In the early eighties, an unprecedented snowstorm swept in without warning. The Songshan Forest Farm was covered with snow and it was difficult to move an inch, so the expansion of the wood processing scale was delayed again, and the entire forest farm had to close production because of the coming of the snowstorm, and turned to enter the rest period in advance.

Zhou Han, who graduated from college and was assigned to work here for less than two years, was laboriously carrying his roommate's quilt to his bed. But Zhou Han knew that even if he was fully prepared to keep warm, the temperature of this forest farm in winter was always maintained at a cold state of more than ten degrees below zero, and if he was not careful, his naked/exposed skin would get frostbite in the air.

It's rare to have a few days of rest, and then catch up with a few roommates who live with you, who should go home, who should go home, who should go out of the house, and the rare silence in the small room.

“…… What the hell place. Zhou Han thought that he had spent so much hard work to get out of graduation, who knew that because his family did not have support, the originally scheduled opportunity to work in the provincial capital was in vain.

When I first learned that I had to work as an accountant in this broken forest farm in the northeast, thousands of miles away from my hometown, I really wanted to burn all the books I had read all these years.

Scold! If you knew this, you might as well go to the sea with your friends to do business as soon as possible! But now Zhou Han has missed the invitation of that friend, and he has spent all the money of the Zhou family on studying, so the only way to survive now is to stay in the dormitory of the forest farm to see if there is any chance to leave.

The hard work in the forest farm is not done by the college students who live in the dormitory, so there is no hope for the future. Most of the time, Zhou Han is quite idle. The most idle is the rest period of the forest farm, and it often happens that he is the only one left in the entire forest farm except for the forest guard. Because Zhou Han felt sorry for the expensive travel expenses. So every time he went home in the past two years, he was careful to calculate, and he was reluctant to take a bus ticket back to his hometown thousands of miles away until the Spring Festival came.

At noon on this day, Zhou Han had just eaten lunch and was just about to rest on the kang, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door of the dormitory.

There seemed to be more than one person outside, knocking on the door and shouting something.

"I'm sick, what can I do. It's like urging life......" Zhou Han muttered, although reluctantly, but in the end he reluctantly left the warm bed. Get out of bed and look for your shoes, then slowly tidy up your clothes and open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw three lumberjacks standing anxiously at the door, who were usually familiar with him.

"Oh no, no, no! Accountant Zhou, something big has happened! ”

One of the bearded men was red-faced and red-eared. Dancing hand to hand and take the lead in saying: "Now the person in charge of the forest farm is not there." You're the only college student here, help us come up with ideas, alas! We really don't know what to do! …… You don't know, this morning we were going down the mountain to go home, halfway through Pine Forest Lake, you know what we saw! This, uh, this ......"

Zhou Han frowned: "What, this, this." Tell me clearly, what's going on? ”

"Is this the white-faced kid who lives with you?" They trembled and handed Zhou Han a dark blue striped glove stained with crushed snow and a slightly small and delicate men's satchel.

Zhou Han looked at the familiar object. Suddenly, his heart couldn't stop "chuckling", and he hesitated for a few seconds before taking it over for further confirmation. "That's right, it's his ......"

It's true that the thing belongs to the roommates, but why is it in their hands? Zhou Han remembered that his roommate had packed his bags and went home a week ago on the third day after the heavy snow closed the mountain. His roommate is a rich kid with a background, and he can not be worthy of this mountainous land, and it is all because he is angry with his parents, so when his roommate packed all his luggage and walked out of the door, Zhou Han subconsciously felt that he might not come back after he went......

But no matter what, such a fashionable men's shoulder bag that is only sold in this big city that is beloved by your roommate, as well as wool gloves that are essential for cold weather, shouldn't you leave your body? Although the roommate is usually extravagant, he is not a person who discards things at will.

Zhou Hanhu looked at the three lumberjacks at the door suspiciously, and asked carefully, "Where did the things come from?" ”

In fact, the three of them were already dumbfounded when they heard Zhou Han confirm that the item was his roommate, so when Zhou Han asked them, no one came back to their senses for a long time.

Zhou Han asked again.

"Oooh...... Something, alas! We picked up something on our way down the mountain this morning. ”

They weren't lying, and this morning the three of them were going down the mountain together to get a ride to the county seat, but who knew that one of them slipped under his feet halfway and rolled out of the distance, just when he was complaining and getting up, he accidentally saw a corner of the snowdrift. I thought I had found a treasure and dug deeper, but I dug out something familiar!

When Zhou Han heard this, his face suddenly changed, "I picked it up!" ”

The road down the mountain from the forest farm is already rough, and the heavy snow covers the mountain, making the descent even more difficult. If it weren't for his arrogant and dissuaded roommate who insisted on leaving at that time, he wouldn't be alone.

But in the end, he still went down the mountain alone, and no one knew whether it was safe to go down the mountain at that time!

"Oops!" Zhou Han didn't care about anything else, went back to the house, put on his hat, scarf and gloves in a random manner, and then urged the three of them to take him back to the scene where he picked up things.

If it was as he expected, his roommate would have already had an accident!

The four of them hurriedly trotted towards the place where the incident had occurred. It took about half an hour to get to the place where the three men claimed to have picked up something. This section of the descent is not easy to walk, the road is covered with snow, and it is knee-deep in places. Along the way, carefully observe the pine forest and look for directions, because if you go off the rails, you may step in the air at any time! And if you really step on the air and roll down the steep hillside, the consequences are unimaginable!

Since Zhou Han's roommate left, the mountain has been warm for a day, and then it snowed heavily, so it's up to how to find it now. It's hard to find any trace of someone who disappeared a week ago.

After shouting and searching for hours in the vicinity, the four of them met again here, but none of them found anything.

It was already completely dark. The snow-covered mountain roads are becoming more and more difficult to walk.

"Let's go back, it's just a few of us in the forest farm now, and it's impractical to turn the whole mountain over. Besides, all this is just our speculation at the moment, and we can't say for sure, maybe he just lost his things, and the person has arrived home safely. ”

Faced with the three who were at a loss. Zhou Han came up with an idea and said, "Uncle Seven, you are most familiar with the office of the Liang field owner. There may be his home phone number remembered, you go through the house to look for it, and when tomorrow dawn, we will go down the mountain to the village to find a phone number to contact his family. Check the situation. ”

The old guy known as "Uncle Seven" took over the task. Nodding, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, wait a minute, Accountant Zhou, we don't know your roommate very well, we only know that the young man's surname is Bai, what is his name, you tell me that I can find a roster." ”

The roommate did come for too short a time, and he was arrogant and unsociable. The forest farm does not know its full name. Zhou Han was not surprised, "His name is Bai Ze." Sawa of mountains, rivers and lakes. ”

========

was disturbed by such a sudden incident that should have been a pleasant day, and Zhou Han's mood naturally didn't get better. When he dragged his tired body halfway up the mountain back to the door of his dormitory. I was about to push the door in, but I didn't want to push the door halfway in, and it was strangely blocked by something.

It didn't count, the point was that the thing blocking his door from opening the door also let out a slight snort.

Zhou Han was taken aback, what could there be in such a dark forest night? His hands shook, and he felt the urge to throw away everything and run.

Is it a beast!? This was Zhou Han's knee-jerk reaction.

Who knew that it was quickly denied by the female voice on the ground.

"Me, me, you, don't be afraid ......"

Zhou Han was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Are you human?" ”

What he asked was all nonsense, and as soon as he said it, Zhou Han bit his tongue with remorse, "No, I just want to ask, what's wrong with you?" ”

When he said this, Zhou Han reached out his arm to pull the switch of the light, and when the light turned on, he looked at the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a girl wearing a plain white floral cotton dress, she looked young, she saw the light suddenly turn on, and subconsciously used her palm to block the light in front of her.

"Why are you in the mountains at this time, and why are you in my house?" Zhou Han looked at the girl on the ground, and saw that she was holding a package tightly in her arms, and she was in an indescribable embarrassment.

The girl didn't speak at first, and then maybe she saw that Zhou Han's appearance and temperament didn't look like a bad person, so she slowly sat up straight, and muttered: "I, I came to the forest farm to find someone, but I got lost halfway, and I accidentally fell on the road and injured my foot, it was really hard to find here, and I saw that the door of your house was not locked, so I came uninvited......"

Speaking of this, the girl was a little embarrassed, and looked at her weakly with a pair of bright eyes, "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't mean to scare you." I was just...... It's just that I'm too tired and sleepy, so I went into the house and felt really warm, so I couldn't help but fall asleep. ”

Even if the house is much warmer than the outside, it is really possible to fall asleep on the ground. Zhou Han muttered in his heart, but asked seriously, "Who are you looking for?" How did you think of going up the mountain at this time, is there something urgent? ”

I don't know what the reason is, when Zhou Han asked her why she went up the mountain, the girl was stunned, and then the two pairs of crystal eyes quickly covered with a layer of mist, and then her shoulders twitched together. "Woo woo woo ......"

Zhou Han was dumbfounded.

"Oh, don't cry! You are the same person, you can cry no matter how you say! I didn't care much about you, you are like this, you are like this, I ...... "I don't know how to comfort you!"

In the mountains of the forest farm, except for the eldest lady who cooks and the family members who occasionally visit relatives, there are no women at all year round. Zhou Han was born in a poor countryside, from birth to school, there are few girls around him to talk to him, even if he has such a good impression of anyone, he is afraid of his birth and does not dare to talk to him, and where does he get the experience to communicate with the girl!

"I'm sorry...... Whining...... It just occurred to me that something sad...... Woo woo, sorry to scare you......"

The girl sobbed for a moment, then finally stopped, put her hands on the ground, and prepared to get up. But as soon as she exerted her strength, a sharp pain suddenly came from her right foot and ankle, which made her tremble, scream, and fell down again without losing her center of gravity.

Zhou Han was startled, and quickly supported the other party. "What's wrong with you!? Injured? Where? ”

Under the influence of a young man, the girl finally leaned against the wall and sat down on the nearest chair, and she looked around, and found that the room was not large, but two curtains were used to divide three spaces, and in each small space there were two beds, a writing desk, and a cabinet.

It seemed that it was a multi-person dormitory, and the girl's heart relaxed a little, and she withdrew her gaze, trying to take off the shoe on her right foot, "My ankle hurts terribly." ”

Zhou Han squatted down in front of her, wanting to help check but hesitated for a moment and was embarrassed.

As she was stunned, the girl had already strively removed her shoes and socks.

The swollen ankle appeared in Zhou Han's sight, which surprised him, "It's so serious!" ”

Regardless of the difference between men and women, Zhou Han subconsciously picked up the girl's ankle to check, and saw that the ankle was red and swollen in a large area, bulging out, if it weren't for the girl's shoes being too big, it was estimated that it would be difficult for her to take off her shoes.

"It's a shame that you can still run around, and I'll see what you do if you get lost in the mountains with this injury!"

Zhou Han's words were originally said casually, but when they reached the girl's ears, she couldn't help but be stunned.

It has been a long, long time since her mother died, and no one has spoken to her with such reproach and thoughtfulness.

As soon as he touched the bulging place, the girl bared her teeth in pain.

"You wait for me." Zhou Han is used to living alone, and it is common for him to take care of himself, so he has a lot of experience with the girl's ankle sprain.

He fetches clean footbasins from the outhouse, then rushes out of the dormitory and runs outside into the snow to plow the snow.

It took about five minutes for Zhou Han to save up a large pot of snow and return to the house.

"Don't be too cold, if you sprain your foot, you have to use ice and snow compresses, so that you can ......"

He was stunned in the middle of his sentence.

The girl had fallen asleep in a chair leaning crookedly against the wall, her eyes were closed, her chest was sinking with her breathing, her sprained and swollen instep was bare/exposed to the air, red as a big carrot.

You can fall asleep like this...... It seems that she is really tired. Zhou Han was stunned for a few seconds, and finally sighed helplessly, put the footbasin on the ground in front of the girl, and used the lightest technique ever to carefully put the red and swollen little foot into the footbasin, and then buried it with snow water.

After a while, Zhou Han estimated that the cold compress had worked, so he removed the snow basin and put down the sleeping girl's calf cotton pants.

So far, the girl still hasn't woken up.

Zhou Han stood in front of her, and for the first time had the courage to carefully examine the girl's appearance.

Her jet-black hair was braid at the back of her head, her bangs covered her round and fair forehead, and her eyelashes were as thick as butterfly wings under closed eyes. Based on her blown-out, white and frosty skin, Zhou Hanke concluded that this should be a girl from the city, but what happened to the girl in the city that forced her to choose to go up the mountain on such a snowy day? Or is it a person?

Isn't she afraid of encountering any accidents? Even if she met someone, how could she trust a strange young man so easily?

Zhou Han touched his heart and shook his head. Although he is not a humble gentleman, he has also read books for many years, and he is not a despicable villain who robs and sees lust. In the current state of the empty forest farm, it was safer for the girl to stay with him than with the lumberjacks.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Han finally made up his mind, walked over and lifted the girl from the chair with both arms, and then slowly moved to the nearest roommate's bed.

In the process, a small package slipped out of the girl's pocket, and fell to the ground with a crisp "dang". (To be continued.) )
