Chapter 49: Second Sister
Changshan's geographical location is unique, between two plateaus, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains for the city to block the invasion of cold air, not to mention, and because of the relatively high altitude, the clouds are very thin, and it is warm like spring all year round.
And this mountainous area two hundred kilometers away from Changshan, without the protection of the roof of the world, seems to be a world of ice and snow, a vast white piece between the sky and the earth, and the snow is crystal clear and endless.
It's not too sour to get out of the heated car, to the sub-zero air outside the car, to the ice-cellar-like bathroom, and finally to wash your hands under the biting cold running water.
Even though she was so cold that her teeth were clucking, Ling Li still rinsed her hands very seriously, and she was secretly glad that the water pipe was not frozen.
When she washed her hands and came out, she saw Zhu Jinchuan standing under the eaves in front of the convenience store in the service area, frowning.
Seeing her coming, Zhu Jinchuan raised his hand and pointed to a mountain in front of him: "I'm afraid there is a traffic jam there, either the snow is too deep, or there is a car accident." If the snow doesn't stop, the road will be subject to traffic control. ”
Ling Li didn't understand the meaning of his words, and desperately tried to see clearly where he was pointing, but there was a vast white space in front of him, and he couldn't really see anything.
Zhu Jinchuan opened the car door and took out an umbrella, raised his hand and threw the car key to Ling Li, who was still staring in a daze: "I'll go to the front and take a look, you go back to the car and wait." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the server along the path with an umbrella, and then, along the emergency lane of the highway, walked into the overwhelming snow in front of him, and gradually his back became smaller and smaller.
Ling Li wanted to follow him, but after only taking two steps, he felt that the soles of his feet slipped.
With the help of regaining her balance and stabilizing her body, she lowered her head to look at the high-heeled boots on her feet, silently opened the car door and sat in.
Wearing such shoes to run in the snow to die, it's strange if your butt doesn't fall into eight petals.
It was easy to warm up her hands that were red from the cold at the air outlet of the heating, and Ling Li looked at the heavy snow outside the window, a little worried.
Although Zhu Jinchuan is not there, it seems that the air pressure around him is not so low, but there is only this car in this service area, and she is a pedestrian, and the living creatures around her are only the old grandma selling baked potatoes under the eaves in addition to the big trucks whistling by.
Like, I'm still a little scared.
Ling Li carefully checked that the door was indeed locked, and finally settled down.
There was plenty of heating in the car, and she propped her head on the door, listening to the song on the stereo, a little dazed, and was about to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly her hand on the car door slipped, and her head, which had lost its fulcrum, sank suddenly, and she came to her senses in an instant.
It was quiet, except for the soft female voice singing in the car, only the sound of the wind coming from the thin slit in the open window.
Ling Li raised her wrist and looked at her watch, the hands were already pointing to five o'clock, and she suddenly became a little uneasy.
Seeing that it had been almost an hour, Zhu Jinchuan still hadn't come back. She bit her lip and muttered, "Nothing will happen, right?" ”
Suddenly, there was a sudden loud noise in front of her, which shook her body.
She followed the sound and looked over, and it turned out to be a small shed next to the bathroom, which was overwhelmed by the snow and staggered by the strong mountain wind, and finally collapsed.
Frightened by this voice, Ling Li felt that the situation was not good, and her right eyelid couldn't stop jumping.
The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster. She had a hint of foreboding in her heart, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to call Zhu Jinchuan and ask where he went. However, she found that the mobile phone gave her another heavy blow.
The upper right side of the screen represents the row of vertical lines of different lengths of the signal, and only the shortest one looms.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, she found Zhu Jinchuan's number and dialed it, and the mobile phone was held to her ear for a long time, but there was no sound in the earpiece.
Ling Li was a little blind, although this is a deep mountain and old forest, but after all, it is a service area of the expressway, why is there not even a telecom base station?
Looking at the white expanse around again, some people understood that it was probably the snowy weather that affected the signal.
Seeing that time was passing minute by minute, and Zhu Jinchuan was still nowhere to be seen, Ling Li's heart was a little anxious, and she couldn't sit still anymore.
The highway is full of snow, and the road is cold and icy, if the vehicle skidding and can't control the direction, Zhu Jinchuan, who walks in the emergency lane, is it not easy to be hit?
In particular, there are still so many large trucks on this road, and it is still dozens of kilometers of uphill and downhill roads in a row, and it is not easy to control the direction on the ice and snow road.
If something really happened to him, in such bad weather, the phone couldn't get through, and he couldn't call the heavens and the earth, but what should he do?
The appearance of Zhu Jinchuan lying in a pool of blood seemed to flash in his mind, Ling Li didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly jumped out of the car door, and hurried in the direction he had just left in a heavy snow.
Half an hour passed, Ling Li limped down the emergency lane, looking at the wet and slippery long slope in front of her, her teeth chattering, a little overwhelmed.
Originally, she came out to find Zhu Jinchuan, but as a result, she had only walked less than a hundred meters, and the lenses of her glasses were covered with snow, and she didn't see clearly for a while, and the boots under her feet stepped on a piece of dark ice, and then her body tilted her gaze.
The world spun around, and when she reacted, she realized that she had fallen into a ditch on the side of the road.
The moment she stood up from the muddy water, what Ling Li thought in her mind was that it was not Zhu Jinchuan who had her eyelids jumping to mean disaster, but herself.
She easily climbed from the slippery slope to the shoulder of the road, only to find that her left arm and left ankle seemed to have been bruised.
The pain in his arm spread to his brain, and on his left ankle, there seemed to be a burst of sour and swelling pain.
Also, when I rolled down the slope just now, my glasses were also broken, and it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and people were unlucky to get up and drink water and stuff their teeth.
After enduring the pain, I walked for a few hundred meters and encountered a long uphill road.
Standing at the bottom of the slope, Ling Li hesitated.
Her hand was fine, maybe she just bumped into a little flesh wound, but the left foot hurt more and more as she walked, and I don't know if it hurt the bone.
Ling Li grinned, not knowing whether she should turn around and go back to the service area now, or continue to walk forward to find Zhu Jinchuan.
She hesitated in place, and suddenly in her blurred vision, there seemed to be a small beating black dot.
Ling Li wanted to see clearly with her empty eyes, but it was snowing and she was half-blind without glasses, she tried hard for a long time, but she still couldn't see what it was.
When the black dot was only a few dozen meters away from her, she realized that it was a figure holding an umbrella.
A familiar face gradually became clear in her sight, and the tall and thin person in front of her with a serious expression actually saw that her eyes hurt a little.
Zhu Jinchuan frowned, looked at Ling Li who was covered in muddy water in front of him, and there was a hint of annoyance in his voice: "Didn't you let you be in the car?" How did you get out? ”
She had snow on her head and shoulders, her clothes were dirty, she seemed to be rolling in the mud, her glasses were gone, and her hair was messy, like a refugee who had fled from nowhere. This look is really stinging in the eyes.
Ling Li was looking forward to Zhu Jinchuan's appearance on the hot pot before, but now although his face and tone were very unfriendly, he was still alive and well, and he was relieved at this time.
It's just that as soon as she looked down, she saw that she couldn't see the color of the coat, and her hands were full of muddy water, and she was a little embarrassed.
Zhu Jinchuan hates others to make trouble for him the most, he makes his own assertions, but others are fine, but he falls into this dirty appearance, which is really unspeakably embarrassing.
She lowered her head, and her voice was a little sneering: "I see that you haven't come back for so long, I'm afraid you'll ......"
Halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized that her worries seemed to be cursing him, so she swallowed the second half of her words again.
Zhu Jinchuan sighed slightly, holding an umbrella to cover the snow for her, as if resigned to her fate, in a helpless tone: "Let's go, let's go back to the car first." ”
Ling Li nodded, took a deep breath and took a few steps to endure the pain, but the abnormal gait immediately attracted Zhu Jinchuan's attention.
He stopped and turned his head a little displeased: "What's wrong with your feet?" ”
Ling Li was a little at a loss, biting her lip and replying, "It seems to have been broken just now." ”
Only then did Zhu Jinchuan realize that she didn't seem to just fall, and asked, "What happened to you just now?" ”
She only promised for a long time, and finally explained honestly: "I slipped under my foot just now, and accidentally rolled into a ditch on the side of the road, and my left ankle ...... It's gone. ”
After listening to her, Zhu Jinchuan let out a long sigh: "Ling Li, I really convinced you, running around in the snow in high heels, don't you think you are in trouble enough?" ”
After a pause, he counted again: "You should be glad that you just rolled down the ditch, and two hundred meters ahead, there is a cliff under the shoulder of the road, if you roll down, you won't be able to catch your body in ten days and half a month." ”
Ling Li listened silently, and also warned herself over and over again, although she ran out because she was worried about Zhu Jinchuan's safety, completely out of good intentions, but she was really a little self-conscious.
With Zhu Da's shrewdness and ability, where does she need to worry?
She looked down at the mud in her nails, frowned, and was depressed about how to clean it when it was so dirty, when suddenly, an umbrella was stuffed in her hand.
Ling Li looked up in shock, but found Zhu Jinchuan squatting slightly in front of her, and turned his face sideways and said, "I'll carry you over." ”
She hurriedly shook her head and emphasized: "It's okay, I can go, just slow down." ”
Zhu Jinchuan still maintained the posture of looking back: "When it comes to the matter of light or heavy feet, it is best not to touch the ground with your feet without determining the injury." ”
She shook her head again: "I'm too dirty, it's not good to get your clothes dirty." ”
Zhu Jinchuan sighed again, with helplessness in his voice: "Second Sister Ling, when you were a child, you said that you had a temper like a bully, but you are not as mother-in-law as you are now." ”
