The system had talked to her about some antidote, but she didnât understand.
She understood now that they had been poisoned and it was only the girls who had been poisoned.
Because her eyes were good, she could see small black worms wriggling under Lan Zhiâs skin.
They squirmed very quickly and she couldnât clearly see them.
âPoiâ¦â¦Poisonedâ¦â¦â Lan Zhi looked at her with a panicked look, âWhy are we poisonedâ¦â¦â
âI donât know.â Luo Qing Chen knitted her brows, âIâm the first one who had a fever. What I ate wasâ¦â¦â
Luo Qing Chen suddenly thought of Su Manâs face.
âA plum.â Luo Qing Chenâs expression changed slightly, âSu Man.â
But Su Man was a part of the expedition team and they were students from A City.
She shouldnât have a grudge with them, so why would she poison them?
Half an hour later, they went to find teacher Wang in her tent.
Teacher Wangâs face turned pale and they started trembling.
Such a strong reaction let Luo Qing Chen know that this teacher must know something.
Facts proved that she had already guessed some of the reasons.
âAi.â She gave a sigh before saying, âAlthough I donât know how Su Man is related to that female student, I thinkâ¦â¦that there should be a relationship.â
âFemale student?â Mu Li Chuan knitted his brows and said, âTeacher, did you offend someone?â
âThree years ago, I brought a group of students into a desert to take photos, but it wasnât this desert.â Wang Ying felt nervous when she recalled all of this.
She seemed reluctant to bring it up, but she had no choice but to speak at this moment.
âAnd then?â Luo Qing Chen narrowed her eyes, âCould it be that something happened?â
âUnâ¦â¦â Wang Ying gave a deep sigh before saying with a nod, âWe encountered the burning winds and one of the students couldnât leave because they had a fever.â
âBurningâ¦â¦Burning winds?â Lan Zhi trembled, âDoesnât that only happen in the depths of the desert?â
âActually, several male classmates went back to look for her, but the female students thought it was too dangerous and that we should leave quickly.â Wang Ying said with a sigh, âThat female student was a commoner while the other girls were all rich peopleâ¦â¦â
âIt really is a divide between classes.â Luo Qing Chen gave a cold snort, âSo the boys didnât find her?â
âThey found her, but she was injured because of the burning winds.â Wang Ying recalled, âShe had an intense fever and kept crying about pain and itching. The accompanying expedition team said that we had to leave immediately, so out of consideration for the safety of more students, I decided to leave.â
Lan Zhi gave a surprised gasp, âSo you left her?â
âOf course not.â Wang Ying shook her head, âBut her body was very weak, so several boys carried her. But on the third day of the return journey, she suddenly disappeared.â
âDisappeared?â Luo Qing Chen said with a confused look, âShe wasnât injured, so how could she disappear?â
âI donât know.â Wang Ying shook her head, âSince it was too dangerous, we didnât wait for her and kept moving. Thinking about it now, we should have searched around.â
âSi!â Lan Zhi touched her arm, âWhy does it feel like Iâm listening to a ghost story?â
âIn short, it was too much of a coincidence. Once you mentioned it, I remember something very strange that Su Man said to me on the first day of the expeditionâ¦â¦â
