Li Xiaofeng looked out the window at the rapidly retreating forest and yawned boredly, he had been on this slow train for a day and a night, and the leisurely and almost boring journey reminded him of the scene in the previous life when he was guarding the communication room at Nantianmen. His nerves, which had been strained by the revolution, suddenly relaxed, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"How far is it from Helsinki?" He asked, yawning.

Eriksen, who also felt tortured by time, replied anxiously: "We have just left the city of Vyborg, and there is still more than half the journey waiting for us!" ”

"What!" Li Xiaofeng jumped to his feet, he didn't want to waste another day or two on this slow train, he was already tired of it.

Konstantin looked up from the pile of drawings and said with a smile: "Andrea, you are still so frizzy and have no patience at all. You should be glad that our train has been running for an hour, which is a good sign! ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed, and sat back on his bed dejectedly, indeed, this damn turtle train finally ran for a full hour for the first time, in the previous day and night, they were forced to stop once in an average of twenty minutes, it was not that the train had mechanical problems, this train was very well maintained, except for a little overload, everything was normal.

It was the social issues that really shattered the journey, with the strikes of the railway workers, the desertion of the wrenchers, the swarming of refugees stopping the trains, and the most hilarious of all, their radical drivers answering the call of the revolution and leaving behind the passengers in Vyborg to join the tide of the revolution.

Now, even if the bandits came to rob the train, Li Xiaofeng would not be surprised, anyway, in the tide of revolution, any strange thing could happen. This also made him feel that the revolution was too annoying for the first time since he crossed over.

"Looks like you don't like revolutions either, do you?"

Li Xiaofeng raised his head, and the middle-aged man sleeping on the sleeper opposite looked at him with a smile. For this new friend with a military temperament, Li Xiaofeng can't talk about liking or disliking, in fact, he and the other party have never said a word, except for living in the same box, the two sides have no intersection. And the age gap is not small, the middle-aged looks almost fifty years old, and Li Xiaofeng is not even twenty years old, the thirty-year gap is enough to produce a generation gap, they almost do not have a common topic, but this middle-aged man found Li Xiaofeng.

"Where do you see that I don't like revolution?" Li Xiaofeng laughed in his heart.

The middle-aged man said with a straight look: "Although you didn't say anything, I can see that you are very anxious, and seem to hate this trip very much, and you miss your country very much, and frequently pay attention to every newspaper you can find." ”

"So what?" Li Xiaofeng did not think that the above would lead to the conclusion that he hated revolution.

The middle-aged man smiled and said slowly: "So I came to the conclusion that you were forced to flee your hometown and prepare to go into exile. Like those fleeing outside, you definitely won't like the revolution that caused it all. ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled, smiling very happily, and then the middle-aged man also smiled, and he asked with interest: "I'm right!" ”

"Nope! Couldn't be more wrong! Li Xiaofeng cleared his throat and said, "Although your observation is very detailed, I can't help but say that you missed something!" And these will make you come to completely different conclusions! ”

The middle-aged man asked incredulously, "What am I missing?" ”

"Resentment!" Li Xiaofeng emphasized, pointing to Erikson, who was walking around outside the box, and said: "It is not the revolution that annoys me, but the guy outside who is more anxious than me, and it is because of him that I have to get on this damn train and have to endure the torture of boredom!" If I could, I'd like to turn around and go back to Russia! ”…,

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, as if judging whether someone was telling the truth or a lie, to be honest, in order to pass the boring time, he had observed the young man for a long time, and thought that he had figured out the psychology of the other party. He couldn't believe that his analysis and judgment had been wrong, and it was a blow to him who was extremely confident.

"But from your words, I have analyzed a lot of things!" Li Xiaofeng said suddenly.

The middle-aged man became more and more curious, he had never seen such an interesting young man, and he asked, "What do you see?" ”

Li Xiaofeng wrenched his fingers and said, "First, you are a Finn......

The middle-aged man smiled and said disapprehantly: "It's very simple, my Russian has a Finnish accent. People can't change their native sound, can they? He shrugged his shoulders and emphasized, "It's simple......"

"Second, you are a soldier, to be specific, you should be a cavalryman and have a high position."

The middle-aged man smiled again: "This is a bit surprising to me, you can see it from my walking posture and military temperament, right?" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't care at all and continued: "Third, you are the one who really hates revolution. ”

The middle-aged man finally stopped smiling and asked curiously, "How did you see it?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a straight look: "You are a Finn who served in the Russian army, a high-ranking officer. What is it that allows you to leave your soldiers behind at a critical juncture of war and travel thousands of miles to your hometown? The answer is simple, only revolution! ”

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and smiled: "This only shows that I care about the revolution, doesn't it?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled: "You don't care about the revolution, you are afraid of the revolution!" You are very worried about the impact of this revolution on Russia and Finland, and you are worried that it will completely disrupt your beloved country and homeland! Would such a person like revolution? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head as a matter of course: "Of course such a person will not like revolution!" After a pause, he asked meaningfully, "Sir, to be honest, I'm curious about you. I always thought that young people like you were more interested in young and beautiful girls. ”

This time it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to pout: "Probably you are still old thinking, but there are many young people who care about politics and are enthusiastic about revolution today......"

The middle-aged man shook his head and interrupted: "No, you are different from those guys who talk rhetorically, they only know the same people as they are, they only know the chatter and shouts of the Tao, act impulsively and recklessly, and have no achievements at all!" With all due respect, are you also a revolutionary? ”

"That's right!" Li Xiaofeng didn't think there was anything worth keeping secret, "I like revolution!" Rejoice to see the revolutionary frenzy coming! ”

"What an astonishment!" The middle-aged man raised his voice, "I can see that your family background is very good, and you also pay attention to the joy of life, how can a person like you be a revolutionary?" Don't you know what they want to do? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I know very well what they want to do!" ”

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Then how can you agree to this absurd so-called revolutionary act, which is a trampling on order, a sabotage in the pure sense!" ”

"Isn't it bad to destroy?" Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically.

The middle-aged man screamed, "How can destruction be good! I love my hometown and my fellow citizens, and I will never allow ......"

Li Xiaofeng suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped the middle-aged man's generous statement, and said calmly: "I thought you were a person who really loves Finland, but it seems that you are not!" ”

"It's ridiculous......"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, Li Xiaofeng stopped him again: "A patriot who truly loves Finland must be happy to see Tsarist Russia collapse...... The collapse of an empire often means the birth of many new nations! Don't you want to see a new Finland completely freed from Russian domination and won full independence? ”…,

The middle-aged man was speechless, he certainly understood how important independence was to Finland, Finland had never been a powerful country, they had been ruled by the Swedes for a long time, and then in 1809 the rule was handed over to the Tsar, independence and freedom were a luxury for a weak Finland. But the young man in front of him says that the disgusting violent bloodshed revolution can bring Finland a autonomy that it has not had for thousands of miles. He was tempted to say that it was a joke, but from the recent news it had been obtained, Russian rule over Finland had been greatly weakened. Does this seem to foreshadow some kind of hope?

"You saw that too, didn't you?" Li Xiaofeng continued, "The Tsar's empire has come to a close discernment, and the lands that were once conquered by this behemoth have unexpectedly gained elusive autonomy. I think that soon, including Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland will all have the possibility of gaining independence...... It is the sabotage of the revolution that has done something that you have not been able to do for hundreds of years, so what reason do you have to hate the revolution? ”

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiaofeng dumbfounded, and muttered, "Is it really possible?" But he soon came to his senses: "Even so, this revolution could bring fierce confrontation, with great bloodshed and sacrifice!" ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "Do you think people can get something for nothing? ”

The middle-aged man fell into deep thought again, and after a long time he said, "Although I am very reluctant to admit that you have a point, it is true! ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled happily: "So, like me, have you started to like the revolution?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said heavily: "Although I long for the independence of the nation and the country, the fearless vendetta and bloodshed make me unacceptable. All I can say is that you are cruel, and as you say, why would you welcome a revolution that would tear Russia apart? Is this good for Russia? Don't you love your homeland? ”

Why should I love Russia? Li Xiaofeng was very disdainful in his heart, and what Mao Zi brought to the Chinese was not a good memory, let alone facing Tsarist Russia. For a certain immortal, the only thing that makes sense to him is that a new Bolshevik Russia can bring him greater good, while the old Tsarist Russia cannot! This was the only reason why he loved the revolution.
