On the afternoon of the day they arrived at the island, many young people who had eaten, drank, and had enough fun moved into the row not far from the river under the careful arrangements of Olga's mother, Aunt Yana.

In a cabin open to the public.

Due to the relationship between latitude and climate, even though it is only early September, after the sun sets, the temperature is definitely not high.

Because of this, the crackling fireplaces that lull people to sleep were lit early in these wooden houses. Of course, at least for the girl Suisui, even without the white noise and warm temperature of the burning fireplace, the three

A large cup of draft beer and a small cup of Aunt Yana's home-brewed fruit wine were enough for her to sleep soundly like she was unconscious.

On the other hand, Wei Ran slept in the same bed as her. Although he drank a large bottle of vodka with Jima and old Ivan, he still had insomnia.

In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, Ivan banged the stainless steel milk pot early to wake up many young people who were still sleeping soundly.

As he walked out of the room sleepily, Wei Ran, who was yawning, and Suisui, who was dragged up in a daze, both shivered.

At this time, the sky outside the wooden house was not yet bright. Not to mention the sun, even the distant horizon was just getting a little brighter.

Picking up their mobile phones and looking at the time, Wei Ran and Suisui couldn't help but grin. It was not even five o'clock yet. This was a credit to everyone who went to bed early yesterday after drinking for a long time. Otherwise, they would not even be able to sleep.

I'm afraid it's difficult to get eight hours of sleep.

"What's wrong? Are the Germans calling again?" Maya, who slept in the same room as Sui Xin, opened the door in a daze and asked.

"You sound more like a historian than Victor," Mrs. Yana praised with a smile, and then pointed to the insulated lunch boxes and several large thermoses on the long table outside the room.

He said, "Everyone, please wash your face and wake up. We are going to leave soon."

"Departure? Where to go?" Jima, who also lived in a room by himself, asked with a yawn.

"Of course I'll put you in an oil drum before dawn" "Then throw you into the deepest part of Lake Ladoga"

Olena, who didn't know when she had gotten up, helped her sister to add a sentence, and at the same time let Dalia help her take off the apron she was wearing.

Seeing that these people obviously wanted to keep it a secret, everyone simply stopped wasting time and brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and put on thick, warm clothes as quickly as possible.

When they, led by Olena and carrying the insulated lunch boxes prepared by Mrs. Yana for everyone, walked to the small pier diagonally opposite the wooden house, with the roar of the engine, Ivan alone moved his precious patrol boat from the small pier.

The pier on the south side of the island drove over and stopped firmly at the berth.

This time, Ivan was rare and did not send Wei Ran and Jima. Instead, he personally drove this fishing boat converted from a patrol boat all the way north along the Neva River, carrying many young people to Lake Ladoga.

direction.

After less than half an hour of sailing, a small island appeared directly in front of the channel. At the same time, Suisui pointed at the looming buildings on the island and asked loudly amidst the noise of the engine, "What about that?"

Is it Little Walnut Fortress?”

"Yes!" Olena replied loudly, "The walnuts that Peter the Great took back from the Swedes! But we won't go shopping up there until we come back!"

"I haven't been there yet!" Suisui responded expectantly. Amidst the conversation between the two girls, this slightly noisy fishing boat also came from the side of Shlisselburg that they had just talked about.

Officially entered Lake Ladoli.

"That direction"

While the patrol boat left Shlišeli Fort behind, Teacher Dalia raised her finger and pointed in the north direction, and asked Wei Ran, "There is a small port about 20 kilometers away in a straight line, called Osinowitz.

,have you heard of it?"

Seeing the girls represented by Suisui and Ji Ma, the uneducated bastard, all looking at him, Wei Ran nodded and sighed. Although it was his first time here, as a historian,

How could he not know about that slightly remote port?

"Know"

Weiran paused for a moment and then continued, "Ossie

The port of Novitz, the end of the road of life on Lake Ladoga, is also the end of the road of life. Thanks to her, Leningrad, which was besieged for 872 days, crawled out of hell."

"When I get back, I'll take you there to have a look." Dalia said in a calm tone.

"If possible, why don't you go to Cobona first?" Wei Ran made a rather memorable request.

Hearing this, Dalia nodded with a smile, "Then let's go to Cobona first."

"Where is Kobona?" Jima subconsciously asked Maya next to him, who was also nominally a postgraduate student in war history.

"The other end of the road of life" Suisui almost subconsciously helped Maya give the answer.

Then, the girl explained with a smile, "My father and my mother first met on the cruiser Aurora in Petersburg. After they got married, the first place my father took my mother to was

Osinowitz, the second place is Kobona."

After a pause, Suisui added additionally, "I heard from my father that my grandfather was from Leningrad. He escaped to Kobona by boat from Osinowitz Port with other children at that time.

Then he was adopted and raised."

"Your grandfather was from Petersburg?" Sisters Olga and Olena looked at Suisui in surprise.

"He died young"

Suisui held Wei Ran's arm and said, "My father said that when my grandfather passed away, he had just started working. Of course, he lost his job not long after."

"Because the Soviet Union collapsed" everyone on the deck muttered silently in their hearts.

Amidst the chatter about the two heroic ports, this patrol boat, which was puffing out some black smoke, also drove to the center of Lake Ladoga, and before the rising sun jumped out of the water, it shut down the engine as a gift to everyone who was admiring the sunrise.

Provides a quiet environment.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, orange-red tentatively appeared on the top of the head, easily dyeing the surrounding sparkling lake into a beautiful golden red.

"It's worth getting up early." Lola, who was standing behind her sister, couldn't help but yawned after saying this.

“Really worth it”

While Sui Xin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, spoke, she also opened the insulated lunch box that had been placed on her knees.

Before her departure, her wheelchair had been firmly fixed to the railings of the deck by the Ivans themselves with locks. This not only allowed her to sit firmly enough, but also made her the first to notice that these railings

It actually installed small foldable wooden tables that were half a meter square, and a small wooden bench that was also foldable and almost the same size.

After she lifted up the small table and fixed it with Yana's help, the others also reacted and opened up the small table that could extend outside the railing and the folding bench that could only be unfolded inward and sat down.

I opened the breakfast that Aunt Yana helped prepare with interest.

"These tables, chairs and benches were designed by us," Olena said with a hint of pride, "How do you feel about using them?"

"It must be very comfortable in the summer," Suisui was the first to say. "Although it is very sturdy, I am still a little worried that I will fall off."

As Lola spoke, she helped herself sit on the folding bench, and carefully placed her feet on the metal pedals welded to the railing.

"Don't worry! You will definitely not fall."

Olga said, reaching out from the side of the bench and pulling out a webbing similar to an airplane seat belt, and helped Korava fix his waist.

"What should we do in the winter?" Jima asked subconsciously. "Of course we spend the winter hiding by the warm fireplace." Ivan came out of the cab with an insulated lunch box and said matter-of-factly, "The wind here is very strong in the winter.

People will set sail in that season, and my ships will all be ashore at that time."

"So you only do summer and fall business?"

As Suisui asked, she picked up a corner of bulim biscuit from the open lunch box, dipped it in jam, and immediately stuffed it into her mouth after asking.

"That's why we are planning to buy that horribly expensive house." Ivan took over the topic with a smile.

From what he meant, it was as if the ticket to the house would allow him to recoup the high cost of buying the house.

Of course, considering who tells the truth and who is a dog's "occupational disease", at least Weiran, Jima, and the Katenka sisters who were watching the scenery did not take each other's reasons seriously at all.

Sitting in rows along the deck railing, enjoying the sunrise and finishing breakfast, the fishing boat also headed towards Cobona Port.

In the next day, old Ivan drove his broken fishing boat and took them to the small town of Osinowitz after visiting the port of Kobona, following the path of life on the ice.

I had a good visit to the Life Road Museum in this town.

Finally, after spending half a day at Little Walnut Castle, the group returned to the small island located in the middle of the river along the Neva River before the sun set.

After this day's wandering, not only did it not help Wei Ran strengthen his confidence, but it made him retreat even more. Especially the written and picture records he saw in the Life Road Museum also made him more and more afraid.

The tragic story behind that instrument.

Of course, even if he puts aside these emotions, he will not launch an investigation on this island. After all, the K content on this island is really too high, and he really has no confidence in keeping the metal in front of so many "similar people"

The secret of the book.

On the other hand, Suisui, a layman, was obviously more concerned about this matter than Wei Ran, so shortly after returning, he held Anfiya in one hand and Olga in the other and ran into the exhibition hall, surrounding them.

Looking at the booth that was still unlocked, they tried to find out something in advance through their own strength.

"What are the plans for tomorrow?"

While Suisui and others were still tinkering with the musical instrument, Wei Ran also sat down beside the bonfire that had just been lit, and asked Olena who was carving a bust of Maya with a piece of clay.

"Tomorrow we will go fishing in Lake Ladoga and visit some islands by the way."

Olena changed her posture slightly and replied, "Of course, if you are not interested in fishing, you can also take my fishing boat, go to Lake Onega along the Neva River, and then visit my house. The only disadvantage is that the voyage is long

It’s more than 500 kilometers, and even if we set out in the morning, we will arrive in the afternoon.”

"It's up to you to decide this kind of thing"

Wei Ran paused, then turned to look at old Ivan who was also sitting by the campfire, chatting with Jima, "But I plan to go to the archives in the city tomorrow, so can you send me back?"

"Go to the archives?" Old Ivan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Are you ready to start investigating that musical instrument?"
