War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 155 The city that cannot be mentioned

On the bank of the Volga River in the setting sun, Jima looked at the silly dog ​​wagging its head and tail around him. After all, he didn't pull the trigger of the stun gun, but directly grabbed its collar and lifted his upper body.

"Victor, I'll put this silly dog ​​in the car first."

"Then drive the car over directly." Wei Ran took out two straps from his bag and tied the hands and feet of the stunned cavalry Goman while speaking.

However, while the two dog thieves were busy, on the bridge a few hundred meters away, teacher Dalia, holding a binoculars, shook her head helplessly, then took out her mobile phone and dialed Wei Ran's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Dalia said, "Victor, don't tell me that you didn't turn your phone to silent when you went to capture the prisoners."

Wei Ran subconsciously looked up and looked around, and when he was about to say something, he heard Teacher Dalia continue to say, "Turn on the speakerphone, and then call Jima back."

Although he didn't know what Teacher Dalia wanted to do, Wei Ran, who had already realized that something was wrong, immediately greeted Jima and ran back quickly, and then turned on the hands-free function amidst the other's doubts.

"Mr. Gorman, you can wake up, thank you for your cooperation."

Before Teacher Dalia finished speaking on the phone, the cavalryman Goman, who was hit by the stun gun, opened his eyes and struggled to sit up under the surprised gazes of Wei Ran and Jima.

"Young man, how about opening this for me?" The cavalryman Gorman raised his hands bound by the straps, and blinked at Wei Ran and the two while speaking.

"Open it for him," said teacher Dalia on the other end of the phone.

Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, took out a pair of pliers, cut off the binding strap he had just tied, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"How about my acting skills? Especially when I was hit by your stun gun and fell to the ground just now, isn't it very realistic?"

Gorman, who was sitting on the ground, asked while struggling to get up, and unzipped the zipper of the down jacket to reveal the body armor inside. The blanket that got up, you can tell by looking at the preparations, it is obviously to prevent you from knocking your head when you just fell.

Ignoring the stunned Wei Ran and Jima, Goman re-zipped the down jacket and said gloatingly, "Okay, wait a minute, Ms. Dalia should explain the rest to you clearly, wait a minute If you are still in the mood, welcome to my nursing home."

Qi Shushu glanced at Goman, who was obviously waiting to watch the excitement, and Jima pointed to Wei Ran's mobile phone that was still on, and then pointed to his face and his own.Wei Ran shook his head bitterly, he was already prepared to be scolded in his heart.

After they waited stupidly for more than ten minutes, an unremarkable white Nissan car slowly drove up near the pier. After a long distance, the car stopped, and as the door was pushed open, Teacher Dalia led Two tall girls came over.

Even though the two girls were wearing masks, Wei Ran and Ji Ma recognized them immediately. They were both students of Hongqi Forest Farm, and they had even practiced against each other more than once in the fighting class!
Under their surprised gazes, one of the girls named Olia first looked at Wei Ran and Jima who were in a daze with a suppressed smile, and then cheered and threw herself into Goman's arms, just listening to the address she called out. Just know that these two are father-daughter relationship.

"Mr. Gorman, thank you very much for your help." Teacher Dalia shook hands with Gorman politely.

"It's my honor to help Ms. Daria." Gorman laughed heartily. "I have prepared a room and dinner for you. Do you want to go in now?"

"please wait for a moment"

After Teacher Dalia finished speaking, she looked around at Wei Ran and Jima who were a little at a loss, and then said abruptly, "Take off your clothes and shoes, and just leave a pair of underwear on."

Wei Ran and Ji Ma looked at each other in blank dismay, and then obediently took off their clothes.The showman Goman not far away even stretched out his fat hand to cover his daughter's glasses, but just by looking at the big gap between two fingers that is big enough to stuff an egg, this old guy Obviously not worried about what his daughter should not have seen, and teasing the two young men who were undressing was the main purpose.

When Wei Ran and Ji Ma, who were only wearing underwear, stood tremblingly on the gravel beach, the cold wind by the river also blew out large and dense goose bumps on their bodies.

It wasn't until this time that Teacher Dalia said slowly, "Tell me about your mistakes."

Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of these two people, Teacher Dalia didn't force her, and simply asked, "Have you checked the weapons issued to you?"

"Checked!" Jima said solemnly with his chest up, "The pistol and sniper rifle have been checked, and they are all fine!"

"Where's the bullet?" Teacher Dalia asked flatly.

"Bullet?" Ji Ma was taken aback when he heard this, "Bullet."

"Take up your arms"

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Ji Ma quickly bent down to pick up the pistol and sniper rifle at their feet.

Teacher Dalia pointed to the car not far away, "Shoot at that car."

Wei Ran and Ji Ma, who had already guessed the result, put on the safety and pulled the trigger with bitter faces. As expected, the bullets in the magazine were not fired at all.

"The propellant in the bullet has been replaced by cement by me"

Teacher Dalia said with a blank face, "If you get a strange weapon and don't check it or test it, even that husky will not make such a stupid mistake."

"I checked it, who knows the bullet." Jima muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, try again."

Teacher Dalia obviously heard Jima's nonsense, and happily took out two bullets from her pocket and handed them to Wei Ran and Jima respectively.

"You come first." Teacher Dalia said to Jima with a cold face.

The latter glanced at the bullet in his hand, then pulled out the pistol magazine, emptied the chamber, and loaded the bullet he had just obtained.He pulled the trigger towards his van.

"boom!"

The deafening gunshots startled Wei Ran, who had lost sight of them, and Ji Ma, who looked aggrieved. This movement is not what a silencer weapon should have!

"The silencer Makarov you took has no pressure relief holes on its barrel, and the extra silencer is just an extension tube that also has no relief holes." Teacher Daria went to In front of Ji Ma, "This is the weapon you checked?"

Seeing that Jima had nothing to say, Teacher Dalia did not let go of Wei Ran beside him, but raised her chin, "Lying down, turn on the left turn signal of the car I drove over."

Wei Ran looked at the car parked [-] meters away, obediently lying on the cold gravel, put the sight on the left turn signal on the front of the car, and pulled the trigger calmly.

This time, the expected violent gunshots did not appear, but in the scope, the left turn signal that was originally aimed at was fine, but there was a large spider web of cracks and a bullet in the upper right corner of the windshield. hole.

"Weapons with scopes do not adjust the front sight before use. Is this the weapon you checked?"

Teacher Dalia said this, and took out a small palm-sized mirror from her pocket and threw it to Jima, "Look at the makeup you two idiots put on, a Slav dyed the skin color of his face into the yellow skin of Asians, An Asian turned his yellow skin into a white skin, do you two idiots think that once they are wanted by the police, they will only arrest an Asian and a Slav, not a Slav and an Asian?"

Listening to the uncontrollable laughter of the two girls and Mr. Gorman, Wei Ran and Jima wanted to find a conch shell and get into it.

"Now continue to review your stupid things"

Teacher Dalia regained her calm tone, "You hijacked that smug gentleman and tried to find a reading organization through her. This is a good job. Who thought of it?"

"Me!" Jima said quickly, "Teacher Dalia, I thought of it."

"You think I'm complimenting you?"

Teacher Daria stepped on Jima's feet with her boots, and said with the grinning expression on his face, "This method is really good, but why didn't you catch the drug dealer who came to your door for torture? Instead, choose Following behind like two idiots? And that bastard? Why didn't you imprison her? Didn't you think she would call the police?"

"Teacher Dalia, we want to follow her to find the lair of drug dealers." Wei Ran had no choice but to explain.

"Let's not say whether we can find it"

Teacher Dalia walked up to Wei Ran, "Even if you want to follow this person? How did you follow? I asked Olia to replace the blond drug dealer halfway, and you didn't notice. I asked Vitasha to drive My man also changed him when he bought cigarettes, and you still didn't find out?"

"us."

Before Jima could finish his sentence, his feet were stepped on again by Teacher Dalia, "Are you busy strapping mobile phones under their car site like idiots?"

Speaking of this, Vitasha, who had been standing by the side, held back a smile and took out a stack of photos and handed them to Jima with a distorted face in pain.In these photos, not only did most of the body get into the bottom of the chassis, but Wei Ran was even photographed stuffing pizza into his mouth!

"Why do you always step on me?" Jima muttered aggrievedly after waiting for Teacher Dalia to lift her foot.

"Because Victor paid the tuition, but you didn't." Teacher Dahlia explained as a matter of course, and then snapped her fingers at Vitasha again, who also took out a stack of photos from her bag and handed them over .

The photos taken in these photos are precisely the photos of Wei Ran and Ji Ma sneaking around in the underground parking lot of that high-end apartment, and just like just now, the picture of Ji Ma getting under the car was captured again.

This time, without waiting for Teacher Dalia to explain, Olia, who had been whispering to her father, took the initiative to say, "The physical education teacher Sergey you are following is my boyfriend, how is it? Didn't he act very well? "

Wei Ran and Jima looked at each other with a stack of photos and smiled wryly, then they heard Teacher Dalia continue to say, "Second mistake, you obviously have enough chances to catch Teacher Sergey for torture."

"Can"

Teacher Dalia looked at Wei Ran who was about to speak, "You have already discovered the iron house in the stadium, why don't you go and have a look?"

Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, and confessed all his previous considerations.

"Just because it doesn't feel right?"

Teacher Daria looked back and forth between Wei Ran and Jima's faces, "You two have every opportunity to cover each other to see what's in the tin house, instead of one snoring in the car in front of the school, and the other in the other room Follow the barbed wire and guess what to do next."

"But we did find it here." Jima was still a little dissatisfied, "and caught that silly dog."

"What about the unique product?" Teacher Dahlia asked in a flat tone.

Jima pointed to the small yacht not far away, "We plan to call the police immediately after we catch the dog."

Teacher Dalia waved her hand tiredly, "Go and see for yourself."

Wei Ran and Jima hesitated for a moment, then ran to the yacht obediently, opened the hatch that was not locked at all, and saw several cardboard boxes inside.

Ji Ma tore open the cardboard box in disbelief, and found that it contained only boxes of dog food and canned food!

When they ran back with frustrated faces, Teacher Dalia said in a flat tone, "I hope you like this Christmas gift, now take that silly dog ​​back to Kazan, before you graduate, those photos in your hands They were posted on the door of the dormitory building for me.

In addition, that husky will train with you. If you are not as good as that husky after graduation, I will personally bury you in the forest around Hongqi Forest Farm. "

"Teacher Dalia, we."

Seemingly knowing what Jima was going to say, Teacher Dalia returned to her usual smiling face as if she could change her face, "Bring that husky back to Hongqi Forest Farm and you can have a holiday. The next class will be on January 1th. , Merry Christmas to you all."

"I wish you a Merry Christmas too," Wei Ran and Ji Ma said in unison, picked up the clothes and things at their feet, and fled amidst the uncontrollable laughter of the crowd.

Before they could change their clothes in the car, Vitasha, who also taught at Hongqi Forest Farm, chased after them and got into their car.

"Vitasha, are you going to continue laughing at us?" Jima asked awkwardly.

"Just take your car back to Kazan." Vitasha replied with a smile, and even patted Wei Ran's recently developed abdominal muscles while speaking.

"Vitasha, what's going on?" Wei Ran didn't care about the other party's teasing, and changed the subject after putting on his clothes.

"Originally, if you followed the blond-haired drug dealer, you would indeed find a small-scale gang of drug dealers."

While speaking, Vitasha took out a locator from under the cushion on the floor of the carriage, "This is the locator that I put in myself. While we were secretly monitoring you these days, Teacher Daria took me and Ollie Ya found the place where the gang hid drugs, and yesterday morning, the place was taken away by the police."

"The Cavalry Gorman"

"Mr Gorman's nickname is indeed Cavalry"

While speaking, Vitasha opened the makeup box, took out makeup remover and cotton pads from it, and handed them to the brothers who were hit hard, and pushed away the silly dog ​​who was hugging her arms, "But he is not a drug dealer. , but a well-known businessman in Ulyanovsk, even if you just search on the Internet, you can find his information and this nursing home, this is what Teacher Daria is really angry about."

"Admit it"

Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, no matter for Jima or him, this lesson is enough to be called unforgettable for a lifetime.

Vitasha seemed to be particularly keen on hitting the two of them, and greeted the silly dog ​​who was shaking his head and tail happily and said, "We even adopted it temporarily from a stray animal rescue organization the day before yesterday."

"Vitasha, stop talking."

Ji Ma, who was flushed with embarrassment, started the car in a hurry, "If it wasn't for my lack of strength, I would want to kill people now, and I will never come to this ghost place again."

Vitasha held back a smile and glanced at Wei Ran who was sitting next to him, who waved his hands weakly, "Hurry up and drive, I just want to get out of here quickly."

With the hard work of the past few days, the shame brought by the hard work, the heartless dog and Vitasha, who came to hitchhike on the bright side, but was just here to sprinkle salt on the wound, Jima is on the way back Almost stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom of the floor, and fled Riulyanovsk at the fastest speed.

When the car returned to the Hongqi Forest Farm, they were far away, and they saw the roll-up banners on both sides of the gate. The ones without heavy patterns on them were all a picture of Zhang Weiran and Jima in Uliyang. The photos that were secretly taken when Novsk was searching for drug dealers were the only ones that gave them face. At least in these photos, their faces were all covered with thick mosaics.

Ji Ma slammed on the brakes, allowing the silly dog ​​lying on the passenger seat to slip to the floor and howling in panic, while he turned his head with a sad face, "Victor, I want to drop out of school. I never want to come to Hongqi Forest Farm in my life.”

"Stop talking nonsense, go in quickly." Wei Ran said angrily.

"Ugh--"

Ji Ma sighed heavily, took out a hood from his bag and put it on his head, then stepped on the accelerator again, and drove the car to the door of the five-story building.

Karp in a suit and leather shoes stood on the steps, smiling and said to the two who got out of the car listlessly, "Welcome back, anti-drug warriors."

"Mr. Karp, can't you save us some face?" Jima asked helplessly.

"What about you?" Karp looked at Wei Ran with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Karp, for disappointing you." Wei Ran said sincerely.

"You guys do have shortcomings. I hope that when I see you again next year, I won't make these mistakes again." Karp patted the dog's head that came over like a familiar one, "Okay, this month's lessons for you are over. , Merry Christmas to you in advance.”

"I wish you a Merry Christmas too," Wei Ran and Jima said honestly.

"Remember to practice the violin and your piece of Huaxia wood," Karp said, taking the weapons from Wei Ran and Jima, "Go home early."

"Mr. Karp, would you like to spend Christmas with me?" Jima invited after returning the weapon.

Wei Ran followed up and said, "Or you can go to my studio, Mr. Nicholas is also there."

"Thank you for your kindness." Karp smiled and waved his hands. "At the end of the month, Teacher Dalia, Mr. Nicholas and I will go out to play, but we don't have time to spend Christmas with you."

Now that they have made an arrangement, Wei Ran and Jima naturally stopped pressing, bid farewell to Karp and Vitasha, and the two troubled brothers returned to the dormitory on the top floor, took their own things and the musical instrument box, and changed their bodies. clothes, and then drove away from Hongqi Forest Farm and went straight to Jima's home.

In another two or three days, the first batch of tourists to Inta will arrive. For this group of less than ten tourists, Jima and his friends have been preparing for a full month.

With the lessons learned in Ulyanovsk before, Wei Ranzai also took the opportunity to sneak into the forest near Jima's village alone. I got familiar with the SVT40 semi-automatic rifle.

Not only rifles, but even the Mauser bayonet in the cowhide book was carefully polished and coated with knife oil. At the same time, the first-aid kit that was rewarded was stuffed with a lot of medicines and medical equipment needed for modern first-aid. The controlled drugs that are not available online are all brought by Wei Ran from the Hongqi Forest Farm.

Among other things, after all, in the era of World War II, even the analgesic morphine was packed in an iron tube with an integrated needle. This thing has naturally been replaced by better drugs and drug delivery in this era. methods, not to mention the glass syringes that were retorted and sterilized during World War II.

In addition to these three main items and the titanium alloy custom-made CZ-P09 pistol, the kerosene lamp, the lighter on it, the Kyiv 30 camera, and even the Rollei SLR that he got in Berlin last time, he also I tried every means to replenish the kerosene and the corresponding film respectively.

The lessons from Ulyanovsk are big enough, but the wake-up call and lessons learned from this shame are even more precious.Why did he go to great lengths to get the opportunity to study at Hongqi Forest Farm?Didn't he have a greater chance of coming back alive when the leather book sent him back to World War II?

Before the tourists arrived in Kazan, Wei Ran and Jima also adjusted their bodies and minds to the best condition.Even while waiting, Wei Ran took out the guqin, and compared the few introductory books he got from Sui Xin and the teaching videos found on a small broken website in China, he practiced the last song with difficulty. Simple "Xian Weng Fuck".

As for Ji Ma, it seems that he forgot the ugliness of the past when he returned home. He was busy every day and prepared all kinds of small thoughts to welcome tourists, and even pestered Wei Ran to learn a few words such as "Hello" , "Thank you" and the like in Chinese.

As time passed, on the morning of the 18th, Ji Ma changed into a custom-made suit that cost a lot of money, and greeted Wei Ran, who was carrying a wooden piano case, to the airport ahead of schedule.

"Jima, is it necessary for us to come here so early?"

Wei Ran yawned and asked, the flight of my aunt's daughter and her classmates didn't land until noon, but it's only ten o'clock in the morning, and even Ji Ma's big show bag was specially prepared according to the number of people A basket full of welcome bouquets, and a flashing electronic pick-up sign was specially ordered.

"Of course it is necessary!"

Jima picked up a bouquet of flowers like a fan waiting for an idol and sniffed them intoxicated, "Victor, this is the beginning of my career, this is a memorable day, maybe I will become a business tycoon in the future When the time comes, I will write a memoir, when the time comes, these bouquets, even including this pick-up sign, will be worth writing several pages of material."

"Just you? A business tycoon?"

Wei Ran looked around Ji Ma carefully, and deliberately asked which pot was left unopened and which pot was lifted, "A business tycoon like Mr. Cavalry Gorman?"

"Victor!" Ji Ma, who was still dreaming a moment ago, threw the bouquet in his hand into the basket of the cart angrily, "Can you stop mentioning that name again! And the name of that city!"

Satisfied, Wei Ran walked towards the rest seat not far away, and raised his hand without looking back, "I try not to mention Cavalry Gorman and Ulyanovsk!"

"I'm in a good mood." Ji Ma looked at the cart full of bouquets and all kinds of small gifts prepared with painstaking efforts, and pushed towards Wei Ran not far away without interest.
