War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 356 Wei Ran's Identity

"What's the problem?" Gorman asked Wei Ran, returning the tablet computer that he had been holding all the time.

"Aurora is just an ordinary girl. She doesn't know my experience studying at Hongqi Forest Farm."

Wei Ran paused, then continued, "I don't know if I should tell her about the Hongqi Forest Farm, or if being with her will harm her."

"Why would you want to ask such an idiot question?" Gorman looked at Wei Ran like a fool, "Why did you tell her? Just because she is your girlfriend now?"

Seeing that Wei Ran nodded, Gorman patted his forehead, "Okay, is it true that your Huaxia law stipulates that when two people fall in love, they must detail their educational experience? Including what majors they have studied and the grades of each major How? Or do you need a signature certificate from the professional teacher before you can confess your love to the girl you like?"

"Ah..." Wei Ran grinned, "It's not necessary."

"So first problem solved"

Gorman spread his hands as a matter of course, "Victor, you are a historian with some achievements. Even an idiot like Gorbachev didn't stipulate that historians should not fall in love, let alone learn some simple self-defense techniques. .”

"But isn't the historian my disguised identity?" Wei Ran, who had been spared by Gorman, said subconsciously.

"Disguised identity?"

Gorman snorted disdainfully, "If you're not a historian, what is your real identity? A member of the KGB? A spy? Or an agent of a certain country? Victor, you made a stupid mistake."

Hearing this, Wei Ran was stunned, just like what Gorman said, what is it if he is not a historian?Aren't historians who they really are?In other words, although I learned a lot of cold knowledge at Hongqi Forest Farm, those things were not prepared for the world I grew up in.

Seeing that he seemed to have figured something out, Gorman took out a piece of flaming wood from the fireplace and lit the cigarette in his mouth, and said, "You are a little famous In other words, you are an ordinary person, you should fall in love, get married, have a child like an ordinary person, and finally grow old with your wife and children, waiting to be buried in a landscape. Not a bad cemetery.

At that time, your child will point to your tombstone and proudly tell others, look!That was my father, and he was a great historian.By the way, his skills are also good, I guess he knows Chinese Kung Fu, he will always stand up to protect me every time I am bullied, and I will become the same person as him in the future. "

Gorman's description with anticipation and envy made Wei Ran smile uncontrollably, and the big rock that had been pressing in his heart these days quietly fell to the ground.

Taking a deep puff on the cigarette again, Gorman asked abruptly after a moment of silence, "Victor, are you asking these stupid questions because you saw the misfortune of Uma and me?"

Wei Ran was stunned, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded slightly, which was considered to be a response to Gorman's question.

"We are different"

Gorman threw the smoked cigarette into the fireplace, looked at the dancing flames with his old eyes, and said almost raving, "I used to have a country that I needed to devote my life to, you don't need it, your motherland Strong enough and stable enough, there is no shortage of young people like you who don't look too smart.

The country I was loyal to has fallen apart. In order for more people who loyal to that country like me to survive, I must sacrifice my family. You don't have to. These things will probably never happen to you.

Me, and many more like me, our lives have been ruined long ago.You are different, your life is just beginning.You'd be a great historian, and you wouldn't have to do tasks like us, whether you want to or not, that don't have a lot of good memories.

For us, Victor, when we learned the skills that I taught you, it was just so we could come back alive.How about you?I guess it's just out of interest?
What boy doesn't want to be a superhero wearing a tight suit with his underwear on the outside or flying around his head?Which boy doesn't want to be an agent like 007, surrounded by all kinds of beauties every day? "

Wei Ran opened his mouth, and finally nodded silently, which was considered to have approved Gorman's guess.

"So you are just an ordinary person after all, at best an ordinary person with a little special."

Gorman spread his hands, "Perhaps in the process of studying at Hongqi Forest Farm, we will arrange some dangerous assessments for you. But when you graduate from Hongqi Forest Farm, you will always return to your original life. You don't need to Work hard for Hongqi Forest Farm, Hongqi Forest Farm does not lack young people like you to work for it."

Speaking of which, Gorman stood up leaning on the edge of the fireplace, staggered to the table, picked up the wine bottle and enamel cup, filled them up for Wei Ran, handed them over, and asked with a smile, "Think in another direction, If that little girl named Aurora was a KGB, would you be with her?"

"In China, you can get 50 yuan for reporting a spy, which is enough to buy a house in a small city." Wei Ran said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and then touched Gorman with a cup.

"It sounds like I'm tempted to report you"

Gorman also made a joke, "It seems that you have figured it out, so Mr. Victor, the historian, can you help me cook those two dishes now? I want to taste the taste and see if it is Uma I like the taste."

After glancing at the snow-covered water still floating in the bucket, Wei Ran changed into a comfortable position, crossed his legs and said, "It will take some time until the water boils."

"Then wait a little longer"

Gorman sat on the blanket opposite Wei Ran again, changed the subject and asked, "Victor, how does your girlfriend plan to cooperate with my son Makar?"

"She is going to take Makar to slaughter the fat sheep together"

Wei Ran, who had put down his burden, shook his head dumbfoundingly, and told Gorman of Suisui's crazy plan without reservation.

"Is there anything I need to do?" Gorman asked after listening.

"At least you don't need to kill Makar's neighbor." Wei Ran reminded the other party in a joking way.

Gorman looked at the small rock that had been clutched in his hand, and shook his head bitterly, "I can't help him."

"That money has helped Makar a lot"

Wei Ran picked up the cup and touched the other party, "We will go to his place often in the future, don't worry old guy, their lives will definitely improve."

"Thank you," Gorman said vaguely.

"I have to thank you too." Wei Ran got up with a smile, "Okay, it's time for us to prepare those rabbits for dinner."

"Could you make more? We brought good wine"

There was an abrupt question mixed in the wind and snow from outside the wooden door nailed with animal skins, and Gorman also quickly dropped the cup in his hand, and took out a pistol in his hand, but then, he again Returned the pistol to the armpit holster.

At the same time, Wei Ran, who was subconsciously hiding in the corner, also heard the voice of the people outside the door. He walked to the door angrily, opened the locked wooden door, and looked at Karp, Daria and Anna standing outside the door. The three teachers asked helplessly, "How long have you been here?"

"It started with that old guy Gorman saying thank you to you." Teacher Anna said with a smile, and pulled Wei Ranpa aside, and walked into the warm wooden house with two bottles of frozen red wine.

"Get out of the way"

While Dalia was talking, she also squeezed in with a paper bag full of food, and Karp pointed to a small sledge dragged behind him, and said like calling the waiter, "Take the gift we brought Let's all move in, I bought some Huaxia tea, I can try it later."

"Why are you all here?" Gorman asked as Anna pulled him up.

"This hunter's lodge is not your property, why can't we come?"

As Daria said, she put the paper bag in her arms on the table, then picked up the charging tablet and asked, "Gorman, let's see what that little guy Makar looks like now." gone."

"You all know?" Gorman asked with a headache.

"We also know that the little guy outside the door already has a girlfriend." Anna said with a look of regret, "I thought he would be with the front desk of the studio, that girl named Olia has always been interested in Vivian. Kedo has a good impression."

"That's not a good feeling"

Karp gloated and joked, "She just knows better about the stupid things Victor and Jima did in Ulyanovsk."

"What stupid thing did they do?" Gorman took the tablet, found a group photo of the Makar family and returned it to Teacher Dalia, taking advantage of the opportunity to bring the topic to Wei Ran.

"That stupid thing starts with Mr. Gorbachev in the forest farm"

Karp looked gloatingly, holding a pile of food and drink, and stood at the door unwilling to come in Wei Ran, "Or how about we let Victor talk about it himself?"

"I still have photos from that time on my phone"

Dalia, who was looking through the photos with Teacher Anna, said without raising her head, and handed her mobile phone to Gorman, "How did Makar become so ugly? I remember when he was young Obviously cute."

"How about you talk first?"

Wei Ran asked with a bitter face, "I suddenly remembered that there seems to be a flight back to Huaxia today, maybe I can catch up if I hurry up."

"With such heavy snow, even Aeroflot has grounded its flights"

Gorman pointed to the fireplace not far away, "Come in and close the door, and quickly cook those rabbits into dishes, remembering to make the poisonous taste that Makar said."

"Forget about poisoning you old guys"

Wei Ran secretly made up his mind that he must put all the peppercorns prepared by Gorman in later, so that these old bastards could understand what it would be like to offend the cook.
