New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

In the blink of an eye, Ron had been in the hospital for five days.On this morning, after examining Ron, Dr. Behrman concluded that Ron could leave the hospital bed and go around the hospital in a wheelchair.So at noon, head nurse Kate pushed Ron in a wheelchair in the small garden of the hospital to let the wind go.

This hospital has a large garden, which was originally a typical European-style garden, symmetrical and regular.In the very center of the garden is a fountain with a Romanesque statue of a goddess, three life-size goddesses chasing each other.From this fountain, a road paved with square bricks extends to the four directions of southeast, northwest, respectively.And walking along this road for about 15 meters, there will be a circular path paved with coal chips that intersects with it. There are two such circular roads.These roads divide the garden into eight small blocks, each small block is a flowerbed filled with various flowers and trees.There are also some statues erected among the flowers and trees.Most of these statues are legendary characters. Ron recognized old King Lear here, recognized Hamlet and Ophelia, recognized Sir Lancelot and the one who couldn't remember the name clearly. queen.Of course, there were some sculptures that Ron didn't recognize either.

After the war began, the hospital was also bombed by the Germans. There was no sculpture in a flowerbed in the garden. It is said that the original sculpture there was blown up by a German bomb.Under the conditions of war, the domestic labor force was concentrated in the most important sectors.Therefore, the sculptures that were blown up were not rebuilt.Not only were the destroyed sculptures not rebuilt, but even the flowers and trees in the garden had completely changed their appearance due to lack of management.

Under the gardener's scissors, the flowers and trees that could only grow obediently according to the prescribed appearance, without restraint, grow freely and openly.Those cedars that should have been pruned into a standard conical shape stretched out their branches at will, regardless of whether it destroyed the regular shape.And those roses have already stretched out their vines from the prescribed flower stand, climbing between the cedar and the small-leaf poplar that is no longer spherical at all.And those mosses also quietly crawled all over the road.

"General, we originally had two gardeners." Nurse Kate talked to Ron as she pushed Ron 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 factory, well, he's a good carpenter. . . . Without the gardener, the garden is left untended, and that's what it turned out to be—a wild field!"

"I think this is very good. The flowers and trees grow freely and full of vitality. It's much better than those who are well-regulated, stereotyped, and have no personality at all." Ron said, raising his head and looking up. There is a rose flower that is blooming on a high place.The sun shines through the lavender petals of the rose, changing the blurred colors.

"Ah, it's kind of hot now," said Ron. "Can you push me under that big tree over there?"

"Of course you can, but you can't stay under that tree for a long time, especially not falling 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, and people think yew trees are poisonous, and it's not good for you to stay under a tree for too long."

"In this case, why is this kind of tree planted in the hospital?" Ron became interested.

"This tree does not grow insects, and it is said that people are less likely to get sick near this tree-as long as they are not too close and stay too long.  … Neither of these claims has been scientifically proven , However, once, Lida fell asleep on the bench under the big tree, and after waking up, she was sick for more than a month. So now, no one will stay under that big tree for a long time.”

"Yew? The kind of tree used to make longbows?" Ron asked curiously.

"Ah, I'm really not familiar with this." Nurse Kate replied. Obviously, the head nurse is not a military fan.She went on to ask:

"Or I'll push you under that oak tree over there, it's very shady there too."

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

Ron vaguely remembered that the yew tree might indeed be poisonous.It seems that an anticancer drug called paclitaxel can be extracted from the bark, and this kind of drug is not non-toxic in Ron's impression.

Nurse Kate pushed Ron along the cinder road, turned onto the brick road, and pushed towards the oak tree over there.At this moment, a white dress with some lace suddenly appeared in Ron's vision.

The girl in a dress was looking around anxiously. She turned her head and saw Ron, so her small mouth was raised upwards, revealing her small white front teeth.Then she opened her arms and flew towards Ron like a graceful swan—it was Nadya.

"Nadya, why are you here!" Ron was surprised and delighted.

Nadya ran up to Ron. She seemed to consider that there were other people present, and she started to slow down when she was 4 to 5 meters away from Ron, and finally stopped at a place about 1.5 meters away from Ron. down.Hearing Ron's question, she didn't answer immediately, but took a breath first, and then said slowly:

"I read it in the newspaper. There was an interview with General Collins in the newspaper. It mentioned that the German sniper wounded you. Are you all right? Where is the injury?"

"It's nothing serious, I just got shot in the knee." Seeing Nadya's worried expression, Ron added with a smile, "The doctor said that the shot just brushed past and hurt a little tendon." .In fact, I will be discharged from the hospital in no time.”

After hearing 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 and stretched out her hand to straighten the strand of blond hair floating on her forehead, and said, "What a coincidence you came. If you came at this time tomorrow, General Ron would have been discharged from the hospital." .”

After saying this, Nurse Kate let go of her hand on the push handle of the wheelchair and said to Ron: "Ah, General Ron, your wife is so beautiful. This place is too crowded, and when I remembered, I now There are still some things to deal with. Please allow me to excuse me first." She then walked towards Nadya.

"Mrs. Ron," Kate walked up to Nadya and said to her, "may I entrust my patient to your care for a while?" She looked down at her watch, "it's 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock I'll bring your lunch to you when it's time. Will it be delivered here or to the ward?"

"Yes, I will take good care of him." Nadya said hurriedly. Nurse Kate's address to her made her face a little hot, but she didn't know how to correct her. Maybe it's good not to correct her .She quickly lowered her head, and then remembered the question of where to send the food.She didn't know how to answer this question, so she raised her head and glanced at Ron quickly.

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

……

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

"Nadya, let's sit under that oak tree." Ron said, "There's a bench over there, and you can sit there and rest."

"Okay," said Nadya.

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 roll by itself.Then she crouched down at Ron's feet.

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

"Oh, there's nothing to see. The doctor bandaged it up so there's nothing to see."

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

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

The doctor bandaged it very carefully. The snow-white bandages and plaster tightly wrapped Ron's knee joint.Nadya really couldn't see anything.

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

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

Nadya said nothing, but wept silently.

Ron smiled and said, "Little baby, don't cry. Uncle hugs you!" He gently stretched out his hands, took Najia's little head into his arms, and stretched out his right hand to gently caress Nadia. back, as if stroking a cat.

Still sobbing, Nadya looked up from Ron's arms after a while.

"Okay, don't cry. Look, they've all turned into little cats." Ron stretched out his hand and scratched Nadya's nose lightly.

"Huh!" Najia laughed suddenly, that smile was like a rose blooming in the spring breeze, and it was still a rose with dewdrops.

Nadya wiped her face with her sleeve, and hurriedly took out the mirror and handkerchief from the small bag beside her. While tidying up her appearance in front of the mirror, she complained to Ron: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! I didn't take good care of it. Myself, let others..."
