In the windy and snowy cabin, several old guys from the KGB sat around a warm bonfire, chattering and enjoying a large pot of braised rabbit meat. On the table not far away, there was also a pot of braised rabbit meat. Spicy rabbit head soaked in marinade in a vat.
"Victor, can't you eat those rabbit heads?" Culp asked, pinching a rabbit leg covered in soup.
"At least you have to wait 8 hours before boiling again before you can eat it."
Wei Ran picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Teacher Anna beside him, and explained absently that he was now But he didn't want to listen to these old guys deliberately chatting in English that he couldn't understand at all. He just wanted to find a quiet place as soon as possible and use a metal book to participate in the POW Olympics.
"It doesn't matter, the snow outside hasn't stopped yet, we have plenty of time." Teacher Dalia said nonchalantly.
"How long do you plan to stay in this little shabby house?" Wei Ran asked helplessly. These old guys had been eating for almost two hours since the meal was prepared, but Judging from their posture, it was obvious that they had no plans to end it anytime soon.
"Don't worry, be more patient." Teacher Anna gently comforted, "When those rabbit heads are ready to eat, we can go back."
"You guys Are you worried that someone is following me?" Wei Ran suddenly guessed what these old guys were thinking.
"You have to be careful." Culp threw the cleaned rabbit legs into the iron bucket aside, which was regarded as admitting Wei Ran's guess.
"Will someone really come?" Wei Ran frowned.
"It's best if no one comes over." Although Gorman said this, the expectation in his tone was not concealed at all.
"I'm starting to get nervous." Wei Ran muttered to himself, but he had already put down the cup in his hand. After all, he is not a fool, and alcohol has no BUFF on his combat effectiveness.
"It's just out of caution," Teacher Anna comforted her gently. While speaking, she picked up the wine glass and touched it to Dalia next to her, then poured it into her mouth as usual. .
Whether it was because he was scaring himself or not, in the next few hours, Wei Ran, who was still drunk and sleepy, did not dare to close his eyes at all. From time to time, he would get up and go to the bedside. Look at the heavy snow still falling outside.
On the other hand, those teachers, after eating and drinking, found a warm place to sleep on the floor, seemingly not worried about anyone touching them.
The ten hours seemed extremely long in Wei Ran’s nervous waiting and vigilance. Fortunately, until the sky outside the window was illuminated again by the sun that had no warmth and could not be seen at all, Until the heavy snow stopped, these old guys woke up one after another, and Gorman even took the initiative to put a tin bucket full of spicy rabbit heads in the fireplace where the bonfire was always burning.
When the spicy smell filled the small wooden house, Gorman immediately poked what looked like the largest rabbit with a fork.He took a tentative bite of the meat, then spit out the peppercorns in his mouth and asked, "Victor, how do you eat this thing?"
"Both its meat and bones can be eaten, but the bones It's best to chew it up."
Wei Ran took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands, picked up a rabbit head and opened the jaw, and demonstrated as usual. After all, he didn't do any tricks in that bucket of marinade, but even so, it is estimated that these old guys still can't escape the consequences of many dates with the toilet.
“Are you sure this thing is edible?” Culp picked up a brown rabbit head and blew off the peppercorns on it and asked suspiciously.
"Of course you can eat it. This is the most popular delicacy in China." Wei Ran explained seriously, and he also opened the rabbit head in his hand and ate the brain inside. In the mouth.
"Weird diet, it really tastes like being poisoned." Teacher Dalia frowned and commented.
"This kind of thing needs to be paired with cold beer." Wei Yan put down the half-eaten rabbit head and said while taking a breath, "It really doesn't taste right to eat this kind of thing without beer."
"Then take it back and eat it." Culp wisely chose to give up.
"Can I go back too?" Wei Ran asked with a sigh of relief.
"Of course"
Gorman responded while moving his numb mouth, "We will take you to the airport later."
"Don't forget the interview in Moscow on February 20," Teacher Dalia reminded, "You'd better arrive a day early."
"No problem, no problem" Wei Ran said, already Started to help clean up the wine bottles and various food packaging bags on the floor.
After simply cleaning up the hunter's cabin, Wei Ran followed Gorman into the van that was almost buried in the snow, and was the first to leave the hunter hiding in the coniferous forest. cabin.
It wasn't until their car disappeared that Culp asked, "Has no one been here?"
"No, not even a dog."
p>
While responding to Culp, an old man who looked to be in his fifties, wearing a white ghillie suit and carrying an SVD sniper rifle on his shoulder walked out from behind a pine tree not far away.
"Thank you for your hard work." As Culp spoke, he handed the packaged spicy rabbit head to the other party, "That little guy made it, and it tastes very good."
" Thank you." The old man took the plastic bag containing spicy rabbit heads, turned around and went back into the coniferous forest.
"Let's go back too"
Culp said, picking up the rope connected to the small sled and putting it on his shoulders, pulling the leftovers and the garbage they made, While chatting with Dalia and Teacher Anna, they walked towards the off-road vehicle parked a few hundred meters away.
At the same time, the van driven by Gorman also drove out of the coniferous forest with difficulty, crushing the thick snow and heading towards the city of Vladivostok..
"Thanks to your help this time," Gorman said abruptly.
"Nothing." Wei Ran shook his head and put away the cap badge he had been looking at just now.
"It's really nothing to you, but it's very important to me." Gorman paused here and continued, "Also, I would like to thank your girlfriend for her support of Makar. Help."
"It's just mutual benefit," Wei Ran said frankly. Suisui did help Makar, but she didn't suffer at all.
Gorman smiled and did not continue the topic. He drove the car to the city of Vladivostok in silence and sent Wei Ran to the door of a hotel that looked relatively clean.
"There will be a flight to China tomorrow. I have bought the ticket for you." Before Gorman left, he handed a ticket to Wei Ran, "Okay, I want it too. I'm flying back to Kazan. Happy Chinese New Year, Victor."
Listening to the out-of-tune Chinese blessing coming from the other party's mouth, Wei Ran smiled and replied, "Happy Chinese New Year, Ge. Mr. Mann."
Watching Gorman's car disappear at the end of the street, Wei Ran looked back at the hotel behind him. After a moment of hesitation, he turned on his mobile phone and searched, and then stopped. I took a taxi and randomly changed to a hotel.
After checking in, he got into the room. After he locked the door, he carefully checked the room, which was not big and the environment was definitely not good. Only when he was sure that there was no problem, he closed the curtains. , summoning a metal book.
On the way back from the United States, he had been looking up information about the sports meeting. If it hadn't been delayed by Gorman's affairs, and it was inconvenient for Suisui to be around at the time, he would have wanted to pay. Take action.
While he was waiting quite nervously, the metal book flipped to the blank page 17. The metal quill also drew a big hand, and the palm of this hand lay on it. Wearing the five-pointed star cap badge.
However, just when Wei Ran took a deep breath to prepare to remember his identity and return to his mission, and then faced the dazzling white light. The metal quill pen wrote four large characters with flying phoenixes under the pattern just drawn - military rank is too low.
"What the hell?"
Wei Ran let out a confused exclamation. At the same time, the metal quill also fell to the page with a clatter, and the picture he had just drawn The pattern and even the four big characters seemed to go back in time, dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a page of pale yellow blank paper!
"Is there a military rank requirement for this thing?"
Wei Ran turned the metal book to the first page in disbelief. Under his photo and name, the column for military rank was still second lieutenant.
What does this military rank mean? Wei Ran gently picked up the hat badge placed on the table and held it in his hand, muttering to himself in confusion.
He is now used to the existence of this unconventional metal book and the confusion it brings to him.He has all kinds of conveniences for himself, and is more accustomed to the sinister intentions of the metal book that always wants to kill him and the various tricks he pulls out from time to time. But even so, the scene that just happened still surprised him and made him more and more confused.
In other words, some historical events have requirements for military ranks. So this situation may also happen in the future? Wei Ran opened his palm again and secretly thought about the criteria for judging military rank requirements in this metal book.
The intensity of the war? Obviously not. Objectively speaking, whether it is the Battle of Stalingrad or the Battle of Berlin, any one of them is more bloody and cruel than most battlefields after World War II. So obviously, there should be no relationship between military rank and the intensity of the war. logical relationship.
But if it has nothing to do with intensity, in what aspect are there requirements for military rank? After thinking about it to no avail, Wei Ran could only take out the medical box from the metal book with a regretful look on his face, and put the cap badge in his hand at the bottom of the medical box. He read the letter that the little nurse left for him during the battlefield in Teng County. Put together.
Putting away the medical kit, Wei Ran lay down on the bed with a metal notebook and began to think about ways to advance to the military rank.
This point is slightly simpler than the question just now. The first time I got my military rank was during the defense battle of Teng County. After I came back from that time, I not only got my military rank, but also changed the notebook in my hand. A metal skin covered with rust.
Is it because you almost died on the battlefield that time? Wei Ran shook his head the moment he came up with this idea. Obviously not. Although this metal notebook has been making things difficult for him, there is a high probability that its purpose is not to kill him.
Suppressing this doubt that was destined to have no answer in the bottom of his heart, Wei Ran put away the metal book and wrapped it directly in the quilt. Since the military rank is too low now, let’s talk about it later. Besides, he is about to It’s the New Year, if you end up half-dead like last time in Teng County, will you still be able to survive this year?
