To my frozen hometown

Chapter 84 I Can't Always Imagine the Feelings of the First Man in Space

"So, you are travelers going to the east, because the wind and snow are too heavy, so you want to stay here for one night?"

In the spacious and bright living room, after listening to Liu Yuan's narration, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes." Liu Yuan nodded lightly, not denying the old man's statement.

"Well, please believe that I don't mean anything else, but to be honest." The old man should have glanced at Al.

"It's obviously not a very wise decision to want to cross the ice sheet just by the two of you."

"Indeed." Liu Yuan didn't explain much, but calmly admitted what the old man said.

"But we have things we have to do on the east side."

"Is that so?" The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then chuckled, raised his head and looked at Liuyuan and Al and said.

"Then maybe we are the same kind of people."

They are the kind of people who don't think about the rationality before a goal, and then start to act.

Liu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, acquiescing to this situation.

"Okay, you can live here." The old man said with a smile, and patted his thigh with both hands.

"But I don't recommend that you start tomorrow."

"Why?" Liu Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Because from the meteorological point of view, this cold air will last for a long time, and there will be no signs of warming up even after the snow stops."

Saying so, the old man turned his head and smiled at Al.

"So for the little girl, she might want to wait until a warmer time before leaving."

"That." Listening to the old man's words, Liu Yuan frowned slightly.

"What kind of time should this be?"

"Let me think about it." The old man raised his hand and stroked his chin, then he seemed to think of something, looked at Liu Yuan and said.

"After half a month, the supplies delivered to me by the greenhouse will arrive. The supply team will have professional snow field constant temperature vehicles and more complete thermal equipment. At that time, you should be able to set off to the greenhouse with them, so that It can avoid being affected by the cold air."

After half a month?

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, but she was not short of such a little time.

"Then I will trouble you, Monsieur Aztord."

Probably a decision had already been made, Liu Yuan looked at the old man again and said.

"It's nothing." The old man waved his hand gently.

"And I didn't let you live here for nothing. During your stay here, you need to work for me and help me with chores such as taking care of flowers and plants and cleaning the room. How about it? Can you accept such conditions? ?”

"Of course, this is what we should do." To be honest, Liu Yuan has a good impression of this kind old man so far.

But that doesn't mean she'll let her guard down completely.

"Then, come with me, it's getting late, I'll arrange a room for you."

The old man said with a smile, stood up, and led Liuyuan and Al to the corridor.

······

For the sake of safety, Liuyuan finally asked the old man to put her and Al in the same room, so that even if there was an emergency, she could take care of the girl.

The old man obviously saw this, but he didn't mind. Instead, he praised Liu Yuan's concern for the girl.

The room he arranged for the two of them should have been a double dormitory in the past. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.

There are two beds and some simple furniture inside, there is a separate bathroom, and there will be hot water supply from 24:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening.At the same time, there is an air conditioner hanging on the wall, which can keep the room warm for [-] hours.

It must be admitted that this is already a very "luxury" living condition on the ice sheet. As a former key research institute, the infrastructure here is not surprisingly perfect.

"This is the key to your door. Please keep it safe and return it to me when you leave. In addition, my room is the first one in the corridor on the right. If you need anything, you can come to me. "

In the room, the old man handed a key to Liu Yuan, and then silently exited the door.

It has to be said that he and Liu Yuan are really similar, and his personality is so indifferent that he doesn't even care whether Liu Yuan and Al lie to him.

Sitting down in the room with the girl, Liu Yuan took out the pocket watch in his pocket and took a look.

Well, nine thirty, there is still some time to take a shower.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan turned his head and said to Al.

"There should still be hot water now, you go take a shower first, I'll take a shower later."

"En." The girl responded softly. Although she had recovered some physical strength at this time, she was still a little weak.

Liu Yuan probably noticed this, so he continued to ask.

"need my help?"

"Hmm." This question made the girl's face turn red instantly, and she hurriedly shook her head and said.

"No, no, I can wash it myself."

"Well, then be careful yourself, don't fall."

"I know, I know."

Watching the girl walk into the bathroom with her head down, Liuyuan sat in the room for a while.

After a while, maybe because of some interest, she got up and pushed open the door, walked into the corridor, and lit a cigarette for herself.

The lighter was returned to her by Nuo Senfu, and it was specially filled with fuel.

"Crack!" Half-following a soft sound, the flames reflected on the window in the corridor, illuminating Liu Yuan's face, and at the same time, seemed to illuminate the dark snowy night outside.

"Inhale, exhale."

Liu Yuan took a deep breath with the cigarette in his hand, then put away the lighter, and slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

She raised her head and looked at the sky outside in a daze.

It's a pity that the night sky at this time is being covered by wind and snow, and there is no starlight, and even the figure of the moon seems a little vague.

It should have been a while before the homeless man stood by the window, talking to himself.

"Evacuate towards the starry sky?"

To be honest, she didn't know the feasibility of this plan, she just felt that people in the past seemed to really dare to do anything.

What kind of courage is that? People in this era seem to be unable to describe it.

What kind of courage is that, just like they have never been afraid of death.
