Chapter 5: Departure from Izumiyama

Before I knew it, the gray sky turned white, and then the mountains in the distance were reflected in the fiery red of a rising sun.

When I left the window, I saw that the "strong magnetic compass" software on my desk and mobile phone had entered the final stage of test loading, so I reclassified the books scattered on the table and put them back on the shelves.

"Ding—"

That's when I heard the software test load, so I picked up my phone and tried it out in my room. Sure enough, the compass combined with modern technology can come in handy in terms of accuracy and in areas with strong magnetic fields, and the key is that it also has a number of physical data analysis and processing functions, which is not too good compared to traditional wooden compasses.

"Knock knock!" There were a few knocks at the door, and then Lingxin's voice came in, "Sen, are you up?" My dad asked me to bring you something to bring to you. ”

At this time, I thought that Lingxin got up so early and came to me, why did he come here? Suspicious, I stepped forward to open the door for her, and said to the door, "I'm up, you wait." ”

The door opened, and Ling Xin was wearing a gray jacket, a pair of black slacks, a pair of combat boots, and even her long hair was tied back.

"Hey, Sen. Have you seen enough? Ling Xin saw that I was looking at her stupidly for what she was looking like today, so she called out to me.

"I've seen enough, but what are you doing here? Why are you dressed so handsomely today? I questioned her.

When she heard me say this, she pushed the stack of clothes she was holding into my arms, went into the room, and said to me, "Sen, isn't my dad going to go to that church with you today, so he asked me to get you a suit to wear when you go to the church, and he asked for his permission, and I will join you, which is why I am dressed like this today." ”

"No, it won't! Listen to the heart, you go too! Do you know that there are dangers lurking everywhere on that mountain, and if you are not careful, accidents will happen. I was a little apprehensive when I heard that she was going with me, and I analyzed the situation for her.

"Sen, you underestimate me too much, I have a special skill, and I can deal with those dangers. Besides, don't you and my dad protect me, I'm not afraid! She seems to be confident about today's trip.

After listening to what she said, I walked to the window, peeked outside, and then turned to her and asked, "Lingxin, why don't you tell me what your specialties are?" ”

When she heard this, she made a leg teasing motion for me, and said, "Oh, the legs are extraordinary!" ”

"Alright, alright. What you mean by this is that you run fast. However, I would like to state to you that the site of this expedition was Quanshan, and it was the height of summer, and the dense forest was full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, so that the trees were crawling all over the place—it was too late to give up. "Because I know that the environment in that place is harsh and dangerous in this season, I want her to think about it and be cautious.

"Alright, Sen. I just joked with you, I didn't expect you to care so much about me, I was so touched," she said, looking at me affectionately, "Actually, I'm your junior, and I'm also studying archaeology." Therefore, I am here to cooperate with you and to collect information on the groundwater and soil composition of Izumiyama.

"In addition, not only do I have long legs, but I am also a 'black belt' in taekwondo! I can protect myself, don't worry. ”

Hearing her say this, I think the judges were drunk on the day she took the exam.

"Alright, Sen. Seeing that you are worried, I know what you want to say, but you don't have to tell me, now you change your clothes, I will go downstairs and wait for you, and after breakfast, we are about to leave. She urged me to do so, went out, and then gently closed the door for me.

After a hearty breakfast, I felt the energy in my body rise to a new level, and then we walked out of the hall, the sun already filling the courtyard.

Professor Xia's overalls are estimated to be soaked with sweat for a while on this hot summer day, but this also shows that he is meticulous in his work.

I should cooperate with him, and rolled up the sleeves of my overalls, but in fact, my arms were already covered with fine sweat.

Long-sleeved overalls are hot to wear, but they are protected from being cut by vines and burned by the sun in the dense forest, and the body is relieved by a lot of perspiration. With this, it is worth noting that you should drink plenty of water and beware of dehydration and overdraft.

"Dad, come and see, the spring mountain that Sen said, the map shows that it is about 10 kilometers away from us, we will set off now, get off the highway, and we can reach it in about an hour and a half." Lingxin put his laptop in front of Professor Xia and analyzed the road conditions.

"Well, then let's go without further ado, let's hurry up and set off now," Professor Xia looked at me after explaining to Ling Xin, "Sen, you are familiar with that section of the road, do you have anything else you need to add about going to the scientific expedition here?" ”

"Uncle Xia, the mountains and forests over there are dense, so the danger factor of this scientific expedition is relatively high, so we all need to be careful. As for Lingxin, I will help you take a good look at her, don't worry! After saying to Professor Xia, I looked at Lingxin, "Lingxin, since you are on an outdoor mission for the first time, you must remember not to be too curious, and don't touch things that you shouldn't touch, otherwise you will ......."

"Alright, Sen. Don't scare her, I had a lot of trouble trying to convince her that she was very timid to come with us. Professor Xia interrupted me. For this reason, I looked at Ling Xin curiously, and the contrast between her enthusiasm and courage that had just been shown in my room was so great that I was puzzled.

"I know you want to make fun of me, but I'm not going to give you a chance, I'm timid, but I'm not afraid of the odds—huh! I'll get in the car first! Seeing that I was silently watching her, she said a few words and walked briskly towards the car.

"Hahaha," Professor Xia smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "Sen, do you know what it means to be a 'female college not staying'?" And that is—I invited her to come with me this morning, and she shirked it under the pretext that 'Great Auntie' was coming.

"Finally, when I told her that you would be with us too, she instantly seemed like a different person, and she was eager to help me pack my things."

"Ahh After listening to Professor Xia's words, her words and deeds before and after made sense, and it was obvious that I was deeply in love with her.

"Ah, what, Lingxin is in the car, let's go over quickly." Professor Xia said and walked away.

Along the way, the car was also smooth on the Chengbei Expressway, but after turning to the stone-paved road in Shijiangzhai, it was bumpy left and right.

"Sen, it's almost an hour, and the map doesn't show much more here, so how long will it take us to get there." Lingxin glanced at his laptop and asked me. At this time, she kept wiping the fine sweat from her forehead.

"Come on, it's ahead!" After I answered her, I pointed out the way to Professor Xia, "Uncle Xia, let's get off at the land temple in front, we need to pass through a swamp in front of it to go up the mountain." ”
