Farewell to the sisters Olga and Olena, Wei Ran walked to the street with his suitcase, stopped a taxi and immediately rushed to the airport.
Nearly a week has passed since the half-month trip, but there are still two places he has not visited. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous at this time. He could even predict that once the time expired, Teacher Dalia would definitely have countless tricks waiting for him.
Hurrying slowly to the airport, Wei Ran was almost called by the announcement to board the plane to Sochi.
It wasn't until the flight took off that he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then began to think about the possible connections between the story behind the bayan that Olga wanted to investigate. There is no doubt that the first thing to doubt is undoubtedly the defense of Leningrad.
In the history courses he has studied, there are too many descriptions of this battle to defend the city that are more trembling than bloody.
The 872-day siege may be comparable only to the defense of Murmansk further north.
But compared to Murmansk, which had endless supplies of materials, what filled Leningrad at that time was hunger and bombing in every corner.
In all descriptions of that war, "famine", "the longest siege", "the most destructive", "the largest number of deaths" and even "genocide" inevitably appear "Words like this.
At the same time, accompanied by these bloodshed and cruelties, there is naturally the path of life on the ice that cannot be ignored.
Do you have the courage to enter that battlefield?
Wei Ran looked at the peaceful earth outside the porthole and asked himself, but after a long time he gave a negative answer. He did not have the courage, because hunger was far away. More cruel and difficult than war.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Konon, who he had become friends with in that hut in the snowstorm in Finland. He clearly remembered that the reporter who was blind in one eye was Leninger. Survivors of the Battle of Leborg.
Maybe I can meet Konon there. Will he recognize me? Probably not. After all, it was after the Battle of Leningrad. How could he remember it?
Wei Ran sighed secretly. The only thing he was glad about was that at least he still had a choice and could refuse to enter certain battles that made him fearful.
In his thoughts, Weiran’s flight landed smoothly at Sochi Airport. Following the address that Dalia had recorded on her schedule, Wei Ran got into a taxi and arrived at a resort next to the Black Sea coastline in a dusty journey.
There is no need to look up the history of this resort. Just looking at the heavy Stalinist architecture, you will know that this resort most likely served as a sanatorium for executives during the Soviet era.
"The doorman should be an old guy like Ivan again"
Wei Ran looked at the contact information on the schedule and muttered to himself., and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it. The waiting tone in the receiver only rang three times before the call was answered, but no one spoke.
Clearing his throat, Wei Ran said, "I'm looking for the doorman."
"Who asked you to make this call?" asked the person on the other end of the phone. Man, the hoarse and thick bubbly sound made Wei Ran have the urge to arrange a tracheal intubation for him immediately.
"Dalia"
"Dalia Kazan's Dalia"
"Yes" Wei Ran replied with a frown.
"So you are Victor." The man on the other end of the phone paused and continued, "The young man standing at the entrance of the resort like a fool."
"I am "Victor," Wei Ran replied patiently, pretending that he didn't hear the other person's last joke.
"Wait for me for a few minutes"
Before Weiran could respond, a busy tone came from the receiver. Soon, a Mercedes-Benz SUV drove out of the resort and finally stopped beside him.
Contrary to Wei Ran's expectation, the person in the car was a bald man who looked to be 40 years old at most. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Ran immediately identified him with the person on the phone just now. Number.
"Get in the car" the man said while pointing to the co-pilot.
Hearing this, Wei Ran silently opened the door of the rear cab, threw the suitcase in, and then got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.
"Seat belt," the middle-aged man continued to remind in an unpleasant bubble voice.
After Wei Ran fastened his seat belt, the man stepped on the accelerator and drove the car smoothly onto the main road.
"Stepan"
The middle-aged man driving the car took advantage of waiting for the red light to seriously extend his hand to Wei Ran, "Stepan Khlozov, I'm glad you came to Sochi."
"Victor"
Wei Ran shook hands with the other party somewhat uncomfortably. This bald man was not a strong man. , but in addition to the impressive and unpleasant bubble sound, his eyes were also extremely sharp, so much so that he couldn't help but think of the concentration of the big white cat on Ivan's boat when he was catching waterfowl.
"Do you know why Dalia asked you to come here?" Stepan let go of Wei Ran's hand and asked while slowly stepping on the accelerator.
"I just said let me come to see you, and only with your consent can I go see the next person. Other than that, I didn't say much else."
p>"Yeah" Stepan responded with his mouth closed, but fell into silence again. It wasn't until the coastline behind him was completely blocked by various buildings and dense broad-leaved forests began to appear on both sides of the road that he asked again, "Have you been to Sochi before?"
" Came here once."
Wei Ran responded in a calm tone, "Three or four years ago, in order to leadAs a tourist, I took tourists here to play. "
"Skiing"
"Hot springs, winter theater" Wei Ran replied with a smile, "Of course, there is also Comrade Stalin's green villa. "
"Comrade Stalin, haha, is a good word." Stepan smiled nervously, "Now many people call him sir. "
"Probably because the people who call him sir are not too worried that he will come back to life." Wei Ran made a small enough but scary enough joke.
" Fortunately, medicine is not developed enough now." Stepan, who seemed to be easy to talk to, agreed, and then asked, "What do you think of this city?"
"Tell the truth"
"Of course" Stepan nodded matter-of-factly
"It's nothing special to me"
Weiran lowered the window slightly, "For the Russians. Said, this should be considered the first choice for vacation, right? The warm sunshine, golden beaches, various tropical fruits and the bikini girls I haven't seen yet. "
"Picky Chinese people"
Stepan smiled and said, "There is really nothing special here, except that it is warmer and the girls are not stingy about showing off. Snow-white thighs and part of their soft breasts. "
Before Weiran could say anything, Stepan changed the subject and continued, "But if you need to smuggle something into Russia, or quietly transport something out, you can always do it. Come to me here, and for the sake of Hongqi Forest Farm, you can get the 100 kilogram limit every year. It doesn't matter if it's gold or poison, or even a living person.
Of course, you know what not to touch, so don’t think of trying something too dangerous, otherwise you will sink into the Black Sea along with whatever you want to smuggle. "
"What is this?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.
"It is nothing"
Stepan said indifferently, "Da I will do whatever Liya says. This has been the case all these years. Since she asked you to come here to find me, if she doesn’t want me to kill you, she must be satisfied with you, so I don’t mind giving you some small gifts. That's all. "
"Can I know more?" Weiran asked tentatively.
"Let me think about it"
Stepan He drove the off-road vehicle silently through two intersections, and then continued, "If you need trouble in the future, as long as you can escape here, I can send you to a safe enough place to hide.
On the contrary, if you need some help to solve some troubles, as long as it is not a certain death situation, I can support you with at least a dozen people, no problem. Of course, if there are casualties, you will have to pay some pensions. OK.
Finally, if it is not the case mentioned above, the less we see each other and the less contact we have, the better. That's it, there seems to be nothing else I can tell you. ”
"Do I need an exchange of equal value?" Wei Ran asked directly. The other party told him so many things so simply that he had to express his feelings. Even if he said what the other party said, he would most likely not need it.
“Can you send me the photo you found of the flag being planted at the Capitol?”
Stepan asked with a hint of expectation, “I’m going to Moscow. I’ve seen it at the Patriotic War Museum, and although the shot wasn’t as good as the angle it was posed for, it was still very shocking.”
“Of course there’s no problem with this kind of thing”
Wei Ran was happy. He agreed, "I even brought the original negatives. If you can find the processing equipment, I can help you develop a few more pictures on site."
"That would be best, wait until I finish it with you Let's take care of the business." As Stepan spoke, he also speeded up the car slightly.
"Stepan, where are we going?" Weiran finally asked the question he wanted to ask before getting in the car.
"I'm taking you to meet some friends, and I want you to perform for us." Stepan's tone became more and more expectant.
"Performance" Wei Ran was stunned, "What are you performing?"
"Joint dislocation and reduction"
Stepan said bluntly, "I From what Sister Anna said, it is said that the fighting skills are completely different from ours, and they are not even the Chinese fighting skills we are familiar with."
"Wait a minute" Wei Ran turned to look at the other party, "You still have it. , what do you mean by the Chinese fighting skills we are familiar with?"
"Don't get me wrong, our two countries, of course, what I'm talking about here are the Soviet Union and China, not Russia and China, although the relationship between Russia and China is currently It's pretty good.
In short, the Soviet Union and China had a long partnership, didn't they? Although they broke up and quarreled later, some technical exchanges left over from the partnership period will always be retained. The next part. That's what I'm talking about, the Chinese fighting skills we are familiar with."
"Your description is very strange"
Wei Ran shook his head and took a deep breath. Said, "So let me guess, what am I going to use this time to act as a drug dealer, a human trafficker, or a smuggler? I can't be a poacher, right?"
"It seems that you are studying at the Hongqi Forest Farm. Life is rich,” Stepan quipped with a smile.
"It's too rich," Wei Ran responded dumbfounded. He really didn't know whether he should be wary of this middle-aged uncle who seemed a little too familiar.
"This time I arranged for a woman for you, a beautiful woman." Stepan said with a hint of malice.
"Woman" Wei Ran frowned subconsciously.
"Yes"
Stepan nodded simply, "A woman who relies on luring and forcing young girls to film pornographic movies or even surrogacy to make profits."
"What do you think Sochi Superman, Sochi Spider-Man, or Sochi Captain"
"Whatever, but the nickname Captain Sochi sounds pretty good. I can think about whether to get a ridiculous shield to carry on my back next time I see you. Maybe I still need a blue tights. "
In response to Wei Ran's joke with a joke, Stepan continued to explain in a nonchalant tone, "I can't get an innocent person to use as a prop for your performance, although I don't mind that much. , but Sister Anna reminded me that you are a scholar who loves to be clean.
So in order to watch your performance, we spent a lot of effort to find the woman we just mentioned. "
Wei Ran asked, dumbfounded, "So to put it simply, I am here just to perform for you"
"I have just paid the performance fee"
p>
Stepan lighted a cigarette and then finally told the truth, "It's just that we don't want to embarrass you, otherwise you would have been tied up and thrown into the basement to starve. "
"Look at how awesome you are all" Wei Ran muttered to himself, but his face showed just the right amount of gratitude.
