Boris Suyev, Maria, and Yakov followed the Gula guards to a wooden house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The humble exterior of this wooden house is made of local wood. Above the entrance to the hut, a bright red cross sign hangs, and below the sign, the words "Clinic (Клиника)" are written in Russian.

Outside the wooden house, hundreds of Gula camp prisoners lined up. Their clothes were tattered and they had many scars on their bodies. Some people, who couldn't even stand, were half-lying and struggling to line up against the walls of their huts.

"Three comrades, this is the clinic, and Comrade Suevna is inside." The guard said to the three of them with a blank face.

Yakov waved his hand at Suev's father and daughter, motioned to follow, and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

As soon as the three of them entered the clinic, they smelled a disgusting stench, mixed with the smell of prisoners' sweat, corpses, infected wounds, and insects.

But in order to see their relatives, Maria and Suyev couldn't manage so much, so they rushed in anyway. Yakov, as a man who stood up to the sky and was also the head of the Tomsk City Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was not to be outdone, and followed the two into the place where the doctor was treating.

"Mom!" Seeing her mother's familiar face, Maria walked straight up and gave her an affectionate hug.

"Martha, how did you come here?" Daria was thrilled to see her daughter coming. Daria was dressed in a normal doctor's robe, and she looked the same as before. But Suyev took a closer look and found that there was already an extra wrinkle on her forehead and a few more gray hairs on her head, but her appearance and her figure still maintained the original high level.

"Dasha, aren't you able to come out? Why are you still in this place? What kind of work contract do you sign with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? "Suev didn't understand why Daria stayed in this hellish place, the people here are devils, and the environment here is no different from hell, but why stay?

"Boria, I am needed here, there are too many patients here who need medical care. If I'm gone, it's hard for them to get timely treatment and then they'll die. ”

Yakov came over and said: "Comrade Suevna, thank you for your contribution over the years. Are there not enough doctors here? ”

Daria looked at Yakov's uniform as a colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then at the young and energetic face, and knew that the other party had an extraordinary background. "Yes, comrade, there has always been a shortage of medical staff here, and the environment is harsh, and the prisoners are easily infected and difficult to get timely treatment."

"Understood. In this way, I will find a way to arrange more medical staff to be stationed to relieve the problem of medical tension. If you insist on staying, I will arrange an apartment for you outside, and at the same time, I will find a way to improve the environment of the clinic, what do you think? ”

Daria strongly agreed with Yakov's proposal to continue her mission and live with her family outside the camp. "Comrade Colonel, your proposal is very good."

Maria and Suev don't want to let Daria stay in this hellish place to work, they want to take Dalia to Novosibirsk and live with them and spend time together.

"But Dasha, now I have been transferred to Novosibirsk as the secretary of the October district party committee, and you stay in Tomsk...... It doesn't seem so good. Why don't you go with us to Novosibirsk. Suyev persuaded.

"Novosibirsk? Why not apply for a repatriation to Tomsk? ”

"It's complicated, don't ask."

Extremely curious, Daria wants to know the reason behind it, no matter how complicated it is, she wants to know it clearly. "I've never seen anything more complicated than the human body, and it doesn't hurt you to tell me."

"No, Dasha, let's talk about it when we get out."

"Why go out to say? Aren't these things light? ”

"No, but ......"

Yakov called the prisoners and prison guards out, and then said: "Comrade Suyevna, all this really cannot be said, otherwise it will ruin Comrade Manturov's plan." ”

Of course, the innocent Daria would not have known about Manturov's elaborate plan for the whole person, and she had never heard of Manturov's name after living in isolation in the Gula camp. "What plan? And who is Manturov? ”

Maria spoke before the two men: "Comrade Manturov is the newly appointed First Secretary of the Party Committee of the Novosibirsk Region, and the colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of you is the new head of the Tomsk City Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Comrade Yakov. At the risk of being purged, the two of them gathered evidence of Ehe's collusion with the → faction, and eventually succeeded in purging him. ”

"What? Ehe was purged? Daria didn't seem to believe much of this fact.

"Really, Ekh was really purged, and now Comrade Manturov is about to purge the Tomsk party organization, so Comrade Yakov was sent over and appointed as the head of the city bureau."

Daria still didn't quite believe this fact, and thought it was the child's words to coax her out. She looked at Yakov, the man in the uniform of a colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked: "Comrade Colonel, Masha she...... Is that true? ”

Yakov glanced out of the door through the crack in the door, and when he was sure that no one was eavesdropping, he said, "Really." But until Dubov is arrested, or proven innocent, please don't tell anyone. Otherwise, your whole family will be in danger, and Comrade Manturov's plans will be in vain. ”

"Don't worry, I won't say it. Dubov should have been sent to the Gula camp a long time ago. ”

"That's good, Tomsk is dangerous now, I advise you to get out of here and go to Novosibirsk. There's Gula camp too, and a good doctor like you, and a whole bunch of prisoners waiting to be treated. If you go there, you will not only be able to reunite with your family, but you will also be safe, and you will be able to continue your mission. ”

Daria pondered it for a moment and decided that Yakov's proposal was feasible. "Alright then, Boris, Martha, let's go to Novosibirsk."

Yakov opened the door and said, "Then hurry up, don't let Dubov know about you." Over there, Comrade Manturov has already allocated you a brand new three-bedroom apartment. With the increase in the production and quality of food in the Novosibirsk region, your family's food ration is much more abundant than before, and life is completely fine. ”

"Thank you then."

In this way, under the persuasion of Yakov, Daria finally left this ghost place.

After lunch, the family of three took the afternoon train to Novosibirsk.

Yakov, on the other hand, went to the Tomsk City Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry out an investigation of Dubov and others.
