wild love theory

113.

Before setting off to go deep into the Antarctic Circle, the entire film crew did two weeks of polar adaptation training.The basic training focuses on polar emergency survival, teaching everyone how to pitch a tent on the snow, drive a modified pickup, etc. There is also psychological counseling, mainly to prevent newcomers from being unable to adapt for a while and suffering from polar syndrome.The manifestations and symptoms of polar syndrome are similar to depression, and it often occurs in wintering team members. However, in recent years, this mental illness has gradually evolved, and it seems to be contagious and intensified.There was a previous report that a logistics worker at the Chilean scientific research station suddenly fell ill in summer and fell into a state of madness. He set a fire and burned the material reserve.

In addition to the American scientific research station, the Chinese scientific research station is the second largest scientific research center in Antarctica, which is equivalent to a small town.The scientific research station is celebrating its [-]th anniversary this year. Not only are there more summer team members than in previous years, but the number of ordinary logistics staff has also increased a lot.

When Qi Qing was lying on the porthole of the plane, she saw bright red snow crawlers and modified pickups dotted in the white snow.In Antarctica, most vehicles will be painted in eye-catching red, just to be recognizable at a glance in the snowstorm.

When the plane landed and arrived, it was the polar day of Antarctica.The sun never sets, but walks high and low on the horizon along a trajectory.

Qi Qing was very excited, looking around, for fear of missing any new and novel things that he had never seen before.

The scientific research station is divided into a work area and a living area. Naturally, the film crew can't get involved in the confidential and martial-law work area, and basically activities in the periphery.

Since it's a car show, the car is the main feature, and it's a well-deserved protagonist.

Xu Huansen led everyone to appreciate, and by the way, test drive the Toyota Hilux polar modified pickup he had prepared.

From a distance, you can see the eye-catching modified snow tires, matched with the red body, which is more eye-catching than the orange sun slanting against the horizon.

Approaching, everyone was noisy, and Qi Qing even exclaimed.

In the interior, where have they seen such a brave steel beast.One is that the configuration of this off-road vehicle is too high, which is not convenient for maintenance; the other is that this kind of enhanced suspension system cannot legally pass in the city at all, and it is probably only suitable for uninhabited areas like Sicily.

Everyone walked around the three big pickups, admiring the powerful and beautiful off-road vehicles, and asking Xu Huansen for various details.

"Wow - still burning aviation fuel! My God - 1800 liters of fuel tank!"

"What's the tire pressure?! What! 2.0—3.0? Do the math, it's nearly ten times less than the normal one, and it's enough to crush snow-capped mountains!"

"The combination of turbocharging and fuel injection! It's almost extinct now... What's the difference between this horsepower and flying an airplane?!"

The corners of Xu Huansen's mouth rose, quite proudly.Although the tip of his nose was glowing red from the cold wind, at this moment, he felt heat starting from the soles of his feet, so he unbuttoned the collar of his jacket.

"Who wants to try first?" Xu Huansen shook the car key in his hand.

"Let me do it--"

Xu Huansen heard the sound of stepping on the snow coming directly behind him, and then, a slender hand came around from behind him, and snatched the chilly key from his fingertips.He froze for a moment, turned around, and Qi Qing slammed into his eyes and heart.

In the golden sun, Qi Qing smiled at him.

Xu Huansen suddenly felt that it was unreal, probably because the pure white background of the icy world was too refined, and Qi Qing's smile seemed to be coated with a dreamlike brilliance.

Qi Qing has long been eager to move. He is used to driving sports cars, but he has never tried this kind of behemoth.As soon as he stepped into the driver's seat, he knew that the next driving experience would definitely be extraordinary.The professionals took him for a lap, the snow foam flew up, and two wide ruts were dragged on the ice.Qi Qing's palms holding the steering wheel had hot flashes, and her heartbeat accelerated.

He lowered the car window and waved to Xu Huansen.

"Mr. Xu—" Qi Qing didn't care about other people's eyes, and said excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you for a ride!"

A gust of wind blew up the ice and snow, Xu Huansen squinted his eyes.

"Hurry up!" Qi Qing couldn't wait, "Why hesitate! Hurry up!"

Xu Huansen lifted his lips and walked over. The person who was originally in the passenger seat quickly climbed down, and the exchange was completed.Qi Qing was very satisfied, and winked playfully at Xu Huansen in the rearview mirror.

"Let's go—" Qi Qing yelled loudly, kicked the accelerator, and the front of the car jumped up suddenly.

"You—attention..." Safety.

Before he finished speaking, the car rushed out, Xu Huansen shivered on the seat due to inertia, and even took a big mouthful of cold air.

The glacier stretches, and under the blue sky, a small red dot is moving.Between the heaven and the earth, they are so insignificant as if they don't exist.

"Xu Huansen." Qi Qing called him.

"Ok?"

"I'll take you to see the sunset."

"Fool." Xu Huansen pursed his lips and smiled.

Qi Qing snorted, "Stupid? Okay, you're burying me again!"

Xu Huansen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's extremely daylight now, the sun never sets, it's both sunset and sunrise."

"That's it..." Qi Qing curled her lips, "Then let's keep driving until there is no road, okay?"

More and more lofty mountains rise from the distant horizon, standing quietly under the cover of snow, and more and more animals appear on the ice.The animals watched as the fiery steel raptor flitted by, leaving long trails in the snow.

Qi Qing was very surprised and curious about everything, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand was not idle, pointing out the window from time to time and saying to Xu Huansen:

"—Look at Xu Huansen—the seal! Wow, so fat!"

"—Look at Xu Huansen—penguins, they are so cute, with pointed mouths and no necks!"

"Look! Look! What is that, could it be a savage?!"

Xu Huansen couldn't hold back, and sneered at him, "What's on your mind all day long? This is the Antarctic continent, no man's land, let alone savages, it's hard to see a living person!"

Qi Qing laughed loudly, "I know, I'm just kidding you!"

The two looked at each other, seemingly infected by each other, and laughed heartily at the same time.The cold wind carried the young laughter and drifted into the mountains formed over hundreds of millions of years.

"It's so beautiful!" Xu Huansen sighed sincerely, raised his left hand to cover his eyes, and the golden light overflowed from his fingers.

Qi Qing turned her head, looked at his profile, and suddenly leaned into Xu Huansen's ear and asked in a low voice, "Does it look like we're running away like this?"

Xu Huansen froze, feeling as if something in his body had been pushed open, as if there was no air valve, and he could only suppress the turbulent airflow by pretending to be calm.

Unexpectedly, the answer was replaced by sharp brakes and snow slag—an Adélie penguin was blocking their way—chubby, round, and foolishly "confronted" with the red pickup.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous," Qi Qing pulled down the handbrake, leaned against the seat and gasped for breath, "This little guy jumped out of nowhere, and if he was a second later, he would have run over him... ..”

Xu Huansen didn't make a sound, just jumped out of the car and checked this shiny "uninvited guest".

Penguins are not stage-frightened. They probably have no idea about humans. They just tilted their heads curiously, flapped their fins and barked at humans a few times.

"Wow——" Qi Qing also got out of the car, squatted down and approached, and was at eye level with the penguin, "You are quite courageous, and you are not afraid of me?"

The penguin patted its fins, stretched its round body, and let out a cry, seemingly responding to Qi Qing.

Qi Qing giggled, her eyelashes were covered with a layer of white ice crystals, and she trembled when she smiled.

Xu Huansen looked at this strange picture of a man and a goose, and suddenly felt a strange softness in his heart.He finally understood what Qi Qing said to himself "I want to pause" by the lighthouse.

"Ah, the penguin is gone, Xu Huansen." Qi Qingyou looked at him, as if very disappointed.

Xu Huansen came back to his senses, looked around for a while, pointed to a raised snow bag not far away and said, "What do you think it looks like?"

Qi Qing looked in the direction he pointed, put her hands around her eyes, used them as binoculars, and straightened her neck, "It looks like a hut, didn't it snow too much before and was buried?"

The two of them looked at each other in agreement, searched for two sets of headlights in the car, and then walked towards the strange snow bag one after the other.

Approaching what appeared to be the front door, Xu Huansen observed for a while, and found that it was a wooden door. He gestured to Qi Qing, signaling him to back away, and then kicked the door open with a strong kick. The musty smell came over.

The two covered their mouths and noses and walked in cautiously.

The inside of the house was frozen, with crystallized ice edges hanging brightly everywhere. Judging from the furnishings, it should be a supply house that had been abandoned for a long time.In the polar regions, it is not uncommon to see supply houses like this abandoned by irresistible factors. Some of them date back so long that they almost forget what purpose they were built for and why they were abandoned.

There are scattered cans and common tool boxes on a few dirty iron shelves.In addition to these, the most conspicuous thing is the iron frame bed that occupies 1/3 of the space in the room. A small aluminum box is placed on the head of the bed, which is placed so boldly that it seems to be to lure people to open it.

Xu Huansen swallowed, walked over, followed by Qi Qing.

Xu Huansen searched for a hammer from the side, and stabbed at the box a few times. With a bang, the lid of the box was easily smashed open.

Two beams of light shone into the dark box, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both froze. No one thought that there was only a frozen English book inside.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Qi Qing took out the book from the box vigorously, shook off the top layer of ice crystals, and a piece of kraft paper that was frozen hard fell out from the pages of the book.

He bent down to pick it up, and Xu Huansen also moved to the paper.

It turned out to be in Chinese, or handwritten:

Tomorrow is the day I leave Antarctica.

I've been procrastinating for three years and have no more excuses to procrastinate.A month ago, my mother cried and asked me on the phone if I would dedicate my life here.I told her it was not a dedication, but a duty.So many people have stayed here for ten years, or even 20 years, haven't they all come here?My mother said that I was different, and I seemed to be determined never to return to the city.Then she choked up and said, Dad is sick and has terminal lung cancer, are you so cruel that you don't even see each other for the last time?

I was silent for a while, and then agreed to her to apply for a job change and to be filial to the head of the bed.

I'm leaving, but I still haven't found Xiyu.

I don't have to say goodbye to her, because she has always lived in my heart and is not going anywhere.

The first time I saw her, I thought this girl was really special, she was small in stature, but she had infinite aura.She turned into the medical room through the window, stared at me for a while, still nibbled on the apple in her mouth, and asked, are you the new doctor?Everyone says you're handsome, but that's all.

I'm not mad, I think she's funny.I've always been tolerant of meeting people who are more interesting than me.

Xiyu is very good, not only has a Ph.D. in communication engineering, but also received a scholarship from NSF. As a foreigner, it is not easy to get a scholarship from an American.

Xiyu once came over and suddenly said, what perfume did you wear, it smells really good.I was puzzled and said no.She smiled and said, it's impossible for you to reach out and smell it for me.I did so and stretched out my hand, and she kissed my palm directly.

I froze in surprise, and she looked at me with bright eyes.

I can only say that at that moment, my heart was disturbed.

We went to the Antarctic Basin. After checking the instruments, Xiyu came and sat beside me, pointing to the cloudless blue sky and saying, look, a rainbow.

The world became so quiet at that moment, so quiet that I could only hear my own breathing and heartbeat.

I thought, although the marriage is a mess, but Xiyu is such a good girl, I want to gamble with her.

During that winter, Xiyu accompanied me through the darkest and coldest polar night. Next, we just need to wait for the boat to arrive and after the National Day, we can go back to the inland.I have many plans, but I haven't told Xiyu. Among them, the one I want to do the most is to take her to see the Iguazu Falls and see the rainbow on the waterfall.

A friend from the Argentine scientific research station told me that people who love each other went to see the Iguazu Falls together, and they will never be separated again in this world.

But the news came from above that I couldn't go back, because the team doctor who was supposed to change me suddenly couldn't come, so I could only replace it, and it was another dark year.

I sent Xiyu on the plane, she was very happy, I didn't want to show loss or sadness, and spoil her good mood.

Xiyu asked me what I wanted, and she brought it to me when Xia Tian came back.

I thought about it, shook my head, and told her, as long as you come back safely.

I have been regretting, if I forcibly retained her that day and told her not to go, would our ending be different?

With a three-level storm warning, it is difficult to even drive a truck.In order to repair the communication equipment, Xiyu risked herself and rushed into the snowstorm.

The truck was roaring, and the wind and snow were also roaring. Only Xiyu was the calmest and completed her mission.

The teammates who came back together described the accident, and whenever there was that occasion, I avoided it.

In the Antarctic ice crevice, under the sea ice, Xiyu was contained for me.

I asked for leave from the organization, sneaked to the coastline closest to Xiyu's accident, and even walked on an ice floe with a penguin about to enter the water.It seemed to be interrupted by me, fluttering its fins and looking at me with some vigilance.

But I asked it stupidly, have you seen Xiyu?

If you see her, call her.The penguin stared at me and really screamed.

I've been healing others, but I can't even heal myself.

What I regret the most is that I haven't asked Xiyu if she would like to be my girlfriend and marry me.

I think someone should remember the matter between me and her, otherwise, wouldn't all of this disappear with us, would it all disappear?

The Antarctic wind was blown by her with me, I will never forget it,

Wind, kiss this land for me, kiss the one who sleeps here forever, my lover.

Ming on 203x.12.7/

A deep love buried in the dust in this desolate ice field unexpectedly appeared in front of them in this way, unintentionally and tremblingly.

Qi Qing held the letter and felt extremely heavy.

He called out Xu Huansen's name in a low voice, then raised his face from the letter and shed tears all over his face.
