When I returned to Fengtian City, I slept all day, and I didn't wake up until more than three o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as I looked at my phone, it was about to be blown up. There were a total of 37 missed calls, of which 21 were from Xiao Qicai, 10 were from Li Mengzhu, and the other 6 were Ke Weipeng.

I thought to myself that I came just in time, I was about to look for you, so I immediately called Ke Weipeng back as soon as possible. After the mobile phone earpiece rang twice, Ke Weipeng answered, but did not speak. He doesn't speak, I don't speak, we just consume it.

I don't know how long it took, Ke Weipeng finally couldn't help but say, "Xiaohe, it's me." Still angry? ”

I asked lightly, "What do you say?" ”

Ke Weipeng whispered, "Actually, after that day, I thought about it, and what you said did make sense. Perhaps, I really blame you. Since he said so, I pushed the boat down the river, simply gave him a step down, sighed deliberately, and said, "No, perhaps, you really blame me." ”

Ke Weipeng said tentatively, "Why don't you come out and have two drinks?" ”

I readily agreed, "Okay, let's go back to the last place, let's have a good talk!" ”

Ke Weipeng looked very happy and said, "OK! ”

Later, while getting dressed quickly, he called Xiao Qicai and Li Mengzhu back separately and asked them what was going on.

Xiao Qicai said, "It's nothing, I just want to see if you have come back from Changbai Mountain, don't run into an avalanche again!" It can be seen that this incident will affect her for a month before she can recover. I joked with her, "What's so scary about avalanches, blood avalanches are scary!" ”

Little Colorful asked me, "What are you talking about?" ”

I explained to her, "It means that I wasn't afraid of your menstrual collapse last time, and I wasn't afraid of avalanches!" ”

Xiao Qicai said, "Get out!" He just cut off the phone.

Li Mengzhu said affectionately on the phone, "Not long after we separated, I missed you a little, and I don't know what's going on." ”

After I teased her a few times, the person was already in the car. Li Mengzhu was afraid that it would affect my driving, so he also took the initiative to hang up the phone, very understanding.

More than 20 minutes later, I came to the private room last time, Ke Weipeng had already sat there early, the same table of dishes exactly the same as the last time, a bottle of expensive red wine, Ke Weipeng saw me, he immediately stood up and said, "I hope this meeting will not be as bad as last time." ”

I smiled and said, "Absolutely not!" ”

As soon as I sat down, Ke Weipeng poured me wine and said, "It's all men, don't say anything, it's all in the wine!" ”

He and I directly killed half a glass, and then he poured the wine again, and took the initiative to say, "Xiaohe, what you said last time, can you tell me in detail?" ”

I thought to myself, it seems that this guy is also very interested in Tao Ling, maybe because what I talked about last time is closely related to his profession. So I told me about the previous incident in Taojia Village, but I didn't expect Ke Weipeng to become more interested at this time, and hurriedly asked me, "Are you sure that there was no one in that village at that time?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

Ke Weipeng held his chin and pondered, "Why was Tao Ling able to live for several hours after being buried in the snow, but nothing happened?" After you left that day, I also looked through many medical books, but I didn't find them. ”

I asked, "You also think Tao Ling shouldn't be alive?" ”

Ke Weipeng looked at me, nodded, and said, "In an environment of about minus 40 degrees, the temperature of the human body will drop at a rate of about 1 degree per minute, considering the warm clothes that Tao Ling was wearing at that time, I think that in about 1 hour at most, her body temperature has dropped below 10 degrees, if she survives in this environment, the active enzymes in her body will definitely lose their activity." ”

I frowned and said, "What is an active enzyme?" ”

"Enzymes are naturally produced in the human body, and we wouldn't be able to survive without them. These active enzymes are constantly regenerating while maintaining the body's systems and protecting us from disease. They keep the body in proper condition and have a fighting effect against deadly diseases. At this point, he paused to observe my reaction, and seeing that I was listening attentively, he continued, "In fact, all kinds of processes in the human body are composed of chemical reactions, which we call metabolic reactions. Enzymes produce these metabolisms. Without these enzymes, some processes such as digestion, respiration, replication, blood clotting, and even sensory perception would not exist. Therefore, active enzymes are an important part of human survival. ”

I said, "In other words, Tao Ling should stop breathing, her blood clotted, and her body stiffened, shouldn't she?" ”

Ke Weipeng said, "Yes, and she has been buried for so long, she can't get oxygen from the outside world at all, how can she breathe?" A few minutes of severe oxygen deprivation of the brain can lead to brain death, and I really can't figure out how she survived. Even if...... Even if she has practiced Indian yoga, mystical exercises such as Taoist turtle breath will hold her breath and can enter a "dormant" state. However, after a long period of low temperature, most of the body's active enzymes will be wiped out, so when she is rescued, even if she is not dead, the light one will inevitably increase blood pressure; In the case of severe cases, the heart rate decreases, the cardinal function of thermoregulation is dysfunctional, the function of internal organs decreases dramatically, and finally loses consciousness and becomes vegetative, no matter what the result, it is impossible to have no effect at all. ”

I took a big sip of red wine, then stared into his eyes and said, "But the fact has happened, Tao Ling really didn't have anything to do, and later took us to her house, when she walked faster than anyone else, and her athletic ability was normal." ”

Ke Weipeng's expression suddenly became extremely serious and said, "That's why I lost my temper with you that day, because this matter is really strange." Unless she, she's not...... Not people! ”

What is this called, a good girl, insisting that people are not people, how did Ke Weipeng have a routine with Li Mengzhu?

Shaking my head, I reminded him, "If something doesn't make sense on the front, just say it on the other side, from the scope of your understanding, what will happen to Tao Ling at that time?" ”

Ke Weipeng thought for a while and said, "First, when she was buried in the snow, her body temperature was always above 30 °C for six or seven hours. Second, she can breathe through the snow, or she can hold her breath and put herself into a "dormant" state. ”

I carefully analyzed, "It is impossible to breathe through the snow, then it can only be turtle breath, but there is a contradiction in this place. It seems that the metabolism of the body will become extremely slow after the turtle breathes, and once the metabolism becomes slow, the blood flow will slow down, in that case, the internal organs of the human body will also enter a "slow" state, and the organs do not like to exercise, so there is no source of heat, so what does she rely on to maintain body temperature? ”

Ke Weipeng patted me lightly on the shoulder and said, "Although you are very layman, you do realize this. Probably the meaning is correct, in fact, this is indeed a very contradictory question, so I am very curious and want to understand Tao Ling's body structure immediately! ”

I smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that you don't have this opportunity, the entire village of Taojia Village, more than 50 people, up and down, all disappeared collectively and mysteriously." ”

Ke Weipeng grabbed the wine glass, leaned back in the seat, and muttered, "If you really want to find it, you will definitely find a clue." It seems that I really have to take a few days off from the dean this time. ”

We discussed this meal for more than two hours, and we did not discuss a more reasonable result. Although this time I didn't break up as unhappily as last time, Ke Weipeng and I didn't move the chopsticks for a whole table of dishes, but drank two bottles of wine, and finally I was worried about drunk driving, so I took a taxi home.

……

As soon as I entered the house, I felt the "stamina" of red wine come up, ran to the bathroom and vomited, drank a glass of honey water, and when the feeling of physical discomfort was slowly beginning to improve, the mobile phone rang, and I saw that it was Xiao Qicai calling. I slid away the phone and clicked on the hands-free function directly, and the little colorful voice immediately came into my ears, "What are you doing?" ”

I said vaguely, "I just had some wine with my friend, and now my stomach is throwing up a little uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Qicai immediately said, "I'll go see you, wait!" ”

Hanging up, I was lying on the bed in a daze and about to fall asleep when the doorbell rang, and I shook my head again to open the door. As soon as Xiao Qicai entered the house, she helped me back to the bed, and kept complaining to me, "You said you can't drink, what kind of wine do you drink?" ”

I squinted at her and said intermittently, "Are you coming to see me, or are you coming to see me?" Xiao Qicai shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about you." In the past few days, I have been bored at home, and I suddenly remembered one thing, and I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”

I casually said, "What's so urgent?" Can it be related to Tao Ling? ”

Xiao Qicai actually nodded, "It's related to Tao Ling, do you listen?" ”

My dizziness was half healed at once, and I sat up from the bed in an instant and said, "Listen, tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Qicai glared at me and said, "You are really ...... Anyway, do you remember what I said to you before we went skiing? ”

I said, "How do I know which one you said so much?" Don't sell it, let's talk about it. ”

Xiao Qicai said, "I studied in Jilin in elementary school, I said it at that time. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "And then?" ”

Xiao Qicai said, "That's why I want to go skiing in Changbai Mountain, one is for fun, and the other is to miss the environment when I was in elementary school." ”

I didn't bother to pick it up, so I just made a gesture for her to continue.

Next, Xiao Qicai told me a few things, the strange events she experienced when she was in elementary school, the more I listened, the more I felt that the protagonist in the story had some similarities with Tao Ling!
