Professor Shen's clingy
Chapter 31
This time, Long Xin can't be blamed either.
It was Shen Zaiqing who didn't estimate the distance when he put the mulberries into Long Xin's mouth. He shrank back a bit, and let go of his hands one after another.
Seeing that the mulberries were about to fall off, Long Xin stretched his head forward a little, trying to suck the mulberries, but accidentally touched Shen Zaiqing's fingertips.
Everything is an accident.
Shen Zaiqing's reaction this time was bigger than last time, suppressing the electric shock-like feeling, curling up her fingers as if nothing had happened, quickly turned around, put her hand on the mulberry branch, and pretended to continue picking mulberries.
But she has no intention of picking mulberries.
Shen Zaiqing picked up the basket, looked down at the half-filled mulberries inside, and felt that his hard work just now had laid a reasonable foundation for giving up at this moment.
She's had enough, she doesn't need to pick any more.
Isn't such a large basket of mulberries enough for Long Xin to eat?
Long Xin, who turned her back, chewed the mulberries in her mouth, bent her eyebrows, and tapped the mulberry leaves in front of her with her fingers. She was in a good mood. She felt that the mulberries picked by the professor were getting sweeter and sweeter, which suited her taste very well.
However, she fell from heaven to hell in the next second, and she heard Shen Zaiqing say: "Okay, Longxin, we have picked a lot, enough to eat, let's go back."
Naturally, Long Xin couldn't get enough of it, she gathered the mulberries in her basket that hadn't been flattened and said, "But Professor, I haven't picked enough, just a little."
Shen Zaiqing turned his head and took a look, and found that the mulberries in Long Xin's basket were more than half the difference from his own. He thought that this person would not have been waiting for him to feed her, so he didn't want to pick them?
In this way, it is even more impossible to pamper her.
"The mine are yours too, enough to eat." Shen Zaiqing poured all the mulberries in his basket into Long Xin's basket.
Then he pointed to it and said happily: "Look, there will be a whole basket in this way, enough is enough, let's go."
Shen Zaiqing dragged Long Xin out of Sangtian, and Liu Mao's side was over.
Several people sat in the yard, on old-fashioned armchairs, under a century-old camphor tree, washed two large plates of mulberries, and ate mulberries leisurely while blowing the cool breeze from the mountains.
Between eating mulberries, there was still chatting with each other.
The little girl couldn't sit still anymore. After staying for a while, she got tired of eating mulberries. Liu Qingyuan bounced around Liu Mao and said, "Grandpa, are we going to pick eggs today?"
Liu Mao patted the water stains off his hands, thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow is the best time to go."
Liu Qingyuan refused, her small face wrinkled, she grabbed the corner of her grandfather's clothes and said coquettishly, "But I'm going back to the city for school tomorrow, and I can't pick up eggs anymore. Can I go now?"
Liu Mao's chickens are raised in Tiandai Mountain, and their eggs are also laid in the mountain. Children are particularly interested in this kind of treasure hunting style of picking eggs.
Liu Qingyuan picked it up once before, and has never forgotten it since then. Every weekend, her parents asked her to send her to her grandfather to experience the fun of farming, and then pick her up on Monday.
I'm going back home tomorrow, and I haven't picked up the eggs yet, Liu Qingyuan feels aggrieved just thinking about it, tears are rolling in her eyes, and she looks like she's about to cry.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Aunt Liu was upset, and quickly pulled her into her arms to coax her, and said to Liu Mao angrily, "Hey, Lao Liu, you haven't picked up those eggs for several days, right? I've almost finished eating, so hurry up and take Xiao Yuan there."
Liu Mao also has his own worries: "There is not enough time now, it is already four o'clock, how many can I pick up before dark. The eggs are all in scattered places. If I don't finish picking them all at once, it will be even more difficult for me to find them the next day. .”
The main reason is that Liu Mao is getting old, his memory is not good, and his legs and feet are not as sharp as before. He finds it difficult to climb up and down.
Aunt Liu coaxed her granddaughter, gave him an annoyed look, and said loudly, "You take Xiaoyuan to pick up a batch today, and I'll pick up the rest tomorrow."
Seeing that the old woman was getting angry, Liu Mao immediately expressed his opinion and put on a smiling face: "Okay, Xiaoyuan, now I will go pick up eggs with grandpa, and grandpa will go get the big basket."
Shen Zaiqing, who was sitting by the side, heard it, and exchanged a glance with Long Xin.
Long Xin understood what she meant and nodded to her.
Then Shen Zaiqing also got up, stopped Liu Mao and said, "Uncle Liu, Long Xin and I will go together, one more person will do more work, and by the way, we can also experience the feeling of picking eggs all over the mountains and plains."
Long Xin stood beside Shen Zaiqing, obediently nodding her head in agreement.
Liu Mao was overjoyed, and the wrinkles on his face trembled slightly with a smile: "Okay, let's go together, there are many people and strength, and we can pick it up at once, so we don't have to go a second time tomorrow."
Aunt Liu was also very happy. She patted Liu Qingyuan on the back and said, "You all go together. I'll make delicious food for you at home. When you come back, it's time for dinner. You can start dinner."
"Okay!" Liu Qingyuan also stretched out her hand to make a big gesture after the rain.
Shen Zaiqing and Long Xin each carried a big basket, put on cotton gloves, and prepared to follow Liu Mao to the mountains to pick up eggs.
Liu Qingyuan was wearing thin clothes. Aunt Liu was afraid that it would be cold in the mountains and the temperature would drop again after sunset, so she took her to the room and changed into thick clothes.
Shen Zaiqing and Long Xin roughly knew the direction of the mountain they were going to, so they walked out of the yard first, and walked slowly along the cement road.
It is spring now, and the scenery in the mountains is very good. They walked and admired the scenery of Tiandai Mountain.
"Professor, I'll carry it for you." The cool mountain breeze came towards me, and Long Xin didn't sweat as much as at noon. She felt refreshed and offered to carry the basket for Shen Zaiqing.
Shen Zaiqing handed it to her, with his hands behind his back, relaxed and in a good mood.
When they walked all the way to the stone tablet on the protective layer, Shen Zaiqing identified the direction, pointed to the concrete road at the fork and said, "Long Xin, let's go there."
Long Xin listened to her: "Okay."
Before walking a few steps on the concrete road, Liu Mao behind him stopped them loudly: "Professor Shen, Long Xin, don't go that way, we have to walk this ridge, come back quickly."
Seeing that they had come, Shen Zaiqing simply went back to the stele and waited for them.
Liu Mao repeated: "The direction is that direction, but we can't go that way, we have to go this field ridge."
Shen Zaiqing is very familiar with this ridge road, it is the one she and Long Xin took when they came here.
Shen Zaiqing turned his head and glanced at the cement road at the other end, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Liu, this cement road is in good shape, why can't we walk on it? Isn't the cement road easier to walk than this ridge road?"
Liu Mao explained: "This cement road, this section is good, but there is a bend there, look, it is not far away, and the road is being repaired, and it has been repaired for several days."
"The earth-drilling machine has drilled the cement road to a bad shape, and there are loose cement blocks everywhere, which is very difficult to walk on."
"We don't go there. We take this ridge road. It's a little farther, but at least we won't sprain our feet."
Thinking of what happened yesterday, combined with what Liu Mao said, Shen Zaiqing was thoughtful again.
"Come, come, follow me, I'll take you to the place where you pick up eggs."
Liu Mao had already taken his little granddaughter to the field. Shen Zaiqing was still standing there in a daze. Long Xin was waiting for her. Seeing that she hadn't recovered for a long time, he asked, "Professor, are you leaving?"
Shen Zaiqing glanced at Long Xin, collected himself, let out a heavy breath, and said, "Let's go, let's follow."
This time Shen Zaiqing let Long Xin go ahead of her.
When she walked, she would pretend to look at the scenery, deliberately walking slowly, and Long Xin would stop from time to time, look back at herself, and turn her head to continue walking when she was beside her.
It completely copied yesterday's scene, but today's Long Xin fully showed his concern on his face, and his face and eyes were also soft.
But from this, I also learned that under the indifferent surface that day, the heart of that "Longxin" was not completely indifferent.
Shen Zaiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and his thoughts became confused again.
After walking for about 10 minutes, they came to the forest where the eggs were picked.
As soon as Liu Mao arrived at the place, he saw a pile of white eggs. He patted Liu Qingyuan on the head, pointed to a mound of dirt and said, "Little Yuan, there seems to be a pile of eggs over there. Go and have a look."
He put several layers of rags on Liu Qingyuan's basket, and reminded: "Remember to handle it with care."
"Okay grandpa!" Liu Qingyuan's excitement rose, and she responded loudly, and then ran towards the mound with joyful steps.
Liu Mao stood there and looked at her, smiling lovingly.
Shen Zaiqing took back the basket from Long Xin, put it on his hands, and asked Liu Mao: "Uncle Liu, we are ready, where do we start?"
Liu Mao pointed to the mountain path not far away, and said: "There are two roads there, both of which are common routes for chickens. See if you want to divide the troops into two roads, so hurry up."
Shen Zaiqing readily agreed: "Okay, Long Xin and I will go to the side alone, and Uncle Liu and Xiao Qingyuan can just pick them up in the area at the foot of the mountain."
She also knew that Liu Mao's legs and feet were not good, and Liu Qingyuan was too young, so climbing the mountain would definitely be inconvenient.
"Okay, thank you all."
"you are welcome."
After finishing speaking, Shen Zaiqing turned to Long Xin and said, "Let's go, Long Xin, it's getting late, we have to leave quickly."
Thinking of something, she hooked the corners of her lips, and continued: "Do you want to compete with me in picking eggs? Let's see who picks up the most, and there will be rewards for winning."
Long Xin's eyes lit up when he heard the word "reward", and he readily agreed: "Okay."
She looked at her watch: "It's 04:30, we'll stop at 05:30."
After hearing this, Liu Mao also agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's 05:30, it's almost dark, we will gather here, and then go back to eat together."
"Well, we'll be back at 05:30."
After finishing speaking, Shen Zaiqing and Long Xin set off. Before parting, Shen Zaiqing reminded Long Xin: "Some areas of this mountain are outside the protected area. You should be careful not to use spells outside the protected area."
Long Xin responded, and she also said obediently: "I know, I will report to the professor when I need to use spells."
"Then you should pay attention to safety when you go up and down the mountain."
"Well, the professor also pays attention to safety."
"Then let's get started."
They separated at a fork in the road, and both of them walked along their respective mountain trails. After a while, they walked into two different forests, and they couldn't see each other.
Shen Zaiqing goes to field trips every year and often climbs mountains. A slope that is not too steep like Tiandai Mountain is not difficult for her at all.
Long Xin has good physical fitness and quick movements. She lowered her head to pick it up a few times, and the eggs filled the bottom of her basket.
Liu Mao took his little granddaughter to pick up at the foot of the mountain. Liu Qingyuan didn't let her grandfather intervene, and carried a big basket by herself, looking for chicken nests one by one, and picking up eggs one by one.
Time passed slowly, and the sun was hanging on the mountain not far away, glowing brilliantly.
Shen Zaiqing picked up more than a dozen eggs in the chicken coop under his hands, feeling a sense of accomplishment, raised his head contentedly, and admired the beauty of the setting sun for a while.
She was just about to change the battlefield, she moved two steps, and the phone vibrated in the small bag she was carrying.
She took off the glove on her right hand, reached into her bag, and took out her cell phone.
I saw that it was Mr. Ye from the college calling.
Shen Zaiqing picked up the phone and said briskly, "Hey, Teacher Ye, do you need me?"
Ye Pei on the other end of the phone asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you went to Tiandai Mountain this weekend?"
Shen Zaiqing also smiled and said, "Yes, I'll bring my Xiaolong to experience the farmhouse fun. When you called, I was picking eggs from the mountains."
Ye Pei: "It sounds very interesting. It happens that you are in the mountains. I have something to trouble you."
While making a phone call, Shen Zaiqing scanned the area in front of him with his eyes, and said very kindly: "Tell me, I will help if I can."
Teacher Ye is an old professor. When Shen Zaiqing first came to Jianghua University, it was Teacher Ye who introduced her to him.
The relationship between the two is not bad either.
"Help me see if there are many fake stinky weeds in Tiandai Mountain. I have a scientific research project that requires a lot of fake stinky weeds for experiments. It is best to grow in the forest. If there are more, I will next Take the students there on Sunday."
"Also, if there are wild five-color plums, please keep an eye out for me."
"No problem, Teacher Ye, it's just a matter of raising your hands. I happened to be picking eggs in the mountains. I can help you pay attention while picking them up."
"I saw a few fake stinky weeds when I went up the mountain. Maybe there will be more and more of them as I go up the mountain. I'll look ahead."
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Shen."
"will not."
After hanging up the phone and putting the phone back where it was, Shen Zaiqing glanced at it and saw two fake stinky weeds at his feet.
She silently recorded the number, then took a step forward and continued to search.
False stinky grass is an invasive plant with extremely tenacious vitality and a high reproduction rate. There are two or three plants here, and it is impossible for them to pop up for no reason, indicating that there must be a provenance around.
Shen Zaiqing continued to walk towards the depths of the mountain forest, and saw a large area of fake smelly grass within a short time.
These are enough for Mr. Ye to do experiments.
She took out her mobile phone and took a picture, ready to send it to Ye Fei, but when she was about to send it, the mobile phone showed no signal or network.
She thought to herself, forget it, and send it when I get back to the Internet.
Looking at the time, it was already 36:[-]. If she hadn't picked up her phone and looked at it, she would not have known that the hour of picking eggs would arrive so soon.
The sun has already set, and there is still an orange glow in the sky. She has to hurry down the mountain to join Long Xin and the others.
Shen Zaiqing walked down the mountain based on her own feelings, and she also came to a foot of the mountain, which was somewhat similar to the foot of the mountain when they first set off, but there was no Long Xin and Liu Mao here.
It couldn't be that they hadn't arrived at the meeting point yet, Shen Zaiqing quickly thought of another possibility: she went the wrong way and came to the wrong foot of the mountain.
She didn't panic, the direction was wrong, just go back.
She wanted to make a phone call to contact Long Xin so that they would not worry about her, but there was no signal in this area, so she had to go further outside to get a signal.
When there is a signal, she will contact Long Xin immediately.
As soon as the agreed time came, Long Xin walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Liu Mao and Liu Qingyuan were also waiting here.
"The professor hasn't come down yet, let's wait for her for a while."
What Long Xin was thinking was not that Shen Zaiqing was lost in the mountains, but was wondering if the professor picked up a little longer just to win her, so he wasted time.
Liu Mao also nodded: "The road on her side is quite winding, and it's not easy to walk. It will definitely take longer to get down."
It was getting dark, and there were more mosquitoes in the mountains, buzzing around people's heads.
Liu Qingyuan was annoyed by the mosquitoes, and she didn't want to carry the eggs anymore, so she waved her arms to drive away the mosquitoes above her head.
Long Xin had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and said to Liu Mao: "Uncle Liu, take Xiao Qingyuan back first, the road will be invisible after dark. I will go to the mountains to find the professor."
"Take your mobile phone with you, remember to turn on the flashlight, and be careful when walking along the ridge."
Long Xin couldn't help but already walked up the mountain path.
She only remembered Shen Zailiang's explanation now, and regretted it. The professor has a bad sense of direction, and must have lost his way in the mountains. She must find her immediately.
"Long Xin, come back!" Liu Mao yelled at the foot of the mountain, "Let's go back first, you give me the basket of eggs in your hand, and I will carry it back, you can find someone easily."
"Also, Professor Shen can't get through the phone now, you found her, remember to call me."
"Well, good." Long Xin handed the egg to Liu Mao, turned on his phone and watch to see, there was still a signal in this area, but the signal disappeared when he went further up.
She remembered the multifunctional bracelet Shen Zailiang gave her, and quickly turned on the positioning function.
However, she was online, but the professor's end did not respond for a long time, probably because it hadn't turned on yet.
While paying attention to the reminder on the bracelet, she looked for it in the mountains and shouted anxiously: "Professor! Where are you?"
Shen Zaiqing is getting farther and farther away from the correct path, but she hasn't realized it yet.
She always felt that if she walked along the road in front of her, she could meet Long Xin.
When it was getting dark and the phone's battery was running low, Shen Zaiqing knew she was panicking.
She stood where she was, surrounded by darkness, and she could no longer judge whether she had been here based on the different tree species.
She stood there for a long time.
When the battery of the mobile phone completely disappeared, she was also swallowed by the darkness.
At this time, she completely panicked.
The jungle in the dark night is filled with all kinds of strange sounds and movements, there are insects, birds, and the noises made by unknown creatures jumping past...
Shen Zaiqing didn't see anything when he went to the field for investigation, so he took it calmly when he got used to it, and of course he would do all kinds of protective work.
She didn't make any preparations when she came out to pick up eggs. She thought she was going to go and come back quickly, and she didn't even bring any insecticide in her bag.And at night, when people's nerves become sensitive, everything becomes different.
There are creatures that don't know whether they are frogs or mice jumping around there. The mountain wind is howling, blowing the treetops, and some unknown things will fall from the top of the head.
Shen Zaiqing was even more frightened.
She thought of the multifunctional bracelet her brother gave her. She didn't wear it all the time like Long Xin, but fortunately, she always put it in the bag she carried with her.
Shen Zaiqing quickly turned out the multi-functional bracelet, first turned on the flashlight on it, and took a look around.
When the beam of the flashlight moved, Shen Zaiqing saw a mouse with a fierce face lying on a branch directly in front of his body, staring at her with eyes that shone brightly when the light came on.
Shen Zaiqing gritted her teeth to hold back her horror, and stomped her foot vigorously, scaring the mouse away, but the movement of the mouse into the bushes caused commotion in the forest.
There were all kinds of strange sounds again.
It may go to its companions to deal with itself.
Shen Zaiqing's eyes were covered with mist, and she operated the positioning function of the bracelet, thinking that Long Xin would hurry to find her.
After Shen Zaiqing turned on the phone, the positions of both parties were displayed on the small screen, and Shen Zaiqing found that he was across a whole mountain from Long Xin.
She was a little speechless, she was in the depths of another mountain now, and she didn't know how she walked, but she went farther and farther.
Her brother is really a crow's mouth, and this time he hit the spot again.
Shen Zaiqing calmed down her frantically beating heart, took a deep breath, and motioned for herself to calm down.
Now all hope is pinned on Long Xin, she also has to listen to her brother, don't run around at this time, find a safe, open place, let her little dragon come to her.
Shen Zaiqing moved back a few steps and came to an open flat land with less vegetation and some irregular stones.
Shen Zaiqing boldly walked to these stones, leaned on them, and then curled herself into a ball, closed her eyes and listened, not looking or thinking about things that would disturb her mind.
From time to time, she looked up to see the distance between Long Xin and herself on the small screen.
Her little dragon was very competitive, and after confirming his position, he shortened the distance between them at an extremely fast speed.
But the jungle was winding and winding, and she couldn't walk in a straight line. Shen Zaiqing estimated that she would have to wait for a while before her little dragon would come.
Her eyes were tightly closed again, and just as Shen Zaiqing buried her head in her knees, a frog suddenly jumped by her feet, scaring her out of her wits.
Animals are sensitive to light, her brother's multifunctional bracelet, the flashlight bulb is too small to illuminate much, and it also attracts a bunch of mosquitoes, which made Shen Zaiqing complain again.
The main reason is that the current state of mind is too bad, everything around will affect Shen Zaiqing's heart.
What's worse, Shen Zaiqing still heard the sound of something moving among the various sounds around him.
Most likely a snake.
When Shen Zaiqing thought of this possibility, he felt that the whole person was not well.
The flashlight didn't dare to shine indiscriminately. If it was such a creature, she would follow the sway of the beam of light and meet the snake's eyes, and she might directly lose ten years of life.
Shen Zaiqing buried his head in the crook of his arms, his nose became even more sore.
She needs to think more about her little dragon, her little dragon is the all-powerful Chinese dragon, if she comes, how dare these snakes, rats and ants be so presumptuous?
Shen Zaiqing spent another few minutes in torment.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew the broken hair on her forehead, and she heard a familiar "professor" in her ears.
The voice seemed to be brought by the wind, not sharp or harsh, but nice and gentle.
Shen Zaiqing suddenly raised her head, and responded in surprise: "Long Xin, I'm here."
"Professor, I want to use a spell."
As soon as Long Xin finished speaking, Shen Zaiqing saw two clusters of flames rising in the air not far away, illuminating where Long Xin was.
Then the clusters of flames became more and more, and gradually spread over, surrounding Shen Zaiqing's back, protecting her firmly in the middle.
The entire forest was illuminated by the fire, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants that had nowhere to hide were gone.
The forest became quieter, and Shen Zaiqing would no longer be frightened by these strange movements and noises.
When Shen Zaiqing was in a daze, Long Xin walked up to her, squatted down, gently raised the end of his eyes, and asked her in a warm voice: "Professor, do you need a hug?"
The author has something to say: Professor Shen's heartbeat moment +1

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
It was Shen Zaiqing who didn't estimate the distance when he put the mulberries into Long Xin's mouth. He shrank back a bit, and let go of his hands one after another.
Seeing that the mulberries were about to fall off, Long Xin stretched his head forward a little, trying to suck the mulberries, but accidentally touched Shen Zaiqing's fingertips.

Then he pointed to it and said happily: "Look, there will be a whole basket in this way, enough is enough, let's go."
Shen Zaiqing dragged Long Xin out of Sangtian, and Liu Mao's side was over.
Several people sat in the yard, on old-fashioned armchairs, under a century-old camphor tree, washed two large plates of mulberries, and ate mulberries leisurely while blowing the cool breeze from the mountains.

Then Shen Zaiqing also got up, stopped Liu Mao and said, "Uncle Liu, Long Xin and I will go together, one more person will do more work, and by the way, we can also experience the feeling of picking eggs all over the mountains and plains."

Shen Zaiqing is very familiar with this ridge road, it is the one she and Long Xin took when they came here.

Liu Mao explained: "This cement road, this section is good, but there is a bend there, look, it is not far away, and the road is being repaired, and it has been repaired for several days."
"The earth-drilling machine has drilled the cement road to a bad shape, and there are loose cement blocks everywhere, which is very difficult to walk on."
"We don't go there. We take this ridge road. It's a little farther, but at least we won't sprain our feet."
Thinking of what happened yesterday, combined with what Liu Mao said, Shen Zaiqing was thoughtful again.
"Come, come, follow me, I'll take you to the place where you pick up eggs."
Liu Mao had already taken his little granddaughter to the field. Shen Zaiqing was still standing there in a daze. Long Xin was waiting for her. Seeing that she hadn't recovered for a long time, he asked, "Professor, are you leaving?"
Shen Zaiqing glanced at Long Xin, collected himself, let out a heavy breath, and said, "Let's go, let's follow."
This time Shen Zaiqing let Long Xin go ahead of her.
When she walked, she would pretend to look at the scenery, deliberately walking slowly, and Long Xin would stop from time to time, look back at herself, and turn her head to continue walking when she was beside her.
It completely copied yesterday's scene, but today's Long Xin fully showed his concern on his face, and his face and eyes were also soft.
But from this, I also learned that under the indifferent surface that day, the heart of that "Longxin" was not completely indifferent.
Shen Zaiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and his thoughts became confused again.
After walking for about 10 minutes, they came to the forest where the eggs were picked.
As soon as Liu Mao arrived at the place, he saw a pile of white eggs. He patted Liu Qingyuan on the head, pointed to a mound of dirt and said, "Little Yuan, there seems to be a pile of eggs over there. Go and have a look."
He put several layers of rags on Liu Qingyuan's basket, and reminded: "Remember to handle it with care."
"Okay grandpa!" Liu Qingyuan's excitement rose, and she responded loudly, and then ran towards the mound with joyful steps.
Liu Mao stood there and looked at her, smiling lovingly.
Shen Zaiqing took back the basket from Long Xin, put it on his hands, and asked Liu Mao: "Uncle Liu, we are ready, where do we start?"
Liu Mao pointed to the mountain path not far away, and said: "There are two roads there, both of which are common routes for chickens. See if you want to divide the troops into two roads, so hurry up."
Shen Zaiqing readily agreed: "Okay, Long Xin and I will go to the side alone, and Uncle Liu and Xiao Qingyuan can just pick them up in the area at the foot of the mountain."
She also knew that Liu Mao's legs and feet were not good, and Liu Qingyuan was too young, so climbing the mountain would definitely be inconvenient.
"Okay, thank you all."
"you are welcome."
After finishing speaking, Shen Zaiqing turned to Long Xin and said, "Let's go, Long Xin, it's getting late, we have to leave quickly."
Thinking of something, she hooked the corners of her lips, and continued: "Do you want to compete with me in picking eggs? Let's see who picks up the most, and there will be rewards for winning."
Long Xin's eyes lit up when he heard the word "reward", and he readily agreed: "Okay."
She looked at her watch: "It's 04:30, we'll stop at 05:30."
After hearing this, Liu Mao also agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's 05:30, it's almost dark, we will gather here, and then go back to eat together."
"Well, we'll be back at 05:30."
After finishing speaking, Shen Zaiqing and Long Xin set off. Before parting, Shen Zaiqing reminded Long Xin: "Some areas of this mountain are outside the protected area. You should be careful not to use spells outside the protected area."
Long Xin responded, and she also said obediently: "I know, I will report to the professor when I need to use spells."
"Then you should pay attention to safety when you go up and down the mountain."
"Well, the professor also pays attention to safety."
"Then let's get started."
They separated at a fork in the road, and both of them walked along their respective mountain trails. After a while, they walked into two different forests, and they couldn't see each other.
Shen Zaiqing goes to field trips every year and often climbs mountains. A slope that is not too steep like Tiandai Mountain is not difficult for her at all.
Long Xin has good physical fitness and quick movements. She lowered her head to pick it up a few times, and the eggs filled the bottom of her basket.
Liu Mao took his little granddaughter to pick up at the foot of the mountain. Liu Qingyuan didn't let her grandfather intervene, and carried a big basket by herself, looking for chicken nests one by one, and picking up eggs one by one.
Time passed slowly, and the sun was hanging on the mountain not far away, glowing brilliantly.
Shen Zaiqing picked up more than a dozen eggs in the chicken coop under his hands, feeling a sense of accomplishment, raised his head contentedly, and admired the beauty of the setting sun for a while.
She was just about to change the battlefield, she moved two steps, and the phone vibrated in the small bag she was carrying.
She took off the glove on her right hand, reached into her bag, and took out her cell phone.
I saw that it was Mr. Ye from the college calling.
Shen Zaiqing picked up the phone and said briskly, "Hey, Teacher Ye, do you need me?"
Ye Pei on the other end of the phone asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you went to Tiandai Mountain this weekend?"
Shen Zaiqing also smiled and said, "Yes, I'll bring my Xiaolong to experience the farmhouse fun. When you called, I was picking eggs from the mountains."
Ye Pei: "It sounds very interesting. It happens that you are in the mountains. I have something to trouble you."
While making a phone call, Shen Zaiqing scanned the area in front of him with his eyes, and said very kindly: "Tell me, I will help if I can."
Teacher Ye is an old professor. When Shen Zaiqing first came to Jianghua University, it was Teacher Ye who introduced her to him.
The relationship between the two is not bad either.
"Help me see if there are many fake stinky weeds in Tiandai Mountain. I have a scientific research project that requires a lot of fake stinky weeds for experiments. It is best to grow in the forest. If there are more, I will next Take the students there on Sunday."
"Also, if there are wild five-color plums, please keep an eye out for me."
"No problem, Teacher Ye, it's just a matter of raising your hands. I happened to be picking eggs in the mountains. I can help you pay attention while picking them up."
"I saw a few fake stinky weeds when I went up the mountain. Maybe there will be more and more of them as I go up the mountain. I'll look ahead."
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Shen."
"will not."
After hanging up the phone and putting the phone back where it was, Shen Zaiqing glanced at it and saw two fake stinky weeds at his feet.
She silently recorded the number, then took a step forward and continued to search.
False stinky grass is an invasive plant with extremely tenacious vitality and a high reproduction rate. There are two or three plants here, and it is impossible for them to pop up for no reason, indicating that there must be a provenance around.
Shen Zaiqing continued to walk towards the depths of the mountain forest, and saw a large area of fake smelly grass within a short time.
These are enough for Mr. Ye to do experiments.
She took out her mobile phone and took a picture, ready to send it to Ye Fei, but when she was about to send it, the mobile phone showed no signal or network.
She thought to herself, forget it, and send it when I get back to the Internet.
Looking at the time, it was already 36:[-]. If she hadn't picked up her phone and looked at it, she would not have known that the hour of picking eggs would arrive so soon.
The sun has already set, and there is still an orange glow in the sky. She has to hurry down the mountain to join Long Xin and the others.
Shen Zaiqing walked down the mountain based on her own feelings, and she also came to a foot of the mountain, which was somewhat similar to the foot of the mountain when they first set off, but there was no Long Xin and Liu Mao here.
It couldn't be that they hadn't arrived at the meeting point yet, Shen Zaiqing quickly thought of another possibility: she went the wrong way and came to the wrong foot of the mountain.
She didn't panic, the direction was wrong, just go back.
She wanted to make a phone call to contact Long Xin so that they would not worry about her, but there was no signal in this area, so she had to go further outside to get a signal.
When there is a signal, she will contact Long Xin immediately.
As soon as the agreed time came, Long Xin walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Liu Mao and Liu Qingyuan were also waiting here.
"The professor hasn't come down yet, let's wait for her for a while."
What Long Xin was thinking was not that Shen Zaiqing was lost in the mountains, but was wondering if the professor picked up a little longer just to win her, so he wasted time.
Liu Mao also nodded: "The road on her side is quite winding, and it's not easy to walk. It will definitely take longer to get down."
It was getting dark, and there were more mosquitoes in the mountains, buzzing around people's heads.
Liu Qingyuan was annoyed by the mosquitoes, and she didn't want to carry the eggs anymore, so she waved her arms to drive away the mosquitoes above her head.
Long Xin had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and said to Liu Mao: "Uncle Liu, take Xiao Qingyuan back first, the road will be invisible after dark. I will go to the mountains to find the professor."
"Take your mobile phone with you, remember to turn on the flashlight, and be careful when walking along the ridge."
Long Xin couldn't help but already walked up the mountain path.
She only remembered Shen Zailiang's explanation now, and regretted it. The professor has a bad sense of direction, and must have lost his way in the mountains. She must find her immediately.
"Long Xin, come back!" Liu Mao yelled at the foot of the mountain, "Let's go back first, you give me the basket of eggs in your hand, and I will carry it back, you can find someone easily."
"Also, Professor Shen can't get through the phone now, you found her, remember to call me."
"Well, good." Long Xin handed the egg to Liu Mao, turned on his phone and watch to see, there was still a signal in this area, but the signal disappeared when he went further up.
She remembered the multifunctional bracelet Shen Zailiang gave her, and quickly turned on the positioning function.
However, she was online, but the professor's end did not respond for a long time, probably because it hadn't turned on yet.
While paying attention to the reminder on the bracelet, she looked for it in the mountains and shouted anxiously: "Professor! Where are you?"
Shen Zaiqing is getting farther and farther away from the correct path, but she hasn't realized it yet.
She always felt that if she walked along the road in front of her, she could meet Long Xin.
When it was getting dark and the phone's battery was running low, Shen Zaiqing knew she was panicking.
She stood where she was, surrounded by darkness, and she could no longer judge whether she had been here based on the different tree species.
She stood there for a long time.
When the battery of the mobile phone completely disappeared, she was also swallowed by the darkness.
At this time, she completely panicked.
The jungle in the dark night is filled with all kinds of strange sounds and movements, there are insects, birds, and the noises made by unknown creatures jumping past...
Shen Zaiqing didn't see anything when he went to the field for investigation, so he took it calmly when he got used to it, and of course he would do all kinds of protective work.
She didn't make any preparations when she came out to pick up eggs. She thought she was going to go and come back quickly, and she didn't even bring any insecticide in her bag.And at night, when people's nerves become sensitive, everything becomes different.
There are creatures that don't know whether they are frogs or mice jumping around there. The mountain wind is howling, blowing the treetops, and some unknown things will fall from the top of the head.
Shen Zaiqing was even more frightened.
She thought of the multifunctional bracelet her brother gave her. She didn't wear it all the time like Long Xin, but fortunately, she always put it in the bag she carried with her.
Shen Zaiqing quickly turned out the multi-functional bracelet, first turned on the flashlight on it, and took a look around.
When the beam of the flashlight moved, Shen Zaiqing saw a mouse with a fierce face lying on a branch directly in front of his body, staring at her with eyes that shone brightly when the light came on.
Shen Zaiqing gritted her teeth to hold back her horror, and stomped her foot vigorously, scaring the mouse away, but the movement of the mouse into the bushes caused commotion in the forest.
There were all kinds of strange sounds again.
It may go to its companions to deal with itself.
Shen Zaiqing's eyes were covered with mist, and she operated the positioning function of the bracelet, thinking that Long Xin would hurry to find her.
After Shen Zaiqing turned on the phone, the positions of both parties were displayed on the small screen, and Shen Zaiqing found that he was across a whole mountain from Long Xin.
She was a little speechless, she was in the depths of another mountain now, and she didn't know how she walked, but she went farther and farther.
Her brother is really a crow's mouth, and this time he hit the spot again.
Shen Zaiqing calmed down her frantically beating heart, took a deep breath, and motioned for herself to calm down.
Now all hope is pinned on Long Xin, she also has to listen to her brother, don't run around at this time, find a safe, open place, let her little dragon come to her.
Shen Zaiqing moved back a few steps and came to an open flat land with less vegetation and some irregular stones.
Shen Zaiqing boldly walked to these stones, leaned on them, and then curled herself into a ball, closed her eyes and listened, not looking or thinking about things that would disturb her mind.
From time to time, she looked up to see the distance between Long Xin and herself on the small screen.
Her little dragon was very competitive, and after confirming his position, he shortened the distance between them at an extremely fast speed.
But the jungle was winding and winding, and she couldn't walk in a straight line. Shen Zaiqing estimated that she would have to wait for a while before her little dragon would come.
Her eyes were tightly closed again, and just as Shen Zaiqing buried her head in her knees, a frog suddenly jumped by her feet, scaring her out of her wits.
Animals are sensitive to light, her brother's multifunctional bracelet, the flashlight bulb is too small to illuminate much, and it also attracts a bunch of mosquitoes, which made Shen Zaiqing complain again.
The main reason is that the current state of mind is too bad, everything around will affect Shen Zaiqing's heart.
What's worse, Shen Zaiqing still heard the sound of something moving among the various sounds around him.
Most likely a snake.
When Shen Zaiqing thought of this possibility, he felt that the whole person was not well.
The flashlight didn't dare to shine indiscriminately. If it was such a creature, she would follow the sway of the beam of light and meet the snake's eyes, and she might directly lose ten years of life.
Shen Zaiqing buried his head in the crook of his arms, his nose became even more sore.
She needs to think more about her little dragon, her little dragon is the all-powerful Chinese dragon, if she comes, how dare these snakes, rats and ants be so presumptuous?
Shen Zaiqing spent another few minutes in torment.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew the broken hair on her forehead, and she heard a familiar "professor" in her ears.
The voice seemed to be brought by the wind, not sharp or harsh, but nice and gentle.
Shen Zaiqing suddenly raised her head, and responded in surprise: "Long Xin, I'm here."
"Professor, I want to use a spell."
As soon as Long Xin finished speaking, Shen Zaiqing saw two clusters of flames rising in the air not far away, illuminating where Long Xin was.
Then the clusters of flames became more and more, and gradually spread over, surrounding Shen Zaiqing's back, protecting her firmly in the middle.
The entire forest was illuminated by the fire, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants that had nowhere to hide were gone.
The forest became quieter, and Shen Zaiqing would no longer be frightened by these strange movements and noises.
When Shen Zaiqing was in a daze, Long Xin walked up to her, squatted down, gently raised the end of his eyes, and asked her in a warm voice: "Professor, do you need a hug?"
The author has something to say: Professor Shen's heartbeat moment +1
