XXXV. Sad killer boar
My curiosity was completely aroused by him: "Are you Superman?" ”
The white-haired man's face became more vivid: "If a soldier can stay on the battlefield for more than ten years and survive, and his body is still relatively intact, then he must be particularly sensitive to danger." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I asked, "You've been on the battlefield for more than a decade?" ”
He squinted and seemed to recall: "At first, he started fighting with the rank of sergeant, and later retired with the rank of captain and became a mercenary. I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, but also Georgia and Ukraine, Myanmar. ”
Hehe, I sincerely admire, "Your experience is really rich." ”
He seemed to be saying to me, and he seemed to be saying to himself: "In the battle after battle, the comrades around me kept falling. Many of them were veterans who had developed a sensitivity to danger after years of war, but still fell. But I survived time and time again, and it made me realize that I had an extraordinary sense of danger, can you believe it? ”
I nodded, of course I believe, I am also more sensitive to danger than ordinary people, but I have trained it, he is born alien.
He continued, "Therefore I thought that I was the darling of God, that I considered my strongest warrior, and that God would always be with me. But I forgot that everybody is going to be judged eventually. I have killed so many people and ruined so many people's happy lives, and I will definitely be punished by God. ”
Oh, God? Hehe, I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He slowly took out his wallet, and in his wallet was a picture of three children, the eldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, a very thin boy with a sickly face, the younger one was a girl about ten years old, and the youngest was about two or three years old, being held by a girl.
I asked him, "Your child?" ”
He nodded, "Vincent has leukemia, and it costs a lot of money to treat it. My stock was losing a lot, and the bank collapse wiped out our savings. In order to save Vincent and Sally, Sally and I had another Anthony, and we managed to scrape together the cost of a bone marrow transplant. However, the operation was not successful. Sully had always feared that I would die on the battlefield one day, and that little insurance payout would not be enough to treat Vincent and feed his children. She started taking drugs and one day she overdosed and left us. I had to quit my position as a mercenary to come back and take care of the children. I've been on the battlefield all the time, I can't do anything but kill, and if I'm not a mercenary, I don't have an income. Luckily, Branson was introduced, he offered a high salary and bonuses, the task was not dangerous, and I was able to take care of my children without having to go out to work. ”
I said, "You're a good father." ”
He shook his head, "No, I can't guarantee that they will grow up safely, I'm not a good father." Branson wasn't a good thing, but I was horrified when I heard the news of his injury and didn't know what would happen in the future. It's unlikely that Branson will survive, and I'll probably never find such a suitable job again. Even if he doesn't get killed this time, someone will continue to want his life. I had secretly observed those people and knew how strong they were, so I was ready to die before I came to the hospital. Especially when you show up. ”
I'm skeptical, "Am I that strong?" Are you mistaken? ”
"I don't know, but you're making me feel a serious threat."
I remembered his extremely sad aura and asked, "Are you sad and want to die because you are worried that your child will not grow up?" ”
He rubbed his two big hands together, "yes, you know what, I gave Vincent a gun." Every time I went out to work, I would tell him that if I didn't hear from me the next day, he would kill his younger siblings and kill himself. ”
This frightened me: "How can you do this? Isn't it okay for your children to grow up in welfare institutions? ”
He pouted and smiled, "Now that even government departments often stop operating, wouldn't welfare institutions be better?" I grew up in a welfare institution as a child, so my family was very important to me. What sustained me from death again and again was my family. I've seen so many orphans end up that I can't tolerate my own children being like that. If God curses me, let God take everything I have, and don't torture me like this. ”
After saying this, he smiled lightly: "It's really good to be able to talk to a person of the same kind." I feel so much lighter. Thank you. If it weren't for you, I felt like I was going to kill myself. I'm not going to show mercy when it comes to doing it, though. ”
I wasn't going to do it, so I smiled and said, "Me too." But I'm not going to do it here, don't worry. ”
Since he has concerns, maybe I can win him over, such a strong warrior is rare, at least let him remain neutral, right?
Two doctors and a few nurses came out of the operating room, and the family immediately stood up hopefully and ran away happily after receiving the doctor's reply that the operation had been successful. So there were only four people left in the corridor here, and the atmosphere was very weird.
After a short silence, I said, "I don't think money alone will solve your problem." You need a collective that you can trust, that people can help each other, that you can entrust your children. ”
He looked at me like a fool again, "There are so few such collectives, and it is difficult for even comrades-in-arms to do what you say." ”
I took out the pen I had with me, tore off a notebook, and wrote down my phone number: "I started a company with a friend. If you come to work, you won't get as much money as you would for Branson, but you should be able to live on your family. My friends and I are both Chinese, and Chinese Americans value family and friends the most. Call me if you need it. Think of your children, they are innocent and cannot be deprived of their lives because of your mistakes. ”
He glanced at the phone number, hesitated for a moment to put it in his pocket, and then reached out "Thanks, you're a nice guy." My name is Lewis. Groves, nicknamed the Wild Boar. ”
Damn, nicknamed "Wild Boar"? I thought he was a lion, but it looks like I'm out of the way?
I reached out and shook his hand and walked to the elevator. Out of the hospital, I called the sheriff and met them at another fast-food restaurant. They asked, "How?" ”
I asked for a beer" found. We also chatted for a while. ”
Jordan was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped on the table, "What?" You talked to him for a while? ”
I leaned back in my chair and sipped a beer, "yes." He's a great guy, and I think it's more likely that he'll kill me if I'm right, so I decided to talk to him. Luckily, he also has an interest in talking. Now I know that he has three children on his mind, so I extended an invitation to him to join our company. ”
At this point, I remembered Lewis's words and asked, "Do you know how much life insurance is for mercenaries now?" Is it low? ”
The sheriff made a sad face, "yes, it's much lower than it was ten years ago." More and more veterans are becoming mercenaries when they can't find work, and the price of mercenaries naturally decreases. But the price has been reduced, and there is still no shortage of people to do, and it is better to be a mercenary who can always earn money as long as he lives, than to slowly decay without a job and die of drugs. If it weren't for the fact that mercenaries have little money, Chunjuan'er and Bull would have gone to be mercenaries that year. ”
