- I wish to tell, - Krajuhin continued, - that else half a year back you, apparently, were a bachelor.
- Yes, - has chilly answered Bulls, - I and now a bachelor. While...
He has suddenly understood that Krajuhin knows about it much and asks questions not because is interested in answers
and to make "personal impression", or with any other not clear purpose. It was unpleasant, and Bulls has pricked up the
ears.
- While I a bachelor, - have repeated it.
- Hence, - Krajuhin has told, - near relations at you are not present? - Hence, no.
- And you, so to say, are absolutely lonely and independent...
- Yes, it is lonely. While it is lonely.
- Where, you speak, served recently? - In Gobi...
- For a long time? - Three years...
- Three years! All time in desert? - Yes. Certainly, there were small breaks. Business trips, courses... But basically in desert.
- Has not bothered? Bulls has thought.
- At first it was heavy, - he has spoken cautiously. - has then got used.
Certainly, to serve there it is hard. - he has recollected the fiery sky and black oceans of sand. - but after all and desert it is
possible to grow fond...
- Here is how? - Krajuhin has told. - to Grow fond of desert? And you love? - Has got used, certainly.
- Your last post? - The chief of a column of nuclear conveyors-cross-country vehicles gobijskoj forwarding base.
- Hence, cars well know? - Looking what...
- Here at least these your nuclear cross-country vehicles.
The question has seemed to Bykovu idle, and he has kept silent.
- Tell, it you last year supervised over rescue of expedition of Dauge? - I.
- The good fellow, have perfectly consulted! Without you they would be lost.
Bulls has shaken plechami: - For us it there was usual enough march-throw, only and all.
Eyes of Krajuhina were narrowed.
- But after all and your people have suffered, if to me memory does not change.
Bulls has reddened - at its complexion it looked awful - and has told with zlostju: - There was a Black storm! I do not brag,
companion Krajuhin. Marches under music happen only in Moscow on parades. And in sand it is more difficult.
