Only after you have actually killed someone can you truly understand what killing is, both physically and psychologically.

In that life, I killed people. Ended a person's life with his own hands. So, I know what it means to kill. Know where it's terrible and where it's wrong. I'm not blindly against killing.

The day passed quickly. It was always calm near our hidden cave. It was as calm as if the war had never happened. I couldn't help but feel like I was dreaming, as if it was just a long nightmare, and when I woke up, I could see that everything was still as normal.

At dusk, the atmosphere is tense. Because we found that there was an enemy horse team under the cliff. They were patrolling very close to the entrance of the cave.

We waited with bated breath that they would leave without discovering anything. However, they didn't.

They stopped below us. They dismounted and sat down in the shade of the trees to rest. The sound of their conversation is clearly audible.

If it weren't for the shade of the trees blocking their view, they would have looked up and could have found the hole in our hiding place at any moment.

They bring out food and water, and they eat.

We hope they'll get back on their horses and leave after they've eaten. However, they still didn't.

When the soldiers had finished eating, some of them went to lie down in the shade of the trees, and they seemed to be ready to take a nap below.

The situation became dangerous, and if they all lay down like this, all their eyes would be on the cliff. There is a good chance that they will find the hole where we are hiding. Therefore, they must not be allowed to lie down and sleep. The soldiers who Fu Tianliang left behind to protect me quickly discussed. More than 10 of them were divided into three groups. The two groups sneak out of the cave and make a little noise in the vicinity to lure the enemy away.

They left two men in the cave to protect me. This kind of protection is actually meaningless, if we are discovered, the two of us will not be able to protect me at all, all they can do is to resist the enemy for a short time, so that I have a good chance to kill myself.

One of these two people was Wen Gao, who spoke to me several times.

When the soldiers left, the three of us waited in the cave.

As more and more of the enemies have begun to sleep, we no longer dare to stick our heads out of the cave to look around.

We waited in the depths of the cave: either the enemies below left, or they roared and rushed in.

The verdict of life or death is at the bottom of the cliff.

Wen Gao sat across from me, and he kept looking at me.

His gaze made me very uncomfortable. His mind was racing with thoughts. But I don't know what he was thinking.

The other brother watched intently at the entrance of the cave, listening for any sound coming from that direction.

I quietly put my hands behind my back. I quietly fastened the Sleeve Arrow you gave me, and I carefully hid it in my sleeve.

It could hold two arrows. I had already figured out that the moment the enemy rushed into the cave, I would shoot one arrow at the enemy and the other at my own temple.

After I made up my mind, my heart gradually settled down. What is there to be anxious about, what is there to fear? Anyway, the ending is not this way, it is that way, it always has an end.

I closed my eyes and waited.

After I don't know how long, I opened my eyes, and the light in the cave was already dim, and I couldn't see the faces of the other two people clearly.

At this time, we heard a commotion under the cliff, a man talking, and the sound of horses' hooves. Wen Gao stood up, and he cautiously reached the entrance of the cave, and under the cover of the dim light, he surveyed the situation outside. After a while, he came back and said, "They're leaving." ”

The sounds below range from sporadic to noisy to sparse to silent. They're gone.

Night fell. The cave had become very dark. Those two groups still haven't returned.

After waiting a little longer, Wen Gao and the brother went to the entrance of the cave again to observe carefully for a while, and after making sure that it was safe, they lit a small fire candle in the deepest part of the cave. Our shadows cast on the walls of the cave, swaying back and forth with the unstable light, adding to the chaos.

Time keeps passing. However, no one returned. Whether it was Fu Tianliang who went out before, or the two groups of people who went out later.

Once again, our hearts were anxious.

Wen Gao came over and said to me that instead of waiting anxiously here, he should go out and take a look, and I nodded in agreement.

So he hurried out. He went out for a long time and didn't come back.

The brothers who stayed behind were a little out of breath.

He suspected that Wengao had been discovered by the enemy, and feared that it would attract the enemy.

While we were discussing, there was a noise near the entrance of the cave, as if someone had stepped on a tree branch.

The brother drew his knife and stood up, and he made a silent gesture to me, gently touching the hole.

At this moment, there was another click. My skin tightened all over my body. My heart was beating wildly. There must be someone outside, and someone outside is quietly approaching the hole.

The brother motioned for me to extinguish the candle, hide it behind the rock, and then disappear outside the cave with his sword.

I held my breath and waited for the outside to come to light.

I'm thinking of you in my heart. Where are you now, dear you? Have you reached the steppe? Are you in combat? Have you achieved your goal? Are you safe and sound? Will you ever be able to come back?

I say to you in my heart that if something terrible happens, I will never allow the enemy to take me prisoner. I will die like my father's daughter. Dear you, I'm sorry, I have to choose this way. We're saying goodbye. We'll see you in the next life. I hope you don't be sad when you come back. My love for you will always follow you and protect you with the amulet around my neck. Let my love be one with your mother's love. I am so glad to have met you, to fall in love with you, and to be able to follow you in this life.

While my mind was struggling with a myriad of thoughts, there was a muffled pop outside the entrance to the cave. Then there was the sound of a clash of machines colliding and dragging.

Then I saw the brother rush in covered in blood, one of his arms had been broken, and a large amount of blood was spurting out of the gap in the severed limb. He just stood there bleeding profusely and shouted at me, "Run! Then he fell at my feet with a thud.

I was so frightened that my blood all over my body was cold. Instinctively, I reached out to help him.

At this time, Wengao appeared at the door of the cave. He carried a bloody knife in his hand.

Before I could react, the brother jumped up from the ground, pounced on him, and grabbed one of Wen Gao's legs.

I heard him shout again, "Miss, run!" ”

A ridge of cold air rose rapidly from behind it, heading straight for the top beam.

There was a buzz in my head, and I instinctively pulled my legs and rushed towards the hole.
