Chapter 119: Finally an Answer
Does Count McNuss remember this soldier who killed himself by biting his tongue, was he eighteen or nineteen years old this year? Some can't remember clearly, baby-faced, with a country accent from Novak Province in the southern part of the Bauhinia Empire, and some rap and make people laugh. He is a good person, but his biggest problem is that he is gluttonous, and he likes to eat things that are very sweet and greasy.
Oh yes, his name is Sigmund Freud. Jamal? Freud.
I still remember a few days ago, this kid was still secretly lying in the bed at night to write a letter to the girl he liked, after being found by the Earl McNuss who was rounding, this kid looked shy, refused to hand over the letter he wrote, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then begged for mercy with a hippie smile to Count McNuss: "I will never write after the lights go out again, okay?" You can do it, spare me this time! ”
Seeing his deceitful appearance, Count McNus was simply ridiculous, but he could not be spared for violating military discipline, and finally he personally whipped him with twenty lashes.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!" Although Freud grinned in pain, he still smiled: "When I go back, I will tell that chick that I have been beaten for you, if you don't marry me, are you worthy of me?" ”
The sound and smile are still in front of him, but this kid has just bitten his tongue and committed suicide in front of him!
Thinking of the letter that was eaten in the stomach and not mailed, I am afraid that the girl will never know for the rest of her life that a young man named Freud was once deeply in love with her.
Count McNuss was about to break his heart, and he cried as if he were crazy.
He cried, and the eyes of the other soldiers were also red, of course they knew that their robe brothers chose to die, in order not to drag everyone down, and so that more people could continue to live.
Seeing that the masked men behind him had chased after him, and now he had to leave immediately, but Count McNus was already crying and faint, and he couldn't pull it up, and his most trusted personal guard captain Royce was pale, and for the first time in his life, he punched McNus in the cheeks, and said loudly: "Lord Earl, go quickly, do you want those brothers to die in vain?" ”
Burst......
Blood splattered, and Royce's punch was hard enough, and a cloud of blood mist suddenly erupted from Count McNus's mouth.
The pain brought Count McNus to his senses, and he gritted his teeth and placed the bodies of the seven seriously wounded on the ground, then turned and continued on.
But that still doesn't work.
Now there are twelve men under Count McNuss, and if they all go together, the goal is too big, and the best way is to break them into pieces and escape separately.
Either that, one group of people will be divided to deliberately attract the attention of the enemy, and then another group of people will take the opportunity to choose another path.
According to Count McNuss's idea, he chose the first option, everyone dispersed to break out, and then reassembled at the designated place.
However, when he had said this, he was answered by a moment of silence.
If everyone is an ordinary soldier with the same identity, of course it is okay to disperse and break through, and it is not a big deal to even turn over and go back and break the net, but it is Count McNuss! It's the Earl! It's the nobility of the Empire! He is the supreme commander of the entire Northwest Army! Now everyone's goal is the same, that is, to ensure that Count McNuss does not die, as long as this goal can be achieved, it does not matter whether he is dead or alive at all, if he is scattered and breaks through, once Count McNuss has an accident, then even if everyone else survives, what's the point?
No way! There must be no scattered breakouts.
Count McNus must not be allowed to put the bill on his own.
Seeing that no one spoke, Count McNus was a little anxious, he was not a fool, of course he knew what these brothers were thinking, and he was about to get angry, but he was hit the back of the neck, and Count McNus fainted as soon as his eyes were dark.
It was none other than Royce, the captain of his personal guard, who was still addicted to the punch he had just given Count McNuss.
He squatted, put Count McNus on his shoulder, and named a few people, asking them to join him and protect Count McNus first. As for the others, Royce smiled bitterly: "I thank you on behalf of Lord Earl, I hope we can still drink together." Come back alive......"
With that, Royce and a few people rushed in the other direction.
Watching their figures fade away, among the people who stayed, a guy named Mo Ning had a resolute face.
They are the bravest fighters, they are not afraid of death, instead of running away like a lost dog and finally being chased and killed one by one, it is better to think of a way to kill TMD before dying.
Dry!
Counting Mo Ning, there were a total of four people left, Mo Ning called them together and said, "I have been here before, I know that there is a good place on the side of the road in front, look, there are still stocks in the quiver, right?" That's good, we'll be ambushed in a while, and when those ** raisers come, we'll shoot them all into hedgehogs, phew......" Mo Ning spat out a mouthful of bloody spit: "Follow me!" ”
There was a small grove over there, where a few people were hidden, and when they left, they deliberately left blood stains and footprints on the ground, just to attract the masked people.
As they wished.
The masked men were drawn to the outside of the grove by the blood on the ground, and just as they were cautiously preparing to go in and search, a volley of arrows from Moning and the others came over.
According to Mo Ning's idea, there are four people on his side, and the other party is only five when he is full, and the needle tip is against Mai Mang, and the strength is roughly the same, but the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, so why can't he knock down a few cold arrows when he shoots over?
However, the ideal is a **bewitching beauty, but the reality is a skinny **.
Unlike those masked men who were all samurai before, among these five people, except for the fat man who was a magician, the others were actually hunters, and they were all very high-level.
Their combat experience in the jungle, their counter-reconnaissance capabilities, are much beyond that of the Monin.
After dodging the first round of arrows, the two sides began to shoot at each other, and by the time the wind calmed down, Mo Ning and the other four had all been killed, and only one of the masked hunters was slightly injured.
However, it was precisely because of Morin that they delayed time with their lives, Count McNus and they escaped from danger smoothly, and in the evening, they came to the nearest town, found a carriage, and then protected Count McNus as fast as possible.
Two days and two nights.
However, Count McNuss was still in danger, and he had been wounded in the previous battle, especially in the head and chest, and that night he had developed a high fever due to the deterioration of his wounds and excessive jolting, and when he returned home, he was still unconscious.
……
When Duon came in, Count McNus was lying on the **, his eyes were closed, his head was wrapped in white gauze, and he was stained with blood, and the Countess was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes were full of tears, and the captain of the Reuss guard was standing there, not saying a word, and besides them, there was a doctor-like man in the room, who was whispering something to the Countess, and a few servants came out with a basin of medicine and something like that.
"Duang, my son!" As soon as she saw Duang come in, the countess couldn't hold back any longer, the tears in her eyes rippled down, and she put her arms around Duang's shoulders with low sobs: "Look at your poor father, he is very badly injured!" ”
Du Ang couldn't tell what mood he was in at this time, comforted his mother a few words, came to the bedside, and looked at his father who was lying unconscious in **, Du Ang had mixed feelings in his heart as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
Du Ang is a traverser, from the earth, with his own consciousness, he always feels that he is a stranger who suddenly broke in, is a passerby, just by mistake living in this Bauhinia Empire, on the earth, he has parents who love him, Du Ang has always felt that the two old men with gray hair can make themselves willing to shout the words "parents", and for here, for his current identity, for his current parents, Du Ang always has an inexplicable sense of alienation and strangeness in his heart.
Two words: awkward!
This is not his final destination, as Justin said, after completing five hundred tasks, he can return to Earth, and his current parents are not his real parents, yes, Duon has always thought so.
However, after a long period of contact and long-term dependence, the beautiful countess finally touched Duang with her loving heart, from resistance to acceptance, slowly, Duang has become accustomed to calling her mother, and is also used to the existence of such a mother, but in contrast, for the father of Count McNuss, Duang has never been at ease, he is still very awkward, this is a strangeness without any sense of belonging.
Count McNus spent all the year round on the north-west frontier, eating and sleeping in the open, often not coming back several times a year, and even sometimes, his appearance was very strange to Duon's memory, without the slightest warm affection between father and son.
Yes, Duon thought that this was only his nominal father after all, and he even thought about what he would be like when he inherited the title of Earl of McNus a hundred years later, and whether he would be saddened by his death or rejoiced from the bottom of his heart when he received the title? Or both?
I don't know, it was just his own cranky thoughts in the dead of night, and now, Duon finally knows the answer.
An irresistible, stinging pain from the deepest part of the heart!
Although Duang's soul comes from the earth, his body belongs to this land, to the Bauhinia Empire, to Count McNus and the beautiful countess, it is they who gave Duang this flesh-and-blood body, and it is they who give Duang a chance to live again.
Yes, blood is thicker than water, and father and son are heart-to-heart.
This is a fact that no one can erase.
Douang tilted his head and closed his eyes, trying to keep his tears from flowing, and then he walked slowly over and reached out to touch Count McNuss's head.
It's hot! (To be continued.) )
