After bidding farewell to Lu Jingye and Xiao Qiang, Mo Shangjun and Liang Zhiqiong walked back directly.
There was no exact path when we came here, but after walking around here for more than an hour, Mo Shangjun roughly determined the direction here, and took a shortcut back to the previous gathering place.
It didn't take long, it took more than ten minutes to walk and we arrived successfully.
The two of them swaggered through the market carrying bundles of wild vegetables. They were very eye-catching when the students were so anxious.
If it wasn't prohibited by the regulations, they would definitely pounce on it and grab it.
Too greedy.
For most students, no matter how thoroughly they memorize the knowledge in textbooks, it is difficult to use it in time in real life. This will definitely take a certain amount of time.
Many times, they can recognize a plant by looking at a picture, but when the plant is actually in front of them, they don't recognize it.
This is simply a disaster.
Many students with good theoretical scores are not even as good as those with rich experience or good eyesight.
So after more than two hours, some people were able to pick piles and piles of wild vegetables, while others only had a pitiful handful. If you weighed them one by one, they would probably be less than a pound.
Mo Shangjun and Liang Zhiqiong went to the bamboo forest to find Ding Jing and Qin Xue. After asking several students, someone pointed out their approximate locations.
However, the two people are not together.
"Who should I go to first?" Liang Zhiqiong asked.
There is no doubt that the first thing Mo Shangjun thought of was Ding Jing.
However, before she could answer Liang Zhiqiong, she heard Yan Gui's voice, "Mo Mo, Mo Mo——"
Yan Gui poked his head out from the bamboo forest above, and then waved his hand towards Mo Shangyun.
His voice was very low and he looked sneaky, and you could tell at a glance that he was going to say something shameful.
Mo Shangyun tilted his head and said to Liang Zhiqiong: "You go find Ding Jing first."
"Where are the things?" Liang Zhiqiong asked, "Do you want me to take them with you?"
Mo Shangjun found more wild vegetables and carried more things in his hands.
Liang Zhiqiong is becoming more and more discerning.
"Need not."
Glancing at the wild vegetables in his hand, Mo Shangyun replied casually.
It doesn't matter if it does or not.
Liang Zhiqiong nodded and said, "That's okay."
After saying that, she took the wild vegetables she found and went to find Ding Jing first.
Mo Shangjun carried the bundles of wild vegetables in one hand and walked up to it with nimble movements, not even slipping along the way. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Yan Gui easily.
Yan Gui sat down on the ground and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The bamboo basket they formed was on top of him. Mo Shangyun glanced at it and found that two-thirds of the bamboo shoots were taken up. He didn't know if Yan Gui dug it alone or if someone else helped.
"I'm so exhausted," Yan Gui breathed out, "They can really dig bamboo shoots with their hands."
Mo Shangjun rolled his eyes.
At least I was given a hunting knife, so I didn't really have to dig in the soil with my hands.
"what you want to say?"
Without talking nonsense to him, Mo Shangyun asked directly.
"I have two things to do here..."
Yan Gui stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Mo Shangyun with a smile.
That posture seems to come at a price.
Mo Shangyun raised his eyebrows at him, "Don't tell me that you only dug bamboo shoots."
"...Exactly." Yan Gui shrank his neck and rolled his eyes.
Because bamboo shoots are easy to find, and there is a bamboo forest nearby, their group made a decision and chose bamboo shoots. Other groups also came to dig, and they wanted to get more, so the four of them were digging bamboo shoots.
When we were almost done digging, we suddenly discovered that almost all the wild vegetables around us had been harvested.
The other three people in their group had already gone to other places to collect, and he was the only one guarding the pile of bamboo shoots.
He was thinking about whether to exchange with the students - exchange the weight of bamboo shoots for the types of wild vegetables, but he didn't expect to see Mo Shangjun.
Yan Gui immediately turned his unimportant thoughts to Mo Shangyun.
Mo Shangjun didn't hesitate, and gave Yan Gui some of each of the wild vegetables in her hand. She found many kinds, and she easily collected them for Yan Gui.
"Mo Mo..."
Taking the wild vegetables with tears of gratitude, Yan Gui rushed towards Mo Shangyun.
This time the distance was very close, and both of them were sitting together. Logically speaking, this move should be easy to pull off, but Yan Gui took his hand back in embarrassment halfway through the attack.
——There was an extra hunting knife in Mo Shangyun's hand. Although it was not unsheathed, one end was pressed against Yan Gui's chest.
Although he knew he wouldn't be hurt, it was a hunting knife after all. Considering Mo Shangyun's ability, it was possible to pull out the hunting knife and chop him.
Yan Gui did not dare to take this risk.
"explain."
The hunting knife turned around in his hand, and Mo Shangyun made a lazily sound.
As soon as she finished speaking, the hunting knife disappeared into thin air in her hand as she moved inward.
Yan Gui looked at it enviously, and suddenly regretted why he didn't use "teaching this trick" as the price, but used some wild vegetables as the price.
However, what was promised still had to be done, and Yan Gui did not delay any further.
"The first thing," Yan Gui stretched out a finger and said with a smile, "There is someone supervising us nearby, not the group of instructors who appeared, but in the dark. I walked around for a while and found out
Yes, they all have equipment in their hands, but they evacuated before I could get close. Anyway, I guess this mission of collecting wild vegetables is not that simple."
"Um."
Mo Shangjun was not surprised by this incident.
She always felt that the atmosphere was strange, as if someone was supervising her, but she didn't know what the specific situation was.
In fact, Yan Gui's message was just a reminder.
They do things in the dark, and it is impossible for students to discover their purpose.
"The second thing," Yan Gui stretched out another finger and continued, "is between Ding Jing and Qin Xue."
Yan Gui glanced at Mo Shangyun specifically, and then said: "When we first started digging bamboo shoots, Ding Jing and Qin Xue were still together, but then they didn't know what they said, and Ding Jing almost started fighting with Qin Xue.
, and finally they went to look for bamboo shoots separately. About an hour ago, anyway, I never saw them together again."
"That's it?" Mo Shangjun asked.
"Yes," Yan Gui curled her lips, "Both of them are too alert. They will be discovered if they get even a little closer, making it difficult to eavesdrop."
Mo Shangyun nodded slightly, understanding what he said.
"Also," Yan Gui's eyes flashed with gossip, "Su Bei was deducted another 4 points by Bu Yirong."
"Um?"
Mo Shangyun came back from his thoughts.
Yan Gui rubbed his hands and described the scene to Mo Shangjun with great interest.
Su Bei is also a member of the army of digging bamboo shoots. Her hunting knife is very handy and the speed of digging bamboo shoots is very fast. As long as she finds some signs, she can dig them out smoothly.
Because she is very conspicuous, Bu Yirong, who is watching around, can easily find her.
For the first time, Bu Yirong squatted next to Su Bei and asked Su Bei which way is the east. Su Bei made a clear and logical analysis, but in the end he pointed the wrong direction, so Bu Yirong crossed out her two points with a smile.
The second time, Bu Yirong once again asked Su Bei about some knowledge about bamboo shoots, such as bamboo shoot types, growth environment, distribution range, etc. Su Bei could answer one or two, but not seven or eight, so he was asked again.
Bu Yirong ruthlessly crossed out two points.
Ding Jing was digging bamboo shoots near them at that time. When he saw this scene, he immediately ran out of the way and ran away for unknown distance. Anyway, he turned around when he saw Bu Yirong, for fear that Bu Yirong would shift his target to her.——
Because she is not even as good as Su Bei, her points will definitely be severely deducted.
Mo Shangyun sat for a while, listening to Yan Gui's gossip. Then when he saw that the time was almost up, he went to find Ding Jing and the others.
Yan Gui's mission has been completed. When she left, he also gave her two bamboo shoots as a gift, and expressed enthusiastically that there was not enough.
Mo Shangyun didn't want "not enough" at all, otherwise she would have to beat Ding Jing and Qin Xue to death.
Fortunately, when she met Ding Jing and Liang Zhiqiong, she found that the bamboo basket Ding Jing was carrying was full of bamboo shoots.
"Mo Shangjun, do you think we can buy some wild vegetables to make ends meet after we retire from the army?"
Liang Zhiqiong is still in a state of excitement and cannot stop at all.
She had never had such an experience since she was a child. Liang Zhiqiong's heart was in a state of wandering and she had never returned to her original place.
Like a kid going to the amusement park for the first time.
Thinking of the identity of Liang Zhiqiong's daughter, Mo Shangjun's lips twitched slightly and sighed, "Miss, can you have some ambition?"
"Self-reliance is not ambition?" Liang Zhiqiong retorted confidently.
Ding Jing put his arm around Liang Zhiqiong and laughed, "You are indeed very ambitious."
Feeling the ridicule in Ding Jing's tone, Liang Zhiqiong rolled her eyes at Ding Jing angrily.
If possible, Liang Zhiqiong would really like to fight Ding Jing, but last month's experience told her that she would not be able to defeat Ding Jing in a short period of time.
Freed from Ding Jing's control, Liang Zhiqiong got closer to Mo Shangyun, and then asked, "Are you looking for Qin Xue?"
"Let's go to the gathering place." Ding Jing suggested, "She is not a fool. She will go to the gathering place when the time comes. What's more, our bamboo baskets are full and we can't hold her old man's bamboo shoots, so we have to trouble her to carry them.
"
Weird and weird.
It seems that Yan Gui is right.
Mo Shangjun put all her wild vegetables on the bamboo basket she was carrying, as if putting a hat on the bamboo basket.
When Ding Jing saw that she had put it away, he wanted to leave, but Mo Shangyun suddenly thought of something, grabbed the edge of the bamboo basket, and pulled Ding Jing back.
"Are you looking for a slap?"
After taking a few steps back, Ding Jing rolled his eyes at Mo Shangjun.
"I'll tidy it up."
Mo Shangjun raised his eyebrows and began to "organize" the wild vegetables in her bamboo basket without explanation.
When it comes to sorting, it actually means taking out the wild vegetables, then taking out a part of the bamboo shoots, then putting the wild vegetables in, and finally putting the taken out bamboo shoots on top of the wild vegetables.
Still filled to the brim.
"What should I do if I get crushed?" Liang Zhiqiong felt a little distressed.
Ah, those vibrant wild vegetables were crushed to pieces in the blink of an eye...
Mo Shangjun clapped his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's going to be chopped into pieces anyway."
Ding Jing finally understood her intention and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
She also felt that this kind of action arrangement was strange. If during the action, the wild vegetables on top fell out, only the bamboo shoots would be left.
She absolutely believes that if you don’t have five kinds of wild vegetables, even if you dig out ten kilograms of bamboo shoots and send them over, they will still deduct points.
After finishing the tossing, the three of them started walking downstairs.
This piece of bamboo must be lush and must be wild. It is deserted around and there are no local residents traveling across mountains and rivers to dig bamboo shoots. It is estimated that only the "financially tight" group like GS9 come here to find some bamboo shoots to improve their food, so every year
Over the course of a year, these bamboos grow wildly and wantonly, making it difficult for them to walk. If they are not careful, they will bump into the bamboos.
That's when it happened.
"咻咻咻——"
"Bang bang bang——"
"Da da da--"
Dense and noisy gunfire swept through the jungle and bamboo forest in an instant, but because of the obstruction of the trees, the sound was isolated again and again, and it did not feel like gunshots to the ears.
If the students hadn't been accustomed to all kinds of gunfire and had enough experience to stay far away, they might have thought they were setting off firecrackers.
The moment he heard the gunfire, Liang Zhiqiong immediately found a place to hide, as if by reflex.
However, Mo Shangjun and Ding Jing still stood there, motionless.
Ding Jing said: "Let's use empty ammunition."
Mo Shangjun said: "Yeah."
"The distance is a bit far. The only ones that were shot here were stray bullets."
"Um."
Mo Shangjun answered again.
Ding Jing couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Because she wanted to avoid Bu Yirong and had some unpleasant troubles with Qin Xue, she simply stayed away from the crowd and collected bamboo shoots alone in a relatively remote place. Unexpectedly, she avoided the intensive shooting area.
After Liang Zhiqiong hid for a few seconds, he found that the two of them were standing still, watching the show in the direction of the sound. He immediately broke down and shouted: "Holy shit, what are you two doing?! Why don't you hide now?!" (Unfinished)
