We declined the invitation to go back to Hongqi Forest Farm with Culp to rest. Worried about the early start of classes, Weiran excused himself to look for a house the next day, so he found a hotel near Kazan University and stayed.
It wasn’t until he watched Culp’s car disappear around the corner of the street that Wei Ran, who had been worried about whether the other party would do something wrong ever since he got off the plane, breathed a sigh of relief. The suitcase walked into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
While he was sleeping soundly, Culp, who was driving to the Hongqi Forest Farm, had been thinking about Wei Ran asking him to help him buy a house in Kazan, trying to analyze Is there any other secret hidden behind Wei Ran's decision?
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Wei Ran, who had had enough rest, rented a car and then wandered aimlessly in Kazan City, preparing to determine where to settle down. scope.
This is also a rare opportunity for him to wander around the city so comfortably after studying and living in Hongqi Forest Farm for so long.
If we follow Suisui’s guide to introduce this ancient city, Kazan’s most famous title is that it is the third capital of Russia after Moscow and Petersburg, and A series of adjectives such as a long history that can rival the first two.
Of course, it would be much simpler and more unpretentious to introduce this city according to Jima's way - this is a beautiful city rich in beauties.
And this has been proven time and time again just from the time when he and Ji Ma were "heroic and righteous" in this city and guest-starred as the "Scumbag Terminator". .
In addition to the beautiful women on the streets, the various historical buildings in every corner of the city are also particularly beautiful, including the Russian-style onion-roofed church and the yurt-style round building with the origins of the Golden Horde. It is dazzling to see the domes, lamasery temples with a bit of Asian flavor, a large number of Qingzhen temples that coexist with Orthodox Christianity, and even the typical Stalinist symmetrical buildings of the Soviet era.
Correspondingly, it is not easy for Weiran to find a "side dish" that suits his taste and is affordable for his wallet in this beautiful building complex that looks like a table full of delicacies.
To put it simply, if you can’t afford to buy or even rent what you like, you can afford to rent or buy it, but your retina expresses resistance or even disgust.
Through all this, Wei Ran was completely dazzled in the week before the start of school at Hongqi Forest Farm, so much so that in the end he was even ready to give up the idea of moving his studio here.
While he was suffering from difficulty in choosing, the interview previously conducted at the Patriotic War Museum in Moscow was also put on the screen in the last few days of February. , at the same time, the museum also rushed to exhibit the stories about the Rzhev battlefield and related relics before March.
This interview has both good and bad aspects for Wei Ran. The good side is that he is a historian.The content and credibility are getting higher and higher, but at the same time, those controversial interview clips about the Poles have been dug out again. At the same time, even a handful of new Nazis who appeared out of nowhere began to use his nationality and the previously found photo of the red flag of the Capitol Building to make excuses, and preached some dirty things in a roundabout way.
While the discussion about him on the Internet was intensifying, Monica, who was far away on the farm outside Turin, Italy, also unexpectedly saw the news about Weixia in the pop-up news that recently popped up. news and recognized him.
Not only that, even her good friend and bestie Katianka has recently begun to complain to her, complaining that she was attacked on the Internet just for saying something fair to a poor historian. There were countless abuses.
After seeing the vicious private messages and abusive screenshots sent by Katenka who choked several times on the phone, Monica, who was submissive in real life, took a deep breath, like a warrior. Generally, a text document is opened that records an unknown number of social accounts and corresponding passwords.
"Here we go"
In a single-family house next to Gubijing Pasta Restaurant, Katenka opened a software while talking, "Our good friend Moni The card has started, now let's see her true fighting power!"
"Shall we use our friends like this?" In the dark room with the curtains drawn, a girl was busy under the range hood. asked.
"Friends?"
Katenko glanced at the gateway address that kept changing as Monica switched accounts on the software she just opened, and asked in a calm tone. , "Where did our friends come from?"
"But the boss..."
"If the boss treats Monica as a friend, or Monica treats the boss as a friend , then isn’t it appropriate for Monica to say a few words to the boss?”
“You misunderstood, I’m not talking about Monica”
The range hood The girl who was busy next mixed the solutions in the two test tubes into a beaker fixed between the ice cubes. After waiting for the reaction inside to be completed, she came up with the excuse she had just thought of urgently, "I mean our boss, he He must be considered our friend. Let’s use him to test Monica’s...combat ability? No matter what the name is, do you think this is okay?”
“What’s wrong with that? "How could he find out? I didn't do anything at all, right?" Katenka said matter-of-factly, "Besides, this is not a bad thing for him, you will never forget..."
“I haven’t forgotten, I’ll say it again, I haven’t forgotten.”
The girl under the range hood said while cleaning the used test tubes, “But the so-called giving the new boss an advantage in public opinion, Shouldn't you be speaking for him? Why are you provoking a conflict in public opinion?"
"This kind of thing is much more complicated to explain than the cockroach poison you want to prepare."
Ka Jian Ka saidAs he spoke, he hit the Enter key hard and then continued, "Simply put, controversy can attract attention. Only when attention is attracted, more people will know about our new boss."
"But what about those who have brain problems?" The girl under the range hood asked while dripping sweetener and cockroach attractant into the solution just prepared.
“Don’t we have Monica?”
Katenko pointed to the comments that kept jumping on the screen, “Our good friend Monica is like a filter Just the same, she will help us deal with the garbage, which is much more convenient than doing it ourselves."
"I always feel that after the boss knows..."
"Don't worry. He won't know." Katenka glanced at the animal tooth necklace placed on the corner of the table and said firmly, "How could he know these things?"
"Anyway, don't cause any trouble for us. Just fine."
As the girl under the range hood spoke, she poured all the prepared liquid into a plastic spray bottle and pointed it at the food residue accumulated on the dining table, the gaps in the sofa, and every room. All the gaps in doors and windows were carefully sprayed.
While the two of them were working together to exterminate cockroaches, Culp also found Wei Ran two days before the start of classes at the Hongqi Forest Farm.
"Have you been looking for a house these days?" Culp asked with interest, "The interview about you has caused countless controversies, but you are not in a hurry at all?"< /p>
"Is it any use if I'm anxious?"
Wei Ran rolled his eyes, "Let them scold them if they want to. After all, chrysanthemums are growing on their butts. Besides, Why don't you ask who deliberately set up the controversial interview question?"
"I don't know that. I was never responsible for your interview."
< p>Culp decisively shirked the responsibility, and then asked, "Since you are not in a hurry, how about I take you to see a house? Maybe you will be interested."" Where?" Wei Ran, who was studying the house rental information on the laptop screen, raised his head and asked.
"The scenery on the southeast side of Lake Kaban is very good." Culp explained like a conscientious real estate salesman, "and you don't have to pay rent."
"Also Such a good thing?" After a brief moment of surprise, Wei Ran immediately shook his head and refused, "Forget it, I won't go."
"Why?" Culp looked at the rent information in confusion. Wei Ran asked.
"From what I know about you, even if there is a house that does not require rent, you will charge some extra as hard work."
Wei Rantou does not agree either. He said proudly, "But since I can let you say that you don't have to pay rent, then the price I have to pay must be more than the rent."
"Victor, it seems that you have learned wisely. "Culp smiled, "But this time it's different. It's Teacher Dalia, and she is going to lend you her home.use. ”
“Teacher Dalia’s home? "Wei Ran raised his head and looked at Culp in confusion.
"What the hell is that expression on your face? "Culp asked angrily.
"No, it's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. Wei Ran quickly closed the laptop screen as he spoke, "Teacher Dalia is from Kazan?" This is the first time I know. "
"She is not from Kazan." Culp sighed but did not explain. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the hotel. "If you want to take a look, just follow her." ”
There is nothing to hesitate about. Just for the reason of Teacher Dalia’s house, he has to go over and have a good look. As for whether he wants to use the other person’s house, he will naturally be satisfied first. Let's think about it after getting out of curiosity.
Getting into the car driven by Culp, before Wei Ran could get any valuable information out of the other person's mouth, Culp had already parked the car. On the roadside on the southeast coast of Kaban Lake
This so-called Kaban Lake is actually three connected lakes extending from northwest to southeast in Kazan City. If you are not a local, you may just. He thought they were just a relatively wide river. Wei Ran remembered clearly that just a year before he came to Russia to study, Mao Zi had used this lake system as a prototype to shoot a crappy movie with only fifty-cent special effects at best. .
The location where Culp parked his car was on the southeast coast of the first Kaban Lake in the northwest. However, the lake view was different from what Wei Ran had imagined. , but behind a road, what can be seen is a large wasteland surrounded by colored steel tiles.
Looking up, there are scattered lush greenery behind the colored steel tiles. There are birch trees and oak trees, and not far from this area, separated by a wall, there is an old building complex that looks very old.
“It’s a very old building there. "The old winery"
Culp pointed to the old buildings not far away and explained, "It already existed at the end of the 18th century. Until the Soviet era, the water of Lake Kaban was still used to make wine, but now it can barely be regarded as a tourist attraction. ”
“Could the house you are talking about be...”
Wei Ran looked blankly at the winery building complex in the distance. You know it can be called a building complex. How big is the area it covers? And if such a large area and the buildings that can be used as cultural relics can be used for free, it doesn't seem to matter even if you agree to some conditions from Culp or Teacher Dalia.
“Did you steal Mr. Gerbacho’s dog food? ”
Seeing Wei Ran staring eagerly at the winery not far away, Culp reluctantly took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened a small door on the colored steel tile wall. The rusty iron lock said, "Come in and take a look, this is the place for you to use for free. ”
Wei Ran, who realized that he was having a sweet dream, shook his head in disappointment, and reluctantly followed Culp into the simple iron door. Compared with the cold outside the iron door,Acid, although this piece of wasteland surrounded by colored steel tiles seems to occupy a large area, the actual situation is not much better.
Not to mention the nearly waist-high grass, the wild birch trees growing wantonly, and the fallen leaves piled under the two old-looking oak trees, just the view facing the direction of Lake Kaban. The roof of the three-story stone building collapsed visibly to the naked eye.
In addition, a flower wall with iron fences was built around the building. Those colored steel tile walls were tied to this wall with iron wires. And on the rusty gate of the wall, there is a tattered signboard of "Kaban Lake Candy Company".
While Wei Ran was observing the environment inside through the flower wall, Culp also gave up the futile effort of using the key to unlock the gate of the fence, and bent down directly to pick up a broken brick that had fallen from the flower wall and hit it hard. It was smashed up.
With a loud "clang", the broken brick in Culp's hand was shattered into rubbish, but the iron lock that was as big as a fist, covered with rust and with a half-cut key was. Unscathed.
"Wait for me," Culp said. Without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, he lowered his head and drilled out the small door on the colored steel tile wall. Soon after, he took a pair of hydraulic pliers and left. return.
Seeing the other party's "I've actually been prepared" look, Wei Ran had to swallow the words that were on his lips again, preparing to see what Culp would do with such a pile of rubble later. What scary conditions come up.
It took a lot of effort to open the iron gate. Culp held the hydraulic clamp in one hand and took out a PSS silent pistol from the holster under his arm with the other hand.
"Don't be nervous," Culp said with a smile, "No one has been here for a long time, maybe there will be some small animals or drug addicts hiding here."
" This is enough to make people nervous, okay?" Wei Ran muttered angrily, and asked curiously while increasing his vigilance, "Is this really Teacher Dalia's home?"
" To be precise, it should be Dalia's husband's home," Culp explained as if squeezing out toothpaste.
"Teacher Dalia is married?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, remember Leva, the old veteran who opened a camera shop in Kirov?"
Culp gently pushed the wooden door covered with mold on the first floor of the building. However, before he could push the door open, the wooden door clanged into the hall on the first floor of the building.
"Remember" Wei Ran fanned the dust in front of his eyes, squinted his eyes and held his breath.
Compared with the large yard outside, which is 50 to 60 meters square, this building only covers an area of about 500 square meters at most, and the inside of this door is basically a large warehouse that has been emptied. On the cracked concrete floor, except for some iron candy boxes in wooden boxes and a large number of faded wrapping paper waiting to be used, there are no personal belongings at all. Even on the walls, there are many inexplicable things.What a wonderful doodle.
"Her husband was Leva's partner at the time and the heir to the candy company. Unfortunately, he did not come back alive from Grozny. By that time, Darya had even..."< /p>
Culp stopped abruptly in the middle of his explanation, and instead stepped into the interior of the building. He used the hydraulic pliers in his hands to tap on the concrete walls and inspected them, while at the same time he was talking hard about sales. , "It's not bad. The quality of this building is very good. As long as we simply repair the roof and redecorate it, we can hold your funeral here."
"You can't say "Something auspicious?"
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, while thinking about how to politely refuse. He wanted to move the studio to Kazan, but he didn't necessarily want to move there. And even if we have to move, there is really no need to choose such a poor place.
"Then say something auspicious"
Culp rounded his arms and smashed the hydraulic clamp in his hand onto the stairs leading to the second floor in the distance. He saw that the stairs did not collapse. , then walked up the stairs and continued, "Dalia asked me to tell you that if you are willing to move your studio here and repair this dilapidated house as much as possible, by the way, you can move the studio on the far left side of the third floor Xiangyang’s two rooms are reserved for her. After she dies, this house will be yours.”
“That’s not a good thing.” Wei Ran shook his head in confusion, “That’s it. Your Majesty Dalia wants to make me the crown prince?”
“Besides, she also asked me to tell you”
Culp, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, stopped. She said with a smile, "Teacher Dalia said that if you plan to refuse, be prepared to double the content of all courses in March."
"Why?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.
"Of course because she is your teacher and has the right to decide your classes..."
"No, no, no," Wei Ran added without waiting for the other party to finish. , "I mean, why do you have to give this place to me?"
"No matter how good the house is, it will collapse if no one lives in it for too long."
Culp turned around He continued walking to the second floor and explained, "Dalia has never been here, but at the same time she is worried that this dilapidated house will completely collapse into ruins.
Then you jump out on your own initiative. , you want to rent a house and live a two-person world without parental restraints with your little girlfriend. So Victor, do you think there is any other better candidate besides you?"
