Chapter 837: Got Lost Climbing the Mountain
"Oh, right! I almost forgot, how much food do you have left now?" Fengjian seemed to have thought of something and asked everyone.
"I have some potato chips and other things here, and everyone should have enough water." Mingxu nodded and told them about the food in his backpack.
"What about the others? The most important thing right now is food. Let's take out all the snacks in our backpacks now." Fengjian looked at the others and asked.
"Wow, there are so many snacks. It seems that we don't have to worry about not having anything to eat for lunch." Zhengnan looked at all the food gathered together and immediately laughed.
"For the time being, we can't eat all of this at once." Mingxi looked at Zhengnan and smiled.
"Ah, why?" Zhengnan was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Because, we might have to spend several days on the mountain. So we should eat these things little by little in a planned way." Before Mingxu could speak, Fengjian said first.
"After all, we don't have a specific idea of how far away the top of the mountain is, so..." Mingxu spread his hands.
"No, no, no. I think we should just eat to our heart's content first and think about tomorrow's matters tomorrow." Xiaoxin expressed a different opinion.
"Are you sure?" Mingxu's voice came from behind Xiaoxin. Xiaoxin was stunned, and then he reacted immediately: "Xiaoxu, I'm not talking about after you suppress it."
“(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~” Mingxu rolled his eyes at Xiaoxin.
"You've always lived like this, right?" Kazama rolled his eyes at Shin-chan.
After putting the food together, everyone distributed some food. As soon as he finished eating, Xiaoxin said he was thirsty.
"Then why don't you just drink some water?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly.
"No, I really want to drink a cup of tea now, but I'm not picky now. One hundred percent natural juice is fine." As he said that, Shin-chan's eyes fell on Kazama. After all, he was the one who had the juice now.
"Hmph, this is the only thing you remember so clearly. Here, water is very precious. One person can only drink half of the cup lid." As he said that, Kazama took out the juice and handed it to Shinnosuke.
Seeing that Xiaoxin was about to fill the cup, Fengjian quickly called for a stop: "Okay, okay, stop!"
"Ah! It's not even halfway there!" Shin-chan said as he was about to continue pouring, but Kazama reached out and stopped Shin-chan: "It's just halfway there! Okay, give it back to me!"
"How do you know! Have you measured it?"
"My eyes are more accurate than calipers!"
Watching the two quarreling, Mingxu looked up at the stone slab. No, why are you so serious? He shook his head, grabbed one in each hand, and then told Zhengnan to come over and take away the bottles and lids from them.
"Xiao Xin, now is not the time for you to act arrogantly. Just listen to everyone. If you continue to act like this, I will cancel your cookies for a week!" Mingxu looked at Xiao Xin and said expressionlessly.
"...I understand." Xiao Xinwenyan immediately became quiet. How could this be possible with only a few cookies a week!
"Okay, everyone, share a drink, and then we can rest." Mingxu looked at the expressions of several people and instructed.
"Okay." Everyone nodded when they heard this.
After finishing his meal, Mingxu looked at the few people who were still energetic and said, "It's time now, everyone should go to bed early. We will set off at dawn tomorrow."
"Let's have a pillow fight before going to bed!" Xiao Xinwenyan suggested.
"Okay." Zhengnan agreed subconsciously.
"Where is your pillow?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly.
"This." Xiao Xin said as he picked up a stone.
"..Do you want your head to explode?" Mingxu asked Xiaoxin speechlessly.
"That's right, this is like throwing stones! Do you want to die?" Fengjian also shouted.
"Okay, don't think too much and go to bed early." After Mingxu comforted a few people, everyone went to bed.
Before going to bed, Mingxu moved some stones to block the cold wind from the cave entrance.
In the middle of the night, everyone fell silent as they watched Kazama sucking on Shin-chan's cheek and talking in his sleep. Shin-chan was not even awakened by the sucking, so it seemed that he was really tired today...
Mingxu didn't know whether he should interrupt them.
In the morning, after watching the wind and rain stop outside, everyone ate a simple meal and walked out of the cave.
"Okay, we must reach the top of the mountain safely today!"
"You're so energetic after sucking my cheek like this." After listening to Kazama's words, Shin-chan touched his cheek and complained.
"Uh... cough cough cough." Fengjian coughed a few times awkwardly.
"Okay, let's set off now!" Mingxu said to them.
"Come to think of it, this is also a rare experience." Kazama nodded.
"Come to think of it, this is not the first or second time we've gotten lost in the mountains..." Zhengnan said from the side, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, no more talking, let's go!" Mingxu raised his hand and shouted.
"Let's go, get out of the smallpox!" Xiaoxin shouted.
"Let's go!" everyone shouted.
Continuing along the road ahead, they came to a wooden bridge.
"Is this bridge okay?" Zhengnan asked worriedly, looking at the shaky bridge in front of him.
"At the moment, it seems that there is no other way to go except this one." Looking around, Mingxu spread his hands.
"Okay, I'm going over there!" Xiao Xin said as he ran forward and soon reached the other side. Mingxu was afraid that something might go wrong, so he hurriedly followed.
"Oh, what a reckless guy!" Fengjian complained.
"It seems to be okay this time." Seeing the two people reach the other side safely, several people nodded and followed.
"The bridge is shaking..." Zhengnan said worriedly while walking on the bridge.
"Of course this will shake." Fengjian comforted.
"The old bridge is dangerous, please do not cross..." Mingxu noticed a sign next to it at this time, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. You know, there is a fast-flowing water under this bridge!
"Xiao Xu, this..." Xiao Xin was about to say something when Ming Xu covered his mouth. It's better to be quiet now and let them come over first.
It was not until they had all walked across the bridge that Mingxu pointed at the sign and told them. The kids immediately felt a chill on their backs. It was a close call just now. Looking at the rushing water below, if they fell, they would probably be torn to pieces.
After they all recovered, they continued on their journey.
But they didn't walk for long before they sat down to rest.
"My feet hurt so much!"
"I'm so hungry again..."
"Come on, what's left is probably only enough for one meal. After that we must hurry up and go up the mountain." Mingxu said as he watched several people take out the remaining food.
"Yeah." Everyone nodded in agreement.
But then Mingxu looked at the dead tree beside him and suddenly seemed to remember something!
"That's right! We can make a fire as a signal smoke to tell others our location, so we don't have to go up the mountain!" Mingxu said this with a little regret. Why didn't he think of such a simple truth?
"Yes!" Several people also reacted. After finishing their food, they collected wood around them, started a fire, and put some green leaves and wet wood on the flame. Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke rose up.
"Look! There is black smoke over there. Is that where those kids are?" As soon as the black smoke rose, Teacher Yoshinaga noticed it and shouted, pointing at it.
"It should be right, it's over there! Let's go!" The search and rescue team roughly estimated the location, and then led people to run towards the place where the black smoke rose.
Soon, they found the little ones who were still making black smoke. Looking at their dark little faces, Teacher Yoshinaga couldn't hold it in anymore and hugged them and started crying.
"Finally found you."
"Teacher, don't cry, we are all fine." Mingxu patted the teacher's back to comfort him. He also knew that they must have been frightened during the time they were missing.
"The child has been found!" The search and rescue personnel also reported the incident to their superiors, and then looked at the teachers and students who were hugging each other and crying, and immediately sighed, after all, they were still a group of children.
After being brought down the mountain, the little ones were sent to the hospital for examination by the director and others. After confirming that there were no problems, they were taken home. As for their families, they certainly could not hide the truth, and when they returned home, they all had a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
