They only brought a small amount of water with them, not even any food. Moreover, this place had not been developed and was equivalent to a barren mountain. At night, there would inevitably be snakes, insects, rats and ants, and maybe even wild beasts.

The key point is that even if Li Xiaoxiao could walk now, she couldn't walk far.

Jun Jiuge also realized this problem and suggested: "I'll go find the way, you stay here with her."

"Are you okay alone?" Qiao Xi asked worriedly.

Jun Jiuge gestured to her, "Take out your phone."

Qiao Xi cooperated and took out her cell phone again.

After Jun Jiuge confirmed the time, he said, "It's ten o'clock in the morning. I will be back before twelve o'clock."

Although she didn't have her phone with her, she did wear a watch.

After considering it, Qiao Xi felt that her plan was feasible. "Okay, then be careful."

"Yeah." Jun Jiuge nodded and set off.

Li Xiaoxiao then warned her, "Master Jiu, you must be careful and come back to us."

"Yeah." Jun Jiuge responded lightly and walked further away.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and the class teacher and others were still waiting outside for Qiao Xi, Li Xiaoxiao and the others, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Su Qingyao looked at the time and asked the class teacher with some worry: "Class teacher, haven't Qiao Xi and the others come back yet?"

"No." The class teacher has confirmed it.

She looked in the direction Qiao Xi and the others had left, muttering, "Didn't we tell them not to go too deep and come back early?"

"Teacher, do you want to go look for them?" Su Qingyao asked.

The class teacher gestured to her and said, "Call them."

"I called, but couldn't get through." Su Qingyao had already called before looking for the class teacher.

The class teacher took out his cell phone and looked at it and said, "There is a signal here."

"Maybe there is no signal inside." Su Qingyao guessed for the second time.

The class teacher was at a loss for a moment, but in fact only two hours had passed. Maybe they thought picking mushrooms was fun and wanted to pick more.

She tried not to think of the worst, "Let's wait a little longer."

Nearly another hour passed, and the other students also noticed that Qiao Xi and the others had not returned yet. Su Qingyao said to the homeroom teacher with some concern, "Teacher, Qiao Xi and the others haven't returned yet."

Other students speculated, "Could they be lost?"

"Teacher, do you want to go look for them?" Su Qingyao asked.

But one of the students immediately refused, saying, "What if we go looking for them and get lost ourselves?"

"Let's contact the staff here." A sensible classmate made this suggestion.

The class teacher thought it was feasible, so he said to Su Qingyao, "Okay, class monitor, you go make the contact."

"Everyone else, stay where you are and don't run around."

As soon as Su Qingyao left, someone saw Qi Jinzhou walking towards her.

"Qi Jinzhou is here!" Someone in the crowd shouted first.

All eyes instantly turned to Qi Jinzhou.

When the class teacher saw that it was him, he was so worried that he said, "Mr. Qi?"

"Where is my wife?" Qi Jinzhou did not see Qiao Xi in the crowd.

While the class teacher was still thinking about what to say, Su Qingyao had already turned back and told Qi Jinzhou the truth: "Qiao Xi, Jun Jiuge, and Li Xiaoxiao went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and haven't returned yet."

"In the mountains?" Qi Jincheng's face darkened instantly.

Su Qingyao pointed to the place where they had just entered the mountain and said, "That's where we came in."

Except for the open area here, there are warning signs outside almost all the unopened areas saying "No Entry".

"When did they go?" Qi Jincheng asked anxiously.

Su Qingyao said with certainty: "They have been gone for more than three hours."

Qi Jincheng immediately took out his cell phone to contact Qiao Xi, but the phone was temporarily unreachable.

"Who told them to do that?" Qi Jincheng asked with great forbearance.

The entire class looked straight at the homeroom teacher, who humbly said, "This is one of the tasks assigned by the school."

"School?" Qi Jincheng gritted his teeth in anger. "They lied with their eyes open, are you blind too?"

With such big words written there, she actually dared them to go deep into the forest to pick mushrooms?!

The class teacher was so shocked by Qi Jincheng's words that he shouldn't have said. It took him a while to react and urged Su Qingyao, "Class monitor, what are you still doing here? Go contact the staff."

"He Fan, call the police." Qi Jincheng said as he walked towards where they entered.

He Fan knew that he wanted to find someone, and immediately understood and said, "President, I will go with you to find the wife."

Qi Jincheng also instructed him, "Call someone over here. If there's a signal, I'll send you the location at any time."

"President, you're going alone..." He Fan was worried about him going alone, but was interrupted by Qi Jincheng, "Call the police if you need to, find someone if you need to, hurry up!"

"Yes." He Fan didn't dare to have any more objections.

Seeing Qi Jincheng preparing to go find someone on his own, the class teacher suddenly remembered to hand the rescue bag to Qi Jincheng, "Mr. Qi, this is the rescue bag. It contains some supplies and a compass."

Qi Jincheng took it without saying anything, but his cold and serious expression hinted at the intentions of everyone present.

If anything happens to Qiao Xi, not only them, but the whole school will suffer!

The class teacher was regretting it so much now. How could she be so foolish as to let Qiao Xi go to the mountains to pick mushrooms? She should have stopped him no matter what she said.

In the woods, Qiao Xi looked at the time and it was almost two o'clock.

For her own reasons, Li Xiaoxiao didn't dare to ask the time, but she could feel that it must have passed the time they agreed on.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaoxiao asked weakly, "Qiao Xi, why hasn't Master Jiu come back yet?"

Qiao Xi firmly believed: "She will definitely come back to find us once she finds the way."

"Could she be lost too?" Li Xiaoxiao asked cautiously. She didn't want to ask this, but she really...

In this environment, it was hard for her not to be anxious.

Qiao Xi was unsure, she believed that Jiu Ye was a man of his word, so there was only one possibility for him not to come back at this time.

She must have met with an accident.

If that's the case, they have to find a way out themselves and find someone to rescue Jiu Ye.

But she didn't dare to say that in front of Li Xiaoxiao. "No."

"It's already past twelve o'clock, and she hasn't come back yet."

Qiao Xi also felt that she couldn't wait any longer, "Xiaoxiao, I'll go find her."

"I'll go with you." Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay here alone. She held Qiao Xi's hand and said, "I don't want to stay here alone. I'll go crazy."

At this point, Qiao Xi had no choice but to express her guess, "Master Jiu is not a man who goes back on his word. She hasn't come back at this time, and I'm worried that she has met with an accident."
