Chapter 89089 Chu Song's Little Slip
Work from sunrise to sunset and cannot rest.
This is a true portrayal of Chu Song's recent life. There are more than 800 people in Luhua Brigade, and Chu Song is responsible for sending one-third of them. He has to run back and forth several times.
The only psychological comfort she had was that she had many acquaintances on the hill she was in charge of, and most of the educated youth were in this area, responsible for clearing this section of the canal.
"Xianxian, you're here!"
"Hey, Comrade Chu Song!"
"Oh, I've been looking forward to your coming this morning."
Chu Song grunted as he pushed the small food cart up the mountain. As soon as his figure appeared, a large group of "fans" came up to greet him and enthusiastically helped to distribute the food.
This was certainly not just due to her personal charm, but also because she was pushing the food cart, which meant it was halftime. After a tiring morning, her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Aren’t you looking forward to nothing but Chu Song’s coming?
Therefore, a group of people looked at Chu Song "infatuatedly", which actually covered up Lu Minglin's "infatuated" look and did not attract anyone's attention.
"Let me help you."
"No need, there's not much left." Chu Song didn't even raise her head as she was busy distributing the food on the cart. This was just the first batch, and there were still many people crying for food, looking like hungry wolves. She was afraid that if she went too late, they would starve to death on the mountain.
"Then I'll help you push it down the mountain later."
Chu Song stopped and looked up. It turned out to be Lu Minglin.
"Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired."
Unfortunately, it was not very convincing. I worked for a whole morning, and it was noon when the temperature was the highest. Even the strongest person could not withstand it.
Chu Song raised his eyebrows, "Okay then."
Gotta give it a chance.
When Lu Minglin saw that she agreed, his mood instantly soared from the bottom of the valley to the clouds. He was like a hardworking little bee, busying around her.
"Not hungry either? I'm telling you in advance, come with me down the mountain later. You probably won't have time to eat. You can only wait for the last batch. Don't force yourself."
"I'm not hungry." Lu Minglin replied in a muffled voice.
My mood fell from the clouds to the bottom again.
...Chu Song, when did you become so polite to him? In the past, she didn't care whether he was tired or hungry, as long as she herself was not tired or hungry.
Lu Minglin didn't know if he was being too servile, but he felt uncomfortable and couldn't adapt to the current situation.
He would rather Chu Song ordered him around than see Chu Song being polite and distant with him.
A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. Chu Song keenly heard that Lu Minglin's tone suddenly dropped several degrees. She frowned, thought for a while but couldn't figure out why, so she simply gave up.
She was extremely tired these days and it was rare for her to show any kindness and empathy.
Any more, sorry, I don’t have the time.
Chu Song: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain!"
Lu Minglin took the cart tactfully, and Chu Song held him back, "Let's take the small road instead of the main one."
"Why are you suddenly taking the side road?"
"The main road has little shade and doesn't provide sun protection. I've observed that there's a small path down the mountain. Not only does it make it faster, but it's also cooler with no sun."
Lu Minglin was more thoughtful and felt something was wrong. "Few people come to this mountain, and even fewer people walk on the path. I'm worried..."
"I'm not afraid, so why are you?" Chu Song was fearless. "Are you worried about wild animals? No way. I've been here for a few days and haven't even seen a hair of a wild animal."
"I'm not worried about wild animals, I just think the main road is safer...Okay, let's do as you say."
Lu Minglin was halfway through his explanation when Chu Song stopped talking and just stared at him with his eyes wide open. His gaze was scorching under his messy bangs.
Lu Minglin was suddenly speechless, and then he compromised.
"Then follow me."
"Don't worry, if there is any danger, I will definitely protect you."
Lu Minglin was stunned, then curled up the corners of his mouth.
This path is indeed not walked by many people. It is covered with fallen leaves, which make a rustling sound when stepped on.
Lu Minglin pushed the cart ahead. The mountain road became narrower and narrower, while the bushes on both sides became denser and denser. He used his arms to push aside the branches that blocked the road as he walked, and from time to time he looked back at Chu Song who was following behind him.
"Walk slowly and be careful of the stones under your feet. They are covered with moss and are slippery."
"I know."
Lu Minglin once again pushed aside the branches blocking his way and raised his foot to step over the protruding rock in front of him, but the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed, and a hunter's pit covered by fallen leaves appeared before him.
He had no time to react and fell down instantly.
Chu Song was startled and subconsciously wanted to step back to avoid it, but the mossy stone under her feet was too slippery, causing her to fall forward instead.
As a last resort, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Lu Minglin's clothes.
The result was that two people and one car fell into the pit together.
Fortunately, the pit was not too deep, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches at the bottom. Chu Song was protected by Lu Minglin, and he fell on him without suffering any injuries.
The two looked at each other. Chu Song blinked and lowered his voice, "I don't know either. Who knew there would be such a trap?"
"It should be a hunter's pit left behind. Fortunately, it is abandoned and there are no traps or animal traps inside."
Chu Song nodded. She didn't care about her image and rubbed her butt. She was not injured, but she must have been hurt after falling from such a high place.
"Brother Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Minglin was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Chu Song said "Oh". She sat at the bottom of the pit and looked up. The pit was very big, more than two meters deep. Without any tools, two people could not climb up at all.
"Looks like we can only wait until someone notices we're missing and comes looking for us."
"Um."
Chu Song was optimistic. "I just delivered the first batch of food. The people behind me will definitely make a fuss if they can't eat, and then they will soon notice that I'm missing. This pit is halfway up the mountain, and the location is not far away. If we're lucky, we can still catch up in time for dinner when we get back."
Lu Minglin smiled and nodded.
"I'm going to be scolded by my mother again, you troublemaker!" Chu Song held her chin and cursed in Ye Xiuzhi's tone. She sighed, then turned her head and found that Lu Minglin was staring at her with burning eyes without blinking.
"Are you sick? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Minglin probably couldn't even imagine how gentle his eyes were right now.
He still remembered the last second before he fell into the pit. She was obviously scared and terrified, but she still reached out to him desperately, trying to hold him back. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough and was dragged into the pit by him instead.
"Chu Song."
"Um?"
"Just now... why did you want to save me? Aren't you afraid? What if this isn't an abandoned hunter's pit, and there really is a trap inside?"
Save? Chu Song was stunned. Wait, who did she save?
Could it be that Lu Minglin thought her slipping feet meant she was trying to reach out and save him?
"This question..."
Should I admit my slip or just go along with it?
Chu Song wanted to save face, so she said "hmm" and admitted it calmly, "There's no reason. I didn't think too much about it. I saved him if I wanted to. Besides, didn't I fail to save him?"
Lu Minglin's heart burned, and his eyes became even more blazing. He didn't think too much about it, and just saved her if he wanted to...
Does this mean that she actually has him in her heart?
If she didn't have him in her heart, how could she risk everything to save him at the critical moment of life and death?
In short, Lu Minglin believed it himself. He thought that nothing could make him happier than this moment.
"Chu Song."
"what?"
Lu Minglin looked at her and smiled foolishly, "Chu Song."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to call your name."
Chu Song covered his ears, quite speechless: "If you are sick, go get treatment!"
Lu Minglin was not sad about being scolded. His face suddenly became thicker and he continued to look at people affectionately.
The pit was so small that Chu Song had to sit face to face with the other person, staring at him, "Don't look at me."
"Why?"
"Brother, your eyes are harassing me!"
Chu Song didn't know what had come to his mind, but he became... flirty? Like a peacock spreading its tail.
Lu Minglin closed his eyes obediently, "Okay, then I'll close my eyes and I won't look at you."
The burning gaze finally disappeared, and Chu Song felt annoyed. He should have confessed that he had slipped. The embarrassment was only temporary, but it was better than being misunderstood like this.
The most important thing is that Lu Minglin's aura came so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed.
In silence.
Chu Song suddenly heard her stomach growling twice. She touched herself and found that it was not her stomach. Then she looked at Lu Minglin in surprise.
"Didn't you say you weren't hungry?"
Lu Minglin closed his eyes, a slightly embarrassed look on his face. His ears were red as he said slowly, "I'm very tired and very hungry, but I want to stay with you for a while longer."
"Okay now, let's stay in this pit together. If we're unlucky and no one finds us, we'll all die here together."
Lu Minglin felt like he was a little abnormal, because for a moment, he actually thought it was not bad and very romantic.
Chu Song: "Open your mouth."
Although Lu Minglin was confused, he still opened his mouth obediently. Something came to his mouth, and he opened his mouth and bit it, and found it was a leaf.
Chu Song's somewhat jerkish smile echoed in his ears, "Just open your mouth when I tell you to."
Lu Minglin nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Again."
Lu Minglin did as he was told, and an oval-shaped object was stuffed into his mouth. "Candy?"
In fact, his attention was all on Chu Song's fingertips, but unfortunately it disappeared in a flash.
"Yeah, I put it in my pocket when I went out. It's not much. It's a bargain for you."
"Thank you, that's sweet."
Chu Song always felt that there was something else behind his words. "I'm warning you, stop your courtship behavior immediately. We are trapped here now, and survival is a problem."
"So, you shouldn't leave yourself with any regrets."
Chu Song: “…”
Or maybe just tell him that he just slipped :)
-
Chu Song's guess was correct. The rest of the people felt strange that they didn't get to eat, so they sent someone to the cafeteria to ask. The aunts in the cafeteria were also surprised because they hadn't seen Chu Song and he hadn't come back since he went out.
After a few people exchanged messages, they found something was wrong.
Oh no, Chu Song is missing.
When Ye Xiuzhi heard the news, she almost fainted.
An accident? A fall off a cliff? Encountered a villain? Encountered a wild animal in the mountains? The more Ye Xiuzhi thought about it, the more terrified she became. No matter what the situation was, she couldn't accept it.
Xiang Baoshu was quick to support the man and said calmly, "Aunt Ye, don't worry. You need to stay calm. The most important thing now is to find Xianxian. I will organize people to look for her in the mountains now."
Ye Xiuzhi's face turned pale, and she forced herself to calm down: "Okay, let's go, let's go now, I'll go too."
Chu Song was popular, and when they heard that she was in trouble, everyone was willing to help. So Xiang Baoshu quickly gathered a group of people, divided them into several groups, and started looking for her in a mighty manner.
Chu Song was half leaning on Lu Minglin's shoulder, sleeping soundly, and was woken up by him in a daze.
"Xianxian, wake up quickly, someone is looking for us."
