Waldette smiled and didn't ask me to help, but said, "If you just ask about those people in NATO, or about the gangs who are doing evil, I can tell you." But if you want to ask about us, I can't tell you. ”

I nodded and said, "Of course." You don't have to say that, and I won't ask you about you. ”

At that moment, a burst of gunfire rang out. The gunfire was not coming from behind us, but in front of us, or rather from the north.

"I think we'd better pick up the pace and move quickly. When you are safe, you can talk to this Albanian friend of yours. Yugovich, who was walking ahead, looked back.

So we stopped talking, focused all our attention on what was happening under our feet and around us, and quickened our way towards the road that Waldette had spoken of. But on the road, gunshots rang out from time to time. These are not coming from one place, some of them sound like a firefight, and even you and I are quite lively when you come and go, but more often than a few scattered gunshots, bursts of clouds and rain like summer.

We walked for almost half a day on a ten-kilometer mountain road. As they approached the road, the terrain began to slowly descend, and when the road was faintly visible, Yugovic motioned for everyone to stop.

I admired Waldette's physical strength and perseverance, I knew very well how difficult it was to walk, and I realized it even more when I carried myself on my back. But although Waldette was very tired all the way, he never said anything. When the old guy said to stop, Waldette's muscles were already stiff, and he couldn't control the movement of slowly lowering his companion.

I put down my gun and backpack and went over to help him move his companion down. Yugovic looked at a road below us, "You guys wait here for a while. I'll take a look. With that, he picked up his gun and walked down.

I glanced at Waldett, "Do you know each other here?" If you don't find the village quickly, you'll have to spend the night with him on the side of the road. ”

Waldette looked at the sky and didn't answer my question, but took a sip of water and said, "The Earl is probably the helper called by the NATO gang." ”

"Why? What good can those people in NATO give him? Is it to coerce the Count to act together? I asked.

"Huh." Waldette laughed at me, not only him, but also his companion. Waldette looked at me and said, "You can say that it shows that you haven't lied before, at least because you haven't been here for a long time. Waldette said, gesturing in the direction of the border, "The Count is the real snake here. At first, he was from the People's Liberation Army, but now it seems that he is just taking the opportunity of the chaos in the world to make a fortune for the king. His men were all good men, and many of them had fought many battles with the Serbs. The Kosovo Liberation Army was disbanded, and many people followed the count. There are also people he hires who also have a lot of practical experience. He relied on these people to control almost all the shady business in the area. You say those people in NATO coerce him? Of course, I admit that the people in NATO are very powerful, but if you want to move the count, you will have to pay a lot of price. But what if you do business with the earl? That's easier. As far as I know, these NATO mercenaries are not clean, and they are also learning from the bandits to do some business. As he spoke, he pointed at Vurić and said, "Even these Serbs are the same, and some of them are not much worse than the Count." ”

"Who do you say is unbearable?" Vurich stood up and glared at Waldette and spoke.

I quickly waved my hand at him, "Calm down." He didn't say anything about Ivanovich again. ”

Waldette smiled and continued to sit on the ground, saying, "You're talking about those Serbs who have gone deep into us?" That's not them. Really bad people are shrewd and not that stupid. ”

"You're stupid! Damn the Albanians. As he spoke, Vurich was about to raise his gun, but I raised his muzzle high and said, "That's enough." Lao Tzu didn't come here to listen to you scolding each other, I came here to fight. But now the enemy is not anyone who is here here, it's the NATO, how many times will this be repeated with me? Ivanovich did not die at the hands of ethnic Albanians, he died at the hands of NATO pursuers, and I should have made this very clear. Even if you have a grudge, can you talk about it later? In this fight, it's really a bunch of idiots. ”

I watched as Vulich slowly calmed down and threw his gun away, "If you have this passion, you should save it for a while and use it when you are in a hurry." This is still in Kosovo, and it is difficult to say what will happen to us later. ”

I looked back at Waldette and said, "Who among them is such a person?" ”

Waldette looked at me, "You'll know. I won't say that the Serbs will have to shoot me again. ”

I glanced at Waldette, and he didn't say it explicitly, but judging from what he said before that people who came in here were idiots, it wouldn't be Ivanovic or Petkovic, and Dravic wouldn't be, the old guy said they were a bunch of hot-blooded young people. Kostic will not be even less so. Then the answer can only be between the two who were attacked by the Count, and the one who was Kirchiman.

After a while, Yugovich ran back, he looked around, and we said, "It doesn't look safe on the road. There were traces of people passing by in the past two days on the road, some weapons with discarded ammunition and damaged weapons, and dry blood stains in some places on the ground. ”

"Can you tell who left it?" I asked.

Yugovich shook his head, "I don't know. No bodies were seen in the vicinity, and there were no visible signs of firefighting. This area should not be a place of engagement, most of them are passing by here, and the direction is north. ”

"This road leads to the border, and I think it's mostly our people. Otherwise, no one would have gone north with the wounded. I looked at Waldette and said, "Are any of you going down this road?" ”

Waldette shook his head, "Our men are all chasing the Serbs until the NATO guys show up." ”

I looked at Yugovic, "How are we going to go?" ”

The old fellow pointed the way, "Follow the road, of course." But I think it's better not to go on the road, the goal is too obvious, and I can't guarantee that there will be no NATO people on the road. ”

"It's walking in the woods, using the road as a guide." After I finished speaking, Yugovic nodded and said that it was it.

I looked at Waldette and said, "What are you going to do?" Continue with us for a while, or will we go our separate ways here? ”

Waldette looked outside and said, "I guess I'll have to walk with you for a while." There shouldn't be much around here that I can go. ”

"In that case." I said and looked at Yugovich, "Shall we rest and eat all the food we have taken from the NATOs and then move on?" ”

Yugovic sat down, "Just do as you say." Even if the NATO people chase me, I'll have to rest for a while. Did you know? I have a cot that creaks as soon as I lay down, and I wanted to throw it away several times, but I miss it so much now. ”

"Then we'll have a good rest. Then keep going. As I sat down, I pulled out the food from my backpack and tossed it to Waldett.
