In the dark night, the cold wind is howling, and the snow is drifting---

Volga cars drove alone on the spacious avenues of Moscow.

Song Zhichao was bumpy in the car, coupled with a severe cold, the whole person felt very bad. Listening to the "creaking" sound of the car crushing the ice and snow, my head was dizzy, and I wanted to fall asleep.

At this time, the sedan braked suddenly.

Song Zhichao was tilted forward by inertia, but fortunately he reached out quickly and held the chair in front of him with his hand, so he was spared from hitting his head on the back of the chair.

"What's wrong?" Song Zhichao asked.

Chekov said to him, "Martial law is on the front." ”

"What?" Song Zhichao was stunned for a moment, then looked ahead, only to see that not far ahead, a team of Soviet soldiers blocked the entire road, using thick birch to make a herringbone frame, across the middle of the road, prohibiting vehicles from entering.

Chekov explained: "Recently, Moscow has not been very peaceful, and there are often people robbing shops and harassing tourists, so a curfew is imposed at 9 o'clock in the evening. ”

Hearing this, Song Zhichao looked at his watch, it happened to be ten o'clock, and the barricade in front of him was obviously just built, and several Soviet soldiers next to him were still breathing at their hands, and it seemed that the thing that had just been built was not lightly frozen.

"I'm sorry, Boss Song, according to normal time, if I hadn't been late and had come to pick up the plane early, I would have been able to enter Moscow before the curfew and reach the big hotel you booked, but now I'm ......" Chekov looked ashamed.

Song Zhichao waved his hand, meaning that no matter what happened to him, he would be embarrassed on a snowy day, and it was difficult to avoid a car accident on the road.

So Song Zhichao said to Jin Jiu: "Hurry up and get rid of it, go back to the hotel to rest--- sneeze!"

When Jin Jiu saw Song Zhichao's order, he smiled, jumped out of the car directly, and walked towards the Soviet soldiers guarding the checkpoint.

Chekov also hurriedly got out of the car and acted as his interpreter.

Song Zhichao wiped his nose in the car, his head was groggy, and he didn't bother to pay attention to how to solve this thorny problem outside.

......

There were four Soviet soldiers in charge of guarding the checkpoint, two on each side. At this moment, he was rubbing his hands, getting an empty gasoline drum, throwing firewood, pouring gasoline and igniting it, the firewood crackled and smoked a strong fire, and the tongue of fire spewed out, reflecting the surroundings.

Seeing that someone got out of the car, and it was a tall "foreigner", the four Soviet soldiers immediately became vigilant and were about to raise their guns at hand, when Chekov jumped out of the car and said in Russian: "Excuse me, dear soldiers, we just came from the airport......"

Jin Jiu saw that the soldiers relaxed their vigilance, so he greeted them with a smile, and Chekov next to him helped to translate. During this time, the soldiers checked their passports and travel documents and did not seem to find anything wrong.

After a while, Jin Jiu returned to the car, then took out two bottles of "Erguotou", then turned around and walked back, and directly stuffed Erguotou to the four Soviet soldiers on duty and said: "Thank you!

The four Soviet soldiers were also veterans, and when they saw the two pots, they all smiled on their faces. He immediately accepted it, opened the floodgates, and said: "Long live the Soviet-Chinese friendship!"

Jin Jiu grinned and said, "Long live Sino-Soviet friendship!"

You must know that in the Soviet Union today, high-grade liquor like "Erguotou" is very popular among Soviets. In many cases, things that can't even be done with gold can be done with a second pot head, so when Song Zhichao came to the Soviet Union, he deliberately brought some "two pot heads" over, plus Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong are both fierce men, which is also very convenient.

In this way, I got back in the car, and with a super weapon like "Erguotou", the road was unimpeded.

In contrast, some other travelers who wanted to enter the city of Moscow were very miserable, directly intercepted outside, cold and snowy days, one by one sad faces, some of them were with children, the children cried non-stop, even if they begged bitterly, those on duty did not open the gates to release people, looking from afar, a large group of people were so drowned in the heavy snow, and they did not know where they would spend the night tonight.

......

Poseidon Grand Hotel, Moscow---

Song Zhichao is a person who doesn't like to endure hardships very much, to be precise, he has suffered too much in his previous life, so he is very repulsive about hardship, so his hobby of doing big now is --- enjoyment.

Whether it's a business trip or a job, you have to eat the best, you have to live the best, money is not a problem, as long as you can live comfortably--- it's OK to make money, isn't it just for enjoyment?

Therefore, when Song Zhichao came to Moscow this time, he directly booked the most famous five-star hotel here, the Poseidon Hotel.

Song Zhichao was not feeling well, and he was too lazy to eat any supper, so he went directly back to his guest room to rest.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong, under the leadership of Chekov, went to the hotel's restaurant and ordered a supper.

The USSR is not without good food, it depends mainly on whether you have money or not.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong took Chekov out and opened a small stove in the restaurant and ate a delicious meal.

After eating, Chekov remembered that Song Zhichao told him to bring him some cold medicine back after eating, so he went to the department store of the big hotel and wanted to buy cold medicine.

Large hotels like Poseidon usually have their own department stores that buy and sell souvenirs and daily necessities, the most common being towels and sets. Medicine, however, is very rare.

Helplessly, Chekov had to brave the heavy snow to go out, and the Soviet Union was holding curfews or something during this time, and many pharmacies were not open. Chekov finally found a familiar pharmacy and patted the door for a long time before he opened it.

Because of the current situation, prices in the Soviet Union are soaring, and even though the government uses gold to lower the prices of some necessities, such as bread and milk, the prices of some special commodities, such as alcohol, medicines, etc., remain high.

Fortunately, Chekov carried with him the dollars that Song Zhichao gave him.

Now in the Soviet Union, the dollar is simply more useful than gold. When Chekov took out the dollars, the pharmacy owner even straightened his eyes, and the resentment that Chekov was woken up suddenly dissipated.

After buying cold medicine, Chekov was busy driving his Volga car all the way back to the Poseidon Hotel.

On the road, I kept hearing the roar of police cars, flashing lights on the road, and I didn't know which store was robbed by robbers again.

On such a cold and snowy day, these poor Moscow policemen couldn't stop, and had to brave the heavy snow to investigate the scene after receiving the alarm.

As a matter of fact, the police force in Moscow is not sufficient at all, mainly because there are too many cases of robbery, and many poor people have no choice but to take risks if people want to survive and live; in addition, there are some criminals who are already restless, and they are even taking advantage of the fire to rob at this time, making the capital Moscow also unpeaceful.
