Chapter 116: Cruel Reality (2)
Lu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, and after a while, the woman in his arms couldn't help but raise her left hand, patted Lu Yuan's arm weakly, and then closed her eyes with a hint of tenderness in the corners of her eyes, silently absorbing that faint warmth. Looking at the life in his arms that would be shattered at the slightest touch, Lu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't bear to close his eyes, and secretly completely covered the sparkling water vapor in his eyes. Then, Lu Yuan took the woman into his arms again, pressed his chin against the woman's forehead, and exhaled softly, lest he wake up the sleeping angel in his arms.
The woman, who had been badly wounded, fell asleep forever, and the gods abandoned her forever. Xie Jinbiao and the others were still standing dumbfounded, looking at Lu Yuan's quiet and peaceful back, an irrepressible sadness suddenly surged out of Lu Yuan's body, and suddenly, Xie Jinbiao's eyes were already full of tears. He suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment and wiped the tears that flowed down his face, but the steady stream of tears could not be stopped.
The faint loneliness hidden in Lu Yuan's body was as vast and turbulent as the sky falling apart, and it instantly hit the softness in Xie Jinbiao's heart, almost forcing him to breathe. In fact, not only Xie Jinbiao, but also Lieutenant Sun, who had returned in a hurry but had been standing in the crowd, also projected his gaze deeply on Lu Yuan's figure at this moment. Now Lu Yuan looked as if he had just been fished out of a pool of blood, with a strong smell of blood all over his body, and the blood stains and stains on his cheeks almost made it impossible to distinguish the lines of his facial features, and he could only vaguely see those deep eyes.
The dim light slowly rippled in Lu Yuan's eyes, dazed, confused, sad, and indifferent, so quiet that it was comparable to the silence of the night, but it was like a black hole absorbing the warmth of the sun, and quietly, but a huge energy burst out of the stormy waves, violently, cruelly, and directly hitting the hearts of Xie Jinbiao and others. Lieutenant Sun doesn't like Lu Yuan, there is no reason, he just doesn't like Lu Yuan's strong self-confidence and calm calmness, shouldn't a fledgling rookie be a man with his tail between his legs?
But now he can't deny that at this moment, at this wonderful moment, the momentum that bursts out of Lu Yuan's body is beyond his own calculation. Lieutenant Sun can continue to deny it, he can deceive everyone, but he can't deceive himself. Raising their heads and looking at the other people around them, almost all of them held their breath, looking at Lu Yuan in front of them intently, seriously, and devotedly, no one made any sound, lest the sound of their breathing would destroy the peace of this moment.
The woman in his arms was out of breath, but Lu Yuan was still kneeling in place, sitting in place in a daze, dazed, as if time had completely stopped on his shoulder. "Ten minutes, I mean, we'll get out of here in ten minutes." Lieutenant Sun, surnamed Sun, pretended to be calm, stretched out his hand to rub his slightly sour nose, and was almost out of control, he turned around in a panic and fled.
Xie Jinbiao walked up quickly, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only take his steps lightly and squat down behind Lu Yuan. Looking at Lu Yuan's slightly stiff back and a lonely side face, Xie Jinbiao's heart couldn't help but feel sad. “…… It's time for us to go, the brethren are ready. After hesitating, Xie Jinbiao began to speak, but he just called out, and the weight of the words overwhelmed him.
Hearing Xie Jinbiao's voice, Lu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, and the quiet mood seemed to be broken in an instant, and the debris all over the ground was shocking, "Oh...... yes, it's time for us to go. Lu Yuan seemed to come back to his senses quickly, and a warm smile appeared on his face again, "How about it, the things are still enough, right?" ”
"Enough, there seems to be a surplus." Regarding Lu Yuan's normality, Xie Jinbiao was a little uncomfortable, thought about it, and asked after considering his words, "You ...... Are you okay? ”
"Huh." A smile rose slightly from the corner of his mouth, "Good, I'm fine." Lu Yuan nodded and replied, but Xie Jinbiao did not give up, and looked at Lu Yuan intently, those huge eyes almost made Lu Yuan have nowhere to escape, which made him a little helpless, and he also knew that his reaction just now was a little abnormal.
"I was just thinking about something." Lu Yuan paused, lowered his eyelids slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, "What is the war for?" What does faith really mean? At the end of life, on the other side of death, is there really nothing? And also...... In the midst of countless lies, how should we find the truth, at least our own truth? Lu Yuan's gradually lowered words grabbed Xie Jinbiao's throat, and he didn't know how to answer.
Xie Jinbiao couldn't answer Lu Yuan's question, so he couldn't stop wandering away from his gaze, and finally could only land on the face of the woman in Lu Yuan's arms. At this time, the woman who had been silent was lying in Lu Yuan's arms, so helpless and hesitant, but the expression on her face at the moment was quiet and calm, and Xie Jinbiao even saw a trace of satisfaction in it. But this also made a sudden anger rise in his heart, wishing that he could immediately find the Japanese soldiers who hurt this woman, and then tear them apart one by one.
The killing intent that suddenly burst out from Xie Jinbiao's body could not be concealed, but Lu Yuan didn't care about it, and looked down at the woman in his arms again, Lu Yuan tilted the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. "You go in peace, I promise you, I will definitely avenge you, I promise." Lu Yuan whispered to the woman who was no longer silent in his arms, and then as carefully as if he was holding a fragile object, he gently picked up the woman in his arms, walked slowly to the wooden bed in the corner of the house, and put the woman on the bed.
No one spoke, everyone was looking at Lu Yuan, and so was Xie Jinbiao, including Lu Yuan's promise to the woman's corpse, to their ears, it didn't seem to be anything, but it was just to kill a few Japanese soldiers, and Lu Yuan didn't need to make a move at all, but they could do it. Placing the woman's body on the wooden bed, Lu Yuan, who was covered in blood, finally turned around, but the prisoners of war standing in the outhouse and courtyard took a step back in unison, because Lu Yuan at this moment was like a powder keg, a powder keg that would burst without knowing when.
Although Lu Yuan was already very careful to hide the turmoil in his heart, and had already put the woman in his arms on the wooden bed, when he turned around, he still uncontrollably remembered the baby just now and the woman behind him. The war is cruel, but the civilians are innocent, Lu Yuan actually knows that the accidental injury of civilians in the war is unavoidable, but he absolutely cannot bear the Japanese army's rivalry to reach out to the civilians.
Lu Yuan, who turned around, took two steps forward, and then Xie Jinbiao and the others were stunned, suddenly turned around and knelt down on the wooden bed where the woman was lying. "No, what are you going to do?" In Xie Jinbiao's low shout, Lu Yuan suddenly pulled out the short knife on his waist and cut a bloody mark on the palm of his left hand. Xie Jinbiao stepped forward and snatched the short knife in Lu Yuan's hand, but it was already a little late, and Lu Yuan's left hand was already drenched in blood at the moment.
Ignoring Xie Jinbiao's snatching of his short knife, Lu Yuan just dipped the index and middle fingers of his right hand into the plasma in his left hand and smeared a few blood marks on his face. "I swear with my own blood that I will definitely make the Japanese pay for this, and I ask you to watch it carefully, and watch me kill the Japanese to avenge you." The blood marks on Lu Yuan's face were like the graffiti of a naughty boy, but it made Lu Yuan's face a little more murderous and angry out of thin air, and those originally quiet eyes were full of anger at the moment.
Xie Jinbiao was stunned, he didn't expect that Lu Yuan used a short knife to cut his palm in order to make a blood oath. In the grasslands of the north, there are some ethnic minorities who will swear a blood oath with their own blood before fighting, this oath has a sacred meaning among those grassland peoples, Xie Jinbiao doesn't know how Lu Yuan knows the blood oath, but he knows that Lu Yuan, who can make a blood oath against a corpse, is definitely not a person who is idle and has nothing to do.
There was silence for a moment again, and without waiting for Xie Jinbiao to urge, Lu Yuan, who was kneeling in front of the wooden bed, got up and got up, ignoring the still bleeding left hand, just took back his short knife from Xie Jinbiao's hand and inserted it back into his waist, and then strode out of the house. "It's time for us to go, maybe it's time for the Japanese side to change the guard, if they find that you are all missing, they will definitely search and pursue." Lu Yuan, who was standing in the courtyard, began to sort out the rifles and equipment on his body, and after taking the German-style steel helmet handed by the prisoner of war soldier next to him and putting it on his head, Lu Yuan turned around and said to Xie Jinbiao, who was still a little unable to come back to his senses for a while.
Walking out of the house, the expression on Lu Yuan's face was calm, but Xie Jinbiao saw the monstrous anger in Lu Yuan's eyes, in Xie Jinbiao's opinion, once the deliberately suppressed anger broke out, it would be able to burn everything. Xie Jinbiao didn't speak, just nodded at Lu Yuan, and then followed Lu Yuan out of the courtyard, and the prisoner of war soldiers waiting in the courtyard silently followed behind Xie Jinbiao.
The lieutenant officer surnamed Sun had already distributed the weapons, ammunition and materials that had been moved out of the cellar, not only everyone had a share, but also had a slight surplus, and when he saw Lu Yuan and the others coming out of the courtyard, the officer surnamed Sun was overjoyed. "Let's go, I'll go ahead and explore the way, we're moving north this time, try not to make a noise after we set off." Without much communication, just nodding at the officer surnamed Sun, Lu Yuan continued to walk in the front, and was the first to walk towards the exit of the alley.
