Chapter 50: Andrew's Secret
I don't know why the first reaction was that Guy's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, which was really unacceptable for a while, and I don't know what kind of stimulus made this bad guy sentimental. So the problem is that it appears on that parchment, and I know that what is written on it is definitely not a good thing.
As the night wore on, and it was time to rest, I went outside to fetch a bucket of cold water and wet my palms to gently pat my bruised legs, which made me feel better.
Andrew, this guy, has been chattering since the lecture, after dinner (I have to say that this dinner is not the same stove as the things I usually eat, such a big bowl of meat, my shabby stomach is a little uncomfortable!) The bread was coated with honey, and compared with the original mercenary troops, it was only then that we knew who was the biological one! Andrew didn't know where to go, so he simply made a cold compress, and I couldn't help but shudder, and quickly put on my clothes, saying that it was strange, it was time to go to bed, and I still didn't see any trace of Andrew.
Could it be that the guy was afraid of losing his hard-won industry, so he couldn't run away overnight with the strength to eat and be full? No, I'll have to find out!
Thinking like this, I still brought my sword for the sake of safety, and I forgot to say it, I decided to bow to the evil forces and accepted the sword given to me by Levi's second ancestor, hehe, no way, that thing is so beautiful!
Saying that the camp was closed, and I didn't see the barbarians open the camp gate again after they left, could it be said that they had run over the wall, and I looked at the wall made of tall and sharpened wood with a puzzled look. No! Andrew couldn't be so flexible!
Then the question of his escape has already been concluded, that is, he did not run, such a big and small camp, where can I find him? I came in the darkness along the road to the pile of stones where Guy had lectured during the day, and through the moonlight I could dimly see a figure sitting on the pile of stones, where he was motionless. Because the night was too dark, I wasn't sure if the shadow was Andrew, if it was a wild ghost? If I go forward so recklessly, will I snatch my soul away! There is no way to do this, if you have seen too many killings, your psychology will be more or less weakened.
"Andrew?"
I tentatively called out to him, but he didn't respond.
"Andrew?"
I raised my voice an octave, and even drew my sword, so that if the ghost suddenly pounced, I could give him some color!
"If I don't say yes, will you just stab me?"
It was Andrew's voice, it seemed that he was fine, and now I was relieved, and I didn't think much about it, put my sword into the sheath, and slowly came to his side.
"What's wrong?" I patted him on the shoulder, "Could it be that the chief centurion brings back memories you don't want to talk about?" ”
"Alas!"
Andrew let out a long sigh in the night, then he shook his head and said, "It's good to have amnesia, isn't it, Luga?" ”
"Amnesia?"
I was stunned and didn't know what Andrew meant by that.
"Don't feel it yet? Luga. Andrew seemed to know something, "I'll just say, it's good to have amnesia." ”
"Andrew," I said, puzzled, "you're fooling me!" ”
"Don't you hear anything from Guy's tone today?" Andrew turned his head, and in the darkness I knew by the feeling that he was staring at me: "Don't you realize how similar his words are to those of our chief centurion to us when we were on our way to Nar!" ”
"You mean, we're going to face war?"
"Hah, that's going to be a real big fight! Hehehehehe......" Andrew hung his head, pinching his throat and letting out a laugh that looked like self-defeating.
"Andrew!" I put my hand on his shoulder and said to him, "I know you're still thinking about the land you've worked so hard for. But Andrew, this is not what you told me about the glory! ”
"No, you don't understand, Luga!" Andrew just shook his head: "You don't understand the importance of land and a comfortable life to me!" Have you ever thought of Tenaia? Although it seems that you don't like her that much. ”
The mention of Tenaia flashed in my mind of the treacherous little woman who had lived a peaceful life far away in Genoa. She reminded me of the embarrassment of being caught in a trap by her calculations, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Idiot, what are you laughing at?"
"No, I just suddenly felt how could I be so stupid, I was the only one who was deceived by such an idiot of this girl, although I don't know when I made a promise to marry her, but on the whole, this guy is hateful but still has a lot of happy memories."
"Ha, Luga, I'll just say, you're still attracted to her!" Andrew said with a smile on the side.
"Hey, what? Heart? ”
I hurriedly covered it up, at this time I had no idea what was going on in my mind, and not thinking about her for a while was a strong proof that I didn't have feelings for her. But why does this explanation always feel that the language is so pale?
I thought of Xiaoya again, the girl who broke my heart, and although I am now separated from her by more than ten centuries, I still know that she exists, but not now, but in my dreams. It's just that every time I dream of her, a thin veil is covered on my adoring face, and I dare not touch her cheeks to brush off the fine veil for her, for fear of leaving a terrible scar on her fair skin again.
This reminds me of what the ancient Roman poet Ovid once said: There is a god living in everyone's heart. Maybe Xiaoya is the fairy in my heart, but you can watch it from a distance and don't play with it.
"What about you? Andrew. After reminiscing, I didn't forget to ask him again: "What is it that makes you so afraid, not when you were besieging the city!" ”
"Loss," Andrew said, "I'm afraid of losing the people around me again, everything I've gained, and the love of my heart." You know, Luga, I'm not afraid of wild dogs! ”
"Not afraid of wild dogs?"
It reminded me of the pitiful way he had when I first saw him on the battlefield, swinging his iron sword in an attempt to threaten the wild dogs that were approaching him. At this time, he said that he was not afraid of wild dogs.
Andrew was silent for a long time before he said to me, "Luga, actually, I actually hide something from you, I have a wife. As he spoke, he took out a golden ring from his bosom, and although the light was dim in all directions, I could see the golden light of the ring in the reflection of the moonlight.
"I gave up all my wealth to build for my wife, and there are two of them." Andrew said, staring blankly at the ring, "One in her hand, one in mine, you can't imagine that she cried when she saw the ring, but it was still so beautiful!" ”
"So you're afraid of death for this?"
"No, it's not just that." Andrew shook his head, "I can't die because we don't have the money, I don't have the ability to feed her, I have to get the land, so I can only join the army." Andrew put the ring away and continued, "I joined the army, so my wife gets a share of the land, she can farm, she can support herself and her children......" As he spoke, Andrew laughed out loud, just like me just now.
"Andrew," I said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "You're heartbeat!" ”
