"I thought we were going to be eaten by crocodiles. Juliet patted her full chest, looked at the crocodiles attracted by the smell of blood on the raft, and said with a sigh of relief. At this time, she seems to have forgotten the pain just now and has become an innocent girl. The joy of the rest of life after the catastrophe can indeed easily dilute the tragic experience just now.

I don't want to interrupt this good short time, but I have to be responsible for our journey.

I pointed to her lower body: "You should deal with it there, otherwise it is easy to get inflamed." She took out the anti-inflammatory medicine she was carrying in her bag and gave her an anti-inflammatory injection according to her weight.

My words once again caused her grief, and seeing that I plunged the needle into her arm without mercy, she couldn't help asking, "Do you think I'm cheap?"

I looked up at her, and this time, instead of running away in a panic, she stubbornly met my eyes. I wasn't going to answer her boring question, but she asked again, "Do you think I'm so cheap that I can sleep with a lot of men?"

After smashing the glass bottle and burying it in the soil, and listening carefully to the nearby movements, I raised my head and said to her slowly: "I don't think so, in fact, I also came to this land for the first time, I think this is a place forgotten by God, full of violence and killing, annihilating humanity, it is not easy to live in this land, but you choose to live strongly." ”

If she hadn't told me that she was going to send her little daughter to a brothel, I wouldn't have been stingy with my praise, especially in this case, which would have motivated her to keep going.

"What can I do? I can't die, I can only let Mesa and Tussaud hide and keep silent, I take my own way to take off my clothes to cater to them, put away my self-esteem and put on various poses for them to violate me. She finally broke down, and big tears burst out of her eyes, from small whimpering to wailing.

I didn't stop her, and in moments like this, maybe crying could vent all the sadness in her heart.

"Let's go, we still have a long way to go. These pasts are simply insignificant compared to the bright future that is just around the way. Her mood gradually stabilized, and she looked at me with great gratitude, nodded lightly, and said thank you.

"Do you know where these three people came from? I got this thing from them. "I handed over an iron badge, hoping to get some news from her.

Her eyes were confused at the sight of the two-faced snake insignia, as if in thought, and then she nodded vigorously at me. Like an elementary school student who wants to answer a teacher's question, he has the proud appearance of getting the answer after thinking about it.

"This is a mercenary in the war zone, I don't remember the name, only this two-faced snake. But no, I remember that their uniform costume was a masked cloth shirt. ”

As soon as she said it, I knew that these people were mercenaries belonging to the Arab world, and it was very likely that they killed the mercenaries of the double-faced snake and seized the badge.

If that's the case, then there's a good chance that we won't encounter a large number of well-armed mercenaries again.

We just walked and stopped. Sure enough, as I expected, on the way, I encountered two small groups of mercenaries, both of whom were three-legged cats with guns and did not even have a guard formation, and deserted during the battle, and met me and was sent to see God.

The absence of a radio station proves that these people are not out on a mission at all. It's shameful to abandon your comrades, so there's no psychological burden to kill them, and I won't even salute them, because they're just a bunch of garbage that has no credibility and courage to destroy humanity.

The grabbed GPS drains power very quickly in such a desolate place, but fortunately I have a strong sense of direction, Juliet remembers the road, and we were lucky enough to grab two large-displacement off-road vehicles. It's just that after driving a few hundred kilometers, I have to start walking again because I ran out of gas.

On the seventeenth day, Juliet, who was slowly walking in front, suddenly let out a burst of cheers.

"Guinea's borders! Great landmark!"

It is a stone landmark that has been almost completely buried in grass and loess, and the red paint on it has faded badly, and only the words Guinea written in French and the longitude and latitude of the landmark's location can be faintly seen.

Seeing my solemn expression, Juliet asked softly with some nervousness, "What's the matter, have you noticed any problems?" For Juliet, she has seen the happiness that is close at hand, and now any little accident and change is a burden that she cannot bear in her life.

I crouched down, picked up a piece of charred dirt, put it in front of my nose and sniffed it.

"There was shelling here, probably in about half a month. If it weren't for the rainy season, the grass here wouldn't be able to hide these traces at all. ”

There are no clear boundaries on the borders of the African plains, and in fact, apart from the actual borders of the important cities, the rest of the country is often just a sentry post that can be unimpeded by a little dollar.

"Now how do we go? The shelling happened at least half a month ago, so don't worry too much. ”

Hearing my words, Juliet began to get excited again, as if my guess was an accurate prediction.

"This is the 247 landmark section, and if you go further to 287, you will definitely see the government army camp of Guinea, and we must reach the town where the army camp of Guinea is stationed before dark. ”

This young woman, who had suffered countless setbacks, actually learned from me, and smiled at me playfully, and her nerves, which had been tense, were relaxed by her appearance.

"Don't worry, it's all safe and secure around here, and there won't be any more damn mercenaries. As for the shelling, I think it should be a drill or something. Walking forward, and finding no strange traces, Juliet regained her previous excitement and confidence. They began to laugh and play with the two girls in a familiar way, and the roadside wildflowers that bloomed with the rainy season became their picking objects. The little milk dogs kept running and barking, and if I hadn't known about their tragic backgrounds, I would have thought that they lived in a happy and peaceful country, and had never suffered hardships.

In a matter of moments, she weaved a wreath for herself, which matched the camouflage-waterproof camouflage on my face.

Looking at her excited appearance, I couldn't help but sigh at the fate of people. If I hadn't been caught up in this earth-shattering power struggle, I would have lived happily as an emperor in Hainan, China, and bragged and fought with my best friend every day. But now, I am here trying to live every day, and those innocent lives are too far away from me. And Juliet, who was supposed to be such an innocent girl, unfortunately, she seemed to have a lot more pain in her heart than I did. Educated at home, fate is fair. It's funny to think about it now, it's just an excuse made up by people with ulterior motives in the book to forget the pain for a while, just like religion always talks about the practice of this life as a blessing for the next life. If fate is really fair, neither she nor I should suffer a miserable life in this land that does not match our age.

After dark, we finally arrived at Dassault, a small border town in Guinea.

It was a town whose name could not be found on the map at all, with a garrison of less than one hundred and fifty men. Juliet swept away her previous cowardice, and walked over to negotiate with the armed army officers on duty. Although they don't shoot like mercenaries, that doesn't mean they're good. Without distinguishing between friend and foe, they will also use very violent means against any suspicious target.

My child and I hid at a distance, and the sniper rifle was quickly assembled again. The T-line in the scope rises and falls with the breath, locking on to the person closest to Juliet.

By lip synching, I was sure they weren't speaking English.

The other soldier had not long since left, and when he returned, he gave Juliet a standard military salute. This gesture made my heart in my stomach at once, it seems that Juliet is telling the truth, her lover does have an important position in the Guinean military, and most importantly, he has not abandoned her.

"What language do you speak to them? is it French?" I asked, curiously as I put my bag on the bed and looked at the soldiers who walked out.

"Yes, I speak French to them, which was once occupied by the French, and the common languages are still French and English, and the official language is French. ”

Picking up a roast chicken thigh, Juliet and the two children tore and bit very unfiguratively, as if in this way, they could vent the depression that had been suppressed in her heart. Pooh, the little milk dog, also barked and jumped happily at their feet, this little thing was very clever, and could feel the sadness and joy of the owner. Two little girls took chicken breasts and stuffed them into their mouths as they ran around the square table. On the table are a variety of meats and a bottle of rum. Although it was only a guest house in the border barracks, Juliet was treated very highly, which is enough to prove that her husband was a high-ranking figure in the military.

Since her husband died in the war-torn zone, she has been hiding in Tibet with her two children every day, living a precarious life. Moreover, with her husband's bondage, she had no chance to come to her lover at all, and those tempting wonderful days were just around the corner, but she could not enjoy them. After her husband died, she would not have been able to reach Guinea if she hadn't met me. Even if she marched this way with her two children, she would most likely end up being captured by the mercenaries and tortured inhumanely.

When she was at the end of her rope, God suddenly opened a gap in heaven for her.
