"Uncle Akeem, how long does it take to get from here to your friend's house?" Wei Ran asked after nailing the cover on the last simple coffin.
"It's not too far just by flying," Akeem replied with a smile. "A round trip only takes an hour and a half at most, but we'll have to wait until we get to the airport, and then we'll get there from the airport." I'm afraid it will take another hour to get to his house."
"In this case, let's set off quickly." Alexei slapped himself on the neck as he spoke, "This ghost. There are so many mosquitoes here.”
"I won't go."
Wei Ran unexpectedly said, "Professor, let me stay. I will keep an eye on this place so as not to lose anything. Look around to see if you can find anything else."
"Victor, it's not safe here." Akeem frowned, "There are brown bears and wolves here, no matter what. Which one do you encounter?"
"I have a shotgun." Wei Ran pointed to the shotgun placed on another coffin not far away, "Don't worry, I will climb up the tree if I am really in danger. "
Professor Alexey hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Then please be safe and make sure the satellite phone can be connected at all times."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child. ”
Wei Ran said, already lifting one end of the simple coffin, “Come here and help, I will help you get these three to the dock.”
The two old guys looked at each other, and finally came together, and worked together to place the three simple coffins on their respective bathtubs, and dragged them towards the dock outside the forest.
After a lot of trouble, the three simple coffins were transported to the lake and put on the plane. Weiyan stood on the pier and said, "Professor, remember to call Mr. Alexander. Also, remember to call Mr. Alexander when you arrive." Give me a call. I won’t even know if Uncle Akeem is arrested for drunk driving in Norway.”
“You are worried that I will be in danger when flying a plane, so you don’t want to follow me,” Akeem. Blowing Beard asked with eyes wide open.
"How could that be possible?"
Wei Ran spread his hands with a playful smile, but the expression on his face looked like he had been guessed, "No matter what, Uncle Akeem, Remember to fly slower, after all you have been drinking.”
“You don’t need to remind me about this kind of thing”
Akeem untied the cables that fixed the plane and greeted Akeem. After boarding the plane, Alexey said, "Young man, please pay attention to your safety."
"It's definitely safer than you." As Wei Ran spoke, he had already taken off the shotgun originally on his shoulder.
Watching the plane gliding over the lake and taking off, it completely disappeared from sight after circling for a while. Wei Ran did not dare to waste time and took out the platoon boat that he had originally obtained from Baiyangdian from the metal book as quickly as possible.
"Finally I can use this boat." Wei Ran jumped on the boat and rowed towards the other side with the oars skillfully.
No more than a hundred meters from left to rightNaturally, it didn't take long to reach the distance. After the bow of the boat washed up on the lake shore, Wei Ran immediately jumped onto the rocks on the shore to put away the row boat. Then he took out the half-track motorcycle in the metal book and drove on the satellite With the help of the phone's navigation map, I rushed to the destination marked in the metal book.
Thanks to the powerful off-road capabilities of the half-track motorcycle, not much time was wasted in the next dozen kilometers, except that the thick bushes and the large mosquitoes that could be seen everywhere were a bit torturous. .
After climbing over two short mountains that were not too high, Weiran glanced at the straight-line distance of less than 200 meters on the navigation map, and then put away the half-track motorcycle. , carrying a shotgun and walking into the forest.
Soon after, he saw the two iconic large stones and the wooden house built on the two three-meter-high stones. In addition, this old-looking wooden house is surrounded by a rusty barbed wire fence, and even the roof is covered with a layer of colored steel tiles that are almost rusty.
Using barbed wire to protect long-uninhabited hunting huts seems to be a common practice among Finnish hunters, at least in the blizzard huts that have been made into movies, this was the same practice when we first went there.
However, compared to that small house, this place has obviously been abandoned for too long. Not only has the padlock on the barbed wire fence gate been completely rusted, but even the iron warning sign hanging on it has been blurred. , it can only be barely made out, with the words "Private Domain" vaguely written on it in Finnish.
Walking around the barbed wire fence and seeing no traces of human activity, Wei Ran thought for a moment, put on the German boots in the metal book, put his shoes aside, and then it was easy climbed over the barbed wire fence.
Wei Ran did not rush into the door, but opened the shed on the left side of the wooden house first.
To his surprise, although the wooden shed looked shabby on the outside, at least the two sheds were exceptionally neat inside. Not only were stone walls built on both sides, but you could even see the roof above your head. The I-beam beams were painted red, and even the ground was paved with flat stones, but most importantly, there was a half-track motorcycle covered with canvas parked here
Gently lifting the dusty canvas, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile. It can be seen that this car is well preserved. Not only is the chassis framed by logs, but there is still a lot of sludge remaining on the tracks on both sides. On the metal shelves against the wall, there were several oil drums that were also covered with dust, and a fuel-fired generator that was obviously produced after World War II.
"It seems that they have not abandoned this place"
While Wei Ran muttered to himself, he re-covered the canvas that served as a car cover, and then carefully cleaned up what he left behind After leaving the handprint, he exited the shed on the left.
Walking to the door of the wooden shed on the right side of the wooden house, Wei Ran opened the wooden door and found that there was no structural difference between this place and the wooden shed on the left. And the things accumulated here are also things like cement orFrom color steel tiles to construction materials such as welding rods and nails, one of the relatively well-preserved welding rod packaging boxes can barely tell that the production date is 2013.
After stepping back and closing the door, Wei Ran finally stood at the door of the wooden house, took out the lockpicking tool that had been kept in the food box, and easily poked the keyhole covered with a layer of grease.
With a "squeak", as the wooden door opened, a familiar scene came into view. The only difference was that there was an extra electric light on the shed above the head, and the few furniture were covered with plastic. Just covered with cloth.
In addition, there are more than a dozen photo frames hanging on the wall facing the fireplace. Without exception, these photo frames are all photos of Quentin and others, and the photo in each photo frame is also marked with the time when the photo was taken.
Looking at the time one by one, the first group photo was from 1945, and there was a kind-hearted Kantan in the photo. The four people in the photo have bath towels around their waists and wine glasses in their hands. Quentin is also holding an extended camera shutter cable in his hand.
When the group photo was taken in 1946, there was no longer Kantan in the photo, and the smiles on the faces of Quentin and the other three disappeared. Instead, there was a trace of sadness, and there was a photo of Kantan next to it. Single photo.
Going on, from 1947 to 1957, the three people in the photo were gradually surrounded by women, and then more children. In addition to the fireplace in this wooden house, the background of the photo They opened a fur shop, and their clothes occasionally turned into suits or traditional Finnish clothes with Lapland characteristics.
In the past ten years, Quentin and Gale in the photos have aged little by little, and Dorian has also become more mature. At the same time, there were more and more children surrounding them.
However, the group photo marked with the time came to an abrupt end. In 1958, these people never took a group photo again.
The only photo that appeared next was a group photo of Quentin and his family, and the time stamp on it was 1961.
In the next photo, the people on it are Gale and his wife, and the time stamp on it is 1988.
From the records in the metal book, we can know that the time on these two photos is exactly the time when Quentin's family encountered an avalanche, and when Gale and his wife fell ill and died one after another.
At this point, only the last wooden picture frame is left on the wall, but there is no photo at all in this picture frame.
"Could it be that Dorian is still alive?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows. At this moment, the satellite phone in his pocket rang.
He took out the phone and pressed the connect button. Before he could speak, he heard Professor Alexei on the other end of the phone shout in panic, "Victor, Victor, I don't have much time." Please remember to take good care of Aurora for me and tell her and your aunt that I love them."
Wei Ran's heart sank and he asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just want to tell you that the plane hasLanded safely. "
Professor Alexei changed his tone to a relaxed tone. At the same time, Wei Ran could vaguely hear Akeem's undisguised laughter on the other end of the phone.
" "These two old bastards." Wei Ran gritted his teeth and cursed in his mind. He was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense and simply hung up the phone.
Putting the satellite phone back into his pocket, Wei Ran didn't dare to delay, so hurry up. Time went around the upstairs and downstairs of this wooden house.
Unfortunately, except for half a bottle of potato wine with a production date of 2010, he didn’t find much value. Naturally, there is no way to verify the discovery. What happened between Quentin, Gale and Dorian in 1958 has always concerned him.
"Is it possible that he really wants to go to Lille, France? "Look at that address"
Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed the impulsive idea. Just like the advice he gave Alexei and Akeem before, in that shelter For the exhumed corpses, it is best to find the truth through official forces.
It is obviously not a rational thing to rush to the address recorded in the metal book to find out before the insider appears.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran could only suppress his thirst for knowledge, turned around and left the wooden house.
Relocked the wooden door and blocked it with the remaining sludge. At the keyhole, Wei Ran sat on the doorstep, waved his hand and took out the metal book, and then took out the only negative inside from the photo of the half-track motorcycle.
Hold it up and look at it. With the bright sunshine above our heads, the image of four people with big towels tied around their waists and drinking wine around a warm fireplace is clearly visible in the film.
"Sure enough, Quentin must be included in the photo?"< /p>
Wei Ran muttered to himself, and was about to put the film in his hand back into the paper bag next to the photo, but found that the metal book on his lap had automatically turned to a page. Then, under the red vortex on the back, an inverted blue vortex quietly appeared. Please remember:, free and fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft
