Chapter 12 Where you can see the aurora

As soon as Lin Xiangwan left the airport, the cold air immediately surrounded her, she shivered, and tightly pulled the hem of her down jacket, trying in vain to prevent the cold wind from getting into the hem of her clothes.

Looking around, the passengers who went out of the airport with her were very experienced in wrapping themselves in the shape of bears, and their faces were tightly wrapped in hats and scarves, revealing only a pair of eyes.

She was the only one, with a thick down jacket on her body, but her long hair fluttering in the wind, standing in a group of tall foreigners, looking like a lost little match girl.

After waiting for half an hour at the taxi stand, it was Lin Xiangwan's turn to take the car, her hands and feet were numb from the cold, and she could barely take a step when she got into the car.

The car was speeding on the snow-covered road, and the old driver asked Lin Xiangwan in French English why he chose to come to Greenland at such a bad time.

"It's not the coldest season of the year, but because of the cold wave, the island has entered winter early. My dear, you're going to freeze to death if you wear too little. ”

Greenland is the largest and coldest island in the world, with most of the territory within the Arctic Circle and a cold climate all year round, so few tourists visit the island this winter, except for a few frenzied polar travel enthusiasts and photographers.

"Thank you, please take me to the nearest mall. Lin Xiangwan didn't answer the old man's words, the reason why she was here was just because of a phone call.

Two days ago, an agent from a travel agency she knew called her and asked if she had planned to go to Greenland to see the Northern Lights with her loved ones before winter arrived.

Yes, Aurora.

Chu Di had promised her that one day, when they were no longer trapped by life, they would take her around the world.

Over the years, Lin Xiangwan has been trapped at home because of his children, and traveling around the world has become a distant but always existing Chu Xiang until the beginning of this year.

She secretly carried Chu Di on her back, and booked a trip to see the aurora on Chu Di's birthday with a travel agency, and paid the full amount.

Later, the chaos of the past six months made her completely forget this plan.

Until two days ago.

There are two choices in front of Lin Xiangwan, return this travel plan, or take advantage of the fact that the coldest season has not yet arrived, and embark on the trip alone.

It didn't take her a second to make a decision.

There are so many times in life that it is too late, too late, and it has been lost.

Since Chu Di can't fulfill her dream with her, then, let her do it herself.

It is said that those who can see the Northern Lights are blessed by God.

But now, Lin Xiangwan no longer knows what her happiness is, the person she is pursuing, the person she trusts who can bring her happiness, but she slapped her heavily.

What else in this world can she believe in?

The car stopped in front of a humble shop, Lin Xiangwan paid the fare, put his schoolbag on his shoulder, and quickly rushed into the wind and snow.

She didn't bring too much luggage, because the time was urgent, and she didn't want to alarm Ye Yasheng and Ye Nan, so she almost didn't bring any extra things, only brought some necessary toiletries and a change of clothes and went out.

Because of the perennial ice, poor transportation, and the scarcity of supplies on the island, the store displays ancient heavy cotton clothes, as well as snow boots made of elk skin, and does not want to be frozen into ice sculptures during the trip, Lin Xiangwan did not hesitate to spend money to buy everything he needed.

Put on a snow shirt for wilderness survival on top of the down jacket, and wrap the scarf around the face layer by layer, until like the locals, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and standing in the wind and snow again, Lin Xiangwan feels invincible.

The wind and snow outside began to increase at some point, and the snow soon accumulated to Lin Xiangwan's calf, and she walked with difficulty and walked forward in the wind and snow.

After an operation, her body was still extremely weak, and after walking for a long time, she felt a sweet smell in her mouth, she stopped, raised her head, the sky was dark, there was no rising and twilight, no stars and no moon, nothing, only chaos, as if in ancient times, when the heavens and the earth were not opened.

Because it has entered the polar night period, it is dark on the island at all times. Lin Xiangwan rested for a while in the wind and snow and continued to move forward.

Next to the shop, there is a B&B, an elderly woman who runs this small family of travelers, and the old lady brings Lin Xiangwan to her room, opens the door, and the room is unexpectedly warm.

Lin Xiangwan thanked the old lady and closed the door.

There was a burning fireplace in the room, the burning wood beeped in the fireplace, and the orange light from the hearth reflected on Lin Xiangwan's face, adding a touch of color to her pale cheeks.

She sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace with a soft and thick eiderdown quilt, staring at the fire in a daze.

At this moment, what is Ye Nan doing? She is not worried about Ye Nan's life, Aunt Zhang will take good care of him.

She was not a competent mother, and when something happened, she didn't want to face it, but left her children and fled here.

But she really didn't know how to face it, Chu Di brought her far more pain than she thought.

She couldn't even remember his name, she felt like a knife cut her chest.

Even if she was shot in the chest, she never hurt like this, but today, this man has made her really realize what life is better than death.

The mobile phone was turned into Do Not Disturb mode by Lin Xiangwan, but the breathing lights that appeared from time to time reminded her that someone was frantically looking for her.

Just let her be willful again, she's been strong for so long, she's really tired.

was really tired, Lin Xiangwan curled his body into a ball, like a small animal that was wet in the rain and had nowhere to hide, leaning against the fire, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, the fire was already out.

The fireplace was black, like a wide open mouth.

Lin Xiangwan got up from the ground, opened the curtains and looked out, it was still dark outside, although it was already eight o'clock in the morning, but thanks to the polar night, it looked no different from the early hours of the morning.

Even if there was no fire, the room was very warm, and the old lady brought breakfast, coarse grain black bread, and a large box of butter, and fried bacon eggs that were slightly yellow on both sides.

Although this morning is not the most abundant, it is enough to fill the stomach and provide the calories that Lin Xiangwan needs in the morning.

Armed with all his arms, Lin Xiangwan resolutely opened the door and threw himself into the wind and snow.

The old lady was very kind to lend her old jeep to Lin Xiangwan, although the car was some years old, but it was well maintained, and the inside of the carriage was very clean and tidy.

Lin Xiangwan spread the map given by the old lady to the co-pilot's position, twisted the car key, and the old jeep let out an angry roar and rushed out of the garage with full horsepower.

The map is written in Danish, although the best place to see the aurora is clearly marked, but because of language problems, Lin Xiangwan can't understand a word, even guessing, after driving for a while, a huge blue glacier appears at the end of the road.

She was about to get out of the car to survey the terrain, but as soon as the car door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in with snow flakes, Lin Xiangwan was defenseless, and was so excited by the cold that she coughed loudly.

While coughing, she got out of the car, and the surroundings were empty, except for the wind and snow, she seemed to be the only one left in the sky and on the ground.

She walked slowly through the snow, and the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The feeling under your feet is very strange, not the usual solidity of land, but a certain brittleness, as if walking on a piece of glass.

Lin Xiangwan squatted down, stroked the snow next to her feet with her hands, and when the ground was exposed, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and took a few steps back.

At some point, she actually went to sea.

Because the temperature is so low, the sea here is often frozen in ice, but because it is early winter, the sea surface is not very solid, and if you walk on it, you can hear the creaking sound if you listen carefully.

Lin Xiangwan was a little scared, anyone would feel scared in this situation, the ice on the sea was not thick, if he continued to walk, if he didn't step on it well, he might fall into the ice hole.

But don't go down......

In the distance, the glacier lay above the sea like a silent monster, and in the wind and snow, she seemed to hear a deep voice calling to her.

It said, "Come, Lin Xiangwan, come here......"

Lin Xiangwan was still hesitating, she suddenly thought that Ye Nan had installed GPS global positioning system in her mobile phone, as well as Google Map or something, but she didn't know if her mobile phone had a signal.

Taking off the bulky gloves like bear paws, Lin Xiangwan took out her mobile phone, and the moment she took out her mobile phone, the ringtone suddenly rang.

Lin Xiangwan's hands were frozen, and he picked up the phone without paying attention.

The man's voice, which had lost his coolness, rang on the other side of the phone, "Lin Xiangwan, where the hell have you gone?!"

It's Chu Di.

Lin Xiangwan's heart was sour, and then it hurt again.

"Where am I, do I have anything to do with you? Mr. Chu?"

She had already learned from the doctor that it was Ye Yasheng who signed the operation notice for her at that time, not Chu Di, and Chu Di didn't even come to the hospital.

Since he didn't even care about her life and death, why did he make a fake look and ask her where she was as if he cared about her very much.

Chu Di's voice paused, and then said, "I don't care where you are, go home for me immediately!"

Through the phone signal so far away, Lin Xiangwan could still hear his anxiety, but this anxiety made her feel ridiculous and hateful, he didn't want her anymore, why couldn't he stay away from her, why did he interfere in her life, let her think that he still cared about her, so that she couldn't get rid of him and forget him?!

"Go home? Which is my home? Didn't you ruin my home a long time ago? You don't even want children, what did I do wrong to make you so ruthless?!"
