Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 34
Rosia didn't know how she got back to the hospital, so she walked in to find Bello in a daze.

The girl who was only a little older than her was sitting on the sofa waiting anxiously.

The Germans broadcast several times throughout Warsaw that the rebels were going to be shot in Orle Square today, and Bello heard it too. She knew that some of them were from the hospital. When Rosia and Henry were not found, she would I thought the two of them were going to see their colleagues for the last time.But Henry's identity made her unable not to worry.

After waiting anxiously all morning, just when he was about to rush out to find someone, Rosia came back.

Bello rushed forward happily, only to see that Rosia's body was covered with snow, her clothes were wet, and she was in a miserable state.

"Sia, you..." She couldn't continue talking until she was halfway through. Henry's body was carried in by two German soldiers and dumped on the ground casually.

As if struck by lightning, Bello loosened Rosia's clothes in a daze, walked slowly towards Henry, stared at the face with closed eyes for a long time, and finally burst out with a wailing cry: "Henry! Henry! Henry! You guys!" What have you done, what have you done, Henry is a legal Polish citizen, his life has been bought, you have no right to kill him... Wuwu..."

"Please calm down, madam." The soldier coldly pushed Bello's hand away, "I think you don't know the identity of your husband. He is one of the leaders of the underground party in Warsaw and has planned more than one assassination against Germany. I believe Me, if it wasn't for that young lady, your husband's body would have appeared in a wilderness that no one knew about."

Bello shuddered, glanced at Henry with his eyes closed blankly, and then rushed forward again: "You lie to me, you executioners, Henry is not an underground party, he is just a doctor, he is just A doctor, you can’t find out clearly? Woohoo...Henry..."

The soldier waved Bello away again, looked around the hospital hall, and then looked at Rosia who was standing blankly. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

Bello suddenly lost all support and sat down on the ground with a plop, looking at Henry on the ground and crying in pain.

Two more doctors came down from upstairs. When they saw the scene in the hall, they immediately shouted, and someone ran over and carefully put Henry on the ground on a stretcher, preparing to carry him to the emergency room.

Rosia stretched out her hand to stop him, her voice hoarse: "Don't do first aid, Henry is already gone."

Belo sobbed and got up from the ground, hugged Rosia, buried his face on Rosia's shoulder, and said sadly: "Sia, Sia, what happened to you, wu... How could Henry become an underground party? Woolen cloth……"

Hot tears rolled down her neck and into her clothes. Rosia shuddered as she was burned, and suddenly she was back in Orle Square not long ago.

Maybe everyone has a time when they risk everything. Although Rosia still has the fear of death and forbearance of modern people, once a person is really forced into a desperate situation, he can do anything.

When she heard that these rebels would be thrown into the wilderness to be slaughtered and fed to dogs, a string in Rosia's mind suddenly broke, and she rushed towards the military vehicle like crazy.As for what the German officer said, she didn't know from beginning to end. She only remembered that she was hysterical and asked them to take Henry's body back to the hospital.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is the case with Rosia. It is probably that the SS man also thought that this woman was crazy. No matter how fierce he was, he had to give in to someone who was desperate for his life, so he inexplicably let the two soldiers Sent Henry to the hospital.

When Rosia thought about it at this moment, she suddenly felt scared, and a cold air seemed to spread upwards from her collar.

At that time, she had really given up her life and completely lost her mind.Rosia certainly knew that the German officer would not compromise because he was really afraid of her. Under the circumstances, the most likely thing was that she would also be shot and thrown into a mass grave.In the end, this situation still happened. Maybe it was just because today was Christmas that he was lenient.

Although she was scared, Rosia had no regrets. She always hated her powerlessness and being unable to do anything. Being able to save Henry's body now was a silent comfort that she tried her best to give herself.

Rosia stretched out a hand and patted Bello's back gently, shedding tears slowly: "Bello, you have to believe Henry, he is not an underground party, he is the greatest man, he has saved countless Polish civilians His life, you should be proud of him."

"Woooo..."

"He also asked me to buy Pino a piano, but I was a little crazy and forgot to bring the piano back."

"Woooo..."

"Bello..." Rosia suddenly choked up. She was not a comforting person. She also had a lot of tears to shed, fear, and collapse, which tortured her spirit all the time.

All the other girls in the hospital ran out. When they saw Henry, their eyes were all red, and they couldn't help hugging each other and weeping in a low voice.

What a good man Henry was, even though he was a Jew, he was respected by everyone.

Some people are still alive, but they are already dead, and some people are dead, but they are still alive.

Maybe separation between life and death was too common during the war. Soon everyone came out of the haze of Henry's departure, including Bello.It's not that they don't feel sad, but they have to become stronger. When the protection in front of you falls, the people behind you have to use their flesh and blood to prop up a new city wall.

According to the usual practice in previous years, the evening should have been a Christmas Eve carnival, but after the shooting, no one bothered to put up Christmas decorations anymore.However, to add fuel to the fire, the Germans are holding a grand dinner at the hotel opposite today.

Behind every large-scale banquet, huge manpower and preparations must be invested in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.The hotel manager came over before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He wanted to invite two doctors to "take charge".

The German officer corps is composed of the most famous Junker nobles in Germany. They have good cultural accomplishment and artistic accomplishment. No matter how cold-blooded they are on the battlefield, in private, everyone will become the most elegant and courteous gentleman. .The manager was naturally not afraid of these officers causing trouble. The real trouble was that the banquet was not only attended by the Wehrmacht, but also by the SS, as well as the declining Polish nobility who relied on the Germans.

Among them, the real troublemakers were the overfed Polish nobles, and with the SS nearby, the manager did not dare challenge the endurance of the hotel walls.

Because today is a special day, the entire hospital will have a night off, which means there will be no one on duty tonight.But the Christmas dinner was always an all-night carnival. If a certain nobleman's health happened in the middle of the night, there would be no way to solve it, so the manager rushed over to borrow someone.

To be fair, this is not a good thing.Henry left, and the air pressure in the hospital itself was very low. Who would want to serve a group of brutal German devils, not to mention it was still Christmas.

A group of people looked at Rosia in silence.

Director Fritz was away and Henry was gone. After thinking about it carefully, Rosia realized that she was the one with the most authority in the hospital.She is a doctor and an assistant to the dean. In the absence of the dean, the decision-making power of some things falls into the hands of Rosia.

Under the eager gaze of a group of people, Rosia felt no pressure. After thinking for a moment, she still smiled: "Obviously it is very inhumane to ask you to work overtime on Christmas. So, I have decided that you should have a normal rest tonight."

Everyone cheered, but the hotel manager stood aside with an ugly expression.
