Chapter 1643 Going to a Banquet(1/4)
When the white light faded again, Wei Ran returned to Edelweiss' dream farm and sat at the table again.
Under his blank gaze, the metal quill pen seemed to have no intention of giving him time to react, and wrote line after line of handwriting again:
Act 5
Character identity: Wei Ran
Return mission: Go to a banquet
Gone?
Wei Ran couldn't help but be stunned. This time, even if there is no identity prefix in front of his name, the return mission is so simple?
Before he could react, he also saw the props that could be used this time in the sudden white light.
Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, nothing more.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Ran calmly waited for the white light to dissipate. At the same time, he was also looking forward to what kind of banquet it would be and who he would see at the banquet.
After a while, the first external information he felt was the chill coming from his face, as well as the crunching noise and slight bumps underneath him.
When everything in his field of vision gradually became clearer, the first thing he saw was the handle of the cart in front of him and a big mule pulling the cart.
Are you on a sledge?
Wei Ran looked around subconsciously. The sledge was covered with a thick layer of wheat straw, but apart from the handlebar, he was the only one there.
Looking at what he was wearing, Wei Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, he was wearing a set of 50-style winter military uniforms that he had worn on the moss battlefield.
Details such as the absence of cap badges and badges, the quilted cotton coat, the tightened cuffs, the high-waisted cotton shoes, the tufted hat, and even the extra pads sewn on the shoulders and elbows all seemed to hint that he had just stepped off the battlefield.
.
But he didn't have any weapons or ammunition on his body, but the small canvas bag he carried contained a lot of candies of various colors.
In his pockets were several packs of American cigarettes, five or six zippo lighters, and even two American watches and several Parker pens.
Does my consciousness deserve to be so low?
Wei Ran muttered angrily, but without any delay, he tore open a pack of Haocai cigarettes, took out one and lit it.
He casually pulled the bag next to him and opened it to take a look. There were not many things in it. There was a square piece of thick floral cloth folded up, a pack of tea leaves, a pack of brown sugar, a pack of tobacco leaves and a few new towels.
In addition, there is also a food-eliminating knife, which Hu Bazhi gave to him.
Could it be that we were going to Hu Bazhi's house? That's probably it...
Wei Ran secretly guessed while looking at the forest and snow fields around him.
"Uu——"
Just at this time, the handlebar also shouted to the mule pulling the sledge to stop, pointed to a fork in the road on the left with the pipe in his hand, and said, "Comrade, I can only take you here."
If you keep walking along that fork in the road, you'll see a village about a mile or two after crossing the bridge, and that's where you want to go."
"Thank you for taking me along"
After Weiran politely thanked him, he took out an American lighter and a pack of American cigarettes and gave them to the handlebar type. Then he got out of the car with his baggage and watched the handlebar type drive away.
After that, he threw the baggage on his shoulders and walked towards the fork in the snow.
Although he didn't have to hide in the woods this time, and although he didn't have any decent weapons on him, he felt inexplicably much more relaxed because of the outfit he was wearing.
He knew that in this black land, there was no longer a living invader, and even the thieves who once ran rampant, I am afraid there are not a few left now.
Because of this, his steps became more and more brisk and energetic.
Along the way, he didn't forget to take out his camera and look at it. Fortunately, this Rollei camera contained only one film.
Hanging the camera directly around his neck, Wei Ran straightened his chest, admiring the magnificent snow scenery around him, and walked with meteoric strides - as if he were at home.
He climbed over the low earth beam that was not too high easily. When he stood on the top of the earth beam, he saw from a distance that on the other side of the earth beam, close to the edge of a forest, there was a person covered by a quilt.
A small village surrounded by farmland.
There are only twenty or thirty households in this village, and the chimneys of each house are emitting a faint smoke. Standing on the earth beam, he can even clearly smell the unique smell of burning pine mixed with the cold air.
aroma.
Tightening the furoshiki slung over his shoulders, Wei Ran slid down the dirt beam and continued walking along the country dirt road leveled by snow. An uncontrollable expression gradually appeared on his face.
Live with a smile.
Near the edge of the village, a few children who were playing with a homemade sledge cart came up curiously.
"salute!"
One of the little guys, with a tiger-like head and a face covered with snot bubbles, shouted loudly, and the other little guys either raised their left hands or their right hands.
"The salute is wrong, it's the other hand!" The little guy who took the lead in saluting hurriedly corrected him in a low voice to a little girl next to him.
It's okay if he didn't say this. After he said it, the other little guys all subconsciously changed their hands.
"Hello!"
With an increasingly uncontrollable smile, Wei Ran responded with a serious salute, then squatted down and asked with a smile, "Children, are you from this village?"
"Yes -" these little guys answered in unison with long tones.
"Then do any of you know what this village is called?" Wei Ran continued to ask with a smile.
"Hua Shu Tuen," the little guy who saluted him first answered quickly.
"Then do you know if there is anyone named Hu in this village?" Wei Ran asked tentatively, and at the same time he took out a handful of candy bars from his bag and gave them to the children.
"His surname is Hu, and our family's surname is Hu in our village."
A chubby girl with braids pointed at a little boy who looked to be about five or six years old and said.
"Kid, what's your name?" Wei Ran said, taking out a handful of candy bars and stuffing them directly into the little guy's cotton-padded jacket pocket.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "His name is Yuhu! Hu Yuhu!" Another child answered quickly, and successfully got a handful of candy bars from Wei Ran who seemed to be distracted.
Son.
Just by hearing the name, Wei Ran knew that he was right.
"Yuhu, who is there in your family?" Wei Ran simply didn't leave in a hurry and sat down on the cold snow and asked with a smile.
"His father, his mother, he also has a sister!"
Another child rushed to answer the question that was supposed to be answered by Hu Yuhu, "His sister is still breastfeeding, and her name is Hu Shixia!"
"This name is really nice, really nice..."
Wei Ran allowed the child who answered the question to take away the candy in his hand, cheered up and asked, "Then which one of you can take me to his house?"
"Me! Me!"
Several little guys answered in unison, and successfully received a handful of candy bars that Wei Ran took out again.
Maybe it's because he's generous enough, or maybe it's because the military uniform he wears is trustworthy.
These energetic little guys laughed and insisted on letting him hold Hu Yuhu and sit on the simple sledge, which was only slightly larger than the bench.
Amidst the laughter, these children either worked together to pull him with a rope, or pushed him with their dirty hands behind his back. They led him into the small village filled with smoke and tranquility, singing and laughing all the way.
He came to the gate of a fenced yard on the edge of the village, closest to the woods.
This fenced yard is not big. In addition to three adobe houses, there is also a den in the yard. There are a few reindeer poking their heads at the door of the den.
Before Wei Ran could stand up from the small sledge, two flat-eared dogs had already pushed open the heavy door curtain and rushed out. They squatted inside the fence and looked at him with their heads tilted intelligently. They neither barked nor shook their heads.
Tail.
Wei Ran once again used a handful of candy to kill the children who were following him. Wei Ran carried Hu Yuhu and walked to the gate of the fence yard, patting the open wooden door gently.
"Who is it?"
With a shout, a woman wearing a leather robe and a yellow roe deer hat opened the curtain and walked out carrying a kettle.
"Clang!"
The moment she saw Wei Ran, the kettle in the woman's hand also slipped and hit the steps.
"Brother Wei! Is it Brother Wei?"
Before he finished speaking, the woman had already hurried over and grabbed Wei Ran's slightly cold hand excitedly.
"It's me"
Wei Ran suppressed his excitement and shook hands with the other party. He also recognized it at a glance. This woman happened to be Unakan, the Oroqen girl back then!
"Quick, quick! Come in!"
Unakan took Hu Yuhu with the candy in his mouth, kicked away the two flat-eared dogs that were approaching with wagging tails, and warmly greeted Wei Ran to follow her inside.
"Where's Brother Hu?"
Wei Ran followed Unakan and asked anxiously as he walked into the house.
"He went to town"
Unakan had already raised the thick curtain while speaking, and motioned Wei Ran in while saying, "I heard he said he was going to pick up a friend..."
