The car is full, the road stops and goes, the road condition is not good, and the disaster is not a single line, the anchor was thrown for a while halfway, this road tossed, and finally arrived at the red stone well, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.

A broken street lamp was lit at the entrance of the station, and a few red lanterns with the words "Happy New Year" were hung near the stop sign. In the distance, the town could dimly see a few ghostly lights, but the middle part of the road was black and mushy like the wilderness, and in the distance there was the whining of the north wind, which sounded as if a ghost was screaming.

Anna had thought she would be there at six or seven o'clock at the latest. Didn't expect to arrive so late. Although the security in this small place seems to be quite good, at least during the time she has been here, she has not heard of any cases of rape and robbery, but when she encounters such a scene, she can't help but feel a little hairy.

Fortunately, there were three or four other people who came down with Anna at this stop, and they all seemed to be heading to the town. Seeing these people out of the station, they hurriedly followed.

Just now in the car, Anna's feet were frozen and stiff. As soon as she left the station at this moment, the biting cold wind almost blew her into a popsicle on the spot. Hurriedly covered his face with a scarf, lowered his head and raised his feet in the snow.

At this moment, there was a sudden snorting sound behind him, as if something was catching up. Anna turned around, borrowed the light from the dim streetlights, and recognized a large dog running towards her.

Although she knew the lightning in the base station, it didn't mean that she wasn't afraid of dogs at all, not to mention that in this case, she was taken aback and was about to scream, when she suddenly felt that the dog was a little familiar.

The dog on the other side seemed to recognize her, and when he ran close to her, he stopped and whined softly.

Anna finally recognized that the dog was Lightning, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and called its name softly.

Lightning immediately ran up to her and rubbed her leg affectionately with his neck.

Anna touched the hair on Lightning's neck and felt strange in her heart.

Listening to Lu Zhongjun's meaning that day, lightning seems to have been accompanying Lao Ding at the base station all along. Why did you suddenly go down the mountain and run here alone?

Or, the lightning didn't come down alone, and Lao Ding took it down the mountain?

Lightning turned his head and walked forward, biting Anna's pants as he went, as if trying to get Anna to follow him.

Ever since she learned that Lightning was a retired military dog, Anna had a lot of trust in him. Although it was a little late, I still couldn't suppress my curiosity, and followed it forward dozens of steps in the snow, and finally came to the edge of the railway, and finally saw a person sitting on the railroad tracks with his back to him smoking, and the red butt of the cigarette was extinguished in the dim snowy night.

The snow flakes were flying overhead, and there was silence all around, and the man seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, always like a statue.

Lightning ran up to the man and snorted twice. The man seemed to be awakened by it, put the cigarette butt in his mouth, rubbed the lightning's hairy head with his free hand, and suddenly glanced at the figure of Anna standing behind him, seemed to be slightly stunned, turned his face, and after seeing the person clearly, he immediately stood up from the railroad tracks, threw the cigarette butt into the snow, raised his foot and quickly kicked some snow to cover it.

Before this person turned his face, Anna felt that it should be Lu Zhongjun. With the help of the reflection of the snow, she could already see at least a dozen cigarette butts scattered in the snow beneath his feet.

I don't know how long he's been sitting here like this.

“…… You're back?"

He asked her this.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Anna felt that Lu Zhongjun's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"Hmm. Just arrived. Broke down on the road, and was choked enough. Anna replied.

Lu Zhongjun didn't answer, he still stood there, motionless.

His face was blurry in the snowy night, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, but Anna still felt that his gaze was cast on his face, and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed, lowered his gaze, looked at the lightning on the side and asked casually: "What about Lao Ding, why is lightning with you?"

Lu Zhongjun remained silent. Anna intuitively sensed something was wrong and looked up at him.

"Lao Ding is dead," Lu Zhongjun said in a low voice, "I went to see him two days ago, only to find that he had died alone on the top of the mountain, and it had been several days. The doctor said it was a myocardial infarction. ”

Anna was stunned.

"When I went, Lightning was lying in the snow at the foot of the mountain, licking the snow. It hasn't eaten in days. It should also know that Lao Ding is dead, and wants to call someone to go up. His voice was low and hoarse.

"Lu Zhongjun......" Anna called his name, not knowing what to say.

"Death is death, anyway, he has nothing to worry about. ”

Lu Zhongjun suddenly shouted at the lightning squatting in the snow, and the lightning immediately stood up.

"It's not early, let's go, I'll take you home. ”

Lu Zhongjun walked over to her, and very naturally buttoned his big cotton hat on her head.

The cotton cap carries his body heat. As soon as she put it on, Anna immediately felt warm. Stunned. Before he could react, he took the luggage from her hand again.

He didn't wear gloves, and she lost them on the way. As he took her duffel bag, his hand brushed over hers, and the two of them touched skin to skin, and Anna felt an unusually hot sensation, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Do you have a fever?"

"Nope. Lu Zhongjun took her duffel bag, opened his legs and walked forward, "Let's go." In the blink of an eye, he was seven or eight paces away, and the lightning followed.

Anna chased after him and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch his forehead. Lu Zhongjun stopped and tilted his head, and said, "Hey, what are you doing as a girl, do your hands and feet!"

Anna touched his forehead, and sure enough, her tentacles were hot, and she hurriedly took off the cotton hat he had just put on herself to buckle it back on his head.

He was tall, and as soon as Anna raised her arm, Lu Zhongjun took the hat and put it back on her head.

"You're obviously feverish! I'm not cold. Hurry up and put it back on!"

"Can't die. You don't just have to be a popsicle. ”

Lu Zhongjun turned around and continued to stride forward, the old suede military boots on his feet creaking in the ankle-thick snow.

"You've had a fever for a few days, have you taken any medicine?"

Anna asked again.

"Yo, when did the proud princess care about people like me?" Lu Zhongjun's tone sounded a little mocking, and it seemed to have a little frivolity.

"You're serious!" Anna grimaced.

Lu Zhongjun suddenly stopped.

He had long legs and a big stride, and Anna was not used to walking in the snow like this, and had been walking briskly after him just now, and he stopped so coldly that she was defenseless for a moment, and almost bumped into him.

"What are you doing!"

"You really care about me, huh?"

The snow reflected on his face, and he looked at her with a smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be slightly shining.

Anna was stunned.

"Who are you? ”

She snorted and walked briskly around him.

He seemed to stop where he was.

After a while, there was a creaking sound of snow behind him, and Lu Zhongjun chased after him, sighing as if talking to himself: "I had a fever yesterday, and I didn't take medicine." I haven't eaten since morning. ”

Anna stopped: "Lu Zhongjun, what are you doing, don't take medicine, don't eat, and smoke so much to blow the cold wind here, I don't think I died early, right......?"

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly remembered the photo and immediately stopped.

"It's the New Year, all of them are on vacation, I'm the only one left on the first floor of the dormitory building, and the canteen was closed yesterday, and the steamed buns I hoarded are too hard, I don't want to eat ......"

In his tone, I don't know why, Anna actually felt a hint of coquettishness. I couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"You pig, won't you heat it up?"

Unconsciously, even she didn't realize that she was talking to him so casually.

"I'm too lazy to do it alone. Lu Zhongjun said slowly, "Why don't you help me?"

"Why don't you put another piece of bread around your neck?" Anna snorted, "I deserve to starve to death!"

Lu Zhongjun suddenly stopped, raised his hand to cover his stomach, and slowly squatted down.

Lightning barked at Anna. Anna stopped.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Stomach ...... It's a little uncomfortable......" His voice sounded painful.

Anna hesitated, saw that he had been crouching there, and did not look like he was pretending, and walked back.

"I'll just say you're sick! If you don't take medicine or eat for two days with a fever, you think you're beaten with iron?"

Lu Zhongjun raised his head, "...... It's okay...... I was sick, I used to be in Lao Maozi Aviation School, and I was locked up for half a month...... I'll just take a bite of snow town......" said and grabbed the snow to put it in his mouth, but was slapped off by Anna.

"You're lightning, learn from it and eat snow!"

Hearing his name, Lightning ran to Anna's feet and looked up at her. Lu Zhongjun on the side also raised his head and looked up at her with lightning on his face.

Anna asked herself that she didn't have much of a relationship with this man, and that she didn't have to worry about him so much in the first place. But perhaps because she knew about his future that even he didn't know, and I didn't know why, she was a little stiff-hearted, hesitated, and finally said: "Okay, okay, what do you pretend to be pitiful! You go to the health center to dispense some medicine first, and I'll get you something to eat when you're done." ”

"Okay!" Lu Zhongjun jumped up from the ground, picked up her duffel bag and strode forward.

Anna was dumbfounded.

"Lu Zhongjun, does your stomach hurt?"

"It still hurts," Lu Zhongjun turned around and smiled at her, "but I can bear it." I've had stitches in my legs, so it's a little painful. ”

"Then why couldn't you bear it just now......"

Anna muttered, seeing his back getting farther and farther away, Lightning ran and turned back to call at herself, and chased after him.
