Although both are in the same province, they have not been together recently. Chu Qianli is working in the Gobi Desert, while Tan Muxing is recuperating in the hospital. They can't see each other and can only contact occasionally.
When the two meet again, it seems like a lifetime away.
Tan Muxing was surprised by Chu Qianli's sudden appearance, and Chu Qianli was surprised by Tan Muxing's injury.
Chu Qianli originally had a smile in his eyes, and even sang nursery rhymes after knocking on the door. She saw Tan Muxing, who was tightly bandaged in the ward, and his obviously thinner figure, she was startled, she didn't expect him to be so seriously injured.
Tan Muxing was in good condition when he left, but now that he thinks about it, he is probably a strong supporter. He didn't talk about himself in detail when contacting him, and he didn't mention a word about the doctor's diagnosis. Falling from a height is not a trivial matter, and there is no way to recover within a few months.
Chu Qianli thought about the reason for his injury, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said sadly: "Ah, you can't play this now..."
Tan Muxing saw that she was still huddled by the door, and said calmly, "Aren't you going to come in?"
Chu Qianli hid at the door all the time, only poked his head in to look around, and Tan Muxing was quite surprised that he didn't step into the room for a long time.
She hesitated when she heard the words, and finally entered the room obediently, but she turned her body slightly, as if she was trying to hide something awkwardly.
Tan Muxing took a closer look, and found that her right arm was wrapped in white gauze, he panicked and asked, "What's wrong with your arm?"
"Just for a while, the nurse's sister wrapped it too exaggeratedly..." Chu Qianli lowered her eyes, she just tried to put down her sleeves, but it would be blocked by the gauze, so it was not easy to enter the door immediately.
Although Chu Qianli found out that Shui Yuan was not injured that day, bumps and bumps were unavoidable during the acupuncture process, but fortunately, there was no danger. She really wanted to meet her companion intact, but nine out of ten times her life was unsatisfactory, and there were always some troubles she couldn't avoid.
Tan Muxing worried: "Is the injury serious? The wound is deep?"
Since it was specially bandaged, it must not be a minor injury.
"No..." Facing his questioning, Chu Qianli turned her gaze to one side, and said falteringly, "It's not as serious as you."
Tan Muxing was taken aback for a moment, he noticed her evasive attitude, and always felt that something had changed quietly after parting.
After the two returned from Yinlong Village, this was the first time they were truly separated.
Although they contacted each other every day, Tan Muxing didn't know what happened to her later, nor did she know what kind of ordeal she encountered, completely turning into a blank period.
Chu Qianli stood by the window, she hid herself in the curtains, she lowered her head and said nothing at the moment.
Tan Muxing opened his mouth, he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.
The room suddenly fell silent.
It was quiet in the ward, and the sun was shining through the window. The breeze rushed in, blowing up the gauze behind the heavy curtains, hazyly surrounding Chu Qianli who was by the window.
After a long time, Chu Qianli spoke first: "I regret it."
"What do you regret?"
"I shouldn't have called you back then." Chu Qianli huddled in the curtains, muffled, "I shouldn't have called Xing Xing."
If she hadn't called Tan Muxing when she stepped on the air, maybe she was the only one who fell off the cliff and wouldn't drag him down too. Tan Muxing was walking in front at that time, but after hearing the voice, he subconsciously turned back.
Tan Muxing: "Why shouldn't you call me?"
"this is not good."
"But I think it's fine."
"It's not good at all." Chu Qianli glanced at his plastered left arm and said in a low voice, "...it might as well be injured."
Her time is numbered and she shouldn't drag others down.
They used to live in the city so much that they forgot many details. Tan Muxing actually has no reason to endure hardships, his birth determines his life will be safe and smooth, even if he does not have any achievements, it is enough to make others envious.
But she is different, she has no future.
People with a future should not lose everything for those without a future. This is a truth that everyone understands.
Tan Muxing heard the words, shook his head and said: "I'm really relieved that you will ask me for help."
Chu Qianli was puzzled: "Don't worry about what?"
"Because I was occasionally not sure what you were thinking, and I didn't know if following me would disturb you." Tan Muxing said, "Although you have never complained, maybe you don't want to be known?"
Chu Qianli was taken aback.
Tan Muxing spoke in a gentle tone, and recalled: "When I lived with my grandparents when I was a child, I often met a stray cat in the yard. It came to eat every day, and it almost regarded the yard as its own home. Everyone thought it would not go, but after a few years, it got old and disappeared one day, and no one could find it.”
"They said that at a certain time, cats will take the initiative to run away from home because they are afraid of other people's sadness. The adults also comforted me in this way. But I checked the Internet later, and some people said that the nature of cats is that when they are weak, they will hide so that no one can find them. Because they have a strong sense of defense and self-esteem, they don't want to be found weak, even by people they know."
When Chu Qianli left the village, Wang Ping and others did not know the truth; when Chu Qianli left home, He Shichen and others did not know the truth.
Tan Muxing even felt that she planned everything accurately, and maybe one day she would leave her without saying goodbye.
He didn't know whether the cat left because he was afraid of people's sadness, or if he thought it had nothing to do with people in his heart, but if it was the former, he felt that it didn't matter if people were sad, at least don't let it face it alone.
"You want me to forget about this in the village, and I always feel that you will disappear one day, otherwise I won't make preparations in advance." Tan Muxing said with a smile, "But you will call me when you are in danger, so I am finally relieved. Make sure I'm not giving you trouble, and make sure you want to keep going."
She just wanted to work hard to survive, so what's wrong with asking him for help
"You have worked very hard, so it's okay to call me, I think it's good."
Chu Qianli trembled: "...but you were injured."
"Well, but wounds always heal."
"There will be more trouble after that..."
"Sooner or later it will be resolved."
The Hanged Man was bound, hung upside down, and the world was upside down in his eyes, but he didn't feel bothered. He sees the world peacefully from a new perspective, ready to go in a new direction in his life.
Chu Qianli was affected by his emotions, she suddenly didn't know what to say, she simply lowered her head and didn't look at him, wrapped herself tightly with the curtain, only showing the top of her head in the curtain.
After a moment, she called out, "Stars."
"Ok."
"Stars, stars..."
"I'm here." Tan Muxing replied softly.
The two yelled and answered, and after repeating it several times, even the air became more relaxed, as if ushering in an unprecedented joy.
Chu Qianli finally poked her head out from the curtain. She was silent when she was working on the Gobi Desert, but now she has finally returned to normal, and she complained pitifully like when she was overwhelmed by homework at school: "Xing Xing, I was strangled by the safety rope." It hurts, the thing fell to the bottom, I almost threw up my stomach, I feel like I'm falling apart...”
Chu Qianli didn't say a word at the time, but now that he was reunited with Tan Muxing, he immediately began to pour out his bitterness.
"I fell on the ground inexplicably, and almost became a murder scene." She looked aggrieved, and pulled her trouser legs above her knees, revealing the dark scabs formed after abrasions, and told about the hardships and hardships along the way.
Tan Muxing didn't expect that her knee was also injured, he was shocked after watching it, and hurriedly said: "Is it that serious!?"
He thought it was just the arm, but he didn't expect anything else.
The two were separated for a while, and she hurt herself all over.
Chu Qianli sobbed sadly: "Everything is not going well, I shouldn't go out during that time, but it's impossible not to go, my arm hurts deeper..."
Chu Qianli is like a child now, it feels like he would yell if he was bleeding from the paper, and rushed to the adults to cry about his misery, for fear that if the road was delayed for a while, the wound would heal without treatment, and he would find someone to seek help if he lost his mind. An opportunity for comfort.
When Tan Muxing heard about her encounter in the Gobi Desert, he greeted her with concern and comforted the suffering people with good words.
At this time, Yu Yu came to visit his companion, and he overheard a few words, and said in disbelief: "Chu Qianli, you actually cried miserably at a broken bone, isn't it a bit outrageous?"
Standing at the door, Yu Yu heard Chu Qianli groaning miserably. Tan Muxing was seriously injured and fractured.
Tan Muxing was clearly still wearing a plaster cast, but now he has a serious expression on his face and defended her seriously: "But she was seriously injured."
Now that Chu Qianli has someone to back her up, she was instantly confident and said in a sad voice, "You don't understand me!"
Facing the two of them, Yu Ge complained feebly: "I don't understand you, you don't understand medicine."
He really doesn't understand how high school students understand injuries today. Who should cry miserably? Is it a mistake
All three were more or less injured, and Tan Muxing was the most serious among them. Fortunately, the work was resolved smoothly.
Chu Qianli was bruised and bruised when she was looking for Lu to store water, but after going through the troubled time, she also gained a lot and gained a huge amount of karma, which is basically the same as the railway was built!
She speculates that this catastrophe is a critical point. If she can survive it safely, then it is judged that she can complete the road-building merit. If she can't make it through, then everything will be over.
This is just like a person's fortune. Some moments will pass, and the will will be bright in a flash, but if you can't make it through, dust will return to ashes, and dust will return to dust.
The good news is that the huge amount of karma has relieved the pressure, and she obviously feels more time, and she should be able to survive the age of twenty.
The bad news is that the death catastrophe is still unresolved and still exists.
Chu Qianli seldom took risks when her luck was bad before, but this time she had a new insight in the Gobi. She only harvested karma after going through hardships, which may mean that it is not enough to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but to do what she knows is impossible, so that there will be a turnaround after the risk.
In her previous life, she always wanted to avoid accidents, but perhaps only by facing them head-on can she find a chance of survival.
Not long after, Chu Qianli and others met with Professor Pan to discuss the next plan.
The two sides were divided into two groups at the time, and Pan Yicheng went to the other side. He also sprained his ankle at the scene, and now he is limping, crying and laughing: "What's going on? Are we a combination of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled?"
The four of them were all gloriously injured, and Tan Muxing also suffered a fracture. It will take time to fully recover.
"Mu Xing, you are..." Pan Yicheng already knew about Mu Xing, but he was still taken aback when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, "What should I say? Is the food in the hospital not good?"
Tan Muxing's shocking fall from a high place, but fortunately he only had a broken left arm, you know someone was paralyzed before.
The doctors are congratulating him on his luck, but the injury still has sequelae. During his treatment, he lost weight like crazy, and no one has researched the specific reason.
Pan Yicheng still remembers talking about Mu Xing's chubby appearance, but now his first reaction is that he looks hungry.
Chu Qianli has been brooding over this matter recently, and said sadly: "The big white bear has lost air!"
When she visited Tan Mu Xing, she found that he had lost a little weight. Who would have thought that everyone would lose a little weight every day, who would have thought that everyone would lose a little weight every day, almost making people think it was a terminal illness!
Tan Muxing said embarrassedly: "I don't know what's going on."
Mr. Sugan said that his body shape was caused by his suppressed strength. He suspected that it was due to unconscious force when he fell off the cliff, so that no bad results would be caused when he fell down the cliff.
As soon as Yu Yu raised his chin, he pointed to Chu Qianli's direction, and said helplessly, "Because Tan Muxing lost weight, he was fed crazyly for several days."
Chu Qianli is now persuading his companion to cook every day, wishing he could stare at him and eat four bowls at a time.
Pan Yicheng looked up and down and talked about Mu Xing. He was a little uncomfortable at first glance, but he soon became more and more pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's pretty good, it's a blessing in disguise, it's better to be healthy like this!"
"It's not good, it's not good at all. Big Pyrenees shouldn't be like this..." Chu Qianli was rather worried. She began to fumble in her pockets, took out chocolates from the bag, and asked tentatively, "How about some sweets?"
Now she is like seeing a skinny polar bear, wishing to take out all the food on her body to feed him, lest he become like this because of starvation.
Tan Muxing knew that Chu Qianli was worried about him, but recently he was being fed frequently, and after dinner and snacks, it was a bit overwhelming after all. No one can be fed like this, he has never eaten so much before.
But a direct refusal will disappoint her, and a softer and more tactful approach is needed.
Facing the eager and expectant eyes of the bear boy, Tan Muxing racked his brains to find an excuse, and finally came up with a scientific reason. He also specially displayed the mobile phone webpage to popularize some unpopular science knowledge for her: "Bears will die if they eat chocolate."
