Chapter 2675 The Plague God Reappears

"What the hell is going on?" Looking at himself in the dressing mirror, Sokov was almost going crazy.

Yesterday at the flea market on Arbat Street, he saw Yakov calling him from an old TV that didn't even have a power plug; today was even more outrageous, he actually saw Asia in the dressing mirror in the study, which was simply outrageous.

But what Sokov didn't expect was that even more outrageous things were still to come.

When he squatted back next to the cardboard box and continued to take the books out, he was surprised to find that the author of every novel was himself.

In addition to the earliest discovered "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", the next books he took out included "An Ordinary Soldier", "Siege", and the three major works of the "Trench Realism School" "One Inch of Land", "The Last Bombardment", and "The Third Flare".

Sokov put all the books signed by himself on the table and began to search for information on the Internet with his mobile phone.

Before he returned to this era, he had only published one book, The Dawns Are Quiet Here, and the other book, Ordinary Soldier, was only a finished manuscript and had not even been sent to the publisher. There was still some doubt as to whether it could be published.

But what about the other books?

As for The Siege, he only wrote the beginning and was urgently stopped by Stalin because it involved the main leaders of Leningrad and the subject matter was too sensitive, so it had to be temporarily shelved. But judging from the books in front of him, he still finished writing the book and published it.

As for the three books of the "Trench Realism School", An Inch of Land was published by Baklanov in 1959; Bondarev's The Last Bombardment was published in 1949, and Bekov's The Third Flare was also published in the late 1950s.

He put down his phone and thought about a possibility. If these books are real, it means that in addition to accidentally returning to the modern era due to injury in 1946, something else may have happened later, which made him return to decades ago and then write these books under his own name.

Looking at the books in front of him, Sokov was certain that traveling back to the Great Patriotic War and returning from there by accident was not a dream, but a real thing. But traveling from the modern to the past and then returning from the past to the modern by accident was outrageous enough, but the chance of traveling again was probably lower than the chance of winning the special prize for 100 consecutive periods.

There was a knock at the door, and Sokov was stunned. He thought that he had just moved in, who would know that he lived here?

But then he thought, maybe it was Anna. Yesterday, he refused her to let her friends live in the rental house, and she left without saying goodbye this morning. Could it be that she had figured it out and came back to find him again?

At this point, he hurried to the door, without even looking through the peephole, and opened the door directly.

A woman in a postman's uniform was standing at the door. She saw Sokov appear at the door and asked, "Excuse me, does Damana live here? I have a package for her."

"I'm sorry, there's no one named Damana here."

"But the address on the package is here."

Hearing the other party speak so confidently, Sokov couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Liuba's mother is called Damana? Thinking of this, he quickly said to the postwoman: "Please wait a moment, I'll ask, I just moved here yesterday, I don't know the situation here."

After that, Sokov returned to the room, picked up the phone from the desk, and called Liuba: "Liuba, hello! I'm Misha."

Liuba's voice sounded very tired: "Misha, what's the matter?"

"It's like this," Sokov looked at the postwoman standing at the door and said: "There is a postman at my door. She said there is a package for Damana, and the address is my current residence."

Lyuba pondered for a moment and said: "I haven't heard of Damana, and there is no one named Damana in our building." She may be worried that Sokov and the other party can't explain clearly, so she took the initiative to say, "You give the phone to the postman, and I will talk to her in person."

The phone was handed over to the postwoman, and Sokov stood aside bored, waiting for the result of the negotiation between the two.

A few minutes later, the female postman handed the phone back to Sokov and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, the address on the package may be wrong. I'm so sorry to bother you."

"It's okay."

Sokov returned to the house and continued to use his mobile phone to search for information after 1946, but the phone rang.

The caller ID showed that it was Lao Hu calling. After the call was connected, he asked directly: "Lin Hua, are you free tomorrow?"

When he heard the name from the other party, Sokov remembered that his real name was Lin Hua. After being called "Misha" or "Sokov" for so many years, he almost forgot his real name. He asked quickly: "Lao Hu, what's the matter?"

"I plan to go back to China tomorrow." Lao Hu asked: "Can you take me there?"

Lao Hu is a friend of Sokov for many years. Since the other party made such a request, he naturally could not refuse, so he asked: "When do you leave tomorrow?"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, come to me then."

The next afternoon, Lao Hu called Sokov again: "Lin Hua, I'm going there now, are you in the store?"

"Yes."

"When I return to China today, besides me, I have a friend." Lao Hu asked tentatively: "Can I take him to the airport with me?"

Hearing that he was a friend of Lao Hu, Sokov almost agreed. But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and said: "Lao Hu, you and I are friends, it's okay for me to take you to the airport. But I don't know your friend, and I don't want to just take a stranger to the airport."

"Oh, Lin Hua, I am also entrusted by a friend, and I really can't shirk it." Lao Hu said, "How about I take him there first, and you can talk about it after you see him."

Since Lao Hu had said everything to this extent, Sokov could not refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree.

A few minutes later, a bald old man came in from outside dragging a suitcase.

First he said hello to Lena and Ada outside, and then went directly into the inner room to find Sokov: "Lin Hua, I'm here!"

Sokov stood up, shook hands with him, chatted for a while and asked, "Where is the friend you mentioned?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask them to come in." After Lao Hu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, came to the store, and shouted outside: "Mr. Cai, come in quickly."

When he heard Lao Hu calling Mr. Cai, Sokov's mind immediately thought of the weirdo he met while eating at Mumu Restaurant. He thought that he couldn't be so unlucky. The friend Lao Hu said was the one who had studied EMBA. Cai Bo thinks he is superior to others, right?

Sometimes the more you worry about something, the more you worry about it. Sokov was worried that Old Hustle's friend was the weirdo named Cai Bo, but he didn't expect that it was actually that person who walked in from the outside.

As soon as he entered the door, Cai Bo said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Hu, I have been following you for so long and I haven't seen the car to pick me up. How long do I have to wait? If in China, just make a phone call and the car will be parked. There’s no need for me to walk this far when I’m waiting for you at the door.”

"Old Hu," Sokov saw that it was indeed this person who came. Knowing that the other person did not understand Russian, he said to Old Hu: "Old Hu, if you go to the airport alone, I will see you off, no problem. But if he is there , then I won’t go.”

When Lao Hu heard Sokov suddenly speaking Russian to him, he was stunned for a moment. Then he thought of a possibility and asked in a low voice, "Is there any conflict between you and him?"

"It's not convenient to say now," Sokov said with a frown: "You find a way to send him away, and then I will take you to the airport."

"What do you want me to say to him?" Lao Hu looked embarrassed.

"It's very simple. You just tell him that my car is broken down." Sokov said to Lao Hu: "You said that I plan to arrange for you to share a car with other friends. There is only one seat and let him go to other places. Find a way somewhere.”

"How can I say this kind of thing?" Lao Hu said awkwardly: "Someone entrusted me to send him to the airport. I can't go back on my word, right?"

"Please, who's the name of the person you're asking for is Lao Tan?" Sokov said forcefully: "You call Lao Tan immediately and ask him to take this person away."

Lao Hu had no choice but to go outside and call Lao Tan.

And that weird Mr. Cai was still wandering around the store with his hands behind his back and kept making irresponsible remarks.

After Lena frowned and stared for a while, a shocked expression appeared on her face. She quickly ran to Sokov and whispered: "Misha, this seems to be the person we met when we were eating at Mumu Restaurant. The one who arrived and was taken away by the police?"

"Yes, that's him."

Liena looked at Cai Bo with disgust and said dissatisfied: "Why is he here?"

"He was planning to go back to China today, and he was probably reluctant to spend money. He happened to hear my friend say he was going back to China, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get a ride."

"This kind of person is really annoying."

After making phone calls for a while, Lao Hu came in from the outside and said with a grimace: "Lin Hua, I called Lao Tan. He was very unhappy and said that I didn't keep my word and that I had to go back on what I promised. Look. It seems that I can only trouble you and send us to the airport."

"Lao Hu, let me declare once again that we are friends. There is no problem in taking you to the airport." Sokov nuzzled at Cai Bo, who was walking back and forth in the store, and said angrily: "But for this kind of person, I He will never be allowed to ride in the car.”

Seeing Sokov's tough attitude, Lao Hu also showed an unhappy expression on his face: "Okay, I'll call Lao Tan again."

"I don't want to make any calls." Sokov raised his hand to look at his watch and said to Lao Hu: "Leave your luggage here and send this weirdo back to Lao Tan first. Whoever wants to take him to the airport? Who will send you away? After you send this plague god away, come back here and I will send you to the airport."

Lao Hu followed Sokov's persuasion, came to Cai Bo, and whispered a few words to him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cai Bo jumped up in anger and said, "Lao Hu, what do you mean? I followed you for such a long way, but you said that the car broke down and you couldn't take me to the airport, so you wanted to take me to the airport." Send it away. Let me tell you, nothing is that cheap. I will give you two options now: one is to send me to the airport immediately, and the other is to compensate me for the mental loss of 10,000 US dollars."

Liena and Ada, who were watching the excitement, saw Cai Bo getting angry and asked curiously: "Misha, what is he talking about?"

After the two of them finished listening to Sokov's translation, they couldn't help but stare angrily and cursed: "What a scoundrel!"

Cai Bo's yelling alerted the security guard patrolling outside. He walked into the store and asked Ada who was nearest him: "Ada, what happened?"

Ada quickly told the security guard what had happened.

After hearing this, the security guard walked up to Cai Bo and yelled at him.

But what the security guard didn't expect was that Cai Bo didn't understand Russian at all, and what he said was all nonsense.

Although Cai Bo doesn't understand Russian, Lao Hu does.

Worried that something might happen, he quickly came over to ask Sokov for help: "Lin Hua, the security guard said he was going to take Mr. Cai to the security room. Please help and say a few words of kindness."

"Lao Hu, go over and tell the so-called Mr. Cai that the security guards told him to leave here immediately, otherwise he will be locked up. Ask him if he should stay and continue to be a rogue, or should he go back to find Lao Tan?"

Lao Hu had no choice but to return to Cai Bo and tell him the stakes.

Although Cai Bo was so domineering just now, when he heard that he might be imprisoned for a period of time, he was dumbfounded and quickly asked Lao Hu for help.

When Sokov saw Lao Hu looking towards him, he quickly winked at him and motioned for him to take Cai Bo away.

Old Hu understood the situation and quickly dragged Cai Bo out of the store.

After Lao Hu and the others left, Sokov dragged his suitcase to the parking lot, opened the trunk of the car and put his things in.

Ten minutes later, Old Hu, who looked haggard, returned to the store, and said to Sokov with a bitter face: "Lin Hua, you are really hurting me. I just sent Mr. Cai back, and Old Tan complained for a while. Say I don’t mean what I say…”

Before Lao Hu could finish speaking, Sokov quickly raised his hand and interrupted him: "Lao Hu, are you familiar with Lao Tan?"

After hearing Sokov's question, Lao Hu thought for a while and replied: "I am a fellow countryman with whom I have a good relationship. I once lived with Lao Tan for a while. Before today, I didn't know Lao Tan at all."

"That's right. Lao Tan is just a roommate from your hometown and has nothing to do with you. And this blabbering Mr. Cai has nothing to do with you, so why are you sending him to the airport? ? Even if it’s wool, it’s not like this.”

Sokov raised his hand to look at his watch and said to Lao Hu: "It's getting late, we should set off."

Old Hu looked around and asked in surprise: "Where is my suitcase?"

"I've already put it in the car." After greeting Lena and Ada, Sokov took Lao Hu out and said, "I will tell you the ins and outs of this matter later on the road. . I really didn’t expect that that old man provoked this weirdo somewhere, but ended up dumping the trouble on you. "

"It's mainly because friends said hello." Lao Hu said awkwardly: "I couldn't refuse them because of my face. Who would have thought that it would happen like today."

"Lao Hu, when you go out, you should keep your eyes open." Sokov reminded the other party: "You must know clearly who can be friends and who cannot be friends. Don't do anything to abuse good people, otherwise you will end up eating it in the end. The only one who suffers the most is you.”
