Chapter 21 Contributing to the Class
There are many villas around Xiaoling Mountain. Many local villagers set up stalls and sold some small and exquisite souvenirs. These souvenirs are engraved with the words of Xiaoling Mountain. The price is cheap, attracting many tourists to buy them.

Because there are too many third-year students in Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School, after the discussion of the school leaders, the head teachers of each class will lead the activities and disperse the activities, so as to avoid crowding when going to a certain scenic spot together.

The class teacher Liu Xueming is not as strict as in school, and occasionally makes a little joke with the students.

At noon, the sky suddenly became cloudy. Less than 10 minutes later, it began to rain cats and dogs. Looking around, the whole sky became gray.The raindrops are like broken beads, splashing down.

"Why are you so unlucky, it rained so much when you finally went out for a group trip?"

"I checked the weather forecast before I came here, and there was obviously no rain."

"That's how it is in Xia Tian. It's really unpredictable."

"..."

Class [-] students were crowded in a restaurant, watching the storm outside with complaints, and this restaurant only had students from class [-].

Ji Yi and Mei Ziang sat at the dining table, neither of them reacted much to the sudden heavy rain.

Xu Manting and several female classmates were also sitting at the dining table. The other girls were better, especially Xu Manting, who was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts. In the environment of heavy rain and strong wind, Xu Manting's cold delicate body shivered.

"Xu Banhua, is it very cold?" Mei Ziang said helplessly, "Unfortunately, I only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt without a coat, otherwise I would have a chance to win the hearts of beauties."

After finishing speaking, Mei Ziang bumped Ji Yi with his elbow with a smirk, and said, "Aren't you wearing a coat? Seeing how cold Xu Banhua is, it's really pitiful..."

"Suddenly found that you are really annoying." Ji Yi didn't feel any discomfort from the sudden drop in temperature. He took off his coat and handed it to Xu Manting.

"No need." Xu Manting's pretty face flushed.

"Beep beep beep..."

Just as Ji Yi was about to speak, there was a low and sad suona sound outside the restaurant, and everyone's eyes in the restaurant were instantly attracted.

On the street outside the restaurant, a funeral procession wore white mourning clothes, and a coffin was carried by six strong men. The sound of crying and suona was mixed together, which seemed particularly strange in this dark and rainy day.

This plaintive sound came into the restaurant, which immediately quieted down the already noisy restaurant.

"Why did the funeral procession appear in a tourist attraction?" asked a puzzled classmate.

"This is the death of a villager in the village next to Xiaoling Mountain. They are going to the grave to be buried. Usually they take the road below Xiaoling Mountain for burial. It is probably raining heavily now, and the road is muddy and potholed, so That's why I'm going this way." The restaurant waiter wiped the table with a rag and said.

"Why not wait for the heavy rain to pass?" Another student asked.

"The villagers here are quite superstitious. The burial time is calculated by an expert. Even if it rains heavily, it cannot be changed." It seems that the waiter knows the things here.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Xu Manting shivered even more.

"If you don't think my clothes are dirty, just put them on, so as not to catch a cold." Ji Yi said.

"Okay, thank you." Xu Manting nodded gratefully, took the clothes and put them on, Ji Yi's body temperature was still on the coat, and a blush appeared on her face involuntarily.

After putting on the clothes, it was indeed a lot warmer.

When the funeral procession was far away and everyone could no longer hear the depressing suona, the restaurant slowly returned to bustle.

A man with an umbrella walked quickly from the rain curtain, and the restaurant became quiet again. This man was Wang Bing, the director of No. [-] Middle School in Jiangcheng.

Walking into the dining room, Wang Bing put away the umbrella and shook off the rainwater on it, and said to Liu Xueming, "Mr. Liu, please inform the students that they may have to live here tonight."

"Ah? Why?" Liu Xueming glared at the students who suddenly became agitated, and walked over to ask.

"Oh——" Wang Bing sighed, and said, "I just received a notice from the person in charge of the Xiaoling Mountain Tourist Area that the only road down the mountain was buried by a rockslide, and it will not be cleared for a while, and our bus will not get off. Because of the landslide that happened just now, the students cannot be allowed to walk down. In case of an accident, it will be troublesome. After all, the college entrance examination is coming soon. The rain will not stop for a while, so we simply let the students live Come down and come back tomorrow."

"Okay, but where are so many people going to live?" Liu Xueming said in distress.

"Fortunately, the person in charge of the Xiaoling Mountain tourist area has a conscience. He said that they have prepared tents in the tourist area and can lend us a night." Wang Bing said.

"Huh—that's good." Liu Xueming breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, students who have mobile phones, you can ask them to call and tell their parents. If you don't have a mobile phone, you can lend them your mobile phone first. When you return to school, you can take the payment slip to the financial office for reimbursement. I also want to Go and inform the other classes, you can arrange it first." Wang Bing opened the umbrella and walked into the rain curtain after speaking.

Without Liu Xueming's arrangement, the students who had mobile phones started calling home.Students without mobile phones gathered around Liu Xueming, waiting in line to make calls with Liu Xueming's mobile phone.

The wind and rain are still outside, and there is no tendency to stop.

Until more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy rain began to decrease until it stopped raining.

Looking at the puddles on the street, everyone sighed. It seems that today they will not be able to have a good time in the Xiaolingshan tourist area.

"Before it's dark, Mei Ziang took a few male classmates to get the tent!" Liu Xueming left the hard work to Mei Ziang.

"Let's go, Ji Yi." Mei Ziang patted Ji Yi's shoulder.

"Mei Ziang, I really want to beat you right now." Ji Yi said with a selfless expression that I am willing to contribute to the class, but he said with gnashing of teeth.

"Haha, you don't want to beat me up when you get used to it." Mei Ziang found a few more male students who were 'willing' to contribute to the class, and walked outside.

The tent was taken back, and after being selected by the students in the class, they began to set up camp in an open space.

"Hey, I chose this place." Mei Ziang said, pointing to the surrounding artificial lake and woods.

"Why?" Mei Zi Angfei wanted to live in the same tent with Ji Yi, and after the two of them set up the tent, Ji Yi sat at the door of the tent and raised his eyebrows.
