the tasks, so we feel much more relaxed, and when we go down the mountain, everyone is almost jogging.
Even so, their entire climbing journey took about six hours, and when they were hungry they only shared some of Zhang Wei's chocolate to replenish their energy.
They returned to the camp early and didn't see many people. Zhang Wei glanced around and thought it was the right time to do something good. She had not forgotten Eugenie's "treat".
As soon as Zhang Wei put down her backpack and picked up clean clothes, she was about to take a shower. Her teammates had already accepted Zhang Wei's habit of taking a shower at night, and after Zhang Wei's explanation, they also felt that it was indeed uncomfortable to rest when one's body was not clean.
Especially now that we are in the wild, it is impossible to stay clean, so everyone started packing up and going to take a shower.
There are mobile bathrooms and toilets next to the teachers' tents, which is quite good, so Zhang Wei thinks the conditions for this camping trip are pretty good.
Zhang Wei was quick and went out first. After leaving the tent, he rummaged under his tent and found the plastic bag he had placed there before.
She also touched it through the bag and it was soft, so it seemed that it was indeed hibernating and not dead.
Then she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and walked to the big tent where Eugenie was. She saw that there was no one there. Their team was made up of the last people left, and most of them were not in good physical condition.
The fact that Eugenie was assigned to this team also proves that she is not popular and is far less powerful than she was at the beginning of the school year.
But it was strange that someone would follow her to do bad things. Zhang Wei found Eugenie's bed according to the location Jenny said.
I found it right away. Clothes and other things were piled next to the sleeping bag, along with a familiar hairpin.
Zhang Wei saw a makeup bag and poured the little snake into it. Then she quickly left this place and went to take a shower.
When she had almost finished washing, Hayat and the others finally arrived.
After a tiring day, they felt refreshed after taking a shower. Then the four of them stayed in the tent to finish the rest of their homework and never came out. They even had some ham and bread for dinner and didn't cook at all because Zhang Wei felt too tired.
Moreover, the school gave them two days to complete the practical assignments. They almost finished all the assignments today. Even Hayat exclaimed:
“I never knew I could finish my homework ahead of time!”
"That feels really good though. Does that mean we can move freely tomorrow?"
Queenie continued, "Yes! I feel very relieved. No wonder Vera likes to finish her homework immediately. But I definitely don't want to do it alone."
"How about we form a study group?"
Although Tracy had no difficulty completing homework before, she felt that the efficiency was very high when everyone worked together.
Zhang Wei nodded: "That's a good idea, I agree!"
This time she also discovered the benefits of brainstorming. Everyone is good at different knowledge, and many issues are somewhat subjective. Only real foreigners like them can touch the core part.
Her thinking was too limited, and she had discovered this before, because the more than 20 years of living in China had left a deep imprint on her thinking.
And Tracy is really knowledgeable, she knows a lot of little bits of knowledge; Hayat is very lazy and has a unique perspective on things; Queenie is hardworking and never afraid of trouble, she always accepts some tedious tasks with pleasure.
After the four of them voted in favor, they also chose a name for their study group. Hayat wanted to name it "Rose Alliance", but Zhang Wei firmly voted against it because it sounded too much like a senior citizen dating show in their previous life.
"How about calling it Treetop Rose?" Hayat continued to suggest.
"Why must it be roses?" Zhang Wei couldn't understand her persistence.
"The rose is the national flower and represents British girls. Oh, I forgot you're not one. Let me think of another one."
The last and most unpretentious name finally got everyone's agreement - Treetop Club.
Because Queenie explained:
"We are all participants in the treetop adventure. We only become winners under Vera's selection. However, as outstanding people, we must stay ahead of others and be the ones standing on the treetops."
“So the goal of our club is to become the treetop people standing at the top!”
Although the title of "Excellent" will accompany Zhang Wei and her classmates until the end of their five years of high school life, the halo it brings will only last for the first year of school.
If they cannot prove that they are indeed better than others in all aspects in the future, this halo will become a shackle that binds them, and they will always be bound by the halo they once had.
So Queenie's explanation convinced everyone, and now their small study group is called the Treetop Club.
The reason why it is called the Club is because she said that it will grow and become bigger in the future, so the name must be bigger. I have to say that Queenie is quite far-sighted.
Because ten years later, the Treetop Club became one of the most famous student organizations in Europe, although it was only a girls' organization within Devon School.
And now it was just a name and four tired twelve-year-old girls who were forced to go to bed early.
Zhang Wei woke up early the next morning, but she didn't want to get up. Listening to the noisy sounds outside, she actually felt a sense of calm and comfort.
But this peace was immediately broken by a series of screams.
This was in the outermost tent for twenty people. A dozen girls screamed and fled from the tent, shouting as they ran:
"Snake! Snake! Eugenie has a snake!"
At this moment, Eugenie fled from the tent with a pale face. One of her hands was shaking. She picked up a bottle of water and poured it on her hand, but did not dare to touch it with her other hand.
Several teachers in charge immediately ran over with tools in their hands. Then they carefully searched the tent and found a small snake no thicker than a finger in a corner.
Then I picked it up with tools and put it into the big bag I brought with me. After putting it in, I found that the little snake would not move at all.
Then the teacher in charge found everyone in the tent and recounted what had happened. Most people testified that the snake was thrown out by Eugenie.
Eugenie just glared at Jones who was beside her. Jones kept his head down and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"What's going on?" The teacher in charge looked at Eugenie and asked sternly.
Eugenie stammered a few times and finally said, "Someone wanted to harm me and put a snake in my makeup bag."
