After the sauna, everyone did not rest after they came out. Instead, Gale pulled them to sit down again by the fireplace.
“Let’s continue having a drink.”
While speaking, Gale had already brought over all the wine bottles and glasses on the table, “As Quentin said just now, This is the last time we drink as French people, isn't it?"
"You just want to drink," said Cantan, holding the glass, "No need to make so many excuses."
Gail grinned and did not refute. He just poured a glass of wine for everyone, "Anyway, let's have a good drink today and then sleep comfortably. Tomorrow we will study Damn it’s Finnish.”
“It feels like a dream.” As Dorian spoke, he had already put the newly filled wine glass to his mouth and drank it down.
"Then let this dream last longer," Gale said, already refilling Dorian's wine.
Everyone continued the topic in the sauna, chatting for a long time by the warm fireplace, and drank two whole bottles of potato wine with a high alcohol content.
Wei Ran naturally would not let go of such a rare opportunity. He stood up and walked to a distance without leaving a trace. He took out the Rolleiflex camera from the metal book and pointed it at the crowd chatting and laughing at the fireplace under the kerosene lamp. The shutter was released.
With a soft "click" sound, a strong white light hit his face. Wei Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, and then patiently waited for any follow-up "plot".
When the white light that filled the field of vision faded, the scene in front of him had returned to the cabin floating on the water. At this point, he completely relaxed and turned his attention to the metal book in his hand.
While he was waiting, the metal quill pen wrote under the black and white photo as if no one was watching
"Struggle on the Edge of the Battlefield"
Prisoner of War Quentin, After the Battle of Lapland, the German troops withdrew from Finland. Quentin used Quentin to pretend to be the fur merchant Eero and occupied all his real estate in Inari.
After the end of World War II, he settled in Inari, Finland and continued to travel between Finland and the Soviet Union as a fur trader. In the winter of 1961, Quentin, his wife, son and his family of three died unfortunately due to an avalanche accident.
Prisoner of war Gael, after the Battle of Lapland, the German troops withdrew from Finland and assisted Quentin in business. In 1958, due to different business concepts, the two stopped cooperating, and later ran a French restaurant in Inari alone.
After the tragic death of Quentin's family in the winter of 1961, Gale and his family left Finland and returned to his hometown of Grenoble, France to settle down and continue to run restaurants. In 1988, Gale and his wife passed away due to illness, and the restaurant closed down the following year due to poor management by his son.
Quantin, a prisoner of war, returned to Paris after World War II to search for his wife and daughter to no avail. He committed suicide by drowning himself in the Seine on Christmas Day 1946.
Dorian, a prisoner of war, returned to his hometown of Lille to reunite with his parents after the end of World War II. The following winter, he was sponsored by Quentin and Gael.Next, he ran a fur business locally.
In 1958, due to differences in business philosophy, he stopped cooperating with Quentin and turned to solid wood furniture. He has two sons and two daughters. Since the end of World War II, he has never disclosed his experience in Finland.
Writing this, the metal quill started a new line, first giving an extremely precise coordinate, and then listed a detailed address in Lille, France.
"What exactly happened in 1958?" Wei Ran looked at the experiences of those people and fell into deep thought.
At the same time, the metal quill pen has started another line and continued to write, "Human nature is complicated. Those who do good also do evil, those who do evil also do good, and innocent people also have ugly sides."
Is this conclusion because of the fur traders who were killed or because of Quentin
In Wei Ran’s thoughts, the page full of words turned to the back, and the metal quill was slowly rotating Under the red vortex, it was written, "Actually, living in a shelter built by oneself is more secure than living in a shelter stolen from others."
With a silent sigh, Wei Ran reached into the red vortex and pulled out the shelter inside. Things were taken out.
Looking at the thick mittens in his hands, Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded. Kantan made these for himself before leaving the shelter. He even suggested that he put the glove on his right index finger at that time. The requests to come out alone were met.
As for the only difference, perhaps it is just that the workmanship of these mittens made of animal skin is much better.
Putting it back into the metal book, Weiran sat down on the seat in the cabin and thought to himself. The harvest this time could not be said to be good or bad. Although he only got a pair of gloves, he also learned French at the same time. It's ready to get up. After all, I have been in situations where I only got one pen, so I should be content.
Aside from the harvest, what concerned him most was what happened in 1958 and why both Gale and Dorian terminated their cooperation with Quentin.
After thinking about it, Wei Ran took out his satellite phone and entered the string of coordinates recorded in the metal book into the satellite map.
Just looking at the distance between the destination and himself, he was almost certain that the location recorded by the coordinates should be the stronghold of the fur traders occupied by Quentin.
At the same time, the distance between the two places was not too far, which gave him the urge to go there and take a look.
After thinking about it, Wei Ran took a long breath, stood up and walked out of the cabin. He squinted at the sparkling lake. After some comparison, he found the half-track motorcycle and the half-track motorcycle he had abandoned. The approximate location of the two towing buckets.
However, he was not in a hurry to go over and see if he could find the remains of the half-track. Instead, he closed the hatch, carried the shotgun on his back, and pulled the tub slowly toward the clearing in the forest.
Far away, he saw Akeem and Professor Alexei sitting on a log that had been sawed down not long ago, each holding a bottle of wine and talking about something. On the tree trunk that had been flattened by a chain saw, there were evenSome reindeer meat and an already opened can.
"Victor, you are finally back."
Professor Alexei pointed to the three corpses lying side by side in the distance, "Do yourself a favor and put them How about putting it in a coffin?"
"Why don't you do it yourself?" Wei Ran asked angrily.
"As you can see, we are eating."
Professor Alexei made excuses with a playful smile, "It's too troublesome to wash hands in this damn place, anyway. Your hands are dirty."
"Thank you so much"
Wei Ran didn't bother to be serious with this old bastard, so he picked up a light body and put it into the car. Putting himself in the nearest wooden coffin, he asked at the same time, "Professor, what are you going to do with these three corpses?"
"Tell me your opinion." Professor Alexei held a tomato. He asked vaguely while sucking the juice inside.
"It depends on Mr. Akeem's friend and Mr. Alexander's needs."
As he spoke, Wei Ran had already picked up the second body and waited until he put it away. After entering the second simple coffin, he continued, "If you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, it's easiest to just find a place with a nice view and bury it as if nothing happened."
“This is not possible”
Professor Alexey refused without thinking, “Mr. Alexander has bought everything found here and the stories behind it, how could he treat it as anything? It has never happened."
"And my friend definitely doesn't want to do this," Akeem said after taking a sip of wine. "My friend and I still hope to become famous through this. "
"In this case, let the authorities know."
Wei Ran put the third body into the coffin and nailed the simple coffin while saying, "Briefly describe the discovery process. I'll give you another interview and then tell me your speculations. For example, they may be prisoners of war from a country in southern Europe. I don't know if you can make a movie of what happened here, but I guess. There should be no problem in making you famous, and it will definitely be a good name."
"You mean you don't want to investigate the story behind this?" Alexey frowned and asked reluctantly. This is not possible. It's about his future.
"Why not investigate?"
Weiran asked, "It's just a different method, one that saves effort and makes you famous. Maybe someone knows what happened here. "What?"
"You don't have the motivation to investigate because you don't have a commission?" Alexei asked suspiciously.
"This is called profit maximization"
Wei Ran stopped what he was doing and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Alexander, he will definitely be willing to do it. Although it is a bit troublesome, But whether these corpses are exposed by the media or if the insider is found, it will be news that can be discussed for a long time, right?"
"IMy dear nephew, you have convinced me.
Professor Alexey said with a smile, "I will contact Alexander right away. Akeem, you can also ask your friend and see what he wants to do." "
"Before that, I think it's best to move these corpses to a place with a slightly lower temperature. "
Before the two men took out their satellite phones, Wei Ran gently tapped the stubbled coffin board with an axe, "The sun here is as strong as if it had eaten a big bowl of blue. They are like little pills. If they continue to be exposed to the sun like this, they will stink before long. "
"That makes sense."
Akeem immediately put away the satellite phone he had just taken out, "Let's do this, send them to my friend's house first. The cellar was large enough and there should be room for these three poor men. "
"Go back now." Professor Alexei looked at the wine bottle in his hand with a troubled expression.
"While I only drank half a bottle of wine, it's better to go back now." Just go for it.
As he spoke, Akeem poured another drink into his mouth, "Otherwise, if I drink too much and accidentally fly the plane across the border, I'll be in trouble." "
"You still know that you are drinking?" Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. Although Akeem has a Finnish wife, he is still a man with alcohol flowing in his veins.
"That's right."
Alexei also poured another glass of wine into his mouth, "In this case, let's set off now. But Akeem, after sending the three of them there, I think we need to come here and sleep in the tent for a few more days. "
"Until we drink all the wine we brought," Akeem said in agreement, "just like when we were at school in the name of summer duty"
"In the past Don’t mention the matter.”
Professor Alexey quickly stopped what the former had not finished. Obviously, he had some secrets that he didn’t want Wei Ran to know. Please keep in mind:, Free and fastest updates, no anti-theft, no Anti-theft
