The journey back took about forty minutes.
Even carrying someone, Jiu Zhou and Peng Yuqiu's pace was faster than the girls moving back.
The four of them barely talked on the way.
Tang Shi and Liang Zhiqiong were too tired; almost as soon as they were carried, they couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, not waking up at all, sleeping soundly.
When they returned to the campsite, Mu Cheng was at the entrance with Wei Nan waiting for them.
"Xiaoliang! Tang Shi!"
Mu Cheng waved to them.
Upon hearing the shout, Liang Zhiqiong and Tang Shi woke up from their slumber.
Liang Zhiqiong yawned, then sluggishly opened her eyes. In a haze of fatigue and sleepiness, she looked to her left and right for quite a while before suddenly realizing—she was on Peng Yuqiu's back.
"We're here?" She heard her own voice floating in the air, and after a pause, she emphasized, "Put me down."
This action could be a classic example of "turning your back on someone."
