Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 62
"What's wrong, what happened to Carter?"

"He..." Bella seemed not to know how to speak, but a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"I am fine."

Rosia and Bella raised their heads at the same time, the former widened his eyes in surprise, while the latter pursed her lips.

Only half of Carter's face was intact, but only half of his face was burned beyond recognition by something.It was like it was stuck on with tongs on TV. The fair skin had been burnt black and had a lot of disgusting blisters, which looked shocking.

However, this is only the surface. If you look closely, you can see that the scar is actually a hexagram.The symbol of the Jews, like their armbands.

Rosia instantly understood what happened. She took a deep breath, reluctantly looked away, and said: "Nurse Bella, you know I'm just a thoracic surgeon. I don't think I can help you. You should... "

Halfway through, she couldn't remember. Is there a beauty doctor in this hospital?
Bella shook her head: "No, you can, you just need to find, find..." She was a little embarrassed to say it, but Carter suddenly turned and left without saying a word. This action also interrupted what she was about to say.

Bella quickly caught up with her.

Rosia watched the two walk away inexplicably.

In the next few days, the hospital suddenly went crazy.

The phone in the office rang early in the morning. The ringing sound of this old-fashioned phone hurt people's ears.An emergency order came from the front yard, and a large number of police officers broke into the hospital and made a sudden inspection. They needed to hide these Jews.

The order was given too suddenly, and the nurse in the backyard had no time to make arrangements. She only pointed to a few places, and loud footsteps came from outside. The sound of kicking was like a hammer, hitting everyone's heart. The whistle makes your heart tense.

"Hurry up, hide under the bed, in the cupboard, underground, whatever." A nurse shouted.

"Nurse, who is coming? Why are we hiding? We are not prisoners."

"I don't know, I don't know anything. This is an order from the front. If you don't want to have an accident, you should hide quickly. If you get involved in the hospital!" She didn't continue, but all the Jews were silent.

Rosia came out of the office and pointed inside: "Can people hide here?"

"No!" A nurse directly refused: "There is no darkroom in the office."

She was about to say something more, but she heard a loud whistle at the entrance of the corridor. Several people came up, one of them was holding a list in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, others rushed into the ward with a burst of ping-pong.

But at this moment, the loudspeaker rang downstairs: "All doctors and nurses must gather in the lobby. The person in charge, please bring a list of patients. All doctors and nurses must gather in the lobby immediately. If you resist or try to escape, you will be punished with treason."

The announcement rang two or three times, and the nurse in the backyard was going downstairs when she heard a gunshot downstairs and suddenly exploded in the air.A different voice sounded from the loudspeaker: "Warn again, if you resist, you will be shot on the spot."

The sound of gunfire was like an alarm, and everyone speeded up their pace in unison.The backyard hall was not as crowded as the front hall, but it was packed with people. Several police officers who looked like leaders were standing outside the hall smoking.

Shockingly, these turned out to be all French police.Everyone thought it was German when they got the order call.The eyes of several nurses subconsciously glanced at them, but they got stares and a few muzzles.

After a while, the policeman outside the door finished smoking, stomped his feet, and walked in.But he didn't come to the nurses immediately, but was waiting for something.

After a while, several police officers from upstairs came down and whispered something in his ear.Seeing him nodding, he took out a list and walked over with one hand on the holster around his waist.

"Everyone, the weather is a bit cold. I don't think each other wants to stay in this crowded place. Then, the person in charge, the person in charge, please come out."

Bella came out slowly among the crowd.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and looked in Rosia's direction: "I thought the person in charge would be that unique doctor."

Rosia immediately shrank her shoulders calmly. Among the nurses in the hall, she was the only doctor, and she really stood out.

Fortunately, he didn't ask any more questions. He just put his hands on his back and walked around the hall: "It seems that this is the Department of Psychological and Psychiatric Diseases. As far as I know, there are not so many patients in Paris and the UK. So, please tell me, the person in charge." , why are more than 20 wards used here, and miraculously, there is no one in the wards."

Bella's hands were shaking slightly, but her face remained calm and composed: "The hospital does not have that many psychiatric patients. In fact, these are patients from other departments in the front hospital. The hospital is here to give them a wider space for recovery. .”

After a pause, she put her hands behind her back, clasped them tightly, and clasped them tightly.The nurses could see her trembling, but her voice remained calm as usual: "These patients are now..."

The lead policeman interrupted her: "Are you trying to tell me that they are all operating in the operating room in the front yard?"

His voice seemed extremely cold in this cold late autumn. Bella's face turned pale for a moment. The nurses standing behind her were also nervous, fearing that she would give some treacherous answer. Some people even hoped that she could Tell the Jewish secret.

But Bella still explained in her steady voice, even though she felt her voice began to tremble: "No, they are all physically disabled patients, and they are currently in the recovery period, so a doctor organized them to go for a walk on the Seine River. "

"Well, then why are there so many people here, aren't they taking care of someone?"

His tone was so determined that the people behind him almost felt like their secrets had been exposed, and their hearts rose in their throats.

"We are just sorting out the housekeeping."

Bella forced herself to explain, but the reason was so far-fetched that she couldn't remain calm.

Suddenly, the leading policeman raised his leg and kicked Bella down. Almost at the same time, his hands drew out a gun and pressed it to Bella's forehead.

"I hope that you can honestly explain the whereabouts of those Jews, and don't try to resist and make unnecessary excuses. You must know that this information came from your hospital."

"No, there are no Jews here!" Bella still insisted, but all the nurses behind her were silent, and no one dared to step forward to help her.

Rosia did not deny that she was also very scared. From the moment the policeman suddenly kicked Bella down, she suddenly felt that these French policemen were more terrifying than the Germans.She took a step forward with her leg, but was immediately pulled back by a nurse beside her.

The nurse lowered her voice and scolded: "Are you crazy? Don't move!"

Rosia suddenly felt ashamed. She was not going to rescue Bella. Firstly, she did not have the ability, and secondly, she did not have such a noble sentiment and character.She just didn't stand firm enough to make a move to get out of the queue.

The leading policeman clicked the safety of his pistol, but instead of pressing it against Bella's head, he raised his booted foot and kicked Bella's chest hard, knocking her half a meter away. Far.

The ferocious expression indicated that his patience was completely exhausted.

"You are a Frenchman. If you do something stupid again, I can only regret to announce that you will be charged with treason."

There was a faint roar from the crowd, and someone could faintly be heard cursing at the police.These are people from their own country who inflict violence on innocent civilians.

Bella struggled on the ground, raised her head, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, all on the policeman's trouser leg.

"Asshole." He cursed in a low voice, took out the list in his hand, glanced at it quickly, then suddenly looked at Rosia in the crowd, and muttered: "Thoracic Surgery, you, come here. "

Rosia was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the worried and sympathetic eyes of the nurse next to her, she felt helpless.

She once thought that the person she was most afraid of was Heinrich, followed by Creedy.And when she walked out, she suddenly realized that what she was most afraid of was not the two people who gave her fear but never hurt her. What she was most afraid of was the man standing in front of her with a fierce look and kicking Bella until she vomited blood. people.

Although Rosia tried hard to restrain herself, she couldn't control the trembling of her hands.The leading police officer shook his leg in disgust and pointed at Bella with his chin: "Show her."

Rosia knelt down and pressed her hand gently on Bella's heart. Bella couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood, but she struggled again and looked directly at the policeman: "No, you don't want anything here. The person you are looking for, and I ask you with the honor of being a Frenchman, why do you want to arrest the Jews? Are they our enemies? Does France have such a law?"

Staring at each other is already an extremely provocative behavior, and Bella's tone will undoubtedly make people angrier.Rosia quickly blocked her mouth. She thought that the policeman would lose his mind and give them two guns, but that didn't happen. He just yelled angrily: "Assholes, you idiots, don't you know that France has been destroyed? I don’t know who is in power now. These are Jews who escaped from Poland. They are fugitives. What does the Jews have to do with us? If we don’t hand them over, we will all be finished.”

"The Germans will kill us all!"

Rosia looked at the furious policeman in disbelief. Although she was not French, she did not expect that a person's position could be like this.As a policeman, he also had a military rank and could even be said to be a soldier. These were the words that came out of his mouth. The fall of France was not an accident. She could only repeat this sentence in her heart again.

"Sir, if you kick her again, Nurse Bella may be dead first."

The policeman suddenly stopped and looked at Bella, whose chest was blood red: "You shouldn't be so insistent on those bastards who will harm us."

"Sir!" Rosia had to raise his voice, this guy was already in a state of madness. "This is a hospital."

This is a hospital in Paris that belongs directly to the state and the Red Cross. In principle, no one can commit crimes here.

Suddenly a nurse shouted from behind: "This is a hospital. You have gone too far. We are not the only ones who will be ruined. You, God will punish all those who do evil."

"Then let's die together, let's all go to hell!" The nurses couldn't hold back their emotions any longer, and rushed up to help Bella, who was covered in blood, from the ground.

The leading police officer sneered. He said nothing and waved his hand. A group of soldiers ran out behind him, preparing to go upstairs to conduct a comprehensive search.

But at this moment, a man walked out of the stairs. He was very tall and handsome, but half of his face had a scar.

His high nose told everyone that he was Jewish.

Carter stepped out of the shadows, and several soldiers immediately aimed their guns at him.

"I have sent them all to Switzerland, and now I am the only one left in this hospital."

The lead policeman looked at Carter, smiled mockingly, and glanced at Bella.But Bella seemed to have had her soul pulled out, looking at Carter in despair.

"If this is true, I hope they can live well in Switzerland and never step into French territory." The leading policeman sneered, and the soldiers immediately grabbed Carter and half-pressed him.

Finally, he looked at the list in his hand again, and he sneered again, then waved: "Take the team!"

The police forced Carter to go to the front yard alone. The hospital was very large, and they didn't know what happened in the front yard now, but looking at Carter, these nurses would think of the Jews hiding upstairs.After all, we have been together for so long, and although there may be some impatience on the surface, everyone who takes care of them on a daily basis is sincere, and Carter is such an excellent person.

Several nurses couldn't help hugging each other and sobbing softly, but Bella was completely absent-minded, following Carter's figure with blank eyes.

These people didn't dare to catch up and stop them. They could all see that the leading police officer had actually let him go. If he didn't believe Carter, as long as someone went up to search, they would most likely be able to find the Jews.

Now, sacrificing Carter alone and saving more than 100 people seems to be the best choice.

Bella staggered two steps, the blood on her chest stung her eyes like a nightmare, but Carter seemed to feel something. Just before disappearing on the road, he suddenly looked back.

It was not clear which direction he was looking, but turning back made Bella burst into tears.

1940 was not the year of anti-Semitism in France, so the German order only asked the French police to catch people who had escaped from Poland.

Although there was some wind noise outside, it did not last long and soon disappeared.

A few days later, Rosia saw Heinrich, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Thinking about it, the last time I saw him was in July, and now it's October. Time flies so fast.

Ever since Heinrich's various minor problems were exposed, Rosia found that Ya was really awkward, especially gluttonous, so she came here to eat at this time.

He leaned on the chair with the appearance of a big villain in a TV series, with his legs folded loosely, except for his face, there was basically nothing worth admiring. It was really hard for Aunt Meisha to have a good chat with him.

"I heard that a group of Jews are hiding in your hospital?" He made an extremely terrifying opening remark.

"Ah, this, that may be the case!" Rosia laughed.

Heinrich stared at her twice, then turned his head casually, shaking his feet: "Where's that Polish kid?"

What kid? You're talking about Pino.
