A knight lifted the cover to reveal the cage below, and a bird covered in beautiful blue-green feathers was standing tall in the cage, a pair of glass-beaded eyes opened vigorously, and it flapped its wings from time to time, rattling and rattling, as if it couldn't wait to break out of the cage.

"Leader, there is not much time left until the moonsong bird chirps, and it's time to eat. The knight put the cloth back on and ran to Skag's side to report.

"Well, let's get the head chef started," Skag took a sip of the wine from the bottle, which was already cold and bitter in the cold, "In this kind of place, you can't even drink it well, tell everyone, you go eat first, I'm not hungry." ”

"Hey, isn't the leader eating?" the knight looked a little surprised.

"Anyway, I guess I've been affected by what I saw today, and I'm a little out of appetite," Skag shook the bottle, and less than half of the wine was left in the bottle with a gurgling sound, "I'll rely on this thing to deal with it first." ”

"But......" the knight looked a little hesitant.

"Don't worry about my mother-in-law, I don't want everyone to go hungry because I'm waiting for me, go ahead, don't say yes in front of me, if you're really worried about me, tell the chef to help me heat another glass of wine." ”

"I see. With that, the knight walked towards the makeshift tent.

The sound of rustling sounded behind me, as subtle as the wind blowing through the leaves, and it was not easy to detect.

"I can be kind of aware of your approach this time," said Skag to Rhine, who was standing behind him, "What's the matter, I came back so late, the other knights have been back from the town for a long time, and I haven't seen you alone, and I thought you were really lost like a child." ”

"No kidding," said Rhine, still in a cold tone, "but there was a little blockage in my heart, so I went to a quiet corner and was alone." ”

"Yes, I'm quite confused," said Skag, "it's almost time to eat, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime meal for our supply troops, so it's okay if you don't eat it." ”

"It doesn't matter, what about you. ”

"Me too," said Skag, "then, since we both don't want to go to dinner, let's pass the time by chatting," he said, holding up the bottle in his hand to Rhine's eyes, "how about you take a sip too." ”

"No, I hate sharing things with other people," said Rhein, "and where the hell you come from to talk about so much." ”

"Then I'll pick you up this time," Skag shrugged his shoulders and continued to drink after seeing that Rhein was not interested in his own wine, "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative to talk to others. ”

"yes. Rhine whispered, he looked up, the original bright starry sky has not been out for a long time, until now, above those 10,000 meters, there is only a vast gray sky, as if the whole sky is covered by haze, revealing an indescribable desolation and frustration.

Yes, I won't take the initiative to say goodbye, that's my principle, Rhine thought to himself.

But...... It didn't seem to be all the same, and he took the initiative to speak to the cherry-haired girl, although it was because of the mission.

"Let's make an exception today. Rhine said suddenly.

"Hey, did you just say something?" Skag, who had already been silent in response to Rhine's attitude, turned his head in surprise.

"Nothing," said Rhine, unwilling to repeat the sentence a second time, which would seem pointless, "to ask you a little question." ”

"Questions?"

"In such a poor environment, would anyone be willing to give up food? ”

"What kind of joke are you talking about," said Skag, "it's not like you haven't seen people snatching food, it's like hell, you can see from the expressions on their faces, if you look closely, you can see that those people are eating the food they have been craving, their faces are only hideous, and there is no room in their hearts for the so-called human affection," Skag was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his voice, " But ah, I've been thinking that even in this situation, there must be, there must still be such a possibility, and that is the only possible emotion for those people. ”

"Possibility?" Rhein looked at Skag, Skag's face was slightly reddened, it must have been affected by the light of the fire in the distance, after all, this person is not the kind of person who can get drunk.

"You think, the people who survived the war, that is, those who live in poverty all day long, they must be people who have lost their families, they have lost everything, so I think they don't have anything to make them have emotions, but there must be some people who have the last emotion that hasn't disappeared, even if it's hard, it will definitely take root in their hearts," Skag scratched his head and frowned, as if trying to organize the language," Skag scratched his head and frowned, as if trying to organize the language," Are you a little incomprehensible, that, I'm a rough person, not very good at saying any flowery rhetoric, what I want to say is, it's that possibility, it's family affection, yes, it's blood thicker than water, you think, those people are already helpless, so they don't need to have feelings for anything else, but those lucky ones have one or two relatives who haven't left them, that can be said to be their last spiritual pillar, so they will definitely cherish it more than before the disaster, if you have to have the kind of hungry but let go of food, there must only be your own relatives。 ”

"Let me tell you my story, it's not very exciting," continued Skag, "and I was unfortunate enough to be one of the people who stood on the battlefield in that war that everyone knows, because as long as you stand on the battlefield, you have to be prepared for death and the bad news of the death of your loved ones, and I was relatively young at that time, with my mother and father and a younger brother. ”

"Brother?"

"Yes, it's my brother, but it's dead, with my mother," said Skag. My hometown is not in the imperial capital, but in a small remote town, in the opposite direction of our troops' advance, that place has also been swept away by the war, and has become as miserable as this town, I have returned home once because of the transfer of troops, my mother and brother seem to be looking for food, they were killed by others, those people are also people who also crave food, my mother is a very strong person, and my brother is also a very sensible child since childhood, they must have been unwilling to hand over the food they got because they insisted on protecting the food they got, and those people had to beat them both to death。 ”

"Where's my father?"

"My dad is an out-and-out drunkard, my ability to not get drunk can be regarded as inheriting his only advantage, when my mother and brother died, my dad has been nesting at home, holding the few wine bottles he hid, sleeping on the bed with a drunken look, so when I came home, I gave my dad a hard fart, I pointed to his nose and said loudly, I said are you still a man, are you still a father, you leave your wife and children alone, let them go to the cold and danger to find food, but you are at home and do nothing, they are dead, you know, It's because you're good for nothing that they die, you know, as a man, shouldn't you stand up when your own woman is in danger, and as a father, shouldn't you come out to protect your son when he's in danger, but what you've done, you haven't done anything, you're a waste. ”
