Chapter 284 Procurement

Mo Han really didn't know what to say to Qu Hanlan. Daily greetings like 'How's it going' or 'Talk about the studio' always made her feel that any one of them would cause a flood to break the levee. Thus, even if she could tell that Qu Hanlan's face was whiter than three coats of pink, her complexion couldn't be better.

Hearing this, Qu Hanlan nodded to Mo Han and paused for a moment. She didn't know what she thought of and added, "You too."

In the past, Qu Hanlan spoke coldly, but now, she was simply cold. Before she could finish her sentence, the entire sentence drifted away.

Fortunately, Fu Yuchen shouted for everyone to set off. Otherwise, Mo Han really didn't know what to say next.

Six people and three cars continued to walk up the mountain along the mountain road. Their campsite was near the top of the mountain, but they could only drive halfway up the mountain. This meant that they had to walk up the mountain for the rest of the road.

Halfway up the mountain, the six of them came to a local village. Some of the residents in the village had a farmhouse fun. The villagers were also relying on the mountains to make a living. The six of them ate in the farmhouse fun and rested for a while before preparing to set off.

Three tents, six sleeping bags, a grill brought by Fu Shenchu, some food and water. They hired a porter to help them share some luggage and guide them up the mountain. Although this mountain was not tall, it could only be considered a dirt bag. It was not comparable to famous mountains and rivers, but it was better because of its unique topography, valleys and water, and shallow traces of artificial development. It was very suitable for camping.

Everyone needed some time to go up the mountain, and it took time to set up their tents on the mountain, so the few of them left in a hurry, not enjoying the scenery at all.

Of the six, Mo Han and Fu Yuchen walked the fastest. Both of them shared a lot of luggage. Fu Yuchen had more climbing experience. Mo Han's physical fitness was the best of the three girls, so she moved forward smoothly.

Cangling Mountain did not have any cultural landscapes. The scenery on the mountain was also ordinary, so it had no development value. On the contrary, most of the places were still in a natural state. The path they took up the mountain was also the path that the villagers took on a daily basis.

The porter was a dark man in his forties. He wasn't tall and was a little thin, but he could tell from his arms that his muscles were tight. He had been tempered by life, not by the gym. He was somewhat silent. He didn't speak along the way. Occasionally, he spoke with an extremely strong local accent. Although they were locals, they hadn't come into contact with dialects since childhood. Mo Han wasn't from this city, and she knew dialects. Therefore, the two sides didn't communicate. The porter walked in the front sullenly.

Mo Han and Fu Yuchen were relatively close to the porter, and along the way, they were still discussing whether they could meet a snake or squirrel. They were both scared and excited.

Fu Shenchu and Xiao Ran walked slowly. Fu Shenchu wrapped around Xiao Ran with one hand and supported her with the other. He was afraid that she would not be able to walk steadily and fall. Although the two of them walked slowly along the way, they did not stop. Occasionally, they would look at each other with great affection.

However, Qu Hanlan and Du Junfeng walked with some difficulty. Qu Hanlan rarely exercised. Mountain climbing was her first experience. At first, she still walked on her own. Du Junfeng was behind her in case she leaned back. As she walked, she grabbed Du Junfeng's arm and Du Junfeng took her upwards.

"Old Du, is that okay?" Fu Yuchen, who was at the front, was instructed by Mo Han and asked from a platform.

"You guys go first. Didn't that big brother also say that this is the only way up the mountain? We'll follow along. We can't lose it." Du Junfeng supported Qu Hanlan, who was panting heavily, and shouted.

Fu Yuchen discussed with Fu Shenchu, who followed closely behind him. Xiao Ran said, "Yes, the signal on this mountain is very good. They won't be able to find a way in a while, so we can come down to pick it up."

"Mm, let's go up and set up a tent first. It's not convenient in the dark sky. The weather on the mountain is also unique. It might rain soon." Mo Han also answered.

Thus, Fu Yuchen explained to Du Junfeng, who had just stepped onto the platform, and continued to set off. Du Junfeng waved his hand and signaled them to leave. He helped Qu Hanlan sit on the stone beside him.

Du Junfeng took out a bottle of water from his bag and unscrewed it and handed it to Qu Hanlan. Qu Hanlan raised her hand to wipe the sweat and paused when she saw this.

"Drink, if you don't deal with me, you can't abuse yourself." Du Junfeng did not look at her, but steadily extended his hand forward.

Qu Hanlan pursed her lips, reached out to receive the water, and took a small sip.

"You can go first. I can do it myself …"

"What can I do? Get lost in this forest or fall halfway." Du Junfeng spoke like he was carrying a knife, unconsciously.

Qu Hanlan shut up and stopped talking. It was useless for her to say anything. Du Junfeng would not talk to her properly. Furthermore, it was true that she could not go up the mountain by herself.

The scenery here was indeed good. It was indeed effective to rest for a while during the mountain climbing. Qu Hanlan sat on a stone and did not speak to Du Junfeng since that sentence. But now she was resting enough, not to mention that Du Junfeng wasn't too tired, but it was harder for her to take the initiative to speak than climbing a mountain.

However, it was getting late now. If they didn't go up the mountain, they would have to climb the mountain at night. Furthermore, those people were also going to be found. Qu Hanlan looked at Du Junfeng, who was still as calm as ever, and brewed for a moment before saying,

"Let's go."

Du Junfeng looked up at her, stood up, took a few steps forward, and then turned to look at her, "Didn't you say you wanted to leave? Are you going to let me carry you up?"

Qu Hanlan stood up from the stone and hurriedly followed.

Not long after, Qu Hanlan was out of breath again. Du Junfeng looked at her and sighed helplessly. He knew that Qu Hanlan would not be willing to hug her by herself, so he just dawdled on. In any case, Fu Zi and the others should have already climbed to the top of the mountain. They have set up tents and barbecue grills. Brother Fu's craftsmanship is not bad either …

Du Junfeng walked slowly with Qu Hanlan. It was really boring. His brain started to run wild. Suddenly, Qu Hanlan grabbed his forearm. Du Junfeng looked at Qu Hanlan in surprise, but Qu Hanlan looked ahead with a face full of fear.

Du Junfeng followed her gaze in confusion and discovered that it was a thin little earth snake. It was coiled on a stone beside a large tree and was very conspicuous.

Du Junfeng's first reaction was to think about what was in his backpack and what was on the side. He could bring it to catch snakes. Qu Hanlan, who was standing beside him, had been leaning towards him because of fear, but Du Junfeng did not notice.

He noticed that there was no movement from the snake. Furthermore, it looked like it had been there for a while. There was only one way to get to the top of the mountain. Then Fu Yuchen and the others must have seen it when they went up earlier. Since both sides were safe, they could try it first without alerting the snake.

Du Junfeng gently stroked Qu Hanlan's back and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Fu Zi and the others went over just now. They must have seen this snake as well. Let's go over quietly and try not to alarm it."

Qu Hanlan nodded her head trembling. Right now, she had been staring at that snake, and her mind was completely unable to move. What Du Junfeng said was what it was.

Du Junfeng held Qu Hanlan's hand in his and pulled her forward slowly. When they were closest to the snake, they were about three to four meters away.

The two of them carefully tried not to make a sound and walked forward. Just as they passed the place closest to the snake, the snake did not move. Their hearts relaxed slightly.

"Oh."

Qu Hanlan accidentally stepped into a pit filled with treemakers. She did not notice that Qu Hanlan tilted her body and almost fell over. Du Junfeng hurriedly hugged her, but Qu Hanlan quickly covered her mouth and turned to look at the snake.

The snake's tail slowly moved, and neither of them dared to breathe. However, the snake only moved its tail, but its head was never revealed.

Du Junfeng heaved a sigh of relief and helped Qu Hanlan stand properly. He squatted down and directly put Qu Hanlan on his shoulder. He walked forward silently and quickly.

Qu Hanlan was so shocked that she didn't dare to say anything. She covered her mouth and allowed Du Junfeng to go forward against her.

After walking for a long time, Qu Hanlan whispered to Du Junfeng, "Put me down. Alright."

Hearing this, Du Junfeng walked forward again. He found a stone and put Qu Hanlan down. First, he looked at her with a gloomy gaze and looked at Qu Hanlan with a shiver. He didn't know why.

Then, Du Junfeng lifted Qu Hanlan's feet and placed them on his knees. He slowly opened her trousers' legs. Sure enough, her ankles were already swollen.

Qu Hanlan hissed. She had been frightened just now, but now she felt the pain.

Du Junfeng sighed helplessly. He took out a bottle of scratch spray from his bag and sprayed it on her ankle. He also helped her fix the hem of her trousers so that she wouldn't touch Qu Hanlan's injury.

"I'm sorry." Qu Hanlan lowered her head and said softly.

Du Junfeng rearranged the contents of his bag and said, "What are you sorry about? You didn't attract the snake."

After saying that, he handed the backpack to Qu Hanlan and signaled for her to carry it. Qu Hanlan was dumbfounded, but she still hadn't reacted. What did she mean? But seeing Du Junfeng's determined expression, she carried it on her back. Afterwards, Du Junfeng maintained his crouching position in front of her, turned around in front of her, turned around and grabbed her hands, hung them around his neck, and with a force, he stood up with her on his back.

Qu Hanlan felt the powerful hand hanging beneath her legs and quietly tightened her hand around Du Junfeng's neck. She knew that even if she wanted to forcefully come down, it would still be a delay.

Du Junfeng carried Qu Hanlan on his back, but it was faster than before. Qu Hanlan's figure was slender, and Du Junfeng felt that she was not even as heavy as that backpack.

At dusk, the two finally arrived at their campsite.

Fu Yuchen saw them first and walked over, "Forget it. If you don't come, I'll go down and look for them."

Mo Han walked over with the vegetable skewer in her hand. She first saw Qu Hanlan's exposed ankle and asked, "Aiya, what happened? Did you sprain your ankle?"

Du Junfeng slowly put down Qu Hanlan. Mo Han handed the string to Fu Yuchen and went over to help Qu Hanlan. As Du Junfeng brought his backpack back, he said, "Yes, I ran into a snake on the way. I accidentally twisted it and sprayed some medicine on it."

Qu Hanlan carefully thanked Mo Han. Mo Han first lowered her head and looked at her, saying, "Just now, Sister Xiao Ran was saying that she brought a lot of medicine. Let's go find her and deal with it for you." After saying that, he signaled to the two of them, then supported Qu Hanlan and slowly walked towards the tent.

"You've also met the snake," said the porter. "That snake usually won't bite people, as long as it doesn't alarm it." Fu Yuchen helped bring Du Junfeng's backpack over and signaled for him to go to the tent.

"Yes, I guess it's probably the same. Where's the porter? I've come up the mountain, but I've never seen him before."

"He said he wanted to go to the nearby forest, dig some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits. They are familiar with the mountains, so they don't think they are afraid of the Black World Mountain." Fu Yuchen took him to the three tents and pointed at one of them. "He also told us not to eat anything on the mountain. Anything we don't know can be poisonous."

"Is this your luggage?" Before Du Junfeng could enter the tent, he bent down and retreated.

"That's right. Ruo Yu is wary of me and refuses to sleep with me." Fu Yuchen spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"I don't care. You go. Qu Hanlan must sleep with me." As he spoke, Du Junfeng took out Fu Yuchen's luggage and threw it into his arms.
