Fortunately, although there have been continuous showers for the first few days before the November holiday, the gloomy sky barely cleared up on the day of camping.
The night before, Tang Xiaonian started busy preparing luggage for Tang Junhe, as if Tang Junhe was going to travel around the world.
"Bring some fruit? Eat it when you are in the car, don't just eat snacks, get angry."
"Bring you some bread, and this biscuit. You don't know if you can bake something edible during the picnic. How can a group of little kids know how to cook?"
"And this thermos, I'll fill you with hot water tomorrow and bring it with you." Tang Xiaonian pulled up his schoolbag, carried it, and said to himself, "Is it heavy?" Then he beckoned Tang Junhe Come over, "Can you try to sink?"
Tang Junhe walked over, picked it up, and said, "It's not sinking."
"Wear a coat tomorrow, it's cold at night," Tang Xiaonian said, and was about to go to Tang Junhe's room to find a coat for him, when he remembered something, he turned around and said to Yang Chengchuan who was sitting on the sofa, "There are so many things, Shall I ask the driver to deliver it tomorrow?"
Yang Chengchuan nodded and said, "I'll tell Old Chen later, don't mess around, the child can clean up these things by himself."
For Yang Xuan, Yang Chengchuan has always practiced the "ruling by doing nothing" method of stocking. Although the eldest son he cultivated is not satisfactory in his opinion, he still can't understand that Tang Xiaonian has to do everything. way of education.
Early the next morning, when several people were still having breakfast, Yang Chengchuan's driver arrived downstairs early.
"Yang Xuan and Jun He will go in your Uncle Chen's car in a while." Before leaving, Yang Chengchuan couldn't be relieved, and he also said a few words, "It rained a few days ago, and the road on the mountain is slippery. Don't run around then. Walk along the mountain road that has been repaired. After all, you have to stay outside for one night, you two have to take care of each other, eat and live together, especially Yang Xuan, you have to take good care of your brother, do you hear me?"
Yang Xuan didn't answer, and went back to the room after eating, and took out his travel bag.
Yang Chengchuan sighed. Although on the surface, he always said that Tang Junhe was more sensible than Yang Xuan, but in his heart, he still felt that Yang Xuan was more worry-free than Tang Junhe. Although Yang Xuan often disappears for several days without saying hello, he will come back after a while, so for Yang Chengchuan who is busy with work, apart from his grades, this eldest son does not have much needs Where he worries.
Tang Junhe followed Yang Xuan downstairs with a bulging travel bag on his back. The two walked out of the corridor one after the other, Yang Xuan opened the co-pilot's door and sat in, and Tang Junhe sat behind the driver.
The driver was smoking outside the car. Seeing them coming, he quickly took a cigarette and sat in the car. Just about to start the car, he saw Tang Xiaonian chasing them out through the front mirror.
The driver backed the car in the direction of Tang Xiaonian, stepped on the brakes, lowered the window, and asked while pushing the car door: "What's the matter, sister-in-law?"
"It's all right, don't come down," Tang Xiaonian reached into the rear window and handed the phone to Tang Junhe, "I knew you definitely didn't bring your phone, and you never brought it when I bought it for you. To the top of the mountain Give me a call, do you hear me?"
"Understood." Tang Junhe unzipped his schoolbag, barely stuffing his phone into the gap.
Tang Xiaonian watched the driver drive the car out of the community, and then went upstairs in peace.
The driver raised the window, leaving only a gap, and said to Yang Xuan next to him, "Going camping?"
When Yang Xuan was in junior high school, Uncle Chen always picked him up and went to and from school, so he couldn't be unfamiliar with him, so he replied, "Yeah."
"It's time to have a good meal, and you can't watch it," said Uncle Chen. "And the two brothers go out together, so you don't have to worry too much about it."
Yang Xuan didn't speak. He lowered his head and opened the glove box. He took out several CDs from inside, took out one and put it in the car CD player, and then pressed the play button.
Uncle Chen drove him for a few years, so he naturally understood that what he did was to calmly remind him that he didn't want to talk now.
When he arrived at the destination, Chen Shucai said again: "Have you two brought water? There is mineral water in the car, do you want to take a few bottles?"
Yang Xuan said: "Bring it."
"Where's Jun He?" Chen Shu turned his head and asked.
Tang Junhe nodded and said, "Yes." There was faint expectation in his eyes. This was his first time going camping on the mountain, and he was especially looking forward to things like picnics and tents.
"Jun He hasn't been there before, right?" Seeing his expression, Uncle Chen asked with a smile.
Tang Junhe nodded again: "Yes."
Uncle Chen thought it was a little funny. The two brothers looked alike, and they seemed to have some similarities in personality, but they looked very different. The older one is not lukewarm about anything, and the younger one...Although he often looks indifferent, his expression occasionally reveals innocence and curiosity that are different from those of his peers.
The bus that was packed stopped at the agreed place, Tang Junhe carried a heavy schoolbag, and got on the bus after Yang Xuan.
As soon as he saw Yang Xuan, Feng Bo got excited and shouted: "Brother Xuan, sit here, let's sleep in a tent for four nights!"
Yang Xuan sat down and said "Mmm" indifferently.
Tang Junhe was walking in the aisle between the two rows of seats, and seeing that all the places around Yang Xuan were occupied, he raised his chin and looked back, and was about to walk towards an empty seat, when Yin Cong raised his arms in front of his eyes Bottom waved: "Sit here at the same table, I have a seat for you."
Yin Cong and Ying Hui sat behind Yang Xuan and Feng Bo, and the seat she occupied for Tang Junhe was in the row next to them across the aisle. Tang Junhe looked down at the place where she put her schoolbag, and he could see Yang Xuan from this seat, so he nodded his thanks.
The students in class three got on the bus one after another. As Ying Hui said that day, except for a small number of students who really couldn't come because of something, most of them still had a very positive attitude towards this camp. After all, class gatherings in the past were held in restaurants or KTVs, and there was no way to open up to the wild. This time, no one is in charge of going up the mountain. It will be an unusual outdoor experience.
Before the start of the train, the people in the car had already had a heated discussion about who would sleep in a tent with whom at night. The strength and fragility of friendship are fully exposed at this time. The few people who have a good relationship will naturally form a group, and the few people who are left alone will be in an awkward situation.
Tang Junhe was one of the few people who hadn't made up his mind, but unlike them, he didn't feel embarrassed. If he doesn't live with Yang Xuan, it doesn't matter if he lives with anyone, and there's nothing wrong with living by himself—and it's obvious that Yang Xuan won't live with him.
When everyone arrived, the squad leader counted the number of people who signed up, and the driver started to leave.
The topic of living in tents has come to an end, and the few people who are alone naturally choose to form a partnership and develop a close friendship temporarily.
Tang Junhe put on his hood and was about to sleep on the back seat when someone walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. When he turned his head, he saw Li Li, the squad leader, was about to talk to him, so he took off his hood and looked at him.
"Will you come with us?" Li Li is a clean and gentle boy, and he is also an absolute good student in the eyes of the teacher. Before Tang Junhe transferred to the third class, he always took the top position in the class. He pointed to himself and Ding Wenying, the physics class representative next to him, "The three of us will live together. Do you think it will be okay to find a three-person tent then?"
Tang Junhe looked at him and nodded.
Li Li smiled at him: "Then follow us after getting off the car."
At first, the bus drove in the city center where traffic was congested, wobbling and stopping, and it took half an hour to break out of the encirclement. After getting on the expressway, the speed increased. Many people closed the windows next to them to block out the sound of the wind. , leaned against the seat and fell asleep.
But after a while, a lot of people fell asleep in the car, and the remaining few energetic people were chatting quietly, their voices hidden in the humming of the speeding car.
After driving for about two hours, the bus arrived at its destination. The people in the car had all woken up, they got off in twos and threes, and stood there waiting for a few leading people to come forward and negotiate with the staff of the scenic spot.
The staff member handed the ticket to Feng Bo, then raised his voice and said to the people behind: "It rained a few days ago, everyone should pay attention to walking on the stairs. Don't walk in disorder, it is easy to cause danger. Don't go to the camping place." Going up, there are gravel roads on it, you can go up on a sunny day, but you must not take risks in this weather, do you understand clearly, students?"
The students who were full of sleep on the way nodded and answered in unison in a drawn out tone: "Listen clearly—"
The man looked at the leading students and said, "Don't tell everyone not to go up there, no one can take responsibility if something happens."
Yin Cong tilted his head beside him and interjected, "It's such a pity. I heard that you can pray in the temple on the top of the mountain. Is it true or not?"
Feng Bo turned his head and said mockingly: "What do you want to pray for? A happy marriage for a hundred years or an early baby?"
Yin Cong raised his leg and kicked him: "Damn, I wish I could get into college!"
"It's the Marriage Temple, okay..." Feng Bo twisted his waist to avoid it, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether you get into college or not."
When the staff member heard Yin Cong mentioning this incident, she hurriedly stopped her thoughts: "Don't go up no matter what you pray for, safety first, don't make trouble, you guys."
Yin Cong said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, we have all received a materialistic education and don't believe in ghosts and gods."
After explaining everything, the staff of the scenic spot let them go, and more than 30 students walked up the mountain talking and laughing.
Yang Xuan and Feng Bo walked faster, always walking in front. Tang Junhe walked with Li Li and Ding Wenying, a little behind, but kept a distance where he could see Yang Xuan.
Originally, Li Li brought Tang Junhe along because of Yin Cong's proposal and the monitor's sense of responsibility. In addition, it was rumored at work that Tang Junhe's mother was Deputy Mayor Yang's mistress. Many people were curious. I want to take this opportunity to find out what Tang Junhe has to say.
After walking for a while, Li Li and Ding Wenying were a little tired, and their climbing speed slowed down, so they turned to talk to Tang Junhe: "Yang Xuan is your brother?"
Tang Junhe said, "Yes."
"I'll just say that you two are xuan and the other is awesome. Your father really has high expectations for you two."
Seeing that Tang Junhe didn't answer, but looked up frequently, Li Li asked knowingly, "Since it's your brother, why don't you go together?"
Tang Junhe heard his overtones, glanced at him coldly and said, "Didn't you say that you want me to go with you?"
Li Li didn't expect that he would take the blame on himself, he was taken aback for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Then you can go with them too."
He thought that if he said this, Tang Junhe would be deflated, after all, Yang Xuan and Feng Bo obviously wouldn't talk to him. Unexpectedly, Tang Junhe did not show the reaction he expected. Instead, he immediately accelerated his pace as if he had unloaded a burden, and said "Then I'll go first" without looking back, and rushed forward .
After all, for Tang Junhe, he originally felt that Li Li and Ding Wenying were walking a little slowly. Seeing that the distance from Yang Xuan was getting farther and farther, he secretly felt a little anxious. Now that Li Li said so, he can follow him as he pleases Go up, only fall a few meters away from Yang Xuan, and make sure Yang Xuan is within his field of vision.
The group of people who walked in front arrived at the camping place first before the sun went down, and after a short rest, they eagerly went to the nearby area to pick up their tents.
Tang Junhe also followed. While queuing up, he heard Ying Hui and Yin Cong discussing about the Marriage Temple. Following their line of sight, Tang Junhe turned his head to look over - due to the rain a few days ago, the road leading to the top of the mountain has been blocked, but the blockade is not very tight, just between two plastic square cones A red banner was pulled up, which read "It is forbidden to go up the mountain, and those who violate it will bear the consequences", just as a warning.
"It's too simple." Ying Hui turned to look at the banner and said, "Those who want to go up will go up as soon as they lift their legs."
"You want to go up?" Yin Cong winked at her, pointed to Yang Xuan in front of her, and made a silent mouth, "With him?"
Ying Hui smiled and stretched out his hand to push her.
When Feng Bo heard them discussing the marriage temple, he turned his head and winked and said, "I heard it's very spiritual, Sister Hui."
Chen Hao added coolly next to him: "Feudal superstition, Marx and his old man must come out of the ground in the middle of the night to beat you."
While talking, the staff moved out several tents. Yang Xuan lived with Feng Bo, Chen Hao, and Wang Xingchun, and took a four-person tent. When passing by Tang Junhe, he was listening to Feng Bo talking enthusiastically about setting up the tent, and didn't devote any energy to taking care of him.
Chen Hao and Wang Xingchun helped Yin Cong and Ying Hui move their tents. When Yin Cong turned his head and saw Tang Junhe following behind, he turned around and asked him, "Aren't you with Li Li and the others?"
Tang Junhe said: "They walked too slowly."
"Then you go get the tent first," Yin Cong suggested, "I'll go get it with you, you are a three-person tent, right?"
Tang Junhe nodded.
The two walked to the place where the tent was picked up, and the staff in charge moved out a three-person tent. Yin Cong lifted it up and said, "I'll carry it back with you."
"I can lift it myself." Tang Junhe picked up the tent from the middle, and walked to the sleeping place with some difficulty.
He wanted to set up the tent wholeheartedly, and he studied it for a while without distraction, but because there was no instruction manual, it was his first contact with this thing, and he was somewhat at a loss. He turned his head to look in Yang Xuan's direction, then walked over and stood silently watching him set up the tent.
Yang Xuan is skilled at setting up tents, and most of the time he only needs Feng Bo to do some basic work. Feng Bo stepped on the corner of the inner tent, looking around idly.
Yang Xuan took the skeleton through the pull ring directly above, and reminded Feng Bo: "Insert the pin on the side into the skeleton."
"Oh," Feng Bo replied, but he was not in a hurry to move. He just put his hands around his mouth and shouted into the distance, "Did you find the place to get the picnic tools?"
"I found it," Ying Hui's voice came from afar, "it's right there—"
Seeing that Feng Bo didn't move, Tang Junhe walked over, squatted down and looked at the latch, and then inserted it into the skeleton as Yang Xuan said.
"Are you ready?" Yang Xuan urged from the opposite side.
"Oh, let's go now, what are you doing?" Feng Bo responded, lowering his head, seeing Tang Junhe standing up, he frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"The plug is ready." Tang Junhe ignored him and said to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan raised his head and saw him, he paused slightly, but his expression didn't show surprise, he just said, "Come and help me fix this side."
Tang Junhe walked over and asked, "Where?"
"Here," Yang Xuan raised his foot and stepped on the position that needs to be fixed, "I have stepped on it."
Tang Junhe replied "Yes", and stepped on it.
"What's the trick?" Feng Bo obviously didn't trust him, so he walked to the side, checked the position of the latch, raised his head and asked Yang Xuan, "Brother Xuan, is the latch inserted like this?"
Yang Xuan was breaking the frame and propping the tent out of its shape. Hearing his mental retardation, he didn't even look at it and said, "How else can I insert it?"
Feng Bo was choked up and didn't dare to refute, so he could only curl his lips and sulk at Tang Junhe.
Yang Xuan quickly propped up the inner tent and began to set up the outer tent. He squatted down and hooked the hooks at the four corners of the outer tent to the pull rings of the inner tent. Tang Junhe imitated him and helped him put the remaining two hooks hooked.
After doing some fixed work, Yang Xuan walked into the tent, checked some details, and squatted down to try the zipper on the door. Tang Junhe walked to the door, looked inside, and asked him, "Can I go in and have a look?"
Yang Xuan turned to make room for him: "Look."
Tang Junhe walked in, turned around, and tried to pull the window on one side twice.
Yang Xuan squatted halfway, lowered his head to reinforce one corner, and asked casually, "Who do you live with?"
Tang Junhe thought for a while and said, "Squad leader, and the physics class representative."
Yang Xuan let out a "hmm" and wanted to say something else, but Feng Bo poked his head in and shouted, "Brother Xuan, Haozi can't make a deal, go and have a look."
Chen Hao and Wang Xingchun set up the tent of the two girls. Yang Xuan heard the words, responded, and walked out with a slight bow. Before leaving, he said: "Wait..." Then Feng Bo pulled him away.
The words were vague, and the direction was unclear. Who waited, waited for what, did not make it clear. But Tang Junhe instinctively felt that Yang Xuan's words were meant for himself, and he listened to the words in his ears, sitting on the moisture-proof mat and waiting. Anyway, if Yang Xuan asked him to wait, he would wait forever, because Yang Xuan would definitely come back.
After waiting for an indeterminate amount of time, the dusk gradually deepened, and the shadows on the ground gradually elongated with the setting sun slanting to the west. Tang Junhe was a little tired from sitting, so he walked out of the tent and looked outside.
The people in the class came up one after another, sitting on the ground panting and chatting, not many people were in a hurry to set up tents, most of them were waiting for the staff to come to help.
Tang Junhe went out, hugged the three-person tent, and began to try to set it up. He only watched Yang Xuan set it up once, and he memorized all the steps, but the multi-person tent needs someone's assistance to set it up. He operated it by himself, and he was inevitably a little bit overwhelmed.
Seeing Tang Junhe running around a tent, Li Li and Ding Wenying, who were sitting on the side, realized their conscience, and walked over after a short rest, and asked with some distrust: "Is this the right way?"
Tang Junhe didn't respond, and was busy working on his own. Those two had never set up a tent before, so they planned to be lazy, but seeing Tang Junhe was having a great time setting up a tent, they also rolled up their sleeves and started to help.
It didn't take long for the tent to be set up. Tang Junhe raised his chin and looked around, but he still didn't see Yang Xuan's figure. He began to feel restless, and walked towards the tent Yang Xuan built, wanting to continue sitting there and waiting for him. As soon as he got close to the tent, Feng Bo came over, stretched out his arms to stop him, and said in a bad tone, "Why did you enter our tent? Don't you have one yourself?"
Tang Junhe didn't intend to argue with him, but just asked, "Where's Yang Xuan?"
Feng Bo sat down by the tent, shoulders slumped, and said indifferently: "You don't care."
"He told me to wait for him here." Tang Junhe said, squatting down against the tent, and continued to look for Yang Xuan's figure with his eyes.
Feng Bo sneered: "Why didn't I hear brother Xuan tell you to wait for him, you must be hallucinating..." While speaking, he turned his face and saw the red banner "No going up the mountain" in the distance, so he made up his mind , stretched out his hand and pointed to the banner not far away with great kindness: "Did you see that road? Yang Xuan and Ying Hui went up the mountain."
Tang Junhe didn't quite believe it, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it forbidden to go up the mountain?"
Feng Bo laughed a few times, dragged his tone, and said casually: "It depends on who will allow it, and who will not allow it. Ying Hui wants him to go, can he not go?"
Seeing that Tang Junhe was still a little suspicious, Feng Bo reached out to touch his arm and said, "Hey, did you fall in love with Ying Hui?"
Tang Junhe just glanced at him coldly, and threw out the words he choked on himself just now: "You don't care."
"You have no chance of winning against Yang Xuan." Feng Bo felt uncomfortable at his glance, and said mysteriously, "You don't really think that there is nothing between them, do you? Look at what Brother Xuan looks like on the surface, you understand that it’s called refusal? Otherwise, how could he agree to go to the Marriage Temple as soon as Ying Hui asked?”
Hearing this, Tang Junhe became even more anxious and uneasy—Yang Xuan had been out of his sight for long enough. If it is true what Feng Bo said, he and Ying Hui went to the marriage temple on the mountain... Tang Junhe thought so, stood up with his hands on the ground, and ran towards the mountain road in a hurry before he could stand still past.
Feng Bo didn't get a response, and was about to turn his head to look at him provocatively. When he saw this, he was stunned for a moment—Tang Junhe's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, raised his legs and ran away without looking back.
"Hey—" Feng Bo looked at his running back, subconsciously cried out, came back to his senses, picked up a handful of grass from the ground, threw it out, and cursed: "Fuck, are you really in love with Ying Hui? Xiaosan'er is also born with Xiaosan'er."
