40. Chapter XXXIX
"Xiang Jia has moved away early!"
Xiang Hongzhe was born in a small village on the border of the northern country, with snow all year round and the world is vast. Cui Qi's off-road vehicle was stuck in the snow three miles earlier, and when they got out of the car and looked around, there was no one on the empty snowfield, and under the magnificent sky were four small humans who were in a hurry because the car was stuck in the snow.
Although there was a signal on the mobile phone, the control center said that the weather was bad and the road was inconvenient and they could not immediately send a tow truck. As a last resort, the four of them carried bags and some food and began to call for help on foot. Three miles from the SUV, they found a family.
The northern man was angry, and after hearing about the breakdown of Zheng Yong's car, he made a phone call, and two snow trucks carrying more than a dozen young men with tools came to help.
"Where's the car?" A bearded head poked out of the first car.
"Three miles away, come on, come on, come with us to the trailer!" The man beckoned Zheng Yong to get on the second snowmobile: "The woman and the child are waiting at home, let's go and tow the car back!" ”
The man's wife beckoned Mrs. Zheng and the two children to hurry into the house to warm up.
"Which way is Xiangjia Village going?" After chatting a few words, Mrs. Zheng asked her about Xiang Hongzhe's former residence, but she didn't want the woman to shake her head vigorously.
"You're also here to find Xiang's family? It's long gone. ”
This answer is obviously unexpected.
"Pretty normal, isn't it? The son made money, and the couple followed their son to enjoy happiness. ”
"Didn't the house they lived in stay?" Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"What are you left behind! The pimple that has been crushed by the snow for a few years has been crushed by the people, and you have to look to the north, and the one that collapsed next to the river is. ”
"Where did Xiang Hongzhe skate before?" Cui Qi interjected and asked.
"What a skate! It's all on TV, right? A foreign old man came and bought the youngest son of the Xiang family for 3,000 yuan! ”
"What?" Completely different from the news media reports, the three people listening to it screamed in unison.
"Just bluff you outsiders, we all know in this village, and everyone who wants to go to the family has gone to drill money! 3,000 yuan was sold to a foreign old man, but when his son returned to China and appeared on TV, he recognized the son to his family again! I heard that there is a prize money to win the prize, and the dead money rat rushed to the national capital to find someone! took tens of thousands of dollars back to the village to show off, and when the money ran out, he went to the country to ask for money! If you want me to say that the son of the Xiang family really died well! Save yourself from looking at his parents' stinky faces! ”
"How can you say that!" was said to be "good dead" Cui Qi could still be more restrained, Zheng Ke slapped the table and called the board: "Do you know that he is our country's first figure skating gold medal!" First World Championship Gold Medal! Do you have a sense of national pride! ”
"Zheng Ke! Sit down! Mrs. Zheng hurriedly suppressed Zheng Xiaofat: "The child is too excited! However, the apology did not say a word.
"What does it have to do with us?" The other party shook his face and was obviously unhappy: "If you make money, you won't give it to the village, what kind of gold medal!" ”
Cui Qi and the three of them were simply shocked by each other's divine logic. Mrs. Zheng was about to leave with her two children, and she would rather wait outside than live with such a person.
"Whatever you want! If you love cold, you will go cold! The woman was also angry, and as soon as the door was closed, the three of them were separated from each other.
Fortunately, Zheng Yong came back quickly, and the off-road vehicle came from a distance, and as soon as he stopped in front of the door, Zheng Yong hurriedly beckoned the three of them to get in the car and leave.
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and get in the car! ”
Cui Qi was still curious about where the two snowmobiles called by the righteous man went, but he didn't want his stepfather to scold him as soon as he opened his mouth.
“MD! It costs 2,000 to tow a car, and it kills people! ”
Cui Qi: "......" His only thought is that a pot with a lid, this family is really right.
In the end, I still went to Hongzhe's former residence according to the original plan, and the dilapidated houses were backlogged with layers of snow, and the half-human-high withered yellow weeds covered a layer of fine ice edges, which looked like layers of edelweiss rolling and swaying in the cold wind.
Everyone was disappointed, and there was silence in the car on the way back.
took advantage of the excitement and returned disappointed, as soon as he got home, Cui Qi locked himself in the room and pondered the characters of the script, and there was no way to find it, he had to play Xiang Hongzhe well in the first movie.
"Have you found your home? What about the house? What kind of house did Xiang Hongzhe live in when he was a child? How is his family? Is there anything fun? Did you hear anything that no one else knew about? "It's not as good as Cui Qi and Zheng Yong can rent a car, but Wang Chengjue's team of high school students doesn't have this condition, and in the end, a few people went around the major cities in the Northeast to look at the ice lanterns and failed to go to Cheng Xiang Hongzhe's former residence. Wang Chengjue came back later than Cui Qi, and as soon as he came back, he asked Cui Qi if he had taken a photo of what he saw, but he received a photo of a broken house, and the whole person was not good.
"What is this house? Don't sue sù I'm Xiang Hongzhe's former residence! ”
Cui Qi told what he had seen and heard in the Northeast, and Wang Chengjue only replied after listening to it: "I don't believe it!" I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe I don't believe! I just don't believe it! Cui Qi was speechless and hung up the phone directly, but three days later he called again, saying that he was going to take Cui Qi to meet a biographical reporter.
"Xiang Hongzhe's biographer?" The reporter's name is Zhang Chen, and he lives in the provincial capital, and Wang Chengjue contacted his grandfather's network. It only takes half an hour to get to the provincial high-speed rail in Wangdu, Wang Chengjue bought a round-trip ticket, and he went back on the same day, and he could catch up with the meal, this time Yuchun didn't stop him.
"Yes, yes, he used to be a sports reporter specializing in ice skating, and he left TV a few years ago to write books at home." As soon as Wang Chengjue said the news he received, Cui Qi immediately understood. But when it comes to biography, in fact, he has always had something to care about, even Xiao Yu has a biographical novel, and Xiang Hongzhe, as the first person to skate, has no one to write it, which is really puzzling.
"I don't know, I'll ask later!" After getting off the high-speed rail, Wang Chengjue called a taxi and went straight to the destination.
Zhang Chen writes at home on weekdays, and he was very happy to see two young men running over from afar to ask him about Xiang Hongzhe. Wang Chengjue knew that he had actually gone around in a circle after two or three people, but Zhang Chen knew that he was Professor Su's grandson, and said that he had a relationship with Professor Su or something before, and asked him how Professor Su was, he thought at first that Wang Chengjue and the two of them were here for the school project, and also asked Wang Chengjue why he liked Xiang Hongzhe and what he knew about Xiang Hongzhe, but when he heard that Cui Qi was the actor of Xiang Hongzhe in Song Ling's new film "Flying", the whole person immediately became strict.
"This has to be done well, it must be performed well!" Zhang Chen straightened his glasses and went into the study to bring out a lot of materials.
"There are a lot of interview notes and materials in it that year, and there are precious materials that are not available in the sports museum," Zhang Chen found a few interviews that he was particularly proud of to show the two of them: "This article, because it involved some sensitive topics, was not published, and I have been hiding it." ”
"Uncle Zhang, I'm actually curious about Xiang Hongzhe, was he really sold to Edward Schoen by his family?"
"You've been to the North?" Zhang Chen really deserves to be an expert on Xiang Hongzhe, and even judged the source when he heard Wang Chengjue's words.
Wang Chengjue looked at Cui Qi, and Cui Qi nodded: "I have been there, and I have a look at Xiang Hongzhe's former residence." ”
"It's not a former residence," Zhang Chen shook his head: "Xiang Hongzhe only lived there for 3 years, he was brought to Russia by Edward Schönn when he was three years old, and he never went back. ”
"Isn't it German?" Wang Chengjue asked.
Zhang Chen shook his head: "Edward Schöne originally only came to the Celestial Empire for tourism," he gestured to draw a rudimentary map of the world on the glass coffee table with tea, and drew a straight line between the Germans and the Celestial Empire with his index finger: "But in the middle of the trip, he received an invitation from his friend Piustovsky, who planned to take the Sino-Russian high-speed train directly north to Moscow." Zhang Chen drew a straight line between the Celestial Empire and Russia.
"What about Xiang Hongzhe?" Cui Qi was very surprised, if he took the high-speed train directly across the border, how Edward Schelln met Xiang Hongzhe.
"There was an accident at that time," Zhang Chen drew a circle near Xiang Hongzhe's village: "Edward Schoen got off at this station back then," Seeing the two children full of doubts Zhang Chen smiled: "I went to check the weather reports of this place in recent years, according to my guess, it may have been because of the snowstorm that the train could not continue to move forward, Edward Schoen suddenly got off the train, and then met Xiang Hongzhe by mistake." ”
Having heard of the harsh snowstorm in the north, Cui Qi and Wang Chengjue nodded in agreement.
"Oh, that's not right!" However, Wang Chengjue first reacted to a very important question here: "Edward Schelln spent 3,000 yuan to buy Xiang Hongzhe, what about Xiang Hongzhe's household registration?" How was he taken out of the country? ”
"Good question!" Zhang Chen nodded: "The Edward-Schönton Guò adoption relationship allowed Xiang Hongzhe to join the Germanic nationality. Seeing the two children's eyes widen, he continued: "Xiang Hongzhe later followed Edward Schoen back to Germany, and his initiation in figure skating began after arriving in Germany. ”
"And after that?" Cui can't wait to know the story after that.
"Edward Schoen was 78 years old when he met Xiang Hongzhe, as a former athlete, although his body has always been healthy, natural aging is irresistible, at the age of 83, Edward Schoen passed away peacefully, and Xiang Hongzhe was 8 years old at this time." Zhang Chen's voice was a little low, and Cui Qi and Wang Chengjue couldn't help but feel heavy when they listened to it.
Before his death, Edward Schoen called Piustovsky, hoping that his friend would accept Xiang Hongzhe and support him to continue his skating training, and Piustovsky immediately agreed. Unfortunately, a year before Edward Schoen's death, Piustovsky was lying in a hospital bed for many years due to serious illness, and he also died shortly after Edward Schoen's death, so it was Piustovsky's son, Joey, who actually trained and raised Xiang Hongzhe. ”
History that had never been heard of was presented in front of the two of them, Cui Qi and Wang Chengjue couldn't help but slow down their breathing and quietly listened to Zhang Chen's story of being hidden.
