Edward's words almost made Lird breathe, he looked at Edward in shock, if he didn't know the real situation last night, Edward would not have been able to get close to Qianrou's big tent, he would have suspected that Edward had spied on him.

Edward looked Lird up and down with red eyes, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "That doesn't matter, it's good that you can come back." ”

At this time, Lird fell into a deep embarrassment, and for a while he didn't know what to say to Edward, so he only glared and then whispered: "Don't talk nonsense all the time. ”

Edward only grinned at this, and said nothing else, which made Lird feel even more ashamed, and immediately changed the subject: "The danger has been lifted, at least it is safe now." ”

Edward snorted, "When I don't leave this land, it's never safe. With that, he walked to the tent window, looked through the gap above, and then nodded, "Some of the nails have indeed been removed, but my little falcon has not returned." ”

At this time, Lird had already returned to bed again, and the night's "madness" made Liard's body a little tired, after all, he was also experiencing wind and rain for the first time, and he was also unwell.

Just as he closed his eyes, Edward approached and said to Liard, "Young Master, what step are you going to take next?"

Lird didn't open his eyes, but replied indifferently: "I don't have any plans, let's take one step at a time..."

Edward pursed his lips and said, "It's not a good idea to sit back and wait for death, if there is another scene like yesterday, I guess we won't be so lucky." ”

Lird said: "Don't worry, everything is about to be clear, and I believe that it will not be long before we will return to the United States." ”

Edward's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he asked, "When will it be?"

Lird couldn't stand Edward's constant questioning, and finally said, "Tonight, everything should have a final answer." ”

"Tonight," Edward muttered, then shook his head with a smile, "I've had a fulfilling day since I've been here." ”

Edward no longer disturbed Lird's rest, and the two continued their long day in the tent.

In the evening, Lird finally awoke from his deep slumber, only to find Edward lying heavily armed not far from him, his gun less than two inches from his fingers, apparently on first level security even at rest.

Just then, a young girl in a white robe brought water and food to Lird and Edward, and after they left, Edward also got up and ate with Lird.

Edward chewed the food in his mouth as he looked out the window, and whispered to the dim sky, "Tonight must be a cloudy day." ”

Lird was speechless, he also felt the strangeness of the sky tonight, perhaps the heavens had realized that something would happen against the heavens.

Edward suddenly said to Lird: "Young Master, we have been out of the world for such a long time, and we have been cut off from the outside world for a long time, what do you think of the momentum of the battle outside?"

Lird thought for a moment and said: "No matter how much the German army looked at it before, it still encountered such a strong opponent as the Soviet Union after all, and now that the United States has entered the war, I believe that the defeat of the German army is a matter of the near future." ”

Edward laughed: "Is it possible that when we leave here, the war has ended, Hitler's side has been completely defeated and surrendered, and when we return to America, the streets are full of flowers and songs singing the praises of the end of the war?"

Lird smiled and said, "Perhaps, as the saying goes, there is only one day in the mountains, and there have been ten thousand years in the world." ”

Edward said: "The young master is really a scholar, and the words that come out are indeed very philosophical. After that, Edward took a sip of the water glass and said: "This is really a crazy era, endless wars, constant competition for interests, all kinds of weapons, haha, after Watt improved the steam engine, would he have thought that his approach would not only make this world develop rapidly, but also make this world more crazy?"

Lird nodded and said, "The human heart is beyond Watt's control, and I'm afraid even Jesus is powerless when facing the human heart." ”

Edward stared at Lird and suddenly said, "Although the world is crazy, I think what we are doing now is the craziest. ”

Hearing this, Lird suddenly stopped his movements, and looked at Edward hesitantly, Edward smiled: "I know you have doubts, and I am not a temptation, there are things that I don't need to worry about and anxiety, as long as the time is ripe, won't the truth be revealed?"

The corners of Lird's mouth hooked upward, and then nodded.

Edward let out a long exhale and said, "No matter, no matter. Anyway, I'm also a bad life, everything is left to fate, but the young master, you are the first to look forward. ”

Lird said: "I can't say that, I still have to rely on your protection." ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a hunch that what I will face next is definitely not something I can solve with a knife and a gun, and this chaotic situation is not destined to end by me." ”

Lird didn't say much, he only knew that Edward's hunch was quite accurate.

Lird smiled, then changed the subject: "What kind of life do you want to live when you return to the United States? Stop! Let's not say that you have to go to the bar and get drunk and then go to a woman to be happy, you can't live like that forever, and no one can live like that forever." ”

Edward pouted, "Indeed, this kind of life may have only suited me when I was younger, and now I am indeed old. My physical strength is declining, and many things are starting to fail, and although I have been living a life of drunkenness and dreams, I have also thought about these problems. ”

"I've seen a lot from this trip to India, and I'm going to take a longer break when I come back to the U.S., or I might as well retire from it. Although I don't have much savings, I can buy a spacious apartment, and then find a hard-working woman to spend the rest of my life. As for the profession... Haha, I can buy newspapers like Barton did when he was alive, or try to contribute to newspapers, although my writing is very average, but the experience over the years is absolutely wonderful, and I am sure that many people will enjoy reading it. ”

Lird laughed: "It's a very good idea. ”

Edward laughed and said, "What kind of ideal is this, this is just a compromise with the world when people reach middle age, and we losers are knocked to the head under various iron laws, and finally choose to give in." ”

"I think that true ideals can only be embodied in children, although those ideals are often unreliable, but that kind of wild ideas are the most primitive and pure ideals of human beings. ”

Lird looked at Edward who was talking eloquently, and at this time he found Edward particularly interesting.

"And what were your childhood ideals?" asked Lird with a smile as he asked Edward.

Edward was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Don't talk about that kind of thing." ”

But Lird insisted on his own thoughts, urging Edward: "It's not a shame to talk about it. ”

Edward scratched his head, and then said, "When I was a child, life was miserable, so sometimes I always fantasized about having a land that was completely my own. There is no king, no president, no one who can control me and order me in this land. ”

Lird laughed, "Anarchism, it looks like you want to be an island owner." ”

Edward smiled, "Sort of, but aren't the islands also controlled by the surrounding regimes? This place was not created by God, but by me, and I am the master of this land, the god here. I will enjoy the great peace and beauty of this land with my relatives, and I will not participate in any strife in this world, but I will enjoy my own life that is not very long, nothing more..."

At this time, Edward was no longer the cold and cruel killer, he was like a romantic poet, expounding his romantic and wonderful dreams.

Lird listened a little dumbfounded, and when Edward smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it stupid for me to think about this?" It was then that Lird suddenly came to his senses.

Lird smiled and said, "No, what you think is very good, really." After a pause, Lird said, "Maybe your dream will not be realized at the moment, but I believe that one day it will be realized, because it is indeed a beautiful vision." ”

Edward smiled, "I hope so, although I can't enjoy that kind of life, but I am satisfied to think that future generations can live it." ”

"Don't think so, although we can't create a continent in the Pacific Ocean, it's okay to buy a warm home in the United States," said Lird with a smile. ”

Edward nodded and said to Lird seriously, "Thank you, young master. ”

Liard smiled lightly, "You deserve better." ”

In the midst of this relatively mild moment, there was a knock on the tent door, and Lird and Edward looked at each other, and then they both smiled silently. The warm moment just now was really too short, and after that short period of vanity, the two of them still had to face an extremely cruel reality.

Lird answered the invitation to enter, and then the tents were pushed open, but Qianrou walked in.

Qianrou's arrival surprised Lird and Edward, and they all stood up at the moment.

Qian Rou smiled faintly at the two, and then said, "It seems that I didn't come by coincidence enough to disturb your dinner." ”

Edward smiled, "Didn't bother anything, we've finished eating, we're just chatting." ”

Qianju: "Oh, so what's the topic?"

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm talking about childhood dreams." ”

The smile on Qianrou's face became a little thicker when she heard this, and she immediately said: "This topic sounds very interesting, I really don't know what you men were thinking about when you were young?

Edward said: "A man's dream is often more romantic than a woman's, and it doesn't have to be an official or a knight. And Caesar, at least in my eyes, is not much of a hero. ”

Qianrou nodded and said, "If it weren't for the estrangement created between us, we would most likely become good friends." ”

Edward smiled lightly and said lightly, "My pleasure." ”

Lird listened to the words of the two, and he knew that in this seemingly peaceful conversation, there were temptations and shocks hidden in the actual mountain.

Lird didn't want to interfere too much in this, but fortunately, both Qianrou and Edward stopped at the right time.

So the right to speak shifted to Lird.

Lird said to Qianrou, "Is everything ready?" Qianrou nodded.

Learder turned to Edward and said, "You have a good rest, I'll do some things." ”

Edward looked at Qianrou on the side, then looked at Lird, and finally only nodded slightly.

Just as Lird was about to leave with Qianrou, Qianrou suddenly said, "Actually, I'm not here today to pick you up. After that, Qianrou looked at Edward and said, "If you can, I also very much hope that Edward you can come with me." ”

Qianrou's words made Lird and Edward stunned, and the two of them quickly glanced at each other, but neither Qianrou had any intentions.

Edward looked at Qianju, "Is this asking for my opinion?"

Qianrou nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Edward smiled, "I'm a little flattered by the invitation to the sacrifice. ”

Qianjudo: "Although what we have done is significant, it will not get you to that level. ”

Edward said, "Do you trust me?"

Qian Ju said: "I trust Liard. ”

Qianrou's words are very straightforward and honest, it seems that there is nothing but it can't help but make Liard's heart move, men and women who have experienced skin-to-skin kissing are difficult to get along with their previous psychological state.

Edward nodded, "Very well, it seems that we have at least one thing in common." ”

However, Lird disagreed, and took a step towards Qianrou and said, "This matter is not good, I am against Edward's participation in this matter." ”

Qianrou turned her head to look at Lierde and said, "Why?"

Lird said in a deep voice, "He shouldn't be involved in this matter. ”

Qian Rou said indifferently: "When he decided to follow you from the Bombay dock to this big one, he was already involved in the whole incident. I understand your concerns, but that's not really the deciding factor. After that, Qianrou looked at Edward and said, "Would you like to come?"

Edward laughed, "Yes, why not?"

"Good. Qianrou said calmly.

"You!" Lird glared at Edward, wanting to reprimand him, but Edward smiled at him first, "Young Master, you don't have to say anything. It was my own decision. I can foresee the gravity of tonight's incident, otherwise the priest would not have entrusted me with the most untrusted outsider. ”
