Chapter 55: Winter in Russia (1)

1919, October Revolution Day.

"Qin ...... Why do you speak German? ”

In the tent of the ultra-deep drilling base on the Kola Peninsula, engineer Vasily is interrogating the "Visitors from Hell".

"I grew up in the German Concession in Tianjin, China, and my father worked at Deutsche Bank. Sir, if you can find a Chinese translator, I would be happy to speak Chinese to you. ”

"Why are you underground?"

At this time, Qin Beiyang must not hesitate, otherwise he will be judged as a spy.

Taking advantage of the time when he was taking a bath just now, he had already made up an answer in his heart - even if he sacrificed his life, he could not leak the existence of the Atlantis Continent and the World Tree, in case he attracted humans on the ground, it would bring devastating damage to the underground Pure Land.

"Two years ago, China entered the world war and sent tens of thousands of laborers to the European battlefield. When I was only seventeen years old, I went to France to build railways and trenches. Thinking that I would be able to go home after the war, I was sent on a ship to the port of Murmansk in the Arctic to help the Allies build their barracks. My dog was picked up in France, and my knife was stolen in Murmansk. I had to have this dog and this knife to help me escape from the Allied barracks. ”

"Why did you escape?"

"Because when I was building railways in France, I heard about the great October Revolution in Russia, and I longed for it very much. By the way, I'll speak a few simple words of French, if you don't believe me. ”

As soon as he uttered a few French words, he was stopped by Vasily: "My question is, why are you 12,000 meters underground?" ”

"A month ago, I escaped from Murmansk with my dog. But the Kola Peninsula was so inhospitable that I got lost and accidentally fell into a deep well. Luckily, there were many holes and crevices in the middle, and the dog and I found a hiding place halfway through. But I couldn't climb up again, so I had to go down in search of water and food, or I would die of thirst. I was lucky enough to finally find clean spring water and even mushrooms underneath. Yes, very tasty mushrooms, I survived. I held out until the drill bit came down, Comrade Vasily, thank you for saving me. ”

At the moment of life and death, Qin Beiyang made up the story without changing his face, and secretly admired himself in his heart.

Vasily said with a serious expression: "Do you think I will believe this set of myths? ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Qin Beiyang looked at the nine colors, the sky was still bright, and it couldn't transform into a young Qilin Town tomb beast.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had read Karl Marx's pamphlet "The Communist Manifesto" in the original German at the Third High School in Kyoto, Japan, and he began to recite the famous opening line: "Ein Gespenstgeht um in Europa - das Gespenst des Kommunismus. AlleM?chte des alten Europa habensichzueinerheiligenHetzjagdgegen dies Gespenst verbündet, der Papst und der Zar, Metternich und Guizot, franz?sischeRadikale und deutsche Polizisten.”

Vasily understood the German: "A ghost, the specter of communism, roams Europe. For the sake of the sacred encirclement of this spectre, all the powers of old Europe, the Pope and the Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, the radicals in France and the police in Germany, were united. ”

The specialty of memory and recitation finally saved Qin Beiyang's life.

"Welcome to Soviet Russia." Vasily stamped a stamp on the document that decided the life and death of Qin Beiyang, "The Soviets will arrange a suitable place for you to stay!" ”

Before parting, Qin Beiyang asked another question: "Comrade Vasily, do you know ancient Greek?" ”

"I know a thing or two, I have studied in Orthodox church schools and studied the Bible in the Greek text."

Qin Beiyang wrote a line of text -

Γν?θι σαυτ?ν

When he spent time in the underworld, he came to the bottom of the cliff and found an ancient Greek skeleton carved into it.

“Erkenne dich selbst.”

Vasily uttered a phrase in German that means "know thyself!" ”

It turns out that the ancient Greek explorer sage also saw the great Odin? Have you even spied on the truth of the universe?

"This is a famous quote by Socrates, originally an inscription on the temple of Delphi on Mount Olympus in ancient Greece."

Vasily explained again, and Qin Beiyang smiled and shook his head: "No, this is an older proverb!" ”

Walking out of the camp of Kora's ultra-deep drilling, Nine Colors was waiting for him. This small town grave beast that swallowed a lot of heavy metal slag also knew to roll on the snow and dead grass repeatedly to keep it clean so as not to annoy its owner.

It saw the deer.

The reindeer, the two Sami children, with their large, bifurcated antlers, were so close to the nine colors that they almost came up to touch their noses. The eyes of the two children were as blue as the Arctic ice sea, and their hair was almost pale gold, but they had faces that resembled Mongols and Russians, with large faces and small noses. Originally from Asia but living in the northernmost part of Europe, they are blonde Asians who have been raising reindeer in the Arctic Circle for thousands of years, reminding him of Odin lying in an ice coffin.

Qin Beiyang greedily breathed the air on the earth's surface, looked up at the sky that was so clear that it was almost transparent, grabbed the snow and rubbed it on his face to melt. But he doesn't know where to go? How can I get back to China, 20,000 miles away?

He had a hunch that Anna was still alive, and that she and the others had escaped from the isolated island of the Arctic ice. Qin Beiyang wants to go back to China to find her.

A truck ran over the ice field, and a Russian in military uniform, who spoke simple German, jumped out and invited Qin Beiyang and Jiuse into the truck.

Passing through the wilderness of northern Russia, in addition to the tundra is a large forest, and occasionally you will see a few small wooden houses. A vast and sparsely populated country. After three bumpy days and three nights, the truck drove into the great Moscow in the snow. Qin Beiyang woke up from his slumber and saw the frozen Moscow River, the Kremlin's red star spire, the wide Red Square, and the Basilica Ascension Cathedral with several onion-headed spires.

At No. 11 Lubyanka Street, in the courtyard of a heavily guarded and fortified building, Qin Beiyang passed the review of the "Cheka".

Qin Beiyang was put on another train and locked up in stuffy tank cars until the Ural mountains.

In the cold winter of the interior of Russia, the temperature was minus 20 degrees, Qin Beiyang was wearing a torn coat, shivering from the cold, holding his nine colors, and silently reciting in his heart, "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." ”

He was sent to an isolated village, unable to communicate with the outside world, otherwise he would have sent a telegram to China a long time ago, at least to know if Ouyang Anna and Qi Yuanshan were dead or alive?

Geography books say that the Ural Mountains are the dividing line between Eurasia. He and Nine Colors live in an abandoned cabin, but fortunately there is a fireplace to keep warm. He worked with the peasants every day to cut wood, worked hard to learn the Russian language, and spent his days "Harasao", "Die Brazil", "Dava Interest", "Dopoleekin", ...... Luckily, he has a basic knowledge of German and can easily pronounce small and large tongue sounds.

Qin Beiyang had a Russian name "Georgi", just like his German name, Matthias. It's not that he didn't think about escaping, but in a no-man's land within a radius of several hundred kilometers, he either froze to death or was eaten by wolves.

Wolf.

This winter was also flooded, and the wolves became more and more emboldened, attacking the village frequently. Next door to Qin Beiyang's cabin, a little girl from a family was taken away by a wolf. The people searched for three days with shotguns before they found the small bones left over from the wolf's eating. The little girl is very fond of the nine colors and often plays with this "big dog".

The nine-colored glass eyeballs radiated cold light, and quietly told the owner that it wanted to avenge the dead child.

Qin Beiyang wore a bearskin jacket, a Cossack hat, a shotgun and fifty rounds of ammunition on his back, and carried a ring-headed Tang knife, and stepped into the reckless jungle......
