Chapter 182: Winter in Moscow

After a night of nothing, early the next morning, a group of four of us rushed to the airport to board the plane.

We arrived at Moscow International Airport on flight R2341 after a long flight of more than nine hours.

It was the beginning of December, and it was already snowing heavily in Moscow, the far north of the earth, and when we got off the plane, we saw a snowy world.

The cold wind blew on the four of us like knives, and we shivered from the cold, and everyone regretted not bringing an extra piece of clothing, and even the fat bear, who had more than 200 pounds of thick fat, felt unbearable......

Winter in Moscow is well deserved.

Today, the entire airport was empty, but fortunately we had the foresight to find a Chinese student named Yang Wen online in advance to be our guide.

When Yang Wen saw us arrive, he waved to us very warmly and took the initiative to carry our luggage for us.

Yang Wen told us that he was an international student in the directing department of the Moscow Film Academy, and that he and Zheng Tian were also peers and had many common languages. Before they got out of the airport, the two talked about the movie in a nonchalant manner. Zheng Tian also boasted that he had recently made a particularly awesome documentary about the ancient city of Lop Nur in China...... I immediately reminded him to pay attention, and it would be better to say less.

As we leave the airport, we are greeted by a snow-covered birch forest, and the white patches give a spectacular feeling.

We got into Yang Wen's car, which was air-conditioned, and we felt a little warmer, and drove all the way to Moscow.

At this time, the snow outside the car window was still falling, and huge snowflakes like mulberry leaves rolled violently in the air, swirled, and then fell straight down, covering all the roofs, trees, fields, and ground with thick silver.

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, there is a soft light veil floating on the river! Katyusha stood on the steep shore and sang like a bright spring light......"

Yang Wen turned on the stereo in the car to the maximum, and the familiar melody of "Katyusha" immediately came to our ears. In order to take into account those of us who do not understand Russian, he also specially chose the Chinese version.

"I'll give you one of my favorite songs, hoping to bring warmth to visitors from afar." Yang Wen said to us with a smile.

I nodded: "Thank you, Xiao Yang, we feel the warmth in our spirits for the time being." ”

"It's still very cold physically." Zheng Tian shrunk into his seat and said.

"Winter in Moscow is like this, it's a bit impersonal, you get used to it after staying for a long time, are you here for a trip this time?" Yang Wen asked.

"Yes."

"It's not."

Wei Yin and I actually said two different answers at the same time, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.

I glanced at Wei Yin, motioned for her not to speak yet, and then spoke: "That's Xiao Yang, we came to Moscow this time mainly to visit relatives, and then take care of visiting some scenic spots." ”

"Well, you gave me the address on the Internet, it seems to be 77 Lenin Street, it's in the center of the city, it's easy to find, but it's not very easy to open." Yang Wen said.

"Traffic jams, huh? Normal, and the same is true at home. Zheng Tian expressed understanding.

Yang Wen shook his head: "Traffic jams are not the main reason, you will know then." ”

When he said this, I became interested in this "not very easy to open".

Then Yang Wen said: "There are many attractions in Moscow, such as Red Square, the Kremlin, the Church of the Ascension of Vasily, and so on. ”

Although the purpose of our trip is not tourism, we still have to pretend to be tourists outside, otherwise it will look ostentatious, so I replied: "That sounds great, and I will trouble you to show us the way when the time comes." ”

As we drove into the city center, we saw the snow-covered Moscow River, which was like a white streamer, zigzag through the city of Moscow, and along the banks of the river were trees and lawns that were also covered with snow.

The first image of this city to me is the vicissitudes of life, and the second impression is enchanting.

The vicissitudes of life are said because most of the buildings here are hundreds of years old. Most of these buildings are dominated by spires or domes, with brilliant colors and intricate patterns, and the facades of the buildings facing the street are inlaid with ancient reliefs. Everywhere I saw the sculptures of knights, dressed in armor and pointing their swords into the distance, which made me feel the martial and fearless nature of this country.

Said to be enchanting because of the Russian girl who walked through the streets. Even in the cold winter, they are still not bloated, and their fair thighs are matched with heavy mink coats, showing off their tall figures. Snowflakes fall on them, hazy and hazy, and they melt in an instant, giving people a feeling of all kinds of charm.

Zheng Tian and I stared directly at these stunners with six eyes, dazzling and dizzying.

Wei Yin had a lot of opinions about this, and taunted us with jealousy: "Look at your virtue, it's not like I haven't seen a woman, it's a shame." ”

I looked back, cleared my throat and said, "What's that...... I mainly wanted to study the architectural style of Moscow's streets, and I didn't pay much attention to anything else. ”

Zheng Tian also said hypocritically: "Yes, these architectural styles are quite unique, and they are very different from the blue brick small tile horse head wall in our Nanjing City." ”

The fat bear said disdainfully: "You two are also fake, unlike the fat man, I say that I look at a foreign girl." ”

After a pause, he said righteously: "Although we are looking at foreign girls, we are definitely watching with a critical eye!" Look at their baring legs in the winter, which is not only irresponsible for their own health, but also corrupts the social atmosphere! ”

After finishing speaking, the fat bear did not forget to look out the window twice.

Wei Yin gave us a blank look, crossed her hands and stopped talking.

As we slowly drove towards Lenin Avenue in the center of Moscow, Yang Wen reminded us: "Everyone sit tight." ”

Before I realized what was happening, two dilapidated Lada cars suddenly whizzed past us and almost hit us. Both cars were covered with snow, and if you didn't pay attention, you thought it was a car from a snowdrift, and the only thing that showed out was still rusty, giving people the feeling that they had just hit another car and were about to be scrapped......

"Can this car be on the road?" Zheng Tian was dumbfounded.

"It was driving so fast that it almost hit us." Wei Yin also said with palpitations.

Yang Wen explained to us: "This is the norm, because Russia does not currently have a vehicle scrapping system, and there is no annual review. Many cars that have been driven for decades are still on the road. In addition, there is no limit to the number of kilometers you can drive here, and many Russians can get more than 90 miles on the accelerator with one foot on the accelerator. Especially if you drive a broken car, you won't feel distressed if you crash it anyway. ”

As soon as Yang Wen's voice fell, a dilapidated "Volga" brand car suddenly appeared in front of us, and when he saw that he was about to collide, Yang Wen's eyes were quick, and he immediately turned the steering wheel 180 degrees, and the road was slippery in snow, I felt that we drifted to the side and then turned around in place.

Then, as if we were dodging bullets, we survived in the cracks of Lenin Street, which was heavily trafficked.

After a thrilling drive, Yang Wen finally parked the car in front of No. 77 Lenin Street.
