Kudlik nodded and allowed Piatov to greet the two little guys who were reading storybooks and follow him out of the cellar, temporarily giving them space to talk.

It wasn't until he watched Piatov and the two children leave the relatively warm cellar that Mr. Kudlik opened the lid of the box.

There aren't many things in this box. A tin biscuit box and a few books are all that can be seen.

He took out the slightly rusty biscuit box and the few books on engineering machinery and placed them on the table. He took out three photo albums stacked together from the next floor, and then picked out another one to read.

Get up and open the oldest one.

"This photo album is one of the few relics my mother left me. It contains photos of my mother and me before we have memories."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As he spoke, Mr. Kudlik pointed to the only photo on the first page of the album, which is also the metal among the belongings of Commissar Vinia.

The photo saved in the photo frame.

"Can I see this photo album?"

Before Wei Ran took action, he took out a pair of white silk gloves from his pocket in a very formal manner, and at the same time explained, "I have confirmed that it is not wrong to give those relics to you.

In addition, there is a letter in that notepad, which I have not opened. I guess it was written by your father, Comrade Comrade Venia, to you and your mother."

"Look at it as you like," Mr. Kudlik said casually, "At my age, there are no secrets anymore."

Having said that, the old man quietly put the other two photo albums back into the box.

While the other party was covering the two photo albums with those engineering books, Wei Ran also glanced at the cover of the photo album above. It seemed to be a wedding photo of a young couple.

Quickly looking away before the other party raised his head, Wei Ran carefully opened the photo album.

At the same time, Mr. Kudlik also picked up the notepad left by political commissar Vinya, opened it, took out the letter folded into a triangle, carefully opened it, and read silently under the dim light above his head.

Just turning to the second page of the photo album, Wei Ran discovered that there was also only one photo on the first page, a photo of Vinia's wife holding Kudlik alone as a baby, taken by a flower bed, and

Stapled to this page are two letters from Vinya to his wife.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ran immediately closed the photo album gently and did not pry into the warmth of this war-torn family. He just sat silently and waited patiently for Mr. Kudlik to finish reading the long-late letter.

After reading the letter, she watched him force herself to help him find a stapler from the stationery box on the bedside of a single bed, and stapled the letter to the photo album that Wei Ran had just turned one page of.

inside.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Wei Ran waited until the other party put away the photo album before asking.

"You can take the risk to come to a place like this to deliver my father's relics. I should thank you very much."

As Mr. Kudlik said, he put the notepad left by Political Commissar Vinia into the box. Then, he opened the tin biscuit box and put the few coins that Wei Ran sent along with him belonging to Commissar Vinia.

The medal and the metal photo frame were also put in. However, he left the TT33 pistol on the table.

Wei Ran, who was watching on the sidelines, also saw that there were several medals and corresponding certificates in the biscuit box, as well as a stack of papers tied with rubber bands, which together probably amounted to no more than 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

Banknote.

"Are you planning to live somewhere else?"

Wei Ran waited for the other party to close the lid of the biscuit box and then asked, "Any city in Russia will do. You need a better environment, and the two children also need a better environment."

"thank you for your kindness"

Kudlik said while re-locking the lid of the box, "But no, it's fine if we live here. Although it's far less safe than other places, but..."

"boom!"

Before Kudlik could finish his words, the two of them heard a deafening explosion at the same time, and earth fell from above their heads. Even the only light bulb went out.

"Quick, help me up." Kudlik was obviously panicked, "Quick!"

"What do you need to do?" Wei Ran said faster, "I'll help you!"

"Child, help me go and see those two children!"

Kudlik struggled to stand up, "Hurry up and help me... No, no, no, it's too dangerous outside. Young man, you stay here and I'll go by myself. You're not familiar with this place, or..."

"It's better if I help you take a look."

Wei Ran said without any doubt, "Don't worry, I know where Piatov's home is, and I will be back soon. Before that, you must not get hurt."

While talking, Wei Ran had already turned on the flashlight function of the spare mobile phone, helped Mr. Kudlik, who had a broken leg, to the entrance of the cellar, and made him sit on the corner steps on one side of the steel plate covering the car repair ditch.

superior.

"I left this phone for you"

Wei Ran spoke faster and said, "If nothing happens to the children, I will call here. Even if you don't answer, it doesn't matter. As long as you hear the phone ringing, it proves that the children are okay."

"Young man, you have to pay attention to your safety." Kudlik warned uneasily.

“I’ll be back soon”

Before he finished speaking, Wei Ran had already lifted up the thick cotton curtain and ran out. After leaving the carport, he quickly ran out of the yard and ran in the dark towards Piatov.

As he ran, he also noticed that another building not far from Mr. Kudlik's house had exploded and ignited something. At this time, many villagers had already run towards the place where the fire broke out.

From the curses of the villagers, Wei Ran also roughly understood that what was blown up seemed to be the transformer in this village, and it also affected the wood-carved houses of two nearby families.

Without daring to think too much, Wei Ran quickened his pace and ran towards the entrance of the village, and then met Piatov who was carrying a fire extinguisher and was about to run in the direction of the fire.

"The children are fine!" Piatov pointed in the direction of his house, "They are in the cellar! How is Father Kudlik doing?"

"It's okay!" Wei Ran responded loudly, "Lend me your cell phone and I'll let dad know you're safe."

"Go to my house! I didn't bring it with me!" Piatov pointed in the direction of his house, "They are all in the cellar!"

Hearing this, Wei Ran ignored the politeness and immediately ran into Pyatov's house, stood in the yard and loudly identified himself.

Soon, Pyatov's wife ran out, and after learning that Weiran needed a mobile phone, she immediately handed over an old-looking smartphone.

He took the other party's cell phone and dialed the backup cell phone. Wei Ran waited for the ring to ring and then returned the phone to the other party, "Are the children okay?"

"Everything is okay!" Piatov's wife said immediately, "Is Dad okay?"

“It’s okay”

"Victor, if it's convenient, can you help me take care of the children?" Piatov's wife already picked up a bucket as she spoke, "I'm going to help put out the fire."

"I don't know how to take care of children." Wei Ran snatched the bucket from the other person's hand as he spoke, "but I can put out fires."

After saying that, he didn't care what the other person said, and quickly ran to his car on the other side of the road. After rummaging around inside, he took out the fire extinguisher and threw it into the bucket. Then he put on the helmet and ran towards the car.

The direction of the fire.

However, before he could reach his destination, another "boom" explosion came from the direction of the fire! And another wooden house was ignited!

"grass!"

Wei Ran immediately stopped and hid in the shadow of the building, using the firelight to look directly above where the explosion occurred.

Unfortunately, even though there was no light pollution in the night sky except for the bright light from the fire location, he still could not see the existence of the drone. But before the explosion, he also did not hear the sound of artillery or rockets flying.

Whistle sound.

Throwing away the bucket with a clang, Wei Ran hid in the shadows and took out the very large telescope he had just obtained not long ago and pointed it at the night sky.

Thanks to the excellent optical performance of this antique telescope, he soon discovered a large civilian quadcopter flying smoothly due west, and before he tried to do anything, it crossed the distance.

The river channel disappeared without a trace.
