Chapter 47: Summer Camp
Beishan, as the name suggests, is located on a mountain north of Guicheng.
Compared with the rugged and steep Qiuding Mountain, where the grass and trees are withered, the scenery of the North Mountain is much more beautiful. At this time, it is close to the height of summer, and the area around Beishan is full of strange flowers, and the well-known and unknown are vying for a place in the colorful summer.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, they took the advice and expectations of the three of them and got on the school bus to Beishan......
Sunset Lake is not as impressive as the river outside the city, and you can see the whole picture of Sunset Lake at a glance. It looks gentle and quiet, like a girl in the depths of the boudoir.
The most desirable thing is its name, the unremarkable lake that now looks unremarkable, and it is said that when the sun sets, it will create a landscape that you can't imagine, just as you can't imagine Cinderella's transformation after putting on the crystal slipper.
Minister Xie was the chief person in charge of this outing, and when he arrived at the open space on the edge of the lake, he began to arrange for the gendarmes to divide up their work, some of them set up tents, and some of them made fires for cooking. Twenty gendarmes came, and it took a long time to complete these things in batches.
Leng Chuxian thought to himself that he and the girls here were also students of the military academy, could it be that he still wanted to be a pampered eldest lady when he came here. As the class president, she took the initiative to take her classmates to do what she could to save time for everyone.
Those who are clever can help build a tent, those who are more powerful can help build a stove, lift heavy objects, and even those who are not good can help build a handle and hand over something.
Minister Xie and the three teachers felt relieved acquiescence to her behavior. Leng Chuxian, as the class leader, not only has excellent grades on weekdays, abides by discipline, respects teachers, and treats classmates with helpfulness, her family background is known to teachers, but compared to her illustrious family background, what they value more is that such a young lady can develop such a gentle and humble personality.
Zou Baoer and Nurse Liu came together, and when they saw that they were all helping, the two of them were embarrassed to stand there, and they also wanted to do their part.
Nurse Liu took the initiative to run to help set up the camp, and Zou Baoer saw that there were people helping everywhere, but the heavy objects on the car seemed to be short of manpower, so she also took the initiative to run under the car to help.
Zou Bao'er is thinner, and several soldiers are afraid that she will not be able to bear it, and want to persuade her to help elsewhere. Unexpectedly, Zou Baoer saw a bag of heavy objects beside her, and reached out to lift half of it, she lifted it first, and someone took the initiative to help her carry the other half.
After carrying a bag, I saw that Zou Bao'er's face was not red and her breath was not panting, but she didn't think that she would have such a lot of strength when she looked like a willow. As everyone knows, this is Zou Baoer's naughty mischievous since childhood, climbing over walls and trees.
With these juniors working together, the soldiers' spirits were greatly boosted, and their strength couldn't help but increase several times, and the physical exhaustion couldn't hide the red light on their faces.
There are twenty-one female students in three tents, a total of seven tents, Zou Bao'er two people have a single tent, three foreign language teachers have a tent, and nine tents are connected in an encircled way. There were twenty-one gendarmerie members plus Minister Xie, one account for Minister Xie, four soldiers in one tent, and six tents distributed between every two tents in the outermost part to form a protective situation for them. Minister Xie also ordered that four people should take turns patrolling and keeping vigil for the past two nights.
After the camp tent was allocated, all the students gathered in front of the camp, excluding the two nurses. The three teachers announced to them the three-day schedule, and every day they attended classes as if they were at school, and after lunch, they rested in the tent until half past one.
Their three foreign language teachers are Ms. Luo who teaches German, Ms. Song who teaches Russian, and Ms. Bu who teaches English. Two days before departure, the three teachers discussed the process:
This afternoon, the three teachers will take them on a tour to enjoy the flowers and watch the incredible wonders of the legendary Sunset Lake.
Tomorrow, they will spend a day writing down their impressions after the day in three languages with the same content, and then on the third day, they will dictate in front of the three teachers one by one, and they will also ask questions in the form of a dialogue with the three teachers, and finally evaluate whether their oral expression is qualified.
After listening to the whole process, I realized that this exam was so difficult and heavy, and half of the girls were not in a good mood at that time. I haven't been here before, and I was still looking forward to the sunset wonder, but I fell halfway through.
After lunch, they also consciously cleaned their dishes and chopsticks before going to the tent to rest. When I think of the exams in the past few days, I must be mentally prepared to fight a tough battle, and many people have a hunch that they will not be able to sleep peacefully for the past three days.
Leng Chuxian, Hu Yuanlan, and Wang Xiaoyan live in the same camp, although Hu Yuanlan's results are not as good as Leng Chuxian, they are also at the top of the middle and upper levels, as long as they play steadily, there is no problem in passing the exam.
Wang Xiaoyan's English and Russian are okay, and there is no problem with the exam under normal performance, but German is relatively weak.
Fortunately, Leng Chuxian helped her in the class, and when she returned to the dormitory, Hu Yuanlan helped her, plus she herself is quite diligent, and now, if she plays steadily, she should be able to protect herself.
It doesn't matter if the two of them don't rest or not, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the three of them are together now, and then help Wang Xiaoyan strengthen her spoken and grammatical words.
At half past one o'clock, the soldiers' whistles sounded outside, which represented the school bell, and they got up to get dressed and got dressed up, and when they arrived outside the tent, the three teachers were all waiting for them. After a brief assembly and a few more words, they set out in the direction of the foot of the mountain.
They don't need to hike up the mountain, just enjoy the exotic flowers at the foot of the mountain, look up at the ravines of the heavy mountains, and leave a little room for their imagination.
The three teachers used their own language to express their appreciation and feelings for flowers and their surroundings, and interacted with them from time to time to different degrees of dialogue with them, so that they could familiarize themselves with the exam format in advance.
After two o'clock, Zou Bao'er and Nurse Liu had been busy dispensing medicine sacs in the camp tent, to equip everyone who came here with a deworming and itching pouch. It's not that I didn't think about bringing it to the infirmary, but the best effect of the medicine sachet was in the first two nights, and I was afraid that the effect of the medicine would be too good if it was prepared in advance.
In addition, the students of the foreign language department come here to essentially just change the venue for class, and the two of them don't have to go to class with them, and they can't understand when they go, so they just think of something to pass the time.
The medicine bag seems to be as simple as mixing all the medicinal materials together, but in fact, this medicine bag contains a total of four kinds of medicinal materials, and their grams must be mixed according to the calculated measurement, as far as possible to be unbiased.
They sorted, weighed, mixed, knotted, and the two of them spent three hours still a little short.
After five o'clock, Nurse Liu kept her hands in her hands, and suddenly said in her mouth: "Bao'er, I heard that the sunset here is very beautiful, you are a local, you should have seen it a long time ago, right?" ”
"I've seen it." Zou Bao'er didn't know how many times she had watched it since she was a child, and she could tell from Nurse Liu's tone that she was eager to see it.
"Is it really that beautiful?"
"Not bad." No matter how beautiful things are, even if you still feel beautiful, you will become accustomed to it, but people who see it for the first time will really feel very special.
Nurse Liu looked at the work at hand, and it was estimated that she would miss it when she was done, it seemed that she could only wait for tomorrow, and she was afraid that they would not have time to go again tomorrow, so she could only let Zou Baoer accompany her to go again, and there would be no such feeling when there were fewer people.
Zou Bao'er said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to go, go quickly, you are just right now, leave the rest to me, there is not much left." ”
Nurse Liu's face was happy, but she said, "It's not good to let you work here alone." ”
Zou Bao'er said seriously: "I grew up here, do you think I will see less?" If I wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid that the girls in the foreign language department are too busy with exams to go again, anyway, I won't be very interested, and you will have to go to see it alone. ”
Nurse Liu knew that Zou Bao'er said this on purpose, so that she could watch the sunset without worry. didn't disappoint her, said thank you and ran out.
The sun is slanting in the west, and the remnant sun will be twilight. Although the sunset is beautiful, it faintly gives people a sense of loss, such as helplessness after the passing of a meteor and sorrow after the dissipation of fireworks.
After a while, the setting sun gradually became like a fire, dyeing the sky red. No matter how gorgeous it is, it can't run the cycle of rising in the east and sinking in the west after all. Slowly, quietly, the last remnant of the sun will gradually disappear into invisibility.
Said that they were not in the mood, but at this time, the expectation in their hearts lit the flame again like an inexhaustible flame, and they waited on the edge of the lake with anticipation to wait for the beautiful scenery imagined in their hearts, and there were many tourists standing on the four sides of the lake.
However, just as the sunset was about to sink to the surface of the lake, the scene cheered, boiling, and unbelievable...... No matter how calm you are, you can't help but exclaim in your heart.
Have you ever seen a lake? When the sun is shining, it is still turquoise and clear, and when the sun sets, the original turquoise piece will be separated into glass-like colorful colors, and the whole lake surface is red, amber, blue and green...... Intertwined with each other, changing and entangled, and angular, without affecting each other, one movement and one change is like swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the sky, and the changes of the extremely charming state are exhausted.
They couldn't help but wonder why the sun was so bright and soft in the morning and so warm at noon, why could there be such a landscape only under the oblique light of the orange-red sunset? No one knows what secrets lie at the bottom of the lake, and no one delves into it, so it is a magical tribute to nature's creations......
After dinner, Zou Baoer had to go to each camp tent to deliver medicine sachets. Nurse Liu is also a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she went out to play for an hour in the afternoon, and at this time she rushed to take the work on herself. She wanted to rush to send it, but Zou Bao'er was not polite, leaving only the sachet of Leng Chuxian's tent, and she wanted to send it over herself.
After spending an afternoon in the camp, the whole tent smelled of herbs, and she wanted to find someone to talk to and breathe with her.
She didn't have a deep relationship with Nurse Liu, and she couldn't say anything psychologically to her. Zou Baoer is a particularly popular girl, and there is no shortage of friends around her. But she knew in her heart that the only person who could be the most close to her in the past was Xue Qingning, and she was willing to confide her heart and mind to her without reservation.
Until she came to the military academy and met Li Chengjing and Leng Chuxian, they are indeed very special and charming two girls, and Zou Baoer is willing to have a deep friendship with them as she treats Xue Qingning.
When I walked outside the tent, I wondered if Leng Chuxian was busy doing his homework? In that case, you can't bother her, so you can only go back to bed early.
After Leng Chuxian returned to the camp, he was sorting out his thoughts for tomorrow, and Hu Yuanlan was pointing out Wang Xiaoyan on the side. Before it was time to sleep, their tent had not been put down so quickly, and Zou Bao'er walked in directly.
"Bao'er, why are you here?"
Zou Bao'er took out three medicine bags and gave them them, so that they would not be bitten by mosquitoes when they wore them, and there would be no signs of itching on their bodies for no reason. And tell them that everyone here has one. Originally, they were still there, beware of living outside, if mosquitoes would run into their tents in the middle of the night. When they heard this, they immediately reached out and took it, glad that a nurse came out with them.
As soon as Zou Bao'er came in, she saw that Leng Chuxian didn't seem to be very busy, so she dared to smile and ask, "Chuxian, are you free now?" Is it inconvenient for you to go out with me for a while? ”
Leng Chuxian looked at the two of them, and Hu Yuanlan replied for her: "Chuxian, you go out with Bao'er, Xiaoyan is almost tutored here."
All the tents were surrounded on all sides, and if they wanted to find a place to talk well, they had to go out of the tents, and they would only have a word to Minister Xie. When Minister Xie heard that they were going to the side to relax, he warned them not to go too far, and it was best to be within the range that the soldiers could see, and did not forget to tell them to come back early.
They thanked them and walked out.
There was no lawn here, so they had to find a relatively flat stone to sit on.
"Is there something you want to tell me if you call me out?"
"No, I just put medicine bags in the camp for an afternoon, and I was really bored, so I thought of talking to you to talk to me, and I didn't disturb you to review your homework, right?"
Leng Chuxian smiled: "Don't bother." ”
Zou Bao'er said: "Also, I have long heard that you are the one with the best grades in the foreign language department, and this exam is absolutely no problem for you." ”
Leng Chu smiled enviously.
Zou Bao'er said: "My study of medical care is my own interest and choice, Cheng Jing is probably because of her family's mission, so what are you learning foreign languages for?" Was it your own intention? ”
No one has ever asked her this question, not even Li Chengjing, so she hasn't asked it.
In fact, she learned foreign languages the same as Li Chengjing out of her father's expectations for her. His father needed his own man who was fluent in foreign languages to help him expand his overseas career, and her brother was the heir to the business, and the task fell to her.
Moreover, her father chose to let her come to the military academy, and he really wanted to use the power of the military academy to protect her safety.
"Chu Xian, there is one thing I haven't told you yet. Actually, I've met your father, and your brother, who is four years older than you, is called Guo Yixuan, right? ”
"How do you know?" Leng Chuxian was surprised, she didn't tell anyone, including Li Chengjing, about her family, how could she know?
