Chapter 7 - From Lakeside to Novgorod: New Encounters and Escapes

Alex approached the boat from the shore...he enjoyed driving the boat and it was his first time

...he closed the boat's engine...and lifted it...and went down into the water...it was not deep...he began towing the boat…to the edge...as he watches they do..." Evan...how are you"..." Fine Mr. Alex

...I will call the owner of the boat to take it...You don't need it anymore...

Alex: No...no more. we will go today...to the city of Novgorod...it's near here

In the car "...the beer cart...was cruising around...and a salesman boy called out..."Beer...delicious beer...cold beer"... Alex reached the sandy beach... with the boat's rope in hand

Evan was walking and talking to the boat boy..."Evan...order the beer cart

...to come...at the tent..." Evan shouted, pointing with his hand...at the cart...the boy advanced towards Alex...and gave him the rope..."It's in good shape...thank you...I gave you the money..."

Before I get on the boat..." Yes sir...thank you"..."Go get yourself a cold beer from the wagon"

Evan stood talking to the owner of the cart..."Do you make beer or buy it?" The boy welcomed him

"Go ahead and choose..the one in the barrel we manufacture...they are excellent...the one in the bottles and cans...you know it...of course buy it..." Alex approached the cart..." hello...give them what they want and I'll give me a cold beer."... The boat boy took a bottle in his hand, "Thank you" and went

Alex started drinking..." Oh...how good...and in the right place"... Evan took a glass

Of Beer..."Beer is good...how many carts are you"..."We have a small brewery in the city

We sell it to restaurants and some shops in 5-liter plastic containers...and for carts 3"

Evan: Pour me another glass...it relieves me

Alex: Well...how much is the account

Boy: 650 rubles

Alex gave him the money..." Come on, Evan...don't drink too much...this is the last glass."..Alex went

To his car...opened it..." Uh...the turkey, I'm going to slaughter it now"...he saw...the box of apples...

He took it out and put it in the tent... Evan came..."Look, Evan... I stayed in the half box

...come on, eat 3 apples, and I have to take a vitamin

Evan: It's in good condition...not spoiled

Alex: I'm going to slaughter the turkey... I'm going to make the spice mix myself

...I will add more pepper...and you rest...you look tired

Evan: I'll rest for half an hour...then the fatigue will go away

Alex sat..in the tent..and started eating apples

Evan: It contains pills... Can it be eaten?

Alex: No...it contains cyanide

Evan: What is this article?

Alex: I read an article...it's toxic...you shouldn't eat apple seeds

Evan: Once, my wife made apple pie...and she put some kind of flavor on it

...of the students' spices..and she said it was the favorite pie of the American president

Barack Obama

Alex looked attentively at Evan. "You said the favorite of US President Barack Obama

...ok I'll write it in my diary"

Alex got up and took out a small notebook from his bag and started writing in it

Alex calmed down..Evan lay on his back...and he felt sleepy...it was the air

nice enter the tent through its small window and its open door

Half an hour passed... Evan was asleep... Alex got up... afraid

He got out of the tent and went to his car... He reached out and grabbed it by the wing

The turkey was making loud noises..."Where did you put the knife?"

He reached his other hand under the chair...and pulled out a knife...pulled out the turkey

...out..."Now I will do as I saw"...put his leg on her leg

He grabbed her head and put the knife on her neck... He quickly cut her neck

...she squirmed..."What is this...she died...Alex...you killed Victor"

Alex looked at Evan angrily..."I woke up from her loud voice"

Alex: I killed...

Evan laughed... Alex looked at the blood on the soil... then laughed...

"I will clean it of its feathers, as I saw in the village."

Evan: What village is this?

Alex: My father's village we used to visit...a lot, of people were there

 Like a butcher shop...they cut up cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens

Evan: Great...you'll find the wood cut for the grill...at the tent

 ...I will go back and rest in the tent

Alex started skinning the turkey's feathers..."Ha-ha-ha-and-now

...I will cut you"

It's 2 pm... Evan was sleeping.. inside the tent.. Alex entered

In the tent..."Get up...Get up... Evan" Evan opened his eyes, "When are we?"

...Alex took his towel "Now noon"...dry himself it was wet

"I immersed myself in the lake...and washed my body with soap"

Evan got up. "And what about the turkey?"

Alex came out of the tent..."It's ready to grill…I added to it

spice mix an hour ago

Evan: I'm going to burn wood for the grill... I'm going to use the metal grate...

Describe the turkey

Alex: I made two different portions of the spice, one nice and the other spicy with pepper

Evan describes the logs in the stove and puts pieces of newspaper between them

And magazines... "Mr. Alex... where did you put the turkey?"

Alex took a plastic bowl...and gave it to him..."It's all here."

Evan made the fire..."Okay...wait for the wood to burn completely...lay

pieces on the metal mesh

It was a group of families, talking..."Look...barbecue smoke...going up."

They were in their cars and pitched two big tents... Some of the men were naked

And they only wear shorts. "What... Sergey... why don't we do the same and make grills?"

"Awesome idea..my dear...we'd like to get a big pig to suffice us all."

And they all laughed.

Alex stuck his fork into the grilled pieces..."It's ready... Evan

...bring the dishes." Ivan answered, "I will bring them." He found the dishes

The washed dishes is in their place near the tent...he picked them up...and brought them to Alex

"Well...Alex...we had bought onions and sweet green peppers...and tomatoes and pickled them

With turkey chops

Alex: Good idea...for next time...Evan, I'd tell you

We will leave for the city after eating

Evan: And did you decide that quickly?

Alex was putting the grilled pieces on the plates, "Yes..because I have

An appointment in the newspaper... the day after tomorrow morning."

Evan: Don't worry...I'll remind you of her

Alex: Clouds are gathering...it might rain

The sun's rays are now obscured...and the cold air is increasing

Evan: Good luck...I've roasted it all...I'll bring the dishes into the tent

The wind gusts became more and more...with raindrops... Alex shouted, "Ivan...

The wind may overturn the barbecue stove"

Evan: Pour water on her and bend her to the ground... I will tie the ropes of the tent

It was raining...and it was getting more and more... Alex entered the tent..."I felt that

The tent will come off..." Evan entered the tent..."Don't worry...it's strong...

I will open the small window partially."

Alex: Come on...let's eat

Evan took a thigh..and started eating it...it's amazing

Alex: Yes...delicious...it's fresh just slaughtered...

Alex was eating..."Oh...it's hot...how's the pepper

Evan: I don't know where you put the same pepper mixture

The sound of rain falling on the roof of the tent was getting louder... Alex came out to 

takes a look...he saw people entering their tents and others sitting in their cars

...and some are standing in the rain...complaining about the sudden bad weather

Evan: It's hot...medium...not intense

Alex: I have two 2-liter Fanta soft drinks in the car

Evan: 2 liters is a lot

Alex: I'll get them...they're strawberry red and orange with orange flavor

The sound of lightning rose… "I hope… Mister Alex, it won't rain in the coming days

Alex went to his car...and looked around..." there might be bumps and water holes"

... took the two bottles and walked quickly to the tent

Evan: Ah...as if you're in a war...and inside with 2 bomb

Alex: Which would you choose?

Evan: I'll take that after your choice

Alex: Well... I'll put them in.. and pour us into plastic cups, whichever one we want

Two hours passed... and the rain started to ease

Alex: I had the turkey bones left...that was amazing

Evan: Do you intend to move now?

Alex: It's six o'clock in the evening... Let's start collecting the things and dismantling the tent

The car was on its way...to the city of Novgorod...the rain stopped, except for a few drops

Light...it was cloudy

Alex: I was glad that they invited me to do the press interview

Evan: You are a great teacher, you deserve to be on TV

The road was dark...and was damp

Evan: Watch out...for the speed...and for the turns...the road is wet and you might go out

the car off the track

Alex: I see a lot of hungry villagers

Evan: As we said, what village is in it... unless they secure themselves the resources of life?

Alex: Yes, in...all the world...the villagers...work in the fields

The features of the city began to appear... lights... and buildings

Evan: Do you know which hotel we will be staying in?

Alex: I will watch them on my mobile phone.

They entered the city...many were multi-story buildings...some of them 

Old Soviet...some of them are new...trees around them...scattered shops

on the roads.

Alex: This is Novgorod. It was founded in 859 AD.

Evan: An ancient history... It has palaces and castles

Alex: Yes...the seat of the great rulers is in this city

Let's... see her up close... Alex is speeding up... and looking

 on the map on his cell phone

Evan: Novgorod was a republic...and it was an independent Russian principality

Alex: Exactly...it was a republic in 1478 AD...

 And now it's like any other Russian city...

There was a castle...with towers on its large, high wall

Alex moved closer to her

Evan: It's the ancient Kremlin castle

Alex: There is this Kremlin in Moscow

Ivan: It was an ancient capital

Alex: And after it became the second place, Kyiv became the capital of the Russians

Evan: Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine... and why... Mr. Alex, we don't make a union

Ukraine... is historically ours

Alex: Yes, it and the Republic of Belarus... Historically, we were one entity

But now they are independent states...Ukraine does not want to unite with us, like

Belarus, which seems to want to dissolve the state of our union

Ivan: The number of Russians in Ukraine is very large, about 8 million

There are regions and republics, the majority of which are Russians, such as Donetsk and Lugansk

Alex: We've fought many, long wars...and we're still protecting these Russian communities

...in the end, you will have independence as the Republic of Donetsk and Luhansk

I hope others

Alex approached the Kremlin...there were many trees around and darkness

"Uh...what is this"... Alex pointed with a finger

Evan: Oh my God... Alex what to do

It was a man with a big knife behind the trees, appearing and disappearing

.. He was wearing a historical black robe and had a large beard, and a huge body in the fifties of age

Alex: Let's run...he might kill us

The man wanted to approach them and the knife was shining

Evan: Come on...the guy's crazy

They ran...

Alex was sitting in the hotel watching TV

Evan: The hotel is good and in the city center

Alex: It's late now... Evan, let's sleep now

Evan: What do we do tomorrow?

Alex: After tomorrow a press interview... and tomorrow we are walking around

Evan: You and I will go to the bar in the hotel

...I made an ATM withdrawal...about 50,000 rubles

Alex: Put the money in the hotel safe...so they don't rob you

...and turn off the lights when you're gone... Alex lay down on his bed and cover-up

Two hours passed... Evan opened the door to the room... and there was a girl with him... Evan whispered

"Let's go in quietly....this is Surrey."

"Well, and from the second person..."It's Alex, my friend...Victoria, he's a university teacher."

"Uh… teacher… well… let's try not to wake him up."

Victoria was a graceful, pretty girl, blonde and tall And with a sexy big body 

She wears evening wear...a short black skirt and a white blouse

It has shiny gold and silver stripes

Evan: There's the bathroom... do you want to take a shower?

Victoria: All right...I'm going to take a shower...where's the towel

The room was dark except for a little light from the night lamp

It was furnished with fine, beautiful furniture, red and gold

Evan: The towel hanging on the right is new

Evan took off his clothes... and fell asleep in the bed... and covered himself with a quilt

...Evan was ecstatic...happy...and amused

"Ivan, who are you with?"

Evan looked at Alex: she's a good girl... I recognized her

At the bar, her name is Victoria.

Alex: All right...don't make any noise...I'm going to sleep

Victoria came out, wrapping herself in a white towel. "Ivan," she whispered

"Come on, make a place for me on the bed."

Evan sat on the bed..."Come on...under the quilt"

"Oh...you're such a sexy man"..."Stay till morning"

Alex could hear their whispering and smiling... The sound of the bed rocking was enjoying Alex

Victoria: She says he's...a university professor...and he's going to do an interview in the newspaper..let me see him

Evan called out to Alex in a low voice, "Alex…" "Yes, I am awake… I can hear you."

Evan: Victoria wants to get to know you

Alex: Yes, as he told you

Victoria: From which university are you, Professor Alex?

Alex laughed and said from his bed and turned on the room lamp, "I'm from Moscow."

Victoria looked at him with a smile.

Alex: Tomorrow morning we will take a walk around the city with Evan

Victoria: Would you like to meet my friends?

Alex: Tomorrow...now I'm going to turn on the TV for you two until you fall asleep

Lie down, Alex... The TV was playing the music channel

Alex made her voice calm...and everyone fell asleep.
