War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 140 Teacher's doubts

At nine o'clock in the morning on November 11st, Wei Ran and Ji Ma arrived at Hongqi Forest Farm on time.

Karp looked at his watch, then nodded in satisfaction, beckoned the two of them to follow, and took the lead into the five-story building assigned to them.

"Take the test today to see how much you remember of what you learned before."

Karp stood at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor and said, "In the next half month, the key courses will mainly include amputation surgery, radio courses, and gun shooting courses. If you progress faster, you may also add driving courses. Of course, this building The building still needs to be cleaned out as soon as possible.”

"Mr. Karp, did you help build the swimming pool?" Jima asked, pointing to the filled swimming pool in the hall on the first floor.

Karp glanced at Jima, and said noncommittally, "In addition to what I just said, every morning, you have to swim back and forth in the swimming pool twice."

Wei Ran and Ji Ma looked at each other after hearing the words, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. The longest swimming pool is only 20 meters to the sky, and the two round trips are only 80 meters, which is not too difficult.

As if he had guessed what the two of them were thinking, Karp continued with a smile, "In addition, there is no heating in this building in winter. In addition, when you are swimming, everyone has to carry a dummy. When the time comes, I will Teacher Dalia will help you on the shore with rubber bullets."

Seeing that Wei Ran and Jima's faces had turned pale, Karp smiled with satisfaction, "Now go to the third floor to take the German test and see how your self-study progress is."

"Victor, what should we do?" Jima asked stammeringly, "Didn't you stop learning German?"

"It's because we study by ourselves, it's not that we don't learn." Wei Ran replied gloatingly, "Jima, don't tell me you haven't learned at all."

"Did you learn it?" Ji Ma looked suspiciously at Wei Ran who was walking ahead.

"Of course, of course I learned!" Wei Ran vowed to say the answer that Ji Ma didn't want to hear the most.

"I hate going to school" Jima murmured, followed Wei Ran up to the third floor resignedly, and walked to a not-so-big classroom.

First completed a test paper full of all kinds of swear words, and then completed the oral dialogue with Teacher Dalia in turn.Wei Ran walked out of the classroom with the other party's satisfied smile, but Ji Ma was directly locked in the classroom to make up lessons and catch up with the progress.

"Forget about quarter horses"

Dalia led Wei Ran into an empty room, except for two single beds used as operating tables and a barbed wire cage under the bed, there was nothing else.

Teacher Dalia pointed to the wild boar and the poor silly roe deer that had been firmly tied to the bed with slings and said, "Your job is to heal their wounds."

Wei Ran circled around the two unlucky bastards, "There are no wounds?"

"It will be there soon." Teacher Dalia threw Wei Ran an old-fashioned Soviet gas mask while speaking, "Put it on!"

Wei Ran realized something was wrong, and quickly put the gas mask on his face.However, before he could tighten the lock, Mrs. Dalia already had a folding saw and a Nagant revolver in her hands.

"Boom!"

Two consecutive shots left a bullet hole in the thighs of the two animals. Teacher Dalia threw the pistol beside the bed, and then yanked the two animals around the shoulder blades with a saw, leaving a hole in each of the two animals. There was a hideous wound that was more than ten centimeters long and hurt the bone.

Throwing the bloody saw on the table, Dalia unhurriedly took out a small knife, roughly cut the cloth strips on the mouths of the two animals, and left a knife wound on the gums of the two animals. the wound.

Amidst the screams, Teacher Dalia threw a headlamp to Wei Ran, went to the window and drew the heavy curtains enough to block out all the light, "Let's start! Don't open the curtains, don't open the windows, let alone open the door or Take off the gas mask."

Before she finished speaking, she opened the door and left the room. When passing the operating table, she dropped two smoke bombs emitting thick smoke into the barbed wire cage below, and locked it!

Neuropathy!
Wei Ran cursed secretly, and hastily turned on the headlight and fixed it on top of his head. Amidst ear-piercing screams, he roughly tore off the sheet on the operating table, wet it with water, and covered it on the barbed wire cage.

After temporarily eliminating the effects of the smoke bombs, he found out the first aid kit, put on rubber gloves and started the rescue work.Thanks to the large amount of first aid experience accumulated in Dr. Lodge's clinic, Wei Ran quickly used the hemostat to temporarily contain the bleeding points on the shoulder blades of the two unlucky ones, and only then did he think about debridement and disinfection of the wounds and suture work .

Before he could finish suturing the wild boar's shoulder blade, a small cover was opened on the door, and then two smoke bombs with thick smoke were stuffed in!
Throwing away the medical equipment in his hand, Wei Ran picked up the smoke bomb and stuffed it under the wet sheet, then pushed the canopy bed that served as the operating table, and blocked the doorway that seemed to provide an entrance for kittens and dogs with the legs of the bed.

Putting on new gloves, Wei Ran speeded up his hand movements, and after roughly finishing the first wound suture, he immediately began to tidy up the shoulder blade of that silly roe deer.

But how could Teacher Dalia let him go so easily?In less than five minutes, there was a clear sound of glass shattering outside the heavy curtains, and a string of smoking firecrackers was accurately thrown in by Teacher Dalia who was hanging upside down outside the window.Immediately after the firecrackers were thrown in, there were two more smoke bombs!
In a hurry, he picked up the smoke bomb again and stuffed it under the wet sheet. Wei Ran speeded up his hand, and with the help of the faint light of the headlight, he sewed up the silly roe deer's shoulder blade at the fastest speed in the thicker and thicker smoke. immediately began to clean the gunshot wound on the thigh.

Under Teacher Dalia's repeated troubles, Wei Ran hurriedly took out the bullets inlaid in the muscles of the hind legs of the two animals, sewed up the broken blood vessels and muscles, and immediately pressed the light switch on the wall, pushing the iron The canopy bed makes room for the door to open.

As the fluorescent tubes were lit up in a burst of flickering, Teacher Dalia, who had already returned to the door, finally opened the locked door.

When the almost solidified smoke in the room drifted away along the open window, Teacher Dalia looked at the wounds of the two animals, and a flash of surprise flashed in those smiling eyes.

"Go next door"

Teacher Dalia took off the gas mask on her head and said, "Send "Katyusha" in Morse code, then take the radio orientation equipment and backpack, and go to the forest to find five orientation points."

Wei Ran heard that he was about to go out, but he heard the latter say with a smile, "Put on the gas mask, and take it off before eating."

Wei Ran nodded when he heard the words, resignedly picked up the gas mask he just took off, and ran out of the room full of smoke bombs and firecracker confetti as fast as he could.

It wasn't until he got into the next room that Karp came out from the opposite room calmly and lit a cigarette without haste.

"I even suspect that he used the time of vacation to practice secretly." Teacher Dalia kicked a smoke bomb while speaking, "These things can be stopped in the future, and it seems to have no effect on him, and"

"What?" Karp asked incredulously.

Dalia seemed to be unable to find a suitable adjective for a while, "He seems calm and a little abnormal, like"

"Not a novice?" Karp asked sharply.

“Not really like a rookie”

Dalia used a scalpel to cut open the freshly sutured wound of the wild boar's shoulder blade and carefully observed it, and kept saying, "It's hard to describe, but you have to trust a woman's intuition, he feels very strange to me .”

Karp, who was smoking a cigarette, nodded, changed the subject unhurriedly and asked, "How is his German?"

"The learning progress is faster than expected." Teacher Dalia stood up and gave a pertinent evaluation again.

"Since we are quick learners, we can also teach faster." After Karp finished speaking, he picked up the pistol beside the bed, pointed at the howling wild boar and silly roe deer, and pulled the triggers to end their lives.

"Where is Jima?" Teacher Dalia asked against the door frame.

"Learn as much as you can, we are not a charity." Karp said irresponsibly, "Try to let him learn as many life-saving things as possible."

Dalia nodded when she heard the words, looked pitifully at the half-open door next door, silently took out a firecracker from her pocket and lit it, and threw it in through the crack of the door.But Wei Ran, who was tapping the keys in the room, seemed not to be affected much at all.

Dalia and Karp looked at each other, and they turned and walked towards the stairwell in silence.

Compared with the doubts in the hearts of the two teachers, for Wei Ran, the very fulfilling and noisy study life on the first day of the new school just happened to let him get out of the emotions left over from the Battle of Berlin.

Especially from the second day on, every morning, he and Jima would jump into the increasingly cold swimming pool, each holding a lifeless silicone dummy, swimming back and forth twice.

I don’t know if it’s because of that old bastard Karp’s bad taste. After discovering that there are female students who get up early to exercise here to watch the excitement, this old thing immediately changed the rules, and even made the slowest one in the middle of the two hug each other before breakfast. Wearing a silicone dummy that is no different from a real person, he ran around the main building of the forest farm in a shameful lap wearing only a pair of swimming trunks.

Under such effective urging, Ji Ma, who was barely ashamed, and Wei Ran, who didn't want to be ashamed, had to work hard every morning,
In addition to these most basic physical exercises, medical courses are another story.Among other things, at least the chef in the cafeteria from the same village as Jima has learned how to stew pig's trotters with soybeans with the greedy Wei Ran. Not only them, but also the beautiful female students will come over every noon Follow the autumn wind.

However, what everyone didn't expect and couldn't laugh or cry was when the two of Wei Ran began to learn abdominal surgery with Dalia so that they couldn't provide ingredients.Those tough girls who also paid their tuition fees took up shotguns one after another, and went to the forest every now and then, trying to start a small fire for themselves.

Such an intense and fulfilling class lasted for a whole week. When Ji Ma was able to cut off a section of intestines for a wild boar, the five-story building assigned to them was almost cleaned up with the help of a few foodies. Yes, and the price they have to pay, apart from practicing fighting as a human target for an hour every night, is nothing more than Wei Ran bringing all kinds of cheap and weird Chinese snacks.

"Okay, the medical course is temporarily over."

In a consultation room on the third floor, while speaking, Teacher Dalia shot the heart and lungs of two wild boars on the operating table who had just completed abdominal surgery, which was a temporary end to the medical course.

Wei Ran and Jima looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The latter asked while taking off his gloves, "Dalia, what shall we study next?"

Hearing this, Dalia picked up the documents on the table and looked at them. After thinking for a moment, she said, "In addition to focusing on fighting skills, Victor mainly focuses on firearms training, and you mainly practice driving skills."

"Driving skills?" Jima looked at Teacher Dalia in confusion, "But I have a driver's license."

"But you look like you have no brains"

Teacher Dalia glanced at Jima, and led them to the room at the other end of the corridor. After opening the door with a key, he pointed to a row of human bone specimens neatly placed inside and said, "Now let's learn how to fight in a fight." The most important part of the attack, as well as the method of death or injury or disability."

"Practice with these bones?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"nonsense!"

This time it was Ji Ma who answered Wei Ran, and he only listened to the guy who said it as a matter of course, "This kind of thing is very dangerous at first sight, are you still going to practice with those beautiful girls who help us clean up?"

"Okay, now is not the time for small talk, let's start with the head first." Teacher Dalia shook her head helplessly, reached out to fetch a white skeleton and placed it under the turned on spotlight.
