In the fourth year, in the green June, after Xia Xue came to Mount Tai, she unexpectedly did not meet Sun Chang, who had agreed to meet here.

Although Xia Xue is a little disappointed, she doesn't care much about it, and her annual vacation is mainly to enjoy nature and conduct scientific research on new plant varieties. Love only accounts for about 20% of the happiness of life for women in the future era, Xia Xue is not so careful, enjoy love when you have it, and enjoy nature if you don't have it.

Therefore, Xia Xue still devoted herself to her hobbies and scientific research, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai and picking plant specimens of Mount Tai.

Xia Xue found that Mount Tai is actually not high, the highest place is the main peak of the Jade Emperor Peak, the altitude is only 1545 meters, it is not the highest in the famous mountains, such as the altitude of Xiyue Huashan is 2154.9 meters, and the altitude of Beiyue Hengshan is 2016.1 meters, which is higher than Mount Tai, but Mount Tai has the title of "the head of the five mountains", "the length of the five mountains", and "the first mountain in the world".

Analyzing the reason, it was found that it was because Mount Tai was located in the North China Plain, and although the absolute height was not high, the relative height was very large. Mount Tai rises in the east of the North China Plain, above the Qilu Plain, east of the vast sea, west of the long-standing Yellow River, south of Wen, Si, Huai's water, and plains, hills relative height difference of 1300 meters, forming a strong contrast, so visually appear extraordinarily tall sense of rhythm and "a glance at the mountains and small" high momentum; The mountain range stretches for more than 100 kilometers, lying on 426 square kilometers, its foundation is wide to produce a sense of stability, and the shape is huge and concentrated to produce a sense of heaviness, which has the majesty of "Zhenkun Wei but not shaking". The so-called "stable as Mount Tai" and "heavy as Mount Tai" are the reflection of their natural characteristics in people's physiology and psychology.

The sunrise of Mount Tai is indeed spectacular: ascending to the top of the eastern white, the beginning of chaos, the purple gas is dense, and the head is contemplating the chaotic clouds. The golden pill leaps over the clouds and the sky is red, spraying a thin red basin, Vientiane Qiankun, and the scenery of the peaks at a glance is terrifying.

However, when watching the sunrise, Xia Xue's mind uncontrollably flashed the warm man who was not good-looking but warm as spring, and his heart couldn't help but stir, and then he felt a feeling of emptiness, "Alas, don't think about it!" Maybe someone has something more important this year, maybe they've fallen in love with other women, maybe they've forgotten about me......"

Xia Xue gathered her body and mind, packed up her mood, and devoted herself to the study of Taishan plants.

Mount Tai belongs to the flora of North China, due to the influence of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the rainfall is abundant, and it is a transition zone of alternating dry and wet. Therefore, Mount Tai plants grow luxuriantly and have a wide variety of species, with 1412 species of higher plants in 645 genera and 174 families; 446 species of lower plants; There are 1136 species of vascular plants, belonging to 133 families and 550 genera, including 814 species of wild plants and 322 species of cultivated plants. There are 989 species of seed plants in 144 families, including 433 species of woody plants in 72 families, 556 species of herbaceous plants in 72 families, and 462 species of medicinal plants in 111 families.

Xia Xue was overjoyed by such a rich variety of plants, and she quickly immersed herself in the fun of plant scientific research, throwing Sun Chang out of the clouds.

After about five or six days of scientific research in the mountains, I was picking plant specimens in a mountain forest area on this day, and suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in the distance: "Hey, are you Xia Bing's girl?" ”

Xia Xue looked up and saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who was stunned beckoning to her.

She didn't make a sound, just looked at the other party, not knowing how he knew the pseudonym he had told Sun Chang.

The young man ran over panting, bent over and panting, "Oh, why don't you answer?" But judging by your appearance, it should be the Xia Bing girl that Dr. Sun said. The young man was obliquely wearing a disguise, wearing a mask, with a bloated figure and a dark and yellow face, Xia Xue, "I have been wandering around Mount Tai in the past few days, and I am tired of finding me, Dr. Sun has something to pass on to you!" ”

"What's the word?" Xia Xue stared at the young man calmly, feeling a little strange in her heart.

"Doctor Sun, he accidentally fell down from the mountain seven or eight days ago, broke his leg, and was in a coma for several days, he didn't care about his injuries when he woke up, but anxiously asked me to go to Mount Tai to look for you everywhere, you won't be any of his relatives, right? ……”

"What! - "Hearing that Sun Chang was injured, Xia Xue was shocked, although she didn't care about Sun Chang on the surface, but deep down in her heart she had already deeply branded his shadow, after all, he was his very intimate confidant and friend, a very good travel friend, and he had saved himself many times, and there was still a little ambiguous relationship ......, so it was fake not to care. Xia Xue couldn't help but get nervous, she asked eagerly, "Who are you Sun Chang?" - Is he badly injured? Where is he now? ——”

The young man looked at the "ugly" Xia Xue, and he didn't know what Dr. Sun was anxious to do with this ugly woman, so he glanced at Xia Xue and said impatiently: "Dr. Sun saved my father, he is the benefactor of our family, and now he lives in our house, you follow me, and I will take you to see him." ”

After saying that, he walked away without looking back, Xia Xue was anxious, and he didn't care about the young man's bad attitude, and followed him closely.

After walking for more than half an hour, I came to a house at the bottom of the mountain, and saw the young man walking in, it was estimated that it should be the young man's home.

The house is a three-room tile house, one facing east and two facing south; The east-facing house is between the stoves, and the south-facing is the inner room. Around the house, there is a fence wall, and outside the chai gate is a mountain road in the east-west direction. The whole house is a typical peasant house.

As soon as Xia Xue walked into the courtyard, she saw someone shouting inside: "Miss Xia Bing, Miss Xia Bing ......", the voice was very familiar, it was Sun Chang's voice.

Xia Xue hurriedly walked into the house, only to see Sun Chang wrapped in a bandage on his head, his left leg tied like a zongzi, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deep, and he was lying on the bed in a bedroom in the west with a haggard face.

The young man and an old man on the side hurriedly helped him up: "Slow down, slow down, Dr. Sun......

Seeing Sun Chang's tragic image, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, her eyes were red, her nose was sore, and tears flowed down.

She hurriedly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and motioned for Sun Chang to lie down and talk.

Sun Chang's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, he turned his head to the young and old people and said, "Thank you, you don't need to help me, I'll lie down and talk." Thank you Dabao for finding Miss Xia Bing, you have worked hard these days! - " He paused, "I'm sorry, this is my sister, I have something to say to her, can you ...... for a while?"

Dabao and his father immediately understood what Sun Chang meant, and hurriedly gently helped Sun Chang to lie down, "Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Sun's sister, welcome!" We're out cooking, let's talk. The two quickly left the bedroom.

There were only two people left in the bedroom, Sun Chang and Xia Xue, and the air fell silent all of a sudden, and the two just stared at each other deeply, their eyes full of warmth and concern.

After being silent for a while, Sun Chang spoke first, "I'm sorry, I missed my appointment this year and didn't ......pick you up at Taishan on time."

Xia Xue hurriedly interrupted him, "No, no, it's not your fault, you're all like this, how can I blame you?" Why are you careless, are you seriously injured? - Xia Xue's eyes were full of concern, and she looked at Sun Chang warmly.

"Alas, seven or eight days ago, I saw a red lingzhi on the cliff, and when I was excited, I climbed up to pick it, but I didn't expect an accident...... "Sun Chang really regretted it, you must know that if something happened, no matter how rare the herb is, he will not pick it." Because in June, the most important thing for him is to greet his beloved.

"You're really, you almost lost your life for a red lingzhi, you can't do this again in the future! ——" Xia Xue said with distress.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention to safety in the future. My injuries were not very serious, I didn't climb very high and fell down, but I broke my left calf, broke my head, and passed out......" Sun Chang was afraid that Xia Xue would be worried, so he tried to describe his injuries lightly.

"I've been in a coma for a few days, isn't that serious? - " Xia Xue stroked Sun Chang's head wrapped in gauze angrily and distressedly, "Does your head still hurt now?" ”

"It's not painful, it's okay-" Sun Chang looked at Xia Xue happily, seeing that she cared about herself so much, her heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

"I'll take care of you from tomorrow, and I won't be collecting medicine this holiday." Xia Xue said softly to Sun Chang.

"Oh, Miss Xia, I'm not so squeamish, don't look at me thin, I'm in good physical condition, don't bother you, you continue to play and pick and study plant specimens, I just have Dabao's father and son to take care of me, as long as you can come and see me every day, I'm satisfied-" Hearing that Xia Xue was going to sacrifice her vacation and hobbies, Sun Chang hurriedly objected.

"No, I've decided! Your injury is more important than my scientific research, and I must take care of your recovery! Xia Xue said resolutely that although Xia Xue doesn't care so much about love, she is not a ruthless person, on the contrary, she is actually a very emotional person.

"Miss Xia—" Sun Chang was anxious, guilty and happy, and the expression on his face was really mixed.

Once Xia Xue made a decision, no one could change it, so Dabao's father and son set aside a small bedroom for Xia Xue and let her live in it alone, Dabao's mother has died, and two sisters have been married, and he is not married yet, so there is still an empty house at home.

Xia Xue then stayed at Dabao's house and took care of Sun Chang carefully. Because Sun Chang is a doctor, he prepares medicine for himself, and Xia Xue goes out hunting every day to supplement Sun Chang's nutrition, and according to the prescription written by Sun Chang, he grabs and boils medicine for Sun Chang.

Under Xia Xue's careful care, after more than a month, Sun Chang basically recovered and was able to walk around on the ground, but he still needed crutches for the time being. Xia Xue went to a nearby town to buy him a pair of crutches and accompanied him around the yard every day for rehabilitation.

Two months later, Sun Chang was completely healed and could walk slowly without crutches, but he could not run, which required at least a little more rest. Seeing that Sun Chang was basically fine, Xia Xue's holiday time had arrived, and this time it was several days over, so he said goodbye to Sun Chang and agreed to meet in Yandang Mountain next year.

Sun Changyi reluctantly sent Xia Xue to the end of the mountain road, and only stopped continuing to send Xia Xue under Xia Xue's repeated persuasion, but just stood in the mountain wind like a statue and looked at Xia Xue slowly and walked away.
