play house

The school prepared lunch for the children and parents by the hot spring pool—an open-air barbecue buffet, and let everyone rest for an hour before continuing the afternoon activities.

Chu Xian found that the only children in the class who chose to "go forward bravely" were Chu Lingze and Xu Xiao, and most of the children chose physical experts.

After all, it is rare to go out for an outing, and outdoor games are very popular.

"Chu Lingze, are you full? Let's go when we're full!"

Xu Xiao kept thinking about how to save enough stickers to avoid writing homework for the winter vacation, and finally came to a conclusion: tightly hugging Chu Lingze and Chu Xian's thighs.

In the morning, when he was working part-time at the inn, he was deducted a sticker because he had misremembered whether the guest wanted a hot drink or a room-temperature drink. He basically had no chance with the homework free card, but fortunately, Chu Lingze got the highest reward steadily. .

"Xu Xiao, Ozawa is still eating and you are urging him, do you know it's impolite?"

Xu Xiao's mother grabbed the nape of his neck and smiled embarrassedly at Chu Xian and the others.

Chu Xian had long been used to Xu Xiao's carelessness, so he didn't care about it, and bought a big cup of yogurt for each of the two little guys.

"I'm really sorry, Xu Xiao is a little too familiar with himself, so he has caused you a lot of trouble, hasn't he?"

"It's okay, it's rare for Ozawa to have such a good friend, and my husband and I actually like Xu Xiao very much."

Chu Xian smiled lightly.

"That's great."

Xu Xiao's mother stared blankly for a while, the Xu family is a traditional and conservative family, Xu Xiao is actually very unpopular at home, no wonder he always likes to run to Chu Lingze's house.

The first game in the afternoon was played outdoors. A bridge for people to walk was paved with many pieces of foam boards on the half-meter-deep warm pool, but only one of the two side-by-side foam boards had a fixed solid support underneath. If you step on another piece, you will fall into the water with the board.

Due to the limited space, this game is also one of the tasks for the children and parents who have chosen the "physical fitness master". When Chu Xian and the others arrived, there were already many people who fell into the warm water pool.

"It's just pure luck."

Xu Xiao's mother stood on the shore and observed for a while, then shrugged helplessly.

"That's right, these two foam boards look exactly the same, so you can't tell the real from the fake."

Xu Xiao squatted at the starting point with a sad face on his face. According to the teacher in charge of this game, so far no one has been lucky enough to pass without stepping on any wrong piece.

"Anyway, as long as you pass it, right?"

Xu Xiao's mother rolled up her trouser legs while talking, picked up Xu Xiao and clamped the little guy under her arm, and involuntarily fell into the warm pool.

"Mom! This way you will get a small sticker!"

Xu Xiao struggled desperately, but was only lifted higher.

"Anyway, you are already not satisfied with your savings, so it doesn't matter if you deduct two more tickets."

"Mother--!"

Xu Xiao struggled to no avail, and was carried directly to the other side of the pool by his mother, where he got two small stickers for "participation points".

Chu Lingze was so teased from ear to ear by their mother and son, it was his and Chu Xian's turn to remember and worry,

"Dad, Ozawa didn't bring a change of clothes..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you fall into the water."

Chu Xian squatted in front of Chu Lingze and motioned him to put his back on his back. After Chu Lingze was ill, he was no longer as soft and round as before, and it took almost no effort to carry him on his back.

"What can daddy do? Can daddy tell which piece of foam board is fake?"

"can not tell."

Chu Xian took off his shoes and socks,

"But watching others step on it, I can basically remember the order of truth and falsehood."

"Daddy can remember this too?!"

Chu Lingze said in surprise.

This method is actually not difficult to think of, but there are [-] groups of foam boards in the pool, and many people will fall into the water if they only step on one or two boards, and they don’t even have the correct answer.

"Try it. At worst, you and Xu Xiao can play in the water again."

Chu Xian stepped onto the foam pontoon with Chu Lingze on his back, marched forward bravely under the disbelieving eyes of more and more people, and finally stopped at the position of three foam boards away from the finish line.

"Uncle Chu, come on! Go!"

Xu Xiao stood by the pool and waved vigorously. Seeing that Chu Xian hadn't moved for a long time, he spun around anxiously.

"Mom, why didn't they move?"

"No one has ever reached that location,"

Xu Xiao's mother shrugged, "So Chu Xian can't decide which piece to step on."

"Then what to do!"

Xu Xiao sighed, he finally knew why the teachers were able to generously set up a prize called homework-free coupons. With this level in front of them, it was impossible for anyone to perfectly collect all fifteen stickers.

"Let's bet."

Xu Xiao's mother originally wanted to bury her head in the water to help them see, but even the underwater pontoon bridge was set up with light blocking boards, so that people couldn't see what was going on.

"Dad, why don't we go to the left?"

Ozawa lay on Chu Xian's back, frowned and analyzed carefully,

"I've been counting. Although I didn't find a pattern, I found that the left side seems to be less than the right. If the left and right are evenly distributed, then, is it safer to choose the left?"

"Makes sense,"

Chu Xian nodded,

"But Mom and Dad prefer to choose the zero-risk way."

"Eh?"

Before Chu Lingze had time to ask, Chu Xian stepped forward with his long legs, carried him behind his back and crossed the last three squares to the finish line.

The parents who secretly memorized the answers in the back were stunned... Even if they could barely memorize the correct order, the last three grids couldn't be crossed by the average person's leg length.

Chu Lingze got a full score of sticker rewards as he wished—a total of seven stickers, and quietly tore four stickers and pasted them on Xu Xiao's arm when no one was looking.

"Mr. Bai, why do you always go after Uncle Chu?"

Xu Xiaoren is a big kid, he didn't know when he noticed the abnormality of the follower teacher, and asked directly.

"Chu Lingze and his father's performance is so wonderful, of course I can't miss the wonderful scene."

Teacher Bai found an excuse to perfunctory the past, Chu Xian sized him up after hearing the sound, although he didn't speak, but just being watched by him like this, Teacher Bai broke out in a cold sweat - this extra money is really It's not easy to make money.

"Teacher, teacher,"

Xu Xiao hooked his hands and asked Teacher Bai to turn his ear,

"If you are like this, Uncle Shen... even Chu Lingze's father will probably get beaten if he finds out! Uncle Shen is very stingy, and he is very good at beating!"

Xu Xiao waved his fist pretendingly as he spoke, but unfortunately, before Teacher Bai could reply, he was snatched away by his mother.

Seeing the four of them going away, Mr. Bai scratched his head in embarrassment, and after sending out the newly captured Chu Xian, he added a sentence, which meant that his secret filming should be over here.

Mao Mao's head immediately asked him why, Teacher Bai had to explain truthfully, it was going to be dark soon, and the last project will be carried out in the closed gallbladder test room indoors, and there is no way for him to sneak in and follow Chu Xian.

And Chu Xian, who didn't know anything about the content of the evening's project, was still queuing up to buy grilled sausages for the two little guys.

After he bought the sausage, the two children were taken by Xu Xiao's mother to get the task card for the evening. Chu Lingze, as the only child who is expected to collect all fifteen stickers, can be said to have high hopes from the whole class. .Xu Xiao even directly helped Chu Lingze boast, saying that as long as his superman father was around, nothing would trouble them.

"So, what's the last event?"

Chu Xian asked lightly.

"Test of Courage!"

Xu Xiao and Chu Lingze replied in unison. The two little guys seemed a little excited. Xu Xiao's mother saw that Chu Xian was confused, so she explained,

"That is, we will be taken to different places on the back mountain. Everyone has to find a puzzle according to the prompts. Only when we have collected four puzzles can we pass the final test."

"Houshan? Can the school guarantee safety?"

"I asked the teacher, and they said that they came out of a circle and passed the safety test. Each of us will send a walkie-talkie, especially their children. If they are afraid or can't go on, the teacher will immediately rescue them."

"I don't need a teacher to save me!"

Xu Xiao patted his chest domineeringly,

"Chu Lingze, don't be afraid, I'll be the first to find you when I go in, and I'll protect you!"

"...Ozawa is not afraid of these things."

Chu Lingze's voice was a little low, and Xu Xiao, who was in a state of excitement, couldn't hear clearly.

"what?"

"It's nothing, then I'll wait for you to come to me."

Chu Lingze smiled.

"Stinky boy, why don't you worry about your mother and me?"

"Mom—you are the only Alpha among the four of us, shouldn't you have the courage and momentum to kill ten cows with one punch?"

"Although my daddy is not an Alpha, he is also very powerful."

Chu Lingze was afraid that Xu Xiao's bragging would fall into the limit of Chu, so he hurriedly added.

The four were noisy, and quickly assigned their starting points by drawing lots. After wearing blindfolds as required, they were taken up the mountain one by one by the staff.

"Chu Lingze—! I'm not afraid—! Haha!"

Before the game started, I heard Xu Xiao's howling in his dantian. He was probably afraid and wanted to cheer himself up by yelling. Even Chu Xian couldn't help but laugh.

"Chu Lingze, don't be afraid! I'll come to you right away!"

"Chu Lingze..."

Xu Xiao's voice became smaller and smaller, the four of them should have been scattered to various places.

Chu Xian thought in his heart, Xu Xiao's mother and Ozawa shouldn't need him to worry, Xu Xiao's behavior is a bit embarrassing, and he will go to help the kid later.

Chu Xian remained calm until he took off the blindfold and found that he was not in a remote mountain wilderness, but in a dark secret room where he couldn't see his fingers.
