Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

Towards the end of the conversation.

Ironically, the simplest yet most difficult aspect was transportation.

"There are many machines. Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi, Khabarovsk, and Nakhodka all have a lot of idle machines, and even some idle warships."

How am I supposed to get it to you? You're not expecting me to hire some dogs to pull a sled over there in the winter, are you?

Vera smiled smugly.

The little brat still wants to fight with her.

She had already planned out the future path before agreeing to Lu Weiguo's request.

Given the current state of relations between the two countries, secretly transporting even a fur or a condiment would be quite a feat.

You want to get this big thing? What, can you fly?

However, Lu Weiguo seemed to have guessed it all along.

He casually pulled out the agreement he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

"Aunt Vera, you don't need to worry about this. In six months, or maybe even less, after July..."

I'll come back to you, as long as you can get these machines!

"Do you have a solution?"

"Would you believe me if I said I could fly?!"

Whether Vera believed it or not, Lu Weiguo didn't care.

Six months later, trains 19 and 20 resumed operation at the Suifenhe border crossing.

How could she possibly know about this?

Promises were kept, plans were completed.

He also stayed with Katerina until her body reached its limit.

He basically didn't leave his room during this period.

It's time to say goodbye.

Fortunately, Russian women are indeed quite forgiving.

There were no separations of life and death.

We agreed on a date to meet here.

Under the cover of night, Lu Weiguo pulled a sled full of various furs.

They embarked on the road back to China once again.

The mountain roads on the Russian side are relatively easy to travel.

This area is sparsely populated, and most places have not been logged by humans.

And the climate is indeed much colder than where we are.

The snow on the ground had not yet begun to melt.

But when we got close to the border...

The climate changes in an instant, like two different worlds.

Large-scale logging has already impacted the climate.

In many places, the roads are like muddy puddles.

The sled, laden with furs, struggled to move with every step.

After finally crossing the border, Lu Weiguo was so exhausted that he collapsed to the ground.

"Who's there?! What are you doing here?! Arrest them!!"

Lu Weiguo was manipulating things on the Russian side.

Wangcai may have also returned to his hometown.

I'm exhausted and mentally drained every day.

The guards were right in front of him, but Wangcai didn't even notice.

"Comrade, I am a villager from Fendou Village. I... I got some fur from the mountain."

Lu Weiguo hurriedly got up.

The three men were all energetic young men.

He secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

The younger they are, the more stubborn they are; they're not easy to fool.

"Fendou Village? What, fur coats are growing in the mountains now? You think you can just do whatever you want? Show me your border pass."

And these marks on you, it's obvious you came from over there."

The young soldier at the head spoke with righteous indignation.

The other two immediately subdued Lu Weiguo.

"I have a border pass, you see. Also, I'm not a KGB agent, I'm just a farmer, not very educated, I can't read."

"Didn't I realize this is an editing storyline, not a hunting expedition? Did I just walk right past it while I was hunting?"

Lu Weiguo's explanation was better left unsaid.

The explanation made the three men even more wary.

They checked border passes, searched people, and inspected furs.

That's good.

Lu Weiguo brought only bear and mink furs this time, not tiger ones.

It's not that he had foresight.

Rather, it's that the Russian's skill in maintaining fur is genuinely lacking.

Only bear fur and mink fur have relatively good moisture resistance.

Besides, they don't consider this thing a good thing over there either.

The bear skin was casually laid out on the ground as a carpet.

He had never seen anything so wasteful.

"My border pass is valid, and I'm not carrying any prohibited items."

The soldiers who conducted the body search reported.

"That's the biggest problem. Come on, come back with us."

Although he said he wanted Lu Weiguo to come along.

But the two men under him heard it and told him to shut up.

With his hands twisted behind his back, the sled was harnessed to him.

His condition was no different from that of an old ox.

Lu Weiguo instantly empathized with the old ox in the village.

"Um, I can walk by myself, it's fine, you don't need to do this..."

At this point, who would listen to Lu Weiguo's explanation?

At this time, there were almost no people crossing the border to hunt.

It's not that we don't allow it, but the Russians are inhumane.

As long as we catch those who cross the line, regardless of whether they are ordinary citizens or not.

They resorted to torture to extract confessions, severing tendons in the hands and feet, and even embedding iron chains in some people's bodies.

Even if they come back, they'll only be half alive.

There are almost no others like Lu Weiguo, who not only returned standing up but also brought back a large sled of fur.

The border stretches for dozens of miles.

When Lu Weiguo arrived at the outpost.

I was completely exhausted, my whole body was soaked in sweat.

His eyes were lifeless, and he sat in the chair in the interrogation room like a lump of mud.

The lights came on.

A man in a military uniform walked in.

Back then, there wasn't such a clear classification as shoulder insignia.

Lu Weiguo glanced at the man but couldn't confirm his identity.

He could only nod respectfully.

"Name, age, identity... What did you go to the Russians for? How many days did you stay...?" The man began asking questions as soon as he sat down.

Just as Lu Weiguo was about to answer, someone with a style that was about 80% similar to this person suddenly popped into his mind.

Hesitantly, he looked up and replied, "I signed a confidentiality agreement with your Officer Huang. Have him interrogate me."

"Officer Huang?"

"The garrison regiment is responsible for communications."

Lu Weiguo vaguely expressed his guess.

What are the contents of the confidentiality agreement?

The man had already begun to have doubts.

"I can't tell you, but you should know the rules!" The more assertive Lu Weiguo was at this moment, the more easily people would believe him.

"it is good."

He truly deserves to be called a qualified soldier.

There were no threats, no hesitation, and everything was done according to the rules.

Since they know about the confidentiality agreement, its contents must be extremely important.

Even if he was tricked, it's worth the trip if he can confirm that there was no loss to the country.

Lu Weiguo sat on the stool for a whole day and night.

Meals and drinks are provided, and the drinks are all boiled water.

I can only sleep sitting up at night now.

It wasn't until the next morning that Officer Huang arrived.

The moment he saw Lu Weiguo, he recognized him.

After all, the two had already arranged to meet.

However, in the early stages of the reform, Huang was unusually busy.

That's why I didn't go to find Lu Weiguo.

"What are you doing here? Were you caught at the border? Are you really a KGB agent, that's why you know about those integrated circuit boards?"

There were only two people in the room. With a puzzled look, Huang sat down opposite Lu Weiguo.

"I'm innocent! I'm just a hunter, not some KGB agent. If I were really a KGB agent, would I be teaching you how to clean up integrated circuit boards?"

To be honest, it's just about getting some fur coats.
