Luo Xiang short stories

It is not certain that this small house can successfully survive the coming coldest and cruelest season on earth.

"Captain, it's all done." After nearly four hours of work, Xia Qi reported to Luo.

"Okay, you guys take your things and leave first, and I'll be there later." Luo glanced out the window. The weather is very good now, and there will be no situation that he can't deal with for at least half an hour.He had every reason to stay a little longer, and to dismiss the others.

"Captain, hurry up." They also knew that for these tasks, their own captain would definitely conduct a final inspection.They were not too worried. On the one hand, the weather allowed, and on the other hand, the hut was very close to their boat.

Wait until everyone leaves the base.Luo began to check the work of his team members.To be honest, those guys are very serious, and I am quite relieved.So, in fact, most of his purpose is not here.Luo sat down at the table and began to read the journals left by the people who had visited the cabin.

The door opened slightly, letting in some cold air.He raised his head, and the figure of the intruder was immediately reflected in his dark golden pupils.This is a guy he is quite familiar with, but he only shows up when he is alone.

"Are you leaving?" The blond man was wearing a black suit, looking out of place in this icy white world.He jumped onto the table lightly and nimbly, and sat down in front of the man in the woolen cap and long black coat.

As a scientist, of course, one should not believe in any theory of ghosts and gods, but there are some things that just cannot be believed.For example, the guy in front of him who looks like a human is actually not human.He calls himself Sanji and always appears in this image in a black suit.Luo knew very well that this guy should be regarded as the patron saint of the North Pole.Although he didn't know why Sanji appeared in front of him, and he appeared for several years in a row, but there was no doubt that he was already an inseparable part of himself.Every spring and summer when I go to the North Pole for scientific research, I always see him, which seems to be some kind of agreement between the two.

"Come with me." Luo looked at him.

The blond smiled. "Come with you as what? A little arctic fox or a little rock, or something?"

"Anything is fine, as long as you are willing to go with me."

"Luo," the blond man sighed softly, jumped off the table and stretched out his arms and circled around the room, "This is where I want to stay. It's cold, desolate, hopeless, and hopeful." , my existence proves that it is meaningful."

"Of course it makes sense. But the climate is getting warmer, and even you can't protect the world. Maybe in a few years, all the ice and snow in the Arctic will melt. Not only here, but also a large number of glaciers in the Antarctic. There are signs of complete melting. The rise will affect all low-latitude regions and even the climate of the earth, but only you will be affected the most.” Luo held his chin and asked him calmly, “If these ice and snow are gone, will you also disappear together? "

"Who knows..." Sanji walked to the window, "You'd better leave tonight, the sea will be frozen the day after tomorrow."

Luo moved his gaze out of the window.He knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what this guy said.He still remembers the situation in which he met Sanji for the first time.

There is something wrong with the sled. If it is just a minor problem in normal times, it is an out-and-out crisis now, because the unpredictable clouds on the snowy mountains in the distance indicate that a strong wind will arrive soon.Whether or not the instruments on the sled can be kept is the second most important thing.

His team members and the scientific research ship are far away, and there is no time to rescue them. Now he can only rely on himself.This is almost death beckoning.Luo struggled to tie the sledge to the shovel, which dug deep into the snow and ice.Of course, in the face of the next storm, I don't know if it can play a real fixed role.

In just a few minutes, the terrible wind has reached the side from the top of the mountain.Just when he could only sigh secretly and resign himself to fate, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Hey, come with me."

Luo raised his head in a daze, wondering whether he had experienced auditory hallucinations, and saw a thin blond man in a black suit standing in front of him.He didn't seem to be afraid of the severe cold of minus [-] degrees, and stood leisurely a few meters away from the sled with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Idiot, hurry up!" The blond man stretched out his hands to hold down his wildly blown hair, and walked towards him.

Trafalgaro was grabbed by the arm by the man and pulled aside.He saw the blond man stomp on the ice as if at random, and the ground caved in to reveal a cave big enough for two.Without time to delay, he followed the man and jumped in.

Ice and snow kept pouring into the cave along with the strong wind, but it was already many times better than on the ground.Only then did Luo start to look at this strange guy seriously.

"Are you... a resident here?" Of course, this question was very unconvincing because even he himself didn't believe it.There are no Eskimos around here at all.What's more, with this guy's attire, he will be frozen to death in the polar region, right? !But it seemed that he was a hundred times more lively than himself.

"My name is Sanji."

"Trafalgaroo."

"I should be regarded as the patron saint here. You are really lucky to meet Lao Tzu."

Luo squinted at him.Is this kind of nonsense that a scientist can easily believe?

"Believe it or not, after you go out, remember to say that you fell into the arctic fox's cave by chance. Although they can't have such a big cave, there's nothing wrong with saying it's a coincidence."

"Where did the arctic fox come from?"

"Come on, sit down and rest, you can maintain your strength." Sanji smiled lightly, and dragged him to sit down at the bottom of the cave.

Luo suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.The man in the black suit disappeared, replaced by an arctic fox with snow-white fur, lying obediently in his arms.He stared blankly for a long time before tentatively putting his hands on those soft white hairs.The fox narrowed his eyes, and seemed to lick his hand with great satisfaction.

"It seems that even if you don't believe it, it won't work."

After the storm passed, after a while, Pekin, Bepo and others finally rushed to the rescue.Surprisingly, their captain was unscathed, and basically all the instruments were still on the sled, only the topmost package was missing.When the team arrived, they were surprised to see that their captain was watching a snow-white arctic fox disappear into the snow and ice.

"It should be said that it saved my life."

"The captain is really lucky... such a small creature can save lives."

Trafalgaro said nothing more.He thought to himself, it seems that what he encountered this time...is much more complicated than a simple creature...and even challenges the worldview of atheists.

In short, this guy named Sanji will always appear from time to time to help him when he encounters difficulties alone.Of course, Luo also asked about the reason for this.But Sanji's answer is always, to save the errant scientist.

In fact, this is quite correct, why does it sound so wrong?

Trafalgaroo went to the window, and the sky was still fine.However, the weather in the polar regions is fickle. A 20-centimeter-wide ice crack seen today may become [-] meters wide after sleeping.Sanji said it will freeze the day after tomorrow, so it will.He has proved his correctness countless times, such as predicting when a glacier will collapse, and which tundra will appear the white wolf or musk ox he is looking for.As a patron saint, Sanji knows this land well.

"Then let's set off tomorrow." After a pause, Luo still asked unwillingly, "Are you really not going with me?"

The blond man asked him back. "Why do you always want me to go with you?"

"Aren't you supernatural, can't you guess?"

"Well, it's not...it's just," the blond man considered his words, "I don't understand human feelings very well..."

"You made me accept something as unscientific as your existence, why can't you try to accept what I gave you?"

The blond man turned his face, and Luo was standing beside him, looking at him with his head down.Those dark golden pupils were so focused that he was a little flustered.I don't know how tens of thousands of years have been spent on this planet, and suddenly such a human appeared, making me at a loss.Of course, it is very simple to avoid humans, as long as you want to, you can disappear completely at any time.But Sanji found that he couldn't do it.Sometimes he even felt that Luo would deliberately make some low-level mistakes when acting alone, so as to attract himself to show up.And what puzzled me was that every time I did what he wanted, like throwing myself into a trap.

"How about it..." He finally compromised, "If we can meet again next year, I will go with you."

[I think this needs to be deleted]

The man answered casually. "That's something for next year. Let's think about it when I wake up. Maybe it's a snow owl, isn't it good? Well, if you don't mind, let me live in your hut this winter."

"Up to you. I'd rather have you in the house waiting for me when I come back next year."

Early the next morning, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the sea.The crew members were a little nervous. If the thin ice was frozen harder, their ship would be completely trapped.Apparently, though, their captain didn't care at all, he didn't even show
