The man in front of us cried for a while, as if to vent some of the grief that had accumulated in his heart, the man finally began to gradually return to his previous appearance, although there were still tears under his eyes, but the tone of his voice was calm.

"To tell you the truth, as you said, I was once a soldier who led our whole family to be proud. I used to serve in a special operations group directly under a certain army department, and I'm sorry, because of secrecy, I can't tell you the number of my former unit now. The man looked up and said with a long sigh.

We looked at him and nodded to him, we could understand.

"I used to be an excellent soldier, and I also became a squad leader in the company, so I can say that although I may not have much breakthrough in my future development in the army, I think it should not be too bad, at least I can stay in the army until my service expires." As he spoke, the man looked out the window, as if he had begun to fall into a past that he himself regretted.

"During a military exercise, our company was ordered to cross a certain mountain and forest area and attack directly into the heart of the blue army, you know, if our whole company acted together, it would definitely be because the target was too big, which would lead to the bankruptcy of our operation, so we broke it up into pieces and carried out armed infiltration in squads. As I was taking my class on a journey from the edge of a small mountain village, I saw something that I will never forget. The man said this, and his eyes gradually changed from the original loss to a little anger.

None of the three of us spoke, and the man continued to reminisce about his past: "I saw a strong man in his forties raping a child in the grass who was at most fifteen or sixteen years old! This is a beast! In order not to affect the overall operation, I asked the deputy squad leader to continue to advance towards the heart of the blue army with the ten fighters in the squad, and I ran towards the brute myself. Even though I had run in front of the brute, he still had no intention of stopping, and I immediately pointed my gun at him, and shouted at him. As a result, the brute stood up in a hurry, walked straight towards me, put it directly on the muzzle of my gun, and scolded me loudly: 'You little dog, you didn't see the labor-management doing business, you don't have long eyes, right, come, come, there is a kind of shooting and killing labor-management!' As you know, we used empty cartridges in the exercise, but at close range, empty cartridges are also lethal. I looked at the child who was still crying on the ground, my heart was filled with anger at once, where did I still have any sense, although I didn't shoot directly, a gun butt hit his head, smashed him to the ground, looking at his face covered with blood, my heart finally had a little light, and I also regained a little sanity, and then I was ready to cover the child on the ground, at this time, the beast that I knocked down seemed to go crazy, and got up from the ground, Grabbing a rock, he threw it at me, and reflexively, my gun was almost pressed against him. ”

Hearing this, the three of us more or less understand that the name of the empty cartridge is different from the live ammunition, and the biggest feature of the empty cartridge is that there is no lethal warhead, and the whole empty cartridge is composed of a primer, firing gunpowder, a shell and a warhead made of special materials, and the lethal power is much lower than that of the live ammunition. Warheads made of special materials refer to warheads made of paper fiber, wood, plastic, etc., for example, some empty shells will be compressed with low-density polyethylene plastic to make warheads, which will disintegrate and shatter soon after being discharged to avoid causing damage.

But empty cartridges are not as harmless to humans and animals as imagined, and they can still kill at close range! Whether it is a closed empty cartridge or an empty cartridge with a warhead, at the moment of firing, the gunpowder fired in the empty cartridge burns and expands, because the mouth is closed, the pressure increases sharply, and finally reaches the zero boundary point, the gunpowder flow carries some metal debris in the cartridge case from the muzzle at high temperature and high speed rushed out, like a miniature volcanic eruption, but due to the resistance of the air and the irregular movement of the gunpowder flow, at most no more than ten meters, this heat flow loses its lethality, but within ten meters it will still hurt people or even kill people.

The three of us glanced at each other, although we all guessed the result, but we still didn't speak, and continued to wait for the man to continue: "I know that empty cartridges can kill people, but, at that time, I really subconsciously shot the bullet, and the bullet entered the body of the beast before it could melt, looking at the blood flowing from his chest, I admit that I panicked at the time, but at that moment I didn't turn around and run, I also knew that if I ran away at that time, It was quite possible that this would not have turned out to be the way it was, but instead I chose to wrap the child on the ground in my own clothes and walk towards the village. ”

The three of us sighed in unison when we listened to the man's words, and Lao Pang also took out a cigarette case from his pocket, first lit a cigarette and handed it to the man, then handed a cigarette to the two of us, and finally lit it for himself.

The man took the cigarette, took a hard puff, and then continued: "I wanted to send that child back and then go back to see that beast, but who knows, just as I sent that child to my house, a large group of ordinary people with messy things in their hands came outside, and they directly surrounded me, saying that I was a murderer and killed people!" I knew then that it must have been the beast's death. Later, the police from the police station also came, contacted our chief, and took me away. Although there are also many ordinary people who plead with me, saying that the beast deserves it, and usually does evil in this area, saying that I am doing harm for the people or something, but I know in my heart that I have killed someone, no matter whether I have killed a good person or a bad person, in short, I have killed someone. ”

Speaking of which, there was no regret or regret in the man's eyes and tone, but a few of us couldn't continue to be calm, and scolded directly: "Groove! This kind of scum is damn bad! Brother, you're doing the right thing! If it is labor, labor and management will kill him! ”

"Grass damn it! Brother, labor admires you! Damn it, brute! What happened next. I listened with a wave of anger in my heart, but I was more concerned about what happened to the man in front of me.

"What else, I killed someone, this is an established fact, and I never thought about defending myself for anything, that child has long been scared stupid, and people have become stupid, after knowing the condition of that child, I am even more determined that I have no regrets about killing this beast! Although many villagers pleaded for me, and even wrote joint letters, and my comrades-in-arms and cadres in the army also proved it for me, but the murder is a fact! Later, I was sentenced, expelled from the army, and served for several years in prison, and I was just released at the end of the year. The man said that he was not shocked, but the few of us who listened to it were full of turmoil in our hearts, gritting our teeth one by one, and the anger in our hearts was already burning.

However, as an outsider, we naturally know that he is right, killing is killing, no matter what the reason is, killing is the truth, the only difference is how to judge! It's just that we all feel sorry for the man in front of us, because a brute lost his great prospects for development in the army, lost his military status, and became a criminal.

"After I was released, there was almost no place willing to use a murderer as an employee, but unfortunately, my family also fell seriously ill at this time, and almost all the relatives in the family broke off their relationship after my accident, and they all hated to know me, there was no way, I could only ......" The man said here, all the shame in his eyes was shame.

"What the hell! Trough! Trough! Trough! Dunxiang erupted directly when he heard this, scolded a few times, attracted almost the eyes of the people in the front and rear carriages, and then said to me and Lao Pang: "I don't care what you two say, I can't stand it anyway." As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his body, took out all the red tickets, and then stuffed them into the hand of the man in front of him: "Brother, I respect you as a man, this money is not much, but it is a meaning, you take it, save the emergency first, what the hell!" Trough! With that, Dunxiang turned around and left, without giving the man any more chance to speak.

Lao Pang and I glanced at each other, in fact, Dunxiang's actions were the same as the two of us thought, so he also took out his wallet from his body, took out all the red tickets and handed them to the man in front of him, "Brother, you take this money, maybe our help is only insignificant, but, let's take the emergency first, and, in the future, don't steal again, I know, on you, the honor of the soldier is still ......there" After I finished talking to Lao Pang, I patted him on the shoulder, Then he turned away and walked to our own seats.

The moment I turned around, I could clearly hear the man crying again, but although my heart ached, there was nothing I could do......

With an indescribable feeling, there was no sleepiness on the rest of the journey, and we all fell silent, just when the train had just passed through a tunnel, Dunxiang suddenly shouted loudly in the dark: "! ”

A sentence of "it!" I and Lao Pang suddenly briefly separated from this indescribable feeling: "What's wrong! ”

"Labor and management have given him all the money, and there are dozens of dollars left in his pocket, and labor and management are planning to buy something in the city now!" Dunxiang said as if he had suddenly realized.

"you! Scare Lao Tzu! ”
