Early the next morning, everyone who had eaten breakfast put on new clothes that they had never worn before, under the command of the young couple Host and Heike.
These clothes are all proper civilian attire, including gray plaid jackets, black overalls, brown felt hats, and sweaters of various colors and patterns.
Even though Wei Ran, Timov and Buck lying on the bed were not assigned these civilian clothes, they each received a pair of extra thick gray wool gloves with a white elk pattern.
What surprised Wei Ran and others was that, according to the children's explanations, except for the sweaters and socks, which were finished clothes obtained by Uncle Letts through various channels, the other coats turned out to be from Sophie, Qiqi and Heike.
These three hard-working girls used the only sewing machine they had to design and sew for everyone before winter.
Even those woolen gloves were knitted by the other little girls every afternoon.
There is no doubt that whether it is the fabric used to make clothes or the wool used to knit gloves, they all come from the hard-working and bald quartermaster.
Waiting patiently for everyone to put on new clothes, under the command of Sophie and Qiqi, everyone, including Timov and Buck, who was helped over, sat or stood on the side of the long table in the basement
They lined up in two rows, and then adjusted the positions of the two lit kerosene gas lamps.
"Look at my camera, look at the camera, okay, close your eyes now."
Wei Ran, who was holding the camera against the wall, slowly adjusted the focus, trying to capture everyone and everything in the basement. At the same time, he kept saying, "When I count to three,
, everyone opens their eyes together, and then counts down from three to one. Everyone is ready-"
Buck, who deliberately made a long note and waited for Timov to hold Dominic's shoulders to stand still, finished translating, and then Wei Ran began to count.
"1"
"2"
"3!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes towards the camera and started counting down.
Seizing the right opportunity, Wei Ran pressed the shutter when everyone counted down to 2, leaving these young faces on the film forever.
"Next is Sophie and Qiqi."
Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand, "Where are you going to take pictures?"
"Let's go to the water gate!"
The two sisters said in unison, and then ordered in unison, "Horst, Nadia, keep an eye on everyone and put on the labor corps clothes, and remember to wrap the trouser legs with leggings."
"I know," Host responded immediately, "Qiqi, how about leaving a negative for me and Heike later?"
"No problem!" Qiqi replied simply, "When you're done, go find Brother Victor."
"It'll be fine soon!" Host thought for a moment and said, "Heike, wait for me at the stone bridge!"
"Okay!" The girl named Heike nodded immediately.
"Sister Qiqi..."
"No!" Before Dominic could finish his words, Sophie and Qiqi rejected his request in unison.
"Let's go!" Qiqi said, pulling Sophie with one hand and Heike, who was covering his mouth and laughing with the other hand.
Following the three girls to the water gate, Wei Ran had just made preparations, and the three of them were already sitting side by side on the concrete platform next to the water gate switch.
"Just this angle?" Wei Ran asked. "Just this angle."
Sophie said with a smile, "Before anyone else came here, what the three of us loved most was sitting here, smoking together, drinking together, waiting for the war to end together, and dreaming together that we would use the radio station to save more friends.
.”
"Although our wish was not fulfilled, this place did leave us with a lot of memories." The girl named Heike said while holding Sophie's arm, "So let's stay here."
"Stand up your waist"
Wei Ran took a few steps back, moved slightly to the side and continued, "Lift your forehead, okay, this is the posture.
Now imagine how stupid Dominic looked when he confessed his love to Nadia."
Just when the three girls couldn't help but smile, Wei Ran also recorded them, the morning sun hitting their cheeks, and the treetops in the distance all on the film.
"It's my turn to shoot with you!" Qiqi had already jumped down from the concrete platform before she finished speaking.
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Sophie, who jumped down a little later, had already snatched the camera from his hand.
Just when Wei Ran was about to ask where and how to take the photo, Qi Qi had the courage to throw herself into his arms, and tried her best to stand on tiptoes and kiss the former.
Just as their lips touched, Sophie pressed the shutter towards them against the sunlight. "Thank you, Mr. Magician."
Before the red-faced Qi Qi finished speaking, she had already let go of her hands and ran in the direction of the ruins, leaving only Wei Ran, who was smacking his lips subconsciously, and Sophie and Heike, who were looking at each other with aunty smiles on their faces.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back and get ready." After Sophie said that, she put the camera into Wei Ran's arms, lit a cigarette, put her hands in her pockets, and walked towards the ruins of the castle in the distance.
"Just take a picture of Hoster and me from behind later."
After Heike finished speaking, he took a few steps to catch up with Sophie. After the two of them walked hand in hand to the stone bridge, Heike also chose a position and sat on the moss-covered stone guardrail on one side of the stone bridge with his back to Wei Ran.
superior.
After a while, Host, who had finished his work, walked out from the entrance and exit of the basement, waved to Wei Ran from a distance, then walked to Heike's side, sat down side by side, put his arms around the girl next to him, and also turned his back
Left to Wei Ran.
Sighing secretly, Wei Ran took a few steps forward, framed the backs of the young couple as well as part of the castle ruins and part of the moat covered with reeds not far away, and then gently pressed the shutter.
At this point, there was only the last film left in the camera. As expected, Dominic pulled his little girlfriend Nadia in front of him while Wei Ran put down the camera.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Victor, take a picture for us too." Dominic said with a flattering look on his face.
"For the sake of 2.7 million US dollars," Wei Ran muttered unclearly.
"What did you just say?" Dominic looked at Wei Ran in confusion.
"Nothing." Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand, "Where do you plan to take the photo?"
"Just right here!"
Dominic, who was standing at the end of the bridge, had already put the girl next to him in his arms before he finished speaking.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wei Ran had no choice but to take a few steps back and find a good angle so that the two men and women kissing passionately could block Host and Heike in the distance, and at the same time take a picture of the ruins of the castle shrouded in the rising sun.
After using up the last film in the camera, Wei Ranquan pretended that he could not see the pair of desperate couple, and walked towards Sophie's room with the camera in hand.
"You came just in time." When Sophie saw Wei Ran come in, she immediately locked the door and asked him to put down the camera, and helped her move the wooden bed and box away.
Lifting the floor and getting into the stairwell where medical supplies were stored, Wei Ran saw Sophie pointing a flashlight at a wooden cabinet against the wall and immediately moved it carefully, revealing a small space hidden behind the stone stairs.
When the flashlight beam illuminated this small space, Wei Ran was stunned. There were a lot of things placed in this small space that could almost be regarded as Harry Potter's exclusive bedroom.
The most eye-catching thing here is a 200-liter oil drum placed against the wall, and two gg400 fuel generators stacked on a wooden shelf next to the oil drums.
In addition, this small space is filled with various weapons and ammunition, the most common of which are the lightweight and easy-to-use MP40 submachine gun, the apparently seized American 1911 pistol, and the only stg44 assault rifle
.
Just as Wei Ran saw in his memories from later generations, this assault rifle was an example of poor craftsmanship, with even burrs remaining on the wooden stock.
Of course, in addition to these weapons and several boxes of ammunition and packaged dry batteries,
In addition to the pool and some explosives, there are also various weapons that Weiran had previously seized from the two American soldiers, as well as stacked helmets with the Labor Corps logo spray-painted on them, and even two large boxes with the Labor Corps logo.
The ultimate equipment - engineer shovel.
"Do you think these weapons are enough?" Sophie asked in a low voice.
"It should be enough." Wei Ran nodded, "After all, we are fleeing, not fighting, and these weapons are only for self-defense."
Having said this, Wei Ran picked up a submachine gun and looked at it, "Sophie, have you thought about what to do after escaping to Belgium? Follow the arrangements of those two Americans?"
"No"
Sophie shook her head without thinking, "Mr. Timov just provided a reason why we must leave here as soon as possible. We do want to flee to Belgium, but we will not follow his arrangements."
"Do you have a purpose?" Wei Ran lowered his voice and asked.
Sophie looked at Wei Ran seriously, hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Don't worry, as long as we can reach Belgium, someone will definitely help us."
"Sophie, I hope you can..." Wei Ran considered the words. Now that he was about to escape, he discovered that this 19-year-old girl still seemed to have many secrets.
Especially when it comes to the arrangements for the more than 20 people who fled to Belgium, if he simply trusted Timov and allowed the other party to arrange it, the risk would be too great. Because of this, he must know that Sophie has
There are no other arrangements.
"Someone will help us"
Sophie emphasized again, "Someone will arrange food and drink for all of us, including Mr. Timov and Mr. Buck. We will all receive warm shelter and proper care."
"Can I know who it is?" Wei Ran pointed in the direction of the next door, "This is related to whether I need to guard against those two Americans on the way."
After half a minute of silence, Sophie whispered a name that surprised Wei Ran, "Comet Line".
"What did you say?" Wei Ran looked at the girl next to him in shock.
