In fact, Xu Yan didn't want to go with Situ Xiao at all, but the problem was that Chen Yaoyu made an agreement with Situ Xiao by himself, and he didn't even have room for opposition, so he could only follow behind with a wry smile and a drooping head.

The four of them chatted side by side, because only Situ Xiao and Chen Yaoyu spoke, and as a result, everyone walked and walked into Chen Yaoyu and Situ Xiaoxiao and walked in front of each other, while Xu Yan and Gong Xueting were pulled behind.

Seeing Gong Xueting walking silently beside him, Xu Yan sighed in his heart, and he asked, "Classmate Xueting, how are you doing lately?"

As if she didn't expect Xu Yan to take the initiative to talk to herself, Gong Xueting raised her head, but she immediately reacted and smiled: "Yes, I'm doing well." Are you okay?"

"Hmm......" There were obviously a lot of things he wanted to say to Gong Xueting, but Xu Yan just couldn't find a suitable topic, he hesitated, and still asked: "Classmate Xueting, you and Teacher Situ ...... Well, that...... Are you dating?"

Xu Yan didn't finish asking, but Gong Xueting obviously understood what he wanted to ask, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Classmate Xu Yan, you ask girls this kind of question...... It's just too much. ”

Then, she raised her head, a white melon seed face was sprinkled with sunlight, she hesitated, as if she had made up her mind, looked up at Xu Yan, and asked calmly: "You also know about me and Teacher Situ, Xu Yan, right?"

Xu Yan said "uh-huh" a few times, [scolding in my heart - Xu Yan, you are the number one fool in the world!]

Gong Xueting smiled, her smile was very pure: "I know, Xu Yan, you have always cared about me...... Well. I'm in a relationship with him, but I haven't decided on a relationship yet. Because. After all, he has the status of a teacher, and I am still a student in school. This relationship between the two of us is still a bit taboo.

But we agreed that in two years, when I graduated, we would confirm the relationship. I guess at that time, things will fall into place. ”

Hearing Gong Xueting say this, Xu Yan's heart was sour, it was really indescribable, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Hehe." Congratulations, Xueting. However, if you can imagine what will happen after graduation, Xue Ting, you really think about it for the long term. ”

"Hehe, he said, people have to think long-term. He said that after graduation, he hoped to take me abroad to study for a master's degree, and he would return to the United States to continue his doctoral studies...... Let's go together. But. I really can't make up my mind to go to the United States, after all, I have always grown up in a domestic environment, and if I go there. I'm not familiar with the language and environment, but I'm afraid I can't adapt to it. ”

Gong Xueting said very worried words, but listened to her tone. But it was full of leaping joy, and every word was engraved in Xu Yan's heart like a knife. His heart was like a knife, but he still had to pretend to be calm to comfort her: "Classmate Xueting." It doesn't matter to you. You're smart, you're strong, you're very adaptable, and I think even if you get to the U.S., you'll be able to adapt to life there very quickly.

Gong Xueting smiled happily, and she said, "I hope so, but I'm really a little worried." I heard that when he came back, several American companies had already sent him offers, but I went there, and I couldn't even speak English well, so I really didn't know what to do. No, I can only help the restaurant wash the dishes and wash the dishes when I get there. ”

"I heard that your English is pretty good, and you passed the sixth level in your sophomore year...... And I heard that the score is still very high. ”

"I passed the sixth level, but the English in the books has not been practiced, and there is still a lot of gap between the English in the books and the actual English. Over there, a lot of things I don't understand. ”

"Don't worry, I have a friend who originally had a junior high school education, and he only knew 'hello' and 'ok' in English, but his parents had money, and sent him to Australia to study, and it only took three or two months for him to be able to scold foreign devils in English over there - in fact, language is a thing, as long as there is that atmosphere and environment, it is still very quick to master. ”

Gong Xueting smiled: "Yes, he also told me the same, but I'm a stupid person, and I can't compare with others." ”

"Hehe, if you are stupid, Xueting, there will be no smart people in the world. Xu Yan laughed at himself: "People like me are really called stupid......, right? Hehe, forget it. ”

Gong Xueting paused at her feet, she turned her head, stared at Xu Yan intently, and said calmly: "Classmate Xu Yan, you are not stupid, you are too kind." I've always felt lucky to know you and be your friend. ”

Xu Yanxin was bitter, but he couldn't say anything, he lowered his head and walked silently, Gong Xueting was by his side, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally, she whispered: "The Yaoyu classmate in our dormitory is actually a very good girl." Xu Yan, you should seize the opportunity to find your own true happiness. ”

Xu Yan raised his head suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Uh, Xueting, what do you mean? Today, I and Yaoyu are pretending, not the real one...... Friend. ”

Gong Xueting said leisurely: "Of course I know, Yaoyu specially came to me to explain in advance, and the sisters in our dormitory know it, but-" She turned to Xu Yan with a smile in her eyes: "-This also shows that at least Yaoyu feels good about you, right? We know Yaoyu, she is a very careful and particular girl, if she doesn't have a good impression of you, she will never let you play this, otherwise she can't accept it psychologically." ”

Xu Yan snorted, he said, "Xueting, your imagination is too rich. You say other people, that's still possible, but Yaoyu-san, and I, that's impossible. ”

"Huh, why then?"

"There are some things that involve the privacy of Yaoyu, and it is inconvenient for me to tell you, but you can know that Yaoyu's family is not an ordinary person, and it is impossible for her to fall in love with an ordinary person like me. ”

Gong Xueting glanced leisurely at the outside of the woods, where Xu Yan's Audi off-road vehicle was placed. She smiled faintly: "In my opinion, Xu Yan, your family background is also very good, and you are not an ordinary person, right?"

In Gong Xueting's opinion. Owning an Audi SUV should be considered a sign of a rich man. Only Xu Yan knew how big the gap was between herself and Chen Yaoyu - she casually took out two million to reward herself. That's enough money to buy two off-road vehicles.

"Ashamed, ashamed. I'm a nouveau riche, isn't it a little bit that has missed from people's fingers......" Xu Yan was about to continue, but at this time, Situ Xiao in front suddenly shouted: "Xu Yan, Xue Ting, you come up and have a look." ”

The two quickened their pace and walked forward quickly, only to see Chen Yaoyu and Situ Xiao standing on the edge of a forest path. Situ Xiao squatted down and stared at the ground very attentively.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Situ, classmate Yaoyu, have you picked up the money?" ”

Situ Xiao stood up, he shook his head and said, "It's good to pick up the money, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Xu Yan, come and take a look. ”

Xu Yan walked up quickly when he heard the sound, and looked up at the ground following the sound, but he was slightly shocked - on the yellow-brown sand. Suddenly there was a line of bright red, shocking bloodstains, very long, drop by drop, all the way to the depths of the woods.

The blood stains were red. Xu Yan carefully picked a grass root, and found that the blood was still sticky and had not coagulated.

He looked up. He glanced at Situ Xiao, and then looked at the depths of the woods where the bloodstains stretched past.

Situ smiled solemnly and asked, "Understood?"

"Got it - I guess it's only ten minutes at most?"

"They're in a hurry!"

"Teacher Situ. Would you like to tell everyone?"

"But the situation is not clear, and I am afraid that it will cause panic. It swept everyone's interest. ”

"I think it's dangerous, and it's always good to give a warning. ”

Watching the two men play dumb riddles back and forth, the two girls don't know why. Chen Yaoyu couldn't help but ask out loud, "Teacher Situ, Xu Yan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

Xu Yan and Situ smiled at each other, Xu Yan shook his head: "Let's ask Teacher Situ to explain." I'm also half-toned, and I don't know much about these things. ”

Situ Xiao didn't shirk, he said: "Actually, I don't know much, if it's wrong, classmate Xu Yan will help me correct it - classmate Yaoyu, this pool of blood on the ground should be human blood." ”

Chen Yaoyu frowned: "How can you see it? There are also a lot of wild animals in the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area, there are monkeys, wild boars or something, those animals are injured, and they are also likely to bleed." ”

Situ Xiao and Xu Yan looked at each other and smiled, looking at the girls, they had a "sense of superiority in IQ". Teacher Situ Xiao said gently: "There are indeed a lot of wild animals in the scenic area, but have you noticed Yaoyu, there are no animal footprints near this line of bloodstains, but human footprints - you see, there are footprints here, and they are stepping on bloodstains, and it is obvious that it is a pair of sneakers." ”

Seeing the footprints of the sneakers, Chen Yaoyu's face turned slightly red - it's really strange, I saw these things myself, but I didn't expect anything to come, Xu Yan and Situ Xiao just glanced at it, and noticed that it was a person's footprints?

What Chen Yaoyu didn't expect was that this was the difference in the way of thinking between men and women - men are used to thinking rationally about problems, just like Xu Yan and Situ Xiao, when they saw this pool of blood, their first reaction was to ask in their minds, "Is this human or animal blood?"

Chen Yaoyu asked, "Then, you say it's dangerous...... What does that mean?"

Xu Yan didn't want Chen Yaoyu to be too embarrassed, he told her: "Yaoyu, what Teacher Situ means is this, generally speaking, after a person's blood leaves the human body, in this kind of weather and temperature, it should coagulate in more than ten minutes. But now we see that the blood is still a sticky paste, indicating that the injured person has not been here for long, only about ten minutes. And in terms of the amount of bleeding, the other party's injuries were not light - this is very suspicious, Yaoyu, you know, ten minutes ago, it was the time when we first arrived here, and those injured people should have seen us coming and left.

Teacher Situ and I both felt that these injured people were afraid that the number of roads was a little wrong and dangerous. ”

Chen Yaoyu let out an "oh" in her heart, secretly admiring Xu Yan's meticulous observation in her heart, but she was still not convinced, she said: "Even so." So what? Maybe someone got injured in an accident. Do you want to leave and find a place to heal?"

Situ Xiao interjected: "This reason doesn't make sense. If they wanted to call for help, we drove up the hill. Isn't that the best person to call for?"

Chen Yaoyu seemed to be intent on carrying it to the end, she said: "This is maybe, Mr. Situ, what if the injured other party is just an ordinary tourist, he didn't find us, but just happened to leave at this time period? Or he found us, but didn't want to ask us for help, this may also be there? After all, the society is complicated now, and they may be worried that we are bad people."

was refuted by Chen Yaoyu. Situ Xiao didn't look angry, but smiled: "Yaoyu's thinking is very logical, it's really good-Xu Yan, can you help her explain?"

Xu Yan sighed: "Yaoyu, think about it, if you are an ordinary tourist and you are injured while playing, where should you go at this time?"

Chen Yaoyu blurted out: "Naturally, it's time to go down the mountain and find a hospital and a doctor!" Chen Yaoyu suddenly understood: if the other party wants to go down the mountain, they should go down the mountain road. But looking at these blood marks and footprints now, the other party is going to go to a higher woods.

I was hurt, but I didn't want to go down the mountain to ask for help. Instead, you should avoid tourists and go higher into the mountains. The other party was indeed a little strange - Chen Yaoyu couldn't help but secretly admire Xu Yan and Situ Xiao, thinking that a man is a man after all. When encountering such an unexpected situation, they are much more sensitive and aware of danger than women.

Gong Xueting asked in a low voice, "That Situ teacher." Xu Yan, should we tell my classmates about this?"

Xu Yan and Situ Xiao glanced at each other, and Situ smiled and said: "I think it should be said, even if it is a false alarm in the end, at least we should remind everyone, don't go too deep during the game, don't go out alone, safety should still be the first priority." ”

At that moment, the four of them immediately turned their heads and walked towards the grass outside the woods.

On the grass outside the woods, three large camping tents have been set up, around which the boys and girls are busy setting up stoves and preparing lunch. They found the organizer of the event - that person, Xu Yan also happened to have met, but it was Li Rui, who had just met at the school gate.

Gong Xueting and Chen Yaoyu found Li Rui and talked to him for a while. At first, Li Rui still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem very relieved, but gradually, his smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became stern.

They discussed for a few minutes, and Li Rui also came over, and then, he said politely: "Teacher Situ, and this classmate Xu, I heard Chen Yaoyu and Gong Xueting say that you found some bloody footprints in the forest?"

Situ Xiao didn't answer and asked: "Li Rui, right? You organized this event, right?"

Li Rui nodded, and he said: "The activity is discussed by everyone, and I am the sports committee member of the class, responsible for some liaison work." Wang Lu is the deputy squad leader, and he is the person of the organization. ”

"That's good, you quickly call everyone back, tell everyone about the matter, let everyone be vigilant, don't go away - in this barren mountains and mountains, there is no trivial matter, we should be careful. ”

Faced with Situ Xiao's dual identity as a teacher and an adult, Li Rui had no intention of resisting at all, and he had to call someone if he did.

But at this time, the troublemakers came out again-Wang Lu came over, just in time to hear Situ Xiao's words. Seeing that Li Rui was about to go away and call someone, Wang Lu stopped him, and said: "Wait a minute, Li Rui - Teacher Situ, you are not so strict, right? Maybe a tourist fell and injured himself, then it is also possible, right? ”

Situ Xiao was not annoyed, he said calmly: "Classmate Wang Lu, what you said is indeed possible, but if things are not as you say, it will be very dangerous for the students." Wang Lu, as the student leader of the class and the organizer of the event, you must be responsible for the safety of your classmates, so my opinion is to immediately gather everyone back and explain the situation to everyone. ”

"But it's mostly just a false alarm......

"Classmate Wang Lu, even if it's a false alarm, it's better than an accident, isn't it? We call the classmates back and explain the matter clearly to them, and it will only delay everyone for a few minutes, compared with the safety of the classmates, which is more important, isn't it obvious?"

Seeing Situ Xiao talking to Wang Lu so tepidly, Xu Yan couldn't help but admire his self-cultivation - Xu Yan also saw that Wang Lu was purely looking for trouble. He doesn't necessarily have any opinions, but he just likes to pick other people's thorns to show that he is high, and step on others to lift himself.

Situ Xiao should have seen it, but from beginning to end, he was always smiling, his tone was calm, and he didn't use his identity as a teacher to force the other party, but just reasoned very calmly and patiently persuaded the other party - Xu Yan felt that he definitely didn't have this steady psychological quality and patience.

Xu Yan glanced at Gong Xueting next to him, and sighed in his heart: Probably, this is the difference between a mature man and a hairy young man like himself.

Situ smiled and said reasonably, but Wang Lu was also speechless, speechless.

As a result, the students present scattered in all directions, some shouting loudly, and some took out their phones to dial the phone. After receiving the notice, the students turned back from various places in the mountains and forests and gathered in the clearing. (To be continued......) R1292
