Chapter 7 Responsibilities

The sun was high in the sky, indicating that it was noon.

The villagers in Xiejiao Village used to bring lunch to eat in the field and work until evening, so no one noticed that Meng Yan and others had left.

He took advantage of this time to lead the students to walk in the opposite direction of the farmland, and did not slow down until they entered the dense forest halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Meng... Where are we going?" Lin Manshu asked in a low voice.

Meng Yan replied, "I have seen the direction of the mountain road before, and it goes all the way to the north, but walking along the road is the most dangerous way. We have to climb the mountain in the north direction and cross this basin to Wangmo County."

"Where is the north?" Li Qing was out of breath, "It's impossible to see it in the forest."

Meng Yan didn't panic, he took out the watch that Li Qing wanted to come, "The hour hand at zero o'clock is true north, the sun circles once, and the hour hand of the watch will circle twice..."

"So?" Li Qing scratched his head.

"Divide the current time by two, and then point the pointer of the resulting number to the sun, then the direction at twelve o'clock is north."

Meng Yan aimed the six o'clock at the scorching sun on the roaster's back, and quickly figured out the direction he was in.

"Very well, my sense of direction is not wrong, we are indeed heading north."

"Damn it, it's amazing." Baby-faced Li Qing's eyes were full of admiration.

"Nothing, just the most basic tricks."

Meng Yan put the watch in his pocket, and judged the location of the water source based on the terrain and the rat trails left by the animals.None of them had breakfast, and all of them needed to eat in order to replenish their strength.

Without saying a word, he led everyone to the choppy river, and filled two large basins of water with the iron basin he carried.

"Is this going to make a fire for cooking?" Li Qing relied on his own team leader all the way, and it became a hundred thousand whys.

Meng Yan nodded.

Li Qing hurriedly took out the collected matches, and wanted to collect firewood to light the bonfire on the spot, but fortunately Meng Yan was quickly stopped by him.

"No. If you light a fire halfway up the mountain, you can see the black smoke rising ten kilometers away."

"Then what should I do..."

"Wait for me to make a smokeless fire pit."

Meng Yan's executive ability was very strong. After fetching the water, he led the people back to the forest and began to dig the hole with stones.

Li Qing and Lin Manshu didn't know what was going on, and they looked at each other, both dumbfounded.Only Lu Ren was still trapped in fear, keeping his head down and refusing to make a sound.

"Ruishen." Lin Manshu asked boldly, "What's the background of Brother Meng? I thought he was just a guide, the kind who takes us to explain in tourist attractions."

The reason why Professor Meng Wenqiang called his nephew was not because he was like a special soldier, but because he knew the local area very well and could introduce folk customs to them.

"Brother Meng is too proficient." Li Qingan felt a little puzzled, "Ruishen, you and Brother Meng are always together, do you know what to do?"

Ruishen's face was sullen, and he didn't have the gentle smile he used to give them. His sharp eyes stared at Meng Yan without blinking.

Both of them could see that Ruishen was in a bad mood, so they kept silent and stopped making fun of themselves.

Ruishen was indeed in a bad mood, because Li Qing's words were like arrows, making him clearly understand a fact.

He didn't know Meng Yan, and knew nothing about Meng Yan's current situation. The person he was most familiar with had become a stranger, which was simply the most intolerable thing for him.

Ruishen really wanted to know what Meng Yan had gone through to possess these skills.

The young team leader on the other side has already dug a U-shaped pit, put the stone slab horizontally in the middle, and surrounded it with flint stones, and the smoke-free fire pit is ready.Such a fire pit has an extra flue, which can hide the burning light and prevent smoke from rising.

Failing to do so, lighting a fire on a mountain is showing someone else the way.

He lit the bonfire, put the pot on the fire pit to cook, and then made another fire pit to fry the bacon. After a while, Meng Yan took care of the meals for the five people.

Meng Yan also chopped a moso bamboo in a hidden place, used the hollow bamboo as a bowl, and cut off the branches to make chopsticks. After distributing them to everyone, he made five long jugs out of the bamboo and filled them with the stream water he had boiled. When he came back, he still carried two snakes.

"I didn't expect to meet two vipers. This type of snake is a specialty in G Province. It has blood circulation toxins. Only 48 mg of venom can kill an adult."

Meng Yan pressed the snake's teeth against the bamboo bowl to force out the venom, and then soaked Lin Manshu's dart in it.

"Here, it will be more lethal."

Seeing Meng Yan finish her work, Lin Manshu's eyes felt hot when she finished her quiver.

"Why are you crying?" The team leader was a little at a loss.

Lin Manshu wiped her eyes, "It's okay."

She drank a big mouthful of hot water, feeling her stomach warm.She was not crying because of fear, on the contrary, she was crying because of dependence.

When they encountered mudslides, it was Meng Yan who carried them out one by one; when they were coveted by the villagers, it was Meng Yan who helped them deal with it; now that they are reduced to this barren mountain, it is Meng Yan who is helping them survive.

Lin Manshu couldn't imagine what would happen to them without Meng Yan.

Staying by Meng Yan's side will give you a feeling of being protected, not only Lin Manshu, but also Li Qing.

After eating lunch and drinking water, the two of them obviously felt that the lost physical strength had been replenished. Coupled with Meng Yan's overly reliable style, the atmosphere was not so tense.It would be better to say that the two stopped panicking and finally relaxed.

Meng Yan watched them finish eating and drinking, and the big stone in his heart loosened a lot. His face that had been expressionless all the time had returned to a carefree look, and he put on his iconic smile again.

He leaned on the boulder with his legs crossed, holding a grass leaf in his mouth, wondering what he was thinking.

"Brother Meng, when shall we continue to leave?" Li Qing asked him.

"Ten minutes, you guys digest first."

"Are you still carrying it?" Lin Manshu noticed that Meng Yan had been carrying a bag, and she remembered that it contained... Wang Bowen's flesh.

Meng Yan nodded, "Well, wait until I go out and bury Xiaopang."

Lin Manshu carefully observed the team leader, wondering if he really didn't mind or was hiding his sadness.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

Meng Yan buried the fire pit and rice bowl again, and said to himself, "I hope they don't bring dogs."

Seeing this, Li Qing wanted to help, so he took a section of tree branch and crossed out the traces they left.

"The method is wrong. You have to pat lightly, not like sweeping the floor, or it will be easy to see." Meng Yan instructed him.

After working for a while, all the proofs of the existence of everyone disappeared.

Meng Yan led them to move on, heading straight north, and did not dare to cut down bushes to clear the way when they encountered bushes, for fear of being found to be injured by plants.Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in traveling in the jungle, and with his leadership, everyone didn't suffer much.

Simply rushing on the road is very boring, but they dare not take it lightly. When climbing the mountain at full speed, no one spoke, and they were secretly competing with themselves, trying to keep up with Meng Yan.

As the sun shifts and the sky darkens, they have to face the unsettling fact that the villagers may have figured it out.

While walking, Meng Yan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Brother Meng?" Lin Manshu asked.

"Don't make any noise." Meng Yan raised his hand to signal them to be quiet. He seemed to hear a dog barking just now...

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

"They are chasing, and the sound of dogs barking is at the foot of the mountain, and the distance is still far away."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, because they didn't hear it.

Meng Yan spat out the straw in his mouth, listened carefully again, and confirmed the direction of the pursuers.

In the silent mountains, the barking of dogs can travel far, far away. After all, their ancestors are wolves. Especially in this environment, the barking of wolves can be transmitted for several kilometers.

Although the cry was very subtle, it was still captured by him.

"Follow me into the stream, the dog's nose is very sharp, it's safer to walk in the water."

Meng Yan led people into the water. As far as he knew, no one in this world could trace traces in the water.

Lin Manshu and Li Qing were shocked when they heard that the demonic villagers were chasing them, especially Lu Ren, who had not been relieved from his fear, his eyes were bigger than copper bells.

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

After Meng Yan comforted her a few times, she continued on her way until the night was about to fall and the surrounding scenery became blurred.

He was sure that the hounds would definitely lose him, so he left the stream and found a natural stone cave.

The karst landform in Guizhou is very peculiar. In the mountains, there are all kinds of caves, karst caves and rocky cliffs, which are natural shelters.After Meng Yan settled the students in the cave, he took out the needles, threads and bells that he had been carrying all along.

In the dark, he strung the cotton thread with a metal bell, which was too heavy to be blown by the wind, but would surely make a sound if the thread tripped.

Meng Yan tied the cotton thread around the bushes not far from the entrance of the cave and used it as a trip wire. If someone approached the cave, he could wake up immediately and lead the students to escape.

After finishing the work in hand, he returned to the cave.

Everyone climbed the mountain for a day, and they were already extremely tired, and they fell asleep without Meng Yanduo's words.None of them kept watch at night, because it would consume a lot of energy, and whether the night watchman could keep up with the team the next day was a problem.

Meng Yanchang sighed, and he found that since he woke up in this place, the frequency of his sighs has become much higher.

"Tired?" Rui Shen said.

"Tired."

"I didn't know you were so helpful and escaped with four oil bottles."

Meng Yan smiled, "To see Spider-Man, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Ruishen also sighed, with an unclear tone, "You won't feel that way in the future."

"I asked you if you were sick, and now you can only rely on me to survive, and you still discourage my enthusiasm." Meng Yan gritted his teeth, secretly thinking that he was really at odds with this person.

Ruishen's eyes were too complicated, as if there were countless unspeakable words, but the cave was very dark and Meng Yan couldn't see it.

"you……"

Jingle Bell--

The sound of the bell ringing interrupted Ruishen's words.

Meng Yan lowered his center of gravity in an instant, and grabbed the long spear that was on the ground.He didn't hear too many people's footsteps. He didn't know if it was a wild animal hitting the trip wire or a villager coming alone.

Until he smelled a familiar smell, it was the smell of old people mixed with the stench of rotting corpses.

Meng Yan glanced at the scarlet letter in his vision.
