Chapter 49
Tangwanzi stopped crying, and the cubs also calmed down. The second half of the descent was filled with relaxed laughter.
It was already dark when they returned to the camping base. The Tai Chi teacher had the habit of bringing a lot of yellow talisman paper with him when he went out in case of emergency. This time he came in handy. Zhou Du first drew three talismans for Liang Tang.
The evil spirit penetrated the cloth and corroded the skin, turning it into a bloody mess. Liang Tang took it, lifted up his sleeves, and put it on his hand.
After pasting it, start cooking.
Several other teachers were also more or less affected by the evil spirit. They waved to Zhou Du, indicating that they should focus on the children first.
So the kids lined up, Wu Qian checked their bodies, Zhou Du drew talismans, and Lu Xiaoguo pasted them on the kids' wounds.
The first cub had wounds on its shoulders and buttocks. No one knew which evil spirit was so unsportsmanlike as to bite people's buttocks.
But this scene was too much like a shot or vaccination, and the kids shook their shoulders as they recalled the bad memories. Besides, the kids who had the talisman paper drawn by other teachers pasted on them screamed in pain, so they were very worried about this problem.
After the first cub was pasted with the talisman paper, they couldn't help but ask in unison: "Does it hurt?"
The baby replied: "It doesn't hurt when the head teacher draws. It feels cool, like a mint candy."
Don't worry, kids.
Zhou Du draws talismans very quickly, taking three to four seconds to draw one on average. Lu Xiaoguo's job is also easy. Only Wu Qian needs to be more meticulous and check if there are any omissions.
Everything was done in an orderly manner. Liang Tang had already cooked the noodles, so Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian took the children to eat directly.
Zhou Du distributed the remaining talisman papers to the teachers. Li Yang came over and threw the shoulder bag he was carrying onto the grass. The medium-sized shoulder bag was bulging so much that the things inside moved when it was thrown.
"How do we deal with this?"
Zhou Du kicked the bag into the tent and said, "Give it to the research institute when we get back. They will arrange for a mage to perform a ritual to help the deceased to reach the state of nirvana."
"OK."
Li Yang turned around and went to eat. He ate two bowls of noodles and drank the noodle soup. Liang Tang's barbecue was ready, and he had specially prepared high-protein meat for him, such as chicken wings, beef rolls, and spare ribs.
Li Yang ate it all up.
After the kids had eaten and drunk their fill, the teacher took them into the tent to coax them to sleep. Children get tired easily, especially today. After what happened, they didn't even have the mind or energy to ask the teacher for any reward from the mountain god. In less than five minutes, all the kids fell asleep.
Wu Qian and Lu Xiaoguo came out of the girl's tent. Wu Qian looked like she was crying. "I'm tired too, but I can't sleep. I still have to write a report!"
In the report, in addition to stating what happened today, you should also reflect on why this mistake was made.
It was because she and Liang Tang didn't realize there was a den of demons when they were scouting the place.
Moreover, that demon's den might be the base where those evil spirits hibernate.
In other words, the kid had gone to someone else's hometown.
So when Tangwanzi said it was all his fault, Wu Qian really didn't blame him, she only blamed herself.
The teachers were lying on the lounge chairs next to the bonfire in the middle of the four tents, resting their legs spread out. This bonfire was originally prepared for the children so that they could sing, dance and play games, but now no one was in the mood to organize this activity.
Liang Tang and Wu Qian were typing and writing reports on their mobile phones.
Li Yang went to return the barbecue grill, and when he came back, he was holding a bag of things in his hand.
"What's this?" asked the male teacher of the Tai Chi class.
"The boss of the base gave me these sweet potatoes." Li Yang said, taking out the sweet potatoes one by one, "Do you want to eat them?"
"I'm not in the mood to eat."
Li Yang said nothing and put the sweet potatoes into the firewood pile, thinking of roasting them tonight and heating them up for breakfast tomorrow.
After planting the sweet potatoes, he sat cross-legged on the grass and warmed himself by the fire with the teachers who looked depressed and exhausted.
The teachers didn't speak or move because they had no strength. After a while, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted through the air.
The sad mood was suddenly dispelled by the delicious aroma of food. He immediately became happy and his expression became lively again. He asked Li Yang, "Is it done?"
Li Yang poked the skin of the sweet potato with a thin wooden stick. It was still a little hard. "We need to wait another quarter of an hour."
The two male teachers couldn't wait any longer. "Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw. Give me one quickly."
Li Yang advised them to wait a little longer, "It will taste better when it is fully cooked and runny."
The male teachers were convinced by the word "Liuxin". They had a visual sense and became more greedy, but they could only swallow their saliva and wait for a while.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Yang looked at the sweet potato, poked it, and found it was very soft, so he poked it with a stick, and the sweet potato rolled out from the gap in the firewood pile.
"Okay."
The other teachers were also tempted by the soft, glutinous and rich sweet aroma. After hearing what Li Yang said, they walked over and wrapped the sweet potatoes in paper towels, picked them up and peeled them. The orange-red sweet potato flesh with caramel syrup was revealed. The teachers took a bite and breathed out hot air. They felt extremely happy to eat a piece of roasted sweet potato on a winter night.
Li Yang easily gets tired of sweets, so he just ate a small one to satisfy his craving.
After the teachers had their midnight snack, they washed up and went into the tent to lie down.
There were only two female teachers, so they only rented a small tent. Wu Qian was still writing a report. She typed as she returned to the tent. Lu Xiaoguo was already lying in her sleeping bag, making a seductive pose. "Your Majesty, come in quickly~"
Li Yang was the last one to come back from washing up. When he saw this scene, his expression was indescribable for a moment. When Wu Qian walked into the tent, he took the initiative to help them zip up and put down the windproof curtain.
Back to the male teachers' tent, they had already chosen their positions and placed their sleeping bags. On the far left was the teacher of the Lotus class, in the middle was the teacher of the Tai Chi class, and on the far right were Liang Tang, an empty sleeping bag, and Zhou Du.
The empty sleeping bag was obviously left for him.
Li Yang lowered the windproof curtain, zipped it up, and walked to his black sleeping bag.
There was no pillow, so he folded a coat and placed it over his head before getting into the sleeping bag, cushioning himself with the coat and covered himself with Zhou Du's blanket. He then lay flat on his back with his hands on his chest.
The male teacher near the camping light saw him lying in it, propped up his upper body and said, "Then I turn off the light?"
Everyone was very sleepy and wanted to go to sleep quickly, so a few "hmm" sounds were heard, and the male teacher reached out to turn off the light, and the tent fell into darkness.
Li Yang closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Five minutes later, a long and regular breathing rhythm was heard from the tent, which was a bit hypnotic. Li Yang's eyelids gradually became heavy, but just as he was about to fall asleep, a snoring sound suddenly rang out next to him.
Li Yang was immediately forced to clear his mind for a moment. He opened his eyes, blinked, and then turned towards the snoring.
The snoring was very close to him.
My eyes have gotten used to the darkness and I can see a little better.
He looked at Liang Tang through the darkness, only to see that the fat man was already fast asleep, sleeping very soundly, snoring with his mouth open.
Li Yang was speechless for a moment, then turned his body to the other side and met a pair of narrow eyes with some fragmented light.
"Can't sleep?"
Li Yang is a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest noise in kindergarten.
There is Zhou Dufeng's mute note in the kindergarten dormitory, but at this moment, the mute note cannot be used.
He hummed to Zhou Du, huddled in his sleeping bag, and buried his ears and half of his face in it, hoping to block out some sound.
"Change position?" Zhou Du asked him.
Although the whole tent was filled with the sound of Fatty Liang's snoring, the distance was far enough so that the volume could be reduced, which was better than nothing.
Li Yang didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Du, since Zhou Du didn't sleep much at night anyway.
He nodded.
Zhou Du stood up, picked up his sleeping bag, and wanted to switch places with Li Yang.
No matter how fiery Li Yang's physique was, he would still feel cold when exposed to the winter night temperature outside. Moreover, he had finally warmed up the sleeping bag with his body temperature and was unwilling to go out easily. So he lazily rolled up his sleeping bag and blanket, and rolled to the position Zhou Du had given up.
Still not satisfied, he rolled again and moved to the corner, further away from Liang Tang.
There was a slight rubbing sound of fabric, Zhou Du arranged his sleeping bag and lay down in it.
Li Yang glanced at Zhou Du's profile, then buried his head in the sleeping bag and blanket, ready to fall asleep.
No matter how loud Liang Fatty's snoring is, it is rhythmic and becomes hypnotic white noise once you get used to it.
Li Yang was indeed a little tired today and fell asleep soon.
*
The winter nights were long and the teachers slept for a long time, but they were still woken up by the kids.
The kids opened their own tents and found that there was no one on the grass in the bright daylight. So they secretly opened the teachers' tents and looked at the teachers sleeping with curiosity.
The teachers slept well.
Li Dongqiang put his finger to his mouth and said, "Shh, let's get up by ourselves. Don't wake up the teacher."
The kid behind him nodded sensibly.
Li Dongqiang took them to the water outlet of the base to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
When they came back, they heard some noise outside the tent on the grass, which woke up Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian.
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian got up and walked out of the tent. The other two male teachers of the Lotus Class also came out. Looking at the kids who had taken care of themselves but not completely, they looked at each other and took them to wash their faces again with helplessness.
They bent down and wiped the toothpaste foam from the corners of the younger kids' mouths with cotton towels, then took them back to the tent.
Liang Tang also woke up. He had slept very well. He got up and washed up with the water in his thermos in an open space. Then he went to find the owner of the base to buy ingredients and prepare breakfast.
Only then did Lu Xiaoguo have time to count the adults who had gotten up, and found that Zhou Du and Li Yang were not there.
The kids were laughing and playing, didn't they wake them up?
Lu Xiaoguo casually said, "Why are the boss and Master Xiao Li sleeping so soundly?" Without thinking much, he lifted the curtain of the male teacher's tent, walked in, then took two steps back and stood at the door curtain of the tent.
The curtain was still hanging on her, and Wu Qian was also paying attention, asking, "What's wrong?"
He lifted the curtain covering Lu Xiaoguo and looked inside.
The expressions on the two girls' faces seemed different, yet exactly the same.
All I saw was a young man with messy black hair and fuzzy fur, his eyelids tightly closed, and his sleeping posture extremely casual and restless.
For example, now she is in the shape of a 7, with her lower body covered with a blanket and straight, her upper body folded, and her head resting in the arms of a sleeping man.
The first thing Lu Xiaoguo thought was: I don’t know how I fell into this sleep, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable?
Second moment: So weird, take another look.
In addition to the sleeping bag, Zhou Du was also covered with a black woolen coat, but the coat also covered Li Yang.
Lu Xiaoguo, who believed that seeing is believing, couldn't help but think of what Wu Qian said yesterday.
This time he seemed to have come to an understanding: "Anyway, Zhang Fei won't crawl into Guan Yu's arms when he sleeps."
Wu Qian: "At least Guan Yu won't cover Zhang Fei with the same quilt."
The two of them sang in unison and woke Li Yang up.
Before Li Yang regained consciousness, he heard the two of them talking about Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
He half-closed his eyes, changed his posture and stretched his body.
After he was fully awake, he had no idea how he slept the whole night because he had already left Zhou Du.
He didn't even know that last night, because of his instinctive desire to seek warmth, he kept moving from the corner towards Zhou Du, and finally curled up on Zhou Du.
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian looked at his unresponsive expression and exchanged glances: "It seems that Zhang Fei is already used to him sleeping in Guan Yu's arms."
"Do you think Zhang Fei has the scent of Guan Yu? You have the scent of his arms~~" As he spoke, he started singing.
Li Yang didn't understand at all.
