The sky was overcast, thick clouds were pressing down in the sky, and snowflakes were falling one after another.

I stood alone in front of Lenin's tomb on Red Square, gazing at the pale yellow dome of the government building that towered over the Kremlin moat. I felt very strange in my heart, why couldn't I see anyone else in the daytime, not even the guards standing guard in front of the tomb, and I was the first person standing alone in the square?

It was so quiet that you could only hear your own breathing. I began to panic, there was nothing to lean on, and my feet were involuntarily moving forward. I walked along the Vasily slope next to St. Basil's Church until I reached the Moscow River. After crossing the large stone bridge, walk west along the river.

The streets were silent, no vehicles or pedestrians in sight, and nothing could be heard except for my footsteps and breathing. My heart became more and more afraid, what is the matter, has I traveled back to Moscow in 2012, an empty city that has long been deserted?

The snow stopped at some point, and after passing through a few familiar streets and then a few European-style buildings, it came to a huge puddle.

There was a medium-sized, slender female soldier standing beside the puddle with her back to me. Looking at the back of this blonde female soldier in a summer military uniform and a boat-shaped cap, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and my body involuntarily moved towards her.

"Hello!" Without looking back, she said "hello" instead of "hello", and continued like an old friend who had known me for many years: "You're finally here!" ”

"Who are you?" Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say 'You're finally here'?" ”

"Do you know the truth?" Instead of answering my question, she said to herself: "My husband Oshanin was baptized here as a child. ”

Oshanin?! It sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere. Isn't it usually in a river or a church to be baptized, how can you come to such a big puddle?

"Who are you?" I pressed again.

"Don't you know who I am?!" She asked me rhetorically.

"I don't know," I replied honestly, "but my back is familiar to me, and there is a sense of intimacy. ”

"Really? So take a good look at who I am? She turned as she spoke.

What caught my eye was a melancholy and handsome face, which looked very, very familiar, but unfortunately I couldn't remember for a moment where I had ever seen this face.

"Do you think I'm familiar?" With a smile on her face, she probably saw that I was still at a loss, so she kindly reminded me: "Think about it, when you look in the mirror every morning, is this the face you see in the mirror?" ”

"Ahh Although I heard her say this, I still didn't come back to my senses: how can I see your face when I look in the mirror every day.

Seeing that I was still staring at her stupidly, she smiled and looked at me with a smile and said, "I'm Lida Mushdakova Oshanina." ”

With her words, it was like a bomb exploding around me, and I couldn't help but take two steps back, look at her with wide eyes, look at her in horror, and ask in disbelief: "You are Lida Mushidakova Oshanina!" So who am I? With that, I rushed to the edge of the puddle and looked down at the puddle. Two identical beautiful faces appeared on the water, the difference being that the real Leda was still wearing a summer military uniform, while I was wearing a thick military coat.

"Who are you?" Leda asked me softly beside me.

yes, who am I? This is a question that I have been asking myself constantly for months, I was originally a man, but I somehow traveled to another time and space, and became a woman.

"Who are you?" Leda asked me again.

"I come from the future, once I went swimming in the Moscow River, I had an accident, I fainted, and when I woke up, I found that I had somehow become you." I answered her honestly, and before I knew it, I had changed my address from "you" to "you".

"Oh!" She asked thoughtfully, "You probably aren't Russian, because I hear you talking to yourself a lot of times in a voice I don't understand." ”

"Yes, I'm not Russian." I was very happy to identify myself with her: "I am a businessman, a Chinese businessman doing business in Moscow, and my name is Tang. ”

"Understood." She nodded, and then asked me: "Also, I often hear you hum a very nice song, the lyrics of which appear in Moscow and Leningrad, I wonder what the Tao means, can you tell me?" ”

"Yes, which song is it, can you sing me two lines?"

She softly hummed two of them: "Let red burn Moscow, memory smeared Leningrad." "Her pronunciation is round, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a Chinese singing this song."

After listening to the lyrics I had translated for her in Russian, she asked softly: "Do you think Moscow, which is burning with war, can hold back the crazy attack of the German devils?" ”

"No problem, I can definitely block it." Without hesitation, I replied to her: "Except for the German prisoners, the other Germans have no chance to enter Moscow." ”

"I'm relieved when you say that." I felt visibly relieved when she heard me say that.

"That's right." I was very interested in the puddle in front of me, so I asked her curiously, "What is this puddle all about, and why did your husband Oshanin be baptized here when he was a child?" ”

"Don't you know the way?" She asked me in amazement: "This was originally the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was demolished in 1931 by the government in order to build the Palace of the Soviets here." ”

"Oh, I see." When I heard her say this, I remembered that this was indeed the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in the later generations, and it was no wonder that the buildings I saw on the road were so familiar. In 31 years, the cathedral was blown up by Stalin's order, and the Soviet Palace was built here, and a bronze statue of Stalin more than ten meters high was planned to be placed on it. Unexpectedly, when the foundation was being excavated, a collapse accident occurred, killing several construction workers, and the project was forced to be interrupted for a while. It took several years to lay the foundation, but it was flooded overnight and turned into a large puddle, and the place was abandoned. In the 50s, Khrushchev once converted this place into a Lenin indoor heated swimming pool, but he did not expect that people were drowned soon after it opened, and he had no choice but to close it. It was not until the beginning of the 90s, after Yeltsin came to power, that he spent a lot of money to rebuild the cathedral, and in September 95, on the eve of the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow, it was completed.

"What are you thinking?" Lida asked suddenly, interrupting my train of thought.

"Ahh Didn't think about anything. I replied hurriedly, and then asked her, "By the way, do you know the whereabouts of your husband?" ”

She shook her head and said, "I don't know." I don't know if he disappeared, whether he was sacrificed, captured, or exiled somewhere else. ”

"Don't be upset, Leda." I comforted her and said, "When I have the opportunity to go back to Leningrad in the future, I will definitely help you find out about his whereabouts." Rest assured, this is my promise to you. ”

"Thank you, my friend." She looked at me gratefully and said, "Actually, I have one more important thing I want to ask you. I don't know if you're willing to help me with this? ”

"Say it, Leda. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely promise you. "I thought to myself, she doesn't want me to give her my body back, does she? But what she said next was a great relief to me. "My mother and son Alik live in Pochnok, a small city near the 171 Railway Concession, and when you have a chance to go back to Leningrad, you can go and see them for me, okay?"

"No problem, Leda." I readily agreed to her request: "When I return to Leningrad, I will take your mother and son with me and take good care of them in your place." ”

"Thank you, my friend." With a happy expression on her face, she smiled at me and said, "It's time for me to go, good luck!" With that, she vanished out of thin air in front of me, disappearing without a trace, as if she had never appeared at all.

"Leda! ~~Lida!! ~~" I shouted loudly around the empty area.

"Comrade Commander! Comrade Commander! "I felt someone gently shaking me and whispering in my ear. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be the driver who had taken me to the headquarters of the group army, and when he saw that I had opened my eyes, he pointed to the front and said: "Comrade commander!" The headquarters of the 16th Regiment arrived, and it was in the woods on the side of the road ahead. ”

I nodded gratefully at him, opened the door next to me, jumped out of the car with agility, and walked quickly towards the headquarters in the woods by the roadside.
