Chapter 46
Li Yang covered his eyelids with the sleeves of a coat, and his breathing gradually became steady and long.
It felt like I had only slept for twenty or thirty minutes when I was woken up by the sound of someone getting up not far away.
Before he opened his eyes, he habitually pulled at the quilt to wake himself up. He would always cover his head with the quilt when he slept.
When my thoughts became clearer, I remembered that I was outside and had no quilt.
What was he pulling out? Li Yang lowered his chin and saw a thin blanket on his body.
I've driven Zhou Du's car so many times that I wouldn't forget to recognize the blanket in the car.
Li Yang, with sleepy eyes, sat up, folded the blanket and placed it on the picnic mat.
The teachers stood up and asked the children to get up.
A few people who stayed in bed were pulled out.
Liang Tang and Lu Xiaoguo led the children to do some wake-up exercises, and then ran two or three laps around the huge tent. All the children became full of energy, chasing and playing on the grass, some rolling around, and laughing.
After letting them play for a while, Lu Xiaoguo announced the content of this extracurricular practice.
First, with a rhythmic command: "Children, children, good afternoon!"
The kids all shouted in baby voices: "Teacher! Teacher! Good afternoon!"
"Any kids know where we are now?"
Several kids jumped up and raised their hands: "Me, me, me! I know!"
Lu Xiaoguo named a name.
"We're at the camping picnic area!"
"At the Luming Camping Base in Dongshui County!" The monitor of the Lotus Class could recognize many words. When he got off the highway, he saw a sign that said "Dongshui County Station". When he arrived at the camping base, he saw the name of the base written on the arched sign.
It seems that some kids remembered the geographical location because their master, senior brothers and sisters had done their homework and listened to it nearby: "It's in Desheng Mountain in Dongshui County!"
Lu Xiaoguo clapped his hands: "Yes, at the foot of Desheng Mountain in Dongshui County, Nanjiang City."
"Recently, the mountain god of Desheng Mountain has been feeling very troubled. He can't even eat or sleep well. His wife, the mountain god, has quarreled with him and she has even stopped going home."
It easily aroused the curiosity of the gossipy kids, "Why?"
"Because some bad guys came to Desheng Mountain recently and stole the mountain goddess' treasure and hid it in a corner of the mountain."
The cubs' eyes lit up and they exclaimed "Wow".
"Not only that, but some bad guys cut down trees every day. They cut down 2,345 trees a day, disturbing the rest of the mountain god and his men. The mountain god was helpless, and the mountain god's wife got angry and cursed, 'That's all you can do!' Then she went back to her parents' home."
The above are all made up by Lu Xiaoguo.
But the kids believed it without a doubt and said in a fair manner: "It was done by bad guys, why would the Mountain God Grandma be angry with the Mountain God Grandpa?"
Peng Nannan was mysterious and like a little adult: "Oh, you will know when you grow up and get married."
The one who just spoke up was a kid from the Lotus class: "I can't get married when I grow up."
Peng Nannan: "Then you don't understand even more. Women are hard to understand!"
Lu Xiaoguo drew his attention back: "Okay! Kids, the mountain god sent us a letter asking for help. Should we help him?"
"help!!"
"Then we have three tasks in total. The first one is to help the mountain god grow the trees that were cut down."
"The second one is to help the mountain goddess find the treasure. Once the treasure is found, the mountain goddess might be so happy that she will give the treasure to the best child as a reward."
"The third one was requested by the lake god on the east side of Desheng Mountain. He said that because it hasn't rained for a long time, the fish in the lake are very thirsty, and he hopes that we can rescue the fish." As for how to rescue them, Lu Xiaoguo did not tell the method, but let the children use their imagination.
After Lu Xiaoguo issued the tasks, the cubs gathered together.
At first, everyone was talking at once. After a while, Peng Nannan stepped forward and loudly led the students: "Tangwanzi, Zhixuan, Ge Qingqing,..." He called out their names one by one, "You are good at rejuvenation, go and do the first task!"
"Qiu Zhu, Nian Yun, Cheng Cheng,..." Peng Nannan pointed to the east with her little hand, "You are good at water magic, so go help Grandpa Lake God."
Li Dongqiang jumped up and down: "What about me?"
Peng Nannan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "You and I, and the rest of us, go find the treasure!"
It’s not that Peng Nannan is partial, it’s just that the remaining children are the best at finding objects and fortune-telling.
The group of cubs seemed to be running away in a hurry, but in fact, they set off with clear division of labor and each doing their own job!
The teachers did not follow up and left it to them to express themselves freely.
But Wu Qian and the two teachers are worried, “We don’t know what will happen.”
Lu Xiaoguo and Liang Tang looked relaxed.
"Hey, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
This doesn't seem to be the way to use it. Wu Qian was speechless.
Lu Xiaoguo drank juice with a straw in his mouth. "Besides, you chose this spot yourself. You cleared the bad things on the mountain in advance and set up a ban. In the short term, those evil spirits can't enter the mountain. What are you afraid of?"
That being said, the "treasure" was buried by Wu Qian and Liang Tang.
but,
"I'm afraid they will fall and get lost!" Wu Qian is worried about this most basic thing.
Lu Xiaoguo shook his head. "If they fall, there will be kids who will come back to find the teacher. Besides, Li Yang's little paper figurine can find people by smelling their scent. It's not that easy. Don't worry."
Wu Qian thought about it and agreed. She also lay down on the recliner and drank juice.
Zhou Du took the tools for setting up the tent and came to find Li Yang. Li Yang took them and followed him to an open space.
Zhou Du set up the tent, and Li Yang was responsible for hammering the nails into it to secure the tent.
Liang Tang and other male teachers also wanted to help, but ended up making things worse and installed the tent upside down.
So Zhou Du asked them to dismantle it and put it there again, and Liang Tang and others had to join Lu Xiaoguo's sunbathing team.
After setting up the third tent, Li Yang picked up the tools on the grass and walked to the last tent.
Zhou Du went to the place where supplies were placed and got a bottle of juice. He came back, loosened the cap and handed it to Li Yang.
Li Yang took a few sips and put it aside. He saw Zhou Du looking at the sun at 3:30 in the afternoon, wondering what he was thinking.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them. His profile, his nose bridge, and his lip beads were all coated with a layer of soft golden light.
Neither of them spoke.
After many minutes, the two of them stood up in tacit understanding and continued to work.
After they set up the last tent, Liang Tang and others took the initiative to do the finishing work: adding moisture-proof and warm pads to the tent, installing electric lights, and placing sleeping bags.
Dongshui County is at a high altitude, and the temperature in the mountains drops early.
"It's only four in the afternoon and the temperature has dropped. It will be even colder at night. Do you want to ask the boss for a few blankets?"
"Go ahead."
The two male teachers walked to the gate of the base and came back with the boss, who was still driving the small trailer loaded with several blankets.
"The boss said there are no more, just these few," said the male teacher.
Liang Tang carried four quilts to the boy's tent and said, "Take care of the children's first."
There are few girls in the kindergarten, and the remaining two quilts are just enough for them.
Wu Qian took out a long down jacket from her luggage and said, "I'll use this to cover myself tonight. Fortunately, I brought some thick clothes with me."
The other teachers also followed Wu Qian's example and took out their coats, but since they didn't bring long ones, they could only cover their bodies with one and their legs with another.
"Master Li, why are your coats so thin?" Wu Qian had already put on her down jacket. She saw the two coats Li Yang brought. Although they were not as ridiculously thin as autumn clothes, they were definitely not enough to wear in the winter.
Li Yang was sitting on a folding chair and was about to say that he had a high temperature when a thin blanket was thrown into his arms.
It's the blanket I used for my nap at noon.
"He covered mine."
Li Yang looked at Zhou Du and saw him take out a long black down jacket from his suitcase, so he gave up the idea of returning the blanket.
Not far away, Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian looked at Zhou Du with surprised and strange eyes, and then looked at each other.
If eyes were bullet screens, at this moment, Wu Qian's eyes were filled with a line of words: [When did our cold-blooded leader become so kind? ]
Lu Xiaoguo reacted quickly, with a relieved expression, and quietly replied: "He has always been very kind to Master Xiao Li, and he even gave Xiao Li a Nine Yang Thunderwood bracelet so that she can get married and have children smoothly."
"Ah? There is such a thing? I didn't even know about it!" Wu Qian said in a low voice.
Lu Xiaoguo told her some of the things she knew, and the two girls started gossiping.
Wu Qian is more sensitive than Lu Xiaoguo. "But our leader, as you know, is a man of few words. When he speaks to outsiders, he is always mean and venomous. He only offends people. I have never seen him like this before."
"You also said he is an outsider, so Master Xiao Li has been a member of our family for a long time."
Wu Qian still looked incredulous: "But I've never seen him be so attentive to us old employees."
As she was talking, Wu Qian had an even more incredible idea in her mind, and she sorted it out bit by bit: "First of all, we know that the leader and Li Yang have very few interactions, this is a fact, right?"
"hold head high."
"So we always thought it was normal and there was no problem, and we didn't think too much about it. However, since they had little interaction, it was a bit strange for them to be so concerned. Aren't they just strangers? Why did they treat Master Xiao Li like this?"
"It's always been the case that he treats Master Xiao Li differently, and that's true, that's the truth, right?
It was true, but... Lu Xiaoguo was confused by her and asked, "What do you want to say?"
“I want to say that we should change our thinking and open our imagination——
"Is it possible that Zhou Du, Master Xiao Li from Zhou Du,
"Oh, it's him who has ill intentions towards Li Yang!" It only took Wu Qian one second to go from being reserved to giving up on herself.
Lu Xiaoguo's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this possible!"
She believed what she saw very much. She felt that Li Yang and Zhou Du were just getting along normally and there was nothing wrong with them.
"They are under our noses every day. We know everything they do. How could anything happen to make them do that?"
Lu Xiaoguo really believes in the saying that seeing is believing, and thinks that Wu Qian is too wild to have such an idea.
Wu Qian's indifference to her friend has really reached a new level. "How could there be no answer? First of all, they both live on the third floor, and there are only two of them on the third floor. So how can we know what they did when they were not on the first floor?"
"Besides, you know they often go out at night."
Lu Xiaoguo: "Liang Tang told me that they were on a mission, and Master Xiao Li was an intern. It's a work case, isn't it normal?"
Wu Qian brought up another point of her own: "When we are on long vacation and not in the garden, it is Li Yang who looks after the house, right? But as far as I know, the leader rarely goes back to his home in the city, and even if he goes out, he will come back."
"How do you know?" Lu Xiaoguo asked.
Wu Qian: "I watched the surveillance footage of the seven-day National Day holiday."
Lu Xiaoguo was a little shaken by this, but he asked, "Why are you looking at the surveillance?"
Is this the point? "In October, I had only known Master Xiao Li for a month. I wanted to know if he would do anything, like invite friends to the kindergarten to have a party or something like that." Wu Qian said this with a guilty conscience.
Lu Xiaoguo pulled the topic back, but said, "There is only one long vacation this semester, and we can't just use this one to make a point."
Wu Qian was tired and waved her hands to indicate that she didn't want to say anything more.
There's no point in talking to Lu Xiaoguo.
