When Asya followed Vasily's platoon and arrived at the prisoner of war camp on a sleigh, she saw Seryosha as soon as she entered the gate. She jumped off the sleigh, approached Seryosha, and asked: "Seryosa, where is Sokov?"
Seryosha pointed to the wooden house next to him and said: "He is convening a meeting with the platoon leaders inside. If you want to see him, you have to wait patiently for a while. Otherwise, I will take you to have a cup of hot tea first to keep you warm. Warm yourself up?"
Just when Asiya was about to agree, she suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing round glasses running towards the wooden house in the distance. He came to Asiya, looked down at the medical bag she was carrying, and asked anxiously: "Girl, are you a health worker?"
"Yes, I am a hygienist." Asiya nodded, and then asked: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I am Assistant Military Doctor Pavlov," the middle-aged man said conveningly: "A wounded man is in very dangerous condition, and I don't have enough medicine here. Can you help me?"
"Where are the wounded?"
Pavlov pointed in the direction of the wooden house and said: "It's in that house." When Asia heard that there were wounded people, she ignored Sokov and followed the assistant military doctor towards the direction of the wooden house.
The wooden houses in the prisoner of war camp were originally built to accommodate 300 people, but now there are more than 800 commanders and fighters crowded inside. Except for the wounded lying on the bed, the remaining commanders and fighters are standing or sitting on the ground. In the passage. Seeing the assistant military doctor come in with a young female health worker, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
"Please give way, comrades, please give way." Seeing that the passage was crowded with people, Asiya quickly raised her voice and shouted: "We are going to treat the wounded." People in the front stood up one after another. He stood up and stepped back hard to make way for Asiya and the others.
Asiya and Pavlov squeezed to the window of the wounded man. When she saw the injury on the wounded leg clearly, she couldn't help being shocked. She quickly turned to Pavlov and said: "Comrade Assistant Military Doctor, his wound is seriously infected. If If the leg is not amputated as soon as possible, it may be life-threatening."
"I know. But I don't have anesthesia here, so I can only ask for help." Pavlov nodded and said, "Also, when I help him amputate his leg later, I hope you can be my assistant."
…………
Because there were too many wounded, Asya, Pavlov, and a dozen health workers were busy until midnight.
With the support of Seryosha, Asya returned to the room where Sokov was. As soon as he entered the door, Sokov came up to him and, together with Seryosha, helped Asya sit on the chair.
Sokov smelled a strong smell of blood on Asiya's body, and asked curiously: "Asiya, why is there such a strong smell of blood on your body?"
Asiya did not answer, but first picked up the cup of hot tea on the table, drank it cleanly, felt a little relieved, and then gasped and said: "Today I helped Assistant Military Doctor Pavlov , performed amputations on more than 40 soldiers, do you think the smell of blood on them is not strong?"
"What, amputating the limbs of more than 40 soldiers?" Sokov was startled by the number, "So many?"
"I heard Pavlov say that the Germans locked our commanders and fighters in the open air and left them to fend for themselves." When he said this, Asiya's eye circles suddenly turned red, and her tears flowed red from the cold. His cheeks were streaming, "It is said that hundreds of people freeze to death every day. In order to survive, the remaining people can only take off the military coats of the dead and wear them to keep warm..."
Asiya's words reminded Sokov of the piles of corpses he saw at the edge of the forest. The clothes on them were all very thin. It turned out that their military coats had been stripped off by their living comrades. However, under the circumstances, there was nothing wrong with doing so. After all, the living needed these military coats more than the dead.
After Sokov talked to Asiya for a while, he saw that Asiya could hardly open her eyes, so he said to her: "Asiya, there is a bed in the bedroom next door. You can go in and rest."
Asiya looked in through the open door and saw that there was only one bed inside, so she turned to ask Sokov: "If I sleep in your bed, then where will you sleep?"
Hearing Asiya's question, Sokov almost blurted out: "Let's squeeze in and sleep together!" But in the end, he did not say these words, but pretended to be noble and said, "You sleep on the bed, and I will lie down." Take a nap on the table.”
"No, how can this be done?" Asiya shook her head like a rattle, "Misha, you are the commander. If you don't get a good rest at night, it will affect your command of the battle."
Seeing that Asiya refused to go into the bedroom to rest, Sokov asked with a wry smile: "Then what should I do?"
Asiya thought for a while and then said, "How about you go in and sleep on the bed while I lie on the table and take a nap?"
Sokov was not willing to let Asiya sleep on the table. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, trying to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Seeing Sokov walking back and forth in the room, Asya said casually: "It's a pity that there is no other woman here, otherwise I could go to her place and sleep overnight."
Asiya's unintentional words reminded Sokov, he slapped his forehead with his hand and thought angrily: Yes, there is another woman here, how could I forget her. He quickly stopped and said to Asiya: "Asiya, there really is a girl living here. You can sleep with her tonight."
"Girl, what girl?" When Asiya heard Sokov say there was a woman here, she immediately became excited: "Who is she? Is she a family member of a German officer?"
"That's not true." Sokov shook his head and explained to Asiya: "Her name is Agelina, she works as a translator in a prisoner of war camp, and she stayed in enemy-occupied areas to do underground work under orders from her superiors. "Then he briefly introduced Agelina's situation to Asiya.
After getting Asya's consent, Sokov took her to Agelina's door. Sokov raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and an alert voice immediately came from inside: "Who, who is outside?"
"It's me," Sokov quickly replied: "I'm Sokov!"
Agelina in the room heard that it was Sokov who knocked on the door outside, and she felt much more at ease. She put the grenade in her hand back under the pillow, straightened her pajamas, and came to the door. Bian said to the outside: "Comrade Lieutenant, it's too late, I have already gone to bed. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
Sokov was eager to accommodate Asya, so naturally he couldn't wait until tomorrow. When he heard Agelina issue an eviction order, he quickly said: "Comrade Agelina, please open the door. I have something important to discuss with you." discuss."
Agelina, who was standing behind the door, hesitated for a moment, feeling that as Sokov's identity, he would definitely not do anything excessive to her, so she finally opened the door. He asked Sokov who was standing outside the door: "Comrade Lieutenant, what can I do for you?"
"I want to arrange for someone to live with you." Sokov said to Agelina with some embarrassment: "Is it okay?"
Just when Agelina was about to refuse, Asiya came out from behind Sokov, took the initiative to reach out to Agelina, and said with a smile: "Hello, Agelina! Let me be myself Introduce, my name is Asia, I am the health worker of the Istrian camp.”
"Hello, Asiya!" Seeing a girl of similar age to herself standing outside the door, Agelina's face immediately showed a smile, she stretched out her hand to shake Asiya's hand, and said enthusiastically : "Stop standing outside the door, come in quickly."
Seeing Asiya entering the house, Sokov wanted to follow him in, but Agelina held out her hand to stop her. Agelina said politely: "Comrade Lieutenant, it's getting late. You'd better go back and rest early." After that, before Sokov could speak, she closed the door with a bang.
After being rejected, Sokov stood at the door dumbfounded. After being in a daze for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked back to his room.
