Between the valleys, the water is murmuring. Because of the heavy rain, it was wet everywhere, on the leaves, in the dirt, on the rock surface...... Xiao Qiongyan and his party walked through the depths of the dense forest.

"Do you see clearly? Is it over here? Xiao Qiongyan asked angrily. Su Yan was succinct: "Yes." The commander held the individual and jumped out of the crack in this direction. ”

At this time, Lin Jie, who was walking in the front, suddenly paused, and said in a lost voice: "There!" ”

The people followed the sound, and saw a lonely and flowing pool of water, lying on his back on a boulder when it was cold, as if all his strength had been exhausted, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his tail and ears were not revealed. Xie Jinzhi was hugged by him with one hand, lying on his chest, and he was also motionless.

Everyone hurriedly ran over, Xiao Qiongyan probed the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, they are still alive." ”

An hour later, they said goodbye to Fu Congsi in a wood.

After Fu Congsi was thrown into the crack by Xia Qingzhi, he fell to the ground in a blink of an eye. Although he was exhausted and had multiple bruises on his body, he was fine.

At this moment, his face was pale, and his eyes were red as he looked at Xiao Qiongyan and the others.

Xiao Qiongyan said, "Professor Fu, we're going back to that space." The Commander and Xiao Zhi haven't woken up yet, and they need to be treated. In addition, according to the address information left by Xia Qingzhi in the tent, we found the chip at her house and took it with us. ”

Fu Congsi nodded, as if he had a thousand words, but in the end he just said, "Thank you for everything you have done for this space." Take care. ”

Everyone replied in unison, "Take care." ”

Fu Congsi watched them turn around and walk towards the fighter plane parked in the clearing. Soon, the fighter plane was like a bright meteor, streaking across the blue sky after the rain and disappearing.

Fu Congsi's surroundings were quiet, he lowered his head and saw the grass stained with water droplets, swaying slightly in the wind. Overhead, there is the crisp call of birds. He turned around and staggered down the hill.

It was the afternoon scene, and the streets of the city were full of traffic and lively. It's just that his clothes have long been eroded and torn by the flood, and his expression is in a trance, so many people see him and walk away.

He saw people's reactions and just smiled faintly. As he walked past an electrical appliance store, he stopped and heard the news on the TV:

"At 2:30 p.m. today, some netizens broke the news that they saw several U~FO in the western suburbs and provided me with a blurry picture. Let's take a look at ......."

"Is there really a U~FO? This topic has been inconclusive in the scientific community. However, after investigation, most of the photos and videos of the so-called UFOs were faked, or the witnesses mistook the plane or even the kite for U~FO......"

"To this end, our station has specially consulted a well-known astrophysics expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Experts say that the existence of U~FO is possible. However, the so-called 'U~FO' witnessed by many netizens this afternoon is likely to be some phantoms caused by thunder and lightning weather and refracted light from clouds. It turns out that the truth is as simple as that. Here, we solemnly remind the general public that in thunderstorms, please pay attention to safe travel......"

"It turns out that the truth is so simple......" Fu Congsi silently recited this sentence in his mouth, slowly shaking his head and laughing.

When he reached the fork in the road, he stopped.

He didn't know where to go.

In the past few years, he has lived in the Shen family. Now that the Shen father and son have died, the manor has been destroyed, and it has become an unsolved case of the local police. The Shen family can't and doesn't want to go.

When it was cold, they were already gone. The youth hostel that temporarily settled down was also empty.

And Qing Zhi ...... Tears welled up in his eyes, and he didn't even know where this poor and respectable woman lived, and what her home looked like.

In the end, he was ignorant and walked outside the research institute where he used to work.

This is one of the best research institutes in the country. Elegant buildings, serious and tidy buildings. There is also a large plane tree at the door, and it is still flourishing.

He sat down on the ground under a tree. I finally understood why I came back here.

He was also a respectable and respectable researcher who was respected by all. Once, resisting the flood to build Noah's Ark was his tenacious and stubborn dream.

Today, that dream has finally come true. So he came back here, and he could say to himself with no shame that he did it.

As he was sitting quietly, he saw several people walking out of the gate of the institute. Most of them didn't see him, or they didn't recognize him. Only a colleague who was once familiar with him looked at him hesitantly, then took a few steps behind and walked over: "Fu Congsi? ”

He didn't even want to get up, looked up at him, and smiled: "I am." ”

The colleague was very surprised, looked him up and down, and asked, "How did you become like this...... What are you doing now? ”

He calmly replied, "Nothing more." ”

The colleague sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cong Si, if you are not happy outside, go back to the office." You're the best qualified of our crew. The leaders of the hospital also often think of you, and if you come back, you must also have a place. You see, you've always said that this summer, there will be a devastating flood, and you talk about parallel space, all that science fiction stuff. You see, now that the summer is over, isn't there still nothing happening? No one will die because of the disaster. Listen to me and come back. ”

Who knew that after Fu Congsi heard his words, he smiled, stumbled to his feet, but tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yes, nothing happened...... No one will die. He repeated his colleague's words, crying and laughing, shook off his colleague's hand, turned and walked down the long, tree-lined street.

The colleague looked at his lonely figure, was silent for a long time, and scolded in a low voice: "Neurotic! ”

Fu Congsi walked along the street all the way, the traffic shuttled along the way, and the sun was shining. There were hugging couples walking past him, and the smiles on their faces were so happy; There are also old people who look at children with doting faces, laughing and running under the blue sky. This world is still noisy and quiet.

Fu Congsi looked at it, and suddenly smiled, smiling with satisfaction.

A few months later, Fu became an ordinary middle school teacher, teaching physics and mathematics. All his life, in obscurity. However, he has cultivated countless outstanding students, and several of them have become famous astrophysicists in China.

That's an afterword.

——

"Xiaozhi."

"Yes."

"Wake up, the seriously injured commander is still waiting for you to take care of it."

"Know, when will you wake up?"

……

In the haze, Xie Jinzhi heard someone shouting to himself. It was the voice of two people, chattering and arguing in her ear all the time.

Her head ached, and she wanted to turn off her ears and stop listening to them.

Wait a minute......

Commander? When it's cold?

……

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a plain, familiar ceiling. The sun was shining from the side, and she saw the calm waters of the lake outside the window.

This is...... Home in the cold?

On the side of the bed, Xiao Qiongyan's tall and sturdy metal body was busy with his back to her. Hearing the slight noise on the bed, his body stiffened suddenly, turned his head to look at her, and showed a surprised smile: "Xiaozhi! You're finally awake! ”

Jinzhi smiled shallowly and sat up on the bed: "We're back?" ”

Xiao Qiongyan immediately ran over to support her: "Yes, we are back." You lie down for two days and two nights, and you have to move slowly, or you'll fall. ”

Jinzhi grabbed his arm and looked up at him: "What about the cold?" ”

Xiao Qiongyan's eyes drooped: "Still in a coma." Xiao Zhi, you should not be sad when you see it for a while, he is much more injured than you. ”

Jinzhi jumped out of bed at once: "Take me to meet him." ”

——

Push open the door of the room and see the silence of the sun in the room. Zhuang Chong, Su, Daniel and others learned that she woke up and came over. But they stood outside the door of Ying Han with Xiao Qiongyan and didn't follow up to disturb them.

Jinzhi walked into the room alone.

He lay on a large white bed covered with a thin quilt. Jinzhi had never seen him like this, his upper body was undressed, revealing lean, strong shoulders covered with bandages. The black hair fell down his forehead, covering his eyebrows. The eyes were lightly closed, and the breathing was slow and even.

Jinzhi sat down on the edge of his bed, staring at him unmovingly. I wanted to touch him, but I was afraid to make him uncomfortable.

"Rest assured, the commander only broke twelve bones." Xiao Qiongyan whispered at the door, "And his body is recovering quickly, and it will grow well in a few days." ”

Broken...... Twelve?

She stared at his excessively pale face. In the same way, she was in his arms, but not a single bone was broken. Or even just a little flesh wound.

He used his body to block all the floods for her.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" She asked.

"This ...... The impact force of the flood is indeed too great, and in the end, it is flesh and blood, and the brain will not be able to stand it. He may be in a coma for a few more days. ”

Jinzhi let out a soft "oh" and looked up, only to see half a broken piece of paper placed next to his pillow. There are a few words on it: "I wish to grow old with a white head in the cold." She remembered that this card was put in his shirt pocket by him, probably taken out by Xiao Qiongyan and them.

"Xiaozhi, kiss him." Zhuang Chong, who was standing behind Xiao Qiongyan, suddenly spoke, "Kiss it, maybe you'll wake up." ”

Daniel and Su both smiled slightly, and Xiao Qiongyan's eyes lit up: "Really, really, really?" I want to see what I want to see......" but was pulled away by Zhuang Chong, and then Zhuang Chong nodded solemnly towards Jinzhi, closed the door, and blocked all disturbing sights for her.

The interior became quiet.

Jinzhi looked at his clear face, was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

He remained motionless, still asleep. The picture of the princess waking up the prince with a kiss does not appear.

Jinzhi took off his shoes, climbed into bed, and lay down as well. Then gently grasped one of his hands, curled up beside him, and slowly closed his eyes.

"When it's cold, wake up quickly, I want to be with you. Everything you want, you're given. ”
