Chapter 180: The General's Wife
Tonya obviously has a heart of admiration, Zheng Dong can feel that he has not forgotten the purpose of this trip, and he does not want to carry more emotional debts in the journey of life.
was about to open her mouth to have a good talk, but she pulled Zheng Dong up, and the folk musician happened to play happy and lively music, playing a bright rhythm of the drum. Tonya surrounded Zheng Dong, her hands on her hips, shaking her shoulders, dancing very similar to Mongolian dances, and her intoxicating eyes never left him.
Looking at the lively and lovely appearance of the girl in front of her, compared to the cold as frost when she first met, at that time she had not yet come out of the shadow of bereavement, Zheng Dong's heart softened, leave her a good thought, or don't say those unhappy words when people are the happiest.
In the early hours of the morning, after the shaman's sacrifice was over, everyone returned to their tents, and Zheng Dong returned to his tent and practiced the exercises in the Supreme Enlightenment Sutra for a while, which not only had basic martial arts but also helped to improve his cultivation.
I don't know the cultivation of the Lord of Space, since he inherited the Dao system of the original Lord of Space who was killed, he is always on guard against the Lord of the existing space, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, his existence is a threat, Zheng Dong does not want to sit still, he seizes all the time to improve himself, but now the cultivation of the peak of Zijin makes any of his efforts like Jingwei reclamation, and the progress of improvement is untraceable.
Other ways to improve cultivation are the kind of life-and-death duel that occurs when encountering the same level or high level, he can strongly feel the rapid improvement of cultivation, and the fight with the big snake once again feels the rapid growth of cultivation, but unfortunately the cultivation of the big snake is two levels lower than Zheng Dong, and the vigorous feeling when this kind of power surges quickly calms down.
After practicing, he sat down cross-legged, and used his heart to go deep into the vast world and sense the vitality of all things in the world, as if taking himself as the origin, emitting hundreds of millions of thin spiritual tentacles, stretching out in all directions, no matter how faint the light was, how distant the sound, he could touch it, but the feedback signal received was strong and weak.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came straight to his tent, the door of his tent was open, it was for the purpose of practice, Zheng Dong was instantly alert, lay down and waited for someone to come, wanting to see who came to the door in the middle of the night.
You can hear the person who came to take off his shoes outside the tent, and after coming in, he closed the zipper, and the tent was filled with a milky smell, and brought in some cold, this smell seemed to have smelled a few times, and before he could react, a slender and plump body burrowed into his bed, Tonya!
Zheng Dong didn't like sleeping bags, and he was covered with two layers of thick quilts, so he let her succeed, so that she could easily get in, curled up with her back to Zheng Dong, and said first: "I'm cold, borrow your bed to keep warm." ”
Zheng Dong sighed helplessly, acquiesced, and Tonya rubbed into his arms again, leaned closer, and pulled one of his hands in his arms, although through the clothes, everything that could be reached was soft and elastic, "Okay, don't move, if you do this again, I'll get up." ”
"Oh." Tonya replied aggrievedly.
Zheng Dong is not Yanashita Hui, and he doesn't want to be ambiguous, he has already made his own lustful character for the ubiquitous master of space, but he doesn't want to make more bad relationships, after all, Dong Niya is still young, and she will have the happiness she should have in the future.
Tonya may have been really tired, and soon fell asleep motionless, still holding Zheng Dong's hand tightly, Zheng Dong couldn't stop being sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
------
The next day, Zheng Dong took everyone to the agreed place, on a rock protruding into the lake on the shore of Lake Baikal, the shaman arranged the site, made a strange pattern with feathers, stones, and animal bones, and two assistants slaughtered a live sheep next to it, and the shaman took out the heart of the live sheep and put it in the center of the pattern.
He held a drum hammer in one hand and a tambourine in the other, and began to surround the pattern, dancing and chanting words at the same time, something surprising to everyone happened, the temperature around him dropped rapidly, just now it was still blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, and in the blink of an eye, the clouds were thick, and the snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Lev and the others began to rub their hands, stomped their feet on the spot and complained, "It's too cold." ”
You must know that the Russians have one of the best cold resistance in the world, and minus 20 degrees Celsius is called normal temperature weather for them.
However, one of the team members looked at his watch with a thermometer and exclaimed, "It's minus 40 degrees Celsius, and it's still ------ dropping."
Two of the shaman's assistants lit a huge firewood beside him, and the raging flames immediately raised the temperature of the surrounding area. Except for Zheng Dong and the shaman, everyone present consciously leaned in, and the team member who looked at the thermometer opened his eyes wide and said, "It's minus sixty degrees, sixty degrees." ”
Tonya was still stamping her feet from the cold as she stood by the fire, and she shouted, "Zheng Dong, come here." ”
Zheng Dong smiled and waved at her, and continued to stay with the shaman in the venue of the sacrifice ceremony.
The snowflakes were large and dense, hanging on Zheng Dong's hair and eyebrows, and Zheng Dong noticed a team coming in the distance. This time there were soldiers and officers in Tsarist uniforms, bishops, monks and nuns in robes, men, women and children in precious ermine furs.
They were like moving zombies, struggling to move step by step, and some people shouted hoarsely: "Hurry up, you can't stop, you will freeze to death if you stop." ”
The shaman's spell worked, and the remnants of Kolchak's army crossed Lake Baikal.
Zheng Dong jumped off the rock, his feet landed on the frozen solid ice, the ice on the lake was shining, and he was almost unable to stand, and he walked into the long line, almost hitting a person, who passed through his body.
The images were so real that even their conversation could be heard clearly, sadness, pain, sighs, whispers, hatred, indignation were the emotions he was here with, and everyone was walking their own way with their heads bowed.
"Come back soon, Zheng Dong, it's seventy degrees, you will freeze to death." Tonya's shouts rang from the rocks, and Lev repeated Tonya's words.
Zheng Dong waved at them, indicating that he was fine, and continued to search the crowd for the general's wife, the pregnant woman in a military coat with a military coat and a military coat with a medal. Searching and searching, he noticed that the footsteps of the people around him began to stagnate, some sat down, and then their pupils dilated, and some stood still, and the hoarfrost was instantly covered with his tired face.
There was a noble lady wearing a mink fur, the child she was holding in her arms was already lifeless, and she was holding a cute little girl like a porcelain doll looking up at her mother, blinking her eyelashes with frosty noodles, "Mom, I'm cold, I can't walk." ”
The little girl stiffened upright, closing her pretty eyes forever. The mother didn't take another step, squatted down, kissed her, hugged the child, and gradually froze with the child. A man turned his head and saw the mother and son, a tear flowed out of his eyes, instantly frozen into ice beads, he dropped the two large suitcases in his hand, turned back, squatted down and hugged them.
They should be family.
Zheng Dong watched more and more people being frozen into ice sculptures, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, but how difficult it is to find a person in the team of more than 200,000 people, a pregnant woman, under such conditions, is very likely to walk behind, he decided to look forward from the back of the team.
His judgment was right, and almost at the end of the procession, he saw a noblewoman in a military overcoat, whose overcoat could not be buttoned due to her belly bulging high, and she was crying for help, "Help me, help me, I'm about to give birth." ”
But both soldiers and civilians who passed by him were expressionless and silently moving forward in the raging wind and snow, and no one paid attention to her.
Zheng Dong suddenly thought that Andre gave him a mobile phone, and in order to be able to contact him at any time, he immediately took it out and prepared to record the image of the major general's wife.
The lady lay on her side, crying out heartbreakingly, waiting for the delivery, and at last, she had no strength to cry, but endured it with a painful expression, and after a while, taking a general's saber from her felt boots, throwing off its scabbard, and holding it in her hand, her frowning brow suddenly relaxed.
The child cried "wow", only once, and his voice could no longer be heard at this time.
The mother, wielding a sword, cut off the umbilical cord, held the bloody child in her arms, untied her clothes, and wanted the child to eat a mouthful of milk, and soon the child and the mother's bodies froze together, she muttered to herself: "Pedrov, our child is a boy, you said that if it is a boy, it will be called Leonid, as brave as a lion, I will take the child away first, my dear Pedrov, goodbye ------"
The most beautiful ice sculptures of mothers and children in the world remain on the ice of Lake Baikal.
Zheng Dong's tears also formed two strings of ice beads hanging on his cheeks in the wind and snow, completely recording what happened to their mother and son.
More than 200,000 people froze to death on the ice of Lake Baikal, and the last posture of these people a hundred years ago is still in their last posture, the ice under their feet is beginning to show signs of melting, and the white frost on their bodies is gradually disappearing.
Tonya and Lev and others also came to Zheng Dong's side, everything in front of them shocked them incomparably, although they watched the video, it was really like being there, Lev and their special forces had received an education in Russian military history, and they didn't expect the content of the textbook to be reproduced in front of them, and they were more strongly impacted.
Lev took off his hat, and the team members also took off their hats, bowed their heads in silence to these people who died a hundred years ago, and invariably ran out of bullets from a magazine with the muzzle of their guns up.
The ice showed signs of cracking, and Zheng Dong said, "Let's go." ”
When they came ashore, the lake completely melted, and the group of ice sculptures composed of more than 200,000 people quietly disappeared from view and sank to the bottom of the lake.
It's all gone.
