On the fifth day after returning to Volgograd, Wei Ran and others, together with sisters Olga and Olena who had just arrived the morning before yesterday, sent Sui Xin, Chen Luoxiang and their respective parents to the airport.
In the waiting hall, Lola hugged her sister Korava hard. Although she looked reluctant to leave, she handed her over to Sui Xin in a wheelchair with great relief. This girl who was a little confused from time to time knew this clearly.
I know that for her sister, going to China to seek medical advice is the best result at present.
"I won't say anything else."
Suisui put her hand on Sui Xin's shoulder and said, "I'll give you a week's rest after you go back, and then remember to work as a supervisor in my and my colleagues' company. My classmates have prepared an office for you. Your five
You've paid all the insurance and gold, so you can't just give up."
Having said this, Suisui didn't wait for Sui Xin to say anything and then looked at Chen Luoxiang, "Sui Xin, I'll leave it to you. If you let me know that you dare to bully her, I will kill Guqin Youquan in front of you."
Smashed."
Although this threat was to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage himself by eighty thousand, just looking at Chen Luoxiang's grinning expression, he knew that it was very effective.
For no other reason, the guqin Youquan was still lent to Sui Xin, but the girl Suisui made her and Chen Luoxiang sign a very formal loan agreement that allowed the guqin to be taken back at any time.
"Will you ever come to a show with me again?"
Olga, who also came over to bid them farewell, asked reluctantly, and Olena next to her also asked, "Will you come to our exhibition hall to perform again in the future?"
"of course"
Sui Xin leaned forward and hugged Sister Olga, "In the future, if you have time, you can also go to China to play with me."
Amid everyone's greetings, Sui Xin and Chen Luoxiang walked into the boarding gate with Korava holding toys in his arms, the elders of the two families and a small amount of luggage.
Until their backs were completely blocked, Suisui casually wiped the corners of her eyes and changed the subject and asked, "Olija, Olena, if you are not in a hurry to go back, how about I take you to spend a few days in Volgograd?"
"Of course I'm not in a hurry to go back." Olena accepted the invitation for her and her sister without even thinking.
After calling friends and getting into a large Iveco van arranged by her mother, Suisui took the girls straight to the shopping mall pedestrian street in the city, but she had no intention of calling Wei Ran.
"Where are you going next?" Aunt Zhou Shujin asked Wei Ran.
“Go to a travel agency”
Wei Ran followed the other party towards her car and said, "Let's go see Mr. Nicholas again."
"I guess you may not be able to meet him today," Zhou Shujin said prophetically.
“Let’s try it”
Wei Ran responded indifferently. Speaking of which, it was already the fifth day since he returned to Volgograd, but he had gone to the bookstore to visit Mr. Nikolai several times but failed to meet him.
According to the employee at the travel agency next door, the old man seemed to have driven to hunt wild ducks near the Don River before the hunting season ended. More importantly, although the old guy had a mobile phone, it was not turned on at all.
However, both my aunt Zhou Shujin and the employees of the travel agency next door have long been accustomed to this situation.
Speaking of which, since Culp and others gave the old man a "picked-up" GAZ22 station wagon last year, he hasn't even ridden the Harley motorcycle very much, and he doesn't care about the weather at all, just riding alone every now and then.
When people take their pet fox to go fishing, hunting and camping near the Don River, it takes at least three to five days before they come back.
When Wei Ran heard about this old guy's living conditions, he had already vaguely guessed where he had gone.
Sure enough, when he took his aunt's car back to the travel agency, the bookstore next door was still closed as when he came before, and the shutter door still had a sign saying it was temporarily closed.
"Auntie, can you lend me the travel agency's van?" Wei Ran asked his mother-in-law who had already walked to the door of the travel agency.
"Yong" the aunt waved her hand carelessly, but she had already walked into the travel agency.
Being familiar with the road, he asked the girl named Sasha at the front desk to borrow the car keys. Wei Ran, who was still a travel agency employee in name, greeted everyone, and then drove the borrowed van slowly to Dun.
The direction of the river.
He was almost certain that Mr. Nikolai must have gone to the location of the former Don Position 19.
Sure enough, when he drove the car out of the city and drove southwest along the field road for more than an hour, he saw a tent in the distance next to a birch forest by the Don River.
The chimney that stuck out was still emitting wisps of green smoke.
He stepped on the brakes and backed up another hundred or ten meters. Wei Ran parked the car behind a piece of withered yellow reeds. After looking around, he took out his latest extra large telescope and placed it on the edge of the reed marsh.
The tent was vaguely visible in the distance.
Through this large telescope, he could clearly see that there was a milky white GAZ22 station wagon parked on the side of the tent.
On the other side of the tent, sat Mr. Nicholas, wearing a World War II Soviet army quilted cotton coat and a cotton hat, and the big-eared fox hiding in his arms.
There was a bonfire burning in front of the old man, and the kettles hanging on the bonfire were already emitting strong steam, but he didn't seem to see anything and didn't react at all. Instead, he raised his binoculars from time to time.
, taking a look at the direction in which the Germans launched their attack, they seemed to be looking for something.
Wei Ran did not choose to disturb the poor old man, but silently put away the telescope in front of him and got into the car, turned around and drove to Chacha Lake, which was not far away.
Today happens to be Tuesday, which happens to be a good day for "gathering people to sell stolen goods" at the farm market by Chacha Lake.
Since getting the metal book, Wei Ran has never been here again. This time he happened to be on the way, so he inevitably wanted to come and take a look.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He drove the car into the abandoned farm and used two old newspapers to cover the front and rear license plates. He then put on a mask and a fisherman's hat, and put on his hands.
Kabuto walked towards the center of the market.
Although I haven’t been here for nearly four years, the market is still the same as before. The things sold have not changed, and even the stall owners who buy things have not changed. The only change is probably that
It's just that the woman selling unique products has a strange face.
Strolling along the way, when he stopped again, he was standing next to the remote stall where the professor had bought him a graduation gift.
We haven't seen each other for several years, and the stall owner is still the same as before, but what Wei Ran didn't expect was that this time there was a row of big weapons on his stall.
It was indeed a row of big guns, but on the stall that was more than three meters wide, there were five Degtyarev anti-tank rifles on the left and seven Simonov anti-tank rifles on the right. Between these two anti-tank rifles,
In the space less than one meter wide between the brothers' guns, there is also a Deshka heavy machine gun that is in surprisingly good condition and even shiny with oil!
But compared to these things, what really concerned Wei Ran was the half of a Degtyaryov anti-tank rifle placed casually under the machine gun.
The butt and grip of this anti-tank gun are gone, and even the bolt is unknown. All that is left is a slender barrel and the handle, bipod and tail attached to it.
A bullet chamber filled with dirt.
But it was such an incomplete anti-tank gun, but its barrel had 12 five-pointed stars the size of a fingernail painted with red paint!
"How much does this barrel cost?" Wei Ran squatted down and asked the shopkeeper.
"Each star is 200,000 rubles, and the barrel itself is free." The shopkeeper replied, "So the total price is 2.4 million rubles without negotiation."
"Where was it discovered?" Wei Ran continued to ask.
"As long as you buy it, I will tell you the detailed excavation address, and there will be unedited excavation video."
After the stall owner finished speaking, he slowly lit a cigarette. Obviously, he did not recognize Wei Ran, and he did not think that the young man was willing to spend money to buy the barrel.
When Wei Ran heard this, he stood up decisively and stopped asking further questions. Of course he could afford the money to buy the gun barrel, but there were too many pitfalls in it, and it was meaningless to him.
To put it more bluntly, he came here simply because he wanted to find a reason to thank the stall owner, but the other party obviously treated him as a fool, so he just assumed that the other party declined his kindness.
After continuing to wander around the market and buying a few pies, Wei Ran returned to the parking lot, pulled off the newspaper on the license plate, and drove to Golonid Island, located in the middle of the Volga River.
Nowadays, my aunt and Professor Alexey have rented out their house in the city and moved to the small holiday farm that Professor Alexey bought. Since moving there, although the professor and his wife have gone to the farm every day It's a little troublesome to take the ferry after get off work, but the comfort of life is much better.
This can be seen just from the large yard that is almost filled with various crops and flowers, not to mention that even the two-story wooden house has been rebuilt in more than a year.
The upstairs and downstairs are much more spacious, making living a lot more convenient.
Not only that, in the rebuilt garage, there is also the black GAZ24-24KGB version car that has also been renovated.
This was entirely the fault of Professor Alexei. Unfortunately, the old man was very attached to the car. Not only did he not leave the car key, he even removed the steering wheel and hid it somewhere in the corner.
Went into the greenhouse that was not too big but had a very high yield and picked a few bunches of small tomatoes. While eating, Wei Ran walked into the door and sat down on the sofa to enjoy the bright sunshine coming in from the outside.
Just when he was groggy and about to fall asleep, a timely phone call from Professor Alexey successfully drove away his sleepiness, and he excitedly showed off his gains over the past week with his loud voice.
"In short, a total of seven bodies of Brandenburg soldiers were found this time."
Professor Alexey finally concluded, "By comparing the official German files, I have confirmed the identities of these corpses, and confirmed that they disappeared while performing an observation mission behind enemy lines. There were 12 people in this missing team."
All members, without exception, are missing.”
"Where is the child's body?" Wei Ran asked.
"His identity was confirmed through that diary."
Alexey became more and more excited, "That brave young man killed a Brandenburg soldier, his name was Yuri. My good son-in-law, you remember that I said that I found a copy of 1917
Amnesty list for the year?”
"Remember"
Wei Ran squinted his eyes and looked at the sunshine outside the window and replied, "I also found the cemetery of the person on the amnesty list."
"That's right!"
Professor Alexei said excitedly, "Through DNA comparison, the child's body Yuri is the son of Igor Augustevich Petrov who was on the pardon list."
At this point, the old guy's voice became louder, "And based on those photos, I made another amazing discovery."
"What discovery?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"The owner of the diary is a girl named Legica. She and her father, Yuri's father, sniped and killed those German elites. Moreover, the girl named Legica retaliated with her mother's
Name joined the local guerrillas."
"Is she still alive?" Wei Ran asked, closing his eyes.
"She was killed in action, not long after joining the guerrillas."
Alexei sighed, "With the help of Murmansk officials, I determined her identity and her gravesite through photo searches, and also determined her father's false identity. You can't imagine that she and his
Not only did both fathers join the guerrillas and were killed in action, but they both received the Patriotic War Partizan Medal 2nd Class!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes, who could have imagined...
Wei Ran took a deep breath and asked with an increasingly bright smile, "Then what? What are you busy with now?"
“I was informally promised research funding on related topics.”
Professor Alexei said with a smile, "In addition, at my suggestion, the officials are planning to wait for the permafrost to thaw and move the girl named Ryjika from Pechenga to the mass grave where you found it.
There is also Yuri's body in that cemetery, and they will be reburied there and a monument will be built for their family."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Professor Alexey continued, "Also, Murmansk officials are planning to posthumously award the father and son the Partisan Medal of the First Class and the Patriotic War Medal of the First Class."
"Now?" Wei Ran came back to his senses and asked in surprise, the Soviet Union is no longer around, where can these two medals of honor still come from?
“On Victory Day”
Professor Alexey sighed and replied, "Although the Soviet Union is gone, there is no reason to forget the heroes, right?"
"They don't want to be heroes at all," Wei Ran muttered almost subconsciously.
"What did you just say?" Professor Alexei asked blankly.
"It's nothing" Wei Ran came back to his senses, "So you plan to come back?"
“Maybe we have to wait a little longer.”
Professor Alexei paused, then suddenly switched to Chinese and asked, "Good son-in-law, are there anyone else around you?"
"no one else"
Wei Ran smiled and replied, "I'm in the vacation cabin you bought for my aunt, and I'm just here looking for the hidden steering wheel."
“That’s good, that’s good”
Professor Alexei breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Good son-in-law, I would like to invite the film studio you and your teacher set up to make a movie about this family of heroes."
"Let Time Film Studio film it?" Wei Ran was stunned, "You and Alexander broke up?"
"not at all"
Professor Alexei grinned, "You still remember that Mr. Alexander planned to make a movie about Finland, right?"
"Remember, what happened?" Wei Ran asked pretending to be confused.
"When the film was about to be shot and only the final editing was left, an old French guy published a memoir, and someone anonymously sent the memoir to Mr. Alexander from France."
Professor Alexei grinned, "The memoir records the true story of what happened there at that time. Not only did Mr. Alexander lose a lot of money due to the cost of shooting the movie, but he also failed to get the money from the old French man.
Authorization and adaptation rights for feature film shooting.
The most important thing is that he was hurt, to be precise, by the despicable behavior of the shameless Jewish prisoners of war, and even for this reason, he fired more than a dozen Jews working under him under various names."
"so..."
"So he plans to never get involved in the film industry again. He is worried about ruining the reputation he has finally accumulated."
Professor Alexei said quite happily, "He is preparing to run for mayor of the satellite city as before, although the hope is also slim."
“This is a wise choice”
Wei Ran grinned silently. As for who originally sent the memoirs that had just been published on a small scale to Alexander, he would not admit that he instigated Anfeia, who had been keeping an eye on this matter, to do it.
.
Of course, he did this just because he didn't want to make his half-friend Mr. Alexander look bad. The only thing he didn't expect was that the other party failed to obtain the authorization for filming the film from the survivors.
After hanging up the phone with Professor Alexei after some mutual promises and guarantees, Weiran also successfully asked where the car keys and steering wheel were, and the other party got them. He immediately called Culp and asked.
Ask if you can guarantee cooperation.
Of course, as for when this old guy will come back, I'm afraid we can only wait until he and his old buddy have had enough wine before they remember.
Likewise, there was no rush to call Mr. Culp. He always wanted to see how far the professor's summary of history differed from the actual facts before making a decision.
With nothing to do, Wei Ran used the car key he found in the cellar to open the door and trunk of the old car, then installed the steering wheel in the trunk and drove the car as he wished. Even the license plate was installed.
The old car drove around on the country road, and by the way, I went to a distant town to buy two big geese.
Of course, he didn't know that right after hanging up the phone, Professor Alexei invited Pasha, his daughter Zoya, Zoya's husband Saveli, and even Saveli's parents to board the board.
Flights to Volgograd.
What he didn't even know was that at the Chacha Lakeside Farm Market, which was less than an hour earlier than this incident, someone would buy it all in one fell swoop shortly after he left with a high price that was definitely the highest transaction amount of the day.
He bought all the anti-tank guns and heavy machine guns on the stall owner’s stall, even the gun barrel with 12 five-pointed stars painted on it. By the way, the heroic buyer also got the accurate information from the stall owner’s mouth.
Detailed excavation site.
That evening, just as Weiran was stewing a large pot full of goose and dried beans and eggplants dried by his aunt in a large iron pot dug out from the garage, a van also drove to the door of the holiday cabin.
As the car door opened, Suisui, who was carrying various shopping bags in her hands, got out of the car like dumplings with the girls who were also carrying various shopping bags.
"Goose stewed in an iron pot!" Suisui just sniffed and guessed what was steaming in the pot, and asked hurriedly, "Where's my mother? She's not back yet?"
"Nope"
Wei Ran spread his hands, "But she called and said she didn't have to wait for her for dinner. She wanted to entertain friends, so we can just eat first."
"Quick, quick, go wash your hands!"
Suisui immediately gave the order, and then changed to Chinese and said to Lu Xinda, "Xinda, go pick the garlic and call Lola together!"
"okay!"
Lu Xinda looked at the big iron pot in the yard and swallowed. She used the few Russian words she had learned to greet Lola, who was also carrying a lot of shopping bags, and ran into the room they shared. After changing clothes, she went straight to the room.
I went to the kitchen and started working as a garlic picker.
While Wei Ran was happily eating the goose with these girls, Zhou Shujin also picked up another Iveco loaf from the travel agency at the airport. She didn't smell of alcohol at all, was in a suit and tie, had a shave, and had a hand
There was also Professor Alexei, who was holding a large bouquet of roses, as well as his friend Pasha and others.
"Old Pa, long time no see." Zhou Shujin greeted him warmly in Chinese and gave him a gentle hug.
"I haven't heard this name for almost 20 years," Pasha said with emotion. "It was really a hard and unforgettable happy day."
“It is true”
Zhou Shujin subconsciously glanced at Alexey, who was winking next to her, and then said in Russian with a smile, "Let's go, old friends, I will take you to find a place to stay and have dinner together by the way. Tomorrow morning, we will
