Chapter 25 They Were Near

tossed and turned in the middle of the night before falling asleep, the next day, Xin Chen got up late without accident, went to work with dark circles under his eyes, was busy, Xiaoyun deliberately ran to her lattice position, looked at her carefully, and saw her straight hair, Xiaoyun approached her with a hippie smile and said: "The man who protected the flowers last night was really the best, warm and introverted and handsome, with such a boyfriend, no wonder what kind of man you see is not shocked." ”

Xin Chen couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't gossip about me, I'm not very familiar with him." ”

"Aren't you familiar? Well, why don't you introduce it to me? ”

"Well, he seems to have a girlfriend."

"It's a pity, if you want to see a man like him, don't forget to leave it to me."

Xin Chen was so entangled that he couldn't do it, so he could only nod, "Okay, I promise." ”

After Xiaoyun left, Xin Chen thought of the possible expression on his face when she thought of her going to introduce his girlfriend to Lu Fei, and his face couldn't help but twitch a little.

After Christmas, it is almost New Year's Day, but Chinese do not seem to regard New Year's Day as the beginning of the New Year, subconsciously waiting for the arrival of the Lunar New Year, especially most of the employees of the photography studio are not indigenous to Beijing, and they are looking forward to a long holiday, so as to go home early for the New Year.

When Yan Xuhui appeared in the studio and announced that he would send Pony to the southeastern region of Guizhou to shoot an album of ethnic minority customs, Pony was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"This album is part of the local government's plan to promote tourism, and it is not profitable, it is not only an attempt by the studio to expand its business scope, but also a public welfare undertaking." Yan Xuhui emphasized, "Xiaoma, I know that your hometown is over there, so I sent you over, if it goes well, you can go home early for the New Year after the filming is over." ”

The pony nodded, "Who am I going to take with me?" ”

When the photographer goes out, he always has to bring an assistant to help with the auxiliary work, but the studio has recently had several money-making commercials to be completed before the end of the year, and the staff is not enough, and even the planning is on the battlefield as an assistant. Yan Xuhui turned to Xin Chen, "Xiaochen, it just so happens that the promotion of the art exhibition you are doing at hand has been completed, and you are busy shooting at the moment, post-processing is the next step, or you go on a business trip with Xiaoma, or the old rule, complete the preliminary retouching while shooting, in fact, the local government will send special personnel and special cars to assist you, and they can do the physical work, and the shooting is completed on the scheduled date, you can go home directly for the Spring Festival holiday, how about it?" ”

Xin Chen has no objection, Guizhou is a province she has never been to, and it is okay to take advantage of her work for the first time to go to see it at public expense.

The next day, she and Xiaoma packed their luggage, took their equipment, looked at the shooting plan all the way, and flew to Guiyang Airport to land.

The pony muttered: "I'm about to catch up with Dayu, who is controlling the water, and I don't enter the house, this sentiment, this work attitude." His hometown is in Guiyang, the provincial capital, and he can come back early before the festival, so he is naturally regretful and happy. Xin Chen didn't bother to pay attention to his exclamation.

Xiao Li, the local government staff who came to pick them up, and the driver Lao Liu was very enthusiastic, first recognized the villagers with the pony, and introduced them all the way to the car, southeast Guizhou is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, with beautiful landscapes and numerous places of interest, and full of ethnic customs with heavy original ecological cultural colors, but the development of the tourism industry is far behind the neighboring Hunan, and now the government has decided to vigorously publicize and change this situation.

Xin Chen has carefully studied the shooting plan, and the landscape pictures in the album are provided by the local government, and Xiaoma's main task is to go deep into Zhenyuan, Leishan, Danzhai, and Liping to photograph the cultural landscapes inhabited by ethnic minorities.

Approaching the end of the old calendar, the itinerary was very close. The pony insisted on not resting on New Year's Day, and strived to finish the shooting as soon as possible. They barely stopped at the scenic spot, rushing from one location to another, and Xiao Li and Lao Liu, who accompanied them, expressed their amazement at their work efficiency.

Xin Chen didn't feel tired, she was used to masochistic donkey walking, and she only felt that this business trip was comfortable. Many of their filming locations are remote villages, and the living conditions are very difficult, but they have bus pick-up and drop-off all the way, a driver, and a staff member to accompany them all the way, and they live in either hotels or government guest houses, and the food and drink are all taken care of, and sometimes even a table of township government officials come forward to accompany them, which makes Xiaoma and Xin Chen almost a little flattered and uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, in the middle of January, the weather was gloomy and began to rain freezing, limited to light, shooting could only slow down, Xiao Li told them that this kind of weather in the local area is not unusual, and it will usually pass in a few days. The pony is anxious to finish his work early and go home for the New Year, urging him to rush to the next village. After driving for a while, the driver Lao Liu shook his head, "The mountains in this area are high and the road is dangerous, and it is too dangerous to go on the road in freezing weather, so wait a minute, the climate here has always been mild, there is no severe cold, and the road is easy to walk as soon as the weather is clear." ”

So they lived in a small village about 70 kilometers away from the county seat of Liping, but unexpectedly, the freezing rain has been non-stop, alternating with snow, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the road quickly freezes with thick ice cubes reflecting the light, Lao Liu called lucky: "If you are trapped on the road, it will be really fatal, so it is convenient to stay in the village now." ”

However, the so-called convenience is only relative, first the village has a water and electricity outage, then the mobile phone signal is cut off, and shortly after making a phone call home, the landline phone is also cut off.

Everyone was trapped in the humble office of the village committee, looking at each other.

At first, Pony was in the mood to take a camera out to photograph snow-covered vegetable fields, tea groves, power lines with long ice cubes, collapsed houses and high-voltage towers, birds frozen in the crystal ice and snow, and returning migrant workers walking with straw tied to their shoes, and said very coaxingly, "Some pictures will definitely win awards in the journalism or documentary photography category." ”

But day after day, these scenes gradually numbed him, and more importantly, the power supply, communication, and network were all cut off, the camera battery was exhausted, and there was only one diesel generator in the village to provide backup power.

The old people in the village said that they had never seen this kind of weather, and the news brought by the returnees who had returned from the arduous trek made everyone panic: the ice on the road was a foot thick, there was no sign of thawing, there were already bus accidents, heavy casualties, the wheels were wrapped in chains and could not drive safely, the road traffic outside was completely interrupted, even the provincial capital Guiyang City also had a power outage, not to mention Leishan County and Liping County, there was no oil at the gas station, and prices were soaring. Talking about the arduous journey back on foot, several migrant workers were all filled with palpitations and rejoicing.

Xiao Li's mood is particularly heavy, he can't get in touch with his superiors, not to mention, his wife is about to give birth in a month, he proposed to walk to Liping County, at least there are more opportunities to contact the outside world, and the recovery of traffic must also start from the county seat and then slowly extend to the towns and villages below.

Pony immediately agrees, he has standard network trustworthiness, and the days of no power and internet connection are about to suffocate him. Lao Liu Laocheng was serious, only worriedly calculating the distance and the time it would take to walk, and was noncommittal.

If she was traveling with a travel friend, Xin Chen would have been willing to try hiking, but at the moment she was wearing Converse canvas shoes, thinly dressed, and did not carry any travel equipment, not to mention that the three men were all inexperienced, she did not plan to respond to this idea.

Xin Chen thought for a while and said, "Xiao Li, you work in the government, will the government sit back and watch the towns below lose contact and ignore it?" ”

Xiao Li shook his head, "No, now the emergency mechanism must have been activated, and the emergency repair of various infrastructure should also be launched, but the weather is too bad and the speed cannot be fast." ”

"Migrant workers returned to their hometowns on foot, all of them brought supplies in the county seat, and now we are empty-handed, without the necessary equipment, walking along the road, 80 kilometers for at least four days, can we be sure that we can afford to eat only the most basic food and sleep outside?"

Lao Liu shook his head first, "It's okay to eat, with our clothes and then going to sleep in the open, we will definitely die." ”

"I'd recommend staying here and not taking unnecessary risks."

They continued to stay in this small mountain village, and the village party secretary took care of their lives, although all the vegetables were frozen to death in the ground, there was no problem with daily food, and every family had millet in storage, and after the diesel fuel was exhausted, they used the primitive method to pour the millet into a stone mortar that had been discarded long ago, and then make it into rice. The drinking water source at the edge of the village had already frozen, and the villagers simply knocked down the long icicles hanging from the eaves to turn water into water. In the only commissary in the village, they and the villagers bought almost all the goods.

At night, no matter how much I can't sleep, I can only go to bed early, and occasionally there are only a few dog barks, mixed with the creaking of the wooden roof under the weight of ice and snow, and the surrounding seems to be dead silent.

There were already houses collapsed in the village, and for their safety, the village party secretary gathered them in their own house, saying that the conditions were limited, so they could only put up four temporary beds in one room, and pull a simple curtain for Xin Chen in the corner of the house, so they naturally had no objection. There was no electricity at night, and their only entertainment was to drink some of the villagers' own wine, wrap themselves in quilts, and chat boredly until they said they were tired and went to sleep.

The snow outside the window reflected the light, and the room was not absolutely dark. At first, Pony sang the protagonist, boasting about his experience of drifting north and all kinds of sexual encounters, half-truths and half-falsehoods, and the performance was very wonderful; Lao Liu was more introverted at first, and in the past few days, he has begun to recall his life as a soldier; Xiao Li's life is very simple, after graduating from college, he entered the government to work, and when he reached the age, he got married, just waiting to be a happy father.

Xin Chen was on the other side of the curtain, not participating in their conversations, which were becoming more and more purely masculine. She had already seen more braggadocio than this on the hike, and she didn't care about it at all, thinking only about her own business.

Her last call was to her uncle, telling him where she was and where she was going next. Presumably, the loss of contact with the outside world caused by the snowstorm here has already been reported, so even if you are worried, you can understand it.

Before the mobile phone signal was cut off, Lu Fei still called her every few days and chatted casually. Suddenly I couldn't get through to her phone, I don't know what he would think. Xin Chen thought, and a little self-deprecating. What can you think? He was such a logical person, even if she was walking in a no-man's land, he could determine her whereabouts, and from the direction she finally reported, he could naturally roughly deduce her situation, knowing that she was just trapped somewhere in the southeast of Qiandong, waiting for the restoration of transportation and communication.

Every few days, the village party secretary would go to the neighboring villages to inquire about the news and bring back all kinds of rumors that I didn't know whether they were true or false.

"I heard that a military truck carrying relief supplies slid into a ravine, and the people on the car were injured and were rescued after freezing for a day and a night."

"I heard that candles in the county town have been sold for 5 yuan a piece, and the charcoal for heating is out of stock."

"I heard that it is snowing heavily all over the country, and it will be another month."

"I heard that the Yangtze River is frozen."

Several people listened listlessly, and even the last sentence of the Arabian Nights could not achieve the effect of amusement.

The connection with the outside world was interrupted by the force majeure of nature, trapped in an island-like place, in this small village, the days were monotonously repeated, day by day, but time seemed to freeze, during the day Xin Chen leaned on the brazier to read the book she carried with her, the village party secretary said how many days before the Lunar New Year, she remembered, it was about to be her birthday.

Thinking of what Lu Fei said that night, they have known each other for almost twelve years, and for her who is almost 26 years old, it is nearly half a life. She shuddered when she realized the length of time for the first time.

In such a sleepless and lonely night, Xin Chen couldn't help but think of the future from the past.

How long did it take her to get out of the huge hole he left behind? For the first time, she faced the problem, but she couldn't string together the lonely and lonely nightmarish struggles into a clear and definite time.

Even if she could hold the hands of other boys, how long did it take her to convince herself not to compare the temperature of her palms, the strength of her arms, and the smell of the other party?

What day did she finally establish her balance, from fragile to stable, she could no longer hurt herself and feel sorry for herself, she could calmly look into anyone's eyes, she could walk the road she had not walked with peace of mind, and she could quietly let nightmares come and go, just as an additional gift of sleep?

Staying with him to go the rest of the way, this proposal is destined to be unsimple, with the memories she does not want to touch, it is both sweet and terrible, it is indeed a temptation, is it really necessary to let yourself fall back into it?

The quilt provided by the village party secretary was so thick and heavy that even the pony said that he would have nightmares, not to mention Xin Chen, who had always had some sleep problems. Most of the time, she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, when she heard the heavy snoring of Master Liu from the other side of the curtain. And the dream made her feel embarrassed, maybe she thought too much before going to bed, Lu Fei often entered her dream, and in a trance, it seemed to return to the lakeside inn by Lugu Lake.

She has always refused to recall the details of that night, but the memory left by the night of greedy joy is not a simple happiness that can be passed by.

She could only think in frustration that it was her own rash behavior that held the two people closer together.

After living in the village for nearly half a month, the village party secretary finally brought back a good news on this day: "The neighboring village has already driven into the power repair engineering vehicle, and the villagers have gone up the mountain to help repair the power supply line, and the next step is to come to our village, I have to inform everyone quickly." ”

Xiao Li perked up when he heard this, "We can take their car back." ”

After two more days of waiting, the power supply bureau's car drove in slowly wrapped in snow chains, and together with the villagers, the power poles were re-erected and the lines were connected, but the power supply was not restored immediately. It just so happened that they had run out of emergency repair materials and were about to return, and after Xiao Li showed his work permit, the driver agreed to take them back.

Several people said goodbye to the village party secretary and squeezed into the car, the road was still icy and snowy, and the engineering truck drove back to Liping County with difficulty and slowly, and they went to the government guest house to stay.

The situation in the county town is slightly stronger than in the towns below, the units equipped with generators maintain power supply and normal work for at least a few hours a day, communication has been restored, and several people are rushing to call home, almost crying with joy.

Xin Chen dialed Lu Fei's mobile phone, and the prompt showed that he was not in the service area. She didn't care, and hurriedly borrowed light to charge her mobile phone, and several people got together and began to discuss what to do next. Xiao Li has already contacted the leadership, and all government departments are currently busy with disaster relief, obviously there is no way to care about the shooting of the album, and the meteorological department warns that the rain and snow will continue. He suggested contacting the car to return to Kaili tomorrow and wait until after the Spring Festival to continue working. Xin Chen and Xiaoma also reported the situation to Yan Xuhui, and Yan Xuhui was greatly relieved to receive their call, and naturally had no objections, so they just went home for the New Year with peace of mind.

They waited another day in the county seat before they got on the bus and returned to Kaili, Xiao Li rushed home to visit his wife, and the local government dispatched another car to take Xin Chen and Xiao Ma to Guiyang. Only then did they know that the snowstorm was so widespread that it affected central and southern China, and that Guiyang Airport could only be opened intermittently after de-icing, and Xin Chen waited at the airport for nearly a day before finally boarding the plane home.

When she landed in the city where she was born, she was surprised to find that it had also become a snowy northern scene, taking the airport bus into the city, along the way only to see thick snow shoveled and piled on both sides of the road, and the roofs near and far were white, which did not look like the city where she was born and lived for more than 20 years.

There were children having snowball fights in the yard where Xin Di lived, Xin Chen got out of the taxi, and a snowball was thrown over and smashed on her shoulder, several children laughed, she was naturally not annoyed, only laughed and dusted off.

After going upstairs, she took the key to open the door and called Uncle and Xin Di respectively. Xin Kaiming breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally time to go home for the New Year, it's not bad, your father should be able to come back in a few days, rest at home, and come over to eat with Xiaodi in the evening." ”

Xin Di's reaction was the same, "Finally back, I called and scolded Yan Xuhui so much that I actually sent you on such a business trip." ”

"Hey, be careful of smashing my job." Xin Chen was funny, knowing that Yan Xuhui had never been able to parry in front of Xin Di.

"He was also scared, and he called me every day to report what he learned, this time you seem to have been in Guizhou for almost a month, right?"

"yes, I'm lucky to have come back so smoothly."

"Well, Somei's business personnel have been stranded all over the south for a terrible time. You have a good rest, Vivan and I will come home and pick you up in the evening. ”

Putting down the phone, Xin Chen went to take a shower and change clothes, and then walked to the balcony and looked downstairs, where the children were still playing vigorously in the snow after vacation. She remembered that when she was a child, she had hardly seen such a heavy snowfall, and it was a surprise that the snow occasionally fell so that it could accumulate in a thin layer.

At that time, they were also so frolicking, collecting snow everywhere, rolling snowballs and having snowball fights, and having a lot of fun. She had chased Lu Fei under the two acacia trees in the courtyard, trying to shove the snow into his collar, and he held her cold red hand and smiled indulgently as she did to the children.

As soon as she returned, memories came back naturally, but she didn't feel bothered. If she didn't even have such memories, her life would have been a real blank.

She picked up her phone and called Lu Fei again, this time hearing a prompt to turn it off.

A few days later, Xin Kaiming came back with Bai Hong, stayed at the eldest brother's house, and was warmly received. The snow stopped for a while, and it was not until before the Spring Festival that it slowly stopped, and this rare snow disaster came to an end. Spend your holidays eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and then buy your own return tickets.

When Xin Chen arrived at the airport, he received a call from Lu Fei, and his voice seemed very distant, "Xiao Chen, where are you now?" ”

Xin Chen called him twice during this time, all of them were turned off, and Xin Di talked about him when chatting, "I'm not local, I should go to my parents' place for the New Year." "Do I need to turn off my phone when I go home for the New Year? She had faint doubts, but she really didn't have a position to investigate them in detail.

"I'm at the airport, I'll go back to Beijing right away."

Lu Fei sighed, paused for a while before saying, "Okay, let's get back in touch." ”

When I got in touch again, it was a few days later, but it was just a few words. Lu Fei didn't talk about her life in Guizhou for a month, nor did she mention her whereabouts, so Xin Chen naturally didn't ask.

The work of the studio is full after the holidays, and there is often overtime, and the busy time is always rushed. When Xin Di came to Beijing to participate in the clothing expo held at the end of March every year, Xin Chen was shocked to realize that the spring in the north was late, and this long and cold winter was finally over.

Four years ago, this was the time when she came to Beijing to look for a job, and left in a hurry in the wind and sand.

Four years have passed, the seasons have changed, and even if the youth has not grown old, it has shed the last bit of innocence; The weather in the city is still dry and the skies are still gray, but it is said that the past two years have been relatively rare for such sandstorms.

She finally settled in the city, going to work, getting off work, going out with colleagues for fun, meeting new hikers, and living a quiet life.

Xin Chen and Xin Di made an appointment for dinner, and Xin Di talked about Lu Fei: "He seems to be very busy with work, and I haven't seen him for a long time, and I often say that I am on a business trip when I talk on the phone." ”

Xin Chen's phone contact with him was not frequent, and she did not answer the topic.

"The place where you originally lived has started piling and building a shopping plaza, and I plan to invest in a shop, and come out to do a studio in the future, and the shop will be connected to a more high-end dress design customization."

"Does this conflict with your job?"

"I talked to Lao Zeng about this idea, and he tentatively agreed that after the design of this season is completed, he will resign from the position of design director and undertake the design of each season's clothing in the name of the studio, so that I can get rid of administrative affairs and have a much higher degree of control and freedom in design."

Xin Chen knew that Xin Di wanted to become an independent designer for more than a day or two, but her parents kept objecting, "What are you going to tell Uncle and Aunt?" ”

"I'm not going to tell them yet." Xin Di had obviously been planning this for a long time, and said lightly, "Anyway, I will sign a contract with Suomei to provide the design they want, which is no different from before." It's just that it takes money to set up a studio and invest in a shop, and my money is all in my mother's, which is a bit troublesome. Vivan supported my decision, saying that he was willing to invest with me, and I had not yet decided whether to get involved with him. ”

"I have the demolition money in hand that I haven't used, if you want to use it, just tell me that before you get married, it's not good to have financial dealings with men."

Xin Di smiled and patted her hand, "Well, Tatsuko, I know, I'll think about it again, and I won't be polite when I need to talk to you." Actually," she hesitated, her voice lowered, "he proposed to me. ”

Xin Chen was a little surprised, and looked at his cousin's slightly red face with interest, "Do you agree?" ”

"Of course not. To be honest, he is very good, I get along with him very happily, I am afraid that if I really get married, I will not have the tacit understanding now. ”

"You don't think marriage is the grave of love, do you?"

"I don't know if love will be buried in marriage, at least marriage represents commitment and responsibility. I just think that getting married is like being a design director, with a good name, and when you say it, you are no longer an older leftover girl, and you can give an explanation to your parents and curious people. Correspondingly, there will be a lot of things, so that the two of us will no longer get along with each other, and it will inevitably delay my time and energy to do design. ”

Xin Chen smiled dumbly, she thought, Dai Weifan probably never thought that he would hold his marriage in front of a woman but not be taken seriously, it seems that he has to work hard a lot. And her cousin is enjoying love, which is enough, "I have no idea what marriage is all about, I don't express my opinion, anyway, if you want to use money, just remember to come to me first." ”

The photos taken by Pony in the village of Liping were delivered, and as expected, he received an important award for social documentary photography, and Yan Xuhui was of course busy adding this award to the studio's promotional materials. After the advertising shooting was over, Yan Xuhui sent Xiaoma to continue to Qiandongnan to complete the rest of the filming work, this time Xin Chen had a lot of work at hand, and he brought a full-time photography assistant over.

More than half a month later, Xiaoma came back from filming and handed over the picture data to Xin Chen for processing, "The impact of this snow disaster is really big, and it is said that some remote mountainous areas will not fully restore power supply until this month." ”

"Yes, there is only one road to the outside world, and it is really difficult to maintain, I don't know how the village we are staying in is doing now."

"I brought the money to the village party secretary," before Xiaoma left, Xin Chen handed him 2,000 yuan, and asked him to bring it over and donate it to the small village where they lived for half a month, Xiaoma immediately said that he would donate the same amount of money, "I heard him say that he plans to ask for everyone's opinions and subsidize a few villagers whose houses have collapsed, and he also asked me to thank you." Oh, by the way, the day after we left, someone went to the village to inquire about you. ”

Xin Chen was stunned, "Who?" ”

"It's a soldier who transports disaster relief supplies, saying that he was entrusted by someone to find you along the road to that village. The old secretary is quite gossipy, and only after digging into the bottom did he know that a week before we left, didn't a truck overturn in the ravine in front of us? A friend of yours was brought in in the car, and they were injured and sent to the county for rescue, and your friend was still not at ease in the hospital, so he asked a group of people to come in to find you and want to take you out. ”

After the pony walked away, Xin Chen froze at the computer, she was completely stuck in a non-working state during working hours for the first time, her mind wandered, her mind was numb, but she didn't know where she was thinking. Only one voice echoed in her heart: he had gone to her, and they had come so closeβ€”in a mountain village, on a hill away; In the county seat, separated by a few streets.

After some time, she picked up her phone and walked to the stairwell and dialed Lu Fei's number. Lu Fei's mobile phone turned into a global call state, and she could only come back, collect her mind and continue to work. When it was almost time to get off work, Lu Fei called her back: "I'm sorry, Xiaochen, I just finished a meeting." ”

She didn't know what to say, holding the phone silently, Lu Fei said suspiciously: "Xiaochen, what's wrong?" ”

"What did you hurt? How's it going? She asked in a hoarse voice.

Lu Fei was also stunned, and paused for a while before saying, "It's okay for a long time." ”

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Fei obviously stopped, and paused for a while, "It's over." ”

This answer angered Xin Chen, she took a deep breath and said in a flat tone: "It's good to pass, I hope you are fully recovered, goodbye." ”

When he came out of work, Xiaoyun asked Xin Chen with great interest: "Where are you going to play on May Day?" ”

She was absent-minded, "Three days off, where can I go?" Maybe go to the Gubeikou Jinshanling Great Wall. ”

She happened to meet Lao Zhang, the leader of the tour of northwest Yunnan last year, in a weekend hike, talking about not going to the Great Wall seriously, Lao Zhang laughed, and said to go to the route he said to hike, you can see a relatively complete section of the Great Wall, there are relatively few tourists, the scenery is also good, you can stay in the farmhouse, two days is enough.

Xiaoyun shook his head, "I really can't understand the happiness of donkeys, it's better for me to be a pig." ”

She was amused, "Goodbye, happy pig." ”

On the day of the holiday, Xin Chen got up early, put on a light backpack and went to Dongzhimen, where he met Lao Zhang and the others, preparing to take a long-distance bus to Miyun, where he changed cars to Gubeikou.

Lao Zhang Zheng told them about the trip from Lugu Lake to Aden last year: "I caught a big hail at the Dak Valley Pass, and then there was a snowstorm overnight, and my brother and I almost lost my life there, which was the most thrilling hike in my career." ”

There was a delicate girl with a yearning face, "What a rare experience." ”

Lao Zhang smiled bitterly, "Little sister, if you want to be there, you won't say this, frostbite is really not fun!" We were lucky enough to find a campsite, which, despite the wind leaking on all sides, was better than pitching a tent outside in the snow, and I heard that in previous years a donkey had frozen on that road and had to have its leg amputated. ”

The water bottle in Xin Chen's hand fell to the ground, and someone next to her picked it up and handed it to her, and she said mechanically, "Thank you." ”

Lao Zhang counted the number of people, "It's almost here, let's get on this train." ”

Everyone got into the car, and Xin Chen suddenly said: "I'm sorry Lao Zhang, I'm not going, I'm going beforehand, goodbye." ”
