Chapter 127: Hot Water Bottles
Chen Xin, who was de-icing in the small bunker, suddenly heard someone calling his name, and when he went to the observation hole in the gap where the ice had been knocked off, he looked out, only to see that the door of his shelter was open, and Qin Lan was kneeling on the snow.
Chen Xin was a little confused, but he still used the flashlight in his hand to shine at Qin Lan.
"What are you shouting? You just ran out early in the morning, and you didn't wear protective equipment, did you want to freeze to death? Get in and close the door for me! Chen Xin yelled angrily at Qin Lan.
It just snowed a little this morning, the temperature was low, Qin Lan ran out without any protective equipment, the low temperature of -30 °C can freeze people for a while, and even frostbite or even freeze to death if it lasts a little longer.
Seeing Qin Lan kneeling in the snow like this, it was no wonder that Chen Xin was angry.
Hearing Chen Xin's voice, Qin Lan hurriedly turned around, but was dazzled by the light of the flashlight.
He could only block one hand in front of his eyes, squinting his eyes and shouting, "Ah Xin? How did you get up there? What are you doing? ”
"I'm de-icing, you hurry up and let me in!" Chen Xin became more and more angry, and roared loudly at Qin Lan's urn through the protective mask.
Being yelled at by Chen Xin like this, Qin Lan felt that his whole body was already cold, and he hurriedly got up from the snow with some stiffness, and after entering the shelter, he closed the door.
Knocking out the last bit of ice, Chen Xin returned to the shelter from the passage with a hammer, looking at Qin Lan who was standing in the preparation room holding his arms and trembling, he took off the protective mask on his face, and yelled at her dissatisfied: "You have nerves early in the morning!" You're afraid of freezing to death if you run out like this! ”
"I ...... I didn't see you when I got up just now, I thought you were ...... You're out......" Qin Lan lowered her head very uncomfortably, feeling very aggrieved in her heart.
However, seeing Chen Xin's angry look, she rushed forward regardless of it and hugged him: "I thought you were angry with me and ran out to ignore me......"
As she spoke, Qin Lan's tears rolled down.
Looking at Qin Lan, who was crying out of her arms, Chen Xin's original dissatisfaction also disappeared, and he reached out and patted her lightly on the back twice, without saying anything more.
"Where did you go?" Lying in Chen Xin's arms and crying for a while, Qin Lan still quickly cleaned up her emotions, but her crying appearance was really far from the usual appearance of a capable female special policeman, and even looked a little weak.
"I'm going to de-ice the vents, it's so cold now, the vents in the shelter have ice every day, and if they don't de-ice, they're going to be blocked." Chen Xin explained to Qin Lan while also showing her the hammer in his hand.
Looking at the hammer in Chen Xinxin's hand, Qin Lan finally believed that he was removing the ice, but she still asked puzzledly, "Then where did you get out from?" Why didn't I see you when I looked around inside just now? ”
Regarding this question, Chen Xin just made a helpless expression, took Qin Lan to the corridor, and pointed to the open passage on the wall of the corridor.
"This is actually a Daomen?" Qin Lan looked at the open passage on the corridor in surprise, she really didn't notice that there was actually a door here.
"There are communication antennas and vents on top, and I made a bunker out of reinforced concrete, because of the weather and the humidity of the air discharged from the vents, it is easy to freeze, and it needs to be de-iced regularly." Chen Xin explained, and then closed the door on the wall of the corridor again.
After Chen Xin closed the door, Qin Lan took a closer look and found that this door was very inconspicuous, although it was not deliberately hidden, but the light in the corridor was not good, and the location of this door happened to be in the darkest place between the two lights, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will ignore the past.
made such a big and small oolong, both Qin Lan and Chen Xin felt a little embarrassed at this time.
"You go in first to warm up, I'll take off my protective suit." Chen Xin touched Qin Lan's hand and saw that her fingers were cold, so he asked her to avoid the shelter first: "By the way, boil some hot water, it's easy for you to catch a cold when you blow cold wind like this." ”
At this time, Qin Lan didn't say anything, nodded obediently, and re-entered the shelter.
And Chen Xin also returned to the maintenance room, closed several doors again, and took off the heavy protective clothing and protective mask on his body, and then returned to the shelter.
In the shelter, Qin Lan had already put back on the coat she hadn't worn before, and was guarding the fire on the turned on electric stove, while water was also boiling on the kitchen stove next to her.
"Are you better?" Chen Xin took the Snickers rack that Qin Lan put on the workbench yesterday and handed it to her: "This is what you brought yesterday, let's eat it first to replenish the calories." ”
Chen Xin said, came to the kitchen again, and saw that the water was almost boiling, so he found a cup and took the water off the stove, poured a cup of hot water for Qin Lan, and brought it to her.
Seeing that Qin Lan's face was still a little pale, Chen Xin shook his head, walked into the bedroom, took out a hot water bottle from the cabinet, and returned to the kitchen to fill it with hot water and stuffed it directly into Qin Lan's clothes.
"What is this?" Qin Lan was stunned for a moment when Chen Xin suddenly stuffed something into her arms, but soon the heat emitted from the hot water bottle warmed her body.
"Hot water bottle, Ah Lan, didn't you use it when you were a child?" Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan and was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Oh, I forgot, I guess I've never seen this kind of hot water at your age, and everything you've seen should be that kind of electric heating thing." ”
Qin Lan heard Chen Xin say, and she also reached into her arms and wanted to take out the hot water bottle to take a look, but Chen Xin directly reached out and held her down.
"Cover it for a while, and then talk about it when your body is warm." Chen Xin stopped her, but quickly withdrew his hand again, because the place he had just pressed was Qin Lan's chest.
Seeing Chen Xin withdraw his hand, Qin Lan was amused by his actions, but she didn't mind this matter, she just smiled and asked Chen Xin, "Ah Xin, why are you unwilling to go to the official shelter?" ”
"This question ......" Hearing Qin Lan's question, Chen Xin thought for a while before answering: "Just like Ah Lan, you won't give up your work as a SWAT team and move in with me, people always have a little persistence." And I've put so much effort and energy into it, and all the living conditions are better than the official shelters, how can I be willing if you let me move now?
If I can't survive anymore, Ah Lan, you let me move now, and I'll pack up and go with you immediately, no nonsense. But now in addition to the fact that no one talks to me and there is a lack of communication with people, I am actually doing well, and if you let me move, how can I move? ”
