A CEO Grows Up

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, the group woke up, dressed neatly, and prepared to set off.

Baruka prepared a long knife for each of them, so that they would have a handy weapon when they encountered wild beasts. Gina also packed various dried meats and side dishes for them, and watched the children leave reluctantly.

Baruka had originally planned to take them to the foot of the mountain and then leave, but when they arrived at the place, Baruka did not go back. Instead, he got out of the car and told the villagers to wait for him. After that, he followed Lin Chuchu and others into the mountains.

Lin Chuchu was surprised and asked Baluka who was leading the way in front: "Uncle Ba, didn't we agree that you would send us to the foot of the mountain and then go back? But now you follow us up the mountain?" Baluka smiled when he heard it, and did not stop walking. He just walked and said: "I am familiar with the mountain. I will lead you for a while so that it will be easier for you to walk. I think it would be better if we can get down the mountain before dark." But Lin Chuchu was extremely worried. For no other reason, they had sprinkled the insect repellent powder they bought all over their bodies, even on their shoes, and had insecticide spray in their hands before going up the mountain. Together with the protective clothing, they were already airtight. But Baluka was in plain clothes and had no protection. He also had no insect repellent on him. So Lin Chuchu immediately rummaged through his pocket, took out a packet of powder and handed it to Baluka, who accepted it.

After walking for a while, I have to say that with Baluka leading the way, things were much easier. We had walked such a long distance in such a short time.

Lin Chuchu looked up at the dense forest, then frowned and said, "Uncle Ba, let's stop here. We are fully equipped, but you don't have much protection. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if we go in. We are very grateful that you have led us for so long. Now, please be sure to go back." Baluka knew that Lin Chuchu and the other children were worried about him. He looked at the people who were well-equipped and did not insist, so he turned and left, saying as he walked, "Hurry up and don't look around. Remember, you can't waste a minute or a second, otherwise it will be very dangerous in the mountains at night." Lin Chuchu and the others turned around and left immediately after hearing that.

It is inevitable to see insects, spiders and the like in the dense forest, so even though Lin Chuchu was fully equipped along the way, he was still scared to death.

"Xiao Lan, save me." Lin Chuchu held Ji Ruoli tightly with both hands, and Ji Ruoli looked in the direction Lin Chuchu pointed, and found a colorful spider hanging in the middle of the tree. It was not big, but it looked extremely poisonous. As a result, the four people, each holding an insecticide, aimed at the unfortunate colorful spider and sprayed it one by one. The spider immediately fled. This was basically the way along the way. Ji Ruoli dragged Lin Chuchu in his arms and moved forward step by step. The four people held insecticides in one hand and a big knife in the other. Even the big knife was covered with insecticide powder.

Lin Chuchu and the others sighed, saying that the powder was really useful. They saw many poisonous insects and snakes along the way, but they fled far away when they encountered them, saving them a lot of trouble. Moreover, their luck today was much better than yesterday. Apart from poisonous snakes and insects, they did not see any wild animals. They even encountered a pack of wolves early yesterday morning. Today, they were really lucky. It seemed that even God was blessing them.

Lin Chuchu and his companions walked for a long time, so long that they were all thirsty, but no one dared to drink water. Firstly, they were wearing protective clothing, which made it inconvenient for them to drink water. Also, they were covered with insecticide powder and they were afraid of accidentally ingesting it. Most importantly, they were afraid that if they were exposed at all, poisonous insects would take advantage of them. So they admitted to being thirsty and would not take off their protective clothing to drink water.

However, it seemed that they had exhausted their strength and were all breathless, not to mention Lin Chuchu, who was a girl. Now, they almost relied on Ji Ruoli to drag them, then relied on Lan He, and then relied on Chi Bingye. In short, the four boys took turns dragging Lin Chuchu for a distance. Finally, all five of them were breathless. So, they used long knives to scratch the grass and flattened it. Then they sprayed pesticides and sat down back to back to rest for a while. Even when they were resting, they looked around vigilantly.

After resting for a while and recovering some strength, they continued to move forward. It was no wonder that they kept moving forward, because they were also afraid of the dark, so they did not dare to delay too much.

They walked for a while and saw that it was already afternoon. They all looked disappointed and it seemed that they would have to return empty-handed.

Lin Chuchu was very disappointed. She didn't know what her parents were looking for when they came to Xilan Mountain, but she wanted to find out what was going on, just in case there was something to be gained. Besides, her sixth sense told her to come here, but was she really overthinking it? Or was she missing someone so much that she became sick. Thinking of this, Lin Chuchu laughed at herself. Yes, who would be so stupid as to believe in the sixth sense? It was just a feeling. How could there be any surprise? Then Lin Chuchu backed out. Just as she was about to say she was leaving, she heard Chi Bingye's surprised voice.

Several people were standing and resting, although they didn't have any clues, none of them complained, nor were they discouraged, they just felt a little lost. In fact, they were also very excited to come to Xilan Mountain, because they also felt the feeling of training. Just as Chi Bingye said, everything they experienced would become a test, and their fathers had never experienced so much as being battle-hardened, so they did not regret coming here this time.

???

But at this time, Chi Bingye stared at the direction to the right and said in shock: "What's over there? I feel like it's a house, or a big house." Lin Chuchu and the others looked in the direction Chi Bingye was staring at, but they didn't see anything. Could it be that Chi Bingye was hallucinating? So Nan Zhi took the lead and said: "Brother Chi, you are not thirsty and dehydrated, are you? Where is the house? I think you are hallucinating." Chi Bingye said speechlessly: "Look carefully, the leaves and branches block the view, but there must be one." Nan Zhi said bluntly: "Look carefully, even if you dig your eyeballs out, there is no big house, it's all endless green." Lin Chuchu didn't see it either, but she didn't stop and directly cut off the branches with a long knife. While cutting, Ji Ruoli sprayed insecticide.

Lin Chuchu was stunned. There was indeed a house. She said excitedly, "I saw it. It's not far away. Brother Chi has good eyesight. Thumbs up for you. Let's go." Hearing this, several people followed Lin Chuchu's footsteps, and Chi Bingye was complacent. He kept talking all the way: "I told you, there is a house, but you still don't believe it, especially Nanzhi. You actually don't believe me. I have never been unreliable. I'm the best." Nanzhi was speechless and immediately said, "Yes, yes, Brother Chi is the best. It's my fault. I shouldn't question you, okay?" Although he said that, Chi Bingye still heard the helplessness in his words, so he said dissatisfiedly, "Look at what you said, how perfunctory it is. Chuchu said I'm awesome, so you just perfunctory it. You're not honest at all." Nanzhi also followed suit, "Black? How am I perfunctory to you? I'm praising you. Praising you, okay?" Several people walked and quarreled.

What they didn't know was that it was the fight between Chi Bingye and Nan Zhi that saved their lives, otherwise they would have been shot in the head.
