Chapter 66
This time the campsite was located in a mountainous area with cool weather. Tao Luanxi did not use the various sunscreens and sunscreen sprays that his mother had prepared before he went out. On the contrary, there was a lot of rain in the mountainous area. Although Tao Luanxi brought an umbrella, if he really wanted to carry out activities outside, he would have to run and jump, and the umbrella would be of no use at all.
The plastic raincoats distributed by the camp were too light and not breathable. Not only could I not wear the hat when I started running, but I also broke out in a sweat and the fabric stuck to my skin, which was very uncomfortable.
In the heavy rain, everyone was wearing the same clothes and raincoats, and it was impossible to tell who was who. Tao Luanxi followed the team on the mountain road, cursing in his heart that the person who designed the activity was an idiot!
Today's activity is said to be the specialty of this camp. A map with nine landmarks was designed according to the complex terrain of the mountain area. Each school was divided into teams for running exercises. They had to find the landmarks as quickly as possible and then gather at the designated location on the map. The top three teams would be selected based on their speed of gathering and the number of correct landmarks they found, and extra points would be awarded to the teams.
It was cloudy when we went out today. Not long after the teacher in charge gave the order, heavy rain poured down, soaking the group of students and making them at a loss.
His hair was completely wet, and stuck to his scalp. Tao Luanxi held up his messy wet hair, resisted the urge to overturn the table, and went to the back of a brick house to look for a landmark.
"There's one here." Tao Luanxi pointed to a place, turned around and shouted behind him.
Shen Conglin was already soaked through. He was in charge of taking pictures. The raincoat given by the camp was all used to hold the precious camera in his hand. The rain hitting his face made it almost impossible to open his eyes.
"Is this it?" Tao Luanxi squinted and compared it with the map.
"No matter if it is or not, just take the picture first."
This is a small side road. When the two people finished taking pictures and walked back, there was no one to be seen on the main road.
"Let's go. It's just you and me. There's no choice." Shen Conglin smiled lightly and walked slowly on the road holding the camera.
Tao Luanxi was annoyed, and seeing this man's smile made her even more annoyed: "Can you be faster?"
"I want to, but you have to protect the camera. After all, it belongs to the camp. If it breaks, you'll have to pay for it."
Tao Luanxi rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Shen Conglin was different. He tried his best to say a few words to Tao Luanxi.
"The tall guy from your school is called Qiu Yi, right? Your boyfriend?"
"It has something to do with you."
"What a pity. If I had known earlier, I should have transferred to your No. 1 High School. Maybe I could have gotten to know you better than him."
"Shen Conglin," Tao Luanxi said coldly, "I'm not interested in you. If you want to play, find someone else."
"But I just want to find you, what can I do?" Shen Conglin blinked: "I don't think you are born gay. This is your first time with your current boyfriend. How can you know that other men are not good if you don't try a few more like you?"
Tao Luanxi clenched and unclenched his fists. Shen Conglin saw it all and his face became even more smug. He guessed that people like Tao Luanxi were self-reliant and would not easily fight with others even if they were angry. So he simply took a few steps forward. There were rocks behind Tao Luanxi. Shen Conglin said in an ambiguous voice: "I say, there are not many people here right now, why don't we give it a try? Maybe I'm better than your boyfriend--"
Before he could finish his words, a heavy punch hit Shen Conglin in the face. Shen Conglin took a few steps back and the camera almost fell from his hands.
"you--!"
Tao Luanxi shook his hand, rubbing it and staring at him with a cold and arrogant look: "You should be thankful that it wasn't Qiu Yi who hit you. That guy's hand is much heavier than mine."
Shen Conglin covered his face. His chin was numb and painful but there was no bleeding. Perhaps it was just like Tao Luanxi said, he really didn't hit him hard enough.
Tao Luanxi turned around and walked forward, hoping to catch up with the large group in front and stay away from this guy. However, after a while, he still heard footsteps following closely behind him.
Tao Luanxi stopped and turned back to glare at him. Shen Conglin immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to follow you. The road is so wide and we are all going in the same direction. You have to give me a chance to go back!"
The hand-drawn map in hand only had a few simple landmarks, which was basically useless. The two of them could only walk by feeling. The smell of rain gradually mixed with a strange smell. Tao Luanxi frowned: "What smell?"
"Cow poop." Shen Congliun frowned and pinched his nose, pointing to a fork in the road that meandered upward not far ahead. Two yellow cows were lying across the intersection, leisurely nibbling on the grass on the rocks.
"Damn, it can't be this way, there's excrement all along the way, how can we get through? Besides, we can't get through here!" Shen Conglin pointed to the main road and said, "Let's just keep going!"
Tao Luanxi also frowned and looked over there. The road was very narrow, and the steps leading up the mountain were made of flat stones from the mountain. It was probably a road made by the mountain people themselves for the convenience of going up the mountain. Thinking that the camp would not choose this kind of road for the safety of the students, Tao Luanxi thought again and again, and still did not turn, and kept walking along the main road.
Not long after walking, the originally wide cement road became narrower and narrower, and there were more and more vines on the stone walls beside the road. It didn't look like people came here often. Shen Conglin walked slowly: "Did we pass by here?"
Tao Luanxi didn't want to pay attention to him. He looked around carefully with a cold face. On the other side of the road was a small steep slope with a few scattered wheat fields below, but no houses could be seen.
Tao Luanxi walked forward a few steps, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is that thing in the middle of the field below a landmark?"
Shen Conglin squinted his eyes and looked for a long time: "It seems so." After that, he stretched his foot and took a step up the steep slope. The ground was slippery on rainy days, and Shen Conglin was not careful and almost fell down with his camera.
"Damn it!" Shen Conglin steadied himself and took a half step back: "This is too dangerous! Does the person in charge here have the brains to design a place like this?"
Tao Luanxi glanced at him coldly. How could this timid look be compared to Qiu Yi?
"Give me the camera!" behind Tao Luanxi.
"Fuck, are you sure?" Shen Conglin handed the camera to him: "It's a valuable item, keep it carefully."
The camera was not light, and holding it in his hand meant that he only had one hand to hold on to the exposed rocks on the ground to maintain balance. Tao Luanxi half-crouched and walked slowly down. It was indeed difficult, but not impossible.
After safely crossing into the wheat field, Tao Luanxi breathed a sigh of relief, found the ground along the ridge, and took photos smoothly.
"Awesome!" Shen Conglin squatted on the side of the road and stretched out his hand to Tao Luanxi: "Give me the camera first!"
Tao Luanxi stretched out his hand to pass it to him. There was still a difference of a few centimeters between the two of them. Tao Luanxi had already tried his best to push it up along the steep slope, while Shen Conglin just squatted on the side of the road and refused to move forward even a step.
"Why don't you move forward a little bit!" Tao Luanxi already had one foot on the rocks on the steep slope, and his face turned red from the effort of raising his foot.
"I'm just afraid of falling on you!"
Tao Luanxi was angry and helpless. Seeing that his other foot had also stepped on a stone, he handed the camera to Shen Conglin.
“Got it!”
When Shen Conglin called out, Tao Luanxi's feet loosened and he slid down instantly!
