Chapter 1070 A hasty meeting and a hasty farewell(2/3)
After some adjustments, the music from the speakers became clearer and clearer, so much so that even Wei Ran, who had finished his beetroot soup and finished his bread slices, could tell that this piece of music happened to be the Leningrad Symphony!
However, the song was already coming to an end at this time. So before Kona could stop pedaling the generator, the sound of drums symbolizing the end came from the speaker.
"If my dad is playing, he's the drummer who plays the last beat."
Kona said subconsciously, and then said in an unusually positive tone, "This is Uncle Shostakovich's...comrade's Symphony No. 7 in C major, right?"
"Can you hear it?" Wei Ran asked in surprise. After hearing this, Ke Na just smiled and then stopped generating electricity.
"Have you found your parents?" After a moment of silence, Wei Ran asked a question he had always wanted to ask.
"No"
Kona sighed, "I have no idea where they work, or even if they are still alive."
"You will definitely find them." Wei Ran and the girl named Ekaterina gave the same blessing in unison.
"Why do you always look at me?" After Yekaterina finished speaking, she looked at Wei Ran and added.
"Nothing," Wei Ran said uncertainly, "I just feel like I've seen you somewhere."
"I'm also from Leningrad. Maybe I've seen him somewhere."
Ekaterina, who had finished eating half a boiled egg, stood up and took off the red signal light hanging on the handle of the airdrop box and hung it around her waist. She said, "I'm going to work. You guys can chat slowly."
.”
"Wait a moment"
Wei Ran called out to the other party, "Let me take a group photo for you. How about you also help take a group photo for me and Ke Na?"
"Where to shoot?" Ekaterina asked very happily.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Wei Ran looked at Ke Na.
"Just go outside the tent."
Kona responded absently, subconsciously picked up the bedside signal lamp and hung it on her waist.
After both girls put on their cotton hats and gloves, Wei Ran went next door on the pretext of getting his camera. He didn't just change the subject. He did have a vague feeling that he had seen the one who was as thin as Ke Na somewhere.
girl.
Temporarily suppressing his doubts, he put on his coat as quickly as possible, took out the Rolleiflex camera from the metal notebook and got out of the tent.
In just a short time, the two girls had already put on their snowboards and put on their cold-proof masks, gloves and goggles. However, their fully-armed outfits also made their faces completely obscured.
Obviously, rather than adapting, it is better to say that the two girls have become accustomed to the work and life style here.
At Wei Ran's suggestion, he took off his mask and goggles. Wei Ran looked at the extremely dim sun on the horizon in the distance. After some hesitation, he used the viewfinder to cover these two thin people, as if a gust of wind could blow them over.
Girls with chilblains on their faces, and tents and tracked bulldozers behind them.
Of course, there are also ice roads further away connected by a series of red traffic lights.
Almost at the same time as he pressed the shutter, a series of tracer bullets pointing to targets in the air suddenly exploded in the sky behind the two girls.
When Wei Yan put down the camera that had only taken one picture and looked over, the denser smoke also dyed the distant sky into a black cloud.
When the two girls turned back subconsciously, they could already hear the unique roar of the plane!
The two girls looked at each other. There was no hesitation, no communication, and no pause. Instead, they each took out a lighter and lit the signal light slung around their waists in unison. Then they didn't even say hello.
While busy putting on their masks and goggles, they stepped on their skis and rushed towards the ice road a few hundred meters away that they had maintained with their lives.
"I hope you can all survive, I hope you can all return to Leningrad without war, I hope..."
Before Wei Ran could finish his words, everything he could see in his field of vision had been replaced by intense white light, but he also knew that it was not over yet. He had not sent the children on the boat yet.
Not to mention the premiere of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7 in C major in Leningrad!
As the white light faded little by little, the roar of engines and the intensive sound of artillery that filled his ears just now also disappeared one after another. Before his vision could recover, he actually heard the singing of the night of the military port and the laughter of children.
Of course, there is also the sound of wind blowing in the face, with a hint of watery smell, and the pleasant tinkling of bells.
Waiting patiently to see everything around him clearly, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile.
At this time, he was sitting in the driver's seat of a fully loaded two-wheeled carriage. Next to him, there was the bayan that belonged to Kona.
On the cart behind him, in addition to a few children he knew or didn't know, headed by Alexander, there was also the baby Galina, who was held in Lahia's arms, and Ah Sitting on Olga's side.
Nastasia and Bogdan.
In front of this car, Keleluo was also driving a two-wheeled cart pulled by a mule. Sitting on that cart were some children he knew or didn't know, such as Andre, as well as those in charge.
Olga and Sasha look after these children.
Wei Ran subconsciously counted the colorful Budyonni hats on the two cars, and Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, among the total 35 children of all sizes, all of the 23 colorful hats were worn. Moreover, these children were obviously a little fatter and had a lot more smiles on their faces.
"Victor, can we see Sister Kena later?"
Alyosha sat down next to Wei Ran and asked, "Is she really waiting for us at the port?"
"You'll know when you get there," Wei Ran responded with a smile.
"We haven't gone to the zoo to watch Uncle Matvey's performance yet," Alexander said with great regret.
"The war is not over yet"
Wei Ran pushed the man's head back, "Don't get too close, or your face will be pressed against the mule's ass."
Amid the laughter of the children, Alexander pushed Alyosha beside him toward the rear of the car, sat down next to Wei Ran and asked hopefully, "If Uncle Matvey can also evacuate with us,
Just go to the rear area, and you, Sister Kena, and Brother Kelailuo, you can always evacuate with us, right?"
"Kena and I are no longer children." Wei Ran answered the other party's expectant question as tactfully as possible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I am not a child anymore," Alexander subconsciously retorted, "We..."
"Don't worry, Alexander!" Kelei Luo, who was in the car in front, turned around and loudly took over the topic, "We will evacuate soon!"
"Really?" the children in the two cars asked in surprise.
"of course it's true!"
The young Keleluo responded confidently, "But it's not today. There are still so many people in the air-raid shelter. We have to send them all away first, but we will definitely be able to meet you soon."
"You swear!" Lai Xia, who was holding the baby, shouted loudly, "Kellero, you have to swear!"
"Yes!" The children on the Kelailuo car echoed in unison.
"I swear"
Keleluo flicked his whip, "I swear we will definitely evacuate, and we will definitely meet on the other side of Lake Ladoga. After the war is over, I will go to the zoo with you to see Uncle Matvey.
As for my performance, you have mentioned it to me several times."
Seeing that the children's attention was diverted to Matvey's animal performance, Wei Ran sighed secretly, silently took out his camera, took a photo of the children beside him, and then looked towards the car in front of him.
The children in the car pressed the shutter.
Not long after walking along this gravel road in the forest, two carriages, led by Kelailuo, stopped at a busy dock.
Far away, Wei Ran saw Kona, who was wearing a uniform of a Soviet female soldier, with short hair that covered one side of her face, a boat cap on her head, and a pair of leather gloves on her hands.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, the children wearing colorful Budyonny hats jumped out of the carriage, cheering and running towards Kona who opened her arms towards them, saying something to each other.
"Sister Ke Na is so popular," Kelailuo said with emotion.
"She's like a mother to the little ones."
Wei Ran also expressed his emotion, and at the same time he raised his camera and took a photo of the children and of Kona who was surrounded by everyone.
"Do you want to take a group photo?" Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand and asked, "Just like we did in the basement!"
"want!"
Both Kena and the children headed by Alexander subconsciously responded in the affirmative.
Soon, these children wearing hats of various colors surrounded Kona and got ready with their backs to the barge in the distance.
"Kailailuo, Victor, you guys come too!" Kena waved to Kailailuo, "And the children around you."
"Give me the camera and I will take pictures for you."
Following the sound, Wei Ran recognized at a glance that the person standing next to him, wearing the uniform of a female soldier of the Soviet Red Army and holding the rank of sergeant, was the person named who lived in the same tent as Kena.
Catherine's female soldiers.
Looking at the lush birch forest in the distance, Wei Ran didn't know how much time had passed, but this female soldier, who was as skinny as Ke Na at the beginning, is now plumper, and the look on her face is also filled with perseverance.
replace.
Subconsciously, he handed the Rolleiflex dual camera with the horse fur camera case to the other party. When Wei Ran accidentally caught a glimpse of the gold melee assault medal on the camera case, he was stunned at first, and then he
He showed a complex expression of sudden realization, astonishment and surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Ekaterina took the camera and glanced at the strange expression on Wei Ran's face, and urged nonchalantly, "Go, children, stand together, the barge is about to leave."
"good"
