Xu An'an remembered the beautiful flowers that Su Xiaoyue had mentioned. Arching her small body, she groped the ground and slowly crawled down bit by bit.
Xu An'an's little body crawled down more than a meter. Apart from maple trees, there were no beautiful flowers at all.
Xu An'an murmured, "Where are the flowers? Teacher Su can't be joking, right?"
The sweat on her forehead dampened her baby hair. Xu An'an was scared and didn't dare to go any further.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead, smearing the dirt on her hands onto her face. She was about to climb back up, but every time she took a step up, the soil under her feet would slide down, making her body sway unsteadily. She just couldn't climb up.
"I can't get up..."
Xu An'an was a bit scared. She looked up at the height from the ground again and swallowed nervously.
There were so many stones. If she fell, she would definitely break her head!
Xu An'an wanted to call for help, but this place was too far from their camp. And she was worried that Teacher Wang would scold her for running out secretly, so she just wanted to save herself.
But the more she climbed up, the faster she slipped. Finally, her small body was like an out - of - control ball, and she flipped backward.
"Watch out!"
Teacher Wang, who had caught up and witnessed this thrilling scene, shouted. Without thinking, she rushed forward and tightly protected Xu An'an in her arms, and they rolled down the slope together.
At this time, Su Xiaoyue, who had rushed around from afar, was stunned. She originally wanted to seize the opportunity to save Xu An'an. Then, as Xu An'an's savior, even if the principal wanted to fire her, she would have to think twice.
But something went wrong. Teacher Wang had snatched the chance to save Xu An'an!
Teacher Wang didn't know how many stones she had blocked for Xu An'an before they rolled to the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately, her head hit a huge rock, and blood was gushing out. The blood flowed all over the place along the path they had slid down.
Xu An'an's nose twitched slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. At this moment, all her prejudice and fear towards Teacher Wang vanished.
Xu An'an crawled out of Teacher Wang's arms and covered Teacher Wang's back of the head with her small hands, as if this could stop the blood from flowing.
"Teacher Wang, I'm sorry. It's all my fault..." Xu An'an was apologizing to someone other than Xu Qingqing for the first time.
"I'm okay. Are you hurt?" Teacher Wang managed to squeeze out a smile. She immediately checked Xu An'an's body up and down. Only when she found that Xu An'an was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wuwuwu..." Xu An'an couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Like a frightened little rabbit, her dirty little face was really pitiful.
"Teacher Wang, I was wrong..."
"Don't cry. Teacher doesn't blame you." Teacher Wang gently wiped the tears off Xu An'an's face and took out her phone to make a call.
At this time, the principal was counting the number of students. When she found that both Xu An'an and Teacher Wang were missing and was about to look for them carefully, she received a call from Teacher Wang.
"What? You said Xu An'an fell off the mountain!"
The principal was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue. She even broke out in a sweat in the sunlight.
She was Lu Chuanbai's precious daughter. She must not have any accidents!
When Xu Yiyi heard that his younger sister had fallen off the mountain, he lost all interest in taking pictures. His little face was full of panic. He ran to the principal and asked, "Mr. Principal, what's wrong with my sister! Where is she!"
The principal squatted down, put her hand on Xu Yiyi's shoulder, and comforted him, "Yiyi, don't be in a hurry. Teacher Wang said your sister is okay. I'll go find them right now."
After saying that, the principal asked the other teachers to comfort the frightened students and then rushed to find Teacher Wang and Xu An'an.
When the principal saw the glaring blood on the slope and Xu An'an crying in Teacher Wang's arms, her heart was in her throat.
She rushed up and checked Xu An'an from head to toe. Only when she was sure that Xu An'an was okay did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Teacher Wang, you're injured!" The principal looked at the still - bleeding back of Teacher Wang's head. "You need to go to the hospital for bandaging right away!"
"I'm okay."
Teacher Wang's face had turned extremely pale due to excessive blood loss. She smiled weakly and wanted to hand Xu An'an in her arms to the principal, but found that Xu An'an was clutching her clothes tightly, with tears in her eyes.
"Teacher Wang, I'm sorry."
"An'an, I'm okay."
"An'an, be good. Let go first. Teacher Wang still needs to get bandaged." The principal gently coaxed Xu An'an, and only then did Xu An'an let go.
The principal asked the other teachers to take Xu An'an up the hill, and then sent Teacher Wang to the infirmary at the scenic spot to bandage her head.
Looking at Teacher Wang with her head wrapped tightly in gauze, the principal couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Wang, what exactly happened?"
Just thinking about it now, she still felt terrified. This was Lu Chuanbai's precious daughter. If anything had happened to her during the autumn outing, she definitely couldn't afford to compensate.
Moreover, since the child had fallen, they must give an explanation to the parents.
"Principal, if I tell you, please don't criticize An'an. She already knows she was wrong." Teacher Wang exhorted.
"Okay, I definitely won't criticize her!" The principal nodded, thinking to herself that it would be good if Lu Chuanbai didn't criticize her. She didn't dare to add fuel to the fire!
"I was just collecting garbage. I saw An'an suddenly run out of the camp, so I was a bit worried about her and chased after her... I didn't expect to see her roll down the slope..."
"Just like that?" The principal was puzzled. "Why would An'an run out of the camp for no reason? She's not a naughty and reckless child."
During the autumn outing, Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an were the students that the teachers were most at ease with. They didn't run around or cause trouble, and they were self - reliant.
Hearing the principal's suspicion, Teacher Wang fell into deep thought, carefully recalling the cause and effect: "I remember... at that time, Teacher Su mentioned some flowers in front of An'an..."
"Flowers?" The principal's face turned a bit ugly. Just as she was about to ask in detail, she heard a cough from outside the door.
Su Xiaoyue had a fake smile on her face. Looking at the two people in the infirmary, if someone was closer to her, they could hear her heart pounding due to the shock.
She had just heard Teacher Wang mention her name. She didn't expect that she had carelessly exposed herself!
"Teacher Wang, is your injury okay?" Su Xiaoyue asked with a smile.
"I'm okay."
"That's good. Kids just like to run around during autumn outings. Fortunately, she didn't fall too seriously." Su Xiaoyue shifted all the blame onto Xu An'an for running around.
"An'an is always so reckless. As her homeroom teacher, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Hearing Su Xiaoyue still claiming to be the kindergarten's homeroom teacher, the principal mercilessly exposed her and issued an order to leave.
"Teacher Su, you'll resign after the autumn outing. There's no need for you to apologize on Xu An'an's behalf. Teacher Wang still needs to rest. You can go back first."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything." Su Xiaoyue turned around and left, resenting Teacher Wang for ruining her good deed in her heart.
