I asked, "How old is your boyfriend?"

"Just celebrated my 18th birthday," she said.

I said, "Huh?! To be a battalion commander at such a young age? ”

"Because of the strength problem, the current government says that men have to serve after the age of 14 and then go to war at the age of 16," she said. There are many baby officers like him. I remember him saying that there was a lieutenant general who was only 25 years old! ”

I exclaimed, "Huh? Too young, right? Is the invading country well stocked? Isn't it possible that our soldiers are all child soldiers, and they are all strong men. ”

She said: "The invading country is similar to ours, and it also forcibly recruits teenagers into the army."

I said, "Well, what kind of war is this?" The invading country is also brain-dead. ”

She said, "yes, it would be nice to have no war." My dad is a civilian who died in the war, and my mom is in Borata, and this time I not only want to get married, but also bring my mother back. ”

I said, "That's right."

"It would be nice to have no war," she said. When the war is over, I'm going to give him a lot of babies, and we live in a house by the sea, and I talk to my mother, and he takes care of the children and tidies up the house, and I want to laugh just thinking about his funny looks. ”

I don't know why, but there is a sudden decline in my heart. I think it's just a fantasy, a fantasy that's too beautiful to be realistic. But I could see that she needed this happiness so much, and I didn't splash her cold water.

I asked, "Your boyfriend is so young, how old are you?"

She seemed to suddenly become arrogant: "Hey! It's rude to ask a girl's age. ”

I said, "Uh...... That's when I didn't say it. Is it because you're older than him? ”

She said, "you."

I said, "Huh." Either way, I wish you a successful marriage and happiness. ”

She said, "Thank you."

After a few chats with the woman, I fell asleep.

It's another night's sleep. When I woke up and saw a decent view outside the window, I couldn't help but walk to the terrace behind the last carriage. Hand on the railing, blowing the wind. There is an inexplicable happiness. It's the first time it's so easy.

Mentch poured surprisingly did not come. He was still munching on the tough bread sold on the train.

I went "crazy" alone for an hour and went back like this. Mench was still nibbling on bread. Ban sat quietly in his seat and looked out the window, but I am sure he would never see it.

Three days of boredom passed.

The last day on the train. As always, I walked to the terrace of the last carriage. This time it wasn't as comfortable as the previous ones. The air was filled with the suffocating smell of gunsmoke. I see, we are one step away from war.

At dusk, we got off the train. I asked Mench, "Where do I go now?"

Mench said, "Find a hotel to stay in."

The train station was crowded with people trying to escape the war. It's very rare for someone like us to get off the bus.

We found a place to stay not far from the city center. When I was almost asleep at night, I looked at the night sky. The night sky here is different from the night sky of the city we lived in before. There is not a single star to be seen here. We live in a city where you can see at least one or two.

People on the streets are carrying luggage. The shop was locked, and we had a hard time finding this open hotel. There is a lot of garbage scattered on the road.

Everything about this city doesn't make me feel good.

Early the next morning, the three of us were woken up by the sound of air raid sirens. We hurried out of the room. On the first floor, the shopkeeper pointed to a hole under the counter and shouted for us to enter, which was a bomb shelter.

After we entered the bomb shelter, the shopkeeper skillfully closed all six doors. The sound of bombardment outside was deafening. There was the sound of missiles falling and exploding, and there was also the sound of anti-aircraft guns firing. The bomb shelter also shook a few times from time to time. I've never seen this scene before, and it seems overwhelming.

After more than two hours, the bombing ended. We climbed out of this bomb shelter, which was more than 10 meters deep and poorly ventilated. When I came out, I saw several trucks on the streets picking up rubbish from the bombing, such as rubble, missile fragments and corpses.

Not long after, the police station drove out into the street and told the citizens to quickly hide in the mountains.

I asked Mench, "What now?" Going to the mountains? ”

"If you don't go, you stay on the edge of the city," Mench said.

This practice is purely seeking death. But I looked at Ban Yan's silent expression, and I had no choice but to agree.

We walked to the edge of the city.

After walking for an hour, I happened to see a barracks in front of me. Mench told us to stop, and walked back for a long time to find a courtyard where no one was around.

I felt a little strange. The soldiers in that barracks felt very little, and I looked at it for a long time without seeing any movement there.

After lunch, I saw a woman appear on the way to the barracks. After taking a closer look, it happened to be the young woman I met on the train who was looking for a boyfriend on the battlefield.

She walked to the barracks door and talked to the doorman, who then let her in.

It didn't take long for her to come out. I thought she would have an extra ring on her left hand when she came out, but it turned out to be just an extra letter. I ran out of the yard to call her.

She came with me to the courtyard and sat down. I asked her, "Hasn't your boyfriend proposed to you yet?"

She said: "Not yet, I'm late, his troops have already left." Only this letter remains. ”

I don't have to guess that it must be the last letter that a soldier wrote to his family when he went to the battlefield and treated death as home.

I asked again, "Since your boyfriend's battalion has gone to war, what is that barracks for?" Regiment headquarters? ”

"No," she said, "that's the reserve arsenal."

I said, "Oooh."

Mench asked her, "How long has your boyfriend's troop been going?"

She said, "Just ten hours after departure."

Mench said, "Ten hours."

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Mench said, "Nothing."

Suddenly, I felt a noticeable tremor on the ground. It was supposed to be caused by the shock of the explosion of the shell falling in the distance. It seems that the fight has begun.

I'm starting to get nervous, and there's a good chance I'll die here this time.

Menqi asked her, "It seems that it has started now, you should go and hide for a while."

She said, "No, it's here."

Mench asked, "Why?"

"Wait here for my boyfriend," she said, "or he'll run away again." Also, why are you here? ”

I hurriedly rushed before Mench and said, "Uh...... We were supposed to pick up relatives, but we were blown up in the morning and we felt ...... There is nothing to do...... That's why we're here, and if we are needed on the battlefield, we're going to deliver ammunition or something...... So be it. ”

She said, "Hey! This is no joke, and there is a good chance that you will die. ”

I said, "Uh...... It's okay, our family is almost dead anyway, and it's not interesting to live. ”

She said, "Okay then."

My words and actions have put us in even greater danger.
