In the early morning of April 28, nine Jewish children, with the help of six Jewish women, washed their bodies in the tent, carefully applied eczema treatment ointment to all parts of their bodies, and then each put on a A clean hospital gown, before dawn, under the cover of the thick morning fog and the approaching gun smoke, he got into the basement of the ruined clinic.
In another ruins more than 20 meters away from the tent, Father Hans skillfully lit a bonfire, slowly heated the sterilizer, and dutifully cooked various medical supplies inside. instrument.
On another bonfire in the next room, two large pots transformed from diesel barrels have been boiled with clean water that Weiyan and Marco brought back from the river not long ago. Come and drink, and most of the rest will be used to steam and sterilize the cleaned gauze for secondary use.
In the tent set up at the end of the alley, the sleeping Mario and the little Jewish girl Maura were put on the bed again. After Dr. Lodge covered each of them with a blanket, he motioned for Wei Ran to follow him and leave the tent.
"It's time to collect the nets." Dr. Lodge yawned, bent down and picked up the fishing net dug out of the ruins, and asked Wei Ran to follow him towards the river.
"Doctor Rocky, let me go. You haven't had any rest all night." Wei Ran said as he took the fishing net from the other party's hand.
"It doesn't matter"
Doctor Lodge waved his hands indifferently and said while walking in front, "We need to stock up on more food before the Soviets come over. That's it. After we get the net back, we need to find a place to hide the food and drink that Aunt Marco sent us as soon as possible. We can't really expect that the Soviets will forgive us because of the red cross. ."
"Whoever is in the first year of junior high school will be in the fifteenth year of junior high school."
Wei Ran muttered to himself and followed Dr. Lodge silently through the artificial pile. Ruins, carefully came to the river, dropped the fishing net, and then picked up the net thrown away yesterday.
"Did we catch a big fish? Why is this net so heavy?" Wei Ran asked as he pulled the rope hard.
"Where can there be any big fish?" Doctor Rocky frowned, turned around and dragged the rope forward hard.
In the sound of rushing water, the two of them pulled the fishing net ashore, and then they noticed that in addition to a few freshwater fish, there was also a corpse wrapped in the net!
"Go behind that wall"
Doctor Rocky whispered, and Wei Ran reasonably dragged the heavy fishing net and hid behind the broken wall on the opposite side of the road. Under the dim light, the fishing net was untied bit by bit.
"It's a Soviet"
Wei Ran pulled out a Bobosha submachine gun from the fishing net and threw it aside. With the help of Dr. Lodge, he shot the body in the chest. The body was extricated.
Carefully taking off a grenade from the fishing net, Dr. Lodge stuffed the net wrapped with small fish into his bag and walked back.Bian said worriedly, "The situation is not good. It seems that the Soviets have already reached the other side of the river. We have to hide things as soon as possible."
"I'll go to the cinema to call those people later. A soldier came to help." Wei Ran followed.
"No, you can't use them."
Dr. Lodge shook his head without thinking, and said while pulling out his Luger pistol from his waist, "Let the women Come up, let's move those supplies to the basement. Victor, run back now and tell everyone to move things quickly. I'll be here to guard. If anyone comes, I will shoot."
< p>"Then be careful."Wei Ran let go of the canvas bag containing the fishing nets and returned to the open space at the end of the alley as quickly as possible, calling for Hans and others to move the supplies quickly.
With the help of everyone, boxes of food and medicine were delivered to the basement in the ruins of the clinic, covering the not-so-large basement floor.
"Bang!"
A clear gunshot came from the direction of the alley entrance, and everyone's hearts trembled. Wei Ran quickly put down the box in his hand, picked it up and put it not far away. The submachine gun at the office ran in the direction of Dr. Lodge, and Hans and others quickly organized the women who came out to help to hide back in the basement.
"Dr. Rocky, what's wrong?" Wei Ran asked, hiding behind a partially broken wall.
"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding." Dr. Lodge responded in a loud voice, "They were the wounded sent by the soldiers guarding the bridge. I thought it was the Soviets coming over."
< p> "Tell them not to shoot, I'm coming out." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he slowly raised the submachine gun in his hand and looked in the direction of the tent behind him until he saw the flashlight of the flashlight in the thick fog. Only then did he stand up completely."How many wounded?" Wei Ran asked pretending to be nervous.
"One, just one." A strange voice shouted, and then led by Dr. Lodge, he walked out of the thick fog.
Glancing at the soldier being carried over by two other German soldiers on a stretcher, Wei Ran frowned slightly. Just by looking at the ugly and heavy metal sign hanging around his neck, he knew that this was a bad move. People love chain dogs.
Unfortunately, the chain dog's wound was not serious, he was just hit in the thigh by a bullet. Not only was his life in danger when he was carried all the way there, even his screams were very painful.
"Dr. Victor, you go ahead and continue sterilizing the instruments, and I'll do the surgery." There was even a trace of indifference in Dr. Lodge's calm tone.
"Okay..."
Wei Ran suppressed the weirdness in his heart. After watching the two soldiers send the wounded into the tent, he approached the one who continued to disinfect the medical equipment. Father Hans.
"What did you say? Send me a chained dog?" Father Hans frowned at first, and then a strange look appeared on his old face.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran took the medical equipment handed over by the other party., asked puzzledly.
"Nothing." Father Hans waved his hand, "Go and deliver it to him."
Going into the tent with doubts, the chain dog has been drugged with morphine . Dr. Lodge was slowly cutting open the clothes near the wound.
"Help me light the gas lamp and go out," Dr. Lodge said without raising his head.
Wei Ran, who was about to ask something, nodded, silently helped light the gas lamp, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Almost as soon as he walked out of the tent, Dr. Lodge had already picked up a scalpel, cut open the wound roughly, and accurately found the vein on his thigh.
The sharp scalpel gently scratched the blood vessels, and dark red blood gurgled out with the beating of the heart. But Dr. Lodge poked the scalpel into the wound, then lit a cigarette, stood beside the hospital bed, and quietly looked at the chained dog lying on the bed.
Time passed one by one, and the blood flowing out from the wound had flowed along the edge of the hospital bed into the small bucket placed under the bed, and the chain dog also began to tremble continuously.
Throwing the burned cigarette butt into the iron bucket, Dr. Lodge looked at the chained dog on the hospital bed indifferently, then crossed his hands and pressed on the other person's chest using cardiopulmonary resuscitation, exerting force again and again. Press down to assist the other party's heart beating in order to pump more blood out of the severed blood vessels at the wound!
Finally, when the chain dog's wound could no longer flow any blood, and when he completely stopped breathing, Dr. Lodge pulled out the scalpel from the wound and removed the bullet inside. He picked it out, then picked up the blood-stained sheets under the body and rolled them up randomly.
"Soldier, take him out." Dr. Lodge explained with regret, "His blood vessel was broken, and I couldn't save him."
He was always at the door. The two soldiers waiting outside heard the words and got into the tent. They looked regretfully at the body that had been wrapped in sheets, and silently carried it to the stretcher by the window and sent it out of the tent.
Watching the two soldiers carrying the body and disappearing into the morning mist, Dr. Lodge, who was not even wearing gloves, took off the stethoscope hanging around his neck and used the bloody scalpel on it. It left a clear mark.
There are two shiny rings on the spring leaf of this stethoscope. As the scalpel left marks on it, the two rings also struck each other and made a pleasant sound.
Throwing the scalpel directly into the iron bucket under the bed, Dr. Lodge hung up the stethoscope again, then opened his collar, took out a heart-shaped women's necklace and looked at it, his face was no longer young. There was a brief look of relief on his face, a feeling of revenge.
"The 28th one..."
Doctor Rocky stuffed the necklace back into his collar, walked out of the tent filled with the smell of blood and nicotine in despair, and stumbled to sit down Under the remaining brick walls of the ruined clinic, someone seemed to be murmuring crazily, "It's not enough, it's far from enough..."
Behind the broken wall with a bonfire burning in the distance,Looking at Father Hans aside, the latter sighed, turned around and sat by the campfire and continued to cook the instruments waiting to be sterilized. After a long time, he explained to himself, "Dr. Lodge's wife and daughter , was killed by a chained dog in this alley. The chained dog was even his neighbor before he took office."
"This..." Wei Ran opened his mouth. Time doesn't know what to say.
"Okay, send these over."
Dad Hans didn't expect Weiran to say anything, so he used two pairs of tweezers to lift the tray in the sterilizer. He came out and poured all the steaming medical equipment into a large chrome-plated metal box and handed it to Wei Ran.
When he walked out of the ruins carrying the hot metal box, the red sunlight also emerged from the horizon, reflecting a half-circle outline in the thick fog. In the direction of the alley entrance, the two soldiers who were left by Wei Ran yesterday to carry the stretcher also walked through the fog that began to dissipate, preparing to start their new day's work.
"It's the 28th, and the war is almost over."
Wei Ran glanced at the direction of the alley entrance. Tonight, the Soviet Red Army will be able to capture Moltke. The bridge, wait until early tomorrow morning at the latest, this place may be occupied.
"Yeah, it's almost over."
Dr. Lodge walked over from the side and said, "Victor, after the war is over, do you want to come work in my clinic? "
"Go to work in your clinic?" Wei Ran looked at the ruins behind the two and couldn't help but ask, "After the war is over, are you still planning to open a clinic?"
Doctor Rocky spread his hands and asked happily, "Why not? This is a very fulfilling job, isn't it?"
Wei Ran smiled, "As long as Just don’t dislike my suturing skills.”
“You reminded me,” Dr. Lodge slapped his forehead in annoyance, “I didn’t tell you that I really can’t stand your suturing skills.”
