Chapter 708: A Photograph Unforgettable Memories

Peggy. Carter, the departure of this woman with an amazing life is already an irreversible thing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She believed in God all her life, but God could not give her eternal life. However, for this woman, her life is without regrets.

Because she loved a man, and until the last moment of her life, this man was also by her side. For all women in the world, this is a rare luck. Although she only got all this in the last moments of her life, it was enough for her to leave this world full of joy.

She left with a smile, but for the captain, it was enough to regret him for the rest of his life. Awakening after 70 years is not a comedic reunion, but another goodbye. Such a reality is really a huge blow to this man.

And this blow made him completely lose his soul for the next few days, and the whole person could only live like a walking corpse. Until, on the day of Peggy's funeral.

Because of the poor environment that the United States is in now, there were not many politicians at Peggy's funeral, whether it was the military or the government. This, even if Peggy has the identity of the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., has not changed much.

But on the contrary, in this case. A group of old people who are not young have come to this inconspicuous funeral one after another. Most of these people are Peggy's former comrades-in-arms and subordinates. And their arrival also added a bit of solemnity to this simple funeral.

Because it is not easy to come all the way to attend this funeral, because the current situation in the United States, that kind of chaos is not only political, but has spread to every part of the country, so to speak, just going out, has reached the point of worry. However, this is enough to show that they are really here to mourn, and not for any special political purpose. This sincere emotion is enough to make this funeral meaningful.

However, all this has nothing to do with the captain. He just sat silently in the first row, staring at Peggy's coffin like a statue. Even if a former comrade-in-arms stood by his side and greeted him, he did not respond in any way. It's as if for him, everything in this world has become completely irrelevant to him.

This kind of behavior is, of course, an impolite act. But the old men who came to greet them did not mean to blame, they just sighed and shook their heads. And so came Peggy's niece, Sharon. Carter presented her with his last condolences.

Peggy has been waiting for the captain's return all her life, she is not married, and naturally she has no children. And her niece became her rightful successor. And Sharon. Carter also fulfilled this duty well, she seriously responded to the thoughts of every old man, and tried her best to make Peggy's voice and appearance forever remembered.

Of course, this funeral cannot be endless. With everyone gone, Peggy's coffin was buried under the tombstone, and her life finally came to an end. The dead have a place to die, while the living have to live their lives.

So in the end, there were only two people left in front of this tombstone, the captain and Sharon.

Looking at this man who was immersed in his own world, Sharon hardly knew what she was doing right. Maybe it's time to pull him out, or, do the opposite. She was a little hesitant, but in the end, she decided to pull him out of it. Because she believed, and his aunt must have thought so, too.

Captain America has his own responsibilities and tasks, and he can't stay in this place forever for a dead person, a relationship that has completely ended.

So, she summoned up the courage and interrupted the captain's immersion in her own world.

"I don't think Aunt Peggy would want to see you like this?"

"I know!" After waiting for a long time, Sharon got a response from the captain. It's like a voice coming out of a deep hollow, and when you hear it, you feel a deep sadness. "Excuse me, though, for my last day? Or, give me time for another tune. I promised her that I would invite her to dance again, but I didn't expect that after 70 years, this promise still could not be kept. ”

"It's not your fault, Captain. None of us could have predicted what happened. Moreover, for my aunt, the dance you promised will not be as important as your return. You wouldn't know how happy your aunt was when she woke up from the ice. ”

"I have the impression that Aunt Peggy has always been a person who doesn't smile. She is very successful, successful people can only look up, I have always regarded her as an idol, and I am trying my best to get closer to her. I never imagined that she would have such a gaffe one day. Although the illness was tormenting her body at that time, I could see the joy that flowed from the depths of my heart. Captain, it's a very lucky thing for my aunt to know you. ”

"I'm sorry, please don't say anything more, okay?"

Suddenly, Sharon's memories of Peggy were interrupted, and uncontrollable sadness and powerlessness gradually appeared in the captain's brow. His eyes began to fluctuate, and even his tall body shuddered at the words. This is a hero, a recognized hero. But in the face of feelings, there is no difference between his fragility and normal people.

Peel off the mask on his body, he is just an ordinary person. A poor guy who couldn't help himself because someone important was leaving.

This realization made Sharon can't help but feel a lot of pity in her heart. Anyway, she is a woman, and women are always very tolerant of this kind of man who is fragile because of love, with a tough guy and a heroic image.

So at this time, she really wanted to give the man in front of her some comfort, even if it was to say some warm words, as long as it could make his heart feel better. But when she tried to open her mouth, she found that she could barely say anything.

Her knowledge of what had happened seventy years ago was too thin, and she knew nothing about the rose of love that bloomed in the flames of war, but withered faster. Ignorance gives her no say, and that empty comfort is nothing more than a blasphemy of the relationship.

And she wouldn't do such a thing. Whether it's out of respect for the person in front of you, or out of deep affection for your aunt. She wouldn't do anything like that. So, she also fell silent. It wasn't until a long time later, when the rain soaked her black dress, that she suddenly said to the captain as if she remembered something.

"By the way, there's something I should probably show you. It was Aunt Peggy's relic, something very important to her. ”

With all that said, Sharon didn't wait for the captain to react at all, and ran to his car, where she found a special presence among the relics that belonged to Peggy.

It was a photo, an old black and white photo. In the photo, the young-looking Peggy stands heroically in the center, while the captain next to her, dressed more in a costume, looks completely confused. It can be seen that he was very jerky at that time. Because he didn't dare to look in the direction of the camera at all, but quietly turned his gaze to the female officer next to him.

And Peggy didn't look at the camera, she was staring at her with her afterglow without the captain even knowing it. At the same time, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of an inexplicable smile, making her look extraordinarily bright.

Photographically, this photo is not a success. Because the two characters in it don't work very well with the photographer's work. But for the captain, this photo represents one of the best memories.

He took the photo from Sharon's hand, and then his eyes were foggy, and it seemed to fly far away. Even his voice began to come back to life.

"This was my first official mission, and I had just gone behind enemy lines to complete a rescue job. Almost everyone believed that I couldn't be back. But it was only Carter, who had always believed that I would come back. Honestly, I wasn't too sure myself, but in the end, I didn't disappoint her. ”

"Since then, I have finally started to be active on the battlefield as a warrior. But before that, something happened that was more important to me and more exciting. Peggy agreed to go on a date with me, just at the end of this mission. Do you know? It was my first date in my life and I was really excited. ”

"I didn't know there was a story like this, so it's no wonder my aunt laughs every time she sees this picture."

Sharon replied quietly, and at the same time, she began to paint in her mind the love story of that war years.

Women are always thinking about this kind of thing, and the captain doesn't interrupt her. He just quietly stroked the smiling woman in the photo with his fingers, recalling every part of her bit by bit in his memory.

It was a happy thing, but also a sad thing. Memories cannot be replaced, but the people in memory will become the past, a piece of dust. He's still alive, and she's dead. This is undoubtedly fate's greatest irony of them.

And the captain has nothing to do about it. He can't forget the past, and he can't leave everything behind to follow in Peggy's footsteps. So he could only touch the photo and make such a request to Sharon.

"A long time ago, I also had a photo. Peggy gave it to me, but unfortunately, when I fell into the ice, the picture was lost without a trace. So, can you give me this photo? ”

The captain's eyes were almost entirely pleading, and in the face of such a plea, Sharon had no reason to refuse. She could only nod, and then silently sent her blessings to the man in front of her.

And got the answer I wanted. The captain smiled with difficulty and turned around with the photo.

"Thank you. And goodbye. Goodbye, Sharon. Goodbye, Peggy! ”

With that, he went straight away, and disappeared into the rain without looking back. (To be continued.) )
