The flashlight fell into the grass on the ground, and the light shot out far. Surrounded by mountains and night, Yu Nian could feel the coolness on Xie You's body, as well as the rapid ups and downs in his heart. He raised his hand and clenched Xie You's coat tightly. At this moment, the boulder that had been hanging in the air in his heart finally fell to the ground.
he came.
Yu Nian didn't know how to describe his mood. He even found that he could still maintain his composure even when the earthquake happened, and he could calmly pay attention to the surrounding situation. But now just relying on Xie You, his eyes are sore, and he has the urge to cry.
Sensing that Yu Nian's body was trembling slightly, Xie You hugged him and didn't dare to move, and asked cautiously, "Niannian, do you have any pain?"
Yu Nian raised his lips, and quickly replied, "I'm fine, I wasn't injured, maybe it was luck, a lot of rocks fell from the mountain and didn't hit me, but fell into the pool in front of me, splashing a lot of water on the ground. on me, but it’s already done.”
Yu Nian said it easily, but Xie You could think of the thrill at that time, he tightened his arms again, tightly protecting the person in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid?"
"Scared, very scared." Yu Nian replied frankly after being slightly stunned, "I still have a lot of things to do, many goals have not been achieved, and I am very afraid of death. I am afraid that I will die here." At that time, there were only two people, he and Yan Shu. , There must be a person who is calm and not flustered. But now that he saw Xie You, he realized that his fingertips were trembling uncontrollably.
As he said that, Yu Nian instinctively leaned against Xie You's chest, "It's still cold, and the temperature here starts to drop as soon as night falls. After the fire is extinguished, it's really cold."
Hearing what Yu Nian said, Xie You let go of his arms, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped it tightly around Yu Nian.
At this time, Xie You realized something, and the movement of his hand suddenly stopped, and then he quickly let go of his hand, standing on the spot, a little at a loss.
The last bit of fear was gone, Yu Nian felt amused, bent down to pick up the flashlight and held it in his hand.
On the other side, Yan Shu had already woken up, Yu Nian said with a smile, "Uncle Yan, the rescuers are here, we will be able to go up soon."
As soon as the words fell, a few beams of light approached, and Qu Xiaoran's angry scolding sound came from a distance, "Damn it, Xie Xiaoyou, are you going to die? Jump down before the road is opened, What if the road collapses on the way? What if you slipped and fell down? I know you are worried about Yu Nian, but you can't mess around!"
Xie You looked down at Yu Nian and explained in a low voice, "I didn't. I walked very carefully and didn't mess around."
Qu Xiaoran, who was wearing a thick camouflage coat, stopped in front of him and observed Yu Nian carefully with the light. Seeing that Yu Nian was wrapped in Xie You's coat and standing still, he didn't look like he was injured, and he was relieved, "Fortunately Fortunately, fortunately, you are okay!"
He endured half a sentence without saying a word—if anything happened to you, Xie You would be blinded from crying!
Yu Nian smiled and thanked, "Thank you."
Qu Xiaoran waved his hand carelessly, "I have nothing to thank, just thank the person next to you, I just followed. You don't know, when you heard that something happened to you, Xie Xiaoyou was so anxious that he almost exploded on the spot. He rushed over quickly and left everything behind, that posture, as if something really happened to you, he could tear down this mountain!"
A group of people walked up the mountain, and under the light of the flashlight, they could see the rocks on the path. Xie You hesitated for a few seconds, but still stretched out his hand, "I'll hold you."
Yu Nian didn't refuse, and put his hand up.
The two were walking at the end of the line, Qu Xiaoran glanced back, and found that Xie You had finally taken the initiative once, and Lao Huai was relieved - Zai Zai, you have finally made such a small improvement! It's not easy!
After walking for a short distance, I heard the sound of water flowing. Yu Nian remembered it and handed the bamboo tube filled with water to Xie You, "It's the spring water in this mountain. I tasted it and it was very sweet. I put it in a little bit. I want to give you a taste too." .”
Xie You took it and held it in his hand.
Stepping on the gravel, Yu Nian looked around with the light of the flashlight, "How is the situation?"
Xie You led Yu Nian, taking every step carefully, "It's not too bad. The epicenter of the earthquake was in the mountainous area, and there were no people. When I came here, I found many houses collapsed on both sides of the road, but because the population is not dense, the degree of damage is not serious. After thinking for a while, Xie You said again, "Meng Yuan lost his footing during the earthquake and fell down. He bruised his wrist and Shi Rou sprained. They have been sent to the foot of the mountain for treatment. There is no serious problem. They are all worried about you."
Yu Nian pulled the hands they were holding, and when Xie You turned around, he asked, "What about you?"
This time, Xie You didn't look away, he said honestly, "I'm worried about you too."
Yu Nian continued to ask, "Why are you worried about me?"
The masseter muscles on Xie You's teeth moved slightly, and it took several breaths before he gave the answer, "Because to me, you... are very important. Also... I can't see you anymore."
After saying the last few words, Xie You's heart seemed to be pulled by an iron hook.
The people from the rescue team had already gone a while, Yu Nian continued to ask Xie You softly, "It's very important, how important is it?"
Xie You tightened his fingers, "The most important thing." After speaking, his ears were hot, he clenched Yu Nian's hand, and continued to move forward without daring to look back.
Coming down from the mountain, there is already light in the sky, and the vast forest is gradually waking up in the morning light. Before Yu Nian could react, she was hugged by Shi Rou who rushed over. She was in a mess, crying and laughing, "I was scared to death! I was really scared to death—"
Yu Nian raised his hand and patted her on the back, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, if you don't believe me, see for yourself."
Only then did Shi Rou let go of Yu Nian, casually wiped away the tears from her face, and looked Yu Nian from head to toe, "Well, it's fine, I'm not hurt." As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
With a bandage on his left hand, Meng Yuan also walked over, and patted Yu Nian's shoulder with his uninjured right hand, "It's fine."
"Yes, as long as it's okay." Yu Nian looked around and found that there were only a few cars parked, "Where are the others?"
Shi Rou sniffed, "We've all gone back to the city. Originally, Mr. Qu asked us to go back too, but you're still here. How can we rest assured? We've been waiting at the foot of the mountain."
At this time, Xie You walked over and said to Yu Nian, "There is food in the car, would you like to eat some food first? The person who came up with you has already sent a car back."
Yu Nian nodded, "Well, good."
When the two turned around and walked away, Shi Rou blinked her eyes that were red from crying, opened her mouth, and asked Meng Yuan stammeringly, "No, Brother Meng, I suddenly realized, why is Mr. Xie here? And just now, Is he asking if Nian Nian is hungry?"
Meng Yuan looked at the backs of the two unconsciously leaning very close when they were walking, touched their chins, and suddenly asked Shi Rou, "How tall is Mr. Xie?"
"Mr. Xie's height?" Shi Rou was stunned for two seconds, trying to recall, "When Mr. Xie was black every year, I went to search his information. The latest official report's height is 1.86 meters. What's wrong?"
Meng Yuan looked back, not sure, "I have a bold guess."
Shi Rou became even more curious, "What guess?"
"Keep it secret, we'll talk about it later." Meng Yuan greeted Shi Rou again, "Let's go, let's go online with the signal, and send the news that Nian Nian was found first!"
Shi Rou's attention was diverted, and she frowned, "Yes! Those marketing accounts really don't care about anything for the sake of popularity. I saw a marketing account swearing that it fell into the valley every year during the earthquake. Life and death are unknown at the moment, so angry!"
Meng Yuan was a little absent-minded, "Well, think about the wording and tone, and clarify later."
Sitting in the car, Xie You found a pack of milk first, then took out a small box, opened it, and handed it to Yu Nian, "This kind of snack is easy to digest, try it if you like it."
Yu Nian asked, "What if you don't like it?"
Xie You replied seriously, "If you don't like it, I also prepared rice balls, pancakes, biscuits, sugar, chocolate, dried meat, canned food, dried fruits and nuts."
Hearing him count them one by one, the corner of Yu Nian's mouth widened into a smile. He bit off half of the pastry in one bite, and then took a sip of milk, "It's delicious!"
Xie You relaxed, "As long as you like it."
The two people's eyes met, as if some mechanism had been triggered, they kept moving away again at the same time.
After quietly eating the last bite of dim sum, Yu Nian covered the empty box and handed it over, "I'm done."
Xie You reached out to pick it up, and the fingertips of the two touched, as if they had been electrocuted, Xie You moved his finger quickly.
Yu Nian pretended not to notice, and wiped the debris from the corner of his mouth with a tissue.
Putting the things away, Xie You opened the bamboo tube Yu Nian gave him, and under the light, he could see the clear spring water inside without any impurities. He cherished a small sip, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth.
very sweet.
The bamboo tube is not big, and there is not much water in it, so I drink it up quickly. Xie You raised his eyes, just in time to meet Yu Nian's eyes staring at him.
Suddenly, thinking of the notes he made while reading a book, he asked, "The spring water is very sweet, every year, do you... want to taste it again?"
Yu Nian was puzzled, "Isn't it gone?"
Xie You's voice was hoarse, "Yes." His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and there was a rush of heat on his back, as if his limbs and bones were about to burn.
Xie You's Adam's apple moved up and down nervously, his five fingers tightened, holding the empty bamboo tube, the tips of his ears were red, "My mouth—" still on his lips.
At this moment, the car door was opened from the outside with a "snap", interrupting the second half of Xie You's unspoken sentence.
The cold wind rushed in, blowing away the ambiguous atmosphere in the car in an instant, Qu Xiaoran stood in front of the car door, speaking quickly, "Xie Xiaoyou, the rescue expert asked me to tell you, depending on the situation, it may soon rain heavily, here It's not safe, we have to hurry up!"
Facing Xie You's cold eyes, Qu Xiao was at a loss, "What's wrong?"
