What is happiness? For the third lady of the former Shangshu Mansion, happiness was a pack of sweet preserves that her sixth brother brought her when he came back from a foreign country. It was a heavy purse filled with gold and silver coins that she received on New Year’s Eve. . Later, when I arrived here, I was happy to have a table of delicious food cooked by Liu Chunzhi himself, and to know all the questions that appeared on the test paper. Happiness becomes simpler after I go to work. I can eat on time and sleep well during my breaks. A family that is reunited and healthy is happiness.
While sleeping until midnight, Li Wei suddenly woke up. Her head was groggy, her whole body was hot, and her throat seemed to be on fire. After being frozen for a while, I really caught a cold. It was all my own fault and I couldn’t blame anyone else.
Li Wei remembered that there was a bottle of cold medicine in her bag. She reached out and touched the light switch and found the medicine to take. After eating, he lay down again in a daze.
Qiu Ci woke up around eight o'clock the next day. Today was the last day to go to the ski resort, and he would leave here tomorrow. She got dressed, but saw that Li Wei was still sleeping. She went over and called Li Wei.
"Wei, why don't you get up? We'll be leaving soon."
Li Wei turned over and said, "I have a cold and I can't go today."
Qiu Ci heard Li Wei's voice growling, and she touched Li Wei's forehead again. He still had a fever. She asked worriedly: "You are really sick. You must have suffered a lot last night when you ran out wearing so little clothes. Should I take you to a doctor?"
Li Wei said: "I took the medicine and will be fine after lying down for a while."
"oh… "
There was a knock on the door outside. Qiu Ci hurriedly opened the door, only to see Xiao Gao outside.
Xiao Gao urged: "It's time to pack up and leave. The car is waiting for us downstairs."
"Why is it so early today?"
"I said I wanted to leave early because I was worried that there would be heavy traffic on the road."
"Well, we'll go down after a while." Qiu Ci closed the door again. She walked to Li Wei's bed and saw Li Wei lying on the bed without moving. She left the sick Li Wei to play alone. Qiu Ci I felt a little sorry. During the year they were in the UK, the two of them had always lived in the same dormitory, and Li Wei usually took care of them. When Qiu Ci was hesitating, Li Wei opened his eyelids and saw that Qiu Ci was still in front of him, so he said, "I heard Xiao Gao calling you, why haven't you left yet?"
"You're already sick. How can I trust you to stay here alone? I won't go today." Qiu Ci finally made a decision.
Li Wei sat up. She felt uneasy and said hurriedly: "I just have a slight cold. Besides, I brought medicine. You can't help me here, and it's delaying you. Go ahead, I'll have it tomorrow." It’s time to go back. I don’t know when I’ll be able to ski here again.”
"I… "
"Hey, I'm really fine. Maybe I'll feel better in the afternoon. Go, I can't go, please play for me for a while." Li Wei urged her again and again.
Qiu Ci felt that it was heartless to leave like this. Li Wei said again and again: "Go, I'm fine. If I feel better in the afternoon, I will go to the ski resort to meet you. I still miss the smell of the hot cocoa at the bottom of the mountain. Let's go I had to have another drink beforehand.”
Li Wei could still smile at her, and Qiu Ci thought to herself that it wasn't serious. She had lived up to Li Wei's expectations, so she packed her bag and prepared to go out.
"Then I'll leave first. If you feel better, you must come back."
"Well, go ahead. I'm fine." Li Wei nodded in agreement.
Qiu Ci went out with some anxiety. When she walked downstairs, she gave special instructions to the owner of the hotel and asked him to bring some boiled water up.
"Boiling water?!" The boss was a little confused, so Qiu Ci had to explain in a hurry that he just boiled the water and sent it over.
Although the boss found it troublesome, he still agreed.
The room became quiet. Li Wei got up and went to the toilet, but he felt top-heavy and limp. He had no strength at all, and he had no appetite.
She still went back to bed to sleep. In her daze, someone knocked on the door. She struggled to get up again, put on a coat and went to open the door. It turned out that it was the boss's wife who brought her hot water. British people don't have the habit of drinking boiled water. Qiu Ci must have told her this. She felt that she was causing trouble to others, so she expressed her gratitude again and again.
Then went back to sleep. She didn't know how long it took before her body finally started to sweat, and she felt more comfortable.
Today is Christmas, and it is a lively time outside, but this liveliness does not belong to her. Li Wei tossed and turned, even after she lay down in the back, she didn't want to lie down anymore. I simply got up and took a hot shower and dried my hair. Then I drank a lot of hot water, and my groggy feeling was slightly better, but my throat was still uncomfortable and I still had a low fever.
She glanced at the clock on the bedside. It was already past eleven noon. She hadn't eaten breakfast. It was already noon. Would she like to go find something to eat to fill her stomach? But right now she just wanted to drink a bowl of hot food. gruel.
Li Wei took down the coat hanging on the shelf and planned to go out for a walk to see if he could find anything to eat. If she was in better spirits, she could go to the ski resort again in the afternoon.
She combed her hair, put on her bag, changed her shoes and was about to go out when the phone in the room suddenly rang. Who will call? !
Li Wei walked over and answered the phone: "Hello..."
But a voice that was about to cry came from the other side: "Wei Wei, we encountered an avalanche and Xiao Gao disappeared. What should we do?"
Li Wei was shocked and asked quickly: "Why are you missing? Did you call the police?"
"There was a sudden big avalanche. The fire department has been notified here to come to the rescue. Will Xiao Gao be okay?"
Qiu Ci's voice was urgent, and Li Wei comforted her: "It will be okay, maybe somewhere else. Just wait for the rescue."
After hanging up the phone from Qiu Ci, Li Wei was still restless. We are all colleagues who went to study abroad together, and we are a complete group. We will go back soon. What if something happens
She no longer cared about much, and immediately made up her mind to go to the ski resort.
Li Wei put on thick gloves and pulled down his hat, covering most of his face, leaving only his two eyes exposed.
Li Wei was ready to go out and stood at the street corner to hail a taxi. However, it was not easy to get a taxi at all. He finally got an empty taxi, but he heard that the person going to the ski resort was unwilling to take him. She stood there for almost half an hour, and finally stopped another car. The driver originally didn't want to go, but Li Wei repeatedly asked, saying that a friend was missing and wanted to rush over to take a look. The driver may have been moved by Li Wei, and finally replied: "Okay, I can pull you over, but I can't reach the inside of the ski resort. I heard that it has been blocked because of the avalanche, and no outside cars are allowed in for fear of delaying rescue."
"It's okay, just drive as far as you can."
