With a soft "crash" sound, Mikita and Paulide each placed the removed firing pin on the table in no particular order.
“It’s all here”
Paulide counted the firing pins, put them all into his pocket and said, "The firing pins of all semi-automatic rifles have been removed. Captain Mikita, why don't we place all those mines in this building? That's for sure.
It can save a lot of trouble.”
"Our goal is not to kill them."
Wei Ran, who was restoring the rummaged single beds to their original state, took over and explained, "We need to ensure that those people are alive and kicking, otherwise who will help us dig out the collapsed mine?"
"Victor is right."
Mikita took out his cigarette case and said, "Next..."
"Don't smoke in this building"
Before the other party took out his lighter, Wei Ran warned, "Cigarette butts or ashes can easily expose us. If they come today, the residual smoke smell will also make our prey more alert."
"It's not that exaggerated..." Mikita muttered, and finally put away the cigarette case honestly.
While the two waited patiently, Wei Ran eliminated all traces of rummaging, and then went to another building to sweep up enough dust and gently blew it on the cotton bedspread and the floor.
"Victor, what have you been doing all these years since you left Mine 52?"
It wasn't until Wei Ran locked the door with a chain and a lock, and wiped the footprints left by the three of them with a rag he didn't know where to find, that Mikita took advantage of the former to cover up the footprints on the snow.
The footprints of Kung Fu asked.
After a slight hesitation, Wei Ran, who was busy at work, said without raising his head, "I have been in Kazan all these years."
"Are you in Kazan?!"
A look of surprise appeared on Mikita's face, and then he blamed, "Since you are in Kazan, why don't you ever contact us?"
"My current identity is not that popular." Wei Ran paused for a moment and said tentatively, "I work at the Hongqi Forest Farm."
"Where is the Hongqi Forest Farm?" Paulide asked blankly.
"There should be many forest farms with this name, right?" Mikita's tone was also filled with uncertainty.
"Where is Lenin Technical School?" Wei Ran asked with a smile. The reason why he said this was just that he was looking forward to hearing some news about Hongqi Forest Farm from these two people.
"Where is that place?" Paulide still looked confused, "Captain Victor, did you become a teacher?"
"Did you just say Lenin Technical School?" Mikita's expression changed. "That Lenin Technical School? You actually went there?"
"Where is that place?" Paulide asked dissatisfiedly, "Can't you just tell me?"
"Let Victor speak for himself. I don't dare to talk nonsense about that school." Mikita shook his head with a wry smile, and there seemed to be a trace of despair and regret on his face.
"Do not misunderstand"
Wei Ran patted Mikita on the shoulder, continued to squat down, and carefully cleaned the footprints while saying, "Captain Mikita, I came here as a friend this time, so if Paulide wants to know something,
It's up to you, if you still regard me as a friend and as a member of the firing squad."
"I...can say?" Mikita asked tentatively.
"Of course." Wei Ran waved his hand happily and handed his back to Mikita and Paulide with confidence.
Mikita glanced at Wei Ran with a complicated expression, and finally sighed, "I've only heard of that school, but I don't know what's there. It's even the first time for me to know that that school is actually in Kabul."
Mountain!"
"It doesn't matter. Just tell me what you heard."
Wei Ran gently brushed the snow with pine needles, "And wouldn't these be more suitable for you? After all, you didn't know where I worked before, you don't know now, and you won't know in the future."
Mikita raised his eyebrows, then nodded with a smile and took a long breath, "That's right."
"Why am I confused?" Paulide still looked confused.
"I only know two things"
Even in this wilderness, Mikita still lowered his voice subconsciously, "First, only the best soldiers and party members with the strongest beliefs have the opportunity to work there.
Second, I once heard someone accidentally say that the best-performing prisoners of war in the correctional camp had the opportunity to be sent to a place called Lenin Technical School for further study. And they never came back, even in the correctional camp.
Records of work done will be destroyed."
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
Seeing the two people looking at him, Wei Ran stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment and said with a smile, "They may have gone home."
"Go home? Do you mean to be repatriated?" Paulide asked subconsciously, "What about you? Captain Victor, you are not going to be a teacher for the prisoners of war... huh!"
Before the bearded Paulide could finish his words, Mikita blocked his mouth with a ball of snow and gave him a warning look.
Wei Ran smiled upon seeing this, and continued to clean up the footprints on the ground while talking nonsense, "I am still the executioner, just like I was in Mine No. 52 more than ten years ago."
"What do you want to eat later?" Mikita asked stiffly, changing the subject, obviously not wanting to continue talking about anything about Lenin Technical School.
"You decide"
Wei Ran pointed at the footprints that hadn't been cleaned up yet. I'll take care of this first. "You can go back and prepare meals first, and discuss what we should do next."
"Then I'll leave this place to you."
Mikita didn't give Paulide a chance to speak at all, and pulled him towards the abandoned hospital not far away.
"Does this poor school have such a long history?" Wei Ran waited until the two of them walked away before muttering.
Ever since he knew that Hongqi Forestry Farm was likely to be inextricably linked to Lenin Technical School, in order to avoid being troubled, he had actually been deliberately avoiding contact with information about Lenin Technical School for so long.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time, asking Mikita, a native of Kazan, in this historical fragment was completely on a whim, but he never expected that the school had such a long history.
, and I didn’t expect that this school would once search for materials suitable for training as spies in correctional camps.
"Thankfully it disintegrated..."
Wei Ran cooed with a smile and continued to wave the pine branches in his hands, gradually smoothing away the footprints left by everyone.
After all the footprints were cleaned up, Wei Ran walked through the small square with two statues and returned to the abandoned hospital opposite.
Obviously, taking advantage of the little time just now, Mikita had already explained something to Paulide, and the latter finally gave up his curiosity. At this time, the two of them were busy skinning the wolves they brought back.
Picking up an unknown hunting knife, Wei Ran also joined in the process of skinning the wolf carcass.
"Victor, we can't keep waiting for those two-legged animals who don't know whether they will come." Mikita tore off a piece of wolf skin with force and threw it to Paulide beside him and continued, "So
After dinner, we plan to continue to go to Mine No. 4 to think of a solution. We have brought so much explosives that we will definitely be able to blow up the collapsed mine."
"You are the captain of the firing squad, and I will listen to your arrangements."
As Wei Ran spoke, he poked the hunting knife in his hand onto the bed board, then grabbed the belly of the wolf corpse and pulled it hard, pulling off the entire skin and handing it to Paulide for subsequent processing, and then with the help of Mikita
Then, he threw the internal organs in his abdominal cavity into the oil drum next to him.
"In this case, we work every eight hours and have eight hours of rest every 16 hours."
While Mikita was speaking, he swung an ax to help Wei Ran chop off the skinned wolf head tied to the bed frame. While Sersi was carrying the wolf meat to another room next door, Mikita continued, "
Cecil and I are in a group, Victor, and you are in a group with Paulide. We rotate every eight hours.
Those who come back to rest are not only responsible for preparing food and drink, but also responsible for keeping an eye on the direction of the river. If those animals really come, there is no need to rush into conflict with them, just put them in the nurses' dormitory building, we will wait for them
Have a good chat with them after you've settled in, so that they won't have any fallbacks."
"I have no opinion"
Wei Ran replied without thinking that this was indeed the best arrangement. Those prisoners of war might definitely come, but they were not sure when they would come. Therefore, there was really no need for them to stay away from their business and keep doing it.
Just waiting here.
Seeing Wei Ran agreeing so happily, Mikita immediately showed a smile on his face, raised his ax and chopped it hard, split open the skinned wolf head, and then used an unknown spoon to chop off the remaining wolf head.
I poured out all my brains into a clean lunch box.
Even without explanation, Wei Ran knew that these people would never eat the brains of wolves, and the reason why they did this was just to use the brains of wolves to tannish the wolf skins they had just peeled off. This was quite a bit confusing.
Although he doesn't know Douqi's craftsmanship, he has seen it from Inta and even Jima.
"In this case, after dinner, Selsi and I will go there first."
Mikita threw the valueless wolf head into the iron bucket containing scraps, and finally asked worriedly, "Victor, can you do directional blasting?"
"certainly"
Wei Ran showed a gentle smile and said directional blasting. Of course he knew how to do this, but he had rarely used it before.
Following the two men, they peeled off the wolf skin one by one. After carefully scraping the remaining fat on it, Paulide directly nailed it to the wall with nails.
Even the wolf meat was not wasted. They were all sent to a room with intact windows and hung up on iron racks with high and low bunks. Then a brazier was lit and covered with pine needles that Wei Ran got back in the morning.
When thick smoke billowed out, the three people sealed the door with canvas bed boards that had been nailed in advance.
There is a high probability that they will not eat this wolf meat, but after all, no one can guarantee how long they will waste here to open the mine tunnel, so it is a good choice to use it as a reserve food.
On the other hand, it can be said objectively that these Soviet people who experienced World War II really suffered from hunger, and they were almost as frugal as the generations of people who suffered in China.
Perhaps, this is the reason why these people are obviously here for the gems, but they are still ready to peel off the wolf skin that they accidentally hit and take it away.
Wei Ran blew the smoke coming out of the crack near the door, cut off the random thoughts in his mind, turned around and got into the room that served as the kitchen.
It had only been half a day, and under the blazing fire, the fireplace that Selsi made out of mud and oil buckets had already come in handy. Now there were not only several cast iron pots and enamel kettles that were cooking and boiling water on it, but
Even the room has become a lot warmer.
"I never realized that this place was so beautiful." Mikita said with emotion while holding a half cup of coffee, leaning against the window sill and looking at the snowy scenery outside.
“I don’t think it’s beautiful here”
Paulide lit a cigarette and said, "The mosquitoes in the summer and the smell of corpses wafting from the trenches, at least eight months of winter, and the sun only comes out for less than four hours a day in the winter.
Of course, there is also the polar night where there is no sun and the green aurora. I have had enough of these things for a long time, so I went to the warm Harqif. If it weren’t for those damn gems, I would never want to come back in this life.
It’s here.”
"really"
Mikita grinned, "I take back my stupid words just now. It seems that I haven't been here for a long time, and I stupidly started to miss the life back then."
"Speaking of this, I have a question."
Paulide took the coffee brought by Selsi, "If we encounter those animals again, they should be considered Soviet citizens by now. But they must not let them know the secret of the gems, so if we kill them, will we?
in trouble?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What trouble can there be?" Mikita said nonchalantly, "What if they are also here to look for gems? What if a Soviet comes to steal our gems?"
"Of course I'll kill them," Paulide said without thinking.
"Or we don't have to kill them."
Mikita glanced at Wei Ran without any trace, and seeing that he had no strange expression, he continued, "We can totally cause a mining disaster, right?"
"Were the mining disasters in the aluminum mines at that time also man-made?" Wei Ran asked half seriously and half jokingly while holding the coffee he had just received.
"How is it possible? It was an accident caused by an earthquake."
Mikita denied this speculation, but his innocent look made Wei Ran more and more certain that it was man-made.
The reason why Mikita did this is not difficult to guess. He must have silenced the experimental prisoners of war who were responsible for mining, so instead of worrying about whether these people would tell other prisoners of war the secret of the gems, and targeted silence
It is obviously a good way to save time and effort and is very consistent with Maozi's thinking logic to solve all the prisoners of war taken out of Mine No. 52 at once.
On the other hand, although Mikita did not view and treat the prisoners of war with hatred like Wei Ran, he did not regard those prisoners of war as human beings.
For this professional executioner, the only difference between killing prisoners of war one at a time and burying hundreds or thousands of prisoners alive at once is simply the use of different tools.
"It's just a bunch of animals. If they die, they will die."
Wei Ran expressed his attitude while holding the coffee cup, and at the same time dispelled Mikita's worries, "To be honest, I really miss the life in Mine 52. After all, Japanese prisoners of war have to be shot and tortured at any time.
..No, they should be called war criminals. In short, this kind of life is so nostalgic and longing for."
"I was always worried that you would become a murderous maniac." Mikita shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Get ready to eat," Selsi, who had already put all the food on the table, greeted everyone while serving soup for everyone.
Hearing this, the three of them also promptly stopped talking and sat down around the table not far from the fireplace.
This lunch is quite simple. Each person has a communist dish and a large bowl of cabbage soup. The rest is sliced large ribs and a small cup for each person. According to Sersi's regulations, working hours must be limited.
Supplied Vodka.
This so-called communist dish is actually Russian-style goulash, or you can just call it beef stew with potatoes.
This thing was originally a famous dish in Hungary, and its status in Hungary is roughly the same as that of "Imperial Roast Duck" in China.
A clay pot the size of a coconut shell is filled with potatoes, beef, chili and other ingredients, and is stewed on the fire until it becomes soft and delicious. This kind of stew can be transliterated as "pants diarrhea" and can be found basically everywhere in Hungary.
The home-cooked dishes are also the first choice when traveling far away or when you need to take meals with you.
Just like when he was unloading supplies from the car yesterday, Wei Ran had already noticed that there were at least four wooden boxes filled with this kind of stew in clay pots, which had solidified into jelly due to the low temperature.
Needless to say, its advantages are that it not only tastes good, but the clay pot can be heated directly on the fire. Just boil it until it boils and then serve it with rice or bread slices.
The only shortcoming of this thing is probably that the shelf life is not long enough. However, in this freezing Siberia, the shelf life does not depend on the sterile environment at all, but all depends on the temperature.
As for why this kind of stew, which tastes good when traveling at home, is called a "communist dish", it's all because of Khrushchev's famous saying in a speech in Hungary that year - Beef stew with potatoes is communist.
doctrine.
Just like this dish, the bowl of cabbage soup that is full of ingredients is also similar. It is made in advance and frozen into blocks. When you need to eat, you can just throw it into the pot and heat it up.
Not only do these two things taste great and save time, but even Selsi can easily make enough for everyone.
Of course, this also indicates that these two things will appear on the dining table every day for a long time.
"I'm beginning to miss the prisoner of war I took away back then. His cooking skills were really good." Mikita said as he clinked glasses with Wei Ran and Paulide.
"The Great Dream of Xishan?" Wei Ran immediately asked, "That prisoner of war number 589?"
"Your brain is really good, you can remember so many things." Mikita took a sip of wine, "I have long forgotten his name and serial number."
"Is he still alive?" Wei Ran asked the most critical question.
"Probably still alive."
"Maybe?" Wei Ran looked at Mikita in confusion.
"He ran away?" Paulide was the first to shout the answer.
"right"
Mikita nodded, "That's why I rushed over to look for gems as soon as I learned that the military base was abandoned. The prisoner of war disappeared on the day of the mining accident in the aluminum mine. No one knows where he went.
, and no one knows whether he survived."
At this point, Mikita paused, "But I'm sure that if he survives, he will definitely go to the mine where the gems are hidden."
"Why?" Paulide put down the soup bowl and asked.
"The one who led you was his younger brother."
While eating, Mikita told the truth vaguely, "I asked him to choose one, whether he would survive or his brother would survive. He chose his brother, but I still took him away. After all, he
His cooking skills are really good.”
"Uncle Mikita, could those prisoners of war who may come be the chef you just mentioned?" Sersi, who was eating quietly at first, also joined the conversation.
"It's not impossible"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mikita put down the spoon, thought for a moment and then told his nephew, "Sersi, no matter who comes, if they let
If you feel danger, you must shoot immediately, even if you kill them all, it doesn't matter."
"I..." Selsi swallowed, "I understand."
"Don't hesitate, killing them is no different from the beasts we killed when hunting." Mikita continued to instruct uneasily, "But they are more dangerous than the beasts we encountered when hunting, so you go
Never hesitate at any time.”
"And don't believe a word they say."
Wei Ran reminded him from the side, "Selsi, the three of us walking in front of you were the executioners of this mine at the time. If they see us and have the ability to retaliate, they will definitely kill us, so
If you hesitate at all when you need to shoot, the three of us may die."
"Victor is right."
Paulide also reminded him, "Didn't you keep talking about how accurate your shooting was on the way? Don't let us laugh at you then."
"I will definitely not hesitate!" Young Selsi's tone was much firmer this time. After Wei Ran and the other three looked at each other, they also tacitly changed the topic to other aspects.
After finishing lunch in a hurry, Mikita immediately left the abandoned hospital with Selsi and several boxes of explosives in a car.
"Let's go get some firewood." Paulide had already put on his rifle as he spoke, "How about we go near the river? We can also keep an eye on it to see if any livestock is coming."
"Let's move to another place," Wei Ran refused without thinking. "We left too many traces there. If those animals come, we will be exposed easily."
"Then go in the opposite direction"
After Paulide finished speaking, he opened the car door, got in, and drove his latest truck roaring out of the lobby on the first floor.
Watching the other party leave, Wei Ran locked the door from the inside, then found a way to climb to the top floor, found a room with a view of the dock, wrapped the blanket tightly around him and sat on the chair he picked up, while giving the
The assault rifle was wrapped with a white cloth strip, while he quietly looked at the scenery outside.
