Living in Caoying, heart in Han

Under the cover of night, Ye Liang and the garbage dumper were both walking on the way out of the concentration camp.It took Ye Liang a lot of effort to not become friends with him without arousing suspicion. Their car was loaded with things that the incinerator could not burn, including piles of teeth.

Originally, these rubbish were also buried in concentration camps, but on the one hand, there was no place to bury them, and on the other hand, some people thought it was a waste of labor to dig up the soil all the time, so they decided to transport them out by car after a while.

Ye Liang had a loaded gun hidden in his sleeve, ready to fight back at any time.

This is the first time he has done such a thrilling thing. He began to recall every detail of his hometown, and sincerely felt that his life in the past 20 years was so peaceful and smooth. Scary and dangerous.

People who have experienced the pain of war never want to experience it again. This is a game played by those in power, but it is the blood and bones of soldiers and the pain and tears of civilians.No civilian benefits from war, neither side.

The gate of the concentration camp was opened, and someone outside took over a truckload of teeth and moved them to a transport vehicle for burial.Ye Liang and another soldier could only stand at the door, because without special orders, no one could enter or leave the concentration camp casually, even the officers and soldiers here.While dealing with the chat with the soldiers, Ye Liang pretended to be casually looking at the transport vehicle.

Halfway through the car, they ran into a simple roadblock thrown by Mivis and the others. People got out of the car to check the tires. Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Liang saw a few bags moving, and then a few people got out of them. The big help The little one, the little one pulled the old one, sneaked out of the car, and walked hard and carefully towards the established route to the place agreed by the Italian Rebel League.

Until the night engulfed their figures, Ye Liang still couldn't let go of his high-hanging heart. Unless he received Mivis's report tomorrow and everyone received it, it was impossible for him to let go of his heart.

Most of the children and women were sent out smoothly. Before Mivis delivered the letter, Guido found that his son Joshua did not hide in the garbage truck as agreed, but ran out to hide in the dormitory.

When he saw the boy poking his head out from under the bed, Guido was very angry, he looked at Joshua with the most severe eyes in his life, and asked anxiously and angrily, "Didn't Dad tell you something? There is going to be a wedding here, and children cannot participate? How can you violate the rules? How difficult it is for the host family!"

Joshua lowered his head with some grievances, and said softly in a childish voice: "I want to go back with my parents. I can also help, so I won't cause any trouble to the wedding."

Hearing what his son said, Guido suddenly couldn't say any more words of reprimand.He looked at the head of the child with lowered head, kneading his little hands, and a child with a frustrated and wronged look on top of his head. He pursed his lips and hugged him into his arms, and said in a steady voice, "You want to go home with mom and dad?" ?Okay, let's go home together. But you have to hide it well, so that no one can see it."

On Guido's side, the father and son are enjoying themselves, while on the other side, Mivis and Ye Liang are overcast.

What's wrong with losing a child?The rebels picked up other people, but found that one was missing. I don’t know if they didn’t get in the car at the beginning, or they lost it halfway. If they were discovered by the German guards...the consequences would be disastrous.

"I'll go check it out." Hearing that it was Joshua who was missing, Ye Liang probably guessed something.

Mivis's face was not very good: "I hope the child just ran away by himself, or it would fall into the hands of the Nazis... To be on the safe side, I have already asked others to move to a safe area, and I can't do it again in the past few months." Carry out rescue operations."

"People are dying every day, Mivis, you tell me that you choose to transfer for safety? Turn a blind eye?"

"Do you know how many Jews are hiding in our base? How many people's lives are counting on us? Once the Nazis find them, they will not even be sent to concentration camps, but will be shot on the spot." Mivis said angrily .

"There are still many local residents who risk being shot and hide them in attics and basements, and the Gestapo will come to check every week! Don't we want to save more people? If we can, we would like to send all the refugees Sent to the United States for asylum."

Doesn't he know that every day of delay, countless people will become wronged souls and never see the bright day, but this kind of thing is to die.

"I can't bear the goddamn thing here anymore, every day, every day... you know that mountain of corpses at the door of the incinerator? They're two stories high, and the smell of refining corpse oil permeates every day In every inch of air." Ye Liang said in a cold voice, this concentration camp is a slaughterhouse for human bodies, and he had never even been to an ordinary slaughterhouse in his previous life.

It is impossible to imagine that anyone with even the slightest bit of conscience can stay safely in such an environment.

He will go crazy sooner or later, Ye Liang thought somberly.

"I understand." Mivis reassured in a low voice.

"No, you have to come and send another batch next month. They have even decided on the list. Their only hope every day is to wait for their names to be included in the next batch of lists. You can't give up at this time." Ye Liang firmly said.

Mivis looked a little embarrassed.

"What if I went to make sure that the boy got lost by himself, and no one found him? Is there still a need for safe transfer?"

"Of course not, the committee is also for the sake of safety."

"I'll give you the answer soon."

"Okay then, Langlot, listen to me, tell them to hold on, it's almost over." Mivis once again talked about the anti-fascist allied forces, and the day they agreed to counterattack.

Ye Liang regretted countless times why he studied history so hard back then. He couldn't remember the date of the counterattack, and he couldn't even remember how many years it was when Germany was defeated.After all, it was a matter of the European battlefield, and he only remembered the date of Japan's surrender.

"You know it's not easy for everyone. I heard that there is a German businessman in Poland who is also saving lives." Mivis was silent for a moment and then said: "It seems to be called Oskar Schindler or something."

"Schindler?!" Ye Liang was startled by the familiar name.

"Why, you know that gentleman?" Mevis asked.

"No, I just heard his honorable name." Ye Liang remembered Schindler because of that famous movie, but it was originally adapted from a true story. Oskar Schindler did exist, and he was buried in the future In Jerusalem, he was regarded as "24 upright men" by the Jews, and his tombstone was covered with stones and flowers.

"Our people plan to contact him." Mivis said, "If you know him, maybe you can write a letter of introduction, otherwise he may not believe us."

"I remember him being on good terms with the top Nazis."

"He's a real businessman."

"In this case, you can get to know him by taking the business route." Ye Liang thought: "But he probably doesn't know me, but I really want to know him."

"Of course, if we can really get in touch with him, I will introduce him to you."

Guido took Joshua and Ye Liang to apologize, but of course the latter did not blame a child for wanting to be with his parents.He just sighed inwardly, and then touched Joshua's hair with his cold hand.

"Once a month, you draw up a list of personnel, the elderly, children and women are given priority." Ye Liang said.

Guido nodded. Although he was not considered a leader among the Jews, one of his roommates was very prestigious. Ye Liang successfully rescued a group of Jews this time, allowing him to finally gain the trust of the other party.

"Do you still want to learn Italian?" Guido asked suddenly when they were about to say goodbye.

Ye Liang smiled and tugged the collar of his military coat to resist the cold winter wind, then turned his head and said, "Are you willing to teach?"

"Of course, Italian is not difficult. It's very simple. You can also teach me German."

Ye Liang nodded, watching Guido send Joshua, who was rubbing his eyes, to sleep, and then sneaked out again.The moonlight shone brightly on the ground and buildings of the concentration camp. Langlot, as an "excellent" German, was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, tight muscles, and a healthy body. Even more cold and handsome.

But Guido knew that the other party was a kind and honest man with a very gentle heart.

"It's too cold today." Looking at Guido's thin prison clothes, Ye Liang frowned and said disapprovingly.

"You know I have nothing else to repay." Guido gave that silly smile again.

But Ye Liang thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe when the war is over and I am taken to a military court, you can speak for me? Or, if something happens to me in the end, please tell my mother. Love her so much, and I'm sorry."

Guido was stunned and said: "They won't take you to a military court, we can all testify. When the war is over, maybe you can invite us to your mother's house, or we invite your mother to Italy."

"Like a real friend," he added.

Ye Liang nodded, with a kind of softness in his eyes, he thought of the era he lived in.Even in such an era of openness and peace, the number of people from two countries and two nationalities who became true good friends was not too many.The struggle between countries, the hatred between nations, and the legacy of history are all like scars in people's hearts.

"Just like a real friend." Ye Liang repeated in a low voice.

The days that followed proceeded step by step according to the plan. Ye Liang still often secretly gave food, medicine and water to the Jewish prisoners, and Mivis and others secretly took five or six people away from the concentration camp every month. Joshua wisely Evading repeated searches, Ye Liang's Italian also improved rapidly during Guido's tutoring.

However, Ye Liang himself obviously doesn't have the talent to teach others. He is as smart as Guido, and he still stumbles in learning German. Joshua learned a few daily greetings in a similar manner, and said it out of his mouth.

Mevis contacted Oskar Schindler. Of course, this smooth businessman couldn't just trust them. He kept a cautious and friendly distance from each other, and the two sides tacitly continued to do their own things.

Ye Liang handed over most of the saved money to Schindler from Mivis's people. Ye Liang, who knew the other party's story well, understood what money meant to Schindler's life-saving activities. Buy one more life.

Of course, the money was not signed, and Mewis' colleagues only suggested that it was another German who had the same aspirations as Schindler.Schindler probably guessed what the money was used for, so he didn't touch it, but handed it to his Jewish account to save it for future emergencies.

This slightly peaceful day lasted until the day when the families of the German officers came to the concentration camp to reunite with them.

It is said that it is a family reunion, but in fact only senior officers have benefits. For a mid-level officer like Hans, and there are not many people left in the family, it is naturally not his turn.Langlot didn't marry a wife, and Mrs. Callali was very old. Besides, considering the environment of the concentration camp, Ye Liang was very worried that the old lady would faint on the spot.

So in the end there were a dozen wives, and some children of German officers.

For this reason, the concentration camp held a grand banquet. Although the food was not as rich as before the war, the purpose was to create an atmosphere, to be able to reunite with their families, and by the way, to show the supremacy of the senior officers in the concentration camp.

Although mid-level military officers cannot bring their family members, they are eligible to participate in such a banquet.They also took out the champagne wine that had been reserved for a long time and gave it to the officers to drink freely.In a way, this can be regarded as the last carnival.

Hitler and Nazi Germany could no longer hold on, Ye Liang thought with a sneer after getting the news from Mivis.

He watched glasses of wine being mixed at the table, people talking in low voices with false smiles, even though many of them understood that things were not going well.Ye Liang stood aside holding the wine glass, tilting his head slightly, just in time to see Dr. Li talking to Guido, who was a waiter.
