The wild flowers on the meadow dye the spring on the Lena River into a gorgeous golden color.
From late June to the end of September, during the three months of summer, the surface frozen soil begins to melt, and everything revives and strives to grow during this period. This is their time. And the humans living here have entered a rare leisure time.
There are boats floating on the river.
Dark brown, with a 100-meter-long slender hull and golden sails, it is beautiful, elegant and full of power. Just like the boat owner sitting on the bow of the boat fishing.
Li Muye's eyes stayed on the water, and the front of the fishing rod in his hand kept trembling and nodding, which was a sign of a successful fish. But his mind was not on fishing, and he did not notice the movement on the fishing rod at all.
"Do you know why I invited you on my boat alone?" The middle-aged man looked at the calm water and said in standard Mandarin.
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Li Muye tightened the fishing line. The power transmitted from the water was astonishing. Li Muye's attention was suddenly attracted. He struggled to hold the fishing rod and shook the pulley rhythmically. Gather the fishing line.
The middle-aged man is Anasayev, the wild father who used to be Li Zhonghua and was almost completely forgotten by Li Muye.
"Eljin Mining is actually a very good company." He suddenly said something that puzzled Li Muye, and then continued: "But if compared with the diamond mine of Kut Engineering Machinery Company, it is too inferior. More, Timov and Bergomi are both smart people and should know this very well."
Li Muye went all out to fight against the huge underwater creature. The line of the fishing rod was stretched tightly and made a buzzing sound.
"No matter how big the fish is, it's just a fish. I don't believe I can't catch you!" Li Muye stared at the water without squinting, as if he didn't even notice what the middle-aged man said.
"Haha." Anasayev smiled and said: "No matter how good a fisherman or fishing rod is, there is a fishing limit. Facing an opponent that has no chance of defeating him, smart people should learn to let go in time, otherwise the prey may catch it. Become a hunter.”
"I'm here to fish, not to guess riddles with you." Li Muye slowed down for a moment, while maintaining the pull on the big guy underwater, and said: "As long as you master the correct fishing skills, no matter how big the fish is, you can catch it." There are times when you’re tired.”
"I heard that you are from China?" Anasayev said: "Before I met you, I had been wondering what kind of person they would find to cause trouble for me. After meeting you, I suddenly realized that it turned out that They didn’t just hire one person, they hired a strong team.”
"I don't understand what you are saying." Li Muye continued to reel in the line. The underwater power was weakening, but it still posed a threat to the fishing rod and line group. He had to take a while to reel in the line.
Anasayev said: "Son, you have no chance of success."
I don't know if this sentence refers to the fish underwater, or what he thinks Li Muye is doing. When Li Muye heard the word "child" coming out of his mouth, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "Great miracles all begin with a brave attempt."
Anasayev said: "Tragic failures are often related to overestimating one's capabilities."
Li Muye said: "You may not believe it, but I have been here since March. So far, the only serious thing I have done is fishing. Now that I have finally waited for the fish to bite the hook, how can I give up so easily?"
Anasayev said: "Did you know that the Mark sturgeon in the Lena River can grow up to one thousand kilograms? Especially in this season, all the male fish will rush out to migrate to the Lake Baikal area to find females to spread their offspring. Those who can overcome the long cold winter and swim to these waters are almost none weighing less than 300 kilograms. Do you really think you can catch one on your own?"
The power under the water suddenly increased, and Li Muye could hardly control the fishing rod. The whole person stumbled forward, but finally stabilized his body. Then he took out the scissors from his tool bag and decisively cut the fishing line.
"I just enjoy fishing. It would be no fun if I were caught by a fish." Li Muye said in a relaxed tone: "I don't understand what team you are talking about. I am just a businessman, and the principles of doing business are the same. It’s the same as fishing, just do what you can. The fish conditions here are complicated and the water conditions are confusing. If I hadn’t been invited, I actually wouldn’t have wanted to come. But since I’m here, I can’t go in vain. I have to experience the talent. Be willing to, now you have seen it.”
Anasayev said: "When it's time to break, it's time to break. You're quite straightforward."
"But I don't want to leave here just yet." Li Muye said.
"Why?" Anasayev looked at Li Muye with a displeased face and said, "You should know by now that things here are very complicated, and there are some things that a half-year-old child like you cannot get involved in."
"First of all, I'm not a grown-up kid anymore. Secondly, I'm not here to get involved in complicated things. I'm here to find someone. I won't give up until I find the person I'm looking for." Li Muye stared intently. Staring at Anasayev, he said: "Having said that, let me make it clear to you. I don't care whether you are Anasayev or Li Zhonghua, and I don't care how big a career you have here with Teemo. What kind of grievances are there between my husband and Chen Miao? In short, I am here to see my sister."
There was a long silence.
Snap!
The fishing rod in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly made a crisp crackling sound, and it was actually cracked by his hands. While the fishing rod was still in his hand, the tip of the rod suddenly dropped, and he actually caught a fish at this moment. He held the broken fishing rod and shook the pulley slowly without saying anything. The fishing line is taut and the fishing rod has already gained strength. His wrist trembled subtly, and at the same time, his hand shook the hand wheel without stopping for a moment.
After a while, a huge swimming and struggling figure appeared on the water. He smiled and said: "At least five hundred kilograms!"
Li Muye was dumbfounded, and suddenly understood why Chen Miao and Timov regarded him as a thorn in their side but could do nothing to him. Based on the precise and delicate control of the force of the pole hand and the strong force when shaking the hand wheel, it is estimated that Brother Ah Fai may not have this ability.
The fish has been dragged to the position where the stern of the boat is flush with the water, and it can be brought onto the boat with just a little more effort. But he suddenly shook his hand and used some clever technique to retract the fishhook. The fish swung its tail and disappeared into the water with a pop.
"If you can retract but not let go, you can't do big things. If you can let go but you can't retract, you can't even do anything." Anasayev said: "Only being able to retract and let go is the great state of hardness and softness."
The reason is not difficult to understand, but Li Muye didn't know why he said it at this time. Although he showed off his amazing skills, Li Muye didn't think it had anything to do with what he was going to talk to him about now.
Anasayev threw aside the fishing rod in his hand, clapped his hands, and said: "Since you are determined to stay, then do whatever you want." After saying that, he ordered someone to fetch two wine glasses and A bottle of wine, and he poured a glass for himself and Li Muye.
Li Muye refused: "I never drink when talking about business."
Anasayev did not feel dissatisfied, took back the wine glass and placed it on the side of the ship, saying: "My child, seeing you appear in front of me in this capacity, I feel both gratified and sad. Overall, I am more gratified. He waved his hand to block what Li Muye was about to say, and continued: "You don't have to say anything. It's better to know some things clearly in your heart. I think you should understand now why you are here, but you must not What I do know is what your presence means to me and this land.”
"My growing up experience told me not to place my hopes on anyone." Li Muye said, "But when I face you today, I think you owe me an explanation."
"Forget it, I only have an incomplete story." Anasayev drank another glass of strong wine and said: "If you want to hear it, I will tell you, but if you miss today, I will not tell you again." Acknowledge every word you said today.”
Li Muye sat quietly in the warm cabin, listening and watching.
Anasayev said unhurriedly: "This story begins twenty-two years ago. At that time, a special steel factory in China launched a key research project. This was a special project related to the aerospace industry. , all participants must sign a confidentiality contract, and no matter whether they are technical experts in specific operations or engineers responsible for scientific research, not even a little bit of metal foam can be taken out."
Li Muye knew that he was talking about the special steel factory. When she was a child, Shi Zhenzhen once told herself that at that time he was a technical expert and the backbone of the business in the factory, and his godfather Zhang Li was still a technical engineer at that time.
"The security check is very strict, and personnel from relevant departments are in charge of the factory in shifts 24 hours a day. Almost no one can take secrets out of the factory." Anasayev continued: "But on the day when the project made a major breakthrough, a The person in charge of security inspection was involved in a car accident on the way home and died on the spot. The driver who killed the person was someone from the factory. However, after the person was killed, he went to find the wife of the technical backbone who was responsible for a key link in the project. , but the technical backbone who had been practicing boxing since childhood found out and punched him to death."
This technical backbone should be Li Zhonghua. Li Muye then thought that the security guard who was killed was Chen Miao's husband
Anasayev was still talking: "The technical backbone who killed the man was angry and panicked at the time. At that time, he and his wife already had an eight-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son. He loved his wife very much and couldn't help it. Accepting his wife's betrayal, after he killed someone by mistake, a bigger scapegoat came up. The project was leaked and the driver was a major suspect, but he learned that the driver found his wife that day to pass on secrets. "
"In this way, this person immediately has a serious suspicion of murder and silence." Li Muye said: "But if he betrayed his wife, at most it was just self-defense and mistaken for killing someone by mistake. Why didn't he do this instead? Abandoning a pair of children and running away?"
"This man loves his wife very much and refuses to hand over this vain woman who is bewitched and exploited by others." Anasayev continued with a regretful expression: "He escaped with his outstanding skills. He would rather bear all the charges, but at the same time, he was also unwilling to find the American who dragged his wife into the water. Later, he tracked the American to the Far East."
"The American was very skilled, and his marksmanship was particularly good. It was not so easy to be caught by him. During a tracking process, he was shot and became seriously ill." Anasayev's eyes flashed with a soft color. , showing an expression of recollection, and said: "The daughter of the great shaman of Yakut saved him on the Lena River. After that serious illness, he forgot many things and fell in love with that simple and lovely woman again, so he stayed Come down."
"What happened next?" Li Muye heard this and thought there was an unreasonableness in the story, so he asked: "Since he and the American are mortal enemies, how did he change everything here together with the American? ?" (End of this chapter)
