The Germans were led by a sergeant. Immediately after crossing the river, the Germans were ordered to attack the outpost and reconnoiter the reality of the American troops. The three were three members of the German patrol, who saw Karl's cottage from a distance, and the sergeant came with three men. There were four more people waiting below.

"Hurry up, go to the woods!" Karl yelled at Parks, shoved him, and told him to run towards the woods next to the house, which was just in the way of the three Germans, "I'll deal with the three Germans!" ”

"Carl, give me your coat!" Parks said suddenly, pointing to his coat.

"What?" Carl gave him a startled look, "What the hell?" ”

"Coat!" Parks pointed again.

Karl hurriedly took it off, handed it to him, and said, "Hurry up, here you go, hurry up and hide in and take the gun." As he spoke, he handed the rifle to Parks, "Don't come out, there must be others among them, don't be impulsive, Lieutenant!" ”

"Don't worry!" Parks picked up his coat, gun in hand, and ran as fast as he could into the woods. Until the Germans saw him, he could completely hide his body.

He quickly hid his body, covered himself with turf and leaves again, and watched the movement in front of the house with the keen eyes of a hunter. His rifle slowly stretched out. He slowly felt the cold sensation of the rifle in his hand, slowly and calmly inhaled the air, and then wrapped Carl's coat tightly around the muzzle.

About two hundred meters from yourself to the front of the house. And the effective wounded distance of the rifle is six hundred meters, which is enough. But there were still four Germans down the slope, and if they were alarmed, then the Karl family would be in danger. They will definitely move the rescuers. Parks was not entirely sure at the moment, and the only hope was that the Germans would just check it normally and leave.

"Cecia, hide in the house!" Carl let out a low yell at a panicked Cecia.

Without saying a word, Cecia ran into the house, and then stayed in her house, hiding under the window and looking out, from which her could see his father's back. His father was like a mountain, standing in front of her, and her heart calmed down a little. They had been inspected by the Germans before, and she knew what her father would do.

"Uncle Karl, it's a pleasure to see you." The German sergeant approached, greeting Karl in stiff Dutch with a smile on his face, it was clear that the sergeant knew Karl, and he had already dealt with Karl twice, once to search for all the weapons of resistance of the Dutch, and once to pass by and take a few sheep from Karl.

"What's the matter? Sergeant Cardeiro! Carl looked at him coldly, his tone a little stiff.

"Did you see any Americans?" Sergeant Cadero stepped forward and craned his neck to look at both sides of the room, trying to find something. By this time two other German soldiers had already broken into Karl's house.

"Don't go in, what do you want to do?" Karl rushed forward and tried to stop the two German soldiers from breaking in. But he was stopped by Sergeant Cardeiro.

"Don't get so angry, Uncle Carl. We're just routine, we don't have anything else to think about! "If you're rude, there's no guarantee they won't make a fuss!" Listen to me, they won't mess with your house. Trust me, Uncle Carl, we're old friends too, aren't we? Stand back, stand back a bit. ”

Karl took two steps back and watched as the Germans entered the house. Then I heard a scream coming from inside. His face suddenly swelled purple, and he shouted into the room, "Cecia! He then desperately tried to rush into the house, but was stopped by Sergeant Cadero, who desperately blocked Carl.

"Don't mess around, Carl, I promise they won't touch a finger of her." Cardeiro then turned to the room and shouted, "Guys, don't mess around, don't touch that girl." I'm not going to allow you to do that, just come out if it's okay. We've got to go somewhere else, hurry up, guys! ”

At this time, the door was opened with a "bang". Cecia ran out of the room as quickly as she could, covering her face with one hand and her chest with the other, revealing a snow-white skin in the torn placket of her clothes. She rushed into Carl's arms, and although there were tears in her eyes, she stubbornly didn't cry.

"Cecia, are you alright?" Carl hugged Cecia tightly, then looked down at her face, and couldn't hide his anger to look at Sergeant Cadero, "That's what you said?" ”

Cardeiro shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, they're all newbies. You know, newbies always make some mistakes. So you just think they're bad students who made mistakes. I promise, it will never happen again. Uncle Karl, I've apologized, why don't you invite us to your house and treat us to a drink? ”

"I don't have anything here! Excuse me, Sergeant! Karl looked at him coldly.

"I'm not picky, I can do anything. Even if it's a cup of goat's milk. Sergeant Cadero grinned, and without waiting for Karl to agree, he went into the room himself, and he looked around as if he were careless. Then he went to the kitchen and saw a can of goat's milk in the closet, so he took it off, found a cup for himself, and poured a full cup of milk. His eyes saw a piece of gauze under the closet, he looked at it, there was a dark red patch on it, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but frown, and then tucked the piece of gauze into his trouser pocket.

"Fresh goat's milk, it tastes so good!" Sergeant Cadero walked out with the goat's milk, "Did you just squeeze it today?" I think it should be, fresh taste! ”

"This is the only thing we have, and you have taken my sheep!" Karl said angrily.

Cadero couldn't help but smile slightly: "That was a misunderstanding. Aren't there two left? Why is it the only one? You slaughtered them all? ”

"No, but the other day, one more was taken away by your people. Now I only have one left. A sheep can only have such a small amount of milk, so this is the only one, and I didn't say anything wrong! Carl snorted, his tone not so good, a little rushed.

"Don't be so angry, Uncle Carl, it's not good for you!" Cardeiro grinned again, "You didn't hurt yourself today, or something?" ”

Karl couldn't help but stare at him and said, "Sergeant, what do you want to say?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Sergeant Cadero shook the bloodstained gauze out of his trouser pocket, "That's what I want to say, what is this?" Where did it come from? Are you hiding some British or American or something? ”

"I broke my finger in the morning, and that doesn't mean much!" Karl's heart shook suddenly, it was obvious that this gauze was used to wipe the American lieutenant when he was injured, and he put it in his own hand, and he didn't know where to put it, how did the German find it? There were a number of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't get the point.

"Tell me, where is that man?" Sergeant Cadero stared at Carl, but Carl kept his mouth shut and didn't even look at him. He smiled slightly, and then motioned for the two Germans to search again, "Look carefully, don't embarrass Uncle Karl, if he doesn't want to say it, find it out, let him see for himself." ”

Carl didn't look at him at all, just stared at the room. Cecia, on the other hand, hid behind Carl in a little panic, her eyes showing a hint of panic, and her hands tightly held Carl's shirt.

Carl kept comforting her: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here." ”

Sergeant Cadero walked over with a smile, and then faced Cecia and asked in a low and even gentle tone, "Cecia, I didn't expect you to be beautiful again, we just haven't seen each other for a few months, have we?" ”

Cecia involuntarily ducked behind Karl's back, her panicked eyes glaring at Cardeiro, shaking her head, and then nodding again. She was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't touch her, sergeant! I warn you, don't touch her! Karl involuntarily placed himself in front of Cecia, completely blocking Cecia from Sergeant Cadero.

"I'm just saying hello to the pretty girl, Uncle Carl!" Cadyro said, and at this time two Germans came out, and they shook their heads at Cardeiro and said, "Nothing, sergeant!" ”

Sergeant Cardeiro couldn't help frowning, then looked at Karl again and said, "Okay, Carl, let's stop going around in circles, you better say it yourself, we need to find that damn wounded American or British." So that we leave, and then we have nothing to do with each other, and we can promise that we will not bother you again, and we will even give your sheep back to you! How? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Karl frowned, stared at Cardeiro, and said, "I don't have any Americans here, and I don't have any British. So I don't have much to say either. ”

"Uncle Karl, don't do this, I know you know, tell me, you know, these two recruits of mine don't have a lot of rules and don't know how to be polite, I can't guarantee what they're going to do." As he spoke, he whistled at the two Germans behind him. His eyes glanced at Cecia behind Karl.

The two Germans smiled, and then flanked Cecia behind Karl. Their eyes were filled with a silver glow, and if it hadn't been for Cardeiro's drink to stop them, they would have been furious.

"One last chance, Uncle Karl!" Cardeiro smiled slightly and looked at the two German soldiers who were nervously looking at the two buns that had copied over, "Say it, and we'll leave immediately." It's really not worth it for the sake of an American or an Englishman you don't know. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Carl protected the panicked Cecia and said resolutely.

Cardeiro couldn't help frowning, then sighed and said, "Okay then, you closed the door to negotiations." He said to the two Germans, "Feel free to do so." ”

Karl yelled, "Cecia, run!" As he spoke, he pounced on a German soldier, but was held by another backhand, and the other German soldier laughed and pounced on Cecia, who turned around and ran towards the woods in panic.

"Poof", a very slight sound in the woods, did not alarm anyone. The German soldier who was chasing Cecia suddenly fell to the ground.
