Is what you're learning correct?

Chapter 49 needs no further explanation

It seems like we've been up and about for a long time, but it's actually not that late. We started climbing the mountain around 8 or 9 in the morning, and by 3 or 3 in the afternoon, the sun was already setting. Now, it's dark and windy, which is actually around 8 or 9 pm. Many people haven't even woken up from their afternoon nap yet, and the nightlife hasn't even started.

Lu Chi glanced at him and sneered, "Come on, did you even recover from your last meal before drinking again? Look at you, so weak, your face is as white as if you've been dead for three days. Go ask Uncle Jiu to prescribe you a couple of doses, kid!"

Zhou Zijin's expression hardened: "What the hell?! That's such a vicious slander! Your mouth is like a controlled knife!"

Two people got angry today: Sang Biao and Liu Lan.

Liu Lan was quite frightened by the virtual conversation between Shan Heman and Sang Biao today, and was a bit timid. But actually, she was still thinking about the hot spring she had been longing for. She was thinking that after all the ups and downs, she couldn't have come for nothing, and she couldn't have really wasted her time at the hot spring: "Lao Lu, that hot spring, you have to take care of it!"

"He's all muscle, but he's got a tough, upright personality..." Lu Chi clicked his tongue. "It's not that far, but I haven't set up a tent there. All talk and no action, with that little body, can he withstand the cold?"

Liu Lan gritted her teeth: "I'm a local from Yanchuan! A little hot spring is nothing to me!"

"Sister..." Zhou Zijin felt this little thing might have gone mad. It was minus twenty degrees Celsius outside, and with the mountain wind blowing, the temperature felt like an explosion. Soaking in an open-air hot spring? "What's your obsession with those crappy hot springs?"

Liu Lan forced a smile, embarrassed: "I...I've never been to a hot spring before..."

"No way?? You're from Yanchuan and you've never been to a hot spring?"

"Um..."

"You... never mind, things were so chaotic before. Where's Danyangzi?" Ran Qingfeng looked around anxiously. "He didn't leave with us, did he? That guy!"

Zhou Zijin said, "Let me tell you a real ghost story. During the last two self-study periods of Class Zero..."

"Holy crap!" Ran Qingfeng leaned back dramatically. "A poet? Studying on the fifteenth of the first lunar month? This is way scarier than ghost stories! Are Class Zero really that crazy? Are they raising some kind of evil sword immortal? Aren't they afraid of getting a socialist flying kick?"

"Who would report it? There's no need. If you really don't want to come, just ask for leave separately..." Zhu Gaizhi said, "Besides, there are quite a few abstract learners in Class Zero, well, they're different from our class, I mean in a different sense!"

Lu Ying yawned and came back from upstairs. With so many people around, she kept a straight face, very conscious of her image: "I'll keep watch here. You guys go do whatever you need to do. Lu Chi, did you buy what I asked you to buy?"

Lu Chi said speechlessly, "Where am I supposed to buy these late at night? I got a few from Zhu Shulan, ones she hadn't worn. They should be about the same size."

Lu Ying clicked her tongue in amazement: "Wow, sure enough, the young master's eyes are sharp!"

Lu Chi, too lazy to respond, stretched lazily and asked, "Did you wash her clothes?"

"I rinsed it in hot water outside and it's in the washing machine right now." Lu Ying glanced at Shan Heman and said, "The poor kid threw up all over his clothes when he poured the last mouthful..."

Liu Lan babbled on and on with Ran Qingfeng for a while, then pulled Zhu Gaizhi, who shrank back in fright: "You guys can just let Lu Chi take us, I'm not going, it's freezing! Open-air hot springs are for stupid out-of-town tourists, do you think Zhouzi and I are missing a screw?"

Liu Lan pouted, glanced at Lu Chi, then glanced at him again, hesitant to speak.

It's easier if there are many people.

It wasn't much different from the swimming or skating lessons I'd occasionally had, but with only three people, even for them, it still involved something a little... well...

Lu Chi sighed speechlessly: "Let's go, I'll take you there. You can get down if you want. Did you bring everything?"

Liu Lan nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and picked up a bag, saying, "Mmm-hmm!"

"Why are you staring at me like that? Go upstairs and find a room to change your clothes! There's nowhere for you to change there, you'll freeze to death! You're a pair of lunatics!"

"Oh!"

After the two went up, Lu Ying, Zhu Gaizhi, and Zhou Zijin all cast teasing glances at Lu Chi. Lu Ying didn't say anything, just kept laughing. Zhou Zijin gave a thumbs up and uttered half a Bible in one swift motion: "One horse, two saddles! A model for us all! No need for further words! Be careful!"

Lu Chihui gave him the middle finger, calling him a "damn unfilial son" who said, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."

The mountain wind was strong, and the temperature plummeted. Liu Lan, who was as timid as a mouse, was flanked by Lu Chi on her left and Ran Qingfeng on her right. In front of her was Shen Lan, and behind her were Grey Wolf and Pretty Sheep. Her flashlight, as bright as a searchlight, swept across the dark forest, making it as bright as day. Even so, she was still not at ease, looking around nervously like a dog, looking in the left and right.

"No way, this Tangzi isn't some pretty woman, why the hell do we have to take a bath with her..." Lu Chi was already exhausted, rolling his eyes as he said, "Let me tell you, don't cry tomorrow when you're lying in the classroom like Shan Heman!"

"Mind your own business when it comes to pretty girls!" While I'm meek and submissive when it comes to demons and monsters, I'm eloquent and assertive when dealing with Lu Chi and Liu Lan, truly showcasing the style of a pure materialist female warrior: "Who told you not to open up those hot springs next to the house? If the temperature is too high, it's just a matter of digging a pool to cool it down!"

"Go ahead and dig! If you're so capable, you do it yourself!" Lu Chi said angrily, "That place is all mountainside, with over ten meters of frozen soil and rocks. You try digging one out!"

Liu Lan hummed in response, "What did you do all summer?"

"Are you deliberately picking a fight with me, timi?"

"Alright, alright, you two, stop barking like dogs. Save some warmth for yourselves, you're freezing! How much further?"

Lu Chi shone his flashlight: "Look, it's at the bottom of the slope. See that tree over there? It's covered in frost."

A pool of warm water, shrouded in thick mist, lies quietly in a hollow on the hillside, with a faint, indistinct scent of minerals wafting through the air.

The pool is not large, only a dozen square meters in total. Under the mist, the water is crystal clear, and you can see three gradually deepening slopes formed by smooth natural rocks. The deepest part is about 1.5 meters deep by the naked eye. Large and small stones dug out of the hot spring pit are piled up in a large heap where the water flows out.

Black soil and white pine trees, very simple, very...

Beautiful.

Lu Chi placed the first flashlight on the pile of stones to illuminate the pool, then turned on another one for himself. He walked to the other side and started chopping down trees: "The water temperature is a little high, be careful not to burn yourself. Get in and out slowly from the edge. Wear your hats and don't get your hair wet, or you might catch a cold!"

Ran Qingfeng didn't hesitate: "Hey, come on down, why don't you come too? Come on, buddy, why are you avoiding me?"

"Are you lusting after my good looks? You're not much to look at, but you've got pretty high and mighty ideas!" Lu Chi continued chopping down the tree with a small hand axe, piling up the fallen pine branches. "No way! I'm going to have a proper front-row seat to admire it!"

Ran Qingfeng rolled her eyes, raised her middle finger, and shifted the focus: "Why are you looking at me? Take it off! Take it off!"

"I... um..."

Liu Lan gritted her teeth, turned her back to Lu Chi, and began to rustle as she took off her clothes. Even though they were already very close, and even though she had already put on her swimsuit underneath, her face still visibly turned red all the way down to her neck.

Ran Qingfeng was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing! Have you lost your mind? Take off your pants first! Let your legs get into the water first to adjust to the temperature! Once you're comfortable, then take off your shirt and jump in!"

"ah..."
