Chapter 14: Sleeping in a Cave
When Zhang Xuan took Hepburn's mother and daughter to Denmark after a lot of hard work, a bad news came that the Nazis were hunting Jews on the European continent, and the mustache's crazy genocidal policy was finally >
& Lex, what now? Ella hid by a low wall with Hepburn in her arms, her bright eyes secretly looking out, her face full of smoke and dust full of worry.
On the street, groups of Nazis armed with submachine guns were escorting a group of ragged people, including old people, women, and children. Their destination was Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, and the famous name of Auschwitz concentration camp had not yet been announced, and everyone only had a slight resistance on their faces, and there was not much fear.
They didn't know that what awaited them was a bloody death, but Zhang Xuan knew. Zhang Xuan wanted to save these people, but looking at the heavily armed Nazis on the street, Zhang Xuan could only give up this unrealistic idea.
Zhang Xuan's face was embarrassed, and his mind was racing, this small Danish city was full of Nazis, arresting people everywhere, and it was very dangerous to continue to stay in the city. Although the genocide of Mustache was mainly against Jews, in fact, as long as it was a non-Aryan race, Mustache was exterminated, and if he remained in the city, he might be arrested by the Nazis.
After several days of running, the little angel Hepburn was already exhausted and fell asleep shallowly. As soon as he stopped, Hepburn immediately woke up, rubbing his misty eyes and asking suspiciously, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "There is no way to leave now, we need to find a place to hide!" ”
& In just a few days, Hepburn has become seriously dependent on Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan is whatever he says, and he will not object at all.
There was no way to hide in the city, so Zhang Xuan took Hepburn's mother and daughter to avoid the Nazis along the way, escaped from the city, and hid in the dense mountains and forests outside the city.
Denmark is located in northern Europe, the climate is cold, although it is only September, but the temperature at night is already below freezing, and the cold wind in the mountains and forests is even colder. Even if the three of them found a cave to live in, they were still shivering from the cold.
Seeing Hepburn sneeze again, his upturned nose was bruised and bruised, and he cleared his nose, Zhang Xuan finally couldn't help it, and stood up with a distressed face: "I can't care so much, let's build a fire!" Zhang Xuan was worried that the fire would attract the Nazis at first, so he never lit a fire, but now he has no choice, he can't watch Hepburn get frozen!
> Wait for me! Zhang Xuan confessed and ran out of the cave quickly. As soon as I got out of the cave, my mind was transmitted, and I reappeared in the small town under the mountain.
Zhang Xuan has zero experience in surviving in the wild, and he has no ability to drill wood to make fire, so he can only go to the small town to "borrow" the fire, it would be better if he could find some hot food by the way, and after a few days of traveling, the three of them have not eaten a hot meal.
Fortunately, it was only nightfall, and many families had just had dinner, and Zhang Xuan was lucky to find a lot of food, such as a single slice of sandwich covered with a thick layer of butter, beef and vegetables on black bread, and a large plate full of roast pork with red leaf cabbage. After leaving a few dollars, Zhang Xuan unceremoniously rolled up the food and took away a few thick leather coats along the way.
Back in the cave, Zhang Xuan put his leather coat on Ella, who was trembling in his arms, and put down the food in his hand casually: "You eat something first, I'll go find some dry firewood and raise the fire." ”
& Thank you, Alex! Ella tightened the leather coat on her body, turned her head to look at Zhang Xuan, and looked grateful, "If it weren't for you, we would only be afraid of ......."
& I'm ashamed that if it weren't for me, Madame and Hepburn wouldn't have suffered like this. Looking at the groggy Hepburn, Zhang Xuan began to wonder whether his trip to Europe was right or wrong.
Without you, we would have been arrested in a Nazi concentration camp by now! "Ella is very sober and very smart, although she has been sleeping in the open all the way, but compared to continuing to stay in the German-occupied area and be in danger of her life at any time, this pain is nothing at all. To Zhang Xuan, Ella is grateful.
Zhang Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, turned his head and ran out of the cave, and came back a moment later, holding a large bundle of dead branches and rotten trees in his arms.
After the fire was lit, there was finally a trace of heat in the cold cave, Hepburn's little face regained a little blood, and he slowly woke up with his eyes rubbed: "It's so warm!" ”
& Ben, this one for you! Zhang Xuan took out an aluminum lunch box from his arms, opened it and saw that it was full of pasta and steaming. Zhang Xuan knew that Hepburn was particularly fond of pasta, and Zhang Xuan searched for a long time in the small town before finding such a portion in the kitchen of a Nazi officer.
Hepburn immediately jumped out of Ella's arms when he saw it, couldn't wait to take the lunch box, picked up the pasta with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't care about any ladylike demeanor, staggered and ate very happily.
&>Delicacy, forgot how I taught you? Looking at Hepburn's extremely unladylike appearance, Ella on the side looked at Zhang Xuan with an embarrassed face, and reprimanded him in a low voice.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to comfort: "Madam, Hepburn is still a child, so don't be too strict." Moreover, it's really hurt her these days, so forget it! ”
Ella sighed, touched Hepburn's long and smooth hair with a look of pity, and let Hepburn suffer with him, and Ella felt uncomfortable. It's just that Hepburn's next words made Ella feel a feeling of being a woman.
Seeing that his mother didn't blame him, Hepburn grinned at Zhang Xuan and said very proudly: "Thank you, brother, it's still my brother who is the best for me!" ”
After a while, Hepburn ate all the pasta in a lunch box, wiped the meat sauce from the corner of his mouth, and Hepburn touched his slightly swollen stomach, looking satisfied.
After enjoying the perfect meal, in the warm cave, the three of them chatted and fell asleep.
The fire in the mountains and forests soon attracted the attention of the Nazis in the city below, but fortunately, because the Danish night was so cold that even the disciplined German soldiers did not want to come out, and they nested in warm rooms one by one, thinking that they would wait for the sun to come out the next day.
Because of the laziness of the Nazis, Zhang Xuan and the three were spared.
The next day, when Zhang Xuan woke up, he remembered that he had slept directly without warning last night, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly woke up in his heart: "You must pay attention in the future, last night was lucky, no one found it, and it may not be so lucky next time!" ”
