When the sun's rays struggling to break through the horizon dyed the sparkling Kaban Lake a red gold color, Wei Ran had already completed a five-kilometer lap around the lake shore.
Energized, he went into the bathroom and took a cold shower. While he was preparing breakfast, a dirty Vaz van also honked its horn at the door of the yard.
Before he could walk out of the room, six or seven young gangsters with blue, green and assorted hair opened the car door and jumped out.
"Why are you here so early?" Wei Ran opened the locked iron gate as he spoke, "Just drive in."
One of the gangsters who dyed his hair blue said in a silly voice, "Jima said we can have breakfast if we come early."
"He's right, come in quickly!"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, a little girl with colorful hair who looked to be no more than 20 years old had already driven in the van.
These gangsters were the helpers that Wei Ran called Ji Ma last night, who was still attending classes at the Hongqi Forest Farm. Otherwise, he would have to sort out the books by himself, and he would probably spend all the days before returning to the forest farm to attend classes.
After greeting these gangsters into the lobby on the first floor, Wei Ran only had time to bring hot milk and brewed coffee, while the rest of the food and drink were brought to the long table by the other gangsters.
While chatting and getting to know each other, and finishing a fairly hearty breakfast, Wei Ran drank all the coffee in his cup and asked, "Have you bought the things Jima asked you to bring?"
"bought!"
The leading gangster said as he stood up, "They are all in the car, Victor, shall we start now?"
"If you have rested enough, let's start now."
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he stood up and led them to the pile of old books not far away and introduced, "The work is not difficult. These books have been sorted when they are packed. Pay attention to the newspapers wrapped outside.
You’ll know which category they belong to based on what’s written on it.”
Speaking of this, Wei Ran pointed to the bookshelf that he spent a lot of money to rush to order when he was renovating the house in the distance. "Just put it on the bookshelf according to the labels on it. The important thing is to roughly read through each book before putting it on it."
Check to see if there is anything inside, and scan it with the metal detector you brought before putting it on the bookshelf."
"Girls are responsible for metal detection and book flipping, and boys are responsible for carrying. Don't get confused!"
While the leader of the gangster was talking, he had already placed the plastic boxes brought from the car on the long table. At the same time, he distributed the handheld metal detectors used for security inspection to the few girls who came with him, and then gave them carefully.
The other boys each received a pair of cotton gloves.
"Your name is Greva, right?" Wei Ran stopped the leading gangster and asked.
"Yes, Greva Arach," the gangster replied, "Both I and Jima are named Arach. It is said that when they were in Inta, my grandfather and his grandfather were still brothers."
Cousin relationship?
Wei Ran remembered the relationship between the other party and Ji Ma in a way that was easier for him to understand, and then took out a wad of bills from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "Gleva, please do your best, take a lamp, and go
Find a hardware store where you can buy the accessories they use.
The main ones are power cords and spare light bulbs. Count as many desk lamps as you have and buy new power cords and double the bulbs. Remember to buy some tools that can take the desk lamps apart.
Use the remaining money to buy some beer that you like to drink, and buy lunch by the way, remember to buy more."
"give it to me!"
After speaking, Greva happily went out with the money. This was not the first time that they helped Wei Ran. Not to mention that they helped renovate the house more than a month ago. It was the first time that Wei Ran went to their village to look for it.
The two parties had already met when Nikolai arrived.
It's just that at that time, Greva was still the leader of their gang whose sphere of influence was limited to small towns. But in just a few years, Ji Ma, who worked under him at the time, was already a movie star, and this man who once fought
The Chinese who entered the village in the name of postman have appeared on TV more than once in the name of historians.
Fortunately, thanks to Ji Ma's care, they are doing well now, at least they have left the village and entered the city of Kazan.
Although I can't do many things because of Ji Ma's requirements, I lose some freedom. But at least I no longer have to rely on petty theft to live like before.
Thinking about the changes in the past two years, Greva took the desk lamp that looked older than himself and drove the van quickly away from the large yard by Lake Kaban.
At the same time, the relatively younger gangsters in the lobby on the first floor also started their work in earnest.
With the cooperation of these male and female gangsters, the packages of books were unwrapped with newspapers. The two girls hurriedly flipped through them to see if there was anything caught in the pages, and then placed them on the floor.
A little girl holding a metal detector carefully scanned it and finally determined that there was nothing unusual except for the staples. Then two other young men stacked it up and put it on the bookshelf in categories.
Although this move seemed overly cautious, Wei Ran had his own considerations. After all, when he came back, the cheap tutor on the other side took the initiative to come to him and take him to buy an old house. So even if Gore had previously
Man had promised that there was nothing wrong with the teacher and the student, so he couldn't help but be overly cautious.
On the other hand, after this inspection, I found quite a lot of things. Quite a few of them are various homemade bookmarks or beautiful leaves.
In addition, among the things that were dug out were various paintings that children scribbled on paper, greeting cards with traces of time, even stamps that were issued with no idea when they were issued, and even postcards of confession written by someone who did not know who.
.
At Wei Ran's instruction, all these little bits and pieces were put into a large photo album for temporary storage. After all, those little girls were relatively more emotional girls. Encouraged by those little surprises, they
I am also working more and more seriously.
Before the gangster leader Greva came back, Wei Ran dug out a flaw detector from the plastic box placed on the long table. With the help of one of the gangsters who claimed to work in an auto repair shop, he
All the bookshelves I bought together were inspected.
These bookshelves are all in relatively good condition selected by Wei Ran, and the purpose of buying them is just to fill the remaining idle rooms on the third floor. At the same time, he secretly hopes that they will be available soon.
In the future, maybe you can put some truly commemorative things on it as a private collection.
Just when he was thinking wildly, a gangster raised his head and asked, "Victor, what should I do with those wooden boxes?"
"Tear it apart and handle it the same way."
Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "Remember to see if the books inside are stored in the same categories. If not, put them on a separate bookshelf first. I will sort them out myself when I have time."
Hearing this, the gangster immediately pulled out the bayonet of an AK assault rifle from his waist and pried open the sealed wooden box. At this moment, Greva also parked the van at the door again.
.
However, before Wei Ran could help him move all the accessories, food, beer and drinks he bought to the long table in the hall, the gangster who had just been in charge of opening the box raised his head and shouted, "Victor,
Come take a look, we found something interesting."
"immediately!"
Wei Ran responded, but there was no look of surprise on his face. At this time, he became more and more suspicious of whether this "surprise" was deliberately prepared by Kajik.
Putting down the box of red bottle of Great White Bear beer he was holding in his hand, Wei Ran, under the guidance of the gangster, squatted down in front of a dirty wooden box.
This box is quite big. If you took away the books packed inside, I would be very rich if you could even put a microwave in it.
Taking the book handed over by the gangster, Wei Ran immediately realized something was wrong. It was a "Soviet Medical Encyclopedia". It was 16 karat in size and at least five or six centimeters thick. The maroon cover on the outside was also
It is exceptionally thick and delicate, but the weight of this book is far beyond its own weight.
Gently opening the cover, there was nothing unusual about the first dozen pages, but after that, large outlines were dug out on the pages. The most important thing was that a Nagant revolver was fixed in these outlines.
And 14 rounds of countersunk bullets used in the Nagant revolver.
Without hurrying to take out the pistol, Wei Ran closed the book and put it back in the box. He called two gangsters to help him and lifted the entire box onto the long table.
At this time, the gangsters and girls headed by Greva also put down their work and gathered around to look at Qi Qi.
After carefully inspecting the torn seal on the box and the slight mold stains on the lower part, Wei Ran was able to confirm that this box had probably not been opened for a long time.
It was only then that he reopened the "Soviet Medical Encyclopedia" and took out the revolver hidden inside.
What frightened him was that the cylinder of this revolver was actually full of bullets! This was also thanks to the little gangster who didn't take it out just now. Otherwise, if he tried to pull the trigger, this building was decorated.
I'm afraid the house will become a haunted house.
The bullets were ejected from the cylinder one after another. Wei Ran first tried to pull the trigger and saw that the hammer moved together. Then he focused on the left side of the gun body, directly below the hammer.
Five-pointed star stamped on it.
This five-pointed star stamp represents the Tula Arsenal, and the words "1950" below the five-pointed star indicate its production time.
Although it was produced nearly seventy years ago, there are not many traces of use on this pistol. Not only does the bluing on the gun body show no wear and tear, but even the screw that fixes the handle patch is still worn.
its original color.
"Maybe it was just the librarian's own self-defense weapon at that time."
Wei Ran came to a conclusion as usual, without mentioning the fact that a pistol of the same model had been found in the library at that time.
Hearing this, the little gangsters around them also turned their attention to the topic of how to hide weapons better, and the little girls said that they used the same method to hide weapons in books when they were in high school.
All kinds of things.
Seeing those little gangsters starting to get busy again, Wei Ran suppressed his curiosity, closed the box again, and stared at the other boxes.
Unfortunately, until around noon, when all the boxes were opened and all the books were put on the shelves, they found nothing similar.
