On the third day after reaching the field study base, the already grouped students followed their respective group leaders and left the base.
The Jiao family of four went with one of the groups. The two group leaders had a good relationship with Mr. Jiao and chatted about their previous experience leading groups as they walked into the mountains and forest.
For the field trip, everyone wore long-sleeve shirts and pants suited for mountain climbing, along with sun hats. There were a lot of insects and mosquitoes in the mountain forests—don't think it isn't a big deal in the daytime; once you enter the forest, you'll understand just how formidable those mosquitoes can be. Therefore, the students all carried repellents like mosquito coils, menthol oil, and other anti-mosquito medications in their bags.
