Chapter 15: Teaming Up
After Teacher Peng left, the students looked at each other, but after only a while, someone picked up the supplies and took the lead towards the mountain, and under her leadership, everyone also moved forward one after another.
As soon as Chu Xiangyun and Shi Zhuqing walked to the table where they received the supplies, someone suddenly rushed to them from the side, which made Shi Zhuqing startled, and instinctively took two steps back and hid behind Chu Xiangyun.
Chu Xiangyun was taken aback by her movements, and the tacit understanding of cooperation over the years made her subconsciously raise her bow and arrow, and then she reacted-
In fact, he had long been aware that there was someone there, but it was one of the students, and there was no malice.
The other party was also frightened by their actions, raised his hands and hurriedly said, "Hey! Don't hit me! I'm your classmate, not a bad person! β
Shi Zhuqing calmed down and looked at her carefully, only to find that the other party was the female classmate who wanted to sneak out to take the cable car before. She snorted coldly, but she still pulled Chu Xiangyun and asked her to put down her bow and arrows.
"Is there anything wrong with you? It's better to say it quickly. β
The other party also put down his hands, did not speak, but first circled around the two of them, and then smacked his lips in his heart.
Originally, she thought that Chu Xiangyun would be the one who was the leader of the two, but she didn't expect it to be another person, and she made a mistake.
She stopped in front of Shi Zhuqing and raised a smile.
"Well, you see we're facing the same problem right now...... I think we can work together. β
"Cooperation?" Shi Zhuqing looked at her with suspicion, "How can you cooperate in climbing the mountain?" Do you still want to hold hands and go on an outing like a child? β
The other party's expression remained unchanged as if he hadn't heard Shi Zhuqing's taunt, "I mean, in climbing the mountain, there is one thing that is very important. β
She raised a finger and shook it, but suddenly moved on to something else, "Actually, I'm actually a mountain climber, I love mountaineering very much, and I have a lot of experience in how to allocate physical strength and conserve energy on the road. β
"Although Mr. Peng said that it doesn't matter if you climb for a few days and nights, I think it's better for us to climb the mountain before the evening, after all, no one wants to spend the night in this kind of place, right?"
Seeing that Shi Zhuqing seemed to be seriously thinking about her words, her smile gradually deepened, "You see, the time is ten o'clock in the morning, and I am confident that under my command, we can definitely reach the school gate within ten hours." β
Shi Zhuqing crossed his arms to look at her, and tapped his fingers on his arm, "Then what good will it do you to cooperate with us?" You can obviously go alone. β
"This brings us to the very important thing I just said in mountain climbing."
"Isn't that important thing referring to the mountaineering plans you just mentioned, the allocation of time, and so on?"
"Of course not." She held out another finger and swayed it from side to side, "The most important thingβ"
"Morale."
"Morale?" Chu Xiangyun was attracted by her words.
"Yes." She nodded, "Although I have a lot of knowledge...... But that's just theory, and there will always be problems in the process of practice. β
"Please, please." Shi Zhuqing interrupted her without hesitation.
The man gave her a disgusted look, "Meaning, I may not be able to climb up." β
"Huh?"
Seeing that Shi Zhuqing wanted to pull Chu Xiangyun and turn her head away, she immediately continued: "This doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with my body, it's just a psychological problem. β
Shi Zhuqing had already given up listening to this person's nonsense, but she didn't expect Chu Xiangyun to stop instead, looking very interested, she had to turn around angrily.
"You go on."
"To put it simply, I can't climb up alone, I have to be accompanied."
"......" Shi Zhuqing regretted that he had wasted his time here, "It means that you want to follow us, right?" Just follow it, we don't care where your legs go. β
"It's more than that." Seeing that the other party suddenly showed a shy smile, Shi Zhuqing had a sense of foreboding.
"I also hope that when I can't walk, you can ...... A little encouragement. The other person gestured a distance between his index finger and thumb, indicating that he needed only a small amount of help.
Shi Zhu looked at her with a cold face, and suddenly sighed, "Don't you mean that you are a person who gives up easily and needs encouragement from others to persevere, so you want to find someone to work with, don't you?" β
The other party's expression was as if someone had punched her, and she looked at Shi Zhuqing in a daze.
"Next time, you can just say it, don't beat around the bush about what to 'trade'." Shi Zhuqing pulled Chu Xiangyun to turn around and take the supplies, and when he saw that she didn't follow, he stopped to look at her, "Let's go, what are you still doing in a daze?" β
The man came to his senses, and immediately trotted over and walked beside the two of them.
"Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Chu Lian."
β¦β¦
"Speaking of which, why did you choose the two of us?"
"Ah, that's right." Chu Lian scratched his face and turned his head to Chu Xiangyun, "I saw you in the editing of Lingxiao Mansion before. β
"Did you subconsciously find someone familiar?" Shizhuqing asked.
"That's right." Chu Lian smiled and nodded.
Not really.
There are so many people who appear in the video of Lingxiao Mansion, such as the person who went up the mountain first, it seems to be the one named Pei Yang, and the foreign girl who is using the scepter as a trekking pole in front of her, she has seen it and is impressed.
chose Chu Xiangyun just because she was different in the film.
She genuinely helped False, she didn't see him as a task set by an exam, or a cold NPC, she saw him as someone who needed help.
So Chu Lian knew that if she asked her for help, she would agree.
*
There were no words along the way, because several people were not familiar with each other, so they saved time chatting, obviously they were the last to set off, but soon after their progress surpassed that of some people with poor physical strength.
Chu Lian looked along the way, constantly observing the surrounding terrain, Shi Zhuqing and Chu Xiangyun did not urge her, after all, it had been said at the beginning that she would command the current itinerary.
After a moment she suddenly stopped, touched her chin and thought, "I think...... That road seemed to be closer. β
"Were you looking at this just now?"
"It's amazing."
The two on the other side spoke at the same time, but their reactions were completely different.
Shi Zhu glanced at Chu Xiangyun, "Don't follow the bad learning!" β
"Eh-" Chu Lian stretched out the tone of his voice, "How can this be called learning badly, it is obviously a reasonable use of one's own wisdom." β
She rushed to Chu Xiangyun's side, Chu Xiangyun guessed that she might have practiced some body technique, her speed of action was always fast, and she was very good at restraining her breath.
"Sister, how's it going? Do you want to take a walk? β
Shi Zhuqing knocked off her hand on Chu Xiangyun's shoulder, looking unhappy, "Don't mess with the relationship." β
"How do you know it's closer?"
"Ah, speaking of which." As if he remembered something, Chu Lian suddenly took out a piece of paper from his backpack and spread it out, Chu Xiangyun and Shi Zhuqing went up to watch, and at the same time let out a sound of surprise.
Chu Xiangyun looked at her with interest, "Why do you have this?" β
Shi Zhuqing slapped her hand, and at the same time vigilantly scanned the surroundings to see if there was anyone, "Put it away, don't let others see it!" β
It turned out to be a map of the mountain, and the word "Lingxiao Mansion" was clearly marked in the top corner.
Chu Lian followed Shi Zhuqing's strength and took it back into his backpack, and turned his head to look at Chu Xiangyun, "Smart people will always have a little trick...... To put it simply, you can buy anything with money. β
