Chapter 51: Lost
In this way, with a mind full of questions, Zhang Wenshu and I slowly walked together.
Zhang Wenshu was more anxious than me, and I enlightened her several times, persuading her that maybe that person was just meeting us and being curious.
If she continues like this, she will probably be nervous by her own imagination.
The group was like this, except for me and Zhang Wenshu, no one noticed, and kept walking towards the destination.
Zhang Qiang walked in the front, Chen Dong walked in the back, his feet were not good, so there was no need to lead the team for the time being, so Zhang Qiang would do it for him.
As for Xu Yi, he has been sticking to Liu Meng all the time, after last night's incident, maybe even Liu Meng himself doesn't know that his attachment to Xu Yi is no longer of ordinary significance.
However, whether excessive attachment is a good thing or a bad thing is probably another matter.
As for Xu Fei, he has always been alone and walking alone in the back of the team, not far from Chen Dong, but he does not walk side by side with Chen Dong.
One person carries a big bag of food, water, and some medical supplies that everyone needs, which can be regarded as an old scalper in this team.
He himself is not good at words, and his actions are even more withdrawn, which is really elusive.
For example, when I was looking for Xu Yi with him at night, he was very considerate, but now he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, and I don't know what to say about him.
As for Zhang Wenshu and I, we walked in the middle of the line, and the time was not early, more than half an hour had passed since just now.
I looked at the watch in my hand, it was already one o'clock, why didn't I rest?
According to the normal schedule of the past two days, I should have rested in place at half past twelve, but why did I keep walking now?
At this time, Liu Meng in front of him seemed to be unable to bear it, so he complained loudly:
"Oh, I'm tired, Zhang Qiang, why don't we rest for a while?"
Although I was tired, I was able to hold back my irritability as much as possible by listening to her tone.
I saw that Zhang Qiang, who was walking in the front, was silent, and seemed to be planning to continue walking, the more he did this, it meant that something must be wrong.
Seeing Zhang Qiang's appearance, Xu Yi walked behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Zhang Qiang, everyone is tired, let's rest for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, so let's replenish some water and food or something." Besides, Chen Dong's feet are not very good, and he also needs to rest. ”
Xu Yi continued to persuade Zhang Qiang, and also moved Chen Dong out.
Zhang Qiang hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly:
"Okay, then let's rest here for half an hour."
Immediately, he shouted:
"Let's rest for half an hour and replenish some energy."
It's just that although he shouted like this, the beads of sweat on his forehead were still strange, what made him so anxious?
He rubbed his palms a few times, just put down the mountaineering bag on his back, but did not sit down to rest, walked to the back of the team and whispered a few words to Chen Dong, and the two of them immediately got up and avoided everyone to talk as if the matter was urgent.
All this, I'm afraid that except for Liu Meng and Xu Yi, who have been tired of being together, they didn't notice the accident, whether it was me, Zhang Wenshu, or Xu Fei, they all glanced in the direction where they were from time to time.
No one has broken it, but they just see through it and don't say it.
"Hey, did you see that?"
Zhang Wenshu asked, she was the most obvious observer, her eyes were eager to be directly pulled out and thrown over to see, seeing that the two were talking in the distance, she turned her head to me and asked.
"Hmm."
I didn't continue to answer her, and then Zhang Wenshu immediately added:
"I think there must be something wrong with the two of them, what can't be said clearly? You have to hide and sneak around. ”
"Maybe, it's a personal problem, it's inconvenient."
I excused the two of them, I am not familiar with Chen Dong, but I know Zhang Qiang, as a Taoist priest, he is naturally righteous and awe-inspiring.
But who knows, before I could continue to say anything, Zhang Wenshu scolded me with a look of disbelief:
"What's private? What other intimate things can two big men have that we can't know? Did you secretly change your sweat towel? Or do you come a few days a month? ”
I have to say that her words were sharp and straight to the point, and I couldn't answer at all.
"This..."
"What's this, there's nothing to say, right?"
Zhang Wenshu immediately stopped.
I thought about it, in fact, what she said made sense, now we are a team, what can't everyone know?
Now that we're on an adventure, is there anything else we can't hear?
If not, there is only one possibility, and that is the problem of the expedition itself.
And the whole problem, I'm afraid only Zhang Qiang and Chen Dong know.
"Zhang Wenshu, how did you get involved in this event?"
Seeing me ask her like this, she looked puzzled and said:
"I'm from the Exploration Society, and you don't know it."
"No, I mean, who proposed this event?"
Seeing that she misunderstood what I meant, I explained.
"Oh, then you didn't say it earlier, it's Zhang Qiang, basically these people are all found by him except for you."
Seeing Zhang Wenshu say this, I couldn't help but wonder and asked:
"Didn't you say they were all from the Expedition Society?"
"That's right, Zhang Qiang specially pulled the Adventure Club for this event, what's wrong? Is there a problem? ”
She asked, staring at me wide-eyed.
"It's fine."
It seems that according to Zhang Wenshu's words, this event was arranged by Zhang Qiang alone, and Chen Dong was just a disguise, what kind of leader, I'm afraid Zhang Qiang can do it alone.
However, it doesn't make sense, what did Zhang Qiang do when he brought a bunch of us together?
Liu Meng came with Xu Yi, and I was invited by Zhang Wenshu, Xu Fei and Xu Yi were small, but the two of them didn't talk much, they could only say that Xu Yi knew Xu Fei, and the rest didn't know.
On the other hand, Chen Dong, the team leader, has been here since he came here, to be honest, his real team leader can be said to be basically gone.
Every time, Zhang Qiang took the lead, and after Chen Dongdian, he said that he was in command, but Zhang Qiang seemed to be more familiar than him.
And Zhang Qiang, who can be said to be the most hidden among several people, did not expect that he also concealed the identity of a Taoist priest.
Thinking about it carefully, he is the most problematic, but he doesn't know where to start when he wants to talk about it.
Everything related to Zhang Qiang is so unreasonable and reasonable.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Qiang and Chen Dong walked back one after the other.
Zhang Qiang stood in front of everyone, didn't speak for a long time, just lowered his head.
"Hey, Zhang Qiang, what's wrong with you? Is there anything you would like to say to everyone? ”
Xu Yi asked, still holding a loaf of bread in his hand.
Zhang Qiang finally spoke, his voice seemed to be a little guilty, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are signs of collapse in front of us because of the previous snow melting, continue walking, if the mountain road is blocked, we may get lost here, now listen to everyone's opinions, it is to continue walking, there is still half a day to go. Besides, just go back the way you came, and we canceled the event. ”
As soon as he heard that the event was canceled, Liu Meng was the first to object, saying:
"Keep walking, can you still give up halfway when you're here?"
"I see. Let's go back, after all, it's out to play, safety first, if everyone's safety goes wrong, it's not easy to do. ”
Chen Dong also expressed his opinion.
There was a disagreement between the two parties, Xu Yi and Liu Meng supported going on, while Chen Dong and Xu Fei felt that they should go back, but Zhang Qiang did not express his opinion from beginning to end.
"Li Yi, Zhang Wenshu, what do you two think?"
Seeing that we hadn't spoken yet, Zhang Qiang looked at the two of us, and before I could react, Zhang Wenshu immediately pulled me away.
"You wait for Ang, and we'll be back at once."
In the blink of an eye, the two of us walked not far from the resting place.
"Hey, Li Yi, you must say keep going!"
She pointed at me, and though I was actually going to go back, I didn't understand her intentions, so I asked her with a wry smile:
"What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
"What medicine? You forget, we don't know what kind of guy is following us, isn't it a sheep to go back now? Don't you understand the truth that the enemy is dark and I am clear? ”
She whispered at me, her eyes glancing at a few people not far away.
Yes, her words reminded me of the words that followed, and I don't know who it is, but if we go on any longer, if we get lost, then we may have to explain here.
can't accompany Xu Yi and Liu Meng to mess around.
"You don't know, Zhang Qiang is lying to us! How could he get lost here, he grew up here. ”
Zhang Wenshu lowered her voice and said.
"The ranger who had an accident here before was his uncle, how could he get lost here, his dad didn't know him until he was in high school, and he had been raised by his uncle before that.
You say he's going to get lost here, to whom? ”
Zhang Wenshu's words are undoubtedly a thunderbolt, Zhang Qiang grew up here? So why did he come back here again?
Since the uncle who raised him had an accident, it stands to reason that this should be his sad place, but there is no unusual emotional outpouring there.
I couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of Zhang Wenshu's words, and said:
"Where did you hear this?"
Seeing that I didn't believe it, she immediately said with disdain:
"Hearsay? Let me tell you the truth, this is not my nonsense, if you don't believe it, ask him to see if he admits it. ”
Zhang Wenshu's tone was very firm, and her voice was a little louder, full of confidence, and it didn't look like nonsense.
"Okay then."
"You have to keep going, you know?"
As if seeing that I didn't give a clear answer, she continued to ask.
I had to tell her that I was looking at it specifically, and I didn't want to follow other people's requests.
The two of them walked back like this, and on the way, Zhang Wenshu kept urging me to follow her and say.
Seeing us coming back, Zhang Qiang asked us:
"How? Have you two decided? Do you want to go or stay? ”
"Let's stay!"
Hearing Zhang Wenshu's categorical answer, Zhang Qiang didn't seem surprised, but just hummed.
"Good. Naturally, then let's stay here for half a day now, and then you can think about it. ”
After speaking, Zhang Qiang went to pack his things.
"What did he mean by staying for half a day?"
Liu Meng didn't get Zhang Qiang's point probe and asked Xu Yi.
"Stupid, let's not leave here, let's think about it."
Xu Yi gently knocked Liu Meng's forehead and said affectionately.
