Chapter 2: Slightly Drunk (2)
After the water was drained, Tian Xin checked it so-so, and felt that there was no problem with holding it for a few hours, thinking that it would not be a big deal to go to Zhong Sheng first, and then come back to strengthen the waterproof plastic film, so he casually put on the iron door of the archaeological site and went to the laboratory.
After arriving at the laboratory, Zhong Sheng really handed her a few printed archaeological reports, arranged for her to sit in a corner of the laboratory, and went to work on her own.
Zhong Sheng was already serious and said little when he was working, Tian Xin roughly scanned the report, and it was indeed very professional, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he began to proofread it seriously.
The two of them buried themselves in work, but it was unusually quiet, only the spring thunder outside the window was faint, and the wind and rain were getting louder.
Tian Xin watched intently, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the distant mountains, and she was stunned and shook her mind.
Zhong Sheng, who was on the other side, seemed to remember something, frowned and stood up, pushed open the window to look outside, and asked Tian Xin in a deep voice: "When you came out, was the door of the construction site closed?"
Tian Xin's heart skipped a beat, his face changed and changed, and he was hesitant, saying that it was closed for a while, and saying that he had forgotten it.
When Zhong Sheng saw her like this, his face instantly darkened, and he took an umbrella and walked out.
When Tian Xin saw him leaving, his body immediately became half cold, and he also knew that he had made a mistake, and he didn't have time to get the rain gear, so he ran out in a hurry.
When she arrived at the construction site, she saw that the iron door was half-open and half-hidden, and the wind was constantly pouring into it with rain, Tian Xin couldn't help but soften her feet, and her heart was pounding, and she saw Zhong Sheng take the umbrella and stride in, she hurriedly followed.
Who knew that Zhong Sheng walked a few steps, but slowly stopped. The construction site was full of moisture and fog, Tian Xin's clothes were stained with rain, so he didn't feel that standing behind Zhong Sheng at this time, he felt that his wet clothes were lying on his body, and he was uncomfortable.
"Teacher Zhong, I ......," Tian Xin said timidly.
"Why are you here?" Zhong Sheng suddenly interrupted Tian Xin's words, but he obviously didn't say this to her, Tian Xin followed Zhong Sheng's line of sight, and saw a tall thin figure with his back to them, wearing a wide vinyl raincoat, and the rubber shoes on his feet were deep in the muddy water, pulling the waterproof plastic film covering the probe.
Wen Xiaoman stood up straight, his hands wearing plastic gloves were inconvenient to wipe sweat, so he raised his elbows, wiped the rain on his forehead at will, looked back and saw Zhong Sheng and Tian Xin, and said with a smile: "What are you still standing for, come over and take a hand, Tian Xin and I have changed shifts, today I will do waterproof ......"
Zhong Sheng listened, turned his head and glanced at Tian Xin, Tian Xin's face turned pale, and muttered, "Hey, how did I forget about the shift change......"
Zhong Sheng didn't care much, so he hurriedly went up to help, and after a period of hurry, he barely managed to clean up.
The archaeological site is full of miscellaneous soil, and now that the rain is overflowing, it is muddy everywhere, and the three people seem to have rolled out of the mud, and as soon as the cold wind blows, Tian Xin can't help but sneeze several times.
Wen Xiaoman was afraid that she would freeze out, so he hurriedly urged her to go back and change her clothes.
Tian Xin squirmed for a long time, but he couldn't stand the cold, and turned around step by step.
Zhong Sheng was still bowing his head and doing the finishing work, his brows were locked tightly, his face was serious, he dragged the plastic sheet with one hand, turned around and wanted the tool to be fixed, and suddenly someone next to him handed it in time, he looked up and found that it was Wen Xiaoman, I don't know how, his heart was on fire, and he choked: "You are kind to her." ”
"Huh?" Zhong Sheng said suddenly, Wen Xiaoman didn't hear clearly, and looked at him suspiciously.
"It's obvious that she is derelict in her duties, why do you cover it up for her?" Zhong Sheng is the most unaccustomed to people who don't do well in internal affairs on weekdays, Tian Xin is a little girl, he is inconvenient to have a seizure, and seeing Wen Xiaoman deliberately lying for her to play sloppy, his anger is even more weak, although he is suppressing his emotions at this time, he is inevitably ruthless in and out of words.
When Wen Xiaoman heard him say this, he suddenly felt a little at a loss, and stood beside him in a daze, not knowing what to do. In fact, Wen Xiaoman didn't have much experience in the waterproofing work of the archaeological site, and the team didn't arrange for her to participate in the waterproofing.
As soon as Zhong Sheng spoke, he knew that the words were serious, seeing that Wen Xiaoman's face was a little wrong, the tiredness in his heart became heavier and heavier, he rubbed his temples and sighed: "I'm not blaming you, Tian Xin, this little girl's heart is too floating, you are so used to her, what good is it for her?"
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth twitched and stared at Zhong Sheng for a long time, Zhong Sheng didn't know what she meant, blinked, and looked up at her.
Wen Xiaoman saw that he was confused, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and finally knew why Zhong Sheng had never been in love, his eyes, I'm afraid he was blind, tsk, the falling flowers were intentional, the flowing water was ruthless, and he really deserved to be a straight man without a partner. The girl Huaichun is most afraid of losing face in front of her sweetheart, Tian Xin is young and has always been reckless, Wen Xiaoman is not at ease, and took advantage of the gap between lunch and took a look on the way, but it happened that a few people bumped into each other.
"Seeing that Tian Xin's face turned white with fright just now, and he also learned a lesson, why are you aggressive, you still want to scold people and cry?"
Zhong Sheng didn't care, but he didn't want to argue with Wen Xiaoman, so he fixed the plastic film in his hand before slowly standing up.
After a while, he said lightly: "I think you are very strange, you are very good to everyone, and everyone thinks you are very good, but no one can communicate with you." You...... Don't you have any friends either?"
He said this without shock, but Wen Xiaoman stood in place in a daze, unspeakable.
Don't you have any friends either?
Don't you have any friends?
Isn't Li Yuan your friend, isn't Tian Xin my friend.
No, we don't have any friends.
There are so many people on this planet, but there is no one who doesn't feel lonely.
Everyone feels that others do not understand them, and they feel that their souls are extremely lonely.
But there is a group of people who understand all the people in this world, who see through every soul, but who cannot find a belonging.
Mortals rely on friends and happy gatherings to dilute the deep loneliness that lingers around them.
And they are not alone, all the time.
Perhaps, they only have each other.
After a moment's shock, Zhong Sheng was already far away.
Wen Xiaoman hesitated a few steps in place, thought about it, and hurriedly followed.
More than a dozen square probes were excavated at the archaeological site, each of which was connected by partition beams for walking and observation. The partition beam is an earthen wall set aside during the excavation, which is fully one meter wide and is completely made of soil layers, although reinforcement measures have been taken, but in the weather conditions at this time, it is more slippery and difficult to walk.
Wen Xiaoman walked very carefully, so he was naturally very slow. At a casual glance, she found that a lot of rainwater had accumulated in the center of the waterproof membrane covered by one of the probes, and the rain was so heavy that the plastic film fell downward.
Wen Xiaoman was a little anxious, walked a few steps quickly, and when he reached the side of the exploration, he saw that one corner of the plastic film had been loosened. If it is not fixed, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire plastic film will be trapped in the exploration square. If the rain is allowed to pour into the exploration area, no matter what damage is caused to the ruins, it will be irreversible.
"Zhong Sheng, look at this ......"
Wen Xiaoman turned around and shouted, but found that Zhong Sheng was busy with other things on his back, and he didn't know if he heard it.
At this moment, the weight of the plastic film seems to have reached a critical point, and it is slowly sliding towards the center.
"Zhong Sheng, come here. ”
Too late, she bit her lip and decided to give it a try herself.
She crouched on the bulkhead and leaned forward, trying to hold on to the film that was slipping out.
No, I can't reach it.
Wen Xiaoman took a deep breath, his toes were forceful, his body leaned forward violently, his five fingers opened, and stretched out towards the corner of the plastic film.
Almost, just a little.
She pressed one hand on the edge of the partition beam, leaning out even more, and at this moment, she suddenly heard Zhong Sheng behind her shouting:
"Be careful!"
With this short, low shout, time seemed to be slowed down by a double speed. Wen Xiaoman looked back in confusion, the broken hair on his forehead crossed his ears, and his eyes were Zhong Sheng's anxious eyes and his unconsciously outstretched hands.
In an instant, Wen Xiaoman felt that the dirt under his feet changed from solid to soft, and fell apart in an instant.
"Ahh
Time seemed to have been pressed on the accelerator button again, and she first lost her balance and planted herself in the exploration square. Almost instinctively, she grabbed the waterproof plastic film hanging in the air, but how could the plastic film withstand her weight, she pulled it violently, and the stagnant water rushed towards her in an instant.
She closed her eyes in despair, letting the splash of water carry her down, and then slamming down to the bottom of the probe.
Zhong Sheng, who witnessed the whole process, reacted almost immediately, he took a few steps around the collapsed position, came to the opposite side of the probe, lay on the partition beam with his whole body, and looked into the probe.
He was familiar with this scout, and he had already dug two or three meters deep before the stoppage, a height of one floor, and he was really afraid of any accidents.
After a glance, he felt a little comforted in his heart. There is stagnant water in the exploration square, the water is not deep, but it can be seen that the sand at the bottom is soaked into mud.
When Wen Xiaoman fell down just now, he pulled a handful of plastic film, so that there was a buffer, and the fall was not too heavy. She was now lying panting in a puddle of mud at the bottom of the probe.
After a burst of tinnitus, she gradually heard someone shouting to her: "Wen Xiaoman, how are you?"
Oh, it's Zhong Sheng.
Wen Xiaoman raised his hand and beckoned in the air, indicating that he was not dead, but opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.
Immediately afterward, she heard Zhong Sheng call calmly but hurriedly: "Hello, 120 emergency center, someone from Fengli Distillery fell into Tanfang...... Well, fell into the dirt pit. Yes, more than two meters deep, and conscious. Well, well, the address here is ......"
Her head was a little dizzy, she rubbed it, and in a daze, she heard Zhong Sheng make a few phone calls. Her eyelids were so heavy, she struggled a few times, but after all, she couldn't match her physical instinct and fainted.
When she was conscious again, Wen Xiaoman felt warm fingers brushing the hair on her forehead and falling between her eyebrows, a little itchy.
"Are you alright?"
