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.
