Far away in Moscow

Chapter 77
Sister Sun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to you, I brought them a good meal in the evening, and everyone's mood will be higher. The group meals these days are really not decent."

"Don't worry, I will improve it for you at night." Hu Yi smiled and said, "It's rare to come to Moscow, so you can go shopping too. I'll walk slowly along the street, and if you need anything, please call me. "

"Okay." Sister Sun looked at the scattered tourists and said, "Go wait for them under the statue, and I will follow behind."

Hu Yi agreed, and walked along the street unhurriedly.Today's group itinerary is coming to an end. To sum it up, he feels that it is going well and he is quite satisfied with his performance, especially the dinner arrangement, which can not only allow everyone to have a good meal, but also allow Huang Hai to pick up a few tables of guests. It was a joy for everyone to be able to visit Old Wei and the others by the way.

In a blink of an eye, seeing the middle-aged professor and the Northeast sister arguing about something at a small stall on the side of the road, Hu Yi remembered the active performance of the two along the way, and couldn't help smiling: These two people are a man and a woman, one high and one high. Short, one fat and one thin, one big and bold, one nagging, serious and old-fashioned, they are just a pair of live treasures, two extremes, but they also add a lot of fun to this day.

Today's scenes were flashing through my mind, and before I knew it, I had come to the statue next to Pushkin's former residence.Hu Yi deliberately walked forward for tens of meters to make sure that no tourists in the group passed by, and then came back to light a cigarette, took a puff comfortably, raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the statue carefully.

He had seen this statue twice before, but he only glanced at it in a hurry. The impression was that the Pushkins and his wife participated in the formal dress ceremony together, but after a closer look today, he found that the two hands were not in the same place. Together, it seems to be secretly alluding to their unhappy marriage.

"It turns out that this statue hides tricks." Hu Yi muttered, walked around the statue a few times, patted Pushkin's cold knee with a sympathetic smile, felt a little tired, and sat lazily under the statue Rest on the base.

After sitting for a long time, the tourists in the group came to the meeting point one after another, standing in front of the statue, laughing and taking pictures and chatting.Sister Sun walked at the back, saw Hu Yi and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Hu Yi was startled: "No, I've been counting, it's two short."

Sister Sun checked the tourist roster, and there were still two people missing: "Hey, where are the old couple from Texas?"

Hu Yi immediately thought of the old couple with a Northwest Shandong accent, and hurriedly looked around: "Yeah, I haven't seen the two of them."

"Isn't it overdone?"

"Impossible." Hu Yi shook his head resolutely: "I walk fast, so I must be ahead of them."

"I didn't see it along the way, maybe I went into a store." Sister Sun stared at the direction they came from: "Let's wait a little longer."

After 10 minutes passed, Hu Yi waited a little anxiously, standing next to the statue and smoking one cigarette after another, standing on tiptoe from time to time to look into the distance.

Twenty minutes later, the guests in the group stopped chatting and anxiously searched for the old couple in the surrounding crowd.

Sister Sun began to worry: "Oh, they can't find a place, can they?"

Hu Yi also became nervous: "Why don't I go find it."

"I'll go too." Sister Sun said worriedly, "Don't expect any accidents."

Hu Yi hesitated and said: "I'll go by myself, you are optimistic about other people here."

Sister Sun looked at him and then at the others, apparently also hesitating.The middle-aged professor volunteered and said: "Xiao Sun, you stay with everyone, and I will go with Xiao Hu."

Hu Yi was very embarrassed: "Don't, don't, if you get lost again, I really don't know what to do."

"No! I will follow you closely and never leave!" The professor said seriously, "An extra person means an extra pair of eyes, not to mention that I wear glasses and have very good eyesight."

The three of them were undecided, and the Northeast sister stood up, patted her chest: "All three of you are going! Xiao Sun, don't worry, these people are left to me! I promise to show you everything properly, and none of them will be missing!"

"Okay!" Sister Sun didn't bother to say anything more, and hurried down behind Hu Yihe Professor.

The three of them worked together and searched while walking. Hu Yi was in charge of searching the pedestrians on the road. Sister Sun and the professor went to inspect the shops on both sides of the road respectively.

Sister Sun looked frustrated, and kept mumbling: "It's over, it's over, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing!"

Hu Yi was so anxious that he glanced at Sister Sun with dissatisfaction: "Why do you still think about whether you are ashamed or not at this time? You have to find a way to find them first!"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Sister Sun said urgently, "I meant to lose the guests!"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's look for it later." Hu Yi comforted Sister Sun, but he was also confused, so he could only continue walking along the road aimlessly, and the other two followed closely behind him.

Sister Sun kept silent with a mournful face, and the professor murmured to himself: "It's strange, it's so strange. Although I'm not familiar with the place here, and I can't communicate with other foreigners, the two old people should have quite rich social experience, and their minds are very good. They are also very sober, and there is no obstacle in cognitive ability, how could they get lost for no reason? This does not conform to conventional logic, and there must be some special reason."

Hu Yi was distracted by his nagging, and walked faster and faster.Crossing the road in front of me, I saw the entrance of a subway station head-on, which looked familiar.He paused for a moment, remembering that this was the subway station where the police sent him back to Maji after he was attacked by skinheads in the subway last year.

Thinking of that past, Hu Yi couldn't help but shudder.He stared blankly at the downward subway entrance for a while, then raised his head to identify the direction, and said to Sister Sun and the professor: "You are waiting for me here! Don't move around!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away. just run.

"Hey! Wait!" The two of them were stunned, and the professor sternly said, "I'll go with him! Xiao Sun, you wait here!"

"Don't go!" Sister Sun hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab him, but the professor had already jumped several meters away with two long legs.She stomped her feet anxiously, so she had no choice but to put on her backpack and chase after him.

Hu Yi ran to the police station where he was taken in one breath. A short and stout policewoman was smoking leisurely outside the door. When she looked up and saw a Chinese rushing towards her in a panic, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Is it? What's the matter?"

"Hello! Me, me," Hu Yi adjusted his breathing: "Is there any violence near Arbat?"

"Now? No." The policewoman gave him a suspicious look, and added, "Not even today."
