On the day they arrived at Inta, the students brought by Suisui were not only rewarded with retro photos and the rare aurora, they were particularly impressed by the expanded hot springs and the venison served by the campfire. of satisfaction.
After a night of recuperation, early the next morning, these girls did not need anyone to guide them, so they got out of the warm tent and once again got into the wooden floor. Ore dressing workshop. It wasn't until the hunters prepared a surprisingly caloric breakfast that they reluctantly returned to the tent.
After breakfast, the girls were grouped in pairs and led by two hunters, a man and a woman. Under the translation of Wei Ran and Suisui, they began to learn how to use shotguns.
The shotguns Ji Ma prepared for these girls were the SKS semi-automatic rifles that were the easiest to obtain. From the beginning of the teaching, it was stipulated that the magazine could only be loaded with one bullet, and he emphasized many times that when watching Not loading the gun before reaching the prey can be regarded as eliminating the danger from the source.
In addition to these SKS for hunting, the careful Ji Ma also prepared many additional military weapons purely for them to experience. From the compact Makarov pistol to the SVD sniper rifle, various civilian shotguns using shotguns, and even the PKM light machine gun, they are all available.
But without exception, if you want to experience these weapons, you have to pay extra per bullet. But fortunately, their charges are quite reasonable, even lower than the prices of bullets available in Kazan.
Except for the Italian girl with a hard-to-pronounce name who generously bought two machine gun belts, with the assistance of a patrol member, she focused on a truck that had been scrapped as early as the Soviet era. , she took pleasure in shooting photos of a certain boy she had posted personally. The other girls made a more sensible choice and bought a magazine for various weapons and took turns to experience them.
For a while, the abandoned mine was filled with gunshots one after another, as well as excited screams that were no quieter than the gunshots.
Thanks to this, Wei Ran and Suisui were finally freed from their translation work. After taking a few photos with the girls, they followed Ji Ma into the warm tent. inside.
"How did you find this place?" Suisui took off her noise-canceling headphones and asked curiously.
"Coincidence" Wei Ran smiled and briefly introduced all the previous events, except that he skipped over the forest ranger who was shot when he and Ji Ma rescued him in this mine. experience.
Hearing this, Suisui looked at Ji Ma, "When our exam is over, we might be able to bring a group of classmates over. It is estimated that there will be at least 20 people, and there may be many boys by then. , you should prepare more bullets."
"Really?" Ji Ma, who was busy pouring coffee into the thermos cups of the girls outside, raised his head in surprise, and almost accidentally killed him. Pouring hot coffee on his hands.
“It’s not a big problem!”
Suisui said proudly, “I studied tourism management.Many students from our department are interested in coming over to have a look, and whether it is hunting or playing with guns, they should be very attractive to them, so maybe they can attract more people in the future. "
Needless to say the rest, the excited Ji Ma went on the road and said, "As long as they are willing to bring people here, we can give up some profits! Victor, what do you call that Chinese word? "
"Commission," Wei Ran replied with a smile.
Ji Ma nodded vigorously, "Yes, pick up the car! Just pick up the car! As long as your classmates can bring tourists here, they will pick up cars! "
This is not something to mention, brother... Wei Ran and Suisui looked at each other with a strange expression, and they tacitly agreed not to correct each other's out-of-tune Chinese words.
Waiting outside The girls had vented enough. The hunters gathered the weapons they had brought for trial and locked them in the cabin of the plane. Then they entered the forest not far away on their skis. Soon after, these hunters all changed their clothes in an ingenious way. Dressed in Santa Claus, he drove the similarly decorated reindeer sleigh back to the flat ground in the center of the mine. Now even Suisui in the tent couldn't sit still, so he picked up the SLR on the table and rushed out.
Wei Ran, who also picked up the old camera, reminded before leaving the tent, "Jima, it seems you need to buy a professional enough camera, and by the way, you can also go to Teacher Dalia to learn how to take pictures. ”
“If you make money this time, buy it! "Ji Ma happily accepted Wei Ran's suggestion. While talking, he also put the thermos cups filled with coffee and labeled with names into a small basket.
Hearing this, Wei Ran slowed down. He stepped forward and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, can you make money this time? ”
“Of course! "
Ji Ma had no intention of keeping Wei Ran a secret, and replied cheerfully, "Although there are not many people this time, after excluding the cost, each of us can earn at least about 20,000 rubles. . And after all, this is the first time, so it’s not a small amount. And that’s not counting the money for selling bullets and the money for tomorrow’s hunting. Those bullets and prey have no cost. If, as she said, 20 tourists can come at a time, for the same five days, each of us may be able to get 50,000, 60,000 or more. "
"Just make whatever you have." Wei Ran no longer had any doubts, opened the tent curtain and got out.
Wait until Ji Ma eagerly gave each girl a thermos cup After drinking coffee in the sleigh and making some dancing gestures to remind them to put on the snow goggles and gloves and scarves in the sleigh, he personally ordered a sleigh and pulled Wei Ran and Suisui, who were holding cameras, to follow the sled. The convoy left the mine and rushed into the dense forest, which was also covered with thick snow.
After riding a sled in the forest for half a day and taking photos one by one, the sky turned dark. It was getting dark, and everyone returned to the camp. After a sumptuous dinner, they boarded the plane again, took off and flew towards the east.
In the warm cabin filled with noise, earingAs a tour guide, he used a communication headset to introduce the Ural Mountains that are already lying at the feet of everyone and why Europe and Asia use this mountain range as the dividing line.
After crossing this mountain range, Arili, who was brave and talented, even shut down the engine of the An-2 aircraft, allowing this aircraft, which was no longer young, to provide the people in the cabin with The quietest environment to enjoy the gorgeous aurora outside.
Compared with the girls, including Suisui, who had been attracted by the shocking scenery outside the porthole, Wei Ran nervously gestured to Ji Ma to ask about the situation.
On the contrary, Ji Mahun waved his hand nonchalantly to indicate that it was okay. He stood up unhurriedly and took out a section of the seat belt from the bulkhead and connected it to his belt, and then took off a similar one. He held the tractor rocker thing in his hand and shook it towards Wei Ran.
After ten minutes of free taxiing, Alili, who was in charge of piloting the plane, started the engine again and steered the old plane, which was almost touching the top of the tree canopy, to climb smoothly for a while. At the same time, another following plane came very boldly and performed an exciting tumbling action in front of the girls' cameras.
"How dare you do such a dirty job..." Wei Ran muttered in fear, until the other An-2 "rolled" away, then he breathed a sigh of relief. .
After flying under the brilliant aurora for a full hour, Alili changed course, climbed over the Ural Mountains again, and landed steadily on the brightly lit abandoned iron ore deposits.
While the girls, led by Suisui, got into the brightly lit mineral processing workshop to soak in the hot springs, Jima and Alili also approached Wei Ran, who had just brought out the guqin to practice for a while.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran quickly closed the wooden box containing the guqin.
"I want you to have a drink"
Jima took out a bottle of vodka from his arms with a playful smile, unscrewed it, and poured the cold liquid into the one that Ali had just placed. On the cup, Misha, who came in a little later, opened the cans one by one.
Wei Ran took the wine glass without knowing why, drank it down happily, and then looked at the three people curiously. If these three people didn't have something special to do, they would never take the initiative to find him at this time. Door-to-door.
After finishing a glass of wine, Jima and Alili looked at each other, poured wine into the glasses again and said simply, "Victor, we need your help."
< p>Wei Ran put down the wine glass he had just raised, "What are you doing?""After these girls leave, how about coming with us to an abandoned military base east of the Ural Mountains?" Ji Ma scratched his head, "That place was accidentally discovered by Alili before. We would like your help to see if it is worth developing into a tourist attraction."
"Abandoned military base?"
Wei Ran frowned, a lot of things were thrown away when the Soviet Union collapsed., which includes military bases. But the three of them haven't managed the camp outside the tent yet, so why do they think of the abandoned military base they're developing again?
Seemingly guessing Wei Ran’s doubts, Ji Ma took the initiative to explain, “Most of the weapons and ammunition we used to experience today were found in that abandoned military base. When Aurora said today that the firearms shooting experience can attract many tourists, that’s where we immediately thought of.”
The Aurora in Jima’s mouth is Suisui’s Russian name. This name has nothing to do with her original meaning of "Goddess of Dawn". It is just Professor Alexei's way of commemorating his and Zhou Shujin's first encounter on the Aurora cruiser.
Wei Ran, whose curiosity was aroused, hesitated for a moment and asked, "But if I go with you, who will send them back to Kazan?"
"I will send them back." Go back!" Misha said proactively, "I can speak some English, so it won't be a big problem to communicate with them."
"And I contacted Ms. Zhou today and she will pick her up in Kazan. It's a machine." Jima said immediately.
Since the other party has made arrangements, Wei Ran nodded happily, "In that case, after they leave, let's go to the abandoned military base you mentioned!"
