In the warm shack, Wei Ran sat by the fireplace and carefully made the crucial slingshot. This was not a complicated task for him, but it was the key weapon to detonate those butterfly bombs.

Before he could polish the branch into the desired shape, Father Seryosha's cautious call came from outside, "Victor, can I disturb you now?"

"Come in!" Wei Ran, who was still busy, greeted, "It's safe now."

A moment later, Father Seryosha opened the door and walked in. He placed the Soviet lunch box on the fireplace. He first looked at the canned fried fish on the bed, and then looked at Wei Ran's hand.

Li was whittling tree branches, and finally said, "Comrade Victor, let's eat something first."

"Do you have anything to eat?" Wei Ran asked this question without stopping what he was doing.

“Of course there is something to eat”

Father Seryozha replied, "Thanks to the fish you just fried, we even have something to eat at night."

"Didn't you have anything to eat at night before?" Wei Ran asked without looking back.

“Have birch bark fish soup to drink”

Father Seryosha helped fill the fireplace with some firewood, smacked his lips and said, "Peel off the birch bark and put it in fish soup to cook all night. It tastes exactly like dried fish."

"And you?"

Wei Ran finally raised his head and looked at him, "Have you eaten?"

"Of course I ate it"

"I'm not a fool"

Wei Ran immediately reminded, "There is only bad breath in your mouth, not the fishy smell of fish soup at all.

Dad, I am younger than you, but this position needs an experienced elder to command it in order to exert its combat effectiveness."

"No, you misunderstood, I am..."

"Dad, take your share of fish soup and eat it together."

Wei Ran said seriously, "I have seen people starve to death in front of me too many times in Leningrad. I don't want to see it here too. This is not an experience worth showing off."

After a brief silence, Father Seryozha quietly stood up and left the shack, and not long after, he brought the second Soviet lunch box.

Before the other party could say anything, Wei Ran snatched the other party's lunch box and opened it. He looked at the soft and boneless fish heads that were stewed inside, and then looked at the fish pieces in the lunch box that the other party had sent before.

, decided without any explanation, "I like to eat fish heads, let's switch. Father Seryosha, that portion is yours. Eat it quickly. After eating, I still have something important to ask you."

Hearing this, Father Seryozha, who was about to say something, opened his mouth, finally picked up the lunch box Wei Ran returned to him, and took out a wooden spoon from his boot, eating carefully and silently one bite at a time.

He never raised his head to look at Wei Ran again.

In less than ten minutes, Seryozha finished his share of fish soup, but before he could react, Wei Ran had already stuffed the lunch box with stewed fish heads into him again, "I'll eat this too."

Bar".

"You also have to..."

"I'm not short of food"

Wei Ran urged, "Eat quickly, I really want to ask you something very important after eating."

"No, I've already eaten today's share."

Father Seryosha resolutely refused the second serving of fish soup, "Victor, if you have anything to ask, ask it quickly. I'm going to help chop wood. Our manpower is getting smaller and smaller. This matter

There is no room for delay.”

"All right"

Wei Ran gave up trying to get the other party to eat more, lowered his voice slightly and asked, "What's going on with Vasily's mailbox?"

"That's what his father left behind."

Seryozha explained in a voice that only two people could hear, "That child is so pitiful, isn't he?"

"I may create a lot of explosions in the forest in the afternoon. If you find German butterfly bombs when you go to cut firewood, try to make some conspicuous marks, and I will deal with them."

Wei Ran promptly changed the subject and pointed to the fried fish can on the bed, "Also, before dark, could you please pick a place to dig an ice hole on the ice and light a large bonfire?

I've made a lot of bombs, and we'll probably get a lot tonight."

"I'll help you prepare it!"

Seryosha said happily, "Comrade Victor, you must also be careful. Those butterfly bombs are very sensitive."

"Germans are too old-fashioned and too sensitive is not a good thing."

Wei Ran said with a smile, "Anyway, remember to find a way to mark the locations of those butterfly bombs around you."

"We will use tree branches to hold the shell shells as guidance."

Father Seryosha said, "We have marked most of the butterfly bombs that have been discovered in the forest in this way."

“That’s great”

Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, this was good news for him.

“You remember to eat”

Father Seryozha said seriously, "Victor, we cannot lack an almighty reporter like you."

"I will remember"

Wei Ran nodded, watched the other party leave, then picked up the Y-shaped branch and polished it slowly.

About an hour later, Wei Ran made a slingshot that was particularly easy to hold.

He picked up the leather bag and tried the feel. He stuffed it into his arms with satisfaction. Then he picked up the ax for chopping firewood, smashed open the few stones he had just picked up, and picked out those stones that were about the size of his thumb.

Pieces of gravel the size of knots were put into his pocket.

With everything ready, he picked up the fish soup that had never been touched and left the shack, heading straight to the boys' dormitory not far away.

Gently push open the wooden door nailed with birch bark, and there are several homemade high and low bunks in this warm shack.

Yuri, who was in charge of sentry duty last night, was sleeping on the upper bunk closest to the fireplace, snoring loudly. In his lower bunk, Igor, who was injured last night, was holding a saw in one hand, cutting the rest of the

The firewood collected by the people was carefully cut into sizes suitable for burning.

"Victor, are you here?"

When Igor saw Wei Ran coming in, he immediately put down his saw and said hello, "Thank you for saving me yesterday."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You're welcome, how does the wound feel?" Wei Ran put the fish soup aside and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"have eaten"

Igor pointed to the empty lunch box hanging on the bedside not far away, then pointed to his injured hand and said, "The wound hurts so much that I can't sleep at all, so I'd better get up and do something."

, this can at least give me some peace of mind.”

"I also brought you a fish soup."

Wei Ran said, "Eat it too, it will help you recover faster."

"No, what will you do if I eat it?" Igor immediately shook his head, "How can I make you hungry?"

"I caught a lot of fish today."

Wei Ran opened the Soviet lunch box containing fish head soup, "This portion is for me as a reward, but I only had a good meal at the dock before I came here yesterday, so I give these to you."

"Can..."

"I didn't give it to you for free."

Wei Ran said quickly before the other party could refuse again, "I need you to do me a favor."

"What's the favor? Just tell me!" Igor said immediately, "I'll help you!"

"Drink the fish head soup first, otherwise I would rather let Vasily help me." Wei Ran said seriously, "This is a very dangerous job."

"You can't lie to me," Igor said after struggling a lot.

"I never lie to people," Wei Ran promised solemnly.

"I'll drink it, you tell me." Igor took out a spoon from under the pillow and said while drinking the fish soup.

"Drink slowly. I'll talk after you finish drinking. Now let me warm you up."

As Wei Ran spoke, he was already sitting by the fireplace. He took out the cigarette case in the metal book, took out a cigarette, put it on the holder, lit it and took a puff.

Seeing this, Igor gritted his teeth and finally drank the fish head soup sent by Wei Ran. However, Wei Ran took the opportunity to suddenly take out the Rollei double reflex, shouted "Don't move", and pressed the button towards the opponent.

opened the shutter.

"What I need you to do is done."

As he spoke, Wei Ran stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, and said before the other party spoke, "In addition to taking a photo of you, I also want you to help me get some gravel."

"Gravels?" Igor looked at Wei Ran in confusion.

“That’s the size”

Wei Ran took one out of his pocket and handed it to the other party, "I probably need dozens of pills every day, how about you help me prepare them?"

"What do you want these pebbles for?" Igor asked in confusion.
