Chapter 1288: Child
"Do you want to investigate?" Since the enemy has no retreat and no second way to go, the only possibility is to hide, avoiding the search of NATO fighters, I think it is necessary to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy army, otherwise it will be like a blind man to wait like this.
"It's too far away from us, just wait and see!" I understand what the captain meant, if the enemy wants to reinforce Misrata, it is necessary to pass through this road, and it is the best option to wait for the rabbits, and besides, we cannot fight the enemy's armored forces without minefields.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, I slowly moved my body, sat up from the ground, and lay on my stomach all night, my whole body muscles were wooden, I was unconscious and did not obey the call, and I slowly moved my limbs against the rock, and then gradually recovered.
The plane that had been bombed all night finally stopped, and I didn't fly over my head for a long time, and I couldn't hear the roar and felt that something was missing, I took out the compressed biscuits from my pocket, and swallowed them into my stomach little by little like a paste with water, and turned my head to look at the monkey, who was sleeping next to me.
"Hey, it's dawn, it's time to get up." I picked up a pebble and threw it at it, hitting it on my helmet impartially.
The monkey woke up like a nightmare, jumped up, instantly loaded his gun, assumed an offensive posture, and shouted: "Where is the enemy, where is the enemy!" ”
Seeing that he almost made me laugh to death like that, he sat on the ground and said, "Don't be nervous, the enemy hasn't come yet!" ”
"Then you shout Mao, Lao Tzu is sleeping soundly!" The monkey rolled his eyes.
"You've slept all night, get up and be alert, Lao Tzu will sleep too!" After saying that, I ate a pack of biscuits, poured two sips of water, and then held the gun and prepared to squint for a while to recuperate my spirits, I estimate that in broad daylight, the enemy will not choose this time to march.
I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep when suddenly a urge to urinate hit me, I took a deep breath and stood up, looked around, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
"Where are you going?" The monkey asked from behind.
"Pee!" I walked forward without looking back, and went up to the top of the hill and walked a few steps behind, and there was a stone on the hillside, so I stood behind and took advantage of it.
After finishing the process, I fastened my trouser belt, turned around and was just about to go back, when suddenly I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye, my whole body was shocked, I raised my pistol with a brush, pointed to that position, and shouted: "Don't move, raise your hand, hear it, let me see your hand!" ”
It was only then that I could see clearly that the child standing on the hillside was a child of about seven or eight years old, who was already frightened at this time, his whole body stiffened in place, his hands were raised high, his eyes were staring at me, I couldn't see what kind of eyes it was, innocent, fearful, desperate, I never knew, it turned out that the child's eyes were so complicated.
My fingers were firmly on the trigger, and I tried to pull it down several times, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't kill a child like this, and I knew that if I killed him, that look would haunt me like a nightmare.
At this moment, another figure rushed over, "Don't move, I'll shoot if I take a step forward." I raised my gun and threatened loudly, but the fellow rushed to the boy as if he couldn't hear him, and he was firmly behind him, and then I saw that it was an old man, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and his beard had turned white.
"Assassin, what's the matter?" Hearing the sound from this side, the monkey rushed straight over.
"It's okay, just two herdsmen!" I waved his hand to signal him not to be nervous.
"How do you know it's a herder?" The monkey carried a gun around the old man and the young man, and the muzzle of the gun never left the two of them, the monkey was not as sentimental as me, as long as they made the slightest move, he would definitely shoot the two of them.
"Don't you see a flock of sheep on the hillside over there?" I pointed down the hill, where a dozen goats were taking a leisurely walk in a field of grass.
"So what?" The monkey raised his hand and was about to shoot, our position must not be exposed, everyone who saw it would die, and it would be better to kill the wrong one than let it go.
I involuntarily reached out and pressed the monkey who was about to shoot, and said quietly, "He's still a child." ”
"Now is not the time for your compassion to overflow, if you can't bear it, turn your head!" The monkey shook off my hand with all his might, and was about to shoot the old and the young.
Seeing the old man clinging to the child, I intervened again to stop the monkey.
"Assassin, do you know what the hell you're doing?" The monkey stared at me with a frown.
"Don't be nervous, relax, let the captain decide, I'll obey the order!" I knew I shouldn't be left alive, but I really couldn't do it, and I needed more reasons to convince myself.
"Captain, I'm an assassin, I caught a child herding sheep, and an old man, please instruct!" I don't know what the captain will choose, but I'll accept whatever the outcome.
"Do you need to ask me about this kind of thing? Kill! The captain said categorically and without hesitation.
"Got it!" I sighed and turned my head to look at the monkey, who smirked and then looked cold.
"Wait a minute!" Just as I was about to do it, Pandora's voice suddenly came, and I felt a hint of joy in my heart.
"Assassins, have you confirmed their identities?" Pandora asked.
Before I could reply, the captain's deep voice rang out, "There is no need to confirm at this time, all creatures that want to approach us will have to die." ”
"That's just a child, we're soldiers, not brutes." The captain of Pandora's words was speechless.
"Two leaders, what should I do?" There was silence for a moment, and the two of them were silent, and I couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Confirm their identity, if it's really civilians, let them go!" Pandora sighed, and the captain didn't refute it, although everyone thought that killing them was the safest thing to do, but no one wanted to attack a child, don't look at the monkey so determined, he just did what he had to do again, in fact, his heart was full of struggles.
"Understood!" I said yes and turned my head to look at the monkey, who shrugged his shoulders in frustration, and at this time, the striker not far from us also rushed over.
The striker and I stepped forward, and the monkey kept pointing a gun at the two of us on the side to prevent accidents.
After inquiry, it was learned that the two lived in a village a few kilometers away from the mountain, without any weapons on their bodies, no bullet marks and scars, and calluses on their palms, which should have been caused by work, but there were no calluses on the first section of the index finger and the tiger's mouth, indicating that they had never played with guns.
I looked at the striker, grabbed the old man's clothes, and said viciously: "Listen, don't tell anyone about meeting us here, or I'll slaughter your village and kill everyone, and leave no one behind, understand?" ”
The old man didn't dare to speak, just nodded with fear on his face, and then pulled the child to leave.
"Take care of your child, don't let him talk too much!" Before I finished speaking, the old man had already run away with the child in his arms, as if I was afraid that I would regret it.
