"I just went to the bathroom and met Teacher Xu. He said that this afternoon's event will be held in the back mountain. Let's find a suitable shady place to send him the location." Cao Xiu said to Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng looked at Cao Xiu with some confusion.

"Lang Bushin went to the toilet and hasn't come back yet. I'll wait for him together." Gong Cheng said.

"My classmate just said he saw Lang Bushin going to the vending machine to buy a drink. It's quite a distance. Why are we waiting for him? Let's go first."

Cao Xiu came up and pulled Gong Cheng's arm. Gong Cheng was a little confused, but he still let himself be pulled out reluctantly.

When they walked into the corridor, several of Cao Xiu's classmates came out of the room and almost surrounded Gong Cheng.

"Let's go, let's go quickly while it's still cloudy, otherwise it will get hot again soon." said one of them.

"Yeah, I don't know why Teacher Xu chose the back mountain for the event today." said another person.

“Maybe they want us to get closer to nature, hahaha.” echoed a third person.

Gong Cheng felt something was strange but couldn't put his finger on it. He just followed them towards the back mountain and took out his cell phone to send a message to Qiao Mu and Lang Bushin respectively, "I'll go to the activity location first."

It rained last night, and the road in the back mountain was a little difficult to walk on. There was a lot of mud on the original gravel road. The deeper he went, the more strange Gong Cheng felt.

Gong Cheng stopped.

"I feel a little unwell, so I will not participate in today's activities. Thank you for your hard work in finding a venue. I will go back first, and I will ask for leave from Teacher Xu later." Gong Cheng said.

Several students looked confused and then looked at Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu tried hard to smile and grabbed Gong Cheng's arm.

"Is Gong still holding a grudge against me for what happened yesterday and so doesn't want to go find a location with me?"

"It's like fighting makes us acquainted. Look, I won't bother with you now."

"Let's go, let's go. The front desk said there is a good spot a little further ahead. We are already here, let's go a little further." Cao Xiu said.

Gong Cheng felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain it.

Another classmate pretended to be natural and came over and took Gong Cheng's other arm.

"Let's go, let's go together." said the classmate.

After arriving at the so-called good spot, Gong Cheng frowned as he looked at the nearly ten-meter-long slope in front of him and the yellow mud pit below.

Because of the rain, the yellow mud was soft and rotten.

"How do we organize activities here?" Gong Cheng asked.

"The front desk said there was a mud slide here before. It happened to rain last night, and the mud is soft now. Why don't you try it first to see if it's fun, Mr. Gong?" Cao Xiu said with a smile.

Gong Cheng sensed the ill intention in Cao Xiu's eyes, frowned and tried to leave, but Cao Xiu grabbed his shoulder. Several other people also surrounded him and forced Gong Cheng towards the slope.

"Brother Cao, do we really want to play like this?" One of the students asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? The employees have said that this is an entertainment project and it has just been abandoned for a while. They just want him to roll in the mud, not jump off a cliff." Cao Xiu said.

Gong Cheng was forced to retreat by several people, with half of his foot already stepping into the air. He pursed his lips, thinking about the feasibility of resisting several people alone.

"Gong Xueba, do you want to jump down by yourself, or should I push you down?"

"It's just a mud game. It doesn't cost you your life. Don't be afraid. Look at how you are shaking, you wimp." Cao Xiu's eyes were full of pride.

Gong Cheng was about to pounce over, but suddenly the mud under his feet collapsed, and he missed a step and fell down.

Things happened so fast that Cao Xiu and his companions were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. They looked at Gong Cheng with horror in their eyes.

After all, this mud slide is safe only if you slide down. If you fall headfirst you'll be crippled if not killed.

But I saw Gong Cheng grabbing a rope fixed to the ground, which must have been a facility used for climbing at that time.

Seeing that Gong Cheng was fine, Cao Xiu felt relieved and then a smile appeared on his face again.

"Why are you still struggling? Your clothes are already dirty anyway, so just go downstairs. It's just a matter of washing dirty clothes." Cao Xiu said.

Gong Cheng's palms hurt as he held the rope, his strength was wasting away, and his face gradually began to lose color.

The mud under my feet was too slippery and I couldn't stand.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of entertainment equipment would have a safety rope tied to the body to provide some leverage, but at this time one could only rely on one's own strength.

After waiting for two minutes and seeing that Gong Cheng refused to give up and was unwilling to go down, but could not climb up by himself, Cao Xiu gradually lost his patience.

"No more waiting, let's go back. He will definitely fall down anyway, so let's just wait and see him come back covered in mud later."

"You must have your cell phones and cameras ready by then, hahaha." Cao Xiu led the way with a smile, and the others followed.

At the same time, Xu Yanze went downstairs and saw Su Lingling, who looked anxious and about to cry, at the door.

Su Lingling saw Xu Yanze coming out and rushed over.

"Teacher Xu, what should I do?" Su Lingling said anxiously.

Xu Yanze looked down at Su Lingling who was crying.

"Student Su, what happened?" Xu Yanze said.

"I don't know either. Cao Xiu and the others said they wanted to punish Gong Cheng, and I couldn't stop them. Then, about ten minutes ago, I saw them taking Gong Cheng to the back mountain. I don't know what they were going to do."

"Just now I saw Cao Xiu and the others coming back, but I didn't see Gong Cheng."

"Will something happen to Gong Cheng? Should I call the police?" Su Lingling asked anxiously.

Xu Yanze's face turned cold when he heard this.

"They are all students. They probably won't do anything to really hurt Gong Cheng. They are probably just playing a prank on him."

"Don't call the police yet. I'm going to the back hill to look for Gong Cheng now. Go to the group and inform other students that the afternoon activities will be postponed."

After Xu Yanze finished speaking, he stuffed the information in his hand into Su Lingling's hand, then ran towards the back mountain.

You can see clear yellow mud footprints along the way, so it is relatively easy to find.

By the time Xu Yanze found Gong Cheng, Gong Cheng could hardly hold on to the rope. He had slipped down a bit and was sweating profusely.

The originally white neck was stained red, the yellow mud was on his face, the palms of his hands were also covered with yellow mud, and the originally white shirt was no longer clean, with mud all over his chest.

When Xu Yanze found Gong Cheng, his first reaction was to rush over, but he stopped about two meters away. From this angle, Gong Cheng could not see Xu Yanze.

Xu Yanze's heart sank at this moment, and his heartbeat slowed down.

This is just an entertainment facility and there is no danger. If you fall down, you will just get covered in mud. Do you need to save him?

Xu Yanze had looked up his information and knew that he came from a poor family and his mother was seriously ill.

People like Gong Cheng should have been struggling in the mud, should have been worried about making a living, should have been abandoned like garbage, and should have lived in darkness in a corner where no one can see them.

Just like myself.

But it was only because he met Tao Zhi that Tao Zhi pulled him out of the mud, dressed him up in a bright and handsome manner, and attracted all of Tao Zhi's attention.

We are all the same, but someone gave you a hand.

And after all these years, I am still stuck in the mud.

Being suffocated all the time, but unable to die.

Or just let him fall into the mud, Xu Yanze thought.
