It was already very unfortunate that we had to make a detour, and it was even more unfortunate that it started to snow in the afternoon.

The temperature plummeted to below zero.

Even Tang Xingrui, who was born with a hot body, started to have cold hands and feet, and rubbed his hands vigorously.He touched Dai Zihao's hand.

"Hey, why is it so cold? Would you like me to open for you for a while, you can find some clothes to put on, and it will be warmer." He frowned and said, the touch just now was like touching a piece of cold jade, the touch is delicate, but the temperature extremely low.

Dai Zihao glanced at the hand that Tang Xingrui touched just now: "It's okay."

"How could it be okay?" Seeing that he refused to listen to the other party, Tang Xingrui asked him to stretch out his right hand, "I'll help you warm up."

Dai Zihao was still hesitating, Tang Xingrui stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist: "There's no reason to hesitate, I..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

【What's this?Scars from suicide? 】

[Isn't it?Who commits suicide by cutting several wounds, thinking that it doesn’t hurt enough?And Dai Zihao's personality doesn't look like suicide]

Tang Xingrui saw the wounds on Dai Zihao's wrists, which were neatly lined up on the inside of his right wrist.Because it was covered up by the clothes, it is not clear how many wounds there are, but there are two exposed.

The hideous knife scar lay across it, one can imagine how much force was used to leave such a deep scar.

"you……"

Dai Zihao withdrew his hand: "It's still not necessary."

A twitch but no twitch, it turned out that Tang Xingrui subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

Tang Xingrui quickly let go of his hand: "Ah, sorry, I didn't react!"

There was another red strangle mark on Dai Zihao's wrist.

"Never mind." He twisted his wrist, trying to relax, and shifted into fifth gear.

Tang Xingrui was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "Your wrist...forget it, I shouldn't have asked. Are you still cold? I'll look for disposable heaters and the like."

"...No, it's not cold." Dai Zihao narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to see the depth of his emotions.

Tang Xingrui replied in a daze: "Oh."

There was silence between the two of them.

When Tang Xingrui felt that he had done something wrong and was at a loss what to do, Dai Zihao spoke first.

"It's not suicide, don't think about it."

He always felt that Tang Xingrui was going to cry no matter how much he thought about it.Although he didn't know why a boy had such developed tear ducts, it was true that he didn't want Tang Xingrui to cry.

"So... does it hurt?"

Dai Zihao was already prepared. When the other party asked him how he got the injury and why there were so many questions, he never expected that he would ask this question, and he didn't react for a while.

After thinking about Tang Xingrui's question, Dai Zihao wanted to shake his head, but in the end he just glanced at Tang Xingrui and met his gaze.So he stopped shaking his head before he could do it.

"It doesn't hurt now."

It doesn't hurt now, which means it was very painful at the time.

Tang Xingrui frowned, reached out and gently touched those scars.The scar is a little uneven, stretching across the wrist, as if the entire palm is going to be cut off.

Dai Zihao thought for a while, and said by himself: "Don't you want to ask how to do it?"

Tang Xingrui shook his head: "Don't ask, you will naturally say it when you want to."

He will respect each other's every choice.

Tang Xingrui's guess was right, Dai Zihao really didn't want to say it, he had never mentioned this to outsiders.But when he saw Tang Xingrui's worried eyes, Dai Zihao couldn't deny that he wanted to tell the whole story for a moment, but finally restrained this weird impulse.

He shouldn't bring negative emotions to others, especially if this person is Tang Xingrui.

Dai Zihao pulled off the sleeves on his wrist that were a little bit up, and covered the scars again.Then, the cold fingertips were held by Tang Xingrui.

"No, I still have to warm you up, or it will be too cold." He muttered, bowed his head and clasped his hands together, covering Dai Zihao's cold hands: "Would this be better?"

The warm temperature dyed the cold fingers, making his hands gradually warm up.Dai Zihao reached out and held Tang Xingrui's fingers.

"No, my hands are too cold." will take your body heat away.

Tang Xingrui always seemed to understand what Dai Zihao really wanted to express. He held onto it to prevent him from pulling away: "You must be afraid of the cold. Back then, you didn't wear so much clothes in Qinling."

He remembered clearly that he was tightly wrapped in three layers, and Dai Zihao was only wearing a single shirt.He also lamented why some people are not afraid of the cold.

Now that I think about it, I am not afraid of the cold at all.It's just that he only wanted to survive at the time, and Dai Zihao's value was to realize his goal, so he never cared whether that person was cold or not, let alone warming his hands like this.

Dai Zihao shook his head: "It's not cold, it's just that my hands get cold easily."

He has survived in a more extreme environment, living in extreme cold all day long, and gradually got used to it.It's just that my hands seem to get cold easily since then, even in summer, the temperature is lower than ordinary people's.

[Holding hands, holding hands, holding hands! 】

[Ma De, do you only think about holding hands?My eyes are almost blind from crying now, I feel so sorry for brother Hao to death]

[Knowing that the injury on the wrist was not caused by suicide, I am even more curious...I want to know what he went through to make this happen]

As long as Dai Zihao doesn't speak, no one will ever know what happened to him.

And Dai Zihao is a person who is very good at hiding secrets.

Tang Xingrui lowered his head, looked at his fingers that were stained with heat, and then reached out to wrap his hands around the cold fingertips.

===

It was already evening when we arrived at the Tuotuo River, and it was easy to get lost when driving at night, and they had to turn on the high beams for safety, so the already stretched fuel was even less.

On the contrary, Lao Li is very bachelor: "Anyway, it's not enough. If you use more, it's just a small problem."

It has already snowed outside, and the grass and trees used as fuel have been wet. The humidity is too heavy to light, so it seems that it is easier to just spend the night in the car.

Tang Xingrui put down the car seat, wrapped himself in the military overcoat that he had never left since he came to the plateau, and put on a layer of thermal sleeping bag outside, which can be described as tight and airtight.

"It's really uncomfortable to sleep like this." He stretched his legs and kicked them outside.

"Tomorrow will be better." Dai Zihao was about the same height as Tang Xingrui, and Tang Xingrui couldn't stretch his legs, so naturally he couldn't either.The two 1.8-meter tall men could only curl up on the car seat aggrievedly, unable to stretch.

"I hope so." Tang Xingrui sighed, reached out to change positions, but accidentally hit the handbrake, and immediately became even more frustrated.

"Forget it, let's just sleep another night like this, anyway, it's not like I haven't slept." Tang Xingrui looked at the skylight, and at this time there was heavy snow falling outside, many of which fell on the skylight, covering it There was a layer of white snowflakes.The snowflakes at the bottom melted into water and flowed down the glass.

"Good night," he said softly.

There is no moon tonight, and there are only two or three stars, which dot the sky dimly.

It snowed all night like this.

They spent the night in the car with the sound of snow falling.

Tang Xingrui woke up from the cold many times during the night, and finally woke up when it was dawn, and couldn't fall asleep again.He stretched out his fingers that were red and stiff from the cold, and he hooked it several times before pulling down the zipper on one side.

He breathed into the palm of his hand, and the hot air turned into white mist and floated in the air, blowing away in the hazy morning light.

His eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost, and his face was too stiff to express.Tang Xingrui put his hands on his face and rubbed it vigorously, only then did his pale face turn rosy.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold..." He murmured to himself, shaking, and released himself from the sleeping bag. As soon as his body left the warm sleeping bag and came into contact with the air in the car, he shivered immediately.

Dai Zihao woke up when Tang Xingrui pulled the sleeping bag. He was also very cold, and his chilly body made him even colder. His fingers were gray and dead white, almost without the temperature of a living person. Pulling the zipper The action is blunt.

"Your eyebrows are frosted." Tang Xingrui pointed at him, "Is mine frosted too?"

He smiled, and his eyebrows also curved up, turning into two curvy little white eyebrows.

Dai Zihao nodded, with an imperceptible smile in his eyes.

Tang Xingrui turned his face to the rearview mirror and said, "Looks like a little old man." He complained, wiping off the frost with his fingers.The rest turned into water and ran down his cheeks, and he took a tissue to wipe it off.

He wanted to open the car door and get in, but he didn't push it after a push. Dai Zihao was afraid that he would remove the car door with too much force, so he quickly stopped him.

"It's already freezing outside, we have to wait for the sun to come out and thaw."

"Then we have to wait until the sun comes out?" How long will that take?Tang Xingrui frowned.

A rustling sound came from the walkie-talkie, and Lao Li and the others also woke up.Soon, they discovered the problem that the door could not be opened.

Xu Shanqing: "Frozen?"

Dai Zihao: "Wait for a while."

There was another movement over there for a while, and then calmed down, probably giving up.

In fact, it didn't take long. The clouds on the plateau were thin, and the sun's rays came straight through without weakening. The time for the ice to thaw was much shorter than they thought.

When the car door could be opened, Tang Xingrui immediately pushed the door open and jumped down.

The wind turned the tip of his nose red all at once, he was too lazy to reach out, bent over and jumped, trying to put on the hat behind him, but after jumping like a fool for a long time, the hat didn't move at all, and he almost fell on his head. in the snow.

"Hey, what's going on?" He clicked his tongue, curled his fingers in his pocket and moved, really didn't want to take it out.

He was still struggling fiercely, but suddenly the corner of the hat was pinched and he put it on his head.The wind couldn't pour in in an instant.

Tang Xingrui squinted and smiled at Dai Zihao: "Thank you, Haohao."

Dai Zihao stopped for a moment, remembering the consequences of not allowing him to be called "Haohao" last time, he wisely chose to shut up.

Tang Xingrui looked at the silver-covered land and the stone tablet marked "Tuotuo River" in the distance, and sighed sincerely: "So the origin of that river is here."

When he was in Interstellar, he had heard countless times about the river that fed thousands of creatures and traversed China. It turned out that this was the starting point.Tang Xingrui seemed to have a feeling that he traveled thousands of miles to northern Tibet just for this moment.

See this face.

It is an ordinary river that is so narrow now, but after tens of thousands of miles of continuous rushing, it becomes a natural moat, merges into the sea, and is never seen again.

Tang Xingrui breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the river.

There was a lot of snow last night, and the river was still in the freezing period. The snow fell on the ice surface and melted a lot under the sunlight.

Tang Xingrui stretched out his hand to sweep the snow, the extremely low temperature of the snow made his fingers turn red from the cold.

Suddenly, he saw something move underneath.

"fish!"

There are fish here!

Can you imagine?At an altitude close to [-], in the river water where the temperature is minus ten degrees, there are still living creatures.

It was nothing short of a miracle.

Tang Xingrui's voice attracted everyone, and they gathered in this small area to watch the fish under the ice.

The fish here are different from the fish that are often seen in the market or on the seashore.Most of the fish here are naked without scales, and they are off-white or blue-gray. They have obviously adapted to the high-cold and hypoxic environment here, and have successfully evolved and survived.

"Can this fish be eaten?" Lao Li was a little greedy. He really wanted to eat meat other than beef and mutton.

"You have to fish it up if you can eat it," Tang Xingrui stretched out his hand, making an exaggerated length comparison between his index finger and thumb, "The ice layer here is at least this-thick. Don't you think it's Dai Zihao?"

He also wanted to ask Dai Zihao for confirmation.

Dai Zihao nodded and agreed with him.

Lao Li smashed it and said, "Damn, I'll just talk about it."

Who believes it?Tang Xingrui rolled his eyes.

"Since you can't eat it, don't look at it. Your tsampa and air-dried meat are still waiting for you." Xu Shanqing teased.

"Come on, come on, hey, give me a hand."

Dai Zihao stretched out his hand, Tang Xingrui grasped it, and he pulled it up hard, but he didn't pull it.

"How……"

Tang Xingrui was about to ask what was going on, why Dai Zihao's face was so ugly, when he realized that something was wrong with his feet.

The shoe was already half-sinked, and it was still sinking slowly, and he didn't notice the difference just now!

Tang Xingrui raised his head and gave him a smile that was uglier than crying: "What should I do, Dai Zihao, I can't seem...to get out."
