Chapter 38 Going Up the Mountain
Chapter 38 Going Up the Mountain
Ran Qingfeng, Liu Lan, and Dan Heman each carried a large box, with bags slung over each of their six arms. When they entered Lu Chi's courtyard in the new village at the foot of the mountain, wow, it was a riot of colors, all sorts of gift boxes. The most eye-catching item was a huge mosquito-killing lamp box, which attracted a crowd of onlookers who exclaimed in admiration. It has to be said that this was indeed a thoughtfully designed item; most people wouldn't think of something so practical and in such urgent need.
"Catch this! Who wants bread? My mom just baked it! It's hot!" Ran Qingfeng yelled, and a whole bunch of boys rushed out of the house. "Don't you guys have any sense? How am I supposed to introduce you to pretty junior school girls in the future?"
"No, no, Brother Feng, may you be blessed!"
"Elementary school? Girl? Where are there elementary school girls? To be honest, I, Zhang Wei, have a thing for this kind of thing!"
"Promotion!"
"Alright, this couple has arrived too!"
"Hey, Fengfengzi, is that your dad driving? He's kind of handsome!"
Ran Qingfeng silently waved to the person behind her who was posing impatiently and looking on expectantly, shooing him away without even turning her head: "Yeah, our Deng is acting all neurotic all the time. I really don't know how my mom ever fell for him!"
The giant gorilla Shule gave a high evaluation: "I get it, our auntie is just like you, a sucker for good looks!"
"Get out!" Liu Lan pretended to kick him, then darted into the house like a monkey entering a peach orchard, or a weasel entering a melon patch. "Why didn't I realize there were so many people in our class before? What's going on? Oh, whose little vixen is this? Quick, let me touch her! Slurp! Let me take a good look... Wow, this makeup... she's a vixen begging for a title! Amazing!"
"Just a moment! A few people haven't arrived yet!" The squad leader's voice sounded particularly helpless amidst the howling of the group of three donkeys: "Hey you! Hey you, call that person! They're the only group missing! Are they lost?"
Ran Qingfeng rubbed her hands together, hissing and laughing, "How did you guys get in?"
Shu Weixi said, "When we arrived, we were standing on the street waiting for someone. A lovely grandma next door came over with her key and opened the door for us so we could come in."
"It's so cold in here..." The class monitor looked around. "It doesn't look like it's been heated. Lu Chi doesn't even live downstairs when he's at school, does he?"
"Just look at those legs, that waist, that back—they're like pine cones! That's pure mountain bike gear!"
"What do you mean pine cones? That's a Christmas tree!"
Just as things were getting chaotic, a small van pulled up in front of the door. Zhou Zijin jumped out and started yelling, "Is everyone here? Is everyone here? My van is going up the mountain too! I can fit a few more people in the van! Lu Chi's van is even bumpier than the rest of the car, I told you beforehand!"
Then, the heroes who appeared were the smiling Zhu Gaizhi and the slightly reserved Zhao Danyangzi.
"Even dogs wouldn't sit in a closed carriage! They'd probably throw up!"
"Even animal rights activists would strongly condemn this!"
"Dude, what's all this about? Did you specifically find a car for this?"
"Holy crap, who is this? Isn't this Senior Dan Yangzi?!"
"Senior Danyangzi, Cai Cai, let's scoop some water!"
"After you leave, there will be no more class representative in Class B. We absolutely will not condone that scoundrel Ding Cheng who used this opportunity to rise to power. We can all take his place!"
"Damn it, what can I do if Old Yang personally selected you? Don't you have any options yourself? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
"What's this?"
"It's vegetables~ Lao Lu asked me to bring them~" Zhu Gaizhi crawled into the house, only to find it wasn't as warm as inside the car, so he crawled back out: "Otherwise, you guys are just eating pork?"
"Sister Zhi, Sister Zhi, is there... you know, that one, 8+1?"
"Get out! No!"
After waiting a short while, a huge tractor drove up from the direction they had come from, towing three trailers. As soon as the tractor stopped, Lu Chi jumped off: "Elbow, is everyone here?"
Zhou Zijin gets a new nickname every day, and she doesn't repeat it for a week. She says with a grin, "Besides a few people who can't come because of something, we're just missing those guys from Group Three. They said earlier, let's wait a bit."
As the saying goes, if you use a tractor to pick up your girlfriend, there's a 22% chance you'll fail to pick her up; but if you use it to pick up your buddy, you'll definitely be greeted with a chorus of "Holy crap!" in the name of your adoptive father.
"Holy shit! Lol! Holy shit!"
"This car is awesome! Awesome! Awesome PLUS!"
"I can't even imagine how cool it would be if someone drove this car and waited for me at the school gate. Wouldn't it be like they were ascending the throne?"
"Let me drive! Let me drive!"
"Fuck you! This BYD doesn't even have a C1 license, are you trying to get rid of it?"
"Does this thing even have a passenger seat?"
"It's illegal to carry passengers on a tractor, thank you!"
"Bullshit, that dump truck hitting someone is illegal too!"
"How many more seats are left in the driver's cab, comrades? Your moment of truth has arrived. Hey, someone come here and fill up Prisoner Lu's first tank of gas this spring!"
"This tank of Lao Lu's must have a fuel capacity of at least a thousand liters, right?"
A group of boys rushed up and grabbed Lu Chi, yelling and screaming. They started hitting him without warning, brutally beating this newbie who dared to drive on any road before letting go. Damn it, heavens, why are you so cruel to me!
"You bunch of unfilial sons!" Lu Chi's down jacket was deformed from being shoved by these bastards, and he angrily cursed, "I've memorized your faces. After we slaughter the pigs, I'll send you all to clean up manure and give enemas."
"Yes, how did you know I would deliberately retain some of the original flavor?"
"Holy crap? You're so malicious!"
"You don't eat pig intestines, right?"
"Let's get him!"
In the end, the three groups of men who arrived late were all questioned twice, and the cargo van still didn't make it up the mountain. The entire van of goods was unloaded in no time.
In the truck bed, a group of people huddled together with large and small boxes containing various vegetables, fruits, seafood, firecrackers, and fireworks. Several girls shared a large, brightly colored quilt, their faces full of curiosity, as well-behaved as a flock of little larks. Since there weren't many quilts, the boys were much rougher, just covering themselves with a tarpaulin and that was enough. There were also plastic canopies overhead, and their breath steamed up. It wasn't cold, and the air was always filled with a lively atmosphere.
"Let's go. By the way, those of you who get carsick, move to the back a bit, you know what I mean?" Lu Chi stood below and patted the thick steel door of the truck bed, reminding him, "Senior Danyangzi, are you used to such crude and rudimentary machinery in the lower realm?"
Zhao Danyangzi had only been promoted to the zeroth class, and he'd already been provoked several times. Frustrated and enraged, he yelled, "Damn it, get lost!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"My sword is itching for action! Today, all I need is a slide tackle to bring this wild boar its greatest calamity!"
"What, are you going to offer them some chaff too?"
