Because I didn't tell Liu Rumei about the photo, I didn't tell her about it despite my doubts. I ended the day with a lot of doubts, and then returned to camp with the others.

Back at the camp, it was still early. The archaeological team gathered in twos and threes, either chatting or discussing. I sat alone on an equipment box, looking at the red sun on the horizon, quietly thinking about the photos.

I've never believed that there are so many coincidences in this world, that everything should have a reasonable explanation, even if it's the supernatural. People often find themselves encountering some familiar scenes or things, some people attribute this to their sixth sense, and some people attribute it to memories of past lives, and I think it should be a subjective misunderstanding. In other words, the two things that I think are the same are actually not the same, but I think they are the same, and it is my subjective feeling. I can't help but feel relieved when I think of this, maybe all the coincidences about the photos before are just my own subjective opinions.

I sat on the gear box and quietly admired the scenery around me. A gust of mountain wind blew, and suddenly I felt some chills on my body, and I touched my forehead with my hand, but I didn't feel hot, but some wet sweat.

"Qin Fen, what are you doing here alone?" Liu Rumei has come to me at some point.

"Uh......" I pointed to the red sun in the sky and said, "It's okay, look at the scenery." ”

"Huh...... You seem to have a bad complexion. Liu Rumei looked at me and said, "You shouldn't be sick, right?" ”

As she spoke, she put her little hand on my forehead, and I felt her hand cold and comfortable on my forehead.

"It's so hot." Liu Rumei said in surprise: "You have a fever." ”

"Won't it?" I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't feel hot when I touched my forehead, so I said, "Could it be that your hands are too cold?" ”

"Cool wool ......" Liu Rumei, who has always been quiet, suddenly burst into a thick sentence, she took out an electronic thermometer from her bag as she spoke, took a look at it and handed it to me, saying, "Hurry up and measure it first, I'll go find the team doctor." ”

I took the thermometer and tucked it under my armpit, still thinking that I should not have a fever.

"40°C, rub, this thermometer is broken......" When I saw the degree on the electronic thermometer, I couldn't help but complain. Anyway, I haven't had a cold in years, and I've almost forgotten what it feels like.

I restarted the electronic thermometer and reset it and clipped it back under my armpit. A moment later, I stared at the electronic thermometer again, still in disbelief.

"Smack......

Liu Rumei didn't know when she had already stood in front of me with the team doctor, she snatched the thermometer from my hand, looked at it herself, and then handed it to the team doctor.

"He also said that he was not hot, and he should be ripe in a while." Liu Ru said to me fiercely.

"Hey......" I grinned.

"It's hot enough." The team doctor chimed in, then took out a small flashlight from his pocket and said to me, "Let me check it briefly, let's open my mouth first" ah "......"

I cooperated with the team doctor and was examined by him. Seeing that he frowned, I asked curiously, "Doctor, do I have a cold?" ”

"Sort of." The team doctor nodded and said, "But this body temperature is too high, and you need to go down the mountain to the hospital." ”

"Can you not go? I'll take a pill and get some sleep, and I'll be fine. "I really don't want to cause trouble to others, so I try to ask the team doctor.

"I'll arrange the car." Without waiting for the team doctor to answer, Liu Rumei spoke first.

I smiled wryly, this girl ......

When the team doctor gave me a fever injection, Liu Rumei had already asked the driver to wait in Mitsubishi off-road. Zhou Xingyao should have also gotten the news, walked over quickly, frowned and said to me: "You kid, it's really worry-free." ”

Immediately afterwards, he listened to a brief report from the team doctor, and then turned to Liu Rumei and said, "Xiaoliu, this kid will be handed over to you." ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Xingyao continued: "Xiaoliu, after you send this kid to the hospital, you will help me do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Rumei asked.

Zhou Xingyao did not answer, but took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Liu Rumei. Seeing that he has no intention of avoiding suspicion, nor does he mean to explain, I think it is probably just some inconsequential private matter.

……

It was because of the fever reducer that I fell asleep in the car in a daze. I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up, I found myself in a hospital bed. I tried to move my body, but I found that my whole body was so sore and weak that I had to lift my eyelids. I could only lie quietly with my eyes closed, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, I was a little more energetic, and I looked sideways to the left and right, thinking that I should be in a single room, and it was quiet around. I glanced at the window, it was about morning, and the sunlight outside the window was slanting into the room. There are still drip bottles hanging on the infusion stand at the bedside, and the liquid in the drip pot is still dropping by drop...... Slowly dripping. I felt thirsty, so I turned my head to see if there was any drinking water nearby, but instead of seeing the drinking water, I saw a clump of shaggy hair first.

Liu Rumei sat on a small stool, resting on the side of the bed, and fell asleep quietly. An inexplicable feeling rose in my heart, remembering that when I was a child, my mother would stay by the bedside like this.

As the minutes passed, I quietly watched her sleeping appearance, did not look for water to drink, did not dare to make a sound, and did not even dare to move her body, for fear that I would wake her up.

I glanced at the drip bottle hanging on the infusion stand at the bedside, and the liquid in it had been infused, and the liquid in the drip pot of the infusion set was no longer dripping. I glanced at my wrist, because of the pressure, some of them had already flowed back into the infusion set, and there was a trace of blood red in the section of the infusion tube near my body.

Quiet, except for the sound of his own heartbeat, everything in the ward seems to be frozen.

The door to the "Squeak...... ward was gently pushed open, and a nurse walked in.

Liu Rumei was woken up, she sat up suddenly, first glanced at the nurse who had just come in, and then turned back to look at me, probably to find that I was staring at her, she was stunned at first, and then smiled and said, "Qin Fen, you are awake." ”

"Hmm." I answered and wanted to say thank you, but I felt that those two words were too light, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yikes! Hebed back! Liu Rumei exclaimed, she had only noticed it just now. She blushed as she watched the nurse handle the infusion set that had returned blood, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" I don't know who she's saying it to.

The nurse on the side seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and did not speak, but after pulling out the infusion set needle, she smiled and nodded to us, and then left.

"I'm sorry." She looked at me and repeated, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, I just fell asleep, I didn't ......"

I raised my hand and motioned for her to say no more, trying to comfort her but not knowing what to say. I can't tell if I was moved, or if her appearance at this time was pitiful, but I felt that my heart was hot and a tear was slipping down.

"I didn't mean to, why are you crying?" Liu Rumei was aggrieved.

I felt like I was out of shape and hurriedly said, "I didn't cry, I just wanted to relieve myself." ”

"Oh, then I'll help ......," she replied, probably wanting to say that I would help you, but feeling that something was wrong, and finally only said half of it.

"I can." I smiled, reached out and sat up, leaning down to find my shoes. As a result, the moment I lowered my head, a strong feeling of dizziness hit me, and I almost fell to the ground. I hurriedly pressed my hand on the bedside table next to the bed, pretending that I was not sitting still.

"Can you?"

"It's okay...... It's okay. ”

"Really?"

"Really ......"

I cautiously approached the bathroom in the ward, closed the door, and calmed down first......

"Waste...... Waste, I heard you were lying down...... Hey, Xiaoyanagi is here, where's the waste? "I was just about to leave the bathroom when the fat man's voice sounded outside the door.

"This ......" Liu Rumei didn't know how to answer.

"This?" The fat man felt a little inexplicable, and then he heard him say, "Xiaoyanagi, you mean the waste is gone?" Oops...... He was fine when he left the day before yesterday, how can you say that it is gone...... He's a waste point sometimes, and he's not so crispy, and it's a waste of words......"

“…… No...... This ......" Liu Rumei wanted to explain, but couldn't interject.

"Ahem!"

I stood behind the fat man with a black face and coughed loudly, which scared the fat man.

"Oops, I'm going to ......"

The fat man hid to the side, and when he saw my black face, he immediately understood that what he had just said had been heard, and immediately laughed and said, "Brother...... Elder brother...... Where did you just go...... Brother ......"

I gave him a blank look, didn't speak, and went to get a disposable cup to drink. After the fat man saw it on the side, he hurriedly snatched the cup in my hand, went to the water dispenser very attentively, took some hot water and mixed some cold water, and then brought it over and handed it to me.

"Brother, you drink water."

Liu Rumei, who was on the side, was already smiling when she saw such a scene.

"Breakfast is coming."

At this moment, Liu Rumei's driver walked in with several lunch boxes. When he saw the three people in the room, he was also stunned, one with a black face, one was laughing, and the other was already laughing, what was the situation?

……

I didn't have much appetite, so I just drank a bowl of porridge and ate two bites of side dishes casually. Liu Rumei, like me, eats very little. This breakfast, don't look at it as just a box lunch, it is quite exquisite, and the taste is completely different from the one packed outside, I think it should be brought out from Liu's house. The fat man doesn't care about this, he only eats more than one, and finally asks: Is there anything else?
