On the field, the basketball semifinals were still going on. On the edge of the field, Wei Ran finally found the dentist Claure after several searches.
What he never expected was that Claure was actually sitting with the members of the cheerleading team, some distance away from him, leading some American prisoners of war to shout slogans in unison!
Right in front of them, military doctor Howard, who had a red cross cuff on his arm, was sitting on a chair. Next to the chair, there was a small table that was not too high. On the table were two medicine boxes.
, and there is a stretcher leaning on it.
But what Wei Ran never expected was that he would see the hygienist Chen Qi again on the other side of the table!
"Why is he here?"
Wei Ran subconsciously wanted to rush over. Although there was a distance between him and him, he could clearly see that Chen Qi's face was filled with a smile as warm as the sun.
Except when Drew and others scored a goal, they would wave their arms and cheer loudly together. As for Dr. Howard, who was sitting next to him, his face was extremely calm from beginning to end, as if he was not interested in the actual game.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran leaned over a little bit and took a photo of Claure who was directing the cheerleading team, and then took a photo of Howard and Chen Qi.
Without moving anywhere, Wei Ran directly found a place to sit down, glancing at the arena from time to time, and at Chen Qi from time to time.
As he waited patiently, as the last whistle sounded, the semifinals came to an end.
It is quite a pity that Drew and others finally lost by a few goals. But looking at the way they shook hands with the opposing team, hugged and blessed each other, it was obvious that winning or losing was no longer that important.
"Excuse me, can I take a group photo for you and conduct a brief interview?" Wei Ran stopped Drew and others, shook the double-lens reflex camera in his hand and asked.
"Of course!" Drew was the first to respond, then waved to Claure who was not far away, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Claul, come here quickly, someone wants to interview us!"
"Remember to give each of us a photo"
Jack added, and then stood arm-in-arm with the others. It wasn't until Crowl, who was in charge of the cheerleading team, came over that he explained, "He is also one of us, so we must take him with us."
"no problem"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already found a good angle and took a group photo with a smile on his face with the direction of the rostrum as the background.
After taking the photo, Wei Ran followed Drew and others to find a relatively quiet place to sit down. Then he took out the plastic notebook and the pen in the metal notebook from his bag. After a little preparation, he asked the first question.
A question, "Can you tell me what you think of the game just now?"
Hearing this, Drew and others looked at each other, and then Morgan replied with a smile, "Although it is a pity to lose the game, I have to say that it was a fair game. We never expected to reach the semifinals.
, so we are very satisfied with this result.”
"That's right!"
Drew was the second to say, "Although we lost the match just now, we can just go watch Blake's boxing match tomorrow."
Hearing this, the sturdy black man Wei Ran had never seen before said with a silly smile, "Not only my boxing match, but also Jack's softball match the day after tomorrow. He is the best pitcher I have ever seen. I guess they can definitely break into it."
For the final.”
"The relationship between you seems to be very good," Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"Of course, we all came from the same dormitory in the same prison camp."
Brendon said proudly, "This is not the United States. Blacks and whites are equal, so it's not surprising. Even if we return to the United States in the future, our friendship will not be affected in any way."
"Are you all captured in the same group?" Wei Ran continued to ask, patiently guiding the topic step by step, "Of course, it would be better if you could briefly talk about your experiences before being captured."
"of course not"
Drew smiled and said, "Among us, I was the first to be captured, followed by Claure, who used to be a dentist."
"The three of us were sent to the prison camp at the same time."
Morgan put one hand on Jack's shoulder and the other on Brendan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Like Drew, I used to be a soldier in the transportation company, either driving a truck or escorting a truck.
This nigger used to be an engineer. Of course, this name does not mean any discrimination here, it is just because the relationship between us is really good."
"What he said is true." Jack lightly punched Morgan's belly, "just like I often call him California White Pig."
"Can't you two introduce me too?"
While speaking, Brendan took the cigarettes and matches from Crowler, lit them and said in a puff of smoke, "I used to be the commander of the colored company, but now I, Morgan and Black
We are already best friends."
"I was the last to be captured"
The black prisoner of war, whom Wei Ran didn't recognize, took the cigarette from Brendan's hand, lit one and introduced himself, "Actually, I was captured three months before this games.
Before being sent to the prison camp, I never thought that after being captured, I would not only become friends with white people, but also have the opportunity to become an athlete. If I had known this, I would have surrendered long ago."
"To be honest, if it weren't for your interview, I would have forgotten that I was a prisoner of war." Morgan's emotion immediately won the approval of others around him.
"It's me in the end"
While Krall was speaking, the cigarettes and matches in Blake's hand were naturally passed to Drew's hand, but after the latter took it, he popped one out and gave it to Wei Ran, and even lit it for him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, Claure also said arrogantly, "Originally, I was supposed to be on the field to participate in the game. But there was only one left left in the game.
A month ago, I accidentally stepped on a nail.
Fortunately, Blake was sent here at that time, and Drew and I almost snatched him from the prison guard. If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have gotten such good results."
"It seems that you all have experienced a lot of changes in the prisoner of war camp." Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, he was also secretly thinking in his heart that the original "Black Tea Operation" was very important in order to get these scum to stick together.
inducement.
"certainly"
Jack spread his hands and said, "Before I was sent to the prisoner of war camp, I could only spell my own name. Since living with these bastards, they have taught me many words. I can even write one to my father now."
I wrote a letter. But he is also illiterate, so I am not sure whether he can understand the letter I wrote."
"I will take a photo of you alone later," Wei Ran said with a smile, "I guess he can always recognize you through the photo."
"Take a photo of me too!" Morgan rushed to say, "My parents definitely want to see my photo too, and they definitely don't believe that I have two black friends."
"I remember your parents are from the South?" Brendon joked with a smile, "This is too dangerous. I'm worried about whether Jack and Black will be kidnapped by your parents when they visit your house in the future.
Go pick cotton."
"I will definitely convince them," Morgan assured confidently, "or go pick cotton with Jack and Black."
"You are really my good brother." Jack rolled his eyes and was not angry at all for the other party's joke. Even the black man named Black had the same happy smile on his face.
"It's my turn. As I just said, I used to be the commander of the colored company of the Seabee Battalion. Although I often led black people to perform construction and transportation tasks, I never became friends with them."
Having said this, Brendon patted his belly, "The experience during this period not only made me friends with them, but also my weight increased by a full 20 pounds, which I had not reached even before joining the army.
Such a weight. Mr. Reporter, you don’t actually need to ask these questions. You are also a prisoner of war, right? You must have the same answer as us, right?"
“Brendan is right”
Drew patted his belly in distress, "Clauer and I are already controlling our diet and losing weight. If we continue like this, I will become a fat British man."
"I'm almost the same as Morgan and the others"
Claure paused for a moment before speaking, and then added in a puffed voice, "In addition, I also became friends with the Chinese people, and I even learned a lot of Chinese dishes and some simple Chinese. etc.
After the war is over, I plan to go back and open a Chinese restaurant."
Black Jack and Black looked at each other and joked, "To us, the white people in this prisoner of war camp are very friendly and lovely. If possible, I even hope that the Chinese can be more diligent and send all the white Americans
The soldiers will be captured and kept here for a while, so that at least when the war is over, our lives will be a little easier."
"This kind of thing can only trouble the Chinese people." Wei Ran smiled, changed the subject and asked, "Gentlemen, do you have any wishes now?"
"desire?"
Drew and others looked at each other, and it was Morgan who was still the first to speak, "If we have any wishes, we just hope that Blake and Jack can get good results in the competition tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"I thought your wish was to go home early," Wei Ran couldn't help but say.
"Go home? Of course, our wish is to go home as soon as possible."
Brendon said of course, "But we all believe that we will definitely go back, right? You don't need to trouble God for this kind of thing, but their game really needs God's blessing."
"Is the opponent very strong?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"I'm too thin"
Black spread his hands, "My opponent is participating in a lightweight competition that is almost under the weight limit. This is a challenge for me, but I am confident that I can agree to the first match."
"I have nothing to worry about."
Jack grinned his thick lips and said confidently, "I can throw the ball very accurately, so it doesn't matter even if God doesn't bless me, but my teammates may need God's help."
"I wish you both good results"
Wei Ran picked up the camera hanging around his neck again and said, "Let me take a photo of each of you. You can send it home then."
"Let me go first!" Morgan said first, "How about we go shoot under the Peace Road?"
"Of course, no problem," Wei Ran agreed happily, and followed the others chatting all the way to the archway with the Three Kingdoms characters written on it.
It was during this not-so-long journey that Wei Ran also learned the full names of everyone, and then judged from Morgan's last name "Garcia" that the person who gave him the cap badge was his future son.
.
But what puzzled Wei Ran was that until this moment, he still hadn't seen the cap badge appear.
In turn, he took a solo photo of each of Drew and others. With the help of Claure, Wei Ran successfully found the hygienist Chen Qi and Dr. Howard who were preparing to go to dinner together.
