Chapter 1538 The tacit understanding with the hot air balloon
After lunch on September 14, the hot air balloon also got a job as an ambulance driver in this hospital - they brought their own ambulances.
Under the afro's argument, Dalal and Hanwad became his partners, and even little Rama got on the co-pilot of the ambulance and acted as the announcer for the loudspeaker on the roof.
.
Of course, although they were given jobs, there were actually no jobs for them.
This is a refugee camp, there is no electricity, and it is impossible to have a working phone, so all they can do is drive the car outside the window of their dormitory, sit in the car and wait stupidly in case they may be needed.
Even because of the shortage of fuel and medical supplies, for this hospital, the medicines and fuel carried in the emergency vehicle can play a greater role than the emergency vehicle itself.
Because of this, while Wei Ran, with the cooperation of Edelweiss, was busy performing an appendix surgery on a child in the operating room, the sewing machine had already called on the hot air balloon to help, and put a considerable part of the medicine and fuel tank in the car.
Most of the fuel was allocated to this hospital.
"I thought you were really a veterinarian."
In the operating room, Edelweiss said to Wei Ran, who was standing opposite the operating table, "It turns out you can sew so delicately."
"It's not like outside, where there are so many people lining up waiting for help."
Wei Ran didn't know what he was thinking of. He paused and continued, "We have enough time, but this little girl's life has just begun."
"Thank you" Edelweiss suddenly smiled with relief.
"Thank me for what?" Wei Ran raised his head and looked at the other party.
Edelweiss smiled and said while trying to cooperate, "I have been struggling just now. If you are still as rude as you were outside the refugee camp, should I stop you and then perform the surgery myself?"
"You should have some confidence in me," Wei Ran said helplessly.
"But your code name is Vet"
Edelweiss smiled, and while taking over the bandaging work, she also changed the subject, "There are far fewer wounded here than outside. Compared with doctors, what is lacking here is actually supplies."
"What do you want to say?" Wei Ran asked as he took off his gloves.
"If it's not so dangerous outside, I don't think we need to continue to waste time hiding in the refugee camp."
Edelweiss spoke out her plan, "I want to save as many people as possible before I leave here."
"When do you plan to leave here?" Wei Ran asked the second question.
"My original plan was to end the humanitarian relief mission here the week before Christmas."
Edelweiss said while fixing the gauze, "After I finish working here, I may go to the medical school of the University of Vienna to continue my studies."
"A good choice." Wei Ran followed the topic and asked, "Which field?"
"Medical Hypnosis"
After completing the bandaging work, Edelweiss explained a little shyly, "I have been interested in hypnosis since I was a child. Do you know about gypsies? Gypsies who can use crystal balls to hypnotize."
"I know" Wei Ran nodded.
"When I was little, my grandfather told me that he had seen gypsies who could actually hypnotize."
Edelweiss said, "In the camp where he worked, he said that the gypsy hypnotized the guard and successfully escaped."
"Then what?" Wei Ran asked with interest.
"Then my grandfather captured him and studied hypnosis with him for a long time."
Edelweiss shrugged at this point, "Although my grandfather did not learn hypnosis, he told me many stories about hypnosis, and I started to be interested in hypnosis from that time."
As if thinking of something, Edelweiss couldn't help but smile, "I even pestered my grandfather to buy me a crystal ball. My earliest dream was to be a gypsy witch who divined, until that glass ball Almost set my grandfather's house on fire."
"Where did you put it?"
"On the couch where my grandfather used to bask in the sun."
As Edelweiss spoke, she took a step back and allowed the Palestine nurse who was working with them to push the little girl on the operating table out of the operating room.
"You will go to the University of Vienna Medical School to study medical hypnosis," Wei Ran said as he walked outside the operating room, as if making a promise.
"Are you Aladdin's magic lamp?" Edelweiss couldn't help but joked with a smile.
"Who knows?" Wei Ran muttered vaguely.
"If you are really Aladdin's magic lamp," Edelweiss murmured to herself, "I would even want to make a wish..."
"What?"
"Forget it" Edelweiss forced a smile, "It's nothing."
Without continuing this helpless topic, the two of them walked out of the operating room one after another.
That afternoon, the two of them performed several more minor operations intermittently. During the free time in between, Edelweiss went to the clinic to help, while Wei Ran wandered upstairs and downstairs alone in the hospital. One circle.
There is nothing else about this Aka Hospital. What makes Wei Ran particularly satisfied is that just opposite their dormitory is the stairwell, which leads to both the upstairs and downstairs stairwells.
Going down the stairwell is the hospital's morgue. However, due to a power outage, it has obviously been out of service for a long time.
After looking around with a flashlight, Wei Ran, who originally planned to go in and take a look, also ran towards the operating room with Edelweiss at the call of the Palestinian female nurse named Sophia.
"She's a pregnant woman"
The nurse named Sophia said loudly, "The difficult labor was brought back by your car just now."
"Go find the cradle!" Edelweiss immediately said to Wei Ran, "You can't help!"
"good!"
As Wei Ran said this, he turned around and ran downstairs. He really couldn't be of much help in delivering a baby.
Letting the cradle in the consulting room take over his duties, Wei Ran said hello to the sewing machine and reluctantly wandered into the stairwell opposite the dormitory again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking around, Wei Ran slowly lit a cigarette and took a puff, then walked into the dark basement holding a flashlight in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
Naturally, there is not only the morgue in this basement, but also other departments that have also been decommissioned. Standing at the stairs leading to the first floor, Wei Ran squatted down and put the cigarette in his hand on the edge of the steps, while also turning the beam of the flashlight.
Aiming at the smoke rising from the cigarette butt.
However, what disappointed him was that the smoke went straight up and down, almost undisturbed by the wind.
This of course does not mean that there are no ghosts in the basement with the morgue, but it does imply that the stairs he just came down may be the only entrance and exit to the basement of this building.
To put it more bluntly, if you need to hide here in the future, it will be okay if you are not discovered, but if you are discovered, it will be a desperate situation.
But at the same time, he knew that in the historical records, no matter how the little chairs tried to shirk the blame or hide it, the Falangist thugs who were instigated by them had indeed taken action against the medical workers in this hospital.
Picking up the cigarette butt and taking another sip, Wei Ran held up a flashlight and walked around room to room, looking for any suitable hiding place.
It can be seen that although this floor is out of service due to lack of power supply, the equipment inside has been properly sealed.
In contrast, the morgue is completely open, which is understandable. After all, there is nothing to steal in this place, not even corpses.
What is here, except for the rows of morgues after the power is cut off, is just a faint but hard-to-ignore smell of corpses.
Wei Ran opened a morgue and looked inside. After a moment of silence, Wei Ran turned around and walked out again.
There are people hiding here, but they cannot hide people. Once discovered, there is really no room for resistance. Now he can only count on the rented house to provide some hiding space.
Before returning to the first floor, he casually took off his white coat and put it on the handrail of the stairs. He climbed through the window at the end of the corridor and said hello to the hot air balloon sitting in the cab of the ambulance.
"Do you need me to take you there to see it?"
When the hot air balloon asked, he also handed over a cigarette and a bunch of keys, "Show the keys to the landlord, and he will let you in."
"No"
When Wei Ran took the key, he also rejected the other party's offer and cigarettes, "I can go by myself."
"Those things are under the bed in the room on the second floor facing the Kuwait Embassy," the hot air balloon said.
"Okay" Wei Ran nodded and started walking towards the outside of the hospital.
"Veterinarian, no, Dongfeng." The hot air balloon called to Wei Ran.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran turned around and asked.
"Can you lend me your camera?"
The hot air balloon pointed at Rama who was sitting in the co-pilot, "There are too few Polaroid photo boxes, and you can't buy Polaroid photo boxes here."
"no problem"
Wei Ran agreed happily, "I'll get it for you later."
"Thanks"
The hot air balloon immediately said gratefully, "I want to find my wife and daughter's friends and take some photos for them."
"I will come back as soon as possible" Weiran once again made a promise and took another step.
Leaving along the side door of the hospital, Wei Ran walked aimlessly on the dilapidated streets.
Although it was his first time here, and although he could not understand Arabic, he could tell that this crowded refugee camp had formed a complete small social circle, and it seemed that everyone who passed by knew each other.
Similarly, compared to this harmonious "neighborhood relationship", he can also see the lack of supplies here and the harsh living environment.
Walking all the way through the streets, when he passed through a narrow alley less than one meter wide and came to the opposite street, he was only less than a hundred meters away from the house rented by the hot air balloon.
Instead of knocking on the door of the house in a hurry, Wei Ran walked into the alley next door.
This alley is much wider than the one I came from just now. If nothing else, if the technology is better, at least the ambulance can barely drive in.
Walking into this alley, the two-story building they rented is on the left, separated by a courtyard wall less than two meters high. On the right is the outer wall of another building. Fortunately, there are no windows on this outer wall.
.
The better news was that although the end of the alley was tightly blocked by all kinds of debris, he found a manhole cover that was mostly covered by piles of broken bricks.
Maybe you can actually survive...
Wei Ran gently knocked on the old-looking manhole cover while muttering to himself. After hesitating for a moment, he did not rush to do anything. Instead, he got up and walked out of the alley, walked to the door of the house and gently
Knocked lightly on the courtyard door.
After a while, a man who looked to be in his thirties opened the door.
Wei Ran smiled politely at the other party, took out the set of keys given to him by the hot air balloon and shook them.
The moment he saw the bunch of keys, the initially wary man immediately became much more enthusiastic. While speaking in Arabic that Wei Ran couldn't understand, he let him in.
The yard is quite large. There is even a car with a slightly dry tire parked inside, and a swing set up on a metal frame.
At this time, a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old was pushing a little girl who was maybe one or two years younger than him on the swing.
Not far from the swing, there was a woman operating a pressurized water well and busy fetching water from a large iron basin. Another basin next to it was filled with dirty clothes from adults and children.
From these details alone, we know that this family is not a refugee - even though they live in a refugee camp.
In fact, although this is a refugee camp, there are still many "non-refugees" living here.
Most of these non-refugees are workers from neighboring countries such as Iraq, Syria or Egypt.
Although it is already the seventh year of the civil war in Fernen, seven years ago, Lebanon was known as the "Switzerland of the Middle East".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Working here is almost a dream job in many surrounding countries.
Even though the civil war has been going on intermittently for seven years, there is still money to be made here, especially working for the Near East Project. For many people at the bottom, it is still a good job that can guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods.
Of course, for these workers with low incomes, the low cost of living in refugee camps is an irresistible temptation and an inevitable choice for them.
In addition to these people at the bottom, there are naturally also people with better living conditions. Most of these people are surrounded by "settled households". In other words, they have been living here before there were refugee camps.
Later it became a refugee camp, and they started a refugee business.
In addition, there are also those who have become "sons-in-law of refugees" or "have families outside refugee camps" like hot air balloons.
Regardless of marrying out or marrying in, most of those who returned to the refugee camps were visiting relatives and friends, or, like Wei Ran and others at this time, simply lived in the refugee camps to escape the war.
There are even some humanitarians, journalists and even intelligence personnel such as Doctors Without Borders.
In short, although this place is definitely a mixed bag of three religions and nine streams, the only thing that is the same is that the vast majority of people here have the same religious beliefs.
Because of the language barrier, Wei Ran simply continued to think and let the enthusiastic man lead him along the express staircase on the side of the building to the second floor.
Instructing Wei Ran to use one of the keys to unlock the door on the second floor, the man also made gestures of eating and drinking.
Wei Ran smiled and waved his hand to reject the other party's kindness. After watching the landlord go downstairs, Wei Ran opened the wooden door and walked into the hall on the second floor.
The layout here is very Arabic, with beautiful but slightly old carpets, old but slightly messy furniture around it, and even a TV that has been gathering dust for a long time. These small details all imply that this was once a wealthy family.
s home.
After closing the wooden door behind him, Wei Ran did a rough inspection of the few rooms on this floor and successfully found the body bag hidden under one of the beds, as well as the weapons in the body bag.
Pulling most of the curtains facing the seven-story building facing the Kuwait Embassy, Wei Ran looked around, pulled a chair over and placed it two meters away from the window, and then sat cross-legged on the carpet.
He took out the SVD sniper rifle, placed the muzzle on the back of the chair, and secretly observed the tallest building outside the gap in the curtains.
After a while, he changed rooms again and observed the direction of the entrance and exit of the refugee camp, as well as another slightly abrupt five-story building to the southwest.
After a while, he changed rooms again and observed the direction of the hospital.
Fortunately, because the height was barely enough, and because the distance was close enough, even without the help of a scope, he could clearly see the hot air balloon smoking against the front of the ambulance, as well as Rama and Han chasing around the car.
Ward and Dalal.
It was only at this moment and at this distance that the three little guys inadvertently showed their unique nature as children, instead of being busy little helpers in and outside the operating room with their feet on the ground.
Satisfied, Wei Ran rewrapped the gun and stuffed it into a body bag to hide it. Wei Ran climbed up to the roof again and pretended to casually observe the surrounding terrain. Then he hurried down before the sun set and said goodbye to the couple and the couple for the time being.
Full of curious children, they walked back through the narrow alley and returned to the hospital.
"Anything gained?" The hot air balloon seemed to be waiting for him in advance and asked straight to the point.
"The ambulance can be parked in that alley." Wei Ran paused and continued, "There is a manhole cover at the end of the alley."
"Mr. Dongfeng"
The hot air balloon looked directly at Wei Ran and asked seriously, "What are you worried about? No, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm not worried about anything, and I'm not afraid of anything." Wei Ran denied, "It's just necessary vigilance."
"I heard Rama say that you are from the Seabee Camp in the United States?" the hot air balloon paused and added, "A medic?"
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"I've dealt with American soldiers"
The hot air balloon said to himself, "You are definitely not an American soldier. You don't have their strong and smelly arrogance and conceitedness. Then Vet or Mr. Dongfeng, what are you here for?"
"for what?"
Wei Ran smiled and said, "I am now Doctors Without Borders, codenamed Veterinarian. What do you think I am here for? Of course it is to carry out humanitarian relief."
"I will protect you, protect all of you." the hot air balloon said seriously.
"Mr. Dongfeng asked me to convey this"
Wei Ran shrugged seriously, "He said he would help you and help you protect everyone, everyone you want to protect."
"In this case"
A bright smile appeared on the hot air balloon's face, and he took the initiative to reach out to Wei Ran, "Thank you Mr. Dongfeng for me."
"certainly"
As Wei Ran spoke, he also stretched out his hand and shook it hard with the other party.
