Chapter 63: Crossing the Barren Mountain
During the frolic, Tian Xiaoyu and Dabao agreed to meet in Tian Xiaoyu's study room at half past seven the next morning, and then changed into camouflage uniforms and set off with things on their backs.
At this time, Tian Xiaoyu was still a little confused, as if he couldn't believe that he was about to see Tian Chuan, an old friend who had not seen him for nearly ten years and had passed away. What do you say after you meet? Do what? She didn't have a score in her heart, she just waited for the opportunity to act. And Dabao, Tian Xiaoyu must ensure her safety, after thinking about it carefully, it is best to let Dabao stay on the platform and wait for him, but if Dabao insists on going up, try to follow her rhythm, after all, Dabao's physical strength is not as good as his own, and he does not exercise often.
In the midst of anxious waiting, the sky finally darkened and brightened again. Tian Xiaoyu woke up with the alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning, gently climbed out of bed, carried his bag, and when he passed through the bathroom, he hurriedly sorted out the toiletries that had been placed on the sink in advance last night, and then pushed the door and left.
The weather is not very good, maybe it is too early, the sun has not yet appeared, the mist has not dispersed, the air is wet, Tian Xiaoyu feels that she is driving the humid air flow with every step of the way, and when she just walked for a short time, her hair and long eyelashes were covered with fine dewdrops.
Sitting in the study room, eating the bread I bought yesterday, drinking a carton of milk, and finally sobering up a little, I opened the English vocabulary book and memorized the words while waiting for Dabao. At a little after seven o'clock, Dabao arrived, she came directly in camouflage uniform, her long hair coiled in her military hat, and she looked particularly heroic. Seeing this, Tian Xiaoyu hurriedly beckoned Dabao to go over for breakfast, and he took the camouflage uniform prepared yesterday to the bathroom to change into, and when he came back after changing, Dabao had already eaten well, so the two of them carried their bags and hurriedly walked to the east gate in the morning when the school was small. At this time, the dress of the two is very eye-catching, because now that the military training of freshmen has passed, those who wear camouflage uniforms on campus are estimated to be the two in front of them, and Tian Xiaoyu and Dabaopan are beautiful, and they look even more sassy in military uniforms, and even the security guards at the east gate can't help but look at them twice.
"Hey! Ah Yu, Ah Yu, then the security guards look at us! Dabao took Tian Xiaoyu's hand, didn't look at Tian Xiaoyu, only lowered his head and said with a smile.
Tian Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said softly: "Well, because we are so cool!" ”
"Bah, baba, children's words!" Dabao hurriedly bent over and stomped his feet a few times and said, "Quick, Ah Yu, you say it too!" ”
"What's wrong?" Tian Xiaoyu wondered.
"You said you killed...... Dabao said with wide eyes: "This word is unlucky!" Repeat what I just said, Tong Yan Wuji! ”
"......" Tian Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, she didn't know that there was such an operation, but she couldn't stand Dabao's urging, so she also stomped her foot, bent over and said: "Bah, baba, Tongyan Wuji!" ”
"Hmm...... Let's go! Dabao nodded with satisfaction, took Tian Xiaoyu's arm and walked forward.
Soon, Tian Xiaoyu and Dabao crossed the road, the road and the real foot of the mountain, there is also a small piece of wilderness, which is overgrown with unnamed weeds less than half a meter high, the two of them crossed the wilderness with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked to the platform at the foot of the mountain. Looking up the hill from the platform, I immediately felt my own insignificance.
The overall slope of this mountain is about fifty-five degrees, and the height is about one hundred and ten meters according to the official report, this number is not difficult for Tian Xiaoyu, who has climbed Mount Tai, Huangshan, and Huashan, and the difficulty is that there is indeed no ladder leading directly to the top of the mountain, walking from the platform to the mountainside, half a person is overgrown with thorns, and there is only a trail that can only be passed by one person, and I don't know who stepped out, but from the weeds and seedlings on the trail, it is estimated that no one has come for a long time. At this time, the sun had not yet come out, the weather was a little gloomy, and the fog on the mountainside had not dissipated, and wisps of white smoke floated there.
Tian Xiaoyu exhaled deeply, turned his head to look at Dabao, who was a little stunned at the top of the mountain at this time, and said, "Dabao, are you waiting for me here?" Just contact me every once in a while, and if you can't get in touch, find someone to help. ”
Dabao lowered his head, came back to his senses, hugged Tian Xiaoyu's arm and said, "I, uh, let's go up with you, it's scary to wait here alone......"
"Are you sure?" Tian Xiaoyu stared at Dabao's eyes and said, "There is no turning back when you open the bow." ”
Dabao bit his lip, nodded heavily, and said, "Well, sure!" ”
"Okay," Tian Xiaoyu nodded, took off the backpack on his body and put it on the ground, took out the peach branch inside, and handed it to Dabao.
"What is this? Is it used for self-defense? Dabao took the peach branch and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, peach branches, it can also ward off evil spirits." Tian Xiaoyu replied, took another headscarf to put on Dabao, then stood up, put on his backpack and prepared to go.
Dabao waved the peach branch and sighed: "Ah Yu, I didn't know you could be so reliable, you thought it so well!" Wearing a military uniform and taking a peach branch, my sister is not afraid of anything now! After speaking, he stood in front of Tian Xiaoyu, raised his head and said, "Let's go!" ”
"Let's go!" Tian Xiaoyu also waved a peach branch and shouted, and did not forget to tell Dabao: "Let me open the way in front, don't let the thorns cut your face, you are full of beauties, you can't fall behind." By the way, if you want to drink water, tell me that I have water in my bag. ”
"Ah, let me carry some on my back, is your bag heavy?" Dabao said busily.
Tian Xiaoyu waved her hand and said no, she herself is used to climbing the mountain with weights, at this time she is more worried about Dabao's physical strength, I don't know where she can insist on going, if she can carry it less, just carry it less, and walk with herself for a longer time!
When she was ready, Tian Xiaoyu walked in front of her, and Dabao set off behind her.
Tian Xiaoyu walked while using his feet to drive away the thorns on both sides of the trail, not long after, has been traveling for more than half an hour, more than half a person high thorns have also become higher weeds and trees, at this time Tian Xiaoyu has begun to use his hands to remove the grass and trees on both sides of the road, while moving forward to see behind him to see if Dabao has followed, but looking up at the top of the mountain, it is still far away, alas, this road is too tortuous, if it goes straight to the top of the mountain, how good! Tian Xiaoyu said in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a "rustling" sound, Tian Xiaoyu paused, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and wanted to go further, but was pulled by Dabao behind him.
"Ah Yu! Did you hear that? Dabao leaned up and asked in a low voice.
Tian Xiaoyu didn't squeak, raised the peach branch, and looked around vigilantly, only the bushes of thorns, nothing could be seen, and the sound just now had disappeared, and the surroundings were as quiet as ever.
"Did you hear that wrong? Nothing! Tian Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "Hallucination, it must be an illusion, don't worry." ”
"Really?" Dabao replied nervously, and then nodded, as if to comfort himself, "Well, maybe it's an illusion, let's go." ”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, the sound of "rustling" came again, the sound was louder than before, and it was not far from them if they could hear it, Tian Xiaoyu and Dabao were like being pointed, they didn't dare to move, and their faces turned pale and looked at each other. Then, Tian Xiaoyu turned his head and looked around, but he only heard the sound, couldn't see anything, and couldn't determine which direction the sound came from.
Grass, something. Tian Xiaoyu raised the peach branch, scolded in his heart, and then said in his heart, wait out to see that the old lady will not give you a head drink!
