A week later, Mei Xue was discharged from the hospital. The company arranged for her to recuperate in one of the best hotels.

Xiao Yi accompanied her to the hotel and looked around to ensure safety. This week, he was by Mei Xue's side day and night, Xiao Yi didn't know if Mei Xue would take care of herself alone after he left. But the corps must be returned.

"Xiao Yi, you haven't told me yet, why are you here? Why wear such a military uniform? "Mei Xue's complexion has improved a lot these days.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment: "Mei Xue, I am now serving in the French Corps for five years, and there is still half a year to serve. ”

"The French Legion?" Mei Xue didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's mercenaries. Where there is war, we will go wherever we are needed. Local problems that need to be solved, as long as we pay the Corps, we will appear. Xiao Yi explained.

Mercenaries, Mei Xue has heard of this word, and I heard that it is retired personnel from various countries who gather together to work for an organization.

"Huh?! Why join this kind of organization? Have you ever killed someone? ”

What's with?

Just because Xiao Yi has served in the domestic special forces for ten years and has developed a skill, he once carried out a mission at the border to arrest drug dealers, but the mission failed, and two comrades-in-arms died. Another time, a little girl was kidnapped by a gangster in a shopping mall, and before they could reach the scene, the little girl was cut in the throat with a knife by the vicious gangsters, and the child's blood dried up in a while.

Watching the wars in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and other countries on TV, killing and injuring a large number of innocent civilians, he hated armed riots and criminals.

His father wanted him to help with the business, but how much he loved this profession, saving people and fire. Later, with the intervention of his father, he retired and returned home after ten years of service in the special forces.

When he returned home, he felt like he had lost his soul, and he longed to continue to uphold justice and deal with the most vicious mobs. However, he was unable to fulfill his ambitions as a civilian in the country and could not find a way out, so he secretly joined the French Legion behind his father's back.

The nature of the corps is: as long as you pay for it, I will send you troops to fight.

From the very beginning, he received the task of quelling the armed rebellion in a small country, a large number of civilians and innocent soldiers, because of the countless casualties in the war, by now he is tired of this kind of fighting, killing, and killing, he himself does not know how many people died under his guns in four and a half years, but he never shoots civilians. The Corps stipulates that five years of service must be completed before retirement is allowed.

He didn't know how to explain this to Mei Xue: "Killed." They were all killed during the mission, some were killed in war, and there were bandits like this one. ”

Mei Xue looked at him blankly, looking at his slender and bony hands, and her body couldn't help but shrink.

Xiao Yi stretched out his hand, and Mei Xue subconsciously dodged. Xiao Yi froze for a moment: "Mei Xue, you have to believe me, I have not killed innocent people, the civil war in Syria and Iraq continues, you know, we are all militants who kill civilians." ”

Mei Xue doesn't understand war, she doesn't understand why Xiao Yi joined the mercenary group? Is he short of money?

"Why? Are you short of money to spend? Mei Xue unconsciously said her doubts.

"No, it's not about money, mercenary commissions are very low, and many people join this organization because they want to become French nationals after their service expires." Xiao Yi explained: "And I don't do anything, after the domestic special forces are retired, I just want to continue to punish the bad guys, you know, these bad guys can't be restrained by law." At that time, I thought that joining the Corps was the only way. ”。

"Do you want to be French at the end of your five-year term?"

"How is it possible, I will return to China, everywhere I am Chinese." More often than not, I'm doubting my choice, I'm tired of this life, I'm tired of war. Xiao Yi held his head in his hand, then suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Mei Xue, and stared at Mei Xue's eyes: "Mei Xue, wait for me for another half a year, I will go back in only half a year." ”

Waiting for you? Mei Xue's appearance flashed in front of her eyes. A big boy just buried his life in this foreign country for himself, Mei Xue doesn't know what qualifications she has to love and accept other feelings. She was afraid, at least for a short time, she wouldn't let any man get close to her, and she didn't want to carry too many heavy love debts.

If a man who loves himself will eventually have to pay the price of his life, death is so close that she can touch it. Mei Xue didn't dare to think about it, let alone step into the world of feelings.

Xiao Yi watched as a layer of tearful mist in Mei Xue's eyes quickly spread, and he sighed: "Mei Xue, you have to believe me, I will give you safety." ”

Mei Xue remembered being rescued from the reef by Xiao Yi in China, riding a motorboat in crazy circles, the shirtless and bronzed figure in the garden, and the days when she lost a long time because she couldn't see the people in the garden.

"Xiao Yi, we can't promise anything in the future. Ding Yang was killed to save me, I don't want to owe any more emotional debts, do you understand? Mei Xue's tears flowed again.

"I know, Mei Xue, you don't owe anyone. Any man with a conscience will come forward to save you in that situation. ”

"But if I hadn't stopped the blacks from escaping, maybe nothing would have happened." Mei Xue remembered those moments painfully.

"Everything has happened, don't think about it anymore. Just because the bandits are too strong, you are too weak. Do you understand? You have to be strong. ”

"But the bad guys have guns." Mei Xue cried: "Xiao Yi, why weren't you in the hotel at that time?" If you were here, Ding Yang wouldn't have died. "Sadness and helplessness swept over the world.

Xiao Yi hugged Mei Xue and patted her on the back, Mei Xue no longer resisted him, and huge worries came to Xiao Yi's heart: After leaving, what should she do if she is left alone in this foreign country?

"Xiao Yi, I don't want to stay anymore, I want to go back." Mei Xue choked.

This country, this city, now leaves only pain for Mei Xue, and the joy of this country is gone.
