Chapter 51: Warmth
Jiang Xiaoqiao went to check the refrigerator and microwave oven, and reluctantly announced that there was no electricity, and the backup generator seemed to have a problem.
In this case, there is no gas stove here, and the problem they will face is much more serious.
Xiao Zhan found the tools in the toolbox, stuffed them into the pocket of his coat outside, put on his hat, and the movement of the scarf surprised Jiang Xiaoqiao.
"What are you going to do?"
She stood in the way.
"I don't know when this snow will stop, the best thing to do is for me to fix it, I saw it just now, and it still works normally, so it's definitely not a big problem, but we just rely on the fire in the fireplace to keep warm, it's definitely impossible to eat, it's not a way to go on like this! I've checked that the generator has enough fuel for another two winters, so I'll have to check it out! He said seriously, this is a way that cannot be refused, both of them have seen the wind and snow outside, who knows how long this cold front will last.
"You're crazy! Something will happen in this kind of weather, I have just seen that the generator is at least 500 meters away from here, and with such a strong wind, it is easy for you to go out and not come back! I'd rather go hungry and cold than your life. She calculated the risks she would take.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you here alone!" Xiao Zhanwan'er saw the vigorous Jiang Xiaoqiao pointing at him, and suddenly felt a sense of resurrection, she didn't pay much attention to him all day today, and now she finally regained her vitality.
"You know I didn't mean that, I'll go with you!" Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't tolerate watching others take risks and ignored them.
"Obedient, this is what a man should do, you wait well!" Xiao Zhan flatly refused,
Her rebuttal was not allowed at all, and the door had been opened and the wind poured in! Almost slammed the door on the wall, the snowflakes were blown into the house by the fierce wind, quickly absorbing the warmth of the house, Xiao Zhan pulled his hat and walked out.
Jiang Xiaoqiao could only pant and resist the unruly wind, closed the door hard, bolted the door bolt, and looked at the figure that had been submerged in the wind and snow through the glass window. Now the visibility is already very low, not even five meters can be done, and she is worried that Xiao Station will encounter danger.
This is a mountainous area, the terrain is unfamiliar to the two of them, and with such a violent snowstorm, any accident will bring mortal danger.
But now she didn't seem to have anything to do but sit on the couch in front of the fireplace and pray.
She could only hope that Xiao Station was strong enough, and the problem with the generator was just a minor problem that could be solved quickly.
On the way back to the hut, the snow was so low that you couldn't reach your hand to see clearly, and the wind began to blow the snow up, obscuring the original terrain. The hut turned into a Christmas house in the snow, and with no clear road to guide him, he struggled through the howling snow with his sense of direction.
Fortunately, the lights in the windows are like lights to guide the way.
Jiang Xiaoqiao was relieved to find that the light was on, which proved that Xiao Station had succeeded.
She took a blanket and waited by the door, the bolt on the door had been removed, and as soon as she saw him, she opened the door and let him in.
Time passed minute by minute, but she never heard any sound, which made her heart beat wildly and her palms sweaty.
The sudden sound of the impact made her cheer up, and the moment she opened the door, a white object slammed directly into her, and the two of them staggered back together, then collapsed on the wooden floor.
It's Xiao Station.
Jiang Xiaoqiao just started with the blanket in her hand and her arms through his armpits, trying to drag him over the threshold and close the door, but the problem was that she only dragged a little distance with all her strength, and the raging snow slapped on her face, as if she had been slapped a few times.
The slender body was obliquely thrust into the wind, dragging Xiao Station hard, and finally, with his cooperation, the two of them entered the house, closed the door, and bolted the door.
"How are you now? Can you hear me? Jiang Xiaoqiao frantically brushed away the snow blocks that were frozen on his clothes and scarf.
He felt her panic, for he had felt that way himself, feeling as if he was going to stay outside forever in the snow.
"I almost couldn't come back just now!" He said with a stiff face.
She looked up at his frost-stained face.
"You have to stay warm, or you'll get frostbitten."
Wiping the snow from his eyes, his skin was pale from the cold, his lips were frozen blue, his clothes below his thighs were soaked, and a thin layer of ice was attached to it.
She helped him take off the wet clothes on his body as much as possible, the thick gloves were taken off first, then the coat, and took advantage of this time to check whether his hands were frostbitten, Xiao Zhan trembled and tried to cooperate with her movements, and took great effort to take off the boots from his feet, the socks inside were already soaked and frozen, unfastening his belt, obviously the thawed belt and trouser zipper were a challenge for both of them.
Apparently, the hot air from the fireplace in the room made him quickly regain his strength, and he quickly took off all his clothes. Wrap himself tightly with a blanket, his clothes are already soaked, it is useless for him now, he accidentally planted a puddle on the way back just now, and in this bad weather, a small puddle has become a trap for him.
The towel she had prepared came in handy, and he hurried to the kitchen to microwave the towel, and came back with the hot towel, wrapping his head in front of the fireplace, the warmth of his head was the most important thing, and he moaned faintly between his lips.
"I'm going to get you a quilt!" She murmured a whisper that had to warm him up as quickly as possible.
"Don't go!" Xiao Zhan pulled her into the blanket, sharing her body temperature was the best way to drive away the cold.
She snuggled up to his cold body and tried to pass on her body temperature to him, damn it! His body was so cold, she massaged his arms and shoulders hard, resting his hands under her warm armpits, and trying up and down to warm him up and down to promote blood circulation.
She was relieved to see that his lips weren't so blue.
He grabbed her and wrapped her in his arms, his cheek on top of her head for a long time. She hugged his waist and let herself wallow in his closeness. He came back, unharmed. They didn't say anything, they didn't have to say anything, they just hugged each other.
"I'm going to make a hot cup of coffee, or hot cocoa." She had to leave, just now she remembered that there was coffee and cocoa in the kitchen cupboard, hot drinks would help him a lot, and she needed coffee to calm her down a bit.
He nodded, a little tired, the warmth after the cold would make people sleepy, his eyes were glazed, the tremors on his body gradually disappeared, and drowsiness began to grab him.
And he knew very well that no one would visit their house in such a snowstorm, so he allowed himself to relax for a while while it was safe to do so.
