At the end of the road is a small town built in a gap in the forest, called Ola Town. It is located in Eastern Siberia, close to the Arctic Ocean. The largest city nearby is Verkhyansk. Although it is a city, it only has a few thousand residents, while Ola Town is

There are only more than 200 people, which is not as big as a natural village in China.

Originally such a harsh environment was not enough to create a settlement, but since the discovery of diamond mines nearby a hundred years ago, human beings' desire for wealth has overcome their fear of the environment. This town has persisted, starting with one or two households.

, it has taken five or six generations to reach its current scale.

"In recent years, young children in the town have gone to school in big cities and never come back. However, people like us who were born in the former Soviet Union are unwilling to leave their hometowns. Some people are still working in the nearly depleted diamond mines.

Some people go to work, cutting wood, others providing food for others, and finally it’s me. I’m the only policeman in the town, but I’m part of the national civil service.”

The strong man's name was Chuk Ivanovich. At this time, he was parking his car next to a wooden and stone house while introducing the situation to the three outsiders in English.

The car door opened and the three of them got out of the car. The sky shrouded in polar night was still dark, and the town was lit with lights.

"Sergey, I picked up three more guys and prepared hot soup and bread for them. I went to find some coats and brought them to them."

Ivanovich stood at the door and shouted loudly inside.

A young man with blond hair in cotton-padded clothes came out of the back room.

"Okay, brother, I'm just getting ready for lunch."

He brought the three people into the house.

He Yu looked around at his surroundings.

The house has a small window, which is nailed shut with wooden boards. The walls are made of fir, and there are even traces of growth rings on the tree trunks. It looks like it is not recent, and it exudes a brown luster in the firelight.

There are no electrical equipment in the house, and it is entirely heated by a fireplace burning wood. Hot soup is hung on the fireplace, and the aroma is emitted from it.

Next to the fireplace was an oven. Sergey asked the three of them to sit down on the sofa, then took out several large pieces of black bread from the back room, cut a few pieces, and put them into the oven.

"Are you from Middle Earth?"

After Sergei finished his business, he sat by the fireplace and asked.

"how do you know?"

Teng Jiang asked.

"I have a friend who studied abroad in China, in Donghai City."

Sergey said.

"Is he from here too?"

He Yu took the words.

"Well, but he didn't come back."

Sergey said.

"That's right. If I were him, I wouldn't want to come back. Middle-earth is more comfortable."

Teng Jiang nodded.

"No, it's not that he didn't want to come back, he died. When the war broke out, a missile hit the house where they were hiding. He rescued thirteen people, but he didn't come out."

Sergey was a little sentimental.

"Is this so...I'm sorry..."

Teng Jiang apologized quickly.

"I have been working in the diamond mines, trying to save money to live in Middle-earth, but after this incident, I feel that the cold is nothing compared to war."

Sergey stood up, picked up the spoon and stirred it a few times.

"indeed so……"

Guan Jin sighed.

"Okay, it's time to eat."

Sergey wiped the corners of his eyes, opened the oven, and took out the black bread.

Several dinner plates were placed on the table, and Sergey carefully divided the food.

Everyone was given a piece of black bread studded with sesame seeds. Next to the bread was a bowl of hot vegetable soup with milk and meat, and finally two stewed potatoes.

"In the fall, we stored a whole warehouse of meat, milk and potatoes. If it's not enough, I'll get some more. My brother is most afraid of others saying he's stingy."

Sergey said with a smile.

"Enough...enough..."

Teng Jiang immediately picked up the bread and wolfed it down. Guan Jin and He Yu swallowed their saliva and used knives and forks to cut the food into small pieces.

"Actually, we country folk don't pay much attention to etiquette."

Sergey looked at the two of them, a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand to pick up the bread, dipped it in some salt, and put it in his mouth.

After the few people were full, Sergey made tea according to the old Russian tradition, and took out some snacks and put them aside.

"By the way, Sergey, why hasn't your brother come back after being out for so long?"

He Yu asked.

"Perhaps the dog of Alexander's family got the chicken of Alexey's family, or the goose of Varentin's family was killed and eaten by the naughty children of Anton's family. Anyway, it's all these trivial things all day long. Every day

It takes a long time to deal with everything, and maybe you have to roll up your sleeves and start a fight."

Sergey said helplessly.

"It's no small matter. It's not easy for dogs, chickens, and geese to survive here."

Teng Jiang rubbed his hands and looked at the falling snow outside the window.

————————————————————————————————

"Tap tap tap—"

There were footsteps outside the door, and Sergey turned around, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Anton, what's wrong? Something happened again?"

"Something happened. Those mountain people are here again. They want to steal diamonds while there is no one in the mine under heavy snow."

Another young man wearing a bearskin hat stood in the snow and shouted to Sergei.

"Sukabule!"

Sergei cursed angrily, immediately ran back to the inner room, put on a coat, picked up the shovel from outside the door, and put it on his shoulder.

"Where is my brother?"

Sergei asked as he walked.

"Chuk has gone to the mines with the rest of the town."

Anton replied.

The two left, cursing all the way.

"problem occurs?"

Teng Jiang looked at He Yu.

"It sounds like we encountered a thief."

Guan Jin said.

"If someone is short-tempered, we have to help them if they are in trouble."

He Yu stood up and walked towards the door.

Guan Jin followed closely behind. Teng Jiang had no choice but to walk to the fireplace, took some snacks and stuffed them into his mouth, then followed them.

At the foot of the mountain outside Aura Town, the diamond mining area is surrounded by a tall wooden fence with sharp iron wires. Some young people wearing animal skins tried to climb over the fence, and their clothes were torn by the iron wires, leaving wounds in their wounds.

Bleeding, he fell down.
