scorching cold

When something involves "death", the vigilance and panic brought to people immediately become severe.

Tao Zhuo suddenly felt that the air was full of poisonous gas, subconsciously held his breath when answering the phone, held his nose and asked Li Suihan: "Are you here?"

"You haven't arrived yet?" Li Suihan smiled.

"I'll be right away, you, wait for me in a place with few people, don't buy food or talk to anyone, I'll be there in a while." Tao Zhuo told him.

"What's wrong?" Li Suihan asked strangely.

Tao Zhuo didn't want Li Suihan to create terror for him as soon as he landed, so imitating his mother's tone just now, he said lightly that there was a new flu, and hung up the phone.

Hang up the phone and look at the phone again. In just a short while, all his social software is suddenly full of news.

University and high school classmate groups, studio groups, family groups, An Yi Wenye and their groups, various public accounts, Tencent News Weibo topics... The topic of "new coronavirus" is overwhelming, around the focus of "human-to-human transmission", The heat is rampantly increasing.

Tao Zhuo browsed for a while, becoming more and more bewildered.

Why is it still compared with SARS? Is it so serious?

Wuhan had 17 cases yesterday and today 136 cases...

Huanan Seafood Market...

Banlangen Banlangen…Medical Surgical Mask or N95 Mask…

Tao Zhuo belatedly wanted to search for masks. In the WeChat group, Tao Zhen suddenly circled his parents and him and sent a voice message.

He opened it and listened. Tao Zhen was conveying Tao Qiwei's words, saying that she brought home a box of hand sanitizer and disinfectant last month. There should be two bags of masks in it, and asked my mother to dig it out and wear it when she went out. , and especially told his mother, Tao Qiwei told her not to go out to play mahjong these days.

Just after listening to this one, Tao Zhen sent another one, this one was specifically for Tao Zhuo, telling him that if he had friends and classmates coming back from Wuhan, try not to see each other or have dinner together.

With a guilty conscience, the mother returned two surprised little yellow faces in the group, and Tao Zhuo clicked on Tao Qiwei's profile picture to have a private chat with her, and asked her: Sister, is it serious?I see some people say it is worse than SARS?

Tao Qiwei returned to him after 2 minutes, probably still in the hospital, the background sound was messy, and there were children crying, she spoke fast, with some unhappy complaints: "Someone said it a while ago, but The rumors were refuted, saying that the doctors who reminded were spreading rumors, and they were arrested and wrote a letter of repentance, saying that there was no human-to-human transmission, and they didn’t take it seriously. As a result, Zhong Nanshan came out today to say that human-to-human transmission... It’s okay, Xiao Wu, go back first, and give me the watch... Zhong Nanshan has already spoken, what do you think?"

His mother spoke one by one in the group, Tao Zhuo looked at those little red dots, his mind was full of Zhuo Qingqing's face from yesterday.

He didn't care about complaining about his sister-in-law's nonsense, and was about to tell Tao Qiwei that he had dinner with a person who came back from Wuhan yesterday, but Zhuo Qingqing's news popped up first.

Zhuo Qingqing: I came home from Wuhan last Saturday. I really didn’t know there was pneumonia in Wuhan when I came back, but I haven’t had a cold or fever so far. Everything is normal. It doesn’t matter whether you contact me directly or indirectly. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m not going anywhere, if I have any signs of discomfort, I will notify you as soon as possible (it’s a group post, I can’t get back, thank you for your concern and understanding [blessing] [blessing])

She sent a long string, Tao Zhuo didn't have the time to read it carefully, and hurriedly scanned the entire paragraph, and when he saw the phrase "group post", he couldn't help laughing.

Just after laughing, Tao Qiwei added another voice saying: "But don't panic too much. I read the news that it is mainly middle-aged and elderly people. After all, it is a matter of resistance. Remember to ask uncles and aunts to pay more attention. "

These two pieces of news gave Tao Zhuo temporary reassurance.

The wind hurts his face, he squinted his eyes and looked out the car window, the weather is fine today, and the evening is also bright red, the airport is just ahead, the pick-up gate is always full of traffic, and the people coming in and out are also in a hurry, everything is as usual, it’s nothing Man wearing a mask.

He decided to ignore the falsehoods on the Internet, and pick up Li Suihan first when everyone is here.

"Master, is it convenient for you to wait here for 2 minutes? My friend will leave as soon as he comes out." Tao Zhuo discussed with the driver with his head hooked.

He was in a daze and laughed for a while, and when he answered the phone, he said words such as "cold" and "pneumonia". The driver looked at him vigilantly from the rearview mirror, and "you hurry up" was almost engraved on his forehead.

Only then did Tao Zhuo realize that he had pulled up the collar of the sweater at some point, covering his face like a ninja.

This man is more afraid of death than I am.

Tao Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to give up.

When he got off the car in front of the terminal building, he couldn't help but pull up the sweater like the driver did, and zipped up the coat to the top to cover his mouth and nose.

Fortunately, he was wearing a high collar today, Tao Zhuo thought to himself while taking out his mobile phone to look around, otherwise wouldn't the sweater look like a turtle when pulled up?

He called Li Suihan, and as soon as he dialed twice, someone hugged his waist from behind, and there was a warm touch from the position of his right temple. Li Suihan kissed him lightly and turned him around.

"Why are you wrapping it like you're trying to steal a landmine?" He laughed looking at Tao Zhuo's appearance.

Tao Zhuo was disturbed by this action, and his mentality was different. Li Suihan's little tricks made him terribly uncomfortable, even if it was for the public, he was a little embarrassed.

Before he could blush, Li Suihan brought him back to reality with one sentence.

"Pull it too." Tao Zhuo immediately took a big step back, gesticulating in a low voice, causing Li Suihan to cover his nose, and asked again, "Where's Bei Tian?"

"Throw it there. What's wrong with you?" Li Suihan looked at him suspiciously.

"Pneumonia, said to be similar to SARS, just broke out today, and I didn't have time to buy a mask." Tao Zhuo watched two young people wearing masks walking by not far away, and his nervousness was ignited again.

He looked at Li Suihan's unmasked face, and he was even more panicked than he was in the car just now. He held his breath and took another step forward. Without a word, he pulled up Li Suihan's scarf and wrapped it around his face indiscriminately.

Li Suihan saw the news about pneumonia just now, and when he was waiting for Tao Zhuo, he heard people discussing it, but he didn't take it seriously. At best, he thought it was mumps or hand, foot and mouth disease, which happened in other provinces.

He let Tao Zhuo wrap him in a mess, the scarf covered half of his face, he bent his eyes to look at Tao Zhuo, and said "Oh", "Afraid I might infect you?"

"...I'm afraid I'll infect you." Tao Zhuo took another step back after binding Li Suihan, blinked his eyes guiltyly, and emphasized the seriousness, "Several people died in Wuhan."

Li Suihan's eyes paused, staring at Tao Zhuo: "What's wrong with you?"

Tao Zhuo didn't hide anything, and told Li Suihan everything about his "blind date" with Zhuo Qingqing yesterday.

Li Suihan interrupted him after listening for a while, took Tao Zhuo's hand and said "Mmm", "Go home first."

Tao Zhuo wanted to hide, but Li Suihan didn't let go, and put his hand directly into the coat pocket.

"Someone is watching me!" Tao Zhuo was going crazy while his heart was beating.

Li Suihan laughed indifferently, and glanced at him with the corners of his eyes: "He is dying, so he is afraid of being seen?"

Tao Zhuo screamed: "...don't curse me!"

Affected by Li Suihan's attitude on the way home, Tao Zhuo also jumped out of the self-intimidating state just now. When he returned to the urban area, he saw that the atmosphere on the street hadn't changed. I haven't met many, and they are basically young people hanging on their chins. The so-called new crown seems to be only boiling on the Internet.

He chatted and laughed with Li Suihan as if he was stealing landmines, and Tao Zhuo imagined how he would spend his last few days if he got an incurable disease.

When they passed the pharmacy outside the community, they stopped in to buy masks. The clerk did not respond except for wearing a mask on her face.Li Suihan asked for a pack of medical surgical masks. She said that there is no medical surgery but general surgery. Li Suihan can do whatever he wants. Tao Zhuo also asked for a large bag of banlangen, and the younger sister quickly took it for them.

When they turned around and walked out, another big boy came in to buy a mask, and the little girl said numbly, "No more, the last pack was just sold, go to another place."

"I just came from the house at the intersection, and all the bags are gone?" the boy said angrily.

"One is gone." The little girl waved her hand.

Tao Zhuo and Li Suihan looked at each other, Tao Zhuo couldn't help but held his breath again.

The "new crown" really sounded the alarm bells across the country within one day.

Tao Zhuo didn't go home that night, he just wanted to have a meal with Li Suihan before leaving, while Li Suihan was taking a bath, he nestled on the sofa, checked Weibo, and answered a call from Qi Ya.

When Li Suihan came out again, Tao Zhuo had already thrown all the clothes he had changed into the washing machine, holding a cup of Banlangen in one hand, and a mobile phone in the other, standing in the middle of the living room and watching the video with a blank face.

"Why are you standing?" Li Suihan asked.

"There is a person... who was diagnosed after only a few ten minutes in transit at Wuhan Station," Tao Zhuo looked up blankly, a little incoherently speaking, "Qi Ya's father said that Wuhan has actually killed many people and infected many people, but It’s suppressed, the infection can’t be cured, and yesterday they held a hundred-family banquet...Three people in the neighboring city were diagnosed, and all of them have a history of contact with Wuhan..."

Li Suihan was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to see if there was anything else to eat at home, when he heard this, he stopped and turned to walk in front of Tao Zhuo.

"Don't stay away from me!" Tao Zhuo turned around and walked towards the corner. The emotions and pressure brought to him by the sudden epidemic are superimposed, and the previous relief was easily buried by the news on the Internet, " I asked my sister to ask how to test this, and I will test it tomorrow, and I will go with Qi Ya."

"If you want to test, go now." Li Suihan turned and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Tao Zhuo quickly turned around and followed Li Suihan two steps behind, "I can't do it now, you wait for me, I can't do it, I'm not ready yet, I..."

His throat was tight, Li Suihan frowned and stopped, turned to look at him, Tao Zhuo took another step back.

"I don't think I'm that big, but just in case..." Tao Zhuo opened his mouth, his heart sank down empty, bitter and heavy.

He is a natural optimist. He has lived for 24 years, and it is the first time that he associates "death" with himself, and the reason is still so sudden and unknown.

"It's all my mother and sister-in-law's fault." Tao Zhuo was suddenly annoyed, he turned around and muttered, feeling extremely depressed and wronged, he downed the Radix Banlangen in one breath, and kicked the sofa, "What are you messing around with? I haven't lived enough yet, and I haven't earned enough money to spend for her, so she pushes me into the pit, and asks me to go home to eat and infect her? The isolation thing on the Internet is a big glass tube, and people are tied in it. It's like a pig, I can't even move, why should I suffer this..."

"Tao Zhuo." Li Suihan had never been on a "blind date" with Zhuo Qingqing, although he understood that the pneumonia should be serious given the current situation, he was worried about Tao Zhuo, but he couldn't figure out how Tao Zhuo would be so frightened.

He could only comfort him first, then went to pull him over, only to find that Tao Zhuo's eye circles were already red.

"It's not possible," Li Suihan couldn't help laughing, and scratched his red nose, "That girl is fine, what are you thinking about?"

"Stay away from me!" Tao Zhuo pushed him away with his neck pinned. Li Suihan didn't understand at all, and dared to provoke him, "I'm the one who's eating with her, not you. Wait until I catch the infection." You are also infected, we both died in your house, you just..."

Before he finished speaking, the back of his neck tightened suddenly. Li Suihan grabbed his head back and kissed him on the lips without any explanation.

The smell of shampoo and banlangen is wet, and the news about the new crown is still broadcasting seriously on the mobile phone.

"Then die." Li Suihan said softly.He left Tao Zhuo's lips, and kissed the bridge of his nose tenderly.
