Young Special Forces 1: Cadet Team

Chapter 2 Snow in the Town
Major Shu Lan raised her right hand and knocked on the table. Everyone looked at her, and she said: "We have met each of you, and I selected each of you. Then I will introduce myself first, so that we can get to know each other again. My name is Shu Lan is a female soldier trained by the 'Hunter Troop'. My current position is the director and tactical instructor of the 'Student Team'. I will be the host of this meeting. Next, we invite Li Yifu, the director of the training department The lieutenant colonel delivered the order."

We quietly focused our attention on Director Li.

—— "Strange Special Training"

I was given a magnified vacation, and it was such a long vacation that I don't know when it will end.In the eyes of teammates, this is such a long vacation that is not easy to get.But I can't be happy, I really can't be happy, but I can't ask to give up this big holiday. This is a big fake of a hard order, and I must implement it.why?Because my head is "sick".The "disease" of my head is very strange, it is very easy to forget important things but it doesn't hurt or itch.And it is also possible that I will leave the TX army because of this "disease".I don't know how to tell grandpa when I get home.Come on, let me tell it bit by bit, straight up, from the day I got home...

I got off the green leather train at the border town station in the east of the northeast, and I entered a world full of snow... In fact, it is not accurate to say this, but it should be said that when I entered the territory of the northeast on the plane, I had already entered Snow White's world is gone.

At that time, I was in an inexplicable excitement.This feeling of excitement didn’t stop until I got on the green leather train and arrived at the city where I used to live after seven hours, and then reversed the train and passed for more than four hours to this small town.I'm going home to meet my dear grandpa soon.

I put on my backpack and followed a dozen passengers out of the small station called Songjianghe. I stood on the street of this small town and looked at this small town that was still completely unfamiliar to me.I tightened the cap on my head, took a big breath of fresh air in the very cold air, and then exhaled the air that was cold directly into my lungs.I feel that this is completely the winter air in the Northeast.

I looked at the small town completely covered in snow and thought, where is home in this small town?This is a real problem, because I got off the plane in Changchun, the provincial capital of Jilin Province, and bought the Li-Ning down jacket I am wearing now in a store at the airport.That's when I realized I'd lost the address my grandfather left me, and I only remembered the name of this town...

I stood on the side of the street hesitating, not knowing which direction to go.In fact, the direction of the town is not complicated. There is a straight street outside the station. The buildings along the street are not high, and most of them are two or three-story buildings.The time at that time was 3:40 pm.

The sky above my head is still blue, without even a single white cloud, it is so clean that it makes people feel heartache... Where is my grandpa's home?

I thought of the spider, the original spider hoped to see grandpa with me... Alas!But the spider suddenly has a new mission... and goes to perform that mission with the Octopus... Maybe the spider remembers my grandpa's address.Yes, call and ask, if the spider laughs because of this, I will let her laugh enough.well!

I called the spider's phone, ready to hear the spider's laughter first.But the phone didn't connect, it was turned off.I think, the spider is performing a task.I feel cold.I am a native of the Northeast, a native of the Northeast, but I have been away from the environment of the Northeast for a long time, and I can't resist the cold of the Northeast.

I thought, I've got to act, and I'm on my own.find it.

Those in front of me had already gotten into a tiny white car and gone.There is also a white miniature car parked on the side of the street, which is not full of passengers.The driver saw me through the open window. In fact, the driver had already looked at me several times. When he saw that I was about to make a move, he yelled at me: "Get in the car, get in the car!"

I didn't say anything, I just walked forward.

The driver shouted again: "Hey, where are you going?"

I said, "I don't know!"

The driver was obviously stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and scratched his forehead, and shouted: "You idiot, are you kidding me? Be careful I will cut you."

The driver looked at me and seemed to be waiting for me.

I just laughed.My intimacy with the men in my hometown was immediately reversed.

I said, "Then where are you going?"

The driver said: "Nonsense, I will take you wherever you go."

I said, "Come on. You go, I really don't know where I'm going."

The driver said: "Are you a donkey friend? You can go to Changbai Mountain. Our place is the only way to go to the south slope of Changbai Mountain. Get in the car, and I will take you there for 30 yuan, which is better than rubbing your feet."

I waved my hand at the driver to say no.I walked down the street.

The driver yelled, as if to the occupants of the car: "I ran into a fool."

The driver yelled again: "Hey, boy, listen to me, you keep walking, and you will enter the central area in 20 minutes. There is a small hotel there for 15 yuan a night, and the conditions are better than here."

I turned and said thank you.I said again: "I'm going home, but I lost my address and can't find my home. I will look for it slowly."

The driver laughed and said, "Look, I'm right, this is a fool. They are all social talents educated by Chinese-style education, and how much parents' money was wasted. I am speechless, let's sit down and go , You kid, take your time looking for it."

The white miniature car drove past me, and the snow drifted away behind the car.

I laughed again, but at myself.

I walked along the street, looking at the buildings along the street.I hope to suddenly see my grandpa, or to see the neighborhood where the residents live.Ask slowly, I believe you can find a home.well!I thought again, why doesn’t Po Grandpa just use the phone?My grandpa has a mobile phone, but there is no SIM card in the phone!My grandfather used the mobile phone to play the games in it, which was told to me by Shunfeng Rabbit.

After about 15 minutes, I saw the central area of ​​the town, and I came to the edge of the central area of ​​the town.The street in front has also gone horizontally.From the direction I came from, it seems that the central area of ​​this town is composed of a square building group, and the buildings are mostly seven stories.I stopped and stood at the first intersection, I didn't know where I was going.

I know the fact that even though it is a small town in front of me, even a special soldier like me is helpless without knowing the address.

When I was hesitating, a small white car creaked and stopped beside me.I looked over and saw the driver's face emerging from the window, the same driver just now.He shouted: "Do you think I owe you? I'll leave as soon as I leave, but I can't, I feel bad. My mother saw the old lady falling on the TV. Passers-by were afraid that no one would dare to be raped by the old lady." Rescue also taught me not to care about those things, it is right to help people. But, I think, we drivers, those who encounter difficulties outside, we must dare to help others, otherwise this society will really end, there is no hope Now, there are still a lot of good people in the world, which is consistent with what my mother taught me, right? I thought, I have to help a college student who can’t find a home. It’s getting dark, you say you’re such a fool How about wandering around? Come on, get in the car! I will help you find your home slowly, and I will definitely help you find your home. If you really can’t find your home, I will send you to the police station to trouble the police. Do you know? It’s not time to trouble the police yet Why? The police will ask you for the fare and labor money after you find your home, and ask you to write a thank you letter...Your kid is a college student. There are so many things like this above, I don’t know if it’s true or not, I think it’s true. Anyway, I don’t want to bother the police in my heart. What’s wrong? What do you think I’m doing? Wasting my saliva, Get in the car!"

The driver stopped treating me as a donkey friend, and regarded me as a college student, and a stupid college student at that.It was fun, and I was cold, so it was good to get in the car and warm up.I pulled the backpack over and hugged it in my arms, opened the door and sat on the co-pilot's seat.

I said to the driver: "Thank you, little brother." Because I think the driver is not a few years older than me.

The driver tilted his head and looked at me and said, "You little one is frozen into wild duck eggs. Don't worry, let's think about it slowly. This small town has changed a little bit too fast. Why? What? This place has been upgraded and will soon become a county-level urban area. Old streets, old houses, and vegetable fields have all been stripped away. Maybe you haven’t been back for several years. But you shouldn’t forget everything, right? Do you remember where you peed and fought when you were young? Do you remember where you and your little girlfriend ran the small road? Tell me, I was born and raised here, and I’ll know if you tell me.”

I shivered a few times, watching the driver shake his head.Because of my curiosity, I felt from the driver's words that he had a good mother who knows the general situation, and my mother is a pity to me, so I asked: "What does your mother do? She knows the general situation."

The driver said: "My mother is a vegetable seller in the market, and she is never short of money. Hey, why are you talking about her? Tell me what you think of."

I've never been to this town, so I can't speak of it.In fact, I thought about it too. I thought that if I found the police station or the neighborhood committee, I would be able to find my home.It's just that I have been hesitating, because that would make them know my identity.I just shook my head at the driver.

I said, "I'm here for the first time, you know? That's why I can't find a home."

The driver froze for a moment, looked at me, and suddenly shivered and said, "You can't be a fugitive, are you? This is the border between China and North Korea. My god, my luck is really good! You smell like a fugitive .Let me tell you that I am not afraid of you. I earned more than 100 yuan after pulling people back and forth for a day. I can give it to you. Okay?"

The driver stared at me intently.

I just laughed.

I said, "I'm not a fugitive, I'm just someone who hasn't been home for three years. I..."

I suddenly remembered that Shunfeng Rabbit, Flying Eagle and Waterfowl came here to find my grandfather and found him by the river.

I said, "Is there a river here?"

The driver shivered again, looked at me and said, "I don't want to go to the riverside. My car is broken, and it's worth 6000 yuan with the license plate. I'll take you off. You tell me to get off the car. All right, buddy. I will definitely call the police three hours after you leave, and it will be dark by then. The police are not 007, and it is impossible to catch you when it is dark. I mean what I say, or I will fight you."

I can't help but laugh, and I really have a pleasure of being regarded as a bad guy.

I said: "I remember my grandpa likes to fish by the river, you can take me to the river to find it. I can pay your double fare. Really, I am not a bad person. Besides, I will definitely not be able to beat you, you are afraid What am I doing? You are helping me, if you can't find my grandfather by the river, you can take me to the police station. OK?"

Maybe it was my "OK" that worked. The driver also said "OK" after looking at my figure.

I sat down and said thank you little brother again.

The driver said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, maybe I'm on my way to hell. I can see that although you have a dry figure, you must have practiced martial arts. Come on, I will believe you once, hurry up I'm really desperate, even if I can't do it, you can still throw your snot in your face. You better remember it for me. What kind of shit is this, it's a ghost."

The driver grumbled and started the car, turned around and drove away.

After a while, the miniature car ran out of the urban area and entered the snow field.I looked at the snow scene outside the car window and stopped talking.And I found that the driver was not idle, secretly looking at me while driving.

I said, "Little brother, this is the wild, so please drive carefully."

The driver said, "Don't worry, I can drive this broken road with my eyes closed."

I laughed again, I like this driver.But I was also worried that my grandfather would not be found by the river, so I would have to ask the police for help.

The driver said: "Look ahead, you can see it. That white snowy road is a river, let's call it Manjiang. In summer and autumn, there are fishers and fishers. It's winter now, just an old monster Fishing every day, that old monster is so old that his head is full of white hair. He could be your grandfather. I don’t see anyone who likes to talk to him, and I don’t see anyone who likes to talk to him. Come on, you can go down here and go down to the river. Let's look for it. Let me tell you, if you cross the river and go to the woods on the other side, I will call the police immediately, and our armed border police will bring several big military dogs to chase you. You can't run away. If You listen to me, I will take you to surrender, and I can prove to you that you are the one who surrendered, voluntarily surrendered, okay?"

The driver still regarded me as a fugitive, and I couldn't help but smile.Also, that old white-haired monster he was talking about must be my grandpa.

The miniature car stopped, and the driver stared at me intently, holding a hammer in his right hand at some point.

I smiled and looked at the driver.

I said, "Can you wait for me for a while?"

The driver stared at me, weighed the hammer in his hand, and said, "I'll wait for you for half an hour, just half an hour, and even a minute later. I don't want to ask the border armed police to go to the trouble of arresting you. It's a waste of time." national resources."

I said, "Okay, please help me look at the backpack."

I opened the car door and went out and turned around and put my backpack on the passenger seat. When I wanted to leave, the driver suddenly said: "Are you really not a fugitive? That's weird. I have never seen anyone who can't find their home. Are you Want to commit suicide in this beautiful nature? That's good, you are a cold corpse, have you ever seen a wild dog that freezes to death?"

I just laughed.

I waved my hand and made a waiting gesture unique to special forces, and I stepped into the snow with a few steps.My God, the snow in the woods by the side of the road is 50 cm deep.

The driver shouted: "Be careful, I'm watching you! I can't save a suicide. I can't swim in an ice hole. I'll be a witness."

I walked towards the river bank step by step.I came to the bank of the river against the cold wind, and I looked downstream.In a misty area, a group of red dots stayed there motionless, especially eye-catching in the snowy environment.I knew that was my grandpa.

I turned my head and gestured to the driver to find the target, and I ran towards the foggy area.When I got closer, I could see clearly that the foggy area was a section of the river that was not frozen in ice. The river water was dark black, and the fog was just the gas floating out of the river water.That point of red, that is, a person sitting by the water, is fishing.That is my grandpa.

I was very excited and ran over quickly, but when I was more than ten meters away from my grandfather, a hand in black gloves with my back to my grandfather waved at me and made a gesture of individual movement.

I knew that grandpa noticed someone was coming, so I stopped.

At that time, the wind from the river was blowing in front of me, bringing fine powder of snow and blowing it all over my body and face.When I squinted my eyes and lowered my head, I heard my grandpa shout: "Where is the stinky fish?"

I looked up and saw that my grandfather had stood up, the fishing rod in his hand was bent, and a black-backed fish more than 40 centimeters long was swinging in the air.

I shouted: "I caught it, this fish is okay."

I saw my grandpa was stunned for a moment, then turned his head around, seeing that it was me, my grandpa was stunned again, but immediately said: "You are back?"

It just occurred to me that my grandpa didn't expect that I would come back.

I said, "Yes, Grandpa, I'm back."

My grandpa grinned his snow-covered mouth, smiled, and said, "It's good, I'm going home to eat fish."

I watched my grandpa pack up his things and get up to take me away. I didn't expect to help grandpa pack up those fishing tools, so I smiled patronizingly.Really, my grandpa's outfit is so funny, he has yellow bottoms, red tops, and a yellow windbreaker on his head.Old monster, I thought of what Shunfeng Rabbit and the others said about my grandfather.

I said, "Grandpa, I brought a car, this way."

I just took the things in Grandpa's hand and reached out to try to support Grandpa.Grandpa raised his hand to block mine, and strode ahead.I followed quickly.

I said, "Grandpa, I lost my address, and it was hard to find the one by the river."

Grandpa said: "It's my fault that I moved again. You came back to our house once, and it was the one-story house. Unfortunately, it was demolished. This time the new home is a building. Our family lives in a two-bedroom house, not far from the original one-story house. .how can you not find it?"

I froze for a moment, I thought why I don't remember going back to this small town at all?But I didn't ask grandpa when I came back again, I think grandpa can't be wrong.And after I came back from the island last time, my memory is far worse than before. I have seen a doctor, and the military doctor can't solve my memory loss problem.I also have this long vacation because of this.I didn't want to talk about this with grandpa, so I ran to the front of grandpa and followed the footprints when I came in the snow.

My grandfather said: "You came back with that major named Chen Junsheng before you went abroad. Hey, is that guy still your superior?"

I don't remember what my grandfather said, but I pretended to remember and said, "Yeah, Lao Chen is still a good guy now. But I heard that he is about to leave the TX army to take up a high position. Now the agent of the TX army The captain is Lieutenant Colonel Malone."

My grandpa said, "I know that Malone, I heard your mates say he's a 'watermelon'. Hey!"

Grandpa laughed after finishing speaking. In my opinion, grandpa is like a naughty child.

My grandpa and I arrived at the miniature car. The driver did not sit in the car, but stood in the snow and watched me and grandpa coming from a distance.There was still some distance away from him, so he shouted: "My god, that old monster is your grandpa! My god, I really believe that every grandfather has a grandson."

My grandpa and I walked up to the miniature car. The driver opened the door to invite grandpa in, but he said: "Old man, this kid is really your grandson? You have to beat him with a stick, hard. How can you find him?" A poor grandson at home? It’s better not to have such a poor grandson. Besides, old man, you have to change clothes with your grandson, so you can wear black. You dress so brightly, do you know that people call you an old monster? If this kid wants to say that his grandfather is you, an old monster, I can take him to find you in one go..."

My grandfather knocked a chestnut on the driver's forehead.

My grandfather also asked: "It doesn't hurt, does it?"

The driver said "Ouch", stepped back, rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, can't I stop talking? Cutting me off is considered a New Year's gift from your old man. Get in the car, boy I hurried home and told my mother about the old monster's grandson who couldn't find his own home."

I laughed again.I laugh because I feel like my grandpa is well known in the town.

Under the guidance of my grandpa, 20 minutes later, the miniature car stopped downstairs of my grandpa's house.After my grandfather and I got out of the car, I gave the driver 100 yuan as the fare, and the driver accepted it without being polite.

The driver grumbled: "The old monster's hand is so strong that it still hurts my forehead. If I get a concussion, I will sue you. Anyway, I remember your family."

I laughed again.

The driver rolled his eyes at me and said, "I highly suspect that you are a mental patient who escaped from a mental hospital in a big city. Come on, that's none of my business. You close the door and I'm leaving."

I closed the door of the tiny car, and the driver reversed and drove off.My grandfather pointed to a window on the first floor and said, "Our new home."

I put on my backpack, Grandpa got his fishing tackle, and we headed home.

This home is an 83-square-meter house with only two bedrooms.Grandpa said, this is a main house, which is a north-south house.Grandpa also said that he likes the first floor because the developer gave him a small courtyard of 30 square meters.In summer, grandpa said that he grew cabbage and radishes, as well as peppers and eggplants in the small yard.Some beans were planted on the fences on the three sides of the small courtyard. Grandpa asked me if I knew what a beans were.Of course I know the jiaojiao, which is the Northeast fried bean that is not often eaten in the army.

Grandpa was not idle when he said these words, but he was talking while washing fish in the kitchen, while I was sitting at the dining table watching grandpa and listening to him.Grandpa said again, tonight's dinner is a fish, which is the guy who caught it just now.This guy weighs 3 catties, so it must be enough to eat.Xiao Yuer, you can make it vigorously.When you were a child, you were a little villain who couldn't eat and was picky eater.Now I know, I heard from Shunfeng Rabbit and the three of them that you ate everything except chocolate.This is good.

My eyes are a little wet. How long has it been since my grandpa and I talked?Since my grandfather and I entered the house, my grandfather has not stopped talking, and he always talks about things about me when I was a child, and I have no memory of some things.But I know that my grandpa lived a lonely life.

When my grandpa and I sat down to eat, I asked my grandpa something I wanted to ask a long time ago.

I said, "Grandpa, why do people here call you an old monster?"

Grandpa looked at me, his eyes were not dazzled, but still sharp.

Grandpa said: "This matter, this matter is my fault. I don't like to talk to the old people here. If there is no common word, then I have to choose to be silent. I dress like this again. They don't like it, so they call me an old monster. Yes. Hey! I like it when they call me an old monster."

Grandpa laughed, and I laughed too.

Soon, my grandpa and I finished dinner, and I cleaned up the table and washed the dishes.I watched my grandpa watching the news, and remembered the gift I brought to grandpa.I looked in my backpack, but it was gone.I sat down and thought, obviously it was in my backpack, why is it gone?And I can't remember what gift it was.The long-healed wound on the back of my head actually jumped and hurt a bit...

My grandpa said: "Diaoyu Island is a hidden pustule. It is not the best time to treat it now, but Laomei will not give us time to calm down. It is not easy to treat, and requires great wisdom."

I know grandpa's news is over.

I said, "Grandpa, I forgot where I put the gift I brought you, and I forgot what it was."

Grandpa said, "Really? That's normal. You're overjoyed. Are you homesick?"

This was the first time Grandpa asked me if I was homesick.

I nodded.

Grandpa said: "Come on, go to bed. Our family goes to bed early and wakes up early. Tomorrow morning you go fishing with me. You can eat fish vigorously this holiday."

I watched my grandpa get up and go to the room on the south side. After hesitating, I went to the room on the north side.Judging from the layout of the room, I realized that grandpa knew that I was coming back and that I had a long vacation.But I don't remember telling my grandpa when I would be back before I came back.Moreover, my grandfather and I have almost no way to communicate with each other normally. I just send emails to my grandfather regularly, because my grandfather’s mobile phone does not have a SIM card, it is a toy of my grandfather, and my grandfather does not have a fixed phone.Could it be that the north room that grandpa arranged for me to live in every day is waiting for me to come back every day?My head is kind of messed up, like a short circuit.I yawned, undressed, and lay down on the bed.I got up again, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed again.I was still thinking about some things, such as where did the gift I bought for grandpa go, etc., but after a while, my eyelids became heavy and I fell asleep...

I looked at my watch when my grandfather called me up, and it was exactly 5 o'clock in the morning.I look back on my sleep and find it a little strange because it was the best sleep I've had in years.I slept soundly.

Grandpa said, "Didn't you have any dreams?"

I rubbed my eyes and said, "No, right? I don't feel like I'm dreaming."

Grandpa said: "Yes, just now I saw you sleeping like a little pig when you were a child."

I laughed.

Grandpa said: "Stop smirking, go clean up and have breakfast, the poor grandson is home."

When I was eating breakfast, my grandfather talked to me while eating, it was all about my childhood.Some things I vaguely remember, and some things I can't remember.I can smile when I can remember.Then, at 6 o'clock, my grandpa and I took the fishing gear and went out.

It's cold outside, but also refreshing.

Grandpa said, "It will be sunrise in one hour."

I looked up to the sky, but there was no sun in the sky.

Grandpa said: "Run to the top of the mountain now, you can see the sun rise, and you have to wait until 8 o'clock here. The surroundings of our small town are full of mountains, forests, and rivers. Although the temperature is a little colder , but the air is very good. Xiao Yuer, you have to remember, our community is called Homeland Community; our house number is Room 6, Building 112, Homeland Community, easy to remember, the number of the army that my grandfather joined the army was 112 .”

I nodded to show that I remembered, and I also pulled down the hat, because it was not ordinary cold.At that time, my grandfather and I had already walked out of this community with only seven buildings, each of which was a combination of seven-story buildings.There are not many pedestrians on the street, because it is the time when the students are on vacation, and there are no students on the street in the morning, so there are many fewer pedestrians.And the street lights are all off, because the town is covered with snow, and there are stars in the sky. This kind of space is similar to the morning in the daytime, and it feels clear at a glance.

Grandpa said: "Come on, go north."

Walking on the road, Grandpa stopped talking.I don't speak either.I have nothing to say, this is also a professional habit.I feel like a morning march right now.

After 30 minutes, Grandpa took me out of town.Looking around is the snow-colored environment.Of course, there are other colors, such as green, which are green pine trees and cypress trees, and holly trees. These kinds of trees will not lose their original colors in winter. Their green color combined with snow color is the winter in Northeast China. s color.Walking into the wild snow field, the snow is very deep, I can't walk very quickly, far worse than my grandfather.I was anxious to catch up with my grandpa who had fallen behind me, so I sped up my action.I started to trot, but suddenly my outdoor boots sank and were submerged in the snow, and I just jumped forward and fell into the snow.

Grandpa turned to look at me and said, "You are as stupid as a little wild boar. Why, you can't move on the snowy road? If you went to the desert, how can you do like this? The environment may be different, but human Adaptability is due to the change of the environment. People who adapt quickly have a relatively high probability of survival. Again, no matter what kind of environment they are in, they can adapt to the environment in the fastest way. Meet the standard of fighting the enemy alive. Xiao Yuer, you are not strong enough. You should be able to see where the snow is deep and where the snow is shallow on this snow field, and then make your action line. That is big The answers and hints that nature automatically gives you, the important thing is how you discover and use the hints that nature gives you to different environments. If you master this, you can expose the misleading environment to you, and in turn Take advantage of the situation. Ouch! Where are your powers of observation and judgment?"

My face was a little hot, I got up and slapped the snow on my body, I was embarrassed.I always thought that I was already an excellent special soldier, at least in my opinion, I didn't embarrass my grandpa, and I am worthy of grandpa's pride.But... this unlucky snowfield...

Grandpa said, "Let's go! We're almost there."

I became more careful as I walked forward.I observed the snow and found the problem, maybe because of the wind, the snow on the snow is different.For example, a small flat snow field suddenly appears on the snow field, and the snow on it has a hard crust in the sense, then there is a snow pit under the snow field.For example, if it is a little higher than other snow fields, then the ground under the snow will naturally be higher than other ground.If you walk on top of that snow, you won't get stuck suddenly.I think these are actually very simple, as my grandfather said, nature has given people answers and methods to uncover any environment, it depends on how you deal with it.This is a sentence that I interpreted my grandfather's words to make me understand.

The snowy field expanded before my eyes, and there were more dwarf trees on the snowy field, because it was approaching the riverside.The dwarf trees look bare and pitiful on the snowy field in my eyes, while the weeds are even more pitiful, with only the shaking leaf tips exposed in the snow.And I saw that the sudden sunlight appeared on a big hillside in the distance in front of me.The big hillside is covered with snow-white blankets, and when the sun shines on them, the snow blankets fade and expand layer by layer, and the patches of snow are brightened and glaring...as if they were covered by some invisible hand It is indescribably magnificent and beautiful to reveal the original brilliance of the opened curtains.

I was stunned, and I let out a oh...
