"So you came here to see if peeing in Siberia would freeze your dick?" Dusha asked, smacking a little pine nut that she found out from nowhere in the wooden house.
"That's not entirely the reason... In short, this trip was indeed the right one. Although yesterday was a bit thrilling, if I hadn't come, these two cute little guys would have been trapped by the snowstorm on the road.
Are you ready?" Adam looked at the girl in front of him who was carrying the little boy one foot deep and one foot shallow. After walking a few steps, he looked back to see if the boy on her back had woken up from the jolt.
"But then again, what should the two of them do when they get to the town?"
"I said, I will take them to Moscow and provide them with a place to live and a family." Lieutenant Colonel Andrei in front of the stretcher spoke up.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that Moscow isn't now..." Vika suddenly remembered something.
"The motherland will be fine." Lieutenant Colonel Andre said calmly, with a certain firmness in his tone, "The chaos is only temporary."
"If it really gets better, I won't come back to my hometown." Huntress said, "You are indeed a lieutenant colonel... but what can a lieutenant colonel do in a situation like Moscow? I don't think the situation will get worse next.
The better..."
Andre did not explain, but just carried the stretcher and walked forward. The huntress looked at his back, then turned to look at the girl wearing a ticket beside her, lost in thought.
"Respect the old and love the young, send Buddha to the West, and be so patriotic. Lieutenant Colonel, you are really a good person... Were you an orphan before?" Adam couldn't help but ask after listening to Lieutenant Colonel Andre's words.
After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Andre looked back at Adam, and everyone else also looked at him. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly shut up and spit, and as soon as the spit hit the snow, it turned into ice crystals.
A small hole emerged.
"Speak less and save some energy. The road is still long and we won't have any supplies before we get to the town." Lieutenant Colonel Andre turned his head.
No one spoke in the coniferous forest, and the entire forest suddenly fell into silence. The usual chirping of tits could not be heard. Only occasionally, small strands of snow fell from the coniferous trees and fell into the forest.
.At first, the group was nervous about the strange noise, but as they got used to it, they became much more relaxed. They felt that some weird things happened just by chance, and once they passed, they were gone forever.
About an hour later, there was a cough on the stretcher, breaking the silence.
"Old man!" The huntress was the first to react. She quickly turned back from the front and came to the side of the stretcher carried by Adam and Dusha. She looked at the old man on the stretcher and slowly opened her eyes.
"I..."
"Tell him to talk less." Lieutenant Colonel Andre in front said calmly, "Talk will cause stress on the abdominal diaphragm. His current internal organ condition is not optimistic. If he can't talk, he won't talk."
"Stop talking, old man. We will take you to the hospital in the town now. You will be fine." The female hunter quickly approached the old hunter's ear and told her.
Old Arian opened his eyes and heard the voice of the huntress. It took him half a minute to understand his situation. Looking at the forest that was constantly moving with light in front of him, he finally nodded slowly to show that he understood.
.
"Tsk." Dusha, who was carrying the old hunter, suddenly stopped. She was probably a little depressed that the old guy was really not dead. "I won't carry it anymore. I have no strength and am tired."
"Then get out of here." The female hunter walked over to push Dusha away and took the stretcher. Adam in front was a little confused. He didn't know if it was time to change his shift before the time was up, but he saw the KGB lieutenant colonel coming to pick him up.
After passing the front of the stretcher, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as it's okay, it's okay. It's best for everyone to get to the town safely together." Adam muttered and ran to the little girl's side to take her with him. He also took out half a piece of bread from his body and handed it to the other person. The other party looked at it.
After the bread, he nodded politely to express his gratitude, tore it into pieces, softened it in his mouth, and fed it to his brother behind him.
"Is he awake?" Adam asked, looking at the little boy chewing bread slowly.
"He needs to rest..." the little girl whispered.
"Well...it's indeed a long way from the town, so don't talk on the way." Adam nodded, "If you can't walk anymore, remember to ask us to carry you. You two should be pretty light, so there's no need to feel that way.
Please trouble us, uncle and aunt."
Regarding this matter, the little girl still shook her head and her attitude was very firm. She had not been separated from the boy for a moment since entering the wooden house. In fact, Adam was quite curious if they would go to the toilet together, but in the little girl
Under the beautiful faces of girls and boys, he still stopped this evil thought... He is really not a pedophile.
After the old hunter woke up from the stretcher, the whole team moved forward significantly faster. Starting from 8:30, they walked non-stop for three or four hours. The coniferous forest above their heads covered a lot of skylight.
It was difficult to determine the time, but fortunately Lieutenant Colonel Andre was wearing a 10K gold Victory watch on his wrist. He pointed the hour hand at the sun. The midline between the hour hand and twelve o'clock pointed to the south, which was much easier to use than a compass.
"I'm so hungry." Tusha didn't know where she found a wooden stick and swept the branches and shrubs on the road. She complained that she had finished eating the pine nuts. The breakfast in the morning said that all the food would be taken care of, but it was divided among everyone.
With only a few pieces of frozen fish rolls and half a piece of bread, it was impossible to support a whole day's trek.
"I'm hungry too. Just hold on for a little longer. We should be here soon." Vika comforted her sister while observing the surroundings. They were safe along the way and didn't see any ghosts. But the more they became
At times like this, he became even more nervous. He had not forgotten what happened when he forced his way into the hunter's hut, and the moment he relaxed after flying the old hunter, his sister's palms were still wrapped in gauze and she couldn't move.
.
Dusha only complained a few times and then stopped talking, because she found that the youngest child in the group did not complain at all. The little girl wrapped in a leather jacket silently carried her brother on her back from beginning to end.
, he would stop from time to time to feed his brother water while the stretcher was being changed.
"It's almost twelve o'clock." The lieutenant colonel carrying the stretcher glanced at his watch with one hand and asked the huntress behind him, "How far is it?"
"According to this progress, we should be there soon. We can walk out of the coniferous forest in half an hour at most, and then we can see the town by walking on the road for another half hour." The female hunter estimated their progress and said with certainty.
"I must have a good meal when I get to town, order two or three frozen fish, hold them in my arms and eat them!" Adam said, stroking his palms.
"Actually, if you are lucky, you can solve the problem if you encounter a wild rabbit lunch on the road." The female hunter carrying the stretcher shook the quiver behind her, "I still left one or two arrows that were not poisoned."
"We didn't encounter any wild animals along the way." The KGB lieutenant colonel cast his deep gaze into the dark coniferous forest.
"Is it because of the snowstorm?" Vika looked up at the dense coniferous forest above his head. In the pristine nature, he couldn't even hear the chirping of birds.
"No, it's the peak time for hunting after the snowstorm. All the wild rabbits come out to hunt. Normally, I can at least have a circle of fat rabbits hanging on my body." The female hunter shook her head, "Maybe it's because we are in the coniferous forest.
Maybe it’s because of the edge..."
The lieutenant colonel stopped talking, and the others didn't take it seriously after thinking about it. The old hunter on the stretcher drooped his eyelids and looked at the coniferous forests passing above his head, as if he wanted to say something but didn't have the strength to say it. In the forest
Silence returned again. One coniferous tree passed by one after another, and the snow underfoot left clear traces. The hissing sound of the fur against the snow could not be heard.
Occasionally, the little girl in the team who had been walking quietly without saying a word raised her head. She stopped and looked around for a moment without continuing to move forward.
Adam was the first to notice something strange about the little girl. He stopped and turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
As soon as he stopped, the entire team stopped. The huntress looked back at the little girl standing in the snow and looking into the forest, "Can't walk anymore? Do you want me to carry you?"
The little girl didn't answer. The huntress motioned to Adam to temporarily take over the stretcher. She walked over to ask what was going on, but found that the girl suddenly raised her steps and stepped on the snow, heading in a direction deep in the coniferous forest.
Run quickly and you will be gone in a flash!
"Wait, where are you going?" The huntress was startled by her actions and quickly followed her.
"What are you doing?" Dusha frowned and spat impatiently as she looked at the huntress chasing the little girl.
The lieutenant colonel stood still, looking around at the coniferous forest around him. As if he suddenly understood something, he temporarily placed the stretcher on the ground and followed the footprints left by the huntress and the little girl.
"I'll go take a look, you stay here." Before leaving, the lieutenant colonel glanced at Adam and ordered.
Adam also wanted to follow up to see what was going on, but after receiving the lieutenant colonel's order, he seemed to have glanced at the bandit brothers and the old hunter who were resting on the ground, and understood what the other party meant, so he could only sit there and wait.
The principal also walked deep into the coniferous forest without a trace. Adam looked from left to Vika and Dusha to the stretcher on the ground. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's take a rest..."
Deeper into the coniferous forest, the female hunter found the little girl without taking two steps, because she stopped in front of a bush not far away.
"You...why are you running?" The huntress ran behind the little girl and took a breath. She was about to ask what was going on, but suddenly she heard another voice.
Is that... the sound of a bird?
Yes, that's a bird call... or a cuckoo.
But this is the northeastern part of Siberia. Where can we find cuckoos that are only found in forests in tropical and temperate zones?
The huntress walked behind the little girl step by step. She gently put her right hand on the girl's shoulder and followed her gaze through the low bushes in front of her to look ahead. Unexpectedly, there was actually a patch of snow in front of her.
In the clearing, the cuckoo's call came repeatedly from the clearing.
The cuckoo chirped twelve times.
The little girl bent down in front of the bush, picked up something and handed it to the huntress behind her. The huntress took it blankly and found that it was a piece of burned black cloth.
In the open space, a wooden house stood quietly there. From the window, you could see the familiar layout inside, including the stove, the fire pit and the clock with a wooden bird popping out of the wall.
