wake of the wild

Under the rock wall, looking up, you can only see halfway up the mountain, and everything above is engulfed by sand and dust, falling into a chaotic gray haze.

Lu Qi: "Can you climb up?"

Hu Lingyu: "Shouldn't this be asked before you drag me here?"

Lu Qi: "Drag? Obviously you followed me."

Hu Lingyu: "..."

"I'm not kidding," Lu Qi said seriously, "Judging from the situation of the three check-in points, our current check-in progress should not be slow, but if we want to strive for better results, we must not let go of every opportunity to expand our advantage. "

"Don't be so euphemistic, you have better grades," Hu Lingyu squinted at the fake and modest sika deer, "You just want to be the first."

Lu Qi looked at him: "You don't want to?"

miss you.

But every time this kind of thought pops up, Hu Lingyu will always reject it first, as if there is a built-in psychological safety mechanism, as long as the difficulty is too high, it will be triggered, and then the cycle of "don't be too whimsical" and "fixed point is practical" will be repeated in the brain. Target".

This is the common psychology of many non-dominant families, so Lu Qi's daring to think, dare to do, and still do it is particularly dazzling.

"Give it a try, it counts as far as you climb," Lu Qi patted the mountain wall, "I'm sure you won't have the strength in the future, so I'll find a chance to enter the mountain road when the time comes."

Only the area where the safety net is installed on the rock face is vertically steep, and there are gentler slopes in other directions. It is feasible to change the route midway, but after changing the route, it is impossible to expand the time advantage.

Hu Lingyu thought that Lu Qi said this to comfort himself, but found that the other party looked serious.

"You can't climb to the top of the mountain?"

"You treat me like an iron fighter," Lu Qi said helplessly, "With the exhaustion of physical strength, the speed of rock climbing becomes slower and slower. Once it is so slow that it is better to run on the mountain road, you must change the route in time."

Looking up at the mountain, Hu Lingyu found that the steep places were bare, while the gentler slopes were covered with vegetation, but it was not regular, with twists and turns, unevenness and chaos.

"What if we alternate?" He asked suddenly.

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows: "Alternate?"

Hu Lingyu: "Yes. Climb vertically for a while, run a section of mountain road to slow down the body, especially the arms, and then climb vertically, can it make the physical fitness last longer?"

Lu Qi: "It can also maximize the effective climbing distance."

Hu Lingyu: "Hey."

Lu Qi: "What's the fun?"

Hu Lingyu: "I also have a day to guide you."

Lu Qi: "There is no need to be modest, you have already cultivated to become a master."

Hu Lingyu: "The pattern is small, our fox family has never pursued becoming a spirit, but becoming a fairy."

Lu Qi: "Okay, Daxian."

Forest area.

The artificial rainstorm finally stopped. Teacher Yu checked the time, it was six in the afternoon.So far, no students have completed all cross-country.

At the other end of the communication, Teacher Wei Qiao's voice came: "Has the rain stopped?"

"The ears are quite good." Teacher Yu took off the hairband and let his mind relax. "If you don't stop, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the exam until midnight."

"Oh," Wei Qiao sighed softly, "I just said, you and Teacher Wang are too strict."

Teacher Yu rolled his eyes, thinking that it's fine for you to keep a low profile and fish, but you have the nerve to think that others are serious about their work?But the colleagues on the face were polite: "Hey, we don't want to, there is no way, Director Feng repeated orders, this time we are choosing the best from the best, so don't dare to relax."

"Speaking of Director Feng, he seems to be very busy today. He said he would come to inspect the check-in point, but I haven't seen him until now."

"Neither did we."

"Is it true?"

Teacher Yu was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"I also heard from others," Wei Qiao said in a mysterious voice, "Someone sneaked in, pretending to be a teacher, randomly intercepting and even attacking students."

"Social beast? Are students injured? Why is there no movement on such a big event?" Teacher Yu asked anxiously.

Teacher Wang opened his eyes, the eyelashes were still stained with raindrops, crystal clear.

"I don't know the specific situation," Wei Qiao said, "but no students were injured, maybe the director has settled the matter."

Got it. "

"Settled? Shouldn't this kind of thing be reported..." Teacher Yu was kicked before he could finish speaking.

Inexplicably turned back.

Teacher Wang didn't bother to talk to him, and directly took the initiative to communicate: "Mr. Wei, you just said that those two students have returned to the valley?"

"Oh," Mr. Wei started with the topic of sika deer and red fox. He didn't expect to talk for so long before being dragged back. "According to Mr. Jin, who is on the inspection tour, the two of them are already close to the top of the mountain."

"So fast?"

"Climb and run, combine work and rest."

A few seconds of awkward blankness.

"It seems that Mr. Wang has nothing to talk to me about," Wei Qiao quickly built the steps for himself, "That's it?"

"See you."

After the communication ended, Teacher Yu immediately asked, "Why are you kicking me?"

Teacher Wang shut up Sleeping Beauty, and opened his mouth even more poisonously: "Is your brain stunned by the elastic band, can't you tell that Wei Qiao is fooling you?"

Teacher Yu: "What do you mean? Someone sneaked in and he made it up?"

"Okay, you are so stupid," Teacher Wang said helplessly, "There is no wind without waves, and there are probably things that happen, but I guess he just listens to the wind, so I will pass you a message. As long as you know something, you can do it with your brain." You have to be caught by him."

"But I don't know anything."

"So he settled for the next best thing and changed it to fanning the flames. If I don't kick you, you have already reported it."

"That can't be done." Teacher Yu still had a sense of propriety, "I have to ask the director first about what's going on."

Teacher Wang: "Why didn't Wei Qiao ask?"

Teacher Yu: "..."

Rainstorm and early sunshine, the sunset is dim.

Teacher Yu read four characters in the vast sky: People's hearts are unpredictable.

Translated into vernacular: Don't trust crocodiles.

Those who followed Hu Lingyu and Lu Qi were not only in the forest area and the sandy area, but Teacher Meng in the valley area was also worried about them on the cliff since he knew they chose to "return the same way".

Finally, at the last moment before the sun set on the horizon, two sweat-soaked faces arrived in front of the No. 1 and No. 2 clock-in machines at the same time.

"Successful punch."

"Successful punch."

The dozen or so classmates in the safety net are all newcomers after the two jumped off the cliff. I have never seen the heroic spirit of one deer and one fox climbing from top to bottom. Climb up, ashamed, like a dragon coming up from the abyss.

Then they opened their mouths wide and watched the dragon brush his face, check in, and go up the cliff.

Teacher Meng's gratifying voice came from the cliff: "Quick, don't waste time here, sprint to the finish line!"

A dozen students: "..."

Climbing to the peak with bare hands, all three check-ins are done. They often doubt their lives because their competitors are too scary.

The two children disappeared in the direction of the end of the valley area. Teacher Meng contacted the command center immediately and asked about the students in the first echelon of progress. He learned that there was only one group whose speed was similar to that of Hu Lingyu and Lu Qi.

"However, the last check-in place of these five students is in the sandy area, and they are currently sprinting towards the end of the sandy area," the teacher in charge of the dispatching center said objectively, "Because the ends of the two sides are different, it is still hard to say which one will arrive first."

"There are five groups in the sand area?" Teacher Meng didn't expect there to be so many people.

Teacher in charge: "Yes, they are all big cats."

Forest area, near the finish line.

Jaguar: "Hey—(Fucking fast!)"

South China Tiger: "Ho Ho Ho Ho—(Don't worry, boss, we will definitely be number one)"

Sumatran Tiger: "Ho Ho, Ho Ho! (I see the end!)"

Bengal Tiger: "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hoo—(la la la la la)"

Congo Lion: "Roar! Roar—(Don't squeeze, let the boss cross the finish line first)"

South China Tiger: "Hey~~~ (I'm still humbly)"

Bengal Tiger: "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hoo—(hahahahahaha)"

"Boom-bang!"

A note

Colorful signal flares pierced the sky when the black jaguar crossed the finish line.

This is the congratulations to the No.1 arriving candidates at each end point.

"Thank you!" The teacher of the examination team stationed at the end of the forest area took out a signal flare and lit it.

"Boom-bang!"

The No.5 follower No. 2 who crossed the finish line, the Sumatran tiger, Zhao Sheng, slowly changed back to human form, and looked at the sky blankly: "Why do you have to play it twice?"

"The one in front is not from our place." The teacher of the examination team said kindly, "Come on, come here and confirm some results."

"Wait, teacher," Fu Xi'ang stopped, "let's talk about the signal flare first."

The teacher of the examination team continued to be amiable: "You may just listen to the sound and not pay attention to the sky. The one in front is placed in the sand area."

Fu Xi'ang: "It means that there are people in the valley area who are faster than us?"

The teacher of the examination team closed his double chin: "They should hurry up a little bit, the time of a signal flare."

"He-they?" Fu Xi'ang couldn't help raising his voice, there was more than one fucking?

The four attendants quickly pulled the boss over, three comforted him, and one pretended to be obedient: "Teacher, how many people are there?"

"Five."

"Who is it?"

"This……"

"Teacher, if you don't say it now, the results will be announced later. We just want to lose clearly."

"Okay." The teacher of the examination team took the test equipment and checked the real-time updated information on it. "Coincidentally, they are all in the same class as you, Cui..."

After hearing the five familiar names, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling very unhappy.

Wang Yanning couldn't hold back, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, why did they get the first place?"

The teacher of the examination team didn't hear any swear words, only heard the first, and explained: "They are the first to reach the end of the sandy area, but they are not the first, they are three to eight."

Big Cat Legion: "Huh?"

Teacher: "You five are nine to thirteen."

"No, who is number one and number two?"

Teacher: "It's the end of the valley area. We can't see the signal flares over there."

"So, which two are they?"

Teacher: "Teacher, take a look, No. 1...Class 9, Lu Qi, No. 2, Class 2, Hu Lingyu."

Big Cat Legion: "..."

Fu Xi'ang, against the exam, Lu Qi's men were defeated.

Follower No. 3 Ma Qianqian, above.

Follower No. 4 Wang Yanning, against the exam, Hu Lingyu's men were defeated.

Follower No. 2 Zhao Sheng, same as above.

Attendant No. 1 Zhang Hu: "Boss, do you think the five of us clashed with the two of them, or did they have evil spirits in their lives to defeat the cat?"

Valley area, end point.

By the deep pool of the waterfall, the little fox is lying on the belly of the sika deer. After the animalization is over, it becomes both lying on their backs. The difference is that Lu Qi is lying on the ground, and Hu Lingyu is lying on Lu Qi's lap. Very comfortable.

After the teacher confirmed the results at the finish line, he went with the two children.

"Are you planning to get up?" Lu Qi teased, but put his hands behind his head, An Yi looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the gap between the leaves.

"I won second place for the first time, so I'll be happy again." Hu Lingyu took a deep breath, obviously exhausted, but his thoughts were relaxed like never before, like a cloud, about to float into the night.

"Won the second for the first time?" Lu Qi was playing with Hu's words, "Isn't this kind of sentence usually saying 'first time for the first time'?"

"Anyway, it's only two points away, rounded up, it's number one!"

Lu Qile is happy, but Hu is easy to talk to.

However, Hu Lingyu actually had a chance to be the first. When he sprinted to the finish line, Lu Qi deliberately gave up half of his shoulder, but the little fox realized it in a second and withdrew his shoulder again.

After several repetitions, Lu Qi finally understood his partner's determination.

But he still didn't understand: "Since the difference is only two points, why must I take the first place?"

The waterfall falls into the deep pool, splashes the waves, and the water vapor is dense.

"It was originally yours." Hu Lingyu said.
