When the night loses its stillness as spice, the remaining darkness will become a nightmare.

In the village behind Audrey, the blackened walls gradually merge with the darkness after the flames rage. But more often than not, it was the fire of war that was chasing, like a cavalry decorated with armor, the crackling sound of the flames was the neighing of a horsewhip, and the temperature of the flames was the wielding of swords and guns, condescendingly trampling wantonly.

The sinister smile of the flames in the darkness made Audrey a little breathless, as if she was at the foot of a majestic mountain, and could only feel her own insignificance.

As Audrey was running through the town's granary, something seemed to explode in her mind, as if she was in a white and endless world, with nothing but endless humming.

Then the pain came from every part of her body and woke her up. Audrey found herself curled up under a hillside, hitting a rock as she rolled down, her back aching. Xiao Qi crawled out and rubbed Audrey with her face, wanting her to get better quickly.

Audrey endured the pain and climbed up the muddy soil on the hillside, only to see that the granary had been engulfed in flames, the cracked walls had collapsed, and some old facilities were wailing.

"If you can't take it away, will you destroy it?" Audrey muttered to herself.

That's when she had time to look around.

It was at the edge of the town, and in front of her—the direction in which countless residents had fled—there were countless bones and flames, and not far away the engines of trucks and the whistling of reconnaissance planes.

"They, didn't they escape?" Audrey's voice trembled slightly. Her parents had just spoken to her during the day, she had just greeted the owner of the bakery, and she had just told the children who were playing on the grass to come home quickly......

And now, the smell of blood and gunsmoke has declared that everyone here has become a charred corpse. The blood that had not yet coagulated, the guts that flowed out and the white bones that were exposed made Audrey hurriedly tilt her head to the side. These unfortunate people can no longer stand any attention.

"Why, why is this happening......"

This kind of behavior is beyond Audrey's comprehension. She has had no concept of malice since she was a child and treats the world in the kindest way possible. Even if she is bullied, all she will do is run away to protect herself.

But those children are fighting with each other, and they can't compare with the sea of fire at this moment. She knew that she was too weak, and she could only blindly accept the arrangement of fate, and she had no way to resist in the face of such misfortune.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone on her body, "Who's where!" A brutal German sentence pulled Audrey back from the brink of collapse, and quickly picked up Xiao Qi and endured the pain all over her body and continued to run.

"Stop!" Behind him came the sound of machine guns being loaded.

Of course, Audrey won't stop, and just happened to come across a corner, she hid in before the first bullet hit, hiding Xiao Qi in her clothes.

Audrey gasped for breath, and suddenly heard the sound of the trigger, and then felt a hard thing against the back of her head, which made Audrey freeze at the moment.

Every second was so long that if it weren't for the footsteps of the soldiers approaching around the corner, Audrey would have thought she was dead.

Audrey couldn't even breathe at the moment. In three seconds, Audrey's mind went from picture to complete blank, and then to hear a crisp trigger pull and a deafening ** explosion, and every moment became extremely clear.

"Am I dead?" Audrey waited for a signal from her five senses, but there was nothing, "Is this death?" ”

Suddenly, there was a sigh and footsteps behind her, and a tall figure walked past her.

"Why can I still hear voices?"

Audrey stood still, as still as a stone statue, leaving only the tall figure out of the corner, and said in German, "I have already dealt with it." Then the rubbing of the soldier's uniform as he bent over, "Sorry, sir! "It's okay, you can go." After speaking, the tall figure slowly turned back again.

Reflecting the moonlight coming from behind, Audrey could see the figure's face clearly. Disheveled brown hair, a face unrecognizable in a crowd, but with a pair of bright dark blue eyes. In the moonlight, in contrast to the frenzy of those rude soldiers, Audrey felt a kind of coldness from the deepest part of the sea.

"If you want to live, follow me."

In the moonlit night, even if you have lost your life, you can hear the restlessness of the creatures in the silence.

Audrey sat on a haystack and looked out at the moon from a window. She hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

The moon gradually slipped away from the window, leaving only a smile, and footsteps sounded outside the car.

The heavy iron door was opened, and the tall figure held a lamp and a piece of paper in his hand.

"We have been asked to 'fight quickly' and move on tomorrow, and if you want to escape, you have to do so now." As he spoke, the chief spread out the map and drew his fingers, "If you want to escape, you must not compare your speed with us, and ...... from this route."

"Long... Sir? Audrey waited for him to finish and spoke cautiously.

As soon as the officer raised his eyes, Audrey saw those cold eyes again, "What's the matter, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I ...... No, I ...... I just wanted to thank you. Why would you want to do that? ”

"Because I don't want to kill either." , the figure was silent for a moment, "Meet me, my name is Leon Feng." After a brief silence, Audrey said, "My name is Audrey Miller......

The car fell silent again. Afterwards, Leon gave Audrey a polite smile, and the shallow smile matched the cold look in his eyes. "Good luck."

Then the officer, walking to the door, turned back an angle as he left, and said, "I hope there will be peace next time we meet." ”

Audrey held the map and the light on her phone, and stared at the corner where the figure disappeared for a long time.

"Sure enough...... Is there a soul inhabiting every flower? ”

Finally, a teardrop hit the carriage, and there was a muffled sound that was neither light nor heavy, and the trembling moon moved westward again.

But Audrey knew she couldn't stop yet. Leaving the position cautiously, Audrey hugged the sleeping Xiaoqi and ran along the route on the map, "Just get to the position over there." ”

At this time, the clouds in the east were already faintly showing signs of being burned, but the sky was still gray.

Audrey had already seen the Belgian flag fluttering not far away, beside a trench not far away, and it seemed that once she got there, everything would be over for the time being.

However, the next moment, a truck rushed out of nowhere and pressed the flag under it.

This was followed by constant gunfire, **, and roars from both sides......

Audrey was now completely exposed to the battlefield, and she hurriedly slid down the trench.

Audrey is suddenly nervous to a new level at the moment, you know, she is in the middle of the battle!

Xiao Qi also ran out of Audrey's clothes at this moment, looking around at a loss.

"Savage creatures." Xiao Qi showed a disgusted expression, "How could I come here." ”

Only then did Audrey see a soldier beside her looking at her in surprise.

"Why are you here?" The soldier roared, trying to drown out the sound of battle.

"I'm on the run!" Audrey also tried to send her voice over.

"Get out of here!" The soldier didn't expect that there would be someone as unlucky as himself, still a defenseless little girl, and he was a little pitiful.

"I have nowhere to go!" Audrey almost yelled. Yes, she was wandering around to buy a cat kennel a few hours ago, and now, she's dodging bullets in the trenches.

What can she do?

At this time, there was a sound of metal colliding behind the soldier, and the two looked at each other, and one hand ** fell into the trench.

The soldier flipped behind Audrey at an incredible speed in an instant, and he actually wanted to use Audrey to block **!

"I'm sorry! I want to live too! The soldier shouted with a trembling voice.

At this moment, Xiao Qi was lying on Audrey's chest, and one person and one cat reacted at this time. Audrey instantly turned around and pressed her body to the ground, protecting Xiao Qi on her chest.

The soldier who had lost cover was so shocked that he was about to lie down when his hand exploded.

The sensation of this explosion was far more violent than the one last night, you know, ** right in front of her.

Audrey lost her instincts for a moment, her brain went blank again, and then she fell into darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but Audrey felt warmth on her face.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and it turned out that Xiao Qi was filling her face.

"Am I going to die?" Audrey's consciousness was gradually blurred at this time, she could only feel numbness and swelling, and something in her body that was heating up was passing rapidly.

The darkness, the bloodstains, the trenches in front of her were blurred, but she could still feel something hot licking her face.

It brought her mind back to when she was a child.

In the mountains, in the rain and mist, beside the pine trees.

It was also a rainy day.

A fallen pine tree hit Audrey in the foot, and Audrey, who was already feverish at the time, fell unconscious in the rain.

It was a cat that saved her, and kept licking her face to wake her up like it is now.

"I can feel it." Audrey wanted to say it to Xiao Qi, but she didn't know if she could say it.

"It's just that I can't be with you anymore. It was a cat that saved me before, and I have repaid the favor today. It's really a pleasure to go through so much with you. Remember when you put your paw on the bread you were baking, and you had the idea of a cat's paw bread. I remember last Christmas when you came back from a fish in the river and you shivered all night. Remember when I was at Mr. Planck's house......" Audrey burst into tears, and she could feel Little Seven waking her up harder.

"Enough, thank you, Xiao Qi."

She struggled to say it. She knew that her time was running out, and she knew that Xiao Qi wanted to leave here with her. But no, but you have to leave on your own. You have to get out of here, Xiao Qi. You have to live on your own......

Audrey had a thousand words in her heart, but she was speechless, not even a goodbye.

Even if it is a goodbye, a wish, or an entrustment, to convey her thousand words of heart, it will not work.

"Xiao Qi will understand." But Audrey knew that even if she didn't say it, the time they spent together had interpreted these words vividly.

Let's go, Little Seven.

It's time for me to leave, too.

The clear whiteness of the fish's belly and the faint clouds of fire surrounded Audrey's body, no different from the usual sky when Audrey got up from the comfort of her bed and hurried to the bakery.

But this morning, Xiao Qi wailed beside Audrey's body, and kept poking Audrey with his paws.

But Audrey was no longer moving. No longer holding him like before, stroking his head like before, like before......

Suddenly, Xiao Qi saw a ray of light flash from Audrey's chest, reaching into the depths of the sky.

He fixed his eyes on it, and it was the ring.

"Is it the reflection of the sun?" Xiao Qi looked up, "But it's only bright now, where is the light so strong?" ”

Xiao Qi picked up Audrey's ring, thinking that if he saw her parents, he could return it......

Xiao Qi quietly hid in Audrey's clothes, waiting for the storm to roar by. The clothes on his body gradually warmed up, and there was no sound outside.

Xiao Qi jumped out, looked left and right, and decided to continue walking in the direction Audrey had before.

Before leaving, Xiao Qi certainly didn't forget to step on the coward who used a woman to block his hand.

Under the white belly of the fish, the crisp sunlight was incompatible with the mountains of corpses, and the sunlight that should have shone on the ripe rice was now shining on the hideous faces.

Xiao Qi walked alone in the heavy flames, and his sturdy figure moved his center of gravity forward slightly, looking aggressive.

With a flash of figure, Xiao Qi disappeared into the distance in the air fluctuations caused by the flames.

At this time, Xiao Qi's eyes were no longer tired, and his dark green eyes were staring at the front.

He vows that he wants to restore Audrey's beauty.
