Chapter 278 The Katenkas who have lost their support
Just when Herbert rushed to the door of Time Studio again with the clues and items he got from Amanda, Wei Ran had already boarded the flight to Vienna.
Not to mention the depressed and murderous Herbert at the door of the studio. After Wei Ran landed in Vienna the next day, he carefully disguised himself, took out the badge in the food box, and once again walked into the suspended shop.
Brand of Shudong Bookstore.
The moment she saw Wei Ran, Katenka, whose eyes were red and swollen, seemed to have found a backbone, and she threw herself into his arms and began to cry loudly.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Ran gently hugged the bewildered girl, patted her back gently, and allowed her to vent her suppressed emotions in his arms, while he wet himself with tears.
The only formal set of shoulders.
After a long time, Katenka finally stopped crying, sniffling and gently pushed Wei Ran away.
He took out a decorative square scarf from his suit jacket pocket and handed it to the other party. Katenka took it and wiped the tears on his face, and then blew his nose in an imageless manner.
Putting the handkerchief on the bar, Katenka combed her hair and pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Do you want to go see her?"
"Where is she?"
"in hospital"
Katenka sat on the floor leaning against the bar, "She had a sudden heart attack yesterday afternoon. Although I performed some resuscitation on her, she died before the ambulance arrived."
"Did she say anything at the end?"
Wei Ran also sat down against the bar counter, pretending to put his hands in his pockets as cover, and took out the silver wine flask from the metal book and handed it to the girl next to him.
Katenka took the wine bottle and opened it, raised her head and took a sip of whiskey. After calming down a little, she said, "She said her name is Karenina. And... she also asked me if she was exposed."
Katenka took another sip of whiskey and burst into tears again, crying, "She said she wanted to see the Tula River, and also wanted to go to the library in Tyumen to pick up the borrowed copy of "Anna Kale"
Nina" Return it."
Wei Ran looked at the girl next to him who was still dressed in a flashy dress and asked, "Shall we go see her?"
"Okay..." Katenka returned the wine bottle to Wei Ran and stood up holding on to the bar behind him.
"Do you... need to change your clothes?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.
"Yes...I want to change my clothes." Katenka looked at what she was wearing, turned around and ran up the stairs.
Less than five minutes later, this girl walked out wearing a wrinkled black women's suit. But her short, fancy hair, like the pair of Martin boots on her feet, were a little out of place with the formal attire.
Without correcting the other party on these small details, Wei Ran silently followed Katenka out of the bookstore, took a Golf driven by the latter and rushed to the hospital. Finally, he saw the old man in the morgue who looked peaceful as if he was asleep.
.
After looking around and seeing that there were no cameras here, Wei Ran turned his attention to Katenka who was standing aside.
The latter seemed to know what he wanted to do, he just nodded slightly, then walked towards the door, with his back to Wei Ran and tried to stand up straight.
Carefully rolling up Lao Katenka's sleeves, Wei Ran followed Nicholas' original prompts and found the wound, and then found a mole the size of a grain of rice near the wound.
After careful observation to confirm his identity, Wei Ran took out the badge provided by Nicholas from his pocket and gently pinned it on the lining of Old Katenka's coat.
After tidying up the other party's clothes, Wei Ran motioned to the girl guarding the door to come over and asked with a hard heart, "When will she be cremated? I'll send her back."
"Just this afternoon..."
The new Katenka held the old Katenka's frosty palm, "I think she can't wait to go back."
Wei Ran sighed, "Let's do it this afternoon."
The young Katenka bent down and hugged the peaceful old man for the last time. With the help of Wei Ran, he went through various procedures and then took her to the local crematorium.
Until the two of them watched the old man's body being sent into the cremator, Katenka, who had been strong all the way, threw herself into Wei Ran's arms again, carefully releasing her suppressed cries and grief.
It only took one afternoon to complete the funeral without any ceremony. When the coffin containing the ashes of the old Katenka was buried in the cemetery, the young Katenka looked silently at the tombstone marking the end of the work.
After a long while, he took Wei Ran back to Shudong Bookstore in the dark and took him directly to the third floor, which was still dirty and unsightly.
Carrying the scattered clothes on the sofa to the chair aside, and then pulling aside the uneaten pizza and other food and drink boxes and bags on the table, Kajianka put the cards containing the previous generation cards aside.
The jar of Jianka's ashes was placed on the table, and then he took a few deep breaths. After Wei Ran sat down on the sofa opposite, he asked anxiously, "What should I do next?"
"Let's live somewhere else, anywhere." Wei Ran replied following Nikolai's instructions.
"Anywhere?" Katenka raised her delicate eyebrows, her pretty little face full of surprise.
"Anywhere?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
"No... no problem!" Katenka looked at Wei Ran in disbelief, "Who do I need to contact in the future?"
"I didn't tell you." Wei Ran spread his hands, "Just let me know where you moved."
"Do I just need to let you know?" Katenka asked.
Seeing Wei Ran nod hesitantly, Katenka breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems you will be my boss from now on."
"Wait, I'm your boss?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.
Katenka nodded seriously and then said, "If you have no doubts, now I need to see your true appearance."
"Now?" Wei Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse. He really didn't want to get involved in these things, but thinking about it, before setting off, Nicholas specifically told him to agree to whatever request the other party made, and he suddenly fell into
Hesitated.

Katenka stood up as she spoke. She took out a half-used bottle of makeup remover from a nearby pile of cosmetics and a variety of unworn underwear and handed it to Wei Ran. Then she pointed at something.
A door in the distance said, "That's the bathroom."
Taking the makeup remover from the other party, Wei Ran sighed secretly, got up and went into the bathroom, which was also filled with all kinds of clothes waiting to be washed.
After cleaning off the disguise on his face and returning his dyed light blonde hair to its original state, Katenka had already changed his suit into jeans and a T-shirt when he came out of the bathroom.
"Are you Asian?"
Katenka looked around Wei Ran, the look of surprise on his face getting thicker and thicker, but before Wei Ran could open his mouth, he continued, "I just sighed, you don't need to give me any answers, now you can
You've returned to your original appearance, do you need me to find some cosmetics for you?"
"I brought it myself"
Wei Ran pointed to the briefcase placed on the sofa. He was not in a hurry to resume his previous disguise, but sat down and asked, "Have you decided where to move?"
Katenka held the urn on the table in her arms, shook her head and replied, "I haven't thought about it yet, but as long as it's in Europe, of course, Russia or the former Soviet Union countries."
"Why?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
Katenka looked down at the urn in her arms, but just shook her head and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"Do you have any requests?" Wei Ran looked at the other person and asked.
"It shouldn't be too remote. At least it should have stable electricity and network, and it should also have convenient transportation and better security." Katenka thought for a moment and then added, "If possible, it would be better to be in a warmer place."
“How is Italy?”
Wei Ran thought of the Gubijing Pasta Restaurant that he had rented but had no use for. "If you know Italian, you can go to Turin. I rented a restaurant there and it's still empty."
"As long as I don't need to pay rent later," Katenka replied in proficient Italian.
"If you are saying something in Italian, it is best to say it again in German or Russian." Wei Ran spread his hands pretending to be confused, "I don't understand Italian."
"I said, as long as I don't have to pay the rent in the future, it's okay." Katenka's mood improved inexplicably, and she said it again in German.
"The funds have exploded. I hope Mr. Nicholas can reimburse me..." Weiran muttered secretly. After calculation, it would cost 150,000 euros a year, which is not a small amount.
Having made up his mind, Wei Ran wrote down the detailed address of Gubijing Pasta Restaurant, as well as the landlord's weird request and contact information when he originally rented this place, and gave it to Katianka.
After the other party collected the note, Wei Ran continued to ask, "Do you need my help with the next moving work?"
"I can do this myself"
The young Katenka hesitated for a moment, then asked with a trace of well-hidden pleading in his tone, "But, can you stay and have a few drinks with me today?"
Wei Ran opened his mouth, and finally nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Katenka breathed a sigh of relief.
After he disguised his face again, Katenka took one last look at the urn placed on the table, got up and took Wei Ran downstairs and left the bookstore, heading straight to a nearby supermarket that was still open.
Following this girl, who seemed to be about the same age as Suisui, they purchased some snacks and alcoholic drinks in the supermarket, and then the two returned to the second floor of Shudong Bookstore, which was not open to the public.
Katenka, who was silent along the way, kicked off her shoes, poured herself a glass of red wine, nestled herself on the sofa, sipped the wine in the glass, and stared at the stairs leading to the third floor with tears.
daze.
As a bystander, Wei Ran secretly sighed. He didn't know the story between this girl and the old Katenka, let alone what kind of life they lived in the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and he didn't know either.
She knew what it meant to them when she walked into this bookstore on behalf of Nicola.
But he knew that Katenka, who was curled up on the sofa opposite and helpless at this time, was just like the woman also named Katenka at that time, just like that winter night more than thirty years ago, on a day when she might
It was a moment that had been foreseen but unprepared for, and in the blink of an eye, all one's support was lost.
