Chapter 101: The Past

The party was in full swing, and Marcus and Vincent were talking and laughing at the table. Although he and Amphitri are both newcomers with the rank of first-class corporal, they reveal some steady air. Although Vincent still prefers young people with momentum, it's fun to talk to someone like Marcus once in a while.

Marcus said with a smile as he poured his wine, "I didn't expect Big Brother Vincent to become an instructor at such a young age." ”

"yes." Vincent sighed and said resentfully, "It's because of this experience that I feel more than ten years older." ”

"No, no." Marcus hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle will always be our uncle." ”

Vincent wiped the cold sweat on his head, coughed twice, and said: "When I was an instructor, my life was really leisurely, except for educating some disobedient naughty ghosts, there was nothing to do." ”

Marcus smiled and said, "Don't be kidding, can you let it go like that?" I don't believe it. ”

Vincent was also noncommittal: "You're right, if those boys were allowed to go to war like that, then there would be more than just sweat on their foreheads." ”

Marcus continued: "You should prefer to teach them how to actually fight rather than a theoretical course, after all"

Vincent took a sip of his words and said, "After all, the battlefield is unpredictable, and who knows what will happen." ”

Marcus shook his head with a smile and said, "No, what I want to say is, after all, you were so agile before, isn't this more advantageous?" ”

"What did you say?" Vincent was stunned, he felt that Marcus's words definitely had a deep meaning.

"Also, I'd like to hear an anecdote about your time as a thief." Marcus was still smiling, but Vincent could sense that he wasn't joking, or that he wasn't listening for fun, and that there was another purpose in that.

Although this is the case, that experience can be said to be the biggest stain and regret in Vincent's life, which is not something that can be mentioned casually. Vincent looked straight at him to test him, and Marcus opened his eyes to meet him, but the smile on his lips remained the same.

"What do you want to hear?" Vincent was still frowning, but his mouth had loosened.

"Hah! Sure enough, it was. Marcus slapped the table suddenly, looking pleased.

At this time, Vincent realized that he had been tricked, and he had only told Trode about his past, and later Trode had told everyone about his role as an instructor and the reason why he was punished and transferred to North Africa, and everyone was impressed with Vincent after that. But even a person like Trode, who has some big nerves, shouldn't have said what happened before, because he trusted him, he told Trode. Now he unconsciously distrusts Trode just because of Marcus's expression, and even exposes his past, this alcohol is really harmful!

"How did you come up with that? Don't accuse me of guessing. This time it was Vincent's turn to look back with a serious expression, but Marcus showed confidence that his peers should not have, and just looked down and smiled.

Marcus laughed twice and said, "Because I accidentally saw your movements in and out of the tank several times, and that smooth movement is too good for a tank crew." ”

"Cut." Vincent didn't expect someone to see through himself with this detail, and he was very unconvinced: "In this way, why don't you guess that I am an athlete?" ”

Marcus smiled happily and said, "How is that possible? How can an athlete have such strength so soon after fighting, and in terms of psychological quality, I think firefighters are more likely than athletes, but firefighters should go to the army so early. ”

"Looks like I'm really in the wrong business." Vincent smiled self-deprecatingly.

"So?" Vincent changed his tone and said, "Is it necessary for me to say anything?" ”

The meaning of this sentence is unclear, and he has already made some trouble with the fact that Marcus has confirmed that Vincent is a thief, and for the specific content that follows, Vincent must not want to reveal it, he just said it so that Marcus felt that it was better to give up.

"Let's talk about one or two things, I'm still quite interested. For example, the story of stealing some profiteers and aristocrats, and finally making them jump in a hurry, can it still show justice? "Who knew that Marcus was chasing after him, and he really planned to dig out Vincent's old bottom.

Vincent stared into his eyes for a moment, then sighed and said, "The kind of thing you said does exist, but"

Vincent's brows tightened together, and he stared at Marcus's eyes and said, "Stealing is stealing, and you can't treat his crime differently because of who you steal." Stealing the poor will be cursed and spurned, and stealing the rich will be applauded, but this is all stealing, it is all a crime. Regardless of the starting point, he acted in the wrong way, so it's not something to be proud of. ”

Marcus's eyes flashed with ** ripples, and he whispered: "If he has done bad things in the past and has changed now, then he has become a good person like this?" Does the previous sins matter? ”

"No, it's impossible." Vincent replied to him very resolutely: "Whether he has changed or become a good person, the previous accounts cannot be written off, what can be repaid must be repaid, and what cannot be repaid can only be used as a driving force for psychological progress to stimulate himself." ”

"Pounds!"

Marcus knocked on the table, not too hard, but enough to cause the glass to fly off the table for a moment, before it fell and collided with the table, making a pleasant sound.

Seeing that he was so excited, Vincent turned his gaze to the side and said, "Of course, it is normal not to accept the shameless statements of a filthy person like me, and as a victim, this matter will obviously not be as simple as I imagined." ”

"Whew!" Marcus let out a long breath and said, "No, it's me who lost my temper and remembered something boring"

Before he could finish speaking, Marcus stood up and prepared to leave. He nodded slightly apologetically to Vincent and said, "I'm sorry to mention those things you don't want to recall, I'm a little unwell today, and I want to go back and rest first." ”

Vincent knew that in the current situation, even if he asked him, he would not say, and had to let it be. He looked at Marcus's departing back, gently picked up a glass of wine, and drank it slowly.

Although his way may not be recognized, he firmly believes that he will succeed one day, and he must not give up until then
