Chapter 95

In the next few days, the German air force carried out a crazy air attack on Moscow day and night, and the whole city was shrouded in smoke. Although the windows of my room are always closed, I can still smell the smoke mixed in the air.

Since President Lin visited the 20th army two days ago, he has never appeared again. I guess he may have gone to the 20th army with general Vlasov. But kroshkov, who put me in the hotel, never showed his face, or even sent someone to tell me what to do next, whether to stay in Moscow or return to the front line. It seems that I have become a forgotten person.

At the beginning, I was also very uneasy about the indifference of the relevant departments. But after a few days, I gradually got used to this kind of leisure life. In addition to sleeping every day to wake up naturally, even three meals a day will be delivered to me on time. Although there is the danger of being bombed by enemy planes, compared with the front line, it is very safe here. At least you don't have to worry about shells falling on your side at any time, or you don't know what bullets are coming from to hit you.

These days in the hotel, apart from reading books, I just chat with aksala who came to visit us. Life is really monotonous, so I plan to take advantage of nothing and go out for a walk. I've been puzzling about where to go for a long time. Red Square, widenham and Victory Square are the three places that have been visited most in later generations. A few days ago, I went to red square to participate in the military parade. There is no need to go again in a short time; Victory Square was built only in 1995. At the moment, it is still a forest; It seems that the only one who can go shopping is widenham.

Widenkhan, later known as the "all Russia Exhibition Center", has not yet disintegrated, so it is also known as the "exhibition hall of national economic achievements of the Soviet Union". It covers an area of 300 hectares, with a perimeter of 35 kilometers. The scale is very grand. Of the more than 50 galleries, 15 participating republics have their own special galleries. Display the latest great scientific and technological achievements in the fields of economy, science and technology. Because it is scientific, knowledgeable and entertaining. The park has beautiful scenery, rich architectural features and different styles. Therefore, it is not only an exhibition center, but also a good place to broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, sightseeing and leisure.

Although I just went shopping, now it's during the war, anything can happen, so before going out, I still carried the submachine gun that never left me.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I regretted that the smoke outside was too big, and the buildings more than ten meters away could only see faint shadows. Now, during the war, many buses and trams leading to that direction have stopped. To get to widenham, there are only two choices: one is to walk directly, the other is to go to the Chinatown subway station near Red Square and take the subway. I chose the latter scheme almost without thinking.

I walked along the footpath where the pedestrians stepped out of the snow. I calculated my speed. I could walk to the subway station in about 40 minutes.

Just as I was walking, suddenly a truck stopped beside me. A soldier in helmet leaned out of the cab and asked aloud, "Hello! Comrade female soldier, where are you going? Do you want a ride? "

When I heard that he called me a female soldier, I was stunned for a moment. Then I looked at the white camouflage clothes I was wearing, and I immediately understood that the collar of this dress was very high, just blocking my rank. In addition, when he saw that I was carrying a submachine gun, he thought I was an ordinary female soldier.

"I'm going to Chinatown subway station, and then take the subway to videnhan. Is your bus on the way?" Since I took the initiative to give me a ride, I was not polite. I explained where I wanted to go.

"Get in the car. We are going to a place not far from widenham. We can take you to your destination directly."

Hearing his affirmative answer, I opened the door, grabbed the handle and climbed up. The soldier took the handle and pulled me into the cab. I sat in my seat, said thanks to the soldiers, then pulled the door.

When the driver saw me close the door, he stepped on the gas and the car went on.

The soldier who pulled me into the car was holding a submachine gun in his arms. It looked like a escort. I asked curiously, "what are you pulling in your car?" At the same time, he took down the submachine gun on his back and held it in his arms like a soldier.

The driver held the steering wheel silently and drove his car attentively. The soldier sitting in the middle answered me in a very general way: "it's military supplies." I nodded, then turned my head to the right and looked out the window.

After a while, maybe seeing that I didn't speak, the soldier asked, "girl, what's your name?"

"My name is o'shanina."

"Ah?" The soldier listened, his face showed a surprised expression, "I can't see that you are so young to get married." After a pause, he said to himself thoughtfully, "o'shanina, o'shanina, then your husband's name is o'shanina. I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Listening to his self talk, I can't help but shrunk my mouth contemptuously, thinking that I should use such an old-fashioned way to pick up girls, so I asked him: "what should I call you?"

"Victor, but you can call me Vicia." Then he asked curiously, "where is your husband? Is he on the front line, too? "

"Missing. The Civil Affairs Department informed me that he was missing on the battlefield." Although it was only Rita's husband who was missing, my mood went down again.

After listening to me, Victor was silent again thoughtfully. After a while, maybe he saw that my mood was a little low, so he comforted me and said, "o'shanina, don't worry, it's just missing rather than sacrificing, then there is still hope of reunion. Maybe one day, as soon as you open the door, your husband will stand in front of you intact. "

"Thank you." I reached out gratefully and gave him a shake.

He asked me with concern: "look at your dress, it seems that you are ready to fight on the front line at any time."

"Yes, I've been on the front line several times. Now I'm on vacation in Moscow, and I'm ready to go back to the front line as long as I have orders. "

"Just you?" Victor's face showed disbelief: "war is our men's business, you women should stay behind."

"Don't you think I'm already neutral? At least I don't want to be seen as a woman. " After hearing what he said, I immediately hit him back in a very unfriendly tone.

The atmosphere in the cab suddenly became awkward. Fortunately, at this time, the car stopped, and the driver suddenly broke the silence: "Comrade o'shanina, here is Witten Khan."

When I looked out of the window, I saw the tall arch of wittenhan and the bronze statues of the male and female members of the collective farm holding the ears of wheat. I breathed a sigh of relief, gave thanks to the driver and Vic, opened the door and jumped down. After a few steps, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said goodbye to them. I turned around and waved goodbye to them. Through the window, I saw that they were also waving goodbye to me.

Maybe it's because of the wind direction. Most of the smoke from the burning has been blown away by the wind. The air here feels much better than that in the city center, and the vision has become wider.

At the gate stood a dozen red army soldiers with helmets and rifles. They watched the people coming in and out with vigilance, but they did not stop anyone to check their documents. When I passed by them, a man who was obviously a team leader asked me: "I said female soldier comrade, where are you going?"

"I'll go inside and have a look."

"The exhibition halls are closed. What can I do for you?" The captain mumbled and went to one side to smoke.

I walked along the broad road to the main exhibition hall facing the gate. Around the snow covered bronze statue of Lenin, I stepped up to the gate of the exhibition hall. I stood on the steps and looked around. Today, there are not many visitors to videnhan. Almost all of them are walking in the open space with the snow cleared. There are really no people like me who go straight to the exhibition hall. I pulled the tall, thick oak door, which was closed, and it didn't move. At this time, an old lady came out and yelled at me: "Hello! Comrade woman soldier, what are you doing there? The exhibition halls are all closed. They won't open until the war is over. Come back then. "

The war is over?! That's four years to wait! I let go of the door handle, turned around and walked down the steps. It was not easy for me to come and go back like this. So I went around the main exhibition hall and went on to the back.

Behind the main exhibition hall, there is a huge central fountain called "fountain of friendship among the people". The fountain is large in scale and novel in design. It is composed of 15 young girls of different nationalities holding ears of wheat and gold-plated statues of layers of wheat stacks symbolizing harvest, symbolizing the 15 republics of the Soviet Union. Because of the coming of winter, the fountain no longer spray water, and the water in the pool is frozen.

When I passed by the fountain, I saw about a dozen young girls jumping into the middle of the pool, with steel rods and other tools in their hands, struggling to dig ice. Judging from their neat clothes, they are already the staff of Witten Khan. But what do they do to dig ice? Are they catching fish?

When I came to the exhibition hall in the back of the garden, I found that there were many differences with the memory of later generations. At least now there is no space museum, and the skyrocketing carrier rocket, schema airliner and MiG fighter that used to be on the square are gone.

I walked around the park for a long time, but I was a little hungry. I saw a coffee shop in front of me and ran over. Coincidentally, the location of the coffee shop next to the coal mine is the place where barbecue will be sold in later generations. Although the Turkish barbecue tastes good, it's just that it's too hard to knock. The price of the same food is ten times higher than that of other places.

The shop assistant in the coffee shop was an old lady. When she saw me coming, she said hello to me politely: "Hello! What can I do for you, girl? "

"Do you have any baked potatoes?" I asked

"No, it's all sold out."

"Do you have boiled corn?"

"Miss, don't you look at the season now? Corn is usually gone by the end of September. "

"Oh, have a cup of coffee then." When I heard that I didn't have any of my favorite food, I was a little disappointed, so I had to order anything“ Black coffee? "“ No, I'm not used to black coffee. I'd better have milk coffee. " The old lady was very quick. She made the coffee and handed it to me in a short time. At the same time, she asked me, "do you need anything else?"“ Another bread, "I looked at the bread in the cupboard, pointed to one of the nice looking buns and said," this jam bread. "“ There are two kinds of jam, one is strawberry and the other is peach. Which one would you like The old lady is so patient. If I had changed my mind, I would have given any bread to the shopper. How could she have asked in such detail“ It's strawberry. "“ Yes, four gobies for coffee and three gobies for bread. Do you have anything else Seeing me shaking my head, he continued: "there are seven gobies in all." Fortunately, I still had the money Zhukov gave me last time in my pocket. I quickly took out a one rouble bill and handed it over. There are usually two or three round tables for customers to eat next to the coffee shop. Half a person is more than half a height, and there is no stool or chair. Customers are standing at the table to eat. I put away the ninety-three gobies that the old lady found, and then I came to the round table beside the pavilion with coffee and bread. After eating, I slowly walked back along the way. When I was approaching the fountain, I suddenly heard the laughter of girls coming from the pool in front of me. Curious, I quickened my pace to see what happened. I came closer and was shocked. It turns out that the girls just now cut an area of 20 to 30 square meters into the ice and were swimming in it. What surprised me was not the winter swimming itself, but the girls swimming naked in the water. I can't help but secretly admire their good physique. Although it's not too cold today, there are still seven or eight degrees below zero. It's amazing that they can swim in such cold weather. Although there are so many young girls swimming naked in the pool, few of the tourists who come and go around stop and watch. In contrast, it seems a little too different for me to stand by and stare at them“ Hello! Comrades of female soldiers, don't always stand by and watch. Come and join us in winter swimming. " Maybe I watched it a little longer, and one of the girls stood up and called to me loudly. The water in the pool is not deep, just to her waist. Looking at her white skin and graceful figure, I couldn't help swallowing some saliva, waving my hand and saying, "no, no, I'm afraid of cold. I'll catch a cold in such a cold day." At the same time, I continue to stare at their bodies and think: I'm a woman now. Women probably don't have needle eyes when they take a bath. At this time, the girl in the water screamed, and then shrunk into the water, only to show a head. Why? What's going on? Just now, he was so bold and unconstrained that he became shy“ Rita Cheka! Rita Cheka! " Behind me came aksala's voice. I looked back and understood it all at once. Aksala is striding towards me with five or six soldiers. No wonder that girl will be ashamed. However, from this posture, I know that my vacation in Moscow is officially over.
