Section 4 Red Juan
"Sister Li is dead?"
The captain of the sixth team did not speak, but replied in silence. Hongjuan was in a trance for a while, she felt sour in her nasal cavity, and almost burst into tears.
Someone behind her was already sobbing.
"Don't cry." The captain's tone was as always, calm, peaceful, and dignified. But the meaning of this order is extraordinarily strong.
The red cuckoo lowered her head and wiped her moist eye sockets with her forearm. Huang Li was very popular in the team before her death, and almost everyone regarded her as a confidant. The team members are troubled, and she listens. There was a conflict between the team members, and she mediated. Whether it is exoneration or persuasion, she can always convince people with reason, and everyone is well-known.
When she goes to war, she is always the most reliable one besides the captain.
And now, she lay quietly twenty kilometers away in some unknown corner, never to return to them.
"You're sad, I understand that, because I'm not feeling well, and no one here misses her more than I do." The captain spoke again: "But you are all the leaders of the sixth team, and you are the backbone of the sixth team, and weakness is definitely not something you should have."
"From now on, I want you to abandon your sorrow, remember your anger, turn it into our flesh and blood, and drive us to avenge Sister Li. Yes, revenge! Revenge on the man! That's what we're supposed to do, and we'll never forget it! The last six words rang out loud.
"Never forget!"
After everyone's boiling blood cooled down a little, the captain officially handed over the task.
"After daybreak, the boss will send a mixed team to clean up the battlefield. The regimental commander has given permission for our team to send people to participate, but on the condition that I and my direct ten-man team remain in the camp and be on standby. So you'll be under the command of the Red Juan, and the priority goal during the operation will be to find and collect the remains of the 6th team of the dead. At the same time, you should also pay special attention to the fact that you are likely to encounter the man who killed Sister Li within a radius of a hundred miles from the battlefield. Although he has been seen being hammered by Sister Li, there is still a good chance that he will survive. ”
"This man's name is Takekan, and he is a single-rank samurai. It is characterized by a distinct birthmark on the back of the right hand. If he's still alive and you run into him, try to capture him alive. There was a strange glint in the captain's eyes. You must leave him to me after he is captured, he is mine. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" The crowd roared.
"It's good, the red cuckoo stays. The rest were disbanded. ”
The chiefs saluted in unison, turned and left in turn. The captain circled around the campfire, picking up a long branch and plucking the burning firewood.
"Hongjuan, when did you wake up?"
"Captain, I woke up at the end of last year, and it has been exactly two hundred days until today."
"Two hundred days? Time flies. The captain crouched down, "Then the memory of your previous life should be almost recovered, right?" Haven't found your name from your past life? ”
It makes no sense to lie to someone who is a mind reader, especially if the other person is your boss.
"Captain, I'm ......"
"Don't be gifted all the time, there's no one else here. Relax. ”
Hongjuan's face burned slightly, "Yes, Captain." I, I've actually gotten my name back a long time ago, but I don't want to use it anymore. The reason is ......, and my subordinates are ashamed to say it. ”
"Heh, are you embarrassed to say?" The captain chuckled softly, "It's the same as Sister Li." ”
Well? The willow eyebrows of the red cuckoo were twisted together. Same as Sister Li? What does this mean? Could it be that Sister Li is also ......
"Yes, Sister Li is also an awakened person, and she was awakened three years ago. She hadn't told anyone but me the secret. ”
If it weren't for the fact that Captain, your ability is mind reading, I guess she'd treat you the same. Hongjuan said in her heart, "Sister Keli, she has always been a single-rank warrior, why didn't she advance?" Why refuse to strengthen yourself? ”
"Because she has her reasons too, just as you don't want to use your previous life's name anymore."
"Oh." Hongjuan was speechless, but she quickly thought of another question, "Wait, Captain." In the realm of Sister Li, I mean, the realm of truth. Wouldn't the man who killed her, called Bamboo Pole, be rewarded by the Lord God and become an Awakened One? ”
The captain nodded, "That's right, he won Sister Li in the Battle of Divine Will, and he will definitely be promoted to a second-order warrior." ”
Hongjuan cursed in the language of her previous life.
"Now you understand why I left you alone, do you?" The captain threw away the burning stick, stood up and clapped his hands. "You are my confidant and the strongest samurai in the team besides me. I believe in your strength, so I trust you with confidence. She walked up to the red cuckoo, "Listen, I want you to take care of the sisters on my behalf, never let them act alone, and each group must ensure that there are two second-order warriors when grouping." Once you find that bamboo pole, you must kill it as soon as possible, before anyone else can do it. ”
"But, captain, you just said that you would try to capture him alive."
"That's for the other chiefs, silly girl. They are indeed loyal, but loyalty does not mean that they can control their mouths. There were many outsiders present when the captive gave the information about the bamboo pole, and the brute was there. If they knew that the man we were dealing with had awakened, they would have deduced that Sister Ori was actually also an Awakened One, a single-rank samurai who refused to be promoted. Do you know what that means? The more the captain talked, the more excited he became, "It means that Sister Li will lose her glory!" It means that the high priest will suspect that we are disrespectful to the Lord God, and it means that all six of us will be arrested and judged by God! ”
The captain reached out and pressed the right shoulder of the red cuckoo, staring into her eyes.
"I've lost too many people today, Red Juan. I don't want to lose any more people. ”
Eventually, she left the captain's tent in a groggy state, carefully avoiding her teammates who were sleeping on the ground, and walked through the small half of the camp to her own campfire. After the daytime battle, the Red Juan's ten-man team, including her, was left with only four people.
"Juan, you're back."
The two of them had fallen asleep, and the awake one was still polishing the bone blade. The affectionate title shows that her relationship with the red cuckoo is more than just friendship.
"Well, it's back. Do you know about the mission tomorrow morning? ”
"Got it," the woman who sharpened her blade shook her head in the direction of the other ten, "listen with them." ”
"And Sister Li, she ......"
"I know too."
The flickering flames reflected their swaying figures on the ground, like a pair of dancing black elves.
"Go to bed early, Tsuru." After the red cuckoo finished speaking, she lay down on her side, thinking about the last two words of the captain's instructions to her.
Yunhe laid down the grinding stone and semi-finished products, and lay down. She clinged to the red cuckoo's back and gently embraced her sage.
"You've got something on your mind."
"Hmm." Bring the sisters back and kill the man.
"Don't want to tell me?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't say."
"Then forget it, don't push yourself too hard."
The red cuckoo felt the hug tighter, and she patted Yunhe's hand. "Cranes?"
"Huh?"
"Sing me a song, I can't sleep."
Yunhe was silent for a moment, then hummed softly. The song she sang was said to come from the memories of a certain third-order samurai's past life, and it was very popular with people.
"The roses are blooming
Roses are beautiful
The roses are like the people of Iraq
People are more charming than flowers
Gaze at the fragrance of the eyes
Flowers and shadows snuggle up to each other
The tenderness of the moonlight is like flowing water
Who does Huameng entrust~"
She sang the lyrics and hummed the tune over and over again until the red cuckoo let out a subtle snoring sound. Yunhe smiled with satisfaction and lightly stamped the woman in his arms.
"May you step into the Promised Land in your lifetime. Good night, my moon. ”
