Chapter 32

Tatars is the collective name of the ethnic minorities in northern China in ancient times, and the Tatars in the modern sense refer to the descendants of the Mongols and Turks under the jurisdiction of the Golden Horde, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, Shuchi. Even the word Tyumen is of Mongolian and Turkic origin and means "ten thousand". Although Tyumen once existed as a Tatar city for a long time in history, since it was conquered by Tsarist Russia, Tyumen immediately became Russia's first immigrant city in Siberia and served as an important military stronghold for Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion. It can be said that Tyumen is the oldest city in Siberia.

There are not many Tatars in Tyumen these days, so Seryozha was really surprised to see such a fine Tatar Lomonosov here tonight. Lomonosov was very enthusiastic about Yuri, but he ignored Seryozha. Yuri tried several times to introduce Seryozha to Lomonosov without success.

Seryozha smiled and stood aside watching Lomonosov's performance, but he reminded himself that the other party was not a good person, saying that he was in a small business, and even Yuri was deceived by him Well, things are probably going to be a little troublesome.

The long greetings were finally over. Lomonosov completely ignored Seryosha's outstretched right hand and sat on his seat. The service staff respectfully opened the plate for Lomonosov and poured him a glass of wine. wine. Lomonosov raised his glass to pay tribute to Yuri. Since then, he did not drink it as elegantly as Western gentlemen, but drank it like drinking beer. Then he used that exquisite dagger to cut open a whole rib bone, and put it near his mouth to bite and eat.

Seryozha and Yuri also followed suit. Seryozha did not take Lomonosov's attitude to heart. He ate meat when he wanted to eat meat, and drank alcohol when he wanted to drink. expression.

"I didn't expect you to be in this business now, Yuri!" Lomonosov said suddenly when he raised his glass to toast Yuri.

Yuri was very embarrassed now, he looked at Sergei, and saw Sergei waving at him from under the table, which meant to let Yuri relax and not care about his feelings, Yuri nodded to express acceptance, and also Following Lomonosov's example, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then he said: "I didn't expect that I would do this job, let alone that you would be released so soon!"

"If I hadn't been released so soon, I would still be here to drink and eat meat with you. Yuri, you are my friend, my brother, and I will never forget you. Actually, I want you to come to Tyumen Work with me, as you can see, I am doing pretty well now, if you can come here, I will not treat you badly!" Lomonosov openly poached Seryozha's corner, this behavior is provocative.

But before Seryozha could speak, Yuri had already refused, and he said: "Thank you Lomonosov, I appreciate your kindness, and now I have my own brother and my own career, and I don't want to leave Gorky yet." .”

Lomonosov poured another glass of wine into his stomach, wiped the spilled wine from his mouth, and said, "You know Yuri, at that time I was living a precarious life in the Gulag, as a Tatar Tartars, you are bullied by you Russians almost every day. You either die standing up or live on your knees. The bell ringing at the wind time every day is almost my war drum. Almost all the people in the prison will come to beat me. Only you stand On my side, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died inside."

"It's better not to talk about unhappy things. Seeing that you are doing well now, I am also happy for you, Lomonosov!" Yuri hastily persuaded.

"No, Yuri, the Gulag is like a university. I just graduated from there. Those who have not attended this university will not understand!" Lomonosov said with emotion. He also glanced at Seryozha by the way.

Seryozha thought to himself: "This should be addressed to me. If he knows that I have 'graduated' from the Lubyanka of the KGB,

I have not yet become an academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences! "Thinking of this, Seryozha felt a little funny. Those who were locked up with Yuri were just criminals, and who were locked up with Seryozha, Chechen separatists, rebels bought by foreigners, foreign hostiles The spies who infiltrated the forces, and some were criminals who were considered to endanger national security. At least two-thirds of them had their lives in their hands. After all, unlucky people like Seriosha and Petrov were in the minority. And Petrov Husband and daddy have been "studying" seriously for many years before graduating.

The three of them ate the whole veal ribs for half an hour, and Seryozha was already a little overwhelmed. He didn't expect that this was just the first dish, and the second dish was horse meat burritos. The horse meat is freshly baked, served in one piece, cut off with a knife and wrapped in baked cakes to eat. Lomonosov seemed to want to give Seryozha a good look, and frequently raised his glass to toast, and Seryozha was also drunk. After all, Seryozha usually drank vodka. Although the wine has a lot of stamina, it doesn't feel like drinking it. Seryozha seemed to be competing with Lomonosov. Although the two had no communication, the wine was poured down one by one. Seryozha finally understood that Lomonosov didn't take him seriously at all, so naturally he didn't want to make any deal with him. Lomonosov deliberately arranged the dinner here, just to show his strength to Seryozha, so that Seryozha would retreat in the face of difficulties. Lomonosov poached him in front of Seryozha. They were telling him, I only like Yuri, you guys, and the other guys should go back where they came from.

Seryozha ate up all the food in front of him, drank three more glasses of wine, stood up from his chair, and said to Lomonosov: "Thank you for your broadband, that's it for today, goodbye!"

Seeing Seryozha's movements, Yuri also stood up from the chair, nodded goodbye to Lomonosov, and followed Seryozha without looking back, striding out of the room. When they got outside, Mikhail and Yakov had been waiting for a long time, and they gathered around and looked at Seryozha. Seryozha only said: "Let's talk when we get back!" Mikhail and Yakov didn't ask any more questions, and the four of them sat in the car back to the hotel, and no one in the car spoke. Seryozha looked out of the window and said nothing. Yuri wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Seryozha has thoroughly understood the rules of the game in this world. Friendship is with people like Yakov, Mikhail, Yuri, Boris and Dad. The most important thing for people like them is Strength, without strength, it is useless to say anything. Seryozha sighed inwardly. Suddenly he thought of something, yes he thought of it, isn't it just strength, as long as you show enough strength, people who want to cooperate will come to you by themselves. Seryozha figured this out, immediately regained his energy, and said to himself: "Go to his mother's Lomonosov, to his mother's Tatars, I will make you all come to beg this time. I."
