Qiao Xuejun asked the system: "How could this happen?"
The system hesitated and paused, finally giving an explanation: "She's dead."
Qiao Xuejun: “?” Then what is alive now?
System: “…I don’t know.”
Zhao Xian also wiped his face and neck, and poured the water in the washbasin into the foot basin: "I will continue to study it later, from head to toe."
He brought the foot basin to the kang: "Come and wash your feet."
Qiao Xuejun walked over and took off her shoes. "Did Shen Xingtang say anything during this time? Or behave in any unusual way?"
Zhao Xian: "It's the same as before, nothing obviously unusual."
Qiao Xuejun: "There's something fishy about her, be careful."
The two chatted while washing up, and Qiao Xuejun climbed onto the kang after washing up.
Zhao Xian carried the waste water after washing and poured it into the waste bucket at the door. There was a waste bucket or box in front of every dormitory door.
Someone from the water purification plant will come to collect it tomorrow.
Domestic water here is recycled and reused after initial purification. For example, the base has a brick kiln that can be used directly for mixing mud. It can also be used to flush blood stains at the blue oil factory.
After pouring the water, Zhao Xian closed the door and returned to the room.
He took the basin and put it on the shelf, then turned around and walked to the kang, and found that Qiao Xuejun was already asleep.
His breathing was even and he was already fast asleep.
He turned off the light, climbed onto the bed quietly, and gently held her in his arms.
She must be really tired today.
I went to bed late yesterday. I delivered the ice-footed horse until four o'clock and got up at five-thirty. I only had an hour and a half of sleep. I got up early to help the ice-harvesting team.
I accompanied the newly hired Ice-Foot Horse Carriage Team up and down the mountain four or five times.
Then go to the refuge to breed little Rudina chickens.
Just came out of the lab not long ago.
It's half past eleven now.
Zhao Xian gently kissed Qiao Xuejun on the top of her head.
He held her right wrist again and began to massage it.
He moved lightly and Qiao Xuejun didn't react.
She shouldn't have been this tired. With the temperature dropping significantly, many things had to be accelerated, and it was very rushed.
It was also because his teacher Qiao had a strong character that she never complained even though she was so busy.
But seeing her so tired, I feel a little distressed.
I can't go on like this, I'll be exhausted.
She should take a rest.
Zhao Xian had an idea in mind and continued to hold the man's hands.

The Ice-Foot Horse team was becoming more and more skilled, and since Ice-Foot Horses are a relatively docile breed, Qiao Xuejun followed them for three consecutive days without any problems.
The ice harvesting team also felt relieved.
The way ice is harvested has completely changed now.
The ice harvesting team is only responsible for transporting ice from the foot of the mountain to the top, unloading all the ice at the ice storage field next to the base, and then going down the mountain for the second trip.
The speed is much faster, just as planned, and it can run at least 6 times. If the speed is even faster, and the weather is good, and the sunset is ten minutes later, it can still squeeze in a 7th trip.
The salmon still challenges and triumphs every day.
Ren Wangwang also brought the patrol soldiers and teamed up to scold them when they came in the morning.
Although Salmon didn't understand what was being said, it was obvious that he was being scolded.
The provocation became even more arrogant.
After the second day, when they confirmed that the carriage team was operating properly and only needed to appear during the day, the patrol team no longer had to worry.
In the morning, they set up an ambush and when the salmon arrived, they began to chase them relentlessly, without having to look back to see if there were other sea monsters lying in ambush on the ice.
In this way, we successfully caught two salmon.
After that, the salmon team was more cautious.
It was not until the third day that they finally discovered that the ice-harvesting team did not appear in the morning or evening, and only worked during daylight hours.
"Damn, this is the first time I've heard a sea monster laugh so obscenely." Ren Wangwang said.
They were eating together in the cafeteria, and Ren Wangwang couldn't help but talk about his interactions with Salmon over the past few days.
The salmon were delighted to find that the ice harvesters hadn't shown up at other times, and their provocative behavior escalated to a new level, even making mock human laughter.
Quite creepy.
Dr. An also observed the sea monsters' reactions and told Ren Wangwang, "They think their strategy is successful and are confused as to why we don't submit to them."
Ren Wangwang pouted, "I surrender to it, damn it."
After lunch, Qiao Xuejun followed Ren Wangwang out of the base. She planned to go down and take a look.
On the way down the mountain, Qiao Xuejun saw that the iron walls of the patrol booth were all covered with fish skin, and a layer of wooden walls was simply added outside the fish skin.
Windproof and heat-insulating.
Ren Wangwang said, "The temperature in our patrol booth is a bit higher, so the treatment is a bit better. However, it really consumed a lot of fish skin! One patrol booth, but covered with two layers of fish skin! It seems a bit wasteful."
Although there is plenty of fish skin, it takes all the hands in the tailoring room to work together to tan it.
These can all be made into clothes.
Many people think so. They think that steel houses don't need protection and that fish skin is more cost-effective for making clothes.
However, he heard that the suggestion to protect the patrol booth was initiated by Teacher Qiao, and he trusted Teacher Qiao anyway.
But some people are puzzled.
Qiao Xuejun: "It's safe this way."
The first major temperature drop will come in three days, to minus 70 degrees Celsius. If we don’t take these warming measures, all these patrol booths will have to be rebuilt.
Ren Wangwang said, "Isn't it the coldest time now? The weather experts said the lowest temperature last night was -55°C."
Now after lunch, it is noon when the sun is at its highest and the temperature is minus 45 degrees Celsius.
Qiao Xuejun: "Be prepared for the temperature to continue to drop."
Ren Wangwang glanced at Qiao Xuejun and nodded, "That's what the weather team said today! But they didn't predict how low the temperature would drop. They just said to be conservative and prepare for even lower temperatures."
He continued, "It's getting colder day by day. Fortunately, we prepared the fish skin in advance. Otherwise, if we prepared it today, it would be too late."
"It's freezing cold. I wonder how low the temperature will drop. Will we all be stuck in the base?"
