Ngokubanzi, uSerezha-Yellow Snow wayebonakala emncinci, eneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesixhenxe, abanye bonke bafana nabakwaChukchi. Uye kwilayibrari ephakathi waqokelela iibhotile apho endleleni. Nje ukuba aqale ukunyamalala kangangeentsuku. Wonke umntu wayehlukile, kodwa enomdla. Xa wabonayo, wabuzwa. Wathula. Kodwa xa sele enxila kwaye uSerezha Yellow Snow wavuma ukuba uza kutshata kungekudala.

Apha ndiyabondla kwaye ndifundise, njengoko utata wandikhulisayo, kwaye utata wakhe utata, kunye notata-utata, umama wakhe ngenxa yokuba engenayise. -Seryozha watyibilika ngempumlo yakhe, wakhupha ibhokhwe, wayijonga wayitya. -Ndiyamthanda u-Chupa-chups, nangona kunjalo, unika iingcinga ezihlakaniphile. Khange kube kudala ndafumana indlu yomntu. Wenyuka phakathi, wakhangela, lalikhona indawo elanele wonke umntu: inkosikazi yakhe, kunye nam, nabantwana.

Kuyinyani, kungene abanye ootishala: «Wenza ntoni?». -bayabuza. «Ukulungiswa». -Nditsho, kodwa ndaqonda kwangoko ukuba bebefike kade, indlu yona sele ihleliwe ndim. -I-Serezha Yellow Snow yathatha i-cracker phantsi kwebhedi, yacofa kwi-cockroach engazi ukuba ingagxuma njani kumthengisi, i-oyile ityhidiwe ngotyheli, kwaye igqunyiwe, iyicime. URusk uqhekekile, kodwa akaphulanga. U-Chukchi wavula kancinci amehlo akhe, ejonge kwi-fang eyaphukileyo ukunamathela ngaphandle kwendlela yomqhekezi.
– Ooooooo!! wagcuma waqalisa ukufudumeza izinyo lakhe ngentende…
Ihlobo lidlulile. Ufike uChukchi ephethe iiFingals, ngaphandle kwamazinyo angaphambili. Intloko yakhe yayixhonywe kwigazi eligutyungelweyo.

inqaku lesi-6
Yifa, bitch, ngenxa yomngxunya!!
Ilanga lalikhanya. Isibhakabhaka sasicacile kwaye abantu abangabathandi bezindlu behlala ezindlini bahlala kwigumbi lokugcina iimpahla kwaye bancamathisela amakhadibhodi, babeka ezinye iibhotile, abanye bafaka iinkonkxa zealuminium zekhephu kunye nebhiya. Kwaye konke kuzolunga, kodwa kwenye yeendawo zokuhlala abafundi, kukho i-UAZ emibini enezibane ezihlaza okwesibhakabhaka kwaye ootata «bakhokelwa emnyango kwaye» babephethe izandla «umfazi kunye nabantu ababini abanxibe iimpahla zangaphantsi, ababizwa ngokuba» zi-yolks «kubantu nje abaqhelekileyo. Abahlali bendawo bebengasiqondi isizathu sokubanjwa, kuba le trio ibigcwele kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, kwaye icoca iiyadi mihla le. Ngamnye wayenoluhlu lwezinto zakhe, esele izandla ziqhelene, kwaye ezi ziphawulwe ngomtshayelo, ngesikipa nangxowa. Ezi zixhobo zabonakala kubo njenge-talisman okanye i-amulet, njengendlu okanye i-cottage yekhaya. Kwaye, makube njalo, ukuba umntu athathe umntu ongamaziyo. Yonke into, ukufa. Kranty. Kodwa uvele kule tratu ngaphambili kwesiganeko kunye ne-Madame Tumor yesine. Kwaye siyahamba.
Ngosuku olungaphambili. Ngorhatya lwakusasa, uMadam Tumor uvuke kuqala wagqiba kwelokuba abonise enye indawo, enze umsebenzi olungileyo kwaye acoce le ndawo ngelixa wonke umntu wayelele ngesiphango se-booze, oko kukuthi, ubhaliso kusapho. Onke amalungu ale «genge» akazange agwetywe kanye. Kuba engenayo eyakhe, uthathe i-inventri yomnye umntu, ngethemba lokuba, bathi, yeyakhe yonke?! Iyahamba, iyagqogqa, iqokelela iibhutsi zecuba, isusa zonke iintlobo zeeswiti kwaye ingadeleli, ijonge into emigqomeni kwaye iqokelele inkunkuma ethe saa emabaleni naseetankini ecaleni kwendlela. Sele ecoce umgangatho wommandla kwaye ngequbuliso ubona indlela kwelinye icala lendoda nomfazi balungiselela ngokuqinileyo.
– Ingcikivo. -Wacinga uMadam Tumor kwaye waqhubela phambili ekucoceni komhlaba. Ingxabano yayishushu kwaye amazwi sele eviwe, xa ngequbuliso inenekazi lakhala, elikhulu kakhulu kwaza kwakhala ingxolo eyadini. U-Madame Tumor waphakamisa amehlo kwaye wabona ukuba le ndoda ngendlela ephucukileyo ibethe inenekazi ezityeni. Abantu abadlula ngendlela abahoyi, kodwa isela elitshisiweyo lamaqanda enkukhu kunye nenkukhu eyadlulayo, ubukhulu becala, ubukhulu becala, yongezwa kukuphathwa kwe fama yenkukhu kumaqanda amabini athathwe nguye ngesicelo somlindi-cohabitant, esarekhodwa ngekhamera yokhuseleko lweli shishini. Andikwazanga kuyimela kwaye ndazimela ngomtshayelo ngapha kwendlela. Iimoto kwixakeka zimnkile, ngokungathi uphambene. Uhoya, enganikeli ngqwalaselo iimoto zamanye amazwe ezibalekayo, wabalekela ecaleni kwendlela, njengekhayithi evela ezulwini, wabalekela kumlimi, embetha ebusweni ngesikipa kunye nomtshayelo, apho inyawo yayibalekela emacaleni. Eli nenekazi laqhwanyaza amehlo alo kukungakholelwa kwaye, ligqume umlomo ngezandla, lahleka kakhulu. Ngequbuliso ukusuka apho uza kuyithatha khona. Ngequbuliso, ngaphandle kwendawo, kwavela amapolisa amathathu kwaye kwangoko aqala ukuya ku-Madame Tumor etsala. Ukukhwaza:
– Lo ubanda, wabetha inenekazi!!
– Yithobe phantsi, yehlisa umoya! – amapolisa abuza ngenhlonipho. Akukho mntu wabetha mntu. Jonga phaya. -Ukude ungabona ikhamera ye-movie kunye neqela labasebenzi beefilimu.
– Ifilimu le idutyulwe ngumchwephetsha weqonga! -ngeze ikopi yesibini.
– he yena he he!!! -mangalela owesithathu. – Kwaye inkohliso! Hu hu hu!!! Kwaye umlo!
Isundu lahlala phantsi laze laguqukela entweni, lalingqengqeleka kwiingcali, emva koko zajonga kwii-cops, zathatha umtshayelo zaya kwisiphukuphuku ngaphaya kwesitalato iFurshtatskaya.
Kwaye ngeli xesha kwi-candeyka, apho inkampani ye-gop yayivuthele khona ngaphambili, kwaye ngoku i-wipers ivukile kwi-hangover, babona ukuba enye yeempahla ezilahlekileyo yayilahlekile okanye yayilahlekile, yakhula imilenze yakhe babaleka, baqala ukulungiselela iyelenqe lokubhenca isela okanye imilenze yakhe. Banikezele ngeebhotile ezishiywe kwimpelaveki ephelileyo, bakha isitya sokutshiza esibizwa ngokuba «yi-Snowflake» kwaye, beyisongele amanzi ukusuka kwindlu yangasese, ngenxa yokunqongophala kwetephu, ngokunxulumene nokulungiswa kombhobho, baqala kancinci ukusela, besitya izitya ezazihluthiwe izolo ebizwa ngokuba yi-bay kwaye inegwele kakhulu.
Yayikufuphi imini. U-Madam Tumor wayibetha ngengoma intombazana egwetyiweyo, wabuyela kwi-candey, ephethe, ngesandla esinye, uluhlu, kunye nengxowa ephethe i-aluminium cans yeebhiya kunye neebhotile. Ngaphandle kokucinga okanye ukukrokrela nantoni na, wavula umnyango wangena kwi-candeika, ejongene nengqibelelo yakhe…
Kwangoko, wadibana nokujonga kude.
– Kulungile, yintoni? -Kuqala ikhonsathi eyoyikisayo, umhlolokazi omnyama, owabulala amadoda akhe amathathu, ekuhlaleni endaweni yababulali eneminyaka eli-15 kwathiwa nguKampuchea, nangobuzwe-Kalmyk ngaphandle kwamazinyo angaphambili.

– Yintoni, ntoni? – yongeze ngakumbi igama lakhe le-hahal eligama lingu-Balamut ngohlobo lwesifo sephepha esivulekileyo. -Kwi-esile fuck, ayitshisi??
– Ndiqagela isizathu sokungqubana, utshilo uMadam Tumor. -Ndicocile indawo.
– Kwaye njani? -ubuze umntu wesithathu kulo mdlalo we-comic comer, ogama lingu-Fox.
– Ngaba yonke into icocekile?! watsho.
– Kwaye siya fuck! -Bhengezwe iKampuchea. – ayingomsebenzi wakho lo, ayizothathwa nguwe, awuyongqobanga ebhokisini, kodwa, bitch
Kwaye siyahamba: ekuqaleni wabethwa kabuhlungu wabetha kwimilenze nenqindi. Emva kokungena, izinto zahamba: ii-thermometers ezintathu, zaphuke emngxunyeni wakhe womlomo, zabetha kabini ngesinqe kwintombazana encinci, zinqabe kakhulu nge-rose kwibhotile yamehlo ephukileyo kunye nezihlathi, amanxeba asixhenxe
