The abandoned military base shrouded in the blizzard was accumulating more and more snow. Even the tail of the An-2 aircraft was partially buried in the snow.
On the third floor of the Soviet building with an iron door on the right, the bonfire in the iron bucket releases warm temperature, and the fragrance from the four deer legs placed around the iron bucket is even more overwhelming. The whole floor.
Around the bonfire, Wei Ran and others sat on a thick wolf skin blanket. While chatting, they picked up a knife from time to time and cut off a small strip from the deer leg. Grilled venison, or tear open a pack of snacks provided by Suisui, and finish with a mouthful of cold vodka.
When the conversation got exciting, Alili took out a bone flute that had been wrapped with pulp from his arms, and skillfully played an unknown but particularly beautiful tune.
Suisui, who was already a little confused from drinking, was not to be outdone. She wiped her greasy paws clean on Wei Ran's body, then opened a suitcase full of snacks and pulled out a white harmonica, playing He wrote the classic "Hawthorn Tree".
I have to admit that although each of these guys is rougher than the last, in the field of art, they do have talents unique to the Slavic nation. So almost as soon as the harmonica sounded, Jima and Alili started singing along.
Although it sounds a bit weird for these two rough old men to sing a love song together, but the atmosphere is such that no one cares about these details.
When the song ended, Suisui shook the harmonica and threw it back into the box. She gloated at Wei Ran and raised her chin, "It's your turn."
This wicked little thing naturally knows that Wei Ran is a musical idiot who can sing the national anthem off-key, but it is a rare opportunity to see him make a fool of himself, so of course he cannot let it go easily.
If it had been a month ago, Wei Ran might have given in, but during this period, he had learned some basics of guqin, and would play the bed whenever he had time. He took the piano out and played with it twice.
So although he still couldn't play a complete song, he still had no problem fooling the two booing men opposite him and the drunk little girl next to him.
"Come here, I'll show you my skills today."
Wei Ran deliberately pretended to be confident and took Suisui and handed it over He wiped the grease on his hands with wet wipes, and then took out his precious piano case from the conference room.
After he pretended to cross his legs on the wolfskin blanket and put the guqin on his legs, he slowly plucked the strings.
I don’t know if it’s the sound quality of the guqin itself, or it’s the catalysis of alcohol. Wei Ran actually played a small part of the song "Xian Weng Cao" that he barely remembered. Although there were many mistakes in the playing, fortunately, neither Jima, Alili nor Suisui, who was confused by drinking, seemed to catch it.
After all, this part of the talent show was fooled, Wei Ran quickly put away the guqin and put it aside.The topic was brought to other aspects.
The dinner lasted for nearly two hours. When the meat on the four deer legs was almost eaten by everyone, the two vodka bottles placed next to everyone were also completely empty.
"It's getting late, it's time to rest."
Ari yawned, pointed to the two adjacent rooms facing the conference room and said, " We stayed in those two offices last time, and the beds are still inside. If you use a kerosene heater, remember to open the ventilation window above the door."
"Suisui, You have a room to yourself?" Wei Ran shook the girl next to him, but unfortunately the latter had already fallen asleep using the wooden piano case as a pillow.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."
Wei Ran got up unsteadily, stretched his numb legs, and then pulled Suisui along. He dragged the wolfskin blanket underneath him and the piano case into the nearest office.
“This drinking capacity is far from that of Professor Alexei.”
While teasing, Jima, who was following behind, also helped to put the kerosene heating stove and wolf skin blanket. I moved my sleeping bag in and opened a fist-wide gap in the ventilation window above the door.
“But this bad temper is exactly the same as my aunt’s.” Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, spread the wolf skin blanket on the hard bed, and then helped Suisui take off her shoes and hugged her again. Go up.
While he was covering himself with blankets, Jima also lit the kerosene heater and placed it on the table between the two single beds. After settling Suisui, who had already started talking in her sleep, the two left the room and sat next to the still-burning bonfire again, placing the previously packed canvas bag on the floor between them.
"It's best to ask Mr. Nicholas or Mr. Culp about this as soon as possible," Wei Ran said in a low voice.
Jima took out a bottle of vodka from the wooden box behind him, unscrewed it, and asked while pouring the wine, "You want to use that spy to inquire about the situation of this military base?
Wei Ran picked up the wine glass and took a sip. After thinking for a moment, he expressed his guess, "More than that, based on the clues we found, the observatory on the top of the mountain was probably conducted in the Soviet Union." The Venus project was abandoned midway, but at the same time, you can see that the military base at the foot of the mountain was probably abandoned around the time of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. If there were no accidents in the middle, the Soviet Union had no reason to abandon it at all. ."
"Do you suspect it is related to the spy?" Jima asked in surprise, having already picked up the second glass of wine.
"Perhaps only Nikolai or Karp can give us the answer to this question"
Wei Ran waved his hand, indicating that Jima did not need to pour himself any more wine, holding the empty wine glass. He continued, "But no matter what the reason is, as you just said, the most important thing is to use the name of the spy to ask about the situation of this military base. In addition, if we can try to let the person in the observatory telescopeRestored, it's more attractive than those glass-roofed houses in Finland. "
"Leave this matter to me! " Ji Ma promised with eager eyes.
"The other thing is this canvas bag."
Wei Ran pointed to something on the floor between the two of them, "Wait for Nico. After Mr. La gives a positive answer, you can take this canvas bag to talk to Professor Alexei. Although these things are already outdated for spies, it is probably no problem to sell them for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. , the only pity is that the most valuable spy camera inside was taken away by Suisui. "
"If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be able to find these things, right? "
Ji Ma was particularly contented. He pointed to the rooms on both sides of the corridor and said, "And there are so many rooms here. Maybe we can dig out some other things. "
Wei Ran shook his head noncommittally, "It would be a big joke if we could find other spy equipment. "
"How will you know if you don't try it?"
Ji Ma put away the canvas bag confidently, "Victor, is that computer on the top of the mountain worth anything? ”
“Not only that ternary computer, but those movie films are also valuable things. But again, before you understand the true situation of this military base, whether it is the package of spy tools, or the films and computers, it is best not to sell them in a hurry. "
Jima Bi made an OK gesture, "Don't worry, Victor! I'm not going to get myself into trouble. "
"It's good for you to know," Wei Ran said and stood up, "I'm going to go back to sleep first. Do you need me to help keep watch tonight? "
"No need." Ji Ma took a sip from the wine bottle, "This is safer than the hot spring camp, so rest in peace! ”
Hearing this, Wei Ran pushed open the ajar door, glanced at Suisui, who was still sleeping soundly, and the heating stove that was emitting scarlet light and heat waves, then locked the door and adjusted the temperature. He dimmed the gas lamp, spread the wolf-skin blanket that was still on the ground on the other bed opposite the table, took off his shoes and covered it with a thick blanket, resting his head on the piano case and closing his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, when Wei Ran was awakened by the movement outside the door, Suisui on the bed opposite was still drooling and sleeping soundly.
When he opened the door, Alili, who had gotten up early, was already cooking oatmeal in a small stainless steel pot around a bonfire made of bricks, while Jima in the distance turned into a demolition worker and was demolishing the building with a crowbar he found from nowhere. There were bricks and cement covering the windows.
Through the glass windows that were covered with dirt and dust, Wei Ran could vaguely see that the snow outside was still strong, and even the raging cold wind was getting stronger. What worried him even more was that not far downstairs, the An-2 aircraft held by a wire rope was like a kite, being blown up and swaying from time to time, shaking off its wings. Accumulated snowflakes
“Awake? "
Alili warmly greeted Wei Ran and sat down by the campfire, picked up the coffee pot, poured him a cup and handed it to him, "How did you sleep last night?"
" Forget it, I didn’t sleep well all night.”
Wei Ran couldn’t help but yawn. Suisui ran back and forth to the bathroom three or four times last night, insisting to wake her up every time. Not to mention, at four or five o'clock in the morning, he also added fuel to the extinguished kerosene heating stove and gas lamp. It can be said that he never had a peaceful sleep that night.
Alili, who didn't know what was going on, smiled and said, "The wind outside looks like it won't stop for a while. Do you want to go back and sleep for a while?"
"No need." Wei Ran picked up the small enamel cup and took a sip of the hot coffee, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"There is nothing to do. In this damn weather, all we can do is wait. Stop during the snowstorm."
Ji Ma, who was busy with the demolition, stopped what he was doing, "Of course, if you want to have a drink to sober up, the time might go by faster."
"Forget it" Wei Ran quickly waved his hand, he didn't want to get drunk so early in the morning.
Ji Ma didn't care. He put down the crowbar and came over to sit on the blanket. "Victor, today I plan to search every room carefully."
Wei Ran He curled his lips and said, "Do you really think you can find other spy equipment?"
"I have nothing to do anyway." Ji Ma picked up the cold coffee and drank it all. He said expectantly, "Maybe we can find some treasures hidden by the soldiers at that time?"
"Forget it, you can dig it out yourself." Wei Ran shook his head and refused without thinking, " I might as well practice the piano if I have that time."
"Don't look at me," Alili said before Jima could speak, "I'd rather go back and take a nap."
Ji Ma showed his middle finger to Weiran and Alili each, "When the time comes, I will find something good that you will envy."
Alili waved his hands indifferently, "Then we will be envious. Also, when you go to pick up junk, remember to bring back some wood."
