Chapter 84. Explorer's advice

Previous Chapter

"Uh, that's what you're talking about?"

A middle-aged man dressed in an explorer's costume slowly lowered his head, with a little strange look in his eyes, especially looking at the dozen or so people who were covered in dirt, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled softly: "A very good story, this sounds like a lot of fun." ”

"Story?" A dirty guy in front of him was doing it, looking like a fleeing refugee, dirty and dusty, even in his hair and nails. But there was a calm look on his face, and he looked up at the explorer, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "This is not a story. ”

"It's amazing that stories come from life."

"And then met us?"

The dirty guy lowered his head and smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness, he turned his head to look, and the dozen or so people behind him were also dirty and embarrassed, he turned his head again, shook his head bitterly and smiled: "This is simply an unbearable day, I just want to think how beautiful this is a dream." ”

"Dreams? Perhaps. ”

With the same smile, the explorer looked at the dirty fellow, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he played with the cane in his hand, it seemed to be boring to knock on the ground, but it also seemed to be contemplative, after a while, he looked up at the dirty fellow and said, "A few days ago, maybe a week, I also saw a young man who is about the same as you. ”

"A young man like me?"

The dirty guy looked up at the explorer slightly, his dirty face with obvious disbelief, and gently reached out to brush his hair, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and asked him, "Is there anyone else like me?" ”

Running back his messy hair, his face was obviously a little clearer, especially for the explorer, who was a young man in his twenties. But for some, this young man is precisely the one who was once enthusiastic and passionate as if he was the overthrower of the old society, Naryshkin!

The explorer's words obviously attracted the interest of the dozen or so young people around him, who had been sitting in a group, but also moved a few times in this direction, turning to look at the explorer, wanting to know who it was, who could be as embarrassed as they were.

"No, no, no, you seem to have misunderstood my words, and it seems that my expression is not sufficient."

The explorer shook his head slightly, looked at the dozen or so dirty young men in front of him, and finally looked at Naryshkin, the smile on his lips became more and more high, and the cane in his hand tapped lightly on the ground, and he spoke: "That's the same young man, he is more energetic than you. ”

"Sir, but who is he?"

Naryshkin looked at the explorer, but his eyes couldn't help but open slightly, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly. The hot blood in his chest had already cooled, or the blood was already extremely cold now, he was like a walking corpse, but he still wanted to know who that young man was referring to, he was very curious.

"He had an axe in his hand and there were blood stains on it, and I didn't ask carefully because I saw that he was not in a stable spirit."

Smiling lightly, the explorer looked at Naryshkin's tightly clenched hand, and couldn't help but sigh slowly: "It seems that he seems to be in trouble, basically as big as yours, but in his eyes there is more of a certain belief, I think you used to understand." ”

"Faith? Oh, yes... I used to know..."

Naryshkin smiled slowly, as if he had heard some funny joke, but in the end he laughed and even tears fell, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but his voice was a little hoarse and said slowly: "Maksimovich, I know him, the wanted man who killed a Soviet beast officer with an axe." He paused, but still bowed his head and whispered: "A hero like Levsky." ”

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and the explorer raised his head to look at Naryshkin, his face suddenly took on a somewhat serious look, he nodded and asked slowly: "Can you tell me something, that Levsky?" Listen to you, this seems to be a remarkable person. ”

"Amazing? More than that's amazing! ”

Naryshkin glanced at the group of partners behind him who all bowed their heads, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he gently reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the explorer in front of him, and said softly: "He was one of the first heroes to resist the Soviets, and he led the Ukrainians to their own path." ”

"He's a... Woo, that's what you call a counter-revolutionary? ”

The explorer's eyes shrank instantly, he looked at Naryshkin in front of him, but he couldn't help but gently hit the ground with the cane in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said with interest: "This is really surprising, how can socialism have such people?" ”

Standing up gently, he couldn't help but shake his waist, and he continued to beat the ground with his cane, as if it was beating the excitement in his heart. The explorer turned to look at Naryshkin and asked softly, "It's incredible. ”

"No, he is not a counter-revolutionary, a real socialist revolutionary!"

Shaking his head, Naryshkin couldn't help but clench his fists, especially looking at the explorer in front of him, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I used to regard him as my idol, and I used to follow him. With tears still in the corners of his eyes, he slowly shook his head and said, "But it always was." ”

"I'd love to meet this Mr. Levsky."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the explorer nodded slightly, and the mustache on the corner of his mouth became more and more high, especially when he turned his head to look at the distance of the forest, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a moment, and finally smiled: "It's getting dark, I think you should also leave here." He smiled and pointed into the distance, and said to Naryshkin: "As I suggested to you, you might try it over there." “

"But we've betrayed them once."

Naryshkin narrowed his eyes slightly, he took a deep breath, the cool breath almost seemed to shock his spirit, but his face was still bitter, he looked at the explorer, and said softly: "Is it really supposed to be like this?" ”。

"It's okay, you can go back, that's my suggestion, I think it's in line with the situation."

Looking at the dozen or so figures in front of him, the explorer had a smile on his lips, but he walked towards the depths of the woods next to him, and waved his hand at them at the same time, just saying: "I am a writer, looking for the subject matter of the story, my advice, you may be able to think for yourself." ”

"Thinking?". Looking at the explorer who had gone into the depths of the forest and disappeared, Naryshkin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then he looked up at the young men around him, first stood up and said: "Let's go." After a pause, he met the puzzled and frightened eyes of these people, and he nodded, "Let's go over there." ”
