When the three of them walked into the house, Tang Feng sneered twice, and asked Liang Yuan, "Okay, miss, just tell me what you have, we are still busy."

"What kind of attitude is this? I ran all the way to you, so I have to rest, and pour me a cup of tea!" Liang Yuan scolded Tang Feng softly.

Tang Feng stood still, he looked at Han Jiang, Han Jiang became interested in Liang Yuan's words, and pouted at Tang Feng angrily, Tang Feng had no choice but to serve Liang Yuan tea reluctantly, and smiled again, " Eldest lady, do you want to give your leg a hammer?"

Liang Yuan gave Tang Feng a blank look, "Well, forget it. Let's get back to business, I really came to help you. More than half a month ago, when I was sorting out my grandfather's belongings in the basement, I found a diary."

"Oh? Diary!" Tang Feng and Han Jiang's eyes widened at the same time. They saw Liang Yuan take out a notebook with a dark red cover from her backpack, and it looked like something old.

Tang Feng stretched out his hand to get the notebook, but Liang Yuan took the notebook back immediately and said, "If you want to read this notebook, you must promise me one thing first."

"You still have conditions? What's the matter?" Tang Feng frowned.

"I want to go with you to find that ancient Xixia city."

"No! We are already annoying enough, so don't make trouble for us." Tang Feng flatly rejected Liang Yuan's request, but when he looked at Liang Yuan, his heart suddenly softened, and he said, "It's very dangerous there. It is more dangerous than everything we have encountered before, and look at our current situation, Old K has disbanded, we are weak now, I am afraid that it will be dangerous if you go."

"You still have a conscience, but it's because you are weak that you need me more. Don't worry, I won't hold you back." Liang Yuan vowed.

"This..." Tang Feng stared at the notebook in Liang Yuan's hand, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

As Tang Feng said, taking advantage of Liang Yuan's dazed moment, he snatched the notebook and eagerly flipped through it. Liang Yuan hurriedly confirmed: "Then let's make a deal, it's a deal."

Unexpectedly, while flipping through the notebook, Tang Feng said, "I don't count what I say, and our old K has always been Han Jiang."

Hearing what Tang Feng said, Liang Yuan was so out of breath, "You... how can you not count your words?"

"I'm doing it for your own good." Tang Feng continued to look through Liang Yunjie's diary without raising his head.

Liang Yuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she rummaged through her backpack, and quickly calmed down again. It was Tang Feng's turn to be restless. Tang Feng hurriedly searched through Liang Yunjie's diary, and he found this diary , is Liang Yunjie's diary from 1974 to 1978, but Tang Feng did not find any valuable information for them. He looked up at Liang Yuan, and Liang Yuan showed a smug smile on her face, "Is it possible that I was caught by this?" Did Xiao Nizi get rid of it?" Tang Feng continued to look through the diary, but still found no useful clues, Tang Feng handed the diary to Han Jiang, and finally couldn't help it, and asked Liang Yuan, "What's in your grandpa's diary? Can't see anything?"

Liang Yuan smiled, "I didn't say what's in the diary? It was you who wanted to snatch the diary as soon as I took it out."

"And what did you discover?"

"I found a letter in this diary of Grandpa's."

"A letter?" Tang Feng and Han Jiang asked in surprise almost at the same time.

Liang Yuan unhurriedly took out the letter and shook it in her hand, "I won't be fooled by you again this time, I don't care who you two call the shots, you have to promise me first, take me to find Han Hai Mi City."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang had no choice but to be harassed by Liang Yuan. Han Jiang wavered first, "Why don't we take Liang Yuan with us, this time we will not have fewer people than before, one more person will give us more strength!"

Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to agree.Only then did Liang Yuan let go, and Tang Feng took the letter. The yellowed envelope looked like a Western envelope, with a few lines of foreign language profusely written on the envelope, and traditional Chinese was attached at the same time. After further identification, he recognized that these eloquent foreign words were in Russian. Before he had time to think about it, Tang Feng quickly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. There are also a few sketches drawn with pens interspersed. When Tang Feng roughly read the letter, he was shocked.

Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng's surprised look, then turned to Liang Yuan, and asked, "What did you say in the letter?"

Liang Yuan shrugged and said: "I don't know Russian, and I don't know the specific content. I just recognized that it was a letter from Misha to my grandfather through the signature on the envelope and in the letter, so I knew it must be It is helpful to you."

"It's really Misha's letter to Liang Yunjie?!" Han Jiang turned to Tang Feng again.

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, and this letter is very important. I roughly read this letter. This letter was written by Misha to Liang Yunjie in the 60s. The letter briefly introduced Misha's scientific research What happened to the team after the accident."

"Oh! This is what we are most interested in." Han Jiang said with excitement.

Tang Feng looked at the letter in his hand again, and then introduced in detail: "This letter can be divided into three parts. In the first part, Misha roughly told Mr. Liang about his situation in these years, and explained why he wrote this letter. , He feels that he still needs to tell everything he knows, otherwise he will feel unwilling, and after much deliberation, he can only tell Mr. Liang."

"It seems that Misha has always had a secret in his heart, a secret that even the KGB doesn't know." Han Jiang murmured.

Just as Tang Feng wanted to continue translating the content of the letter, Han Jiang suddenly interrupted him, "Wait, Tang Feng, what year did you say that this letter was sent?"

"Six...six or so!" Tang Feng didn't understand why Han Jiang asked this suddenly.

"What year is it?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng turned to the end of the letter paper. Misha signed it on December 1964, 12. Tang Feng picked up the envelope and looked at it again. The Russian postmark on the envelope read "Leningrad 12".

"1964?!" Han Jiang and Tang Feng were shocked at the same time, it turned out to be that 1964 again!Han Jiang snatched the envelope from Tang Feng's hand and looked it over several times. Suddenly, Han Jiang called out, "Tang Feng, didn't you notice that there was only the postmark of Leningrad on this envelope, not the postmark of Leningrad?" The postmark of the destination Beijing?"

"Ah—" Tang Feng froze for a moment.

"What does this mean?" Liang Yuan was also a little confused.

"This shows that on December 1964, 12, Misha sent this letter at the post office in Leningrad, but this letter was not sent to Beijing!" Han Jiang said firmly.

"How...how is this possible? Then how did my grandfather receive this letter?" Liang Yuan couldn't believe it.

"Yes! If the letter hadn't reached Beijing, how could Mr. Liang get this letter?" Tang Feng shook his head and asked.

"Tang Feng, have you forgotten? In 1964, Misha was under the strict surveillance and protection of the KGB. Could he have the freedom of communication at that time?" Han Jiang said this, pointing to the top of the seal on the back of the envelope, "Look !Take a look, what is this?"

Tang Feng took the envelope, only then did he notice a rectangular red stamp appeared on the back of the envelope above the seal. Although the stamp had become a bit blurred in the past so many years, Tang Feng still quickly recognized the line of Russian on it— — not permitted.

Tang Feng stared blankly at the dark red stamp, "Not allowed... what does this mean?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

"I don't understand this yet. It means that although Misha sent the letter at the post office, the KGB quickly got it and stamped it with the 'Not Permitted' stamp." Han Jiang explained.

"Then what happened later?" Tang Feng asked.

"What later?" Han Jiang asked back.

"What happened to the letter?"

"Later, the KGB must have confiscated this letter. As for how this letter got into Liang Yunjie's hands again, only God knows!" Han Jiang said, spreading his hands.

"I thought I could help you solve the puzzle, but I didn't expect to bring you another mystery!" Liang Yuan said disappointedly.

"No! Liang Yuan, the letter you brought is very important to us. Leaving aside the content of the letter, the 'no permission' alone has brought us some new clues." Han Jiang seemed to figure it out. Some clues, "From the envelope, there is no postmark in Beijing, which means that your grandfather never got this letter through normal channels. Then, no matter when Mr. Liang got this letter later, we can introduce two possibilities First, Mr. Liang has some kind of connection with Russia that we don’t know about; second, the problem lies within the KGB; according to my analysis, the possibility of the first situation is unlikely, and it is unlikely that Mr. Liang has any connection with Russia. Is there any connection, especially in those days, then, the most likely is the second case, but..."

"But we met this damn 1964 again!" Tang Feng said after taking Han Jiang's words.

"Yes, if it wasn't 1964, we could have found the whereabouts of this letter through the KGB file on Misha obtained by Yelena, so we can also figure out how it ended up in the hands of Mr. Liang." There was a hint of frustration in Han Jiang's words.

"Maybe... maybe grandpa got this letter by accident?" Liang Yuan guessed.

"Accidentally? No, it's almost impossible." Tang Feng shook his head and said.

"We don't know what happened to the KGB in 1964, but we can infer the whereabouts of this letter from Liang Yunjie's situation in China. We already know what happened to Mr. Liang after he returned from the scientific expedition team. , Just imagine, if Mr. Liang got this letter in 1964, would he have smuggled into Hong Kong with this letter?"

"You mean Mr. Liang got this letter later?" Tang Feng immediately understood what Han Jiang meant.

"Well, I think that's the case. As for how Mr. Liang got this letter, we have to find out the lost 1964 first. I think there must be something wrong with it. The problem lies in 1964. I can even speculate that Misha may have written letters to Liang Yunjie, and may have written letters to Makarov. In short, those letters were finally detained by the KGB, and only this letter fell into the hands of Mr. Liang for some reason. .” Han Jiang said.

"Because the content of this letter is very important, let's take a look at the content of the letter. I just said the first part of this letter. The key is the second part. In the second part, Misha recalled to Mr. Liang that the scientific expedition The situation of the team, especially the situation a few days before the accident of the scientific expedition team, is very important to us. Although Misha spoke very briefly, and he said that there are many experiences that he can no longer recall, but we have Yu Chaping The map on the back, together with Misha’s letter, is already very close to the mysterious ancient city of Xixia.” Tang Feng became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Wait, what did you mean 'unable to recall'?" asked very close.

"Oh! This is the third part of the letter. At the end of the letter, Misha raised a series of questions. He wrote it like this..." Tang Feng translated Misha word by word. The last paragraph of the letter.

【Second Misha's route】

……

Liang, I can only recall this place. After the sandstorm, I don’t know where I came. An incomparable gate appeared in front of me. , what happened, I don’t even remember, I can recall what happened later, it was already in the desert, I don’t know how long I walked, I was hungry and tired, I was rescued by a shepherd, they gave me After eating, I became suspicious. That night, I left the herdsman’s yurt without saying goodbye, and started wandering for several months. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Contact, did not dare to go to the police, relying on begging along the way, and finally arrived in Moscow.

……

"It seems that our previous deduction is completely correct. Misha is the one who is closest to the answer." Han Jiang interrupted before Tang Feng finished reading.

"That's right! This record just filled the gap between Misha's accident on the scientific expedition team and his discovery in Moscow. It shows that Misha did find an ancient city in the desert, although he didn't say what kind of ancient city it was. , but I think that must be the vast sea and Micheng that we dream of every day." Tang Feng deduced.

Han Jiang nodded, "That's right, Misha said 'open that incomparable gate', I think this is the gate of Hanhaimi City, but..." Han Jiang hesitated, "But the situation behind the gate, he only He used the phrase 'The scene in front of him seems like a lifetime away', and briefly mentioned it lightly, and then said that he couldn't remember what happened later."

"No, I don't think this is an understatement. The sentence 'The scene in front of me seems like a world away' has already explained everything. The scene of Hanhai Micheng must be difficult for him to describe in words." Tang Feng said.

Liang Yuan suddenly interjected: "I doubt whether Misha really can't remember what happened later, or he didn't find any Hanhaimi city at all. If he really found Hanhaimi city, how could he not remember anything?" gone?"

Liang Yuan's words poured cold water on Tang Feng and Han Jiang, "Yes! We have spent all our efforts, but we haven't found the ancient city of Xixia. Misha found it so easily after the storm. Hanhai Micheng." Han Jiang frowned.

"In the letter, Misha didn't say in detail how he got to 'the incomparable gate', maybe he really can't remember." Tang Feng still insisted on his deduction.

"In short, this record is too strange. Since you want to tell my grandfather what happened back then, why didn't you explain it in detail? Did Misha not remember clearly? Or did he never find Hanhai Micheng at all, and those were just his. Some hallucinations." Liang Yuan said.

"Hallucinations?" Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "Speaking of memory, this letter was written in 1964. It should be no problem to recall things a few years ago. If Misha's memory has problems, then only The explanation is that Misha's brain has suffered some kind of external stimulation."

"Okay, don't guess. I haven't finished reading my letter yet. Misha will talk about fantasy and memory problems later." Tang Feng continued to translate Misha's letter as he spoke...

……

Liang, in retrospect, everything was amazing. I clearly remember that I opened that door, but now I can’t remember the world inside the door. How did I get to that door after the accident of the scientific expedition team? In front of the gate, I can't remember clearly, my mind is blank, only sporadic memories keep flashing in my dream, just... just I can't put those sporadic pieces together, but I'm sure it's not a hallucination, definitely no!

I often think - God!How did I get to that door in the first place, and how did I leave?I deduce that the place where the scientific expedition team had an accident should be not far from the incredible door I found... maybe one day I will be able to recall everything after I sleep, and I will write to you at that time.

I hope to get your reply, and please do not disclose the content of this letter to others.

……

After Tang Feng finished reading the letter, the room fell silent. After a long time, Liang Yuan asked, "It's over?"

"It's over." Tang Feng nodded thoughtfully.

"That's the end..." Liang Yuan felt lost.

"Liang Yuan, besides this letter, what other useful things did you find among your grandfather's belongings?" Han Jiang asked Liang Yuan suddenly.

Liang Yuan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No more, I think this letter is still valuable."

"It seems that Misha has never thought about all that in his life." Han Jiang murmured.

"Maybe he remembered and wrote a letter to Mr. Liang, but was detained by the KGB." Tang Feng speculated.

"It's unlikely. If Misha recalled it later, wouldn't Tymoshen know about it?" Han Jiang asked back.

"Well, Tymoshen?" Tang Feng thought for a while, "It seems that Misha probably didn't remember it later, but Misha definitely said that the place where the scientific expedition team disappeared is the same as the incomparable door he found. The gates are very close and that might help us."
