The drinking party in the office was still going on, but the topic changed to something that Wei Ran was interested in after a few glasses of wine.

"Gusen, Zoya and I have a small gift for you." As Mikita spoke, she also winked at the female nurse Zoya sitting opposite.

Without waiting for Dr. Gusen's response, Zhuo Ya put down her cup, opened the door and walked out. She stood at the door of the opposite ward and lit a cigarette. She paid close attention to the locked push-pull anti-theft door not far away.

Door.

Inside the office, Mikita glanced at Wei Ran and then at Dr. Gusen. With a smile, he reached out and picked up the medal-encrusted wine bottle from the desk next to him, opened it, and pressed the spout of the wine bottle against the enamel.

The wall of the jar poured out all the wine inside.

At the same time, Wei Ran and Gu Sen also clearly heard some gurgling noises coming from the wine bottle.

Putting the enamel jar filled with wine aside, Mikita stretched out his hand to pick up the remaining slices of ham on the plate and threw them into the plate with pickles, then put the wine bottle over and shook it.

Immediately afterwards, four small green stones, only the size of soybeans, were shaken from the wine bottle onto the plate.

It wasn't over yet, Mikita put the wine bottle aside, turned around and took out a cylindrical hand warmer from the desk.

After he opened the inner pot of the hand warmer and pulled out the cotton inside, he shook out a green stone about the size of half a peanut.

"These are the five purest gemstones recently discovered in that mine."

While Mikita was speaking, he stuffed the cotton ball filled with kerosene back into the inner pot of the hand warmer, then picked up a revolver from the desk, and while removing the bullets, he said, "Gusen, I'll wait for you.

After returning to Kazan, when you are not busy, you can take time to go to Omsk to find my father. If you know his address, you must also know that my father used to be a jewelry craftsman, and he taught me my craft."

"Do you need me to bring these small stones to him?" Gu Sen asked as he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"certainly"

Mikita nodded and said to himself, "Let him help you use the largest stone and two small ones to make a necklace for my sister Sasha, and then use the other two to make a wedding necklace for each of you."

Quit.”

Having said that, Mikita also pulled out three bullets from the pistol. Then, he took out a screwdriver only the size of a finger from his pocket and easily unscrewed the warheads of the three bullets.

.

Gently picking up a bullet that was obviously much longer, Mikita whispered, "Gusen, this bullet is made of gold. It's enough for each of you to use to make the main body of the ring."

"Where did you get the gold?" Gu Sen asked in surprise.

"Before you came, I went to a mine to suppress the rioting German prisoners of war. There was gold in the associated mine there. I spent a lot of effort to make this bullet."

While Mikita explained in a low voice, he had already screwed the golden bullet back onto the shell. Then he picked up four small green stones the size of soybeans from the plate and stuffed the other two in groups of two.

In the bullet casing.

After reloading them with bullets, Mikita turned around and took another brand-new Nagant revolver from the desk. In front of Wei Ran and Gu Sen, he skillfully removed the upper part of the handle.

The wooden patch was inserted into the gap between the trigger springs with a stone about the size of half a peanut, and then the patch was reinstalled.

Looking up at the direction of the office door, Mikita stuffed the bullet with a golden bullet into the bullet nest, and then stuffed one of the bullets with two gems into it.

This was not over yet. He took out a box of countersunk bullets from his pocket, and while loading it, he reminded, "These are real bullets. In other words, the first five bullets are all real, and the last two are real."

Fake."

After handing the loaded pistol to Dr. Goson with a strange expression, Mikita took out another leather cord from his pocket, passed it through the small hole drilled in the only remaining bullet on the table, and connected it with

The pistol was handed to Gusen together, "I have engraved your favorite quote from Comrade Stalin on this bullet. When you go back, give it to Sersi as a gift."

"How long have you been preparing these things?"

Dr. Gusen took the pistol, looked at it, put it back on the desk, and then took the bullet casing with a leather cord. Sure enough, the bullet casing was engraved with a famous saying of Stalin - "Thoughts are more powerful than weapons."

, we don’t allow our enemies to have weapons, so why should we allow them to have ideas?”

Seeing the other party hanging the bullet casing necklace around his neck, Mikita smiled proudly, "I started preparing it since I knew Comrade Political Commissar was helping you apply for a medal. Even the revolver was made by the Political Commissar and I.

I propose to reward you."

"Did you already know that I would leave?" Gusen asked as he stuffed the bullet casing into his collar.

"Since you applied to send my sister to Kazan to wait for childbirth, I guessed that you would definitely leave here too."

After Mikita said this, he took out a Soviet medical encyclopedia that Wei Ran was very familiar with and handed it to Gusen, "I asked you to borrow the book at that time. Sorry, Victor borrowed it and read it."

A few days, and then he accidentally damaged a few pages."

"I broke a few..."

Dr. Goosen grinned after opening the book. How many pages were damaged? This good book had a big hole dug out, and there were 14 bullets with primers fixed in it.

.

Seeing Gu Sen looking at him, Wei Ran quickly spread his hands and accepted the blame with an innocent look, "I'm sorry, I really broke it accidentally."

"Forget it, thank you for the gift."

Dr. Gusen shook his head helplessly, picked up the pistol placed on the table again and put it into the groove dug out in the medical encyclopedia, "Mikita, Victor, are you planning to just use those gems you secretly obtained?

Transport it out bit by bit? Sooner or later it will be discovered."

"We have no intention of shipping those gems out."

Mikita explained in a low voice with a hint of excitement, "When you went to Kazan to give your report, I heard someone from the exploration team say that the iron ore in Mine No. 52 will be exhausted soon.

Starting next winter at the latest, production here will begin to be gradually reduced, and the two-legged livestock will be transferred to an aluminum mine on the west side of the Ural Mountains to continue working. At that time, we will also go to that mine to continue working.

.”

"So this place will be abandoned soon?" Gu Sen asked in surprise.

"After all the magnetite here is mined, it will definitely be abandoned," Mikita replied affirmatively.

"Then the associated mine you discovered..."

Before Dr. Gusen finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open. Zhuo Ya leaned against the door frame and whispered, "Comrade Political Commissar is here."

"Anyway, if you have the chance to go back before Christmas, be sure to remember to send us photos. I can't wait to see what Selsi looks like now." Wei Ran raised his voice slightly and changed his voice at the right time.

While chatting, he also stuffed the plate that still smelled of kerosene under the desk.

Mikita patted Wei Ran's shoulder approvingly, and said in a slightly louder voice, "And my sister Sasha, bastard Gusen, if you let me know that you dare to bully my sister, I will definitely send you to the mine.

The cave was closed for a whole month!"

"Which bastard dared to send our Doctor Gusen into the mine?"

Before he finished speaking, a man in military uniform with the rank of captain also walked into the office carrying a bottle of wine.

"Comrade Political Commissar!" Mikita stood up faster than Wei Ran and saluted, "It's me!"

"I knew it must be you, bastard"

The political commissar returned the favor perfunctorily, sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Zhuo Ya, and asked, "It seems I'm late? I thought I would be the first to come to Comrade Gusen for a drink to celebrate."

The female nurse Zoya, who was still leaning against the door frame, said with a smile, "Unless you drive these two bastards Mikita and Victor out of Mine No. 52, you will never be the first to find him no matter what day.

Dr. Goosen is a drinking man.”

"Then I'll leave it to you, Comrade Zhuo Ya."

The political commissar, who seemed to be easy to talk to, unscrewed the wine bottle and said, "When you and Mikita have children like Gusen and Sasha, I will definitely find a way to send you back to the civilized world."

Zhuo Ya rolled her eyes, went to the table, picked up her own cup, and let the political commissar pour herself half a cup of vodka, "Forget it, rather than that, I'd rather live in this world full of beasts.

I will work until retirement."

"In this case, Mikita can't even think of leaving this hellish place."

The political commissar smiled and poured wine for Wei Ran and others without any pretense. Finally, he picked up the cup, clinked it with everyone, and drank it all.

"Comrade Political Commissar, do you know when Gusen left Mine No. 52?" Mikita asked with concern.

"That's what I'm here for"

The political commissar put down the cup and said, "Comrade Gusen, please make preparations and leave with the transport team on January 2nd, so that you can be reunited with Sasha and your children before Christmas."

"So early?" Dr. Gusen raised his eyebrows.

"Your receiving unit has just sent a telegram. They want you to report after Christmas."

As the political commissar spoke, he took out a telegraph newspaper from his pocket and handed it to Gusen, "Considering your contribution to the medical field and your family situation, your wife Sasha has also been assigned a new job. In the future, she

He’s the ticket collector at the passenger railway platform.”

"This is really good news worth a drink!" Mikita happily picked up the wine bottle on the table.

"It seems that I can't spend Christmas with you." Dr. Gusen also picked up the cup as he spoke.

With this political commissar joining the drinking party, the content of the chats at the wine table also changed. More often than not, it was the political commissar who humbly asked Dr. Gusen about issues related to the management of prisoners of war.

After the half bottle of wine on the table was drunk, the female nurse Zhuo Ya also exited the drinking party and staggered out of the office that was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. Immediately afterwards, Mikita and Wei Ran also said goodbye and left.

This gave Dr. Goosen and the political commissar room to talk.

He was two steps slower than Mikita without leaving a trace. Wei Ran, who was following behind, also recognized after leaving the office. This seemed to be the second floor of the abandoned hospital in later generations, because it was right in front of them, not far away from the stairs.

At the location, there is also a sliding security door painted with silver white paint.

Following Mikita down to the first floor and out of the hospital, Wei Ran's eyes widened in shock at what he saw.
