Alberta thinks he has to be fast, otherwise he won't change anything...... All he could do was watch Alyssa die like his adoptive father......

Alberta recognized the roads around him, and he looked at the charred houses, the charred houses, like dead people, who fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and then died......

These charred houses, like dead people, Alberta saw dead people around, and they fell to the ground, like the houses around them, and died.

He swallowed, then the Adam's apple in his neck moved...... He continued to walk ahead, and he ran a few steps before he saw Alyssa's house.

As fast as he could, he ran to the collapsed house where Alyssa lived, and the house had collapsed...... He choked up and cried, and then began to cry in grief...... He squatted on the ground, as if he was mourning something, and as if he was simply venting...... So he was crying desperately.

It was as he was crying that a voice echoed in his ears: "Alberta? Alberta was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a surprising sight: Alyssa poked her head out of a basement beneath her charred house. She opened the roof of the basement, then showed her head and said to Alberta, "Alberta? Are you okay? I hear your cry, hurry in! ”

Alberta scrambled to recover, wiped away his tears, and followed Alyssa into the basement. Alberta said to Alyssa, "Are you alright?" No...... I mean...... Good thing you're okay......"

Alyssa was dressed in a pale white dress, she was still so beautiful, with long eyebrows, a short nose, and a slightly fluttering fluff on her face, as well as a handsome appearance. In Alberta's heart, she is like an angel.

Alberta followed her into the basement, and as she walked up the stairs, she said with some trepidation and fear, "I'm scared...... Alberta. I could hear the rumbling of cannon outside all the time. But people were running, and my father let me into the basement. ”

Alyssa first reached the basement from the stairs, and Alberta followed her to the basement. She first walked up the stairs to the basement, and then Alberta followed her to the basement. As Alyssa's voice fell, Alberta saw Joseph Sr. getting up from his seat in the basement.

Joseph Sr. was Alyssa's father. He nodded unkindly at Alberta. Alberta, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed and a little frightened and nodded to him as well.

Alyssa saw her beloved, and suddenly she couldn't control it, and she choked up at Alberta and said, "Alberta...... I...... I'm so scared...... I...... Woo ......" Alyssa burst into tears, and Alberta instinctively hugged Alyssa, and then said to Alyssa, "Good girl, don't cry...... Alyssa ...... It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm there for you. ”

That is, as soon as Alberta's voice fell, Joseph Sr. pushed Alberta away: "Hey! What are you doing! She doesn't belong to you! Don't beat my daughter's idea with your hands and feet! ”

Alberta gasped for breath and was angry, and he looked at Joseph Sr.: "She's so scared! ”

Joseph Sr. pushed Alberta again, and then pointed his thick arm at Alberta's nose: "Then you have to remember that you don't need to protect her!" I'll personally watch to keep the enemy's bullets from hitting her! You fisherman, hillbilly! Remember, rednecks, stay away from Alyssa! ”

Alyssa half-pushed her arms around her father, "Daddy, don't blame Alberta...... He crossed half the town, and the whole harbor was on fire, and outside there were either guns or shots...... Dad, he's come to see if I'm okay, don't be angry......" Alyssa half-shoved his father away from Alberta.

At this time, Alberta's chest was lying together, and he couldn't bear it: "Hey! I'm telling you! I'm not a hillbilly...... I'm a fisherman! It's the fisherman! Fishing! ”

Joseph Sr. pushed his daughter away, pointed his thick fingers at Alberta's pen again, and said viciously, "That's a hillbilly!" I know more than you do! ”

"You say I'm a hillbilly, but so are you! You are a farmer, but you only started to learn to read and write when you worked in the statistics and taxation department! Alberta looked at Joseph Sr. with tears in her eyes.

At this point, Alyssa said to Alberta, "Hey! Alberta, you can't say about him, he's my father! ”

Old Joseph crossed his waist: "Okay, then I, an old hillbilly, will tell you" At this time, Joseph's voice was raised very high, and he reprimanded: "Stay away from my daughter!" You don't deserve her, hillbilly! Alberta was sure that Joseph Sr. raised his voice a little more emphatically when he said "hillbilly."

Alberta's lips trembled and he turned his head as he sat in the corner, sobbing and Alyssa saw him wiping his tears with his sleeve......

Alyssa patted her father, "Dad, you haven't asked Alberta's father yet...... How is he? ”

Joseph Sr. came to his senses, he felt a little guilty, he came to Alberta's side, and patted him on the shoulder: "That...... Old fellow, how is your father? ”

Alberta's lips twitched so hard that he couldn't help it, his head lowered, and then he sobbed in pain: "He's ...... He died in front of me...... I could have saved him...... But I couldn't...... I just ran away...... I let go, so the pillars supporting the house collapsed, and I ......"

Joseph Sr. patted Alberta on the shoulder: "Girl, you did your best......"

At this point, Alyssa noticed a scorched wound on Alberta's right shoulder that burned on Alberta's right shoulder when the charred wooden pillar collapsed while supporting the house...... She took out the ointment and water. She came to Alberta's side and first wiped the blood and mud from Alberta's wound with a cloth dipped in water. Alberta endured the pain and closed his eyes tightly......

Joseph Sr. saw his daughter cleaning Alberta's wounds and reprimanded, "Alyssa? He can do these things on his own! ”

Alyssa said, "But Daddy? He still had abrasions on his neck, and he was covered in blood and mud and mud! He ......"

Old Joseph said to his daughter, "He can do it himself!" He was able to fix the wound on his neck. Oh, my God! Daughter...... Because he was covered in mud and mud...... You should stay away from him! He's a hillbilly, there's no need for you to care so much about him. Ah, the fishy smell on his body is so disgusting! You should stay away from him! ”

"Daddy!" Alyssa was almost on the verge of crying: "How can you say that? ”

Alberta's lips twitched rapidly, he held back his tears, and then he said to Alyssa, "I'll come......" He took the water cloth from Alyssa's hand, and he glanced at his sweetheart with nostalgia and greed...... He didn't even dare to take a second look.

Alberta endured the pain and wiped the wound on his shoulder and applied ointment. Alyssa handed him the bandage. But Alberta couldn't put a hand on his shoulder.

Alyssa hurried to his side and bandaged him. Old John wanted to say something, but he saw the angry and determined look in his daughter's eyes. He pouted: "Where he can take medicine himself, you can't take medicine for him!" Remember to keep your distance from him......"

Alyssa ignored John Sr., and instead said to Alberta, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" She spoke, her voice choked.

Alberta said, "Good girl...... Don't cry...... Don't cry......" Alyssa knew that Alberta would usually put his arms around her and pat her on the shoulder and back while comforting her. At this time, Alberta just stared blankly at the wooden table in the corner, sat on the wooden chair, and said this sentence lifelessly. This only made Alyssa even more sad......

She wrapped Alberta's shoulder wound and applied ointment and sticky bandages to the abrasion on the left side of his neck. Then she came to a position a little further away from Alberta and sat down......

……

After about five minutes, Alberta first broke the loneliness: "We can't stay here!" It's going to die! We need to get out of this city! ”

Old John was so angry that he stood up and grabbed Alberta by the collar, and almost lifted Alberta up, and he was very big, and his arms were so strong, and he even had muscles in his jaw, and he said, "I'll tell you!" Alberta! You remember, here, it's not your turn to call the shots! If you want to get out, I won't stop you, get out! ”

Alberta was grabbed by the collar by John Sr., and instead of resisting, he said, "I'm here for the safety of Alyssa and you!" You haven't seen the enemy army, how strong they are! ”

Alyssa on the side saw that her father had lost his temper, and she didn't dare to come over to dissuade her, but she just stood far away and cried bitterly, "Dad...... Let him go, let him go! ”

Old John didn't listen at all, he rebuked Alberta: "It's not that the enemy army is too strong! It's that our defenders are too stupid! They can't hold the guns in their hands! They ......"

Alberta hears Old John reprimanding the defenders...... He remembered for a moment the timid private, who was still charging when he was picked up by two older soldiers, and when he was dying, he knelt on the ground, shouting that he wanted to see his mother...... He thought of the charging ensign, wiped the blood from his face with his military cap, and launched the charge with the last eleven men, and he thought of the company commander again, who was the first to charge...... Although Alberta was not a soldier, he knew that officers generally did not charge unless he no longer needed to direct the battle...... Not a single one of the four hundred men of the company was afraid, and though they trembled before the charge, they prayed...... But as soon as the order was given, they were all desperately charging outward......

Alberta was furious, he pushed away Old John's hand that was holding his collar at once, pushed Old John, and held him down, almost hoarsely roaring: "You! You don't understand them! You apologize! I want you to apologize! You don't see how they died! You don't see how they charge! You have to apologize, I want you to apologize! You don't see how they charge! You have to apologize! Alberta repeated these two sentences almost a dozen times......
