Chapter 17: Snowy Night

The night was so thick that it could not melt, the snowflakes fluttered wantonly in the cold wind, and sometimes there were cars speeding by, and there was a roar under the bridge; From time to time, a bonfire explodes a firework to make the bridge more transparent.

Hu Shanshan smacked my chest weakly, and was about to say something, when suddenly her neck bulged, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and coughed.

She tried not to let herself cough up, then weakly put on her mask, and I saw her eyes bloodshot and her breath was disorganized.

"Lu Xia, if I really have that illness, are you afraid?"

"Don't get cranky"

"You will be scared, and you will regret taking care of me." Hu Shanshan said and smiled, and closed her eyes again, "Actually, Manager Zhao is right, you are stupid!" ”

I didn't know what to say to comfort her, I didn't know what I could do for her, maybe all I could do was be by her side. I would even wonder what I would do if I were someone else, what would I do if I were her boyfriend?

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of her ex-boyfriend, and the scene in the Crane Tower appeared in front of my eyes. Think of the majestic Millennium Clock.

"Da Shanshan, do you remember the Millennium Bell?" Hu Shanshan raised her face slightly, and her crystal clear eyes dangled in front of me, like a ray of moonlight in a clear pool.

"Your grandmother said that we are separated from war, from displacement and despair, from all disasters and misfortunes ...... the millennium."

I said and looked up at the outside, the red wall on a snowy night, what a beautiful scene! I gently stroked Shanshan's hair, I really wanted to give her a handful of green silk.

"But bad luck happened to me." She said.

"In fact, disasters and bad luck are always there, wars and famines also occur, and these are things that human beings need to face all the time, and they have existed since ancient times. What is different is that after the millennium, we are no longer afraid, because we have the ability and faith to face it. The country is strong, the nation is united, and the science and technology are advanced, and any disaster will be saved before it may pose a threat to us. ”

After listening to what I said, Hu Shanshan stared at me and smiled, smiling very sincerely: "Lu Xia, I guess my grandmother will like you...... Your understanding of these words. ”

People become emotional when they are feeling down. On this day, Hu Shanshan snuggled in my arms and said a lot of things, from the first failed parent-teacher meeting to being harassed by the unit leader.

I listened quietly, and in a drowsy voice, I heard her say to me: Lu Xia, if you weren't there that day, I wouldn't have asked for that umbrella. I didn't want to pull and pull to make you aware of my relationship with him, and at that time I found that I had no attachment, no love, no hatred, because you were standing in front of me, I was calm, I was fearless.

I couldn't tell if she said it while I was asleep, or if I had dreamed it in my own sleep. When I woke up the next day, the bonfire had been extinguished, and Hu Shanshan went straight into my arms. Wang Yuqing didn't know when he had woken up, standing on the snow and looking at it curiously.

Zhao Ziwu and Zhou Jie hadn't woken up yet, huddled on the ground covered with withered grass, curled up like a silkworm chrysalis. I looked at the time, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the new year, 68 hours had passed since we fled from Wu City, and at the same time, we had already completed 2/3 of the target distance. This is a very encouraging statistic, which means that one day we will basically reach the boundary of Xishui.

Thinking of this, I felt very excited and woke up Zhao Ziwu and Zhou Jie, but when I shook Hu Shanshan in my arms again, I found that she was extremely weak.

"How is she?" Zhou Jie came over and asked with concern, reached out and touched Hu Shanshan's forehead, and then touched his forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not like a fever"

Zhao Ziwu stood three meters away and stretched his neck, reminding, "Isn't there a thermometer?" At this time, Hu Shanshan looked at us with sleepy eyes, struggled to get up, and said with a sigh: "I'm fine, I'm much better." ”

I found the thermometer in Hu Shanshan's pocket and tried to take her temperature, but found that she was a little hesitant. That's when I realized that things might not be good, and she was obviously worried, which meant that there was still something wrong with her body.

"Hmmm! The fever has subsided! Take another cold medicine to consolidate. I was also scared, so I symbolically put the thermometer on Hu Shanshan's neck, and put it in my pocket without letting Zhou Jie and Zhao Ziwu see it clearly. Then he picked up the teacup and wanted Hu Shanshan to take medicine, but found that there was no water.

Wang Yuqing stood on the snow and turned his head, and said with a bitter face: "Not only is there no water, but there is also no food!" The phone is out of battery. ”

At this time, Zhao Ziwu hurriedly ran out, "The phone is out of battery?" There's a power bank here."

Wang Yuqing snorted and turned her head, and Zhao Ziwu circled around her a few times before stuffing the power bank into her hand. I saw that although Wang Yuqing had a very indifferent attitude, he was not disgusted with the man in front of him, and I knew that the two did not break up because of what happened last night, and I was also a little relieved.

Hu Shanshan got up and patted the dust on the down jacket, stretched and shook it, and asked me if it was time to hurry.

I saw that there was nothing to be nostalgic for in this ghost place, so I nodded and said, "Then let's go!" Try to get to the Xishui boundary today. ”

Speaking of this, I found that Hu Shanshan's eyes were a little gloomy, and the events of last night came to mind, and I subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ziwu. "Oh, we don't seem to need to go to Xishui anymore"

Zhao Ziwu was still flattering in front of Wang Yuqing, and when he heard my words, he suddenly raised his face, changing his arrogance from the past.

"Eh, what I said yesterday was all angry words, I was irritated by this little brother taking the wrong way, and I was a little ...... emotionally. Hey, hey, look at Da Shanshan, isn't it okay, and my brother won't really leave you alone! Isn't it? ”

Zhao Ziwu said no matter what time and again, seeing us staring at him indifferently, he was stunned and ran to pick up Hu Shanshan's suitcase: "It's my turn to take the box this time!" I don't have a place to spill my strength, it's weird and uncomfortable. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ziwu pushed Hu Shanshan's suitcase and walked out, stepped on the snow in front of Wang Yuqing, and smiled diligently.

Wang Yuqing snorted and walked forward with his head held high. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Ziwu. "Come here!"

Zhao Ziwu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, so he almost wagged his tail. Without waiting to speak, I saw Wang Yuqing snort on the handkerchief, standing on tiptoe to wipe the bloody scab on Zhao Ziwu's face.

Zhou Jie and I looked at each other, surprised by this ending. Hu Shanshan smiled meaningfully at me like a mirror.

"You're a weird person," Hu Shanshan grabbed a handful of snow and pinched it in her palm, and said casually.

"Am I blamed?" I pointed to myself, confused.

"I can still talk when I fall asleep, so I have to talk alone for a long time, I really play the piano to the cow!"

It turned out that I fell asleep unconsciously last night because I was too tired, but Hu Shanshan didn't feel sleepy at all, maybe because she was depressed, she said a lot to me, until I found out that I had already fallen asleep, only occasionally humming.

"Am I in a dream?" I thought it was new to myself, but no one had ever told me about it.

"I didn't tell you any secrets, did I?"

"Do you have a secret?"

"It's a little bit!"

"That's a shame! I should take the opportunity to ask and use it to extort money! ”

"If you get a chance to sleep together again, remember to ask."

Hu Shanshan smashed the snowball on my head: "Who slept with you?" I want to die! ”
