Chapter 1524 The veterinarian who is off duty is called Dongfeng
In the small space at the end of the garage, Edelweiss was busy writing, while Wei Ran held the other party's prisoner of war watch and guarded the large, noisy oil stove.
For a moment, the only two young men left in the garage were the two young men who had finished taking a shower, chatting in Arabic that they did not understand.
"How about those children?" Wei Ran changed the topic while turning down the heat of the oil stove.
"What do you want to know?" Edelweiss asked in German without raising her head.
"whatever"
Wei Ran pretended to be casual and said, "For example, where are they from and what do their parents do."
"Except for Dalal, all three of them are Palestinians, but they are all war orphans, war orphans who have no living relatives."
Edelweiss glanced at the two young men who were whispering not far away, lowered her head and continued writing, "I met my little translator Lama on the first day I came to Filinen. She was with her because of an explosion.
Her brother Ed was separated, and she was buried in the collapsed ruins."
When she said this, Edelweiss's face couldn't help but reveal the glory of motherhood, and she said with a proud and distressed tone, "I got into the ruins and rescued her. At that time, her whole body was covered with dust, but after I
When I picked her up, she actually called me mommy."
Edelweiss stopped writing and said in a gentle but firm tone, "At that moment I decided that even if I was asked to kill God, I would protect that poor little one."
"And you helped her find her brother Ed?"
"not at all"
Edelweiss shook her head, "It was already more than half a month after the brother and sister found Ed.
Ed thought his sister Rama was dead, so he joined the 8 solutions and prepared to avenge their parents and his sister Rama. Then he was injured and was sent to the operating table where I was responsible.
At that time, little Rama was already helping me translate in the operating room, but she was sitting behind the curtain at that time."
There was a trace of helplessness in Edelweiss's tone, "I was worried that she would run around, so I had to put her in the operating room, and I was worried about scaring her, so I had to let her hide behind the curtain."
"I thought you were just an emergency nurse," Wei Ran said in hindsight.
"I am also a general practitioner"
Edelweiss explained nonchalantly, "But I have too little experience and my speed is not fast enough. So after you joined us, I started to be your partner.
Before you came, I was mainly responsible for bandaging the injured child, and occasionally helping with the cradle for delivery."
"You will be an excellent doctor in the future."
After Wei Ran sent his blessings, he brought the topic back, "What happened next? Ed recognized his sister?"
"He heard it as soon as Rama spoke."
Edelweiss tapped her head lightly with the ballpoint pen in her hand, "At that time, a bullet opened a wound of nearly five centimeters on Ed's head. He suddenly turned around and startled me. I was about to debridement him.
At that time, you happened to be called over by the sewing machine next door to help treat a seriously injured person."
"And you kept Ed?"
"It's Rama, she left her brother behind."
Edelweiss spread her hands, "I was worried about her running around, so I asked her to stay in the operating room on the pretext that she needed help. She thought I really needed help, so she asked her brother to stay and help."
"Speaking of this, it seems that only Rama can speak French?" Wei Ran asked.
"Ed also knows some, but they are just some greeting words."
Edelweiss explained as if talking about her own children, "Their parents originally planned to immigrate to France, so after Rama was born, they hired a French teacher for her and Ed.
Unfortunately, before the family was ready to immigrate, the civil war began. After their parents died in the civil war, it was Rama's French teacher who adopted them. Later, their French teacher also died, and they became
An orphan in the true sense of the word.”
After a brief silence, Wei Ran continued to ask, "Where are Hanward and Dalal?"
“Almost the same”
Edelweiss replied, "After Ed decided to stay and help, he called his good friend Hanward to come over to help. They were originally classmates in the same class. These two young gentlemen helped us a lot.
"
Without Wei Ran asking, Edelweiss continued, "Dalal's father died on the operating table where the sewing machine was in charge. When we were preparing to come back to rest after finishing work that day, we found her sitting on the steps crying alone. Rama
After asking her for us, we brought her here. It's strange that you didn't happen to be there that day."
After speaking, Edelweiss showed a warm and healing smile, "Anyway, they did help us a lot."
"How about you ask me another question?" Wei Ran said with a smile.
"Of course," Edelweiss agreed happily.
"Are we the only MSFs in this hospital?"
Wei Ran gently patted the rear bumper of the ambulance behind him, "There is also this car, do we only have this much manpower?"
"We are the only ones in this hospital"
Edelweiss nodded, "There are other colleagues in other hospitals, but we are the only ones here."
Before he finished speaking, two little girls, Rama and Dalal, also came back with wet hair, each wearing a nightgown that seemed to be modified from a surgical gown.
After washing away the dust on their bodies and the deliberately smeared ink stains on their faces, and changing into their blood-stained clothes, the two little girls finally looked more like children.
Almost immediately, Hanward and Ed stood up, each picked up a dry towel, invited the two little girls to sit beside the oil stove that released heat, and carefully helped them wipe their hair that exuded the fragrance of shampoo.
hair.
"You go take a shower first"
Wei Ran and Edelweiss said in German in unison, and then smiled in unison.
"You go ahead." Wei Ran shook the prisoner of war watch lent to him, "I still have work."
"Oh well!"
Edelweiss put away the unfinished notes, walked into the tent with high heels, took some toiletries and walked towards the small door.
Watching the other party close the door from the outside, Wei Ran glanced at the time on his watch, then stood up and walked towards the medical tent with men's leather shoes hanging on it.
The conditions inside this tent were much better than I imagined. There was a not very clean carpet under the feet, and several curtains divided the tent into two rooms, inside and outside.
Gently opening a curtain, there were two hospital beds together. On a simple small table at the head of the bed, there was a photo of a sewing machine, a cradle, and their child. In the background, there was a picture that Wei Ran had seen in the photo.
That barbecue restaurant I passed.
That was Yashar when he was a kid...
How did he become so fat later? Wei Ran muttered secretly, took two steps inside, and opened the partition curtain inside.
There are three single beds in this partition, which are only half a meter apart. There is a tattered suitcase next to the bedside of the innermost single bed, with my name written in Chinese characters on it.
, thinking about it, that should be my bed.
Wei Ran quickly walked over and opened the suitcase. Wei Ran was inevitably a little disappointed. The suitcase only contained a set of West German-style Swamp Type 2 camouflage uniforms and a pair of jeans, as well as a few changes of underwear and a tattered canvas bag.
.
What can barely be considered a surprise is that in addition to a pair of West German 77-style military boots in this canvas bag, there is also an additional pair of lightweight German training shoes stuffed in the boots. Of course, there is also the two hundred US dollars in cash found inside the boots.
.
Picking up the pair of jeans, I shook them open and looked at them. Fortunately, they were not the bell-bottoms that are popular in this era.
Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, threw the pants on the bed, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Almost immediately after taking a shower, the sewing machine and cradle also opened the door and returned to the garage.
"Leave the disinfection work to us, how long will it take?" Cradle said first.
She also washed away the stains on her face and looked much more energetic.
He took out the prisoner of war watch from his pocket and took a look at it. Wei Ran handed it directly to the other party, "It will take about 20 minutes."
"I have a watch," the sewing machine urged with a smile, "go take a shower quickly."
Hearing this, Wei Ran put his watch back into his pocket, turned around and walked back to the tent, picked up the swamp camouflage set, and randomly picked up a few pieces of underwear and toiletries found under the bed, carrying them in a basin towards the garage.
The small door at the end - he had long been curious about what he would find here.
Pushing open the door and passing through a thick curtain, Wei Ran found out through the moonlight above that this place was more like a small courtyard that was not too big.
There are three rooms in a row against the wall on the left. There are several 200-liter oil drums on the roof. They are probably simple solar water heaters that provide hot water for bathing. At this time, these three rooms are all lit by weak candlelight.
, inside one of them, you can still vaguely see a vague figure, and you can even hear the sound of rushing water coming from inside.
This is not a big, in fact, extremely small courtyard with a row of three houses on the right side.
In the middle of the two rooms, there are several ropes on which a lot of clothes are hanging to dry.
After walking through these clothes and taking a look at the unlit right hand side, Wei Ran turned around and left in disappointment. This row of rooms without windows was filled with various car repair tools and tires, etc.
Component.
He even found a rusty engine next to a faucet in the corner that was still working.
Come to think of it, this garage or the small yard hidden behind the garage might have been a place where the hospital's ambulance drivers were on call and rested.
Without thinking any more about this aspect, Wei Ran walked towards the row of rooms with lights on.
Except for the shower room at the end where Edelweiss is using, one of the remaining two rooms is a bathroom, and the other has a washing machine, but there is a shower hanging from a wire above the head. Even the ground is wet and the air is wet.
It also smelled of soap.
Because of the power outage, the washing machine here can no longer be used, and even the lighting is using candle lights.
I just don’t know who is responsible for doing the laundry?
In my wild thoughts, I took off my clothes and groped for the shower water valve switch, turned it on, and let the slightly scalding water pour down my head.
It only took less than 5 minutes to take a quick shower. After drying his body very carefully, Wei Ran put on the camouflage uniform he found in the suitcase, and then found cigarettes from the dirty clothes.
Matches, and Edelweiss's prisoner of war watch.
Almost at the same time he walked out of this simple shower room, Edelweiss next door walked out with a candle lamp in one hand and a basin of dirty clothes in the other.
After washing away the stains on her face, Edelweiss looked much more beautiful. Her delicate and white face against the dim candlelight made Wei Ran subconsciously think of the German film The Match Seller.
The little match in the girl.
The girl who had just taken a shower in front of her had almost the same protective temperament as the protagonist in that movie, and even her appearance was more beautiful and refined.
But the reality is often so messed up and contradictory. Such a beautiful face and even such a temperament are really not an advantage in an environment like this at this moment. On the contrary, it may bring her a huge danger more desperate than death at any time.
She must know this, otherwise why would she have smeared black stains on her face - but she came anyway
It doesn't matter whether you are stupid or holy.
If given the choice, Wei Ran thought that if it were him, he would never take the initiative to come to this place and do such a "stupid thing" with a sense of justice.
But he completely forgot that the historical fragments he entered again and again were actually the same as the choices of the girl in front of him.
"What are you posting..."
"your watch"
Before the girl in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself, was about to make fun of her, Wei Ran shook the prisoner of war watch in his hand and said, "I was thinking about how to return it to you more appropriately."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hold it for me first, and take the candle lights in other rooms." As Edelweiss spoke, she had already stepped towards the garage.
Seeing this, Wei Ran put his watch back into his pocket, took the two candle lights from the bathroom and toilet, and followed Edelweiss to the garage.
Following each other's example, they put the dirty clothes and candle lights on the table on the side of the small door. When the two returned to the garage, the others were already sitting around the dining table waiting for them.
Before they could sit down, the three helpers, except for the little translator Rama, had already begun to distribute the meals to everyone.
"Veterinarian, what are your plans later?"
The sewing machine tore off a piece of flatbread and dipped it in the mutton stewed carrot soup, then stuffed it into his mouth and asked vaguely while chewing.
"Where on earth are we going to get fuel?" Cradle also asked.
"Also, how much oil can we get?" Edelweiss, who was sitting next to Wei Ran, also asked, "We need a lot of oil."
"I guess one or two hundred liters isn't a problem."
Wei Ran explained while returning the watch to Edelweiss, "At dusk, I found a Falangist armored vehicle, and I stole the two barrels of oil from that vehicle."
"What did you say?"
The sewing machine's eyes widened and he lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy? Those lunatics have always treated us..."
"They don't know I did it."
Wei Ran took a bite of the slightly dry flatbread and said with the same vagueness, "That's an early gasoline engine M113 armored vehicle produced in the United States. I guess it was a discarded product sold by the United States to the chair, and was later used by the chair.
The meat and bones that were thrown to the Falangists after the Sepia was eliminated."
"What are you going to say?" Cradle looked at Wei Ran confused.
"The fuel tank capacity of that armored vehicle exceeds 300 liters, and it is rare gasoline that can also be used by our emergency vehicles."
Wei Ran said truthfully, "I stole two barrels of oil in the evening. If we get there later, if we are not discovered, no, if the car is still there, we can drain its fuel tank."
"But..."
"We urgently need fuel"
The sewing machine took the floor from his wife, "It's hard for us to find so much oil at one time. Just like the veterinarian said, it's oil that our emergency vehicle can also use. This is very important."
"Okay... okay." Cradle gritted his teeth, then looked at Edelweiss who was eating happily, "Don't you want to say something?"
"nothing to say"
Edelweiss is far more free and easy than the couple, "We need fuel. Instead of burning it in their armored vehicles and using it to kill people, it's better for us to use it to save people."
After saying that, Edelweiss poked another piece of carrot and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing it, she asked, "What should we do next?"
"Kids stay," Wei Ran said subconsciously.
"Sir, there are no children here."
The one who spoke was 11-year-old Rama, who had been busy translating for his friends.
Seeing Wei Ran looking at him, Rama said, "Sir, there are only doctors, nurses, trainee nurses and soldiers here, as well as trainee soldiers. Including me, we can all play a role, please stop treating us like children.
.”
Seeing the astonishment on Wei Ran's face, Edelweiss sighed, put down her knife and fork and said, "Let them participate."
Seeing that the sewing machine and the cradle were silent, Wei Ran already knew that this kind of thing might have happened more than once, and this kind of persistence was not the first time for these children.
"You will definitely drive away the invaders."
Wei Ran said to the 11-year-old Rama in a very formal manner, "It may take ten, twenty, fifty years, but you will definitely drive away the invaders."
"We also believe that we will definitely do it." Rama showed a bright smile, with a little soup hanging from the corners of her mouth - just like edelweiss.
"Since our little helper is also participating, we have to be more cautious." The sewing machine reminded tactfully.
Wei Ran nodded and asked while eating, "How many oil drums do we have?"
"13" Rama immediately answered, "Including the two you brought back today, there are 13 oil barrels in total."
"Bring them all with you later"
Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "We also need to wrap the oil drums with cloth to make them quieter."
"Leave these to me" Cradle accepted the job.
"If only that armored vehicle was still there"
Wei Ran looked at everyone and said, "I need two helpers to approach the armored vehicle with me. I need them to transport the filled oil drums back. I also need someone to organize the children to watch around."
"Let's do it"
The sewing machine said, "The cradle and I will be your helpers, and Edelweiss will take the children as sentries."
Hearing this, Wei Ran hurriedly continued before Edelweiss was about to say anything, "As soon as we have collected all the oil barrels, we will transport them back. It may take two trips, or even three trips. It doesn't matter. The key is not to make any noise."
.”
"What should we do if we encounter Falangists?" Edelweiss asked.
"Leave it to me to solve it," Wei Ran replied subconsciously.
"Are you going to kill them?" Cradle asked, "Veterinarians, we are Médecins Sans Frontières..."
"it's getting dark"
Wei Ran pointed to the top of his head and spread his hands like a rogue, "I'm already off work. Even Doctors Without Borders can't work 24 hours a day, right?"
Compared to the sewing machine and the cradle, who were looking at each other, Edelweiss was the first to laugh and asked seriously in French, "So, this gentleman who has finished get off work, what is your status now?"
Hearing this, Wei Ran thought for a moment, cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Now I am an internationalist fighter. My code name...my code name is Dongfeng."
"Are we in Spain?"
Sewing Machine said in a joking tone, "I was wondering if I should also come up with a code name to use after I get off work from MSF."
With this topic, everyone finished the dinner which was not very rich but definitely full and very hungry. The oil stove not far away finally completed the cooking and sterilization of the surgical instruments.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After turning off the oil stove, the cradle and Edelweiss worked together to store the sterilized surgical instruments, while the two little girls Rama and Dalal each held a handful of shoes.
Using a brush, he carefully brushed off the accumulated carbon black on the stove and collected it first on a piece of newspaper and then on a glass plate.
When Weiran put the stove and cooking tray back into the bag and fixed them on the roof of the car, Cradle also took out a bottle of something similar to skin care products from the tent, squeezed a bunch of it onto the plate, and used a
Stir carefully with a tongue depressor.
Immediately afterwards, four women, two large and two small, each dipped their fingers in the plate and smeared the black muddy "skin care products" on their faces and even their necks.
"Let's put some on it too"
As Wei Ran spoke, he also stretched out his hand to get some, and kept explaining, "It's used as a disguise."
Hearing this, the sewing machine and the two young men also reached out to dip their hands in the plate, and also randomly wiped black stains on their faces.
After first making disguises for themselves, Cradle and Edelweiss took the children to the back yard to find some rags and wrapped them around the oil drums.
Everything was ready. Wei Ran, who was empty-handed, slung three coiled oil pipes over his shoulders. With his companions, almost each carrying two empty oil barrels behind him, he quietly left the garage and locked it again, leaning against the building.
The shadow followed the memory and touched the armored vehicle.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening and almost midnight, and the street was plunged into darkness and silence. Only the faint starlight and the subtle movements of various animals wandering in the corners filled with the smell of corpses were left.
.
Because the people behind him were either Jin Gui's medical staff or children who had not yet grown up, Wei Ran was also more cautious than ever before, and naturally the speed could not be increased.
Around midnight, Wei Ran and everyone carefully hid in the shadows of the ruins he had stepped on in the evening.
"Just wait here"
Wei Ran whispered, "Don't follow me yet, let alone make any noise. I'll come and pick you up later when I'm sure there's no danger."
"Beast... no, Dongfeng, you have to be careful." The sewing machine whispered.
Gently patting the other party's shoulder, Wei Ran took off the oil extraction pipe hanging diagonally on his shoulder and handed it to the sewing machine's hand. Then he bent his waist and carefully walked against the wall to the man who was guarding the street corner more than 20 meters away.
