Chapter 20: The River Under the Cliff
With Coach Li Yuan's order, the large army immediately stopped. It's just that everyone looks like they're almost exhausted.
"Oops!
"It's been almost a long time! I haven't done anything. Aside from walking or walking, is this a mock test?"
"I think I'd better just go back and waste time in the woods. ”
The students' complaints rang out one after another. But the two coaches were extremely unimpressed. Especially Li Yuan, who closed his eyes and gouged out his ears, sat down next to a big tree full of embosses.
"If you have any opinions, you can move on, and Coach Yu Jianshu and I will never object. ”
"Yes, if someone wants to go back, that's fine. But if we leave the army and are attacked by some beast, then we are not responsible!" Yu Jianshu also made a remark in a coy manner.
"And the beasts? We've been wandering around this woodland for hours, and we haven't even met half of the beasts. One of the students questioned.
"I can't say for sure. I can't guarantee that when you walk alone, you will be targeted by a few wild beasts. After all, beasts also have brains, and they specialize in picking the weak to attack. Coach Li Yuan leaned back on the big tree and changed to a cross-legged sitting position.
"So, Coach. Can we meet the beasts here? Can we do a good job of the outskirts mock test?"
"I don't know! It's not something I can control. ”
Just after Li Yuan spread his hands casually and answered the students' questions perfunctorily, a few 'boos' echoed in the forest.
After separating from the garden surveyors, there was no shortage of discussions about those people in the team. But as time passed, and after walking aimlessly like headless flies for a long time, the students quickly pointed the finger at the instructor again.
Zhao Yu also felt upset, and the team walked for nearly an hour after that, but the result was still that they didn't encounter any beasts. Zhao Yu thought that he should just go back to Vortex Town, and don't take any more tests, anyway, this is just an established procedure. What's the point of dragging here? Zhao Yu bit his lip lightly, not wanting to look at their coach again.
But Liang Chaowei reminded that the coach also has a hard time. Because just go for a casual walk in the woods, it is equivalent to fulfilling the task of mock tests. And if they go back now, it means that they have interrupted their responsibilities for no reason.
To put it in layman's terms, it is to let the students in the woods, symbolically looking for a day of beasts. It is not possible to find an objective factor, and their coach is not responsible. But if the team goes back halfway, it means that the test is not completed.
In short, the two coaches can shirk the responsibility. If asked, Zhao Yu guessed that they would also answer like this.
"I've taken them to the forest outside town, but I haven't found any beasts. It's not my responsibility, it's the beasts that don't come out. ”
Among them, Zhao Yu also thought that Coach Li Yuan would shrug his shoulders and spread his hands, making an extremely innocent appearance.
After more than two years of contact, Zhao Yu still knows their coach well. Anyway, he didn't experience the slightest bit of coaching responsibility from Li Yuan.
However, since the coach said to rest, Zhao Yu still agreed. After walking for so long, he felt a little tired, and besides, there was such a frightening thing that happened before.
It was almost noon, and the sun overhead was shining brightly. However, most of the daylight is blocked by the leafy forests overhead, so the surface is still gloomy.
Most of the students also thought of having lunch after noticing this time slot. After hours of walking, they had basically exhausted the food they had eaten in the morning.
So, the students sat in groups of three and took out their lunch boxes from the packages. A few female students also liked to be clean, covering a huge rag on the ground, and then putting the delicacies brought by the lunch box and so on.
It gives you the feeling of camping in the countryside.
"Wow, are you quite rich in the food you brought in the past few days?"
Just as Li Yuan took out his lunch box from the package he brought, Yu Jianshu couldn't help but tease.
"Oh, where is it?" Li Yuan kept waving his hand. It's just that although he said this, there was an unusual smile on his face.
After seeing that the lunch box in Li Yuan's hand was relatively small and the color was still pink, Yu Jianshu grinned meaningfully.
"Hey, don't you tell me that this box was prepared by the woman you just brewed?"
After hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly pressed his head to his knees, and his body began to twitch violently. His smirk could be clearly heard, and he looked very ambitious.
Yu Jianshu shoved Li Yuan with his elbow, "What are you kid talking about? Hey, tell me, is this time serious, or is it a show?"
I don't know if Yu Jianshu's pushing action was too strong, or the problem was too sharp, Li Yuan suddenly stopped laughing. He lifted his head violently, and the lunch box he was carrying in his hand almost overturned.
"What the hell is going on with you? Why are you telling you!
"Oops...... You ......" Yu Jianshu pointed directly at the tip of Li Yuan's nose.
In fact, I don't know these two coaches, everyone is talking and laughing. After observing the people around him, Zhao Yu felt that they seemed to be out for a trip today.
Walking to the edge of the line, Zhao Yu stopped. He chose this place as a stop for lunch. All the while, he didn't like to be too exposed to crowds. Therefore, whether it is a normal trial, or like today, he will choose to stay at the edge of the crowd as much as possible.
Grinding the ground with weeds around him with his feet, Zhao Yu nodded out of thin air. Okay, that's it, and he stomped heavily on the ground.
After finding a place to stay, Zhao Yu habitually looked around from afar. In addition to the trees and weeds all over the ground, which are common scenes in the woods, Zhao Yu found that on his left side, there was a row of long grass that was almost up to his chest.
These weeds were like long needles that rushed to the sky, almost blocking Zhao Yu's vision to look behind them. And he also found a problem, that is, there was no forest behind the long grass pile, as if it had been cut out of thin air.
This is also strange, Zhao Yu thought about walking over there with a long haystack. After walking in front of the haystack, he tried to break the haystack to both sides with both hands. Because the haystack was so dense, he couldn't see the ground on the other side of the haystack.
With the sound of the swinging grass pile of 'Xili Xili' sounded, Zhao Yu opened up a line from it. As his gaze passed over the center of the weeds he had broken on either side, he suddenly shuddered and gasped.
It turned out that on the other side of the long haystack, there was a cliff several meters deep. He felt only dizzy and barely stood still. No wonder the grass is wooded on one side and nothing on the other.
However, Zhao Yu did not immediately retreat. Somehow, he leaned forward on tiptoe and continued to observe the scene under the cliff.
This may also be because he has never been out of Vortex Town, and he is full of novelties in the outside world! Zhao Yu blamed his current actions on this reason.
Wow! When he observed the scene under the cliff in depth, he couldn't help but show an emotional and intoxicated face.
The green forests are connected like a net, and you can enjoy the spread of sunlight. It is also different from the woods where Zhao Yu almost blocks the light source, and the one there seems to be looser, allowing the sunlight to penetrate the entire earth.
It turns out that the forest is not just synonymous with gloomy! Zhao Yu's mouth opened slightly.
However, as he slowly drew his gaze closer, he suddenly pursed his lips. Just below the cliffs, there is a wide flowing river. It flows in an easterly direction, and at first glance it seems to be quite turbulent. Zhao Yuzhi was able to come to this conclusion mainly because the river was full of white foam floating.
Of course, there are several reefs dotted into the river. The reef protrudes above the water level and is being relentlessly washed by the extremely fast currents of the river.
Zhao Yu continued to observe the direction of the river's flow to the east, but found that the river was soon coming to an end. Because there is a recessed waterfall set up there. The waterfall is like a greedy beast, engulfing all the water it brings.
There is really a feeling of a cave, Zhao Yu summed up the feelings from the discovery of the cliff to the observation of the waterfall.
However, some bad thoughts also followed. Zhao Yu swallowed at the turbulent river. If this man falls, won't he be carried away by the river? His heart seemed to be beating faster.
If a man didn't pay attention, he hurried through this row of long haystacks. Then he's going to fall off a cliff. Falling into the river below the cliff, you will soon be stunned by the rushing river until you are swallowed up by the waterfall.
In short, Zhao Yu shook his head, the person who fell off the cliff must be more than lucky! But just when he made some sure words, he suddenly realized that there was a problem. Even if there is no river, is it not the same to fall down a cliff a few meters deep? he twitched the corners of his mouth, realizing that he was overthinking.
Zhao Hui then prepared to retract his head and return to his normal standing movements. Which, just as he was about to do so, a shout sounded behind him.
"Hey! Zhao Yu. ”
This cry made Zhao Yu suddenly confused. He panicked and his legs went limp, and his hands quickly fell into the air. The camera in front of him flew forward like a flip, and he seemed to fall headlong under the precipice.
"Hey...... Feed...... You!"
The shouting behind him also became full of panic, corresponding to Zhao Yu's distraction.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Zhao Yu quickly used the twisting power of his waist. He quickly threw himself back, barely holding his balance.
Regaining his thoughts, he breathed a long sigh of relief at the cliff in front of him.
"Zhao Yu, are you okay?" Liang Chaowei asked as he walked towards the cliff.
After patting his chest, Zhao Yu turned around, "It's okay." But soon, his gaze shifted to anger, "Hey, what's your name? ”
"What are you looking at here?"
Asked by Liang Chaowei, Zhao Yu pouted in the rear: "I'm looking here." Behind is a cliff. ”
"Really?" Liang Chaowei copied Zhao Yu's action of picking up the grass with both hands just now after walking to the long grass pile. After a few glances at the cliff, Liang Chaowei's face became a little ugly. He took a few steps back and shook his head quickly: "It's too dangerous here, it's better not to get close." ”
Zhao Yu scratched his arm, and there was a noticeable itching sensation there. "Yes, yes!"
The two kept their distance from the cliff. walked to the position where Zhao Yu stepped on the spot just now, and Zha Hongliang was already sitting here.
"Zhao Yu, you really scared me just now!" Liang Chaowei patted Zhao Yu's shoulder.
"You're embarrassed to say it, but you scared me a lot. Because of your screaming, it almost made me fall off a cliff. ”
The two sat down opposite each other as they spoke. Zha Hongliang sat cross-legged next to him, he lowered his head and poked the mud with the grass he had picked.
"Who knew you'd be standing there! It's a cliff, and you're so curious to look around. I thought you saw something funny?" Liang Chaowei took his package and pulled out a bowl of lunch box from it.
"I just got a little bit of emotion at the view. ”
"Anyway, you better be careful! don't go near the cliffs, it's dangerous. Also, it's not safe here, it's just a few steps from the cliff. Liang Chaowei slammed the ground a few times with the package, "If your brain relaxes and you take a few steps, you will not fall." ”
Zhao Yu only felt that Liang Chao was a big ghost. "How is that possible? besides, there is a long row of grass in the way!"
"That's not safe, Zhao Yu, don't be like Ah Zha before, when you don't care about the bushes, you end up with a sword on your neck. ”
"Hey, what do you mean?" Hearing the words mocking himself, Zha Hongliang instantly threw the grass in his hand towards Liang Chaowei, "I almost lost my life just now." You're still sneering here. ”
Liang Chaowei, who suffered a 'heavy blow', not only did not get angry, but also showed a naughty appearance of laughter. I saw him smirking evilly, his body swaying like a snake to dodge.
Seeing this, Zha Hongliang became even more angry, he kept grabbing the weeds on the ground and threw them at Liang Chaowei, and said in his mouth: "You talk again! You talk again!"
"Okay, stop making any more fuss. Let's stop this matter!" Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to stop it.
"That's it, why do you have to keep talking about it! Are you very happy to see me make a fool of yourself?"
"I don't feel happy! I mentioned this incident in anger to remind Zhao Yu not to pretend to be too strong in everything, don't wait until something happens, and be afraid to pee your pants. ”
Hearing the words peeing his pants, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel numb in his lower body. He hurriedly watched to see if the two friends had found any clues, but fortunately they were only immersed in each other's bickering.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'pretending to be too strong', 'pee your pants when you get into trouble'!" Zha Hongliang waved his arms exaggeratedly, swinging in front of him like a conductor, "I was put against my neck with a sword! Do you know about my neck?" He grabbed his neck with his backhand, "Can you understand that feeling? Besides, that person has the intention to kill me! I can really feel this." If I hadn't been stopped by others, I guess my head would have fallen to the ground. ”
"Well, I don't think that person was joking. Zhao Yu recalled the A-faced man named Lu Lei. At least when he was in opposition to the coaches, the hatred that was displayed could not be disguised in any way.
Zhao Yu really didn't understand where that hatred came from, but he always felt that there seemed to be something bad about that group of people.
"Yes! Zhao Yu also said so. That man is going to kill me. I don't understand, I didn't do anything, how did I get someone to kill me? I don't understand. Is that guy a fool! Is that the kind of garbage person who has nothing to do and makes trouble with others? I didn't do anything, he was going to draw his sword and get me. ”
"Ah Zha, if you have any dissatisfaction with him, you can go back and find him and scold him in person!" Liang Chaowei held his hand and raised it into the distance.
"How can I scold him to his face? Besides, can I still reason with a neurotic?" Zha Hongliang clasped his arms disdainfully. However, after tilting his head and closing his eyes for a few seconds, he seemed to think of something, "That's right! Ah Liang! When I was pushed by someone else's neck just now, you behaved really well! You obviously held the sword, but you didn't do anything, are you embarrassed to come to me?"
Zha Hongliang's eyes reflected a sense of indignation, but Liang Chaowei still didn't care, "I'm just out of human instinct." ”
"Isn't it instinct for me to be afraid?"
"But at least I didn't pretend to be bold in front!" Liang Chaowei slanted his shoulders, "Before going to the bushes, Zhao Yu also reminded you not to act rashly, but you just didn't listen, and you continued to get closer." In the end, he was hurt by the people who escaped out. Who do you blame for this?"
"You ......"
"Alright, alright. Zhao Yu shook Liang Chaowei's body slightly, "Don't talk about it anymore." ”
Seeing this, Liang Chaowei opened his mouth widely, and kept touching his lips to resist.
Zhao Yu shook his head, he tried to change the question. "By the way, don't you think that group of people just now is suspicious?" he looked at Liang Chaowei and Zha Hongliang interactively.
"Suspicious?" Liang Chaowei touched his chin, "It's really a bit like you talking like this." They call themselves a garden survey team, but who knows if it's true. ”
"Then if they don't do gardening, what kind of identity are they?"
"Who knows? Besides, whoever they are has nothing to do with us. It's just!" Liang Chaowei glanced at Zha Hongliang, and raised an eyebrow, "It is estimated that some people will never forget the self-proclaimed garden survey team for the rest of their lives!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you still want to mention that stubble?"
Just when Zha Hongliang was about to stand up excitedly, Zhao Yu hurriedly took charge of extinguishing the fire. He grabbed Zha Hongliang's arm and tried his best to dissuade him: "Okay, let's eat! It's not too early." ”
Saying that, Zhao Yu also started to demonstrate first. He took out the lunch box that his mother had prepared for him from his package. Although Zha Hongliang still had an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face, he still took out the lunch box in his package.
Zhao Yu is still quite pleased with this, because judging from the fierce dispute between Gang Cai and Tony Leung, it shows that Zha Hongliang has stepped out of the previous shadow. After all, it is the most terrible thing for people to keep silent, but fortunately, Zha Hongliang has already vented it.
Tony Leung was also about to take the lunch box, but the shouting in the distance made him stop. It turned out that there were a few friends in his name and asked him to come to dinner together. Seeing this, Tony Leung picked up his package and quickly stood up to leave.
"I'm sorry! I'm leaving!"
"Get out of here, who will keep you!"
"Alas, what a mouth!" Tony Leung pointed at Zha Hongliang. Then, he also beckoned to Zhao Yu, "I'm leaving!"
Zhao Yu only nodded slightly. In fact, for him, no matter who leaves him, it will not affect him. Seeing Tony Leung walk away, Zhao Yu focused his attention on Zha Hongliang.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Yu asked with concern.
At first, Zha Hongliang didn't seem to react, he shook his face violently before he was able to get the answer out.
"Oh, it's okay. He already held the chopsticks in one hand, and nodded at Zhao Yu's side, "Let's eat! Let's eat! After eating, I'm going to look for some beast in the woods." Speaking of this, Zha Hongliang actually chuckled, "Hehe, go find the beast!"
Zha Hongliang's words were really penetrating, and Zhao Yu could also smell the feeling of being far away. The morning was wasted, and the afternoon was hopeless.
Is it really as Liang Chaowei said, just walking in the woods for a show?
Zhao Yu held the lunch box in his hand and sank down with a sigh.
"What's the matter? sigh?"
Zhao Yu stared at the lid of the lunch box in his hand and said something true in his heart.
"Ahh
"What's wrong? Asking such weird questions?"
"We're here to take a mock test, but now it's like we're out for a walk. Do you think that's really good?"
"Oh yo! What if it's good, what's not good? Let's hurry up and eat! Don't run out of time to finish your meal, and you really encounter a beast, and you don't even have the strength to test. In the process of saying this, Zha Hongliang's hand has already opened the lid of the lunch box.
"Well, yes!" Zhao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and reached out to open the lid of the lunch box in his hand.
However, at the moment of opening, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Ah......h
In the lunch box that his mother prepared for him, there were actually two expensive smoked fish steaks.
