Chapter 601: Fire and Water
“What did you write on the message?” I had a bad premonition.
“(*^__^*) Hehe… the person who picks it up downstream will definitely be very happy because there’s a voucher inside.”
It’s true everyone likes money nowadays, but what is the voucher for? Is it for Wal-Mart? I think it would cost more gas money than the money you save from the voucher if you head to Wal-Mart from here.
“It’s not a supermarket voucher. You won’t be very happy picking up something that normal.” Xiao Qin said while balancing herself on a rock, “I wrote on the message in the bottle: anyone who comes to join the wedding between me and Ye Lin cla.s.smate can get ¥5…”
It’s even more useless than a supermarket voucher! I think wedding gifts are usually around ¥100, who in their right minds would spend ¥95 to attend a stranger’s wedding?
Xiao Qin still had a dream-like expression as she gazed into the distance:
“They will be very happy picking up such a precious voucher and they can’t wait until Ye Lin cla.s.smate and I get married.”
“I’m envious of the one who picks up the floating bottle…”
Please don’t be envious. I can guarantee the person who picks it up wouldn’t care about the message inside and just sell the bottle as sc.r.a.ps.
In the end, it’s still just trash.
You didn’t even write the date or location on the voucher, so even if they wanted to come, they wouldn’t know where to go.
I suddenly heard someone calling my name from twenty meters above us at the top of the mountain.
“Ye Lin, where did you go? Come help me.”
It turns out Niu ShiLi wanted to move a large rock that was in the way and couldn’t find me.
I gladly ran back to the top of the mountain. Physical work was a part of my responsibilities and it was a pleasure to work with Niu ShiLi.
Even if I pretended to not care, it brought me a lot of pleasure showing off my strength in front of many girls.
“One, two, three.”
The irregular shaped rocks that was over 200 pounds was lifted up by Niu ShiLi and me, then moved to a place where it wouldn’t be in the way.
Loud Mouth exclaimed: “The two of you are so string, it should be easy for you guys in the future to lift up your brides.”
Zhuang Ni was leaning against a tree in the shade and was asleep like she was feigning death, then she suddenly opened her eyes and said:
“They wouldn’t be able to lift you up, they would need a crane and jack to lift you up…”
Loud Mouth glared at her: “I’m not giving you any delicious food later.”
Zhuang Ni revealed an all-knowing smile and leaned her head back against the trunk not caring her hair might be damaged by the coa.r.s.e bark.
“I don’t want to eat anything, unless the cla.s.s leader feeds me mouth to mouth… Gong CaiCai is fine too.”
“You philandering lesbian.” Loud Mouth accused, “If you were a man, you would be playboy sc.u.m.”
I sneezed for some reason. It’s strange, maybe the summer day’s wind was too cold.
Zhuang Ni squinted and said words that gave me chills:
“If I was a disgusting man, I would have killed myself when I was an embryo.”
At this time, Xiao Qin walked back from the brook. Xiong YaoYue ran over to her to discuss with her how to maximize their plunder of the food.
“Put this here. Put that… over there where Ye Lin and the others moved the rock away from.”
The cla.s.s leader directed the girls where to place down the picnic mats Loud Mouth brought from home.
Some other students also brought some, but most of it was contributed by Loud Mouth.
I feel like Loud Mouth’s family spends most of their income on food or food-related equipment.
The cla.s.s leader commanded everyone in an orderly manner and soon turned the top of Cui Song Mountain into an exclusive BBQ campground for cla.s.s 2-3.
If we looked down at the site from the skies with the campfire as the center, the three barbecue grills formed an equilateral triangle and the 12 picnic mats were placed outside the grills in a 12-sided shape, all only 7 or 8 steps away from the grills.
It was basically a modified Bagua diagram!
“Optimus Prime…”
I heard Loud Mouth discussing something quietly with the other girls.
Why do they know about Optimus Prime? Did Xiao Qin tell you guys? Did she also say the Optimus Prime was a token of love from me?
I listened closely and it turns out the fire starter bucket had a Optimus Prime brand.
By this time, Eunuch Cao had dried his clothes and put them back on. For safety and conservation reasons, the cla.s.s leader suggested to temporarily extinguish the campfire.
“Let me do it, let me do it.” Xiong YaoYue couldn’t sit still after she heard, “I love extinguishing fires.”
Earlier, you just said you love to set fires. Are you that American part-time firefighter who deliberately set fires? That firefighter caused one of the largest forest fires in the history of Arizona and was finally sentenced to ten years in prison.
As I was having random thoughts, Xiong YaoYue received the job to extinguish the fire from the cla.s.s leader. I bet the cla.s.s leader thought putting out fires was better than setting fires, and if she didn’t let Xiong YaoYue use her energy somewhere, she would cause trouble sooner or later.
Xiong YaoYue took the plastic basin given to her by the cla.s.s leader, then she ran to the brook as fast as she could and filled it up with water. Then she ran back at an even faster speed, spilling half of the water on the way.
“Watch this, water beats fire, urgent rule.”
Xiong YaoYue shouted some lines from a game, then excitedly tossed the water out of the basin.
It was pretty accurate. Although there wasn’t a lot of water, the momentum was enough to put out the campfire and only a dim ember remained.
However, the problem was, Eunuch Cao who had just put on his dried clothes, did not have time to dodge it.
So he was completely soaked again. He wanted to cry after being soaked with water while he was in front of a fire.
The worst part was the fire was put out, so if he wanted to dry his clothes, the fire had to be started again.
Eunuch Cao spat out a mouthful of water and said: “You moved way too fast, at least give me some time to react…”
“You’re the one who’s too slow.” Xiong YaoYue threw the plastic basin to the ground, defiantly crossed her arms and said, “You’re a man, so on a hot day like today, your clothes can dry just with you wearing it.”
“Go over to the grills and dry it a bit.” The cla.s.s leader looked helplessly at the trouble Xiong YaoYue had made, “The charcoal fire has been started, so you shouldn’t get sick.”
Eunuch Cao could only head by the grill with his body of wet clothes.
Suddenly his eyes spun and he said to Xiong YaoYue:
“Winnie, did you know I can perform magic?”
“Magic? You?” Xiong YaoYue had a face of disbelief, “Are you going to turn yourself from a fatty into a dead fatty?”
“That’s right, a magic trick.” Eunuch Cao nodded, “I have a trick if I just chant the incantation beforehand, then pour water on you… let’s just use this half bottle of mineral water, then you will not get wet at all.”
“Really?” Xiong YaoYue raised her brows, “That’s a trick bottle, right?”
“Don’t worry about if it’s a prop or not.” Eunuch Cao continued, “Anyway, if my magic trick doesn’t work, I’ll give you ten dollars.”
Xiong YaoYue’s eyes lit up once money was mentioned, then she stood up straight and said, “Then, come and show me your magic trick.”
“Wait, don’t do it.” Xiao Qin reminded her in a hurry from the sidelines.
But it was already too late, Eunuch Cao maliciously splashed the remaining water in the bottle all over Xiong YaoYue’s chest. Her white cla.s.s uniform T-shirt had become very transparent when soaked in water, and it instantly outlined the shape of her sports bra. Now, Xiong YaoYue had become soaked like Eunuch Cao.
