Leave early and return early, and pay attention to safety

Soon, several people approached the campsite. Zhang Ziming and Ji Bo were walking in the front. At this time, the girls were sitting outside the tents, waiting anxiously.

Seeing the approaching people, the girls stood up one after another and walked towards them. Pan Ning stepped forward to Zhang Ziming first and asked, "Why are there only you two? Where are Su Yang and the others? And have you found Fatty?"

"We found him. He's okay. They're behind. That guy Fatty isn't wearing any clothes, so we came here first to ask you to avoid him."

"Phew~~" Several girls behind Pan Ning let out a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"It really scared us. Making such a fuss in the middle of the night. But it's good that he's okay," Pan Ning said, tilting her head to look into the distance.

"Okay, then we'll go back to the tents first. Call them to come over quickly."

"Sure~"

After all the girls had entered the tents, Zhang Ziming shouted towards the back, "Come on!"

Soon, Su Yang, Meng Wenzhou, and Liu Bo walked over slowly.

Liu Bo tilted his head to look at the tents, then covered his private parts and quickly ran to the place where he had put his clothes before, picked them up, and quickly put them on.

"Damn it. It's the first time in my life that I've walked such a long way naked. It feels like when I was a kid and I dreamed of going to school wearing only my underwear. It's still more secure to wear clothes."

"You're really brave. It was so dark at night. Aren't you afraid it was a water monster or something?" Meng Wenzhou looked at Liu Bo and asked.

Liu Bo grinned and said, "Hehe, I didn't think that much at that time. I saw it was a fish, so I went to catch it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared."

Just as they were chatting, Pan Ning's voice came from inside the tent, "Are you dressed?"

"Yes, I'm dressed," Liu Bo replied with a smile.

Then the tent was opened again, and Pan Ning, Meng Qianyu and others walked out of the tent again.

Facing the girls' confused expressions, Liu Bo repeated the whole thing to everyone word for word before finally quieting down.

It was already 1:10 a.m. at this time. Everyone went back to their tents and went to sleep.

Nothing happened during the night.

Early the next morning, Su Yang was woken up by the clanging sound outside the tent.

He looked at the time. It was exactly eight o'clock. Liu Bo, who was sleeping beside him, also woke up slowly.

"Are you awake, Brother Yang?"

"Yeah. Did you sleep well?"

"Not bad. The mat is quite good. It's not damp and it's quite comfortable to sleep on."

Su Yang smiled faintly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and sat up. "That's good. What's going on outside? Who got up so early?"

As he said, he opened the tent and looked out.

He saw Pan Ning, Meng Qianyu, Lu Yun, and Tang Ziyun were busy making breakfast at the place where they had had a barbecue the night before.

"You're up so early?" Su Yang shouted to them.

Hearing the shout, four extremely beautiful faces turned to look at Su Yang in unison.

Meng Qianyu replied with a smile, "We thought we'd make something for everyone to eat so that we can go hiking later."

"Thank you. Do you need any help?"

"No, it'll be ready soon. You can get up too."

"Okay."

Su Yang sat outside the tent and put on his shoes. "Fatty, get up. Go to the river to wash your face and wake up."

"Okay."

Liu Bo responded and sat up all of a sudden.

Soon, the people in the nearby tents also woke up one after another.

After everyone had a simple wash, Pan Ning and the other three had also prepared some simple breakfast.

After breakfast, several people cleaned up the garbage on the table and the grass.

At this time, Pan Ning said, "Let's take a few minutes' rest and then set off. The earlier we go, the earlier we'll come back."

Meng Wenzhou still said reluctantly, "Do we really have to go?"

"Well... otherwise, if you really don't want to go, you can stay here to watch the camp. If we come back early, we'll go to the hot springs right away. If we come back late, we'll have to stay here for another night."

Hearing this, Meng Wenzhou was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes brightened. "Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this."

"Come on, Brother Meng, come with us," Liu Bo grabbed Meng Wenzhou's arm.

"Come on, what a chance I've got. I'm not going. You guys go by yourselves. Besides, if we all leave, what if someone comes and steals our tents? Someone has to stay here to watch over them."

Liu Bo thought it seemed reasonable and smiled, "All right."

"Don't sneak away by yourself, though."

"Am I that kind of person? Stop talking nonsense. You guys go quickly. Go and come back early. If you come back early, we'll retreat this afternoon."

"Okay, everyone, pack up your things and bring some water and food. You can eat some on the way if you get hungry to replenish your energy." Pan Ning instructed the others.

At this time, Ji Bo thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take us to walk?"

"I've checked the route. It'll probably take about four hours round - trip. If everything goes smoothly, we can be back around one or two o'clock this afternoon."

"Will it take that long?"

"Otherwise? This is a hike, not a stroll."

"Well, all right. Let's go then!" Ji Bo said and turned towards the tent to pack his things.

Pan Ning looked at the others. "You guys also go and get a backpack and bring some stuff. Then we'll set off."

"Okay~" Everyone agreed and walked towards their respective tents.

At nine o'clock, ten people set off towards Qianye Mountain on time.

Leaning against a small grass pile, Meng Wenzhou watched the others' backs as they left and smiled, "Go and come back early. Pay attention to safety!"

"Hehe, lucky me. I managed to dodge this one. Why go on a hike when there's such a beautiful place to enjoy? It's so much nicer to lie comfortably by the river, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and brush through short videos on Douyin. It would be perfect if I could have an iced Americano too."

...

On the other side, after walking four or five hundred meters upstream along the river, the ten people saw a shabby plank laid across a relatively narrow part of the river, which could barely be considered a small bridge.

Everyone passed through one by one. Su Yang and Pan Ning were at the front of the small group.

"Do you know the route?" Su Yang turned and asked.

Pan Ning was looking down at a map she had drawn herself.

"More or less," she said.

"Let me have a look," he took the A4 paper from Pan Ning's hand and looked at it. He saw some winding routes simply drawn in pencil on it.

"What the... Can you understand this?"

Pan Ning nodded. "As long as I can understand it. Many people have taken this hiking route before, and I've studied it too."

"All right," Su Yang said, but he became a bit more cautious about it. He would memorize all the routes into the mountain from then on.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Pan Ning's ability. It was just that in some situations, only oneself was the most trustworthy.

After all, they were outdoors in a primeval forest, and there were so many people around. It was always right to be more careful.

In case Pan Ning, who was acting as the guide, turned out to be unreliable and they got lost, he would have to step in.

After acquiring the new skill, his memory had improved significantly. He could clearly remember the paths he had taken during outdoor activities. This was also a passive ability that came with the skill.

Soon, the group followed Pan Ning towards Qianye Mountain.

After walking on a muddy path for more than ten minutes, they reached the entrance to the mountain.

There, hanging on a tree trunk as thick as a thigh, was a wooden sign.

In prominent red paint, there were several big words written on it: There are wild beasts in the depths of the forest. Do not enter the deeper areas. Those who violate this rule will bear the consequences!
