Chapter 40: Bathing
"Xiaoice, have you found the route?" Li Qinlan asked
"Uh...... It's almost there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You can't read a map, can you?"
"That...... Haha" Li Liubing wiped the sweat on his head and snorted.
"......" The women were very speechless at Li Liubing, seeing that he was holding the map and studying it for a long time, they thought he really understood, but they didn't expect it to be pretending.
"Qinzhu, can you understand?" Li Qinlan snatched the map from Li Liubing's hand, gave him a big roll of his eyes, and turned his head to ask Li Qinzhu.
"I don't understand." Li Qinzhu replied very simply.
"What about you?" Li Qinlan looked at Sister Zhang Jiaying again.
The two women shook their heads at the same time with a tacit understanding.
"Well, what can I do?" Li Qinlan sighed.
Early this morning, Li Liubing and the others were woken up by the whistle of the team leader teacher, and after a group of people gathered together for breakfast, the team leader teacher assigned them tasks and distributed maps, and then the bus drove over and sent each group to the place where their task began.
The first task that Li Liubing's group received was to find a river, and all of them went across the river to get a red flag across the river.
After getting out of the car, Li Liubing took out the map and studied it for a long time, but he didn't understand which direction the river was.
"Show me." Zhang Yan, who was silent, suddenly spoke.
"Sister Zhang Yan, do you know how to look at the map?" Li Qinlan asked with some surprise.
"Well, I've been to a similar camping activity before." Zhang Yan explained as she took the map from Li Qinlan's hand.
Li Liubing noticed that Zhang Yan's tiger mouth was a little calloused, but before he could take a closer look, Zhang Yan had already retracted his hand. Li Liubing retracted his gaze, and several women were all around, and he was embarrassed to always stare at the hands of other girls. It's a little strange in my heart, ordinary people don't give birth to cocoons in the tiger's mouth, could it be that this Zhang Yan has practiced any kung fu? Thinking about it carefully, Li Liubing really couldn't think of anyone in the class who would have such relatives and friends.
"It should be over there." After looking at the map for a while, Zhang Yan stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction.
Except for Zhang Yan, no one else in the crowd could understand this ghostly map, and although they were still a little skeptical, they could only follow her in the direction she pointed to.
************************
"Ah, the direction is right, Sister Zhang Yan, you are so amazing!" Everyone walked for nearly half an hour, and sure enough, a river appeared in front of them, Li Qinlan said with some excitement and admiration.
Zhang Yan just smiled and didn't speak.
"Don't rush to get excited, let's think about how to get over!" Li Qinzhu said more calmly.
"Hmph......" There were outsiders around, and Li Qinlan, who was interrupted by Li Qinzhu, was embarrassed to quarrel with her, but just snorted. Looking at the river on both sides that can not be seen at a glance, Li Qinlan is also difficult, looking at this distance, it is impossible to bypass the river from their position for most of the day, if it is really used, then their group will undoubtedly be the last. There's no way to take a detour, is it a swimmer? But although the water is not very deep, if you walk in, it is estimated that it will not reach the chin of a few women, and people can go through, what about the luggage? Li Qinlan is now beginning to regret why she brought so many things.
"Look, there's a rope over there!" The little girl Xu Lin suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a rope wrapped around the big trees on both sides of the river not far away, but the color was a little gray, which made it difficult for people to find.
Standing in front of the rope, several people made another difficulty. Because Li Liubing and the three of them have too many things, it doesn't matter too much when they walk, but now it's a little troublesome to climb the rope to get over, and Zhang Yan, Zhang Jiaying and Xu Lin all have their own luggage, so naturally they can't help them share it. Li Liubing and the three of them discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Li Qinzhu would carry the clothes, and the equipment of the three would be handed over to Li Qinlan to carry, and Li Liubing would be responsible for the most food they carried.
Zhang Yan was the first to jump on the rope, her movements were very agile, and she was on the other side of the river in a few moments. Several women followed Zhang Yan's movements, and sisters Li Qinzhu and Zhang Jiaying also went to the other side of the river. After Li Liubing waited for Li Qinlan to jump on the rope, he jumped to follow, but he had too many things on him, and as soon as he grabbed the rope, he made it shake.
"Ah......" Li Qinlan's small bag containing the equipment of the three people hanging around his neck fell uncontrollably, and when he saw that he was about to slide into the water, Li Qinlan hurriedly reached out to grab it, but forgot that he was on the rope, the strap of the small bag was caught, but his body lost his balance and fell into the water. Li Liubing was shocked, he didn't care about shocking the world, hung his feet upside down on the rope, and stretched out his hands to grab Li Qinlan's feet. Li Qinlan avoided falling into the water, but the several large bags of food that Li Liubing hung on his arm fell into the water. However, Li Liubing didn't have time to pay attention to that, he pulled Li Qinlan up little by little, and finally held him in his arms, his waist was forced, his body swung up, and his other hand grabbed the rope again, and slowly moved his body to the other side of the river.
"Are you alright?" Several women hurriedly gathered around, Li Qinzhu took Li Qinlan's hand and asked worriedly.
"Yes." Li Qinlan nodded, but her face was still a little pale, obviously frightened just now.
Sisters Li Qinzhu and Zhang Jiaying finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Qinlan was fine, while Zhang Yan looked at Li Liubing thoughtfully, with a hint of inexplicable meaning flashing in her eyes.
"Sister...... Brother Li, you are so amazing! The little girl Xu Lin began to have stars in her eyes again, and just wanted to call "brother-in-law", but was glared at by Zhang Jiaying, and quickly changed her words.
"It's all my fault, the food was washed away by the water...... Li Qinlan relieved herself from her fright and began to blame herself.
"It's okay, Sister Qinlan." Li Liubing hurriedly comforted.
"Yes, Sister Qinlan, we brought a lot of food, which should be enough for a few of us to eat." Zhang Jiaying also came over to persuade her, and at the same time took the opportunity to get closer to Li Qinlan.
"Let's go and complete the mission first, or it's getting dark!" Li Qinzhu reminded everyone that business is important.
A few people still had a task to complete, so they quickly dispersed to find the red flag.
Fortunately, the location of the red flag was not hidden, and several people found it with a little search.
Next, a few people completed a few tasks according to the instructions through the intercom, and it was dark, and the team leader teacher no longer issued tasks, informing everyone to set up a tent on the spot to rest, and the competition would continue the next day.
Li Liubing and the others set up their tents and sat around the open space to eat dinner. Zhang Jiaying took out the food she brought and distributed it to everyone, and after everyone was full, they went back to their tents to rest.
********************
Li Liubing and his two sisters returned to the tent and were just about to lie down to rest, but they saw Li Qinlan wanting to say something.
"Sister Qinlan, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Hmm. That one...... I want to take a bath. Li Qinlan said with a little blush.
"Take a bath?" Li Qinlan's request made Li Liubing a little big. For a girl who loves cleanliness, not taking a bath after doing strenuous exercise in the hot summer is even more uncomfortable than taking her life, so Li Liubing really wants to meet her requirements, but in this barren mountains and forests, how can there be a place for people to take a bath?
"It's uncomfortable to die, I also want to take a bath, or let's go to the river in the morning to wash, Xiaoice, you come and help us take the wind." Li Qinzhu suggested loudly.
"Yes, yes!" Li Qinlan immediately agreed to Li Qinzhu's proposal.
"Okay." Li Liubing nodded helplessly and agreed.
said hello to Sister Zhang Jiaying, and the two of them were obviously a little moved, but they were a little embarrassed because Li Liubing was also there, but under Li Qinlan's repeated invitations, the two of them also agreed half-pushed. I have to say that Zhang Jiaying's series of overtures to Li Qinlan have brought the relationship between the two closer, and Li Qinlan no longer rejects Zhang Jiaying, of course, if the matter involves Li Liubing, it will have to be said separately......
Li Qinzhu wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Li Liubing, but he didn't expect two more people, although he was a little disappointed, he didn't say anything.
The fourth daughter invited Zhang Yan again, but Zhang Yan said that she wanted to stay and watch things. Several people no longer forced her, took a change of clothes, and walked together in the direction of the river......
