Chapter 57: Mid-Mountain Lunch
"Be careful!"
Wang Yaxuan helped with her hands, Qin Ran bent her knees and squatted half-way, unloading Song Tingting from her back to the wooden bench at the rest point along the way.
"Okay, I can move the position by hand."
Song Tingting raised her left foot and signaled that Qin Ran could stand up and rest.
It is not an easy errand to carry a person down the mountain, the left hand should be hugged by the person on the back, the right hand should support the crutches, and the balance and stability should be maintained by the legs alone, Qin Ran was so tired that he was sweating.
"Qin Ran, thank you so much this time, I'll ask my parents to thank you when I go back."
On the back, Song Tingting can personally experience Qin Ran's difficulty, so I sincerely thank him again.
"It's really nothing, we're all classmates. As the squad leader said, it took us five hundred years of hard work to get together, fate is rare, and it is appropriate to help each other. If I get hurt, I guess my classmates will be willing to help, just like the class leader helped in the first place...... Helping juniors do the same. ā
Qin Ran wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and gasped. But he almost said the wrong thing just now, and quickly told Wang Yaxuan about helping with tutoring. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and braked in time to stop.
"As a class leader, it is right to help junior students. Seeing that Lei Feng's spirit can be passed on from generation to generation, I feel that my efforts have not been in vain. ā
Wang Yaxuan started a conversation with Qin Ran in front of Song Tingting, and only the two of them understood the extraneous voices. As a result, Song Tingting was a little confused and unclear.
Qin Ran took out a bottle of mineral water from his schoolbag, ready to compensate for the moisture, he had been sweating and losing too much water.
"Uh, wait, you're sweating too much, it's not very appropriate to drink mineral water. I have salt boiling water here, and some heat preservation, you can take it and drink it! There's still a long way to go down the mountain. ā
took out a silver thermos cup from her schoolbag and handed it to Qin Ran.
What the! Drink water directly from Wang Yaxuan's water cup? This is really embarrassing Qin Ran, but there is also Song Tingting staring at him.
Qin Ran was really at a loss, if he refused, it seemed that he was not close to people, and if he accepted, he was afraid that it would be too ambiguous.
"The cup is new, I haven't used it, you don't have to think too much about it."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Yaxuan's face quietly floated a hint of red, and her belongings were used by a boy, which was a little embarrassing no matter what.
"Oh, then I'll buy you a new one and get it back to you. It just so happened that I was planning to buy one for myself some time ago, but I didn't expect a new cup to fall from the sky. ā
Qin Ran was very clever in resolving this embarrassing scene, if he drank it and returned it, Wang Yaxuan would be difficult to deal with. "No, I have a new one at home. This cup can be regarded as your reward for today's bravery! Of course, Wang Yaxuan hurriedly rejected Qin Ran's suggestion.
"I said that the two of you are really fateful, today the whole class wore school uniforms for the two of you, and now they are all interested in thermos cups."
Although Song Tingting has a foot injury, she will not forget to tease her good friend when she has the opportunity.
"Some people forget the pain when the scar is not good! You'd better take care of yourself first! ā
Wang Yaxuan is not a person who is defeated by just a few words, she quickly organizes a counterattack as soon as she has the opportunity.
Qin Ran knew that when there was a war among girls, it was the best choice for men to hide far away. So he excused himself to look at the scenery and slipped aside.
"I think it's almost lunch time, why don't we have fun here, have a snack here, and enjoy the surrounding scenery by the way, so as not to come to Moon Mountain for an outing."
Song Tingting twisted her foot at first, which was quite sad. But now with Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan, she feels much better again, so the three of them simply have dinner at this rest point.
The sick number is the largest, and her mention yƬ gets the unanimous pass of the other two. So the three of them took out everything in their backpacks and gathered together to share lunch.
Wang Yaxuan took out cakes, chocolates, dried fruits, cherries, etc., as well as a delicious-looking bento from her school bag.
"Did your mother prepare the bento?"
Song Tingting asked what Qin Ran also wanted to know.
"No, I did it myself. How's that, it looks okay, right? Did you whet your appetite? ā
Wang Yaxuan replied a little proudly, the two people next to her were friends in her heart, so she took off her disguise and showed her true colors.
"Awesome! I've always fantasized about being able to make a bento by myself when I read Japanese manga, and you must teach me in the future. ā
"Okay, when the time comes, you come to my house, and I will teach you."
Qin Ran felt that he was a little redundant, and the two girls next to him didn't seem to treat him as an outsider at all, and directly chatted about his best friend's private conversation.
Song Tingting took out brioche bread, sandwiches, milk and ham sausages, and a small bag of strawberries from her school bag.
"The strawberries look great, I'll eat a few more later."
Wang Yaxuan said happily, and then the two girls were looking forward to what surprise Qin Ran could bring them.
Three steamed buns, plus an apple!
Qin Ran was a little embarrassed, as if he was indeed a little shabby compared to his own things. But he is a big boy, he eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, and when he goes out in the morning, he thinks so much and shares lunch with two girls.
"Great, if there are steamed buns, I like the feeling of breaking the steamed buns and putting strawberries in my mouth."
Wang Yaxuan clapped her hands and said happily for the first time.
"I was craving an apple. English teachers don't often say: An-apple-a-day-keeps-the-doctors-away. Thank you, Qin Ran, I'll book the apple first. ā
It's really a kind girl, they were afraid that Qin Ran would be embarrassed, so they took the initiative to praise what he brought. Of course, Qin Ran knew it, he didn't poke it, and replied with a smile: "Then you will exchange things later, otherwise I won't give it." ā
Between people, sometimes white lies can make the relationship more harmonious, so everyone will say such a beautiful "truth".
Qin Ran was hungry, he picked up a steamed bun and put it in his mouth, then unscrewed the thermos cup and began to eat lunch. After all, he will continue to fight later, and only when he fills his stomach can he have combat effectiveness.
"Now, you can eat the bento too! We two girls can't eat that much, you look at cakes, bread and whatever, we are completely enough. ā
Wang Yaxuan pushed the hand-made lunch in front of Qin Ran.
"Yes, you are my protector, and filling my stomach is the only way to make me feel safe."
Song Tingting also interjected.
It would be hypocritical to postpone it any longer, Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I owe you this time, and I will invite you two to have a meal next time I go back to Jiangzhou." ā
"It's a deal."
The two girls said in unison.
A steamed bun was far from being able to replenish Qin Ran's energy consumption, so as soon as the delicious bento was opened, he felt that his appetite was great, and he couldn't care too much about it, so he buried himself in eating hard.
The three of them basically emptied the food to reduce the weight as much as possible and make it easier to travel down the mountain. After a brief rest, Qin Ran and the others embarked on the journey down the mountain again.
Still following the firm footsteps of the boy in front of her, Wang Yaxuan felt that today's outing was more interesting than any previous participation. In the past, she always had to go to great lengths to help organize her classmates, and she had to be surrounded by a large group of people. Where is it like today, with Qin Ran as the leader, she can enjoy every minute very relaxed and don't have to worry about other problems. The only deficiency is that her good friend Song Tingting is injured, otherwise she thinks that today is really perfect.
Qin Ran's hair was already completely soaked, and sweat kept dripping down his forehead, seeping into his eyebrows and eyes, making him not very comfortable.
"Wait, I'll help you!"
Wang Yaxuan, who was careful on the side, saw it, so she took out her handkerchief from her pocket and used her right hand to carefully wipe the sweat on her forehead for Qin Ran.
Accidentally, she and Qin Ran looked at each other, and Wang Yaxuan saw a long-lost deep and calm gaze in Qin Ran's eyes. She couldn't help but feel confused in her heart, and quickly looked away and looked at the mountain behind Qin Ran.
"Alright."
Wang Yaxuan hurriedly put away the handkerchief, and followed behind Qin Ran silently with her head down, but her heart kept churning. The long-held speculation was finally confirmed again, and the mysterious boy in front of her was really similar to her father, and the familiar feeling made her a little overwhelmed.
The next road was much smoother, after all, it had reached the foot of the mountain, Wang Yaxuan continued to help Qin Ran wipe it a few times, but she didn't dare to make eye contact with him again.
Finally seeing the familiar gate of the scenic spot, Qin Ran carried Song Tingting to the medical room next to him with all his might.
"If it's swollen, it's best to go to the city hospital in time to take a film and find a professional doctor to see it. After all, my level of qualifications is limited. ā
A young female health doctor in a white coat said.
Qin Ran was gasping for breath on the side, he was really tired just now.
Wang Yaxuan was very understanding and brought warm water from the boiling kettle in the medical room and handed it to Qin Ran.
After drinking it all, Qin Ran handed the cup back to the girl, and then Wang Yaxuan filled another cup and sent it.
"Thank you!"
Qin Ran only remembered to thank him at this time, but he was too anxious to pay attention just now.
The girl just smiled, signaled that it was okay, and raised her hand.
"Is there a vehicle in the scenic area to go to the city? Can we take a ride? ā
Qin Ran always saw the key at a glance on important occasions.
"Wait, I'll ask."
Hearing that the situation might be strict, Song Tingting's eyes turned a little red again, and she began to feel anxious.
Wang Yaxuan hurriedly went up and comforted her loudly.
After a while, the health doctor came back and said in an apologetic tone: "It's noon in the scenic area, and there is no bus to go back to the city." The bus line will not open until a few months later, and it is not possible to take the bus now. Why don't you rest here and go back with your bus in the afternoon? ā
Qin Ran heard it, yes, wasn't the bus driver here when he came? Wouldn't it be okay for him to drive the three of them back to the city to the hospital? It's a big deal to reimburse yourself for this round trip.
The reality always backfires, and the staff tells him that the bus driver and his friends don't know where to go. No one can be found now, and he cannot be contacted.
Mobile phones are not popular, it is inconvenient, and it is so difficult to find someone. Before going up the mountain, the driver also said that he wanted to sleep, and when he fell asleep, he ran out to play.
"Why don't I call and see if I can get someone to pick it up."
Wang Yaxuan's family background, Qin Ran knew, so he nodded and let him try.
dialed the phone twice, but no one answered, and even Wang Yaxuan, who had always been calm, showed an anxious look on her face.
"No one answered the phone at home, and my dad's mobile phone couldn't get through. It's really strange today, it's rare to see such a situation happen. ā
The girl said to Qin Ran a little helplessly.
"It's okay, no, let's wait here for the driver to come back! Anyway, the wound is far away from the heart, and no one can die. Song Tingting burst into laughter and comforted the two.
"Don't worry, I still have some fellow villagers in Jiangzhou, they should be able to help."
Qin Ran picked up the phone and called Li Desheng's mobile phone.
"Hey, it's me!"
As soon as he heard the voice, Li Desheng knew that it was his boss. He quickly stopped what he was doing and asked in a low voice what was the matter.
"I'm in the Moon Mountain Scenic Area right now, and a classmate sprained his foot and had to go to the city hospital for an examination immediately. If you have time, you can call someone over and take us to the hospital. ā
"Okay, I'll be right here."
The boss asked if he was free, but he just said casually, if someone is serious, then you really may be available in the future.
Li Desheng hurriedly drove his Santana and spent forty minutes rushing to the scenic spot.
Qin Ran asked the staff to contact the staff at the top of the mountain through the internal communication facilities, and asked them to tell the head teacher Kong Mingxuan, saying that the three of them had a car to pick them up and go back to the city hospital to see a doctor, so as not to worry about the teachers and classmates all the way and disturb the fun of the outing.
Seeing the familiar license plate, Qin Ran knew that it was Li Desheng who came.
He hurriedly caught up, and then spoke to Li Desheng by the car window, saying that the two were fellow villagers and happened to be free to help.
Carefully helped Song Tingting into the back seat, Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan also got into the car together, and Santana rushed all the way to the city's first hospital.
