Chapter 1231 Extremely Cold Land
When Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou returned, the whole family sat together and had a lively dinner.
During the meal, Grandma Zhou asked Su Xing and He Xu, "How did you encounter that person on the mountain today?"
Su Xing said, "We ran into him on our way down the mountain. He wasn't on the main road; he was leaning against a big rock, taking off his clothes..."
"Oh my god!" Grandma Zhou exclaimed, slapping her thigh. "Taking off her own clothes like that, she was practically freezing to death!"
He Xu said, "His legs were still bleeding, staining the snow on his body red."
Uncle Zhou asked, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Su Xing said, "It's varicose veins; the blood vessels burst from the cold."
Upon hearing this, the people at the table couldn't help but gasp.
Zhou Mingyue asked, "What is he wearing?"
Su Xing said, "I was just wearing a not-too-thick windproof jacket and windproof pants."
My aunt's eyes widened in surprise. "My goodness! She still dares to climb mountains like that!"
Grandpa Zhou shook his head. "He's incredibly lucky to have survived, he didn't freeze to death on the mountain!"
Grandma Zhou said, "If that person had met Xiao Xing and Xiao He, then his life was not meant to end."
The man who nearly froze to death on Shou Mountain became the center of attention at the Zhou family's dinner table.
The Zhou family members really couldn't understand how some tourists could come to Northeast China in the dead of winter without taking any precautions to keep warm!
He Xu said, "Some people have lived in relatively warm regions for a long time and have no concept of weather conditions ranging from minus 20 to minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius."
Su Xing sighed inwardly: In a few years, when the era of short videos arrives, we will see many tourists visiting Northeast China wearing only a shirt and trousers, and even some wearing flip-flops outdoors in the freezing cold! That would be quite a sight!
This kind of risky behavior is really not advisable. In Northeast China, it can really lead to frostbite, amputation, or even death.
If you're lucky, you might experience amenorrhea or hematuria due to freezing.
After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted for a while.
Around 10 o'clock, everyone took a shower and washed up before going to their rooms to rest.
Today, Zhou Mingyue did not stay downstairs, but went back to her own home upstairs.
After taking a shower, Su Xing felt quite energetic, so she turned on her computer and started working.
Working until after midnight, she shared the completed comic strip with her employees so they could do the outlining, coloring, and post-production.
She then thought of the man she had saved during the day.
If he hadn't met her and He Xu today, he probably would have lost his life on Shou Mountain.
It's the winter season now, which is also the peak season for tourism in Northeast China. I estimate that there are quite a few tourists like him who bravely venture into the Northeast dressed in light clothing.
She felt that drawing a series of simple comics could help people who had never been to Northeast China understand what temperatures of -20 to -50 degrees Celsius really meant.
Also, here's what you should wear when you come to Northeast China.
The Northeast region is vast. From Lushun, a coastal city in the south, to Beiji Village in the Greater Khingan Mountains in the north, the straight-line distance between the two places is more than 1600 kilometers, while the road and rail distance is 2000-2200 kilometers.
The geographical span is large, and the temperature difference is also very large.
In the southern part of Northeast China, the temperature in the depths of winter can be as low as -10 to -20 degrees Celsius.
Heading towards H province, H city is relatively warm, with winter temperatures dropping to -20 to -30 degrees Celsius. In contrast, some of my country's coldest regions, such as Mohe City, Tahe County, and Genhe in Inner Mongolia, have temperatures that can reach -40 to -50 degrees Celsius, with extreme lows reaching as low as -58 degrees Celsius!
These regions are characterized by frequent extreme low temperatures in winter and extremely low normal temperatures.
To be honest, Su Xing grew up in H city and has never even tried those cold polar regions yet.
It's worth noting that some refrigerators have freezer compartments as low as -18 degrees Celsius, while in some areas of Northeast China, the temperature is one to two times lower than that of the freezer compartment.
If your clothes and shoes aren't warm enough, coming to Northeast China could be deadly!
She draws simple line drawings, and she does it very quickly.
After finishing the drawing, she uploaded it directly to Weibo.
After posting on Weibo, Su Xing turned off his computer and went to bed.
morning.
Su Xing and He Xu accompanied the Zhou family elders to breakfast.
After the meal, they planned to go to the fish farm with Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou to help out or something.
The Zhou father and son didn't intend for the two children to help; they just took them out to have fun.
Uncle Zhou knocked on the door, and the young couple followed him downstairs and took a car to the fish farm.
After settling into his seat in the back, He Xu glanced at his phone.
He saw that someone had added him on WeChat with the note: "Hello, my savior."
He Xu accepted the friend request.
They immediately sent a bunch of thank-you messages.
Xu: "No need to be so polite."
The other party then immediately sent another transfer.
He Xu clicked "receive payment" and immediately transferred the money to his girlfriend.
"That person returned the money they advanced you yesterday."
Su Xing smiled and accepted the request, then casually asked, "How is he now?"
He Xu then typed a message to inquire about the other party's situation.
The other person sent a voice message, their voice tinged with dampness, "The doctor said a lot of the skin on my legs and arms is frostbitten, it will take a while to treat..."
He Xu replied, "Get proper treatment. The hospitals in Northeast China are quite professional in treating bone injuries and frostbite."
The other party sent another voice message, expressing their gratitude and complaining.
He Xu found the other person's stickiness a bit annoying, so he comforted him for a couple of minutes and then made an excuse to end the conversation.
That day, Su Xing and He Xu spent most of the day at the fish farm.
Help with packing, selling, and so on.
Grandpa Zhou said, "You don't need to lift a finger. Go play somewhere else."
Uncle Zhou also said, "It's fishy and dirty here, don't get your clothes dirty."
He Xu said, "It's okay, we're not afraid of getting dirty."
Su Xing said, "It's a busy day, so we'll lend a hand."
Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, everyone's here to stock up on New Year's goods."
They ate lunch at the fish farm.
Around 2 PM, Grandpa Zhou sent them back.
"You're in the way, go back and keep your grandma company."
He certainly didn't think Su Xing and He Xu were in the way; he just felt the environment here was bad, that it was unfair to them, and that he was afraid they would get tired.
Uncle Zhou tossed them a car key, saying, "You take my car back, and we'll take another car back later."
Su Xing and He Xu exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.
In the end, I compromised and went home first.
Tomorrow is the day they leave Xingcheng and return to the capital.
Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou packed several boxes of seafood, sending two boxes back to Beijing, some to Su Shaohui and Zhou Liyun, and some to the Su family in Jiujiang.
