Chapter 1187 Looking for Help
Anya cherishes the days she can spend alone with Malashenko. This peace and beauty is just like a world in a dream. Even if this beauty may end at any time due to an accident, Anya doesn't care about it. What's important is to cherish the present and the happiness in front of her. Doing these is enough for Anya.
With this little girl by her side, she takes care of her daily diet and daily life and checks her wounds and changes her dressings. This kind of day that only requires quiet rest is very rare for Malashenko, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable. Malashenko, who is used to fighting all day, feels that he seems to be incompatible with all this tranquility.
Even when he calms down and sits on the hospital bed and looks at the green leaves outside the window, Malashenko's thoughts will unconsciously fly to the distant front line, to imagine how the current Political Commissar Petrov is doing? What is Lavrinenko doing? Is the reconstruction of the troops going smoothly, etc.
Malashenko, who is bored in every way, feels that he is about to get sick!
In this era of material scarcity, lying in bed all day long can do nothing. Apart from listening to the damn radio, there is nothing left but sleeping, or being a nerd with thick books. Malashenko, who really wants a mobile phone to play with but doesn't have one, realizes that he has to find something to do.
The sun rises as usual on a new morning. Iushkin, who has filled his stomach in the hospital cafeteria, also made a box of porridge for Malashenko. While humming a little song, he strolled into Malashenko's ward like a "spirited young man". His only task these days is to chat with the driver and relieve his worries.
"What do you want to talk about today? Comrade driver, how about we find a literary classic to study?"
Watching Iushkin slowly pour the porridge into the lunch box for himself, Malashenko, staring at the steaming hot steam, suddenly spoke softly.
"I have something to ask of you, Iushkin."
"Ah? What is it?"
Being stunned by Malashenko's sudden question, Iushkin, who blinked his eyes while holding a lunch box, looked a little naive, and this was definitely not fake.
"Help me find a man in Moscow, his name is..."
Bang——
Before Malashenko finished speaking, the wooden door of the ward was once again pushed open without even knocking, and a big man in military uniform rushed in from the corridor outside the door, and our old comrade Ma was stunned on the bed.
"It's okay, no need to look for him, he's here.
Before Malashenko finished speaking, the man who rushed into the ward took off his military cap and put it aside, and walked up to him without saying a word and sat down on the bed.
"It's a miracle! You were shot in the stomach on the battlefield and you can still make it to Moscow alive! Will anyone believe this if you tell others? I'm afraid not? ”
Honestly, even Malashenko himself felt that this matter was quite outrageous, but who told him that he survived and did not die? Anyway, he was still alive, which was enough. It would be a waste of time to dwell on why he did not die.
"From what you said, do you want me to die under the gun of the Germans?"
"Hahaha, how could that be? On the contrary, you, I remember that you are a person who is very good at joking. When did you become so rigid? ”
Due to the needs of his special work, Colonel Malokov rarely shows his "friendly" side on weekdays.
Malokoff himself believes that this will give those evil elements lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to plot to subvert and destroy the motherland an opportunity to take advantage of it. The popular impression he shows must be an image of steel that can use thundering means. Only in this way can he be qualified.
But every time he is with Malashenko, Colonel Malokov always has an inexplicable feeling lingering in his heart. It's as if as long as his own people sit here, they will immediately enter a state of talking about everything. It seems that there are endless interesting things and common languages to talk about, and he wants to chat with Malashenko, who he hasn't seen for a long time, for a whole day.
"You came at the right time, Malokov. I was just planning to let my gunner go to find you, so that he doesn't have to drive another trip. After all, your place is really a bit scary. "
The joke made Malokov, who was beside the bed, slowly shake his head and smile, but his facial expression did not mind at all. After all, what Malashenko said was true from a certain perspective.
"Well, then tell me, what on earth do you, a tank colonel who is a Soviet hero, want to see me about?"
As soon as Malokov finished speaking, Malashenko, who did not give a direct answer, tilted his head back and drank the last mouthful of porridge in the lunch box on the table. While wiping his mouth, he handed the empty lunch box to Iushkin and said.
"Go wash the lunch box, Iushkin. It will stick after a long time. Remember to wash the lid as well."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away. "
Iushkin, who did not notice anything unusual or wrong, followed Malashenko's order, took the lunch box, packed it up, and turned around to leave.
When the door of the ward was closed, Malokov, who had been watching every detail of Iushkin since the beginning, turned his head and spoke slowly to Malashenko in a rather intriguing way.
"The people under you are so simple, Malashenko. I guarantee based on my working experience since joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he had no doubts or hesitations about your order just now. From the beginning to the end, he thought that he was just washing lunch boxes. You have good sense in choosing your right-hand man.”
Malashenko just found an easy excuse to temporarily put away Iushkin, so that there were only two people left in the ward and it was easier to talk. But he didn't expect that Malokov could use the topic to his advantage. See all these ways.
"The people around me are basically the purest soldiers. They are simple, kind, love their motherland and are willing to sacrifice everything for it. They are full of trust in their closest comrades. Iushkin is such a person. Of course. I’m not saying anything bad about you or implying anything, I just want to explain the issue based on the facts, so please don’t make random guesses.”
Malashenko is the purest soldier under the sun, while Malokov plays the guardian of the motherland in the shadows.
The huge differences in each other's identities will cause some innate gaps, but fortunately, two people who understand each other can bridge this gap and get closer to each other, which is of course enough to entrust trust.
"I'm looking for you this time to ask you for a favor. How much do you know about the small arms department in Moscow?"
