The man's voice was deep and magnetic, and his breath was burning like fire.
Spray on the ear, like an ant nibbling.
Jiang Fuyue shrunk her neck subconsciously, and muttered in a low voice: "If you want to punish me, what will I do?"
Xie Dingyuan sighed softly, eyes widened: "Of course it's none of your business, I blame you for being too beautiful."
Jiang Fuyue blushed rarely, and suddenly closed her eyes: "I'm sleepy."
"Well, get a good night's sleep, and you can go out tomorrow."
"What if we can't get out?"
"I'll go out." There was a calming magic in the steady voice.
"good."
…
Scenic area, hall.
Uniformed policemen lined up in two rows, with police dogs on standby.
The special police of Linhuaibei District were all dispatched, and with one order, the search work started quickly.
Soon it disappeared into the night.
Civilian search and rescue teams were also in place one after another. Although they lacked the uniform momentum of the former, the tools and equipment at hand all showed their professionalism.
"Work's on, guys—"
"yes!"
The three teams spread out in three directions: southwest, northwest, and due west.
"My dear, what is the origin of these two missing people? Even the SWAT team is mobilized!"
"I heard it's Professor Xie."
"Which Professor Xie?"
"Which other Professor Xie are you talking about? Nova virus, C99 vaccine."
"My God! It turned out to be him! Don't let anything happen, our country can't do without him, whether it's biological defense or chemical warfare, half of the country is here!"
"Isn't it? Once something happens to this person, the whole of China will be shaken."
"Let's all work hard and find people as soon as possible, which can be considered a contribution to the country and the people."
"Then hurry up!"
"Walk, walk, walk..."
Both parties moved out together.
Ling Qingzhou stood in front of the window and had a panoramic view of this scene.
Yi Hansheng: "Don't worry, with Xie Dingyuan here, she will be fine."
After a while, I heard him humming: "Where are the three little ones?"
"Follow the back of the team to help."
Ling Qingzhou's eyebrows tightened: "Nonsense!"
Yi Hansheng scoffed coldly: "Speaking lightly, you go and try to stop one? Can you stop it?"
"..."
"As the saying goes, it's better to be blocked than to be blocked. Instead of letting them try to escape, it's better to let them go. Maybe it can really help."
"I'm afraid I didn't help, and added a lot of chaos."
Yi Hansheng rolled his eyes: "Your son is much more useful than you imagined. Don't think that you are the only one who can do it. You can handle things. They are not bad at all."
…
In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped again and again.
Jiang Fuyue leaned against the man's chest, and slowly curled up in her sleeping position, which was considered stretched, until she curled herself into a ball at the end.
The man who was in a light sleep suddenly opened his eyes and found the girl in his arms shaking.
His eyes froze suddenly: "Jiang Fuyue?"
"… "no response.
"Jiang Fuyue!" he continued to call.
still none.
"Jiang Fuyue! Can you hear me? Wake up!"
Finally, "... um? What's wrong?"
"You open your eyes and look at me."
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyelids with difficulty, but her pupils were blurred: "You, call me?"
"You're shaking."
"It's okay, I'm just... a bit cold."
The man subconsciously hugged her even tighter, and suddenly paused: "You have a fever!"
"... No wonder my whole body is limp and has no strength."
"Don't sleep yet." Xie Dingyuan gestured to get up.
Jiang Fuyue wrapped his arms around his waist, it was completely subconscious, like grabbing a hot water bottle that would be snatched away in winter, or the only popsicle in my hand in the scorching summer, using conditioned reflex to describe more properly—
"what you do?"
The man looked helpless: "I'm not leaving, I just want to check your legs."
If it is a high fever caused by wound inflammation, it will be troublesome.
"Why, don't you want me?"
Jiang Fuyue withdrew her hand resentfully, and argued forcefully: "I can't bear the warmth on your body."
"Oh, that's why you can't bear to bear me."
"You...you are so thick-skinned." With a weak tone, the lethality is almost equal to zero.
Xie Dingyuan smiled, with joy in the corners of his eyes: "I think your duplicity looks better than usual."
Jiang Fuyue: "..." Listen, is this what a serious person should say
The professor's personality is broken.
Xie Dingyuan got up and walked straight to the girl's feet. Due to the limited roll-up of the trouser legs, he couldn't see her entire left leg.
He was afraid that there would be other wounds, so he was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Can you take off your pants?"
Jiang Fuyue was drowsy at first, and almost fell asleep again, but when she heard this sentence, her drowsiness disappeared immediately, and she suddenly woke up—
"What did you say?!"
"Take off the pants to check the condition of the whole leg, now you can only see the calf, so..."
Jiang Fuyue gritted her teeth: "Do you have to take it off?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Yes."
"...Then take it off."
The man was surprised: "Me?"
"Yeah, I'm like this now, do you think I can take off my pants?"
Xie Dingyuan: "... oh."
Ten minutes later, the man carefully peeled off the girl's left leg from the trouser leg.
The complexion is white, the lines are well-proportioned, and there is no trace of fat.
It would be a perfect work of art if it weren't for the bruised knees and red, swollen ankles.
The tentacles warm up, delicate and soft.
Xie Dingyuan carefully inspected every place and made sure that there was no obvious trauma, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Fuyue half raised her head: "How is it?"
"It's not an inflammation of the wound, it's just a common fever."
Jiang Fuyue also heaved a sigh of relief, she knew very well what the consequences would be if the wound became inflamed in this environment.
Seriously, it is not impossible to burn into a fool, amputate or something.
"Then help me put my pants on."
"… oh."
The man put on the pants for her again without any complaints, moving lightly and lightly, trying to avoid the injury as much as possible.
When it was lifted up, it suddenly touched the thigh, and the slippery touch made the man's heart palpitate.
It was obviously freezing cold, more than ten degrees below zero, but he broke out in a hot sweat.
"… alright."
"Thanks."
"..."
Jiang Fuyue clasped her arms tightly, trembling slightly from the cold, seeing the man standing motionless in place, like a brick, she couldn't help urging: "Lie back!"
Xie Dingyuan was shocked.
Jiang Fuyue's eyes showed doubts: "?"
What is he doing
Finally adjusted his breathing and suppressed the burning heat in his body, Xie Dingyuan got up, turned back to his original position, and lay down beside Jiang Fuyue.
The girl automatically stuck to his arms.
When the heat hit her, she sighed contentedly.
Then…
The man's body, which had just relaxed not long ago, stiffened again.
Although there was no trauma, the fever continued.
Jiang Fuyue felt her eyelids drooping uncontrollably, and Xie Dingyuan kept talking in her ear: "Don't sleep, let's keep asking questions, shall we?"
"..."
"Jiang Fuyue?!"
"..."
"You open your eyes."
"Xie Dingyuan, you are so noisy."
The man breathed a sigh of relief: "Can you straighten the hair on the coconut?"
"What?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Imagine a sphere covered with hairs. Can you comb all the hairs, without leaving any tufts like cockscombs or hair-like swirls?[1]"
Jiang Fuyue blinked, "...I can't."
"Why?"
"My guess."
"Then you guessed right."
Jiang Fuyue: "Why can't all the hair be combed out? Is it related to...topology?"
"Hmm. hairy ball theorem, hairy ball theorem, have you heard of it?"
"Brouwer?"
"Yes." Xie Dingyuan nodded: "In mathematical terms, on the surface of a sphere,
A continuous unit vector field cannot exist. Extending to a higher-dimensional space means that for any even-dimensional sphere, a continuous unit vector field does not exist. [1]"
Jiang Fuyue: "If it is applied to meteorology, since the wind speed and wind direction on the surface of the earth are continuous, it can be known from the hairball theorem that there will always be a place on the earth where the wind speed is zero."
Xie Dingyuan: "Therefore, cyclones and eye of the wind are inevitable."
"It's your turn." He reminded softly.
Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "I won't play this anymore. Please help me warm my hands, okay?"
"Okay." The man didn't hesitate at all.
Warm palms passed over her bloodstained and muddy hands, put them to her mouth, and let out a soft breath.
Afraid of touching his mouth, Jiang Fuyue moved back a little.
In the next second, he was held down by Xie Dingyuan and dragged back forcibly: "Don't move."
"Hey, don't get too close, my hands are dirty..."
The man raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "I don't think so, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Fuyue: "..."
The man's palm was warm, he exhaled and rubbed, and then asked, "Is it warm?"
"No." Jiang Fuyue shook her head.
He continued to repeat the previous action: "Is it better?"
Jiang Fuyue still shook her head.
He went on again, over and over again, tirelessly.
Not only that, but he had to ask every time, and only continued after hearing the girl's answer.
Jiang Fuyue knew that he was afraid that he would fall asleep.
"… What now?"
"Well, it's warm." Jiang Fuyue nodded, staring at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
…
Time passed by, the moonlight gradually slanted, and the temperature in the cave dropped again.
For people with a fever, it is tantamount to making matters worse.
An abnormal crimson color began to appear on Jiang Fuyue's cheeks.
"Is it cold?" Xie Dingyuan didn't know how many times he asked.
"Cold." Jiang Fuyue nodded, eyebrows and eyes curved.
"dare you laugh?"
"Or am I going to cry?"
"..."
Xie Dingyuan could only laugh along, and silently hugged her even tighter.
"I want to sleep for a while, is that okay?" Jiang Fuyue asked, and Shui Lingling's black eyes blinked lightly.
It is a cuteness that has never been seen before him.
The man's heart softened: "Okay, I will guard you."
Jiang Fuyue slightly curled her lips, then closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
I didn't sleep well this time, I would wake up from time to time, and I would feel drowsy from time to time, and I would occasionally dream, and the dreams were strange, but every time I opened my eyes, I would be stared at and paid attention to by a pair of dark pupils, letting her know that there is someone who has always been there. by your side.
At that moment, all the panic and fear, confusion and uneasiness receded like a tide, and the never-before-seen peace and security filled my heart.
Jiang Fuyue seems to have never said that Xie Dingyuan's eyes are beautiful.
Black and white are distinct, like the alternation of night and day, the boundary between deep and shallow.
The creation of heavenly craftsmanship, falling into thousands of brilliance, finally condensed into such a pair of eyes that blended with arrogance and solitude, deep and solemn.
In a daze, she grabbed his hand.
Whispered: "Xie Dingyuan, after the college entrance examination..."
The man paused: "What?"
Unfortunately, she fell asleep again.
After the college entrance examination, what then
What is she going to do
…
When she woke up again, there was a white light in front of her eyes, which made Jiang Fuyue's eyes hurt.
She subconsciously half-closed her eyes to adapt to the sudden brightness.
"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came into my ears.
She suddenly raised her eyes and met the man's smiling eyes.
"what time is it?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning."
"I've been asleep for so long?!" Jiang Fuyue was startled.
"It's fine," he said.
"Then I now..."
Xie Dingyuan smiled: "The fever has subsided, and the swelling of the ankle has also subsided, and the physical fitness is good."
Jiang Fuyue tried to sit up, but the man stretched out his hand to support her lower back.
"Eh? Look, there seems to be something written on the opposite stone wall? It's blocked by vines."
Xie Dingyuan motioned her to sit down, and got up to check.
"What is it?"
"Paintings drawn in charcoal hold up well because of the protection from the sun and wind of the vines."
Jiang Fuyue said "ah", "Painting?"
Who would have the leisure to paint in a place like this
"What did you draw?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Wait, let me read it first..."
ten minutes later.
Jiang Fuyue's itching was unbearable, if she could, she would have gone to see it by herself, but it's a pity that her legs and feet are inconvenient, and it is difficult to even stand up.
"Have you finished reading?"
Xie Dingyuan turned around.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Fuyue always felt that his eyes seemed to be a few degrees brighter than before, and the light was shining.
"What, what's wrong?"
Xie Dingyuan came back, sat down, and patted his right shoulder.
Jiang Fuyue didn't understand: "Why?"
The corner of the man's mouth tightened: "... Come up."
"..."
Well, she leaned back again, as before.
Well, save effort.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't wait: "What is painted on the wall? A treasure map, or a martial arts secret book? Or a medical pharmacopoeia? A shocking secret?"
The corner of the man's mouth twitched: "You think too much."
"what is that?"
"a story."
"?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Many years ago, a man and a woman were also trapped in such a cave. The night was very cold, the woman had a fever, and the man kept talking to her to prevent her from falling asleep..."
"Isn't this me and you?"
"Cough... It's a bit like it. But that woman seems to be more serious, it's a trauma infection, because there's blood on the ground."
Jiang Fuyue: "Then?"
"The man told her a ghost story to keep her from falling asleep."
Jiang Fuyue's scalp tightened.
"What, are you afraid?"
"You're afraid," Jiang Fuyue pursed her lips, "I'm just curious, why don't you tell anything else, but tell a ghost story?"
Xie Dingyuan shook his head: "I don't know, it wasn't mentioned on the mural."
"what's next?"
"Gone."
"Huh? That's it?"
I feel lonely after hearing it.
"What about the ending?"
"The ending is that the man and woman escaped successfully and left a name and a legend for this cave."
"what name?"
"Yin Yang Cave."
Jiang Fuyue: "What about the legend?"
Xie Dingyuan: "It is said that as long as people who love each other come together, they will be happy for a long time."
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
Two more together, four thousand words.
The murals left in the cave are the hero and heroine of the author's last novel "Please Take Care of You, Young Master Quan". Here is a small cameo. I recommend everyone to go to Kangkang~ it's next door!
