Water has a source, trees have roots, and the source of everything is here.

Li Muye looked at the middle-aged man intently, remembering the wedding photo he lit before leaving home at the age of thirteen. He looked at this man very hard, trying to find the difference between this face and the one in his memory. The result was disappointing, except for a few more years of vicissitudes, this person was almost the same as the person in the photo in his memory.

He still looked very young, with sharp and axe-like cheeks, and he sat there with an air of non-anger and self-authority.

Li Muye couldn't help but wonder if he was wrong, was it really him?

When that person saw Li Muye, he immediately stood up, his figure was quite strong, tall, his eyes were bright, and the bridge of his nose was straight and towering, just like what he heard his godmother and sister describe when he was a child.

It's him, you can't be wrong.

Li Muye turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a minute. It's not that I'm afraid to face this person, but I don't want to be in front of him without figuring out anything.

The man watched Li Muye turn around and leave, a little inexplicable, and turned around and sat back on the sofa.

On the way back, Li Muye dialed Chen Binghui's phone. He didn't say a word, just kept silent. Chen Binghui didn't speak, and on both ends of the phone, the two brothers wasted their phone bills.

"Have you seen Anasayev?" Chen Binghui was the first to break the silence.

"When did you find out?" Li Muye replied.

Chen Binghui was silent for a while, and said, "Chen Miao told me when you were arranged to go to Moscow. ”

Li Muye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Binghui had known about this since he first knew himself, then the world would be too disappointing.

"In 99, before Macao's return to the motherland, I was seconded by Chen Miao to the Foreign Affairs Bureau and assigned to join an old gang to carry out undercover missions. Chen Binghui said: "At that time, they received news that these old people were controlled by foreign forces to organize a big sabotage operation against the Macao economy before the return, and then these old people were shocked, so the operation was canceled, and my mission was over, but because they were on vacation, they ran to the coal city with them, and you know the rest of the matter." ”

"How did Chen Miao find me?"

"I'm a member of the establishment, and my every move is disciplined, and when you were in Coal City, you designed me, but you were targeted by her people. Chen Binghui said: "When I checked on you, she found out about Anasaryev's past, so she found your sister first, and I was also hidden from her at that time, because I had just experienced some unfortunate things at that time, so she applied for a few more months of vacation for me and encouraged me to make more friends." ”

"Is Qi Tian also her person?" asked Li Muye.

"It's just a pawn she's chosen by chance. Chen Binghui said: "But later I found out that this person's relationship abroad is very complicated, so she temporarily decided to put a long line to catch a big fish, at that time her purpose was to see your heart through some things, and then decide how to use you." ”

"Your second sister is really more terrible than a ghost. Li Muye basically connected everything here when he heard this, and sighed: "Thinking about it now, she also made a test when she found me, if my choice disappointed her at that time, I'm afraid there would be no chance to get to where it is today." ”

Chen Binghui said: "My second sister is a hard-working woman, her brother-in-law and child died in a car accident 22 years ago, and since then, her life has only been work and revenge. ”

"Revenge?" Li Muye said, "Does her revenge have anything to do with that person?"

Chen Binghui did not answer directly, but said: "Your senses are very keen. ”

"Chen Miao went around in such a big circle, and it must be for him to get me here. Li Muye said: "How much do you know about that person?"

Chen Binghui said: "A powerful person has deep connections in the top of the Russian Federation, although he is hidden behind the scenes, he controls almost everything in Yakutsk, and he is more low-key and powerful than those famous oligarchs. ”

Li Muye said: "What do you want me to do?"

Chen Binghui said: "I don't have any expectations from you, if I can call the shots, I'd rather you weren't involved in this matter." He added: "The second sister's work has always been unfathomable, and many times even Lao Chu can't keep up with her train of thought, and I can't do it." ”

Li Muye said: "No matter what Chen Miao wants me to do, I want to know some things first, why did he kill people in the first place, why did he leave the country, how did he come here again from Li Zhonghua to Anasaryev, he has been here for so many years, why don't you ignore us, I will forget it, but my sister has lived too hard in this life, if there was a father to protect her, she would not have to suffer so much misfortune!"

Chen Binghui said: "Chen Miao's instruction is to let you come to Yakutsk, meet the person Anasayev, she didn't say what she wants you to do next, you can follow your own mind to play freely, what I can tell you is that we have been fighting for this Anasayev for many years, as for the second sister's next plan, we can only wait." ”

hung up the phone and ordered Lao Cui not to go back first, and to walk around the city casually.

The weather is being broadcast on the Russian-language radio, and the temperature outside the car is minus 39 degrees Celsius, which is relatively warm and suitable for children to play.

When the Knight XV came to Lenin's Central Square, there were snowflakes and a group of children frolicking and playing under the street lamps. Li Muye instructed Lao Cui to wait in the car, open the door and get out of the car, walk to the statue of Lenin in the square, and stand in the snowy night with the great man, gazing at this unique city.

The sky has been gloomy with snowfall, at first it was a sporadic crushed snow, then it became heavier and heavier, and finally it turned into a goose feather snow, and it was not visible ten meters away. Although this place is cold, it has the advantage of hardly blowing wind. More than 2,000 kilometers to the south, the Baikal region is not successful, although the temperature is higher than here, but because of the strong wind, it is even more unbearable.

This is the land of choice in the mouth of Yakutia, where politics is far worse than religion, economy is better than bread and vodka, loyalty to the state is better than faith in the family. No army can truly conquer this place, and of course, no one wants to do such a stupid thing from any point of view. Because it's so cold here. The harsh weather alone is enough to repel all invading enemies.

In this land, which is said to be able to freeze even the wind, there are no railways here because of the cold, and there are very few roads here because of the cold. Beyond the permafrost, there are countless lakes here, and as the locals say, a lake is born for every child born. People who are not familiar with the environment come here, and accidents can happen anytime and anywhere.

There are only two seasons here, winter and summer, where people work in the winter and have a holiday in the summer. The people of Yakutsk have an incomprehensible endurance. At minus 50°C, construction workers continue to battle the construction site, and at this temperature, even the metal becomes brittle and fragile like ice. Children will continue to attend school unless the temperature drops below -55°C. Only kindergartens are closed at -50°C.

On a snowy night, you can't see anything ten meters in front of you, but you can still hear the happy and excited shouts of children.

Although Li Muye was wearing a luxurious fur, he gradually felt that it was difficult to resist this hellish cold. I can't help but think, how could that man who used to be named Li Zhonghua choose to settle here for twenty years and become the Anasaryev he is today?

Lao Cui got out of the car with a mink coat and silently draped it on Li Muye's body.

"Aren't you cold?" Li Muye noticed that Lao Cui was only wearing a jacket.

Lao Cui smiled, shook his head and said: "Get used to it, in Russia, as long as there is fat and vodka, such weather is simply a gift from God." ”

Li Muye suddenly came to talk and asked, "When you were young, did you play in such a cold day like these children?"

"Even in Moscow, there are few such low temperatures in winter, but I didn't have the blessing to play freely at that time, my father was a very famous animal trainer, specializing in training Siberian tigers, and he liked to drink and write poetry outside of work, he used to have high expectations for me, but at that time my academic performance was very bad, for which he was very disappointed, I gave up my studies at the age of eleven to work in the circus, and since then I have rarely interacted with people." ”

"You can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business. Li Muye felt and said: "Some things come from the instinct in the blood, and genetic inheritance is really a wonderful thing." ”

Lao Cui said: "My grandfather married my grandmother when he was very old and gave birth to my father, my grandfather served in the army when he was young, he raised a bear and participated in the war with him, the bear even made war exploits on the battlefield, after the war, my grandfather and his bear were discharged together, and were appointed by the state to form a circus, which was the golden age of our family, people were keen on circus performances, and my grandfather proudly taught his craft to my father." ”

"Why does your father seem to not want you to inherit your ancestor's craftsmanship when it comes to your generation?" asked Li Muye with interest.

Lao Cui said: "Because my father once saw an Amur male tiger bite my grandfather's throat, it was a terrible accident, the male tiger weighed more than 800 pounds, it was my grandfather's favorite big guy, when I bit my grandfather, it only took a moment. ”

"Since that's the case, why did your father change his mind again?" Li Muye said: "Is the pressure of life really more important than the relationship between father and son?"

"In addition to having no choice, it was also because my father learned years later the real reason for my grandfather's death. Lao Cui carefully patted the snow off Li Muye's body, and continued: "At that time, my grandfather had a serious liver disease and lived in great pain every day, and the Amur tiger was a god and felt my grandfather's pain, so I helped him end everything, and after my father knew the truth, he decided to follow my grandfather's last wish to let me enter this industry." ”

"Will you let your son continue this business?" asked Li Muye again.

Lao Cui smiled: "I don't have a son yet, if I have one in the future, as long as he likes it, I want him to do anything." ”

Li Muye was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe that there are fathers in this world who don't care about the happiness of their children?"
