Chapter 36: Hot

The hotel rooms were scattered, and the classmates who played too late and crazily started to get sleepy. Zhou Yizhi and Yuan Mei returned to the room early. Her hotel room was on the eighth floor. Xue Xi sent them to the door of the room and handed them a bag of snacks. Zhou Yizhi said to her: "Go to bed early and don't play with your mobile phone at night. The buffet will be from 7 to 9 in the morning, so I can't get up to text me."
Zhou Yizhi took the snack bag and asked on a whim: "Do you want to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise?"
Xue Xi hadn't spoken yet, Yuan Mei, who was squatting on the ground looking for the facial cleanser, laughed first: "Sunrise? Recalling, you can get up first and talk about it."
"The weather forecast is inaccurate. There may not be a sunrise tomorrow. It may snow again. Cover more in the evening." Xue Xi finished speaking, walked in and took out the extra duvet from the closet and threw it on the bed of three girls. Ask Zhou Yizhi: "Which side is your bed?"
Zhou Yizhi walked over and pointed to the side near the bathroom.
Xue Xi vigorously shook the down blanket: "Cover it a little bit more first, so as not to catch cold, and then lift it off at night when it gets hot."
Zhou Yizhi saw that Yuan Mei had been looking at himself and him, feeling a little embarrassed: "Okay."
Xue Xi checked the windows of their room again and was pushed out by Zhou Yizhi. Seeing that Zhou Yizhi was a little sleepy, he asked her to wash and sleep early, and when she entered the room and closed the door, he turned and went downstairs.
After Zhou Yizhi had washed, she climbed into bed and played with her mobile phone for a while and fell asleep. Yuan Mei and the other girl who came back to the room were laughing and talking about gossip. She didn't hear all of them and fell asleep without knowing when.
My brother was right. It was really cold at night. Before going to bed, Zhou Yizhi heard the cold wind roaring outside the glass window.
In the middle of the night, some light snow began to roll up.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and even tends to flood the entire mountain.
Zhou Yizhi was a little thirsty in the middle of the night. She raised her upper body and touched the thermos cup by the head of the bed, which seemed to be left by Xue Xi. She unscrewed the thermos cup, and there was boiling water at the right temperature.
She sipped her mouth, moisturized her lips, and then lay down again.
Not knowing why, Zhou Yizhi's right eyelid suddenly jumped a few times for no apparent reason.
She couldn't help reaching out and pressing her right eye, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep without much thinking.
Zhou Yizhi was awakened the next day. During his deep sleep, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the room. Some classmates came in to speak with an anxious and serious tone. Then there were running sounds outside the corridor, and some people kept talking on the phone.
As soon as she tried to open her eyelids, Yuan Mei woke her up: "Remember, get up quickly."
Zhou Yizhi sat up, saw Yuan Mei's face full of worry, and immediately became sober, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Mei said: "The teacher led the team to contact the bus driver in the morning. I had planned to pick up my classmates at 1 this afternoon, but I don’t know why I can’t get in touch with them. It started to snow last night and the outside area was thick. There may be something wrong with the car slipping on the road."
Zhou Yizhi got dressed, got off the bed, walked to the window, and saw that the snow was heavy outside.
The road where the car drove up the mountain was covered with snow, and some trees were bent and cut across the road.
It is normal for the car not to get on in this weather.
Yuan Mei said: "Just now the squad leader came to inform us that we should not run around and stay in the hotel first."
Another girl in the room was a little anxious: "Will you not be able to go down the mountain tonight? Then how can I go to school tomorrow?"
Yuan Mei lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal tomorrow, we will be absent from school."
Zhou Yizhi looked at the snow outside for a while, drew the curtains, and went to the bathroom. She was not worried about when to go home, but her eyelids kept beating, which made her feel a little bit of anxiety in her heart. Can't tell the reason.
Zhou Yizhi recalled that in her previous life, she had also come here for group building. Although she did not come, she remembered that there was no such thing as the weather forecast was inaccurate and the mountain was suddenly blocked by heavy snow. It's okay for the time in this life to be inconsistent, and suddenly such a bad thing happened, it is inevitable that her heart will be crushed by a stone.
But it means that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, and it will be fine when the snow melts. What can happen? Big deal to spend a few more days on the mountain, there are hot springs in the hotel. As Zhou Yizhi thought so, his brows opened quickly.
She walked back to the room with her toothbrush in his mouth, fetched the phone from under the pillow, and sent a message to Xue Xi.
But when she finished washing, her brother did not return.
Zhou Yizhi turned his head and saw Yuan Mei and the others had gone to the buffet service hall to have breakfast, so they followed them downstairs with their mobile phones. After a while she was almost finished eating, and WeChat hadn't received Xue Xi's message. Zhou Yizhi couldn't help but turn off the phone screen, looked up in the cafeteria for a while, but couldn't find it.
Zhou Yizhi's right eyelid twitched slightly.
After returning to the hotel room, she made a few phone calls to the teacher who led the team, but the line was busy and obviously it was busy there.
After a while, Yuan Mei hurriedly came back from the monitor, sat down opposite her, and said, "I asked, it seems that the road was blocked when the car went up the mountain, but the other road has been cleared, so The driver went up the mountain from there, but he hadn't walked that path before, and he turned off. The teacher led the team and took some boys in our class to pick up people."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yizhi stood up immediately and asked, "Pick up people? When did they leave?"
Seeing the look on her face, Yuan Mei was stunned for a moment, and said: "The monitor said five or six in the morning."
It's already ten o'clock now, and I haven't come back yet. Zhou Yizhi couldn't help but began to wear his coat and walked out: "Did the monitor say which way they took?"
Yuan Mei immediately grabbed her: "Remembering, what are you anxious about? What can you do? Besides, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so why don't you go to your brother?"
Only then did Zhou Yizhi react, that he subconsciously wanted to find someone.
She stopped, turned and pressed her right eyelid.
Yes, what can happen, my brother just left the hotel for a few hours and didn't come back. Is he so worried? In any case, he is also a big boy of eighteen meters and eighty meters. He still went with the team of teachers. It may be that the signal on the mountain was not very good, and he did not receive a call for a while.
But I don't know why, I have always had a bad feeling since I got up in the morning.
Seeing her sitting down on the bed, Yuan Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry too much, nothing will happen."
"Yeah." Zhou Yizhi smiled and said, "Thank you."
She turned on the TV casually, changed several channels absently, and saw that the local news was broadcast on the screen.
In the white snow on the screen, she and Yuan Mei both heard the host announce the sound of "landslides and rocks falling". The camera was switched to the highway, and several cars could be seen from a distance. Two of them were smashed out of the pit. This is a white bus, but the lens is too far to see the model.
Zhou Yizhi watched someone being lifted out of the smashed car, and his mind went blank for two seconds.
Yuan Mei and another girl stared at the TV screen, and they were also terrified: "This is the foot of our mountain? This car will not be the shuttle bus in our class, right? Lead the teachers and them--"
"No, no, don't crow's mouth." Yuan Mei's mind was in a mess, and his voice was shaking: "Where is such a coincidence?"
Her mobile phone rang, and she held her mobile phone and said to Zhou Yizhi: "The monitor is calling, I'll go out and pick it up."
Seeing Zhou Yizhi's face turned pale, she didn't say a word, her heart jumped incessantly, and she quickly turned and left the room.
Zhou Yizhi stared at the TV, trying to identify the license plate numbers of the cars, but because the lens was too blurry, snow and rain washed on the lens, it was difficult to see clearly.
Her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body seemed to be pressed into the snow.
It's true that there won't be such a coincidence, but, what if - Zhou Yizhi's eyelids were jumping wildly, and she suddenly remembered that she had seen the news about landslides in heavy snow in her previous life, but at that time it had nothing to do with Zhou Yizhi, and the school The time of the winter team building also happened to be staggered with this incident, so Zhou Yizhi didn't care at all. He opened so many TV news every day, who would remember the time and place one by one?
Zhou Yizhi felt that the thing he feared most was about to happen.
She always felt that she hadn't done any good deeds. How could she be so lucky to have the opportunity of a new life, to make up for the regrets and regrets of the previous life, and to embrace the most cherished person? What if this rebirth in itself was an accident, just a stolen period of time?
In an instant, the feeling of shadow that had been felt when I learned that my brother had died in an air disaster in my previous life returned.
Zhou Yizhi rationally wanted to keep herself calm and wait for news, but when many things really arrived at that moment, there was no way to stay sensible.
When she reacted, she was already walking out with trembling hands and feet.
Yuan Mei called in the corridor.
Before she could say a few words, she was slapped on the shoulder. She turned her head and saw Zhou Yizhi's expression in a very bad state. She was shocked.
Zhou Yizhi answered the phone and asked monitor Xue Xi which way they were going down the mountain from. After asking, he returned the phone to Yuan Mei and turned and ran towards the elevator.
Yuan Mei quickly walked a few steps to follow, but she disappeared in the corridor all at once.
The elevator was still on the first floor, and Zhou Yizhi frantically pressed the elevator floor.
It took a long time for the elevator to come up.
Zhou Yizhi rushed down, and there were many people in the hotel lobby standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows making calls, with anxious expressions, apparently seeing the news.
As soon as Zhou Yizhi put on his down jacket and hat, he rushed out of the hotel and walked towards the intersection down the mountain with one foot and one shallow. She had cold hands and feet, completely unconscious, her temples jumped suddenly, and she just felt unable to breathe.
What if something happens? What if this period of time just gives yourself a little time for dreaming?
Zhou Yizhi walked down the road and quickly got up after a fall.
The hat was blown off, and the cold wind poured in like a knife without noticing it.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, maybe only a few minutes, because she didn't go too far, but in her opinion these few minutes were too long, like a long time.
The footprints in front were stepped on by her, and ice water had already entered the shoes.
She suddenly heard the voice of someone in front of her.
She couldn't help but squinted her eyes to look forward. Because the sky was too dark and it was snowing, Zhou Yizhi turned on the flashlight on the back of the phone and shone it over there.
The group of people over there also took flashlights, and the light fell on her.
Zhou Yizhi didn't see anything clearly, was dazzled in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his hand to block it.
Then a figure suddenly ran towards her. This figure was very familiar. Zhou Yizhi looked up and saw Xue Xi holding a flashlight and striding over the meteors in the heavy snow.
After a while he walked up to her, as if a little surprised: "Yizhi, why did you run out?"
Zhou Yizhi could not explain.
She grabbed Xue Xi's arm and tears suddenly flowed down without warning.
"What's the matter?" Xue Xi's voice suddenly became dumb. He ignored the teacher and classmates behind him. He hugged her into his arms, took off the scarf from his neck, and put it on her neck: "Come out." Don’t wear a scarf either."
Zhou Yizhi buried his face in his arms, and then took a shallow breath, feeling that he could breathe.
Xue Xi shook her hand and rubbed it: "Your hands are too cold."
"I'm so worried, I... saw the news..." Zhou Yizhi suddenly choked up, and she wiped away tears uselessly, sobbing so much that she talked like hiccups: "I'm afraid that rebirth is fake, I wake you up as soon as you sleep. It's gone."
Zhou Yizhi thought about it many times afterwards, and felt that he was very embarrassed this day, not calm, and there was no need to find someone. But in fact, many times when things happen to the person who is most important to you, you can't stay calm at all. The body has reacted instead of her.
She also realized at this time that if there was really only possessiveness for the person in front of her, then why she was so scared as if she had lost the entire world.
Xue Xi also realized this.
He realized that Zhou Yizhi's liking for him might be true.
Maybe it was out of guilt at the beginning, out of unwillingness, out of the feeling of wanting to catch the driftwood, but those are no longer important, she may be true, and have real feelings for him.
Xue Xi's breathing was a bit short.
He put Zhou Yizhi's down jacket hat on her head, hugged her harder, and said in her ear: "No, I'll be where you are."
There was crazy joy in his heart, but at this moment, it was more distressed for the person in his arms.
