At the innermost side of the cellar, there are two high and low bunks made of wooden boards. In addition, on the wall facing the door, there is a table made of wooden boards haphazardly pieced together.

"This is where Victor and I usually live."

As he spoke, Artyom took out a wine bottle from under the blanket of one of the beds. He unscrewed it and took a sip before stuffing it back in. He pointed at the two beds above his head and said, "Regica, Yuri, you guys

You two can sleep on the two beds above for now. I have already brought your luggage for you.

Of course, Regina, you don’t have to worry about it, Victor and I don’t come back to sleep often. After a while, when the new shack is built, I will find a suitable place for you to live."

As he said this, the old guy had already walked out of the door, "You guys wait here, I'll get you a reward. I didn't expect you to catch such a big prey."

Before he finished speaking, Artyom had already walked out of this cold underground cellar and went to who knows where.

"I'm going to light the fireplace. You can sit down wherever you want."

Wei Ran, who was also coming here for the first time, warmly entertained the siblings. At the same time, he was busy taking out some firewood from the rattan basket beside the fireplace, splitting it with an ax and lighting it.

While he was busy here, Yuri also picked up the copper kettle that was placed by the fireplace, walked outside, filled it with snow, and then placed it on the stone platform beside the fireplace.

Regina walked out of the underground cellar and carried in the wolf skin that had been frozen into plate armor and the huge moose skin with difficulty.

When the simple fireplace was raised, although the cellar was not very warm for a while, it became much brighter.

It was through this firelight that he could clearly see that on the bed that seemed to belong to him, the only personal belongings were an enamel rice bowl that might be used for eating and a bowl hanging on the wall.

Just a glass kettle.

As for the bed, it was simply a thick layer of pine needles and a tattered blanket patched together with scraps of various animal skins.

As for the upper bunk that temporarily belonged to the siblings, except for two bulging sacks, there was not even a blanket at all.

After a while, Artyom also walked in carrying a tattered sack bag.

The old guy closed the wooden door staring at the birch bark, called for Wei Ran and the other three to come over, and then opened the sack he was carrying with a proud look on his face and took out everything inside.

"Regica, this is for you. I originally planned to give it to you as a gift after you joined the hunting team, but I didn't expect that you would gain so much on the first day."

As he spoke, Artyom handed a German goggles to Regina and lowered his voice and said, "On Christmas Day, our anti-aircraft artillery team shot down a German fighter jet. This goggles came from the corpse of that German guy.

Found on me."

After Regina took the goggles, Artyom took out a 6X30x Zeiss telescope from his bag and handed it to Yuri, who looked excited, "Yuri, if I remember correctly, it will be your birthday soon."

Bar?"

"The day after tomorrow" Yuri happily took the telescope handed to him.

"This is your reward and your birthday gift." Artem patted the young man on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you Uncle Artyom!"

Yuri said happily, then glanced at his sister who was signing, and asked hurriedly, "My sister said you must have spent a lot of money to get these things, right?"

"nothing"

Artyom waved his hand nonchalantly but did not explain. He just took out a set of white shirts and underwear from his bag and handed them to Wei Ran.

What made him dumbfounded was that this set of shirts and underwear was obviously made of German silk parachutes - it also had the German eagle logo and the German words "Made in Germany" on it.

"You said a long time ago that it's too cold to go out every day. I asked my wife to make it for you using the pilot's parachute cloth, and I also left two pieces for you to use as foot wraps."

Artyom handed the set of shirts and underwear to Wei Ran along with the two foot wraps he had just taken out, and said apologetically, "The supply of felt boots is still a bit tight now. I will try to get you another pair in a while."

.”

"Don't worry, I can still bear it."

Wei Ran took the close-fitting shirt and said politely, he was indeed not in a hurry. Although the German marching boots were not warm, wearing them under the felt boots was enough for the time being.

After giving gifts to these three people, Artyom cluttered the empty sacks and said, "After you send the logs we need, get a load of firewood for our shack and rest, Vic."

Duo was busy last night, and Regina and Yuri have just arrived here. Let’s take a rest and start working again tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, Regina pointed to the piece of moose skin under her feet, and then made some gestures.

"My sister asked you what to do with this piece of moose skin," Yuri helped translate.

"You siblings haven't joined the hunting team yet."

Artyom pointed to the two upper bunks in a particularly easy-going manner, "So I'll leave them to you, just for making beds."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Regina's face, and then she nodded vigorously.

"Okay, you guys get warm and then go transport the logs. I have to go back to work first."

After saying that, Artyom turned around, opened the wooden door, and left the cellar, which was not yet warm.

"Uncle Artyom is so kind to us," Wei Ran said with ulterior motives while holding his own clothes.

"He and my dad have been friends for many years. I heard my dad say that they used to..."

Or something? Before Yuri had time to say it, Regina slapped her on the head and swallowed the most critical words. Then, Regina made another gesture.

Yuri was stunned and quickly said, "Brother Victor, my sister said that she wants to simply process this deerskin first, so can you transport the logs yourself first? We will process the deerskin later.

I'll go after you."

"no problem"

Wei Ran responded happily, glanced at the few firewood left in the corner, took his gift and simply left the nest, yelling at his reindeer sleigh and ran towards the lake again.

The direction of the forest on the edge.

Returning to the hard-cut logs, Wei Ran was not in a hurry to load the logs into the car. Instead, he loaded a car full of chopped firewood.

Before going back, he took off his clothes again and put on this set of silk shirts and underwear underneath - just as he guessed, his tattered clothes were kept warm by the animal skins sewn on the outside.

Underneath his pants, he was really only wearing a pair of big pants.

After changing into clothes, at least there was a layer of lining inside, and the lower body was finally somewhat warmer. After taking a final look at the frozen lake, Wei Ran ordered the sleigh to go back.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was a smooth journey back to the shack that belonged to him, the siblings, and Artyom. From a distance, he saw Artyom and Artyom.

A soldier wearing a military uniform and a hat stood at the door, talking to Regina and her sister.

However, before he could speak, just as he was yelling at the two reindeer to stop, the nauseating but indescribable sense of brain shutdown also swept over him, and his whole body also felt...

His vision went dark, and he fell with a thud next to the hooves of the two reindeer.

When he could see everything in front of him clearly again, Regina's siblings, Artyom and the Red Army soldier also swarmed over and hurriedly helped him up.

"He is Victor? What happened to him?" The man in military uniform picked up Wei Ran and asked as he walked into the cellar.

“An old problem”

It was Artyom who answered the question. The old guy sighed and said, "He faints from time to time. Doctor Misha has examined him several times, but nothing has been found."

Hearing this, Wei Ran opened his mouth, but the sense of brain failure that had not subsided prevented him from making any sound at all. Instead, the slowly flowing nosebleed dripped into his mouth.

In just a short time, the man in military uniform had already put him on the bed. Artyom wiped Wei Ran's nosebleed with his gloves and said with regret, "If it weren't for this problem of his, I would have died a long time ago."

So I recommended him to the hunting team or guerrilla team. To tell you the truth, Victor’s marksmanship is actually very good."

“That’s not a bad thing.”

The man in military uniform pulled out two balls of cotton from the damaged cuffs of his cotton coat and helped Wei Ran block the bleeding nostrils. Then he stood up and said, "I know about Regina and Yuri. Wait for me

I will discuss with the captain when I get back and see when to let them join the hunting team. Before that, let them follow Comrade Victor to be responsible for the logging work."

"Brother Boris, will I be able to have my own shotgun when I join the hunting team?" Yuri, who had a telescope hanging on his chest, finished speaking and then looked worriedly at Wei Ran, whom he had just met.

"You'll find out when you join the hunting team."

The man in military uniform named Boris patted Yuri on the shoulder, "No matter which position you are at, you are fighting the Germans. Okay, I have to leave. I will inform you when there is news."

.”

After saying that, Boris said goodbye to everyone, turned around and got out of the underground cellar, which had become much warmer.

"I'm leaving too"

Artem glanced at Wei Ran, then walked out and said, "Regica, Yuri, you two take care of Victor first."

"Leave it to us!" Yuri promised before closing the door.

Almost at the same time that the wooden door nailed with birch bark closed, Wei Ran finally returned to normal and sat up with Regina's subconscious help.

It was through this action that he also noticed that Regina, who had untied her scarf at this time, had a conspicuous scar on her throat. Judging from the appearance of the scar, it seemed that... it seemed that she had been raped by a wolf.

Just like the bite!

Wei Ran looked away without trace, waved his hand, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Hearing this, Regina looked at Yuri and made a series of gestures very quickly.

"Let him rest for a while and let's go bring those logs back."

This time, Wei Ran didn't even wait for Yuri to speak before he understood what Regina wanted to express.

It turns out that what I learned this time was mute language...
