Alaska is vast and quiet in winter. Except for the coastline, most areas are covered by snow and ice.

It was early evening when Huang Liang and Kui Wolf arrived in Anchorage.

Days in Alaska are very short this season, and it's dark before four o'clock. The lights of the city have long been on, but they are not as bright as the snow reflected by the Chugach Snow Mountain behind it. A golden moon hung high on the top of the mountain, without any dust and fog blocking its light, as bright as the sun in the dark night.

A young man named Enluk came to pick them up. Hong Kui said that he was also an Inuit, and he was still his distant cousin. But they don't pay much attention to seniority like the Chinese, so they don't care much about it, but because of the relationship between race and blood, they are extremely united.

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, and the Wolf family will certainly not give up this place.

As early as a hundred years ago, when this place was just a port of the newly built Alaska Railway, they began to invest here. At that time, the Wolf family was far from being as strong as it is today. The construction of Meryl Airport and Li Chasen Fortress were not close to them, but they also achieved good results in developing scattered commerce around the railway. Many years later It becomes a considerable commercial district.

In 1964, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake occurred in the Anchorage area, and everything was facing reconstruction. The Wolf family inevitably suffered huge losses, but reconstruction gave them a chance. They began to fully intervene in the construction of towns and the development of local resources. In 1968, oil was discovered in Prado Bay on the north coast of Alaska. That area was the home of the Eskimos, and the Wolf family became the biggest beneficiaries. Correspondingly, Anchorage, which is in the southern transportation hub, has also been better developed.

Enruk is very talkative, and while driving, he tells them everything about this place. Of course, he was mainly speaking to Huang Liang, a foreigner, and Hong Kui had already taken a nap in the back seat.

Huang Liang knew that he had come to bear a heavy responsibility this time, and he should not and have no intention of lingering in the scenery around him, but Enruck's enthusiasm infected him, and he couldn't help but imagine the past and present of this city.

It can be heard that Enruck is very proud of being a member of the Wolf family, even if he has never been involved in the core affairs of the family, or even went to Vancouver.

They did not check into the luxury tourist hotel in downtown Anchorage, nor did they see the large manor they had imagined, but entered a small villa on the outskirts of the city.

Hong Kui said that this is the first property of the Wolf family in Anchorage. A hundred years ago, this place was full of simple work sheds. Although it is a little far away from the port, many dockers are still willing to live here, just for the hot wine that can make people's internal organs and even bones burn.

Huang Liang drank this wine in front of the fireplace in the house. It is said that it was brewed using ancient Indian methods. The wine is not particularly strong, but it is indeed very warm. When it is entered, it is like a warm flame swallowed into the abdomen and scattered into the limbs.

Hong Kui asked him, "How about the wine?"

He said: "This is probably the best wine I have ever drunk in my life."

Hong Kui sighed and said, “Indians don’t think so. They prefer to drink spirits from Europe. The colonists took advantage of this and gained more benefits from the fur trade. Spirits are like The spread of drugs in Indian tribes quickly consumed their wealth and spirit. They forgot that their ancestors could also make wine in their alcoholism, and they could make the most beautiful wine in the world."

Huang Liang looked at the white wine in the cup like goat's milk and asked curiously: "Where did the wine I drink now come from?"

Enruk, who has been with them, said: "This is made in our family's winery. More than a hundred years ago, when the railway was just opened here, Master Wolfe wanted to open a winery here. He invited Some Indians came to make wine, and the technology was preserved in this way. Now the winemakers in the winery have changed for many generations, and none of them are Indians."

Huang Liang sounded a little sorrowful. People always fail to see the precious things they own, and easily believe that foreign things are good.

He said: "Fortunately, it has been preserved. Finally, I have a good taste. It would be great if I could drink this kind of wine every day. The citizens of Anchorage are really lucky!"

Hong Kui smiled and said, "You have a good taste, but the citizens of Anchorage are not so lucky. The production of this kind of wine is very low. In the past, wine was very precious in Indian tribes because of the production of wine. It’s too low, and the Indians are very good wine. Normally, the wine produced by this brewing method is not enough for the people of a tribe. They can only drink it every year on special days. Normally, only tribes can drink. The leaders and important people of the company can drink a few sips. Although we have improved the technology now, we can’t change the raw materials and basic processes to maintain the taste. The output is still very low. So we only drink it for the insiders. This wine is on the outside. There is no selling at all."

Huang Liang instantly felt that the cup in his hand was a little heavier, but its mellow wine taste was much weaker. The taste of wine is always mixed with the human touch, no matter how good the wine lacks the human touch, the wine is not wine.

At this time, Enruck, who was leaning against the fireplace and swiping his phone, suddenly yelled: "Oh my God, what the **** is this!"

His voice is extremely abnormal, and I don't know what kind of news he got to make him so shocked. Huang Liang and Hong Kui looked at him together, and he looked at them too.

"Look at your mobile phones, and open a video app or news webpage." Enluk said.

Huang Liang and Hong Kui looked at each other and took out their mobile phones at the same time.

Then, he saw Selena's familiar face and the gentle and moving voice.

A trace of imperceptible mental power quietly drifted away in the room, and the flames in the fireplace were beating.

Not long ago, Selena also appeared at Huang Liang's wedding, sending him blessings and expressing gratitude to him.

Huang Liang remembered clearly that she said that his courage inspired her and that she woke her up. She wanted to do the right thing. Hearing what she meant was to stop an important action initiated by the organization. She said that she would become a rebellious organization like him, be chased by the organization, and live in freedom and danger.

Huang Liang has been guessing what she will do, but she never expected that she would launch such a shocking live speech. What he didn't even think of was the ending of the live broadcast.

When Selena talked about "mortal freedom", Huang Liang turned to look at Hong Kui, and he happened to look at him.

He saw the shock on his face, he could even see the flame in his heart from his eyes, and the blood in his heart was surging. He finally understood why this Master Wolf, who was sitting at home and waiting to inherit billions of fortunes, wanted to go to the ice and snow to find the illusory dream holy place so persistently. He must have known something long ago, what he has been searching for.

Huang Liang finally understood what he was pursuing. From the day he escaped from Wuzhong's prison, he was waiting for a certain day to cut off the tentacle behind his consciousness. He wants to pursue a complete self, breathe unfettered air ~lightnovelpub.net~ and let his consciousness fly freely in the universe.

The moment Selena died, the more he found out, the heavier burdens on him, and how difficult the trip was.

That night, none of them spoke, nor fell asleep. Until the sky shone, Hong Kui said:

"It's going to speed up, Enruk, you go and arrange, we go to Kenai Mountain."

Enruck asked, "Is it right now? There is ice on the road right now..."

"Immediately." Hong Kui said categorically.

Enruck didn't say much any more, got up and went out to go.

The moment he opened the door, Huang Liang vaguely saw a dark shadow flashing past the door.

He thought of the gloomy face hiding behind the cloak on TV.

No, it's impossible! The live broadcast has just ended. It is more than two thousand kilometers away from Vancouver. He can't be that fast. Huang Liang thought so.
