In the blink of an eye, Ron had been in the hospital for five days. On this morning, after examining Ron, Dr. Bellman concluded that Ron could leave the hospital bed and sit up.

The wheelchair moved around the hospital. So at noon, head nurse Kate pushed Ron in the wheelchair for a walk in the small garden of the hospital.

This hospital has a large garden, which was originally a typical European-style garden, symmetrical and regular. In the center of the garden is a fountain with a Roman-style goddess sculpture, with three sculptures on it that look like real people.

The goddesses, big and small, are chasing each other. From this fountain, a road paved with square bricks extends in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. And walk along this road for about 15 meters, and there will be a circular coal-lined road.

There are two circles of circular roads intersecting them. These roads divide the garden into eight small areas. Each small area is a flower bed filled with various flowers and trees. Between the flowers and trees

There are also some statues erected. Most of these statues are legendary characters. Ron recognized old King Lear here, recognized Hamlet and Ophelia, recognized Sir Lancelot and

The queen whose name I can't quite remember. Of course, there are also some sculptures that Ron can't recognize.

After the war began, the hospital was also bombed by the Germans. There were no sculptures in one of the flower beds in the garden. It is said that the original sculptures there were blown up by a German bomb. Under war conditions

, the domestic labor force has been concentrated in the most important departments. Therefore, the sculptures that were bombed have not been rebuilt. Not only the destroyed sculptures have not been rebuilt, but even the flowers and trees in the garden have been destroyed due to lack of management.

His appearance has completely changed.

Those flowers and trees that were originally forced to grow according to the prescribed pattern under the gardener's scissors, without restraint, grew freely and magnanimously. Those cedars that were originally supposed to be pruned into standard conical shapes, all stretched as they pleased.

They cling to their own branches, regardless of whether they destroy the regular shape. And those roses have already extended their vines out of the prescribed flower stand, climbing between the cedar and the small-leaf boxwood that is no longer spherical at all.

The moss also quietly covered the road.

"General, we originally had two gardeners." Nurse Kate talked to Ron as she pushed him around the garden along the cinder path. "When the war started, one of them went to join the army, and the other went to

An aircraft manufacturer, well, he was a good carpenter... Without the gardener, there was no one to take care of the garden, and the result was like this - it all grew into wild fields!"

"I think this is very good. The flowers and trees all grow freely and full of vitality. They are much better than those that are regular, uniform and have no personality at all." Ron said, raising his head and looking up.

There is a rose flower blooming high up there. The sunlight passes through the lavender petals of the rose, changing the blurry colors.

"Ah, it's a little hot now." Ron said, "Can you push me under the big tree over there?"

"Of course, but you can't stay under that tree for a long time, especially you can't fall asleep under that tree." Kate said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Is there anything special about that tree?" Ron asked.

"Oh, that's a yew tree. People think that the yew tree is poisonous, and staying under the tree for too long is bad for your health."

"In that case, why do we plant this kind of tree in the hospital?" Ron became interested.

“This kind of tree does not grow insects, and it is said that people near this kind of tree—as long as they don’t stay too close and stay for too long—are less likely to get sick...Both of these claims have not been scientifically proven.

, However, one time, Lida fell asleep on the bench under that big tree, and she was sick for more than a month after she woke up. So, no one will stay under that big tree for a long time now."

"Yew? Is that the kind of tree used to make long bows?" Ron asked curiously.

"Ah, I'm really not familiar with this." Nurse Kate replied. Obviously, the head nurse was not a military fan. She then asked:

"How about I push you under the oak tree over there? It's also very shady there."

"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Ron vaguely remembered that the yew tree might indeed be poisonous. It seems that an anti-cancer drug called paclitaxel can be extracted from the bark, and in Ron's mind, there is no non-toxic drug of this kind.

Nurse Kate pushed Ron along the cinder road, turned onto the brick road, and pushed towards the oak tree on the other side. At this moment, a white dress with some lace suddenly appeared.

In Ron's field of vision.

The girl in the dress was looking around anxiously. She turned her head and saw Ron. Then her little mouth was raised, revealing her white little front teeth. Then she opened her arms and looked towards an elegant swan.

The same thing flew towards Ron - it was Nadya.

"Nadia, why are you here!" Ron was surprised and happy.

Nadya ran to Ron. She seemed to consider that there were other people present, so she started to slow down when she was 4 to 5 meters away from Ron, and finally stopped about 1.5 meters away from Ron.

After hearing Ron's question, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she calmed down her breathing first, and then slowly said:

"I saw it in the newspaper. There was an interview with General Collins in the newspaper. It was mentioned there that a German sniper wounded you. Are you okay? Where is the injury?"

"There's nothing serious about me, I just got shot in the knee." Ron saw Nadya's worried expression and added with a smile, "The doctor said that the shot just grazed it and damaged a little tendon.

.In fact, I will be discharged from the hospital soon."

After listening to Ron's words, Nadya didn't seem to be completely relieved. She raised her eyes and looked at Nurse Kate standing behind Ron with inquiring eyes.

"Are you General Ron's wife?" Nurse Kate smiled, stretched out her hand to straighten the strand of blond hair floating on her forehead, and said, "It's a coincidence that you came. If you come here at this time tomorrow, General Ron will have been discharged from the hospital.

.”

After saying this, Nurse Kate loosened her hand on the wheelchair push handle and said to Ron: "Ah, General Ron, your wife is so beautiful. This place is too crowded, and I remembered that I am now

There are still some things to deal with. Please allow me to excuse you." She then walked over to Nadya.

"Mrs. Ron," Kate walked up to Nadya and said to her, "can I leave my patient under your care for a while?" She looked down at her watch, "It's 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock now.

I will bring lunch to you when you arrive. Should lunch be delivered here or to the ward?"

"Okay, I will take good care of him." Nadya said hurriedly. The name Nurse Kate called her made her face feel a little hot, but she didn't know how to correct her. Maybe it would be good not to correct her.

. She quickly lowered her head, and then remembered the question behind where to send the meal. She didn't know how to answer this question, so she raised her head and glanced quickly at Ron.

"Ah, thank you, Nurse Kate. Just send it to the garden." Ron said, "I have been bored in the ward for several days and want to stay outside for a while."

…

Nadya pushed the wheelchair carefully, as if Ron sitting on it was made of glass.

"Nadia, let's go sit under the oak tree." Ron said, "There is a bench there. You can sit there and take a rest."

"Okay." Nadya said.

She pushed Ron under the big oak tree, and then carefully fixed the brakes of the wheelchair - although the ground here was very flat, it was impossible for the wheelchair to slide on its own. Then she squatted down at Ron's feet.

"Can you let me see your wound?" Nadya asked carefully, as if she was afraid that speaking too loudly would hurt Ron's leg.

"Oh, there's nothing to see. The doctor bandaged it up, so you can't see anything."

"But I don't feel at ease if I don't look at it!" Nadya pouted, her red lips like a big cherry.

"Well, I can't beat you!" Ron first opened the blanket covering his legs, revealing his bandaged legs.

The doctor bandaged it very carefully. The white bandage and plaster wrapped Ron's knee joint tightly. Nadya could not see anything.

"Does it still hurt?" Nadya said, "It must be very painful." Big tears welled up from her eyes and fell on the ground next to the wheelchair.

"It hurts. My heart hurts when I see you crying." Ron reached out his hand and gently stroked Nadya's soft long hair.

Nadya didn't say anything, just shed tears silently.

Ron smiled and said: "Baby, don't cry. Uncle hugs you!" He gently stretched out his hands, took Nadya's little head into his arms, and stretched out his right hand to gently caress Nadya.

His back was like stroking a cat.

Nadya was still sobbing, and after a while she raised her head from Ron's arms.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. Look, they have turned into little tabby cats." Ron stretched out his hand and gently scratched Nadya's nose.

"Huh!" Nadya laughed all of a sudden. Her smile was like a rose blooming in the spring breeze, and it was also a rose with dewdrops.

Nadya wiped her face with her sleeves, and hurriedly took out a mirror and handkerchief from the small handbag beside her. While arranging her appearance in the mirror, she complained to Ron: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you don't take good care of yourself,
