Chapter 57: Tiger Leaps Over the Stream

  Hupao Brook is one of the most famous scenic spots in Xiangling City, but there are not many tourists. The main reason is that the mountain road there is too difficult to walk and it's inconvenient to come and go.

  Although it is said that no admission fee is charged there, yet few people go there for sightseeing.

  Most people would rather take photos or have fun at some scenic spots in the city as a memento.

  But for these students who have just started their summer vacation, this is not a problem at all. For them, going to play at the Tiger Leaping Gorge is very suitable.

  When Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu arrived at the assembly point, Xia Xiao Yu's classmates had almost all arrived.

  Like Xia Xiaoyu, these young people are all dressed up, the boys wearing a clean and tidy casual outfit, the girls wearing floral skirts and the like, looking very eye-catching.

  Some people even wear sun hats, sunglasses or carry umbrellas and other things to block out the sunlight.

  Compared to them, Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu were very ordinary. When they came out, Xuan Qi was wearing a gray sportswear, which didn't draw much attention.

  Xiaoyu changed into a green tracksuit and sneakers on Xuanqi's suggestion, no longer wearing her skirt for the Tiger Leaping Gorge trip.

  "Xiao Yu, how come you're just arriving now? We've been waiting for half a day." Zhang Jiali urged anxiously as she looked at Xia Xiao Yu who had arrived on her bicycle.

  Xia Xiaoyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at her electronic watch: "I'm not late, didn't we agree to meet here at 9 o'clock?"

  Zhang Jiali said: "It's like that, but it's always better to arrive early! By the way, why did you ride a bicycle here? This time we're traveling by midibus."

  "Didn't we say we were going on a bike trip? Why are we taking a minibus?" Xia Xiaoyu asked, looking at the crowded minibus with some confusion.

  "These are all my sponsors." At this time, a oily-faced and long-haired high school student walked over. He was not tall, with a baby face, but looked very confident.

  "Li Jianliang, didn't I say we'd ride bicycles together? How could you change my plans on your own?" Xia Xiaoyu asked unhappily with a pouting face.

  A boy named Li Jianliang said with a careless tone: "What's the big deal? Just take the middle bus. Anyway, you don't have to pay for it. My dad has already arranged everything, and we'll be sent there for free!"

  Li Jianliang's father was the director of the Transportation Bureau in Xiangling City, and naturally had a natural advantage in this regard. Calling a car to pick up his son's classmates was easy.

  However, upon hearing his words, Xia Xiaoyu was very unhappy and said: "Don't you know that the road at Tiger Leaping Gorge is extremely difficult to walk? If we don't ride a bike, it's hard to get through. Moreover, this trip is mainly for physical exercise and perseverance. If we take a car, wouldn't that ruin our original plan?"

  "Anyway, I've called a taxi. If not, you ride your bike and we'll take the taxi." At this time, Li Jianliang, the little fatty, said somewhat unhappily.

  It's clear that Xiaoyu's words had enraged him.

  As an outsider, Xuan Qi didn't want to get involved in this matter. Looking at Xia Xiaoyu and the arguing Li Jianliang, he said: "The road to Tiger Leaping Gorge is too difficult to walk. If you take a minibus, it's not necessarily faster than us riding our bikes!"

  "Who are you?" The little fatty was full of hostility towards Xuan Qi, and when he heard Xuan Qi speak, he unhappily asked Xia Xiao Yu.

  Xia Xiaoyu leaned intimately against Xuan Qi's side and said: "This is my Qi brother, I brought him here especially today."

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Pang was extremely angry, his nose almost twisted. All along, he had a special feeling towards Xia Xiaoyu.

  For the class beauty Xia Xiaoyu, he had always liked her. He felt that among the whole grade, only he was worthy of Xia Xiaoyu.

  Unlike other classmates who wrote love letters to Xiaoyu, Li Jianliang pursued her in a confrontational way. All along, he deliberately approached Xiaoyu and then opposed her.

  In his view, this was a way to attract Xiaoyu's attention.

  After these days of getting along with Xiaoyu, he felt that Xiaoyu was a rare good girl, kind-hearted, studying well, and doing things with great discretion and brains.

  Li Jianliang specially organized the Hu Tiao Xia trip this time, planning to have a joyful reconciliation with Xia Xiaoyu, and then come up with a forceful takeover, who knows if it can turn uncooked rice into cooked rice.

  But unexpectedly, Xia Xiayu brought a boy. Looking at Xia Xiayu's sweet expression, it was clear that she must have liked the boy very much.

  This scene made Li Jianliang feel like he was at a loss for words.

  Li Jianliang has no tricks for pursuing girls. All he can do is set up obstacles first, letting those girls understand his strength and power.

  Then he uses his own strength to coerce the other party into doing what he wants. With this set of combination punches, ordinary girls usually surrender directly.

  Xuan Qi didn't mind the little fatty's questioning at all. After all, he was also a person who had seen big waves, and naturally wouldn't fight with a child for breath.

  "Light rain, let's ride a bike and go to Hu Tiao Xia first, then we'll talk again!"

  Xuan Qi had been to Hu Tiao Xia and understood how treacherous the terrain was there. Although in recent years, for the development of Hu Tiao Xia, the Transportation Bureau built a highway there.

  However, the road conditions are very poor, and there are often landslides and other hazards that make it difficult to drive through. If you take a detour on a smaller road by bike, it won't take too long.

  "Alright, Qi Ge, let's go!" Xia Xiao Yu jumped onto Xuan Qi's car and sat excitedly in the back seat as they headed towards Hu Tiao Gou.

  It was clear that Xia Xiaoyu was extremely happy, and Li Jianliang could hear Xia Xiaoyu's silvery laughter from a distance. This kind of bright laughter, Li Jianliang had hardly ever heard Xia Xiaoyu laugh like this before.

  "Hum, let's go!"

  Li Jianliang originally wanted to show off in front of Xia Xiaoyu, but she didn't buy it. At this time, he felt very embarrassed and had no choice but to instruct the driver to start the car angrily.

  "You think you can catch up with us before we reach Tiger Leaping Gorge? You must be dreaming!" Li Jianliang sneered at Xuan Qi and Xia Xiaoyu, looking down on them with disdain.

  In his opinion, cycling is always slower than driving.

  Li Jianliang understood this principle since he was in elementary school.

  When Li Jianliang was very young, he always walked to school. However, after his father became the head of the transportation bureau, he never walked to school again.

  In recent years, he has developed a habit of taking cars.

  For Li Jianliang, cycling was a hard labor job that didn't suit him at all. So he ruined Xia Xiaoyu's plan and informed the whole class to take a bus to Hu Tiao Gorge.

  Sitting behind Xuan Qi, Xia Xiao Yu felt exceptionally happy. Sitting behind Xuan Qi, Xia Xiao Yu felt a special warmth and joy.

  Smelling the fragrance emitted from Xuan Qi's body, she felt his breathing and gasping, and she had a sense of intoxication. This feeling made Xia Xiao Yu feel as if she was on cloud nine.

  "The scenery on this road isn't bad, is it?" Xuan Qi said as he rode his bike, taking in the views around him while chatting with Xia Xiao Yu.

  Xuan Qi was always busy in his past life and didn't have time to travel by bike. Now, riding a bike and looking at the scenery on the road, he feels very enjoyable.

  For him, it's a spiritual relaxation and also exercises his physical strength.

  This feeling is really beyond words. This subtle feeling brought a hint of enlightenment to his heart. Some problems that he couldn't understand before seemed to be suddenly clarified.

  The scenery by the mountain is magnificent, and as he gazes at this wonderful view, he feels a little reluctant to leave.

  Xuan Qi sighed and said to the old turtle in his body: "Old Turtle, you're right. Taking a walk outside is indeed beneficial for one's physical and mental health. Coming out to breathe in some fresh air, I feel like I've lightened up a lot, and my mind has cleared up a lot too."

  The lazy voice of Lao Ding came over and said, "Of course, the spiritual energy here is much denser than the spiritual energy on your side. Staying outside is naturally better than staying at home. If I, Lao Fu, could have a free body, I would also go out and take a look around, see the famous mountains and rivers, isn't it a very enjoyable thing?"

  Xuan Qi chatted with Lao Ding on one side and talked about some interesting school things with Xia Xiao Yu on the other, time seemed to pass very quickly.

  Xuan Qi is now in excellent physical condition. Although the mountain roads here are very steep, they are not a problem for Xuan Qi at all.

  He rode his bicycle and even when he encountered some slopes, he rushed up with one breath, without feeling a bit tired.

  Many times, Xiaoyu thought of asking him to come down and rest for a while, but was refused by Xuanqi.

  In Xuan Qi's view, this amount of exercise was nothing, not even enough for him to warm up. The current him had already undergone a metamorphosis and was no longer the same person as before.

  Now Xuan Qi's physical strength is unparalleled, and this mountain road poses no obstacle to him at all.

  When Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu arrived at the stone monument in front of Tiger Leaping Gorge, Li Jian Liang's minibus was nowhere to be seen. More than an hour later, the minibus finally appeared.

  However, whether it was Li Jianliang or others, they were all disheveled and looked like they had gone through many twists and turns. After inquiring carefully, it turned out that their car's way forward was blocked by scattered stones on the road.

  So these students all came down to clear the road surface, so that the bus could continue to move forward.

  After a while, they encountered the situation of the minibus breaking down again. Then, they had to start pushing the car, which finally allowed the minibus to climb up the slope.

  After all this trouble, we finally arrived at the front of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

  However, the students who were originally dressed neatly had gone through these twists and turns, one by one, their bodies were soaked with sweat, and they looked quite disheveled.

  This situation made them secretly regretful, if they had known better, it would have been more convenient to ride a bike to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
