"After graduating from high school, I went to a place where I trained journalists, because my mother is also a journalist, and I can often interview some great people, and I think my mother is just as good as them, so I want to be like my mother. But my mother thought that I should go to high school, and then go to college, participate in internships, or continue to get a higher degree, but how long will it take to catch up with my mother, so I quarreled with my mother, and my mother was very angry that day, and smashed a lot of dishes and plates at home, so I was spoiled by my father, and finally my father agreed to let me go to journalist school, hehe...... Then I'm going to go to journalists' school! Just graduated this year! ”

"Aren't you going to tell me what happened at school......" Su Yuan said weakly.

For example, what kind of slacks your English teacher likes to wear to class every day, how do you help the pair of little mandarin ducks at the table next to your left and right to deliver love letters in class, and how do you help the stinky boys in the class who broke the glass with a basketball in physical education class fool the teacher. It is no exaggeration to say that Leila has been talking about these things for more than half an hour before, not only does it make people drowsy, but Su Yuan also has to help her translate it to Lu Lanqing, and Lu Lanqing is also listening to it with great interest!

Even if it's for Lan Qing, let her talk more, Su Yuan thought. After all, Lu Lanqing has never experienced these things in the environment where he grew up.

"Because, life in the journalist school is very boring, everyone lies on the table to study and listen to the lecture as soon as class is started, and everyone goes home after class, and it is ......not interesting at all."

"Maybe it's because everyone is under a lot of pressure."

If it weren't for the needs of their families, who would have given up a higher education and gone to what journalist school today?

Leila nodded.

"Well, I graduated soon after, and I followed my father to look for a job, but no one in the big media was willing to ask for me, and finally my mother told me that she heard that the branch of the American Society in Vladivostok had just been transferred......"

"And you're here, aren't you?"

"Yes! Now, hey...... It’s－your－turn！！！ ”

Su Yuan couldn't resist Leila's curious eyes, and said helplessly:

"I said, I want you to tell me your story, but I don't want you to tell me about these little children's lives, and after that? Did you interview the Soviet Red Army? ”

"Ah, yes...... However, the principle of war correspondents is that there must be neutrality between the two sides of the war...... Yikes! ”

Leila was so frightened that she hid in a corner of the room, and her body trembled even more when she saw Su Yuan getting closer.

Seeing this scene, Su Yuan smiled dumbly and said:

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted to know something. You don't need to tell me personally, just ......" Su Yuan's gaze focused on the notebook on Lyra's right, "Just give it to me." ”

"I won't give it!" Leila hugged the notebook, "This is my most important thing!" ”

"More important than your chastity?"

“…… Woo wow wow !!wow ”

Su Yuan easily took the notebook from Laila's chest, who had given up resistance, and said Girl, it is easy for you to misunderstand if you look like this.

No matter what, Su Yuan looked at the notebook and found that he couldn't read it at all. It's not that he can't read English, it's because the handwriting on it can't be described by the word "scribbled", if you don't believe it, you can find a so-called "China expert" in Beijing to see if he can understand the prescription issued by the elderly experts in the hospital, of course he can't understand it, and the doctor's prescription can only be understood by people in the pharmacy. In the same way, Su Yuan felt that only Leila herself could understand this notebook.

(Author's note: I've never read a doctor's prescription, teary-eyed.) ）

Su Yuan gave up.

"Read it to me, start from the beginning."

"Oh, oh...... 'New here, look, here's my ticket, I'm going back to the U.S. soon, where are you going?' Home? Or Japan? Ha ha...... There's no room for you! Go home and interview your parents! 'Damn!! ”

Laila read and read, and stomped her feet angrily, Su Yuan looked a little unbearable, what kind of group of colleagues did she have?

"'Little Leila, I'm going to Japan, don't worry about me, I'm on a mission to interview civilians in the war, it will be safe there. Little Leila, remember, never forget who we are at any time, we are journalists......'"

As she read this, Lyra's eyes sparkled.

"'What a poor little girl, from America? Or is it from Europe? Come in and warm up, but don't freeze outside...... Oh, you're a journalist? Did you see my son when you were outside? He was a Red Army soldier, exactly like his father, and his father's picture was there. Did you see him? It's a shame......'"

This quote comes from an elderly woman who once took care of Leila for a night on her wandering road.

"'Hey, little girl! Where to go when a person runs out so late? The bars around here are closed, don't you know? Damn Prohibition, I haven't drunk vodka in two weeks! The officers above, looking at their treasures, were like treasures left by their ancestors, and they did not intend to take out a drop and share it among their soldiers. Little girl, do you know where to buy wine when you run out alone so late? Even if it's a whisky made from potatoes! God, help me! ’”

This passage comes from a drunken soldier who has been driven mad by alcohol, and it seems that there are many more such people, as Leila reads a lot of similar dialogues next, with the most frequent nouns being "alcohol" and "prohibition".

"I'm done reading ......"

Leila looked at Su Yuan like a prisoner in the courtroom waiting for a final verdict.

"There are no valuable clues, we have long known about Prohibition, the news of the grain failure of the new Soviet Union last year. Although the government tried its best to cover it up, and the news was not reported, the fire could not be contained in the paper, and it was very simple to know as long as you wanted to know. Lan Qing, have you found anything? “

"Remember when we were on the road? We found a lot of empty wine bottles in the trunk of the car, but we didn't find any of the food we needed most, except for some frozen bottled water. ”

Su Yuan's mind immediately remembered the image of them on the highway, when the road was full of abandoned vehicles and large craters left by the explosion of bombs, he and Lu Lanqing smashed open the trunks of the vehicles one by one, and even found bundles and boxes of rubles inside, but did not find even a single bit of food. They would rather keep the money and take the only food left.

"Layla, write it down, the Soviets are short of food, and this bombing attack."

"Yes, yes!"

Su Yuan saw that Leila's pen was flying, and he wrote down three pages of content in less than two minutes, but he was stuck in one place.

"Su Yuan," Leila asked cautiously, "Excuse me, did you do this bombing attack?" Was it against the army of the new USSR? For highways? Or against civilians? ”

"Of course not, we arrived just in time for the bomb to explode, and I don't know who did it. As for the attack itself, it was supposed to be directed against the road. ”

"Oh, thank you......"

Leila scribbled in her notebook again. A minute later.

“O~kay！ My first battlefield interview! ”

———————————————————————————————

In a helicopter gunship with red stars on the sides of the fuselage and tail rotor, a bearded man sits sullenly in the passenger seat, next to the main pilot, whose entire face is covered by a mask.

White searchlights from the nose of the plane illuminated a messy road.

"Lieutenant Sirodov, is this here?"

"That's right! This is it! The bearded man said excitedly, "That's where the enemies of the Soviets sabotage the roads!" They all deserve to be put to death! ”

"Oh, lieutenant, like you, as a staunch supporter of the Soviets, you don't need to say that I know it."

There was no hint of ridicule in the tone of the main driver who couldn't see the face, but the bearded man didn't hear it, and he continued in his angry tone:

"Hmph, they must have run away a long time ago, search for me! Search me all over this one! ”

The main driver did not respond immediately, he waited for the bearded man's anger to subside a little before he said unhurriedly:

"Lieutenant Sirodov, I think you should pay attention to your rhetoric."

The bearded man was stunned as if he had been hit in the chest by a stray bullet.

He remembered that the man in the driver's seat was not his subordinate, and his rank was one step higher than him. He remembered that if the man hadn't been in charge and drove from the station, he and his men might have frozen to death in the snow and ice along with the people.

It was already good that the other party could address him with honorifics, and he was not qualified to speak to him in a commanding tone.

"Let's hover here, the drones we've brought have already dispersed to search for them."

The main pilot took off his mask, stepped out of the driver's seat, and took out a clear bottle from the box stuffed with sponges in the doorway, and half of the liquid in it was still there. He pulled two more glasses out of the box and returned to his seat.

The bearded man's eyes straightened when he saw the glass bottle in the main driver's hand.

"Lieutenant Sirodov, it must be cold after walking outside for so long, right?"

The driver removed the cork, poured a glass of liquid from the glass bottle, handed it to the bearded man, and filled his own glass with the same liquid.

"Lieutenant Sirodov, cheers."

"Good...... Good! Cheers! Hahahahaha!! ”

Lieutenant Sirodov, who had finally drunk the liquid he had always dreamed of, had red eyes and began to talk freely with the main pilot, who also had red eyes.

Talking about the war at the front, their commanders, the speeches made the day before yesterday, the new recruits, the most popular music, the theaters of Moscow, and the girls.

Those "enemies of the Soviets" were completely left behind by them.
