(176) Heart knots

Clarke, the one-eyed dragon, nodded:

"That being the case. So I'll talk about it briefly,

You should know that there are a lot of ruffians who have infiltrated the army and will take advantage of the war to loot the civilian population near the battlefield, but in addition to these cases, decent soldiers will occasionally harm civilians.

Our light cavalry, through years of riding training and combat training, learned to rely on their mounts and sabers in their hands to survive.

Everyone knows very well that you were born in a cruel world where the law of the jungle is the strong, and if you have mercy and don't be ruthless, others will not hesitate to slash you.

As a result, violations of the international laws of war abound in war, such as the mistreatment of prisoners of war......"

Jian Ning interrupted the other party and said, "I don't want to hear you talk about big things, please answer my question directly, have you ever hurt civilians?" Mr. Clark. ”

"Alright! All right! Since you love to get to the bottom of things! Then I'll say it directly!

When I was a soldier, I did hurt civilians! But only once! Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

"I'm interested in your past, Mr. Clark, who did you attack?"

"That unfortunate bastard is a goddamn stupid bitch! She was looking for her own death, and I didn't want to kill her! ”

"Really?"

Clark pressed a hand to his chest, made an oath, and said:

"Madam, although I do look a little scary, we are definitely a decent person!

I dare to swear at the cost of the lives of my wife and unborn child! I'm definitely not lying! Once in all! And I was forced to do it! ”

Janen Winstede noticed that Mr. Clark had his head bowed the whole time he said this.

She realized that her question was like a handful of salt, mercilessly sprinkled into the deep wound of the one-eyed dragon's heart.

At this moment, the veteran lost his rugged and confident image and began to cringe.

(He felt guilty in his heart, it was not good to keep this knot, maybe saying it would make him more relieved.) Janening thought to herself, so she continued to ask:

"Tell me, Mr. Clark, why did you kill innocent civilians?"

"Oh my God! That's all you want to know? The one-eyed dragon's guilt deepened, and he did not dare to look the mistress in the eyes, but lowered his head to the horse's mane, and began to speak in a whisper:

"It was the eve of a major battle, and my unit was given a reconnaissance mission, and at that time it was thousands of meters behind enemy lines.

Just as we dismounted and tried to climb up a mill, ready to condescendingly observe the enemy, a local farmer appeared. ”

"Is this man male or female?" Janine asked.

"It was a tall peasant girl, ma'am,

The guy was tall and strong, with a floral turban tied around his head, a dirty dress, covered in straw and fertilizer, and the smell of cheese.

She was rolling up her sleeves and carrying a large wooden bucket in each hand, full of milk.

As she passed by the side of the mill, she saw the horses tied to portable stakes and us climbing the eaves, and she saw our black military uniforms on our bodies, and quickly realized who we were.

That stupid woman is not as timid as ordinary people,

Ordinary people would have hurried away when they saw the enemy soldiers, but she was different, she immediately threw away the bucket in her hand, spilled the milk all over the ground, and then shouted loudly in her hoarse, pig-like voice:

'There's a Varsta here!' Come on! ’

I was like, fuck! Nasty guys! It took a long time for our team to sneak behind enemy lines, and of course we couldn't let her keep shouting.

So I rode up and caught up with her, trying to seal the stupid woman's big mouth with strips of cloth.

Unexpectedly, this girl had a brute force trained by doing farm work, not only broke free from me, but also bit my left hand with a yellow rotten tooth. The one-eyed dragon raised his left hand: "Madam, look, this scar is still clearly visible." ”

"Terrible wounds!" Jian Ning nodded, "It's so real, I can listen to it fascinated, and then what?" Won't your companions come to help? ”

"! I'm angry when I talk about that! Those ass of mine sit on the eaves and giggle, and they don't come to help when they see me in trouble, they just look at my jokes at that point, what a fucking bunch of silly Xs! ”

Jian Ning scolded with a smile: "Hey! Mr. Clark! Let's talk less swear in the future! You are the captain of the Marquis's house, pay attention to your qualities. ”

The one-eyed dragon slapped himself lightly, "I'm sorry, don't care, madam, I'm used to talking like this, and I scolded a few words unconsciously, not intentionally dirty your ears." ”

"It's okay, go on, you're entangled by that peasant girl, and then what?"

"And then...... The stupid woman screamed even louder, and I knew in my heart that the enemy patrol was nearby, and that she had to be shut up quickly.

I pulled out the curved-bladed saber hanging from my belt, and pressed the tip of the knife against the stupid woman's thick neck, telling her to be quiet, but the stupid girl didn't listen, still yelling, and grabbed the blade, trying to snatch my knife, so she ...... I'm like this......"

As he spoke, Clark, the one-eyed dragon, made a one-handed stabbing gesture, and his movements were extremely standard and capable, and his skills after years of hard work were undoubtedly revealed.

And then ...... Everything was quiet...... My comrades-in-arms said I did a good job...... But when I looked at the corpse lying on the ground, I felt very uncomfortable......

I've fought so many battles, and I've had a lot of dead souls, all of them killed in a dignified duel on the battlefield, and I've never killed an unarmed civilian, except for that once, only that once! I'll never forget! ”

The more the one-eyed dragon spoke, the more excited he became, and his whole body began to tremble slightly, and he muttered:

"I really don't want to kill her! She was the one who found her own death! Damn stupid! What to shout? Wouldn't it be okay to keep your mouth shut!"

Janening looked at the veteran in front of her with pity, and she put a fair, slender hand out of the window lattice of the carriage, took Mr. Clark's large, rough hand, and kissed it softly in front of her.

"This kiss is to reward you for being honest, Mr. Clark, this must have bothered you for years, thank you for confiding in me, it shows that you really trust me."

The one-eyed dragon Clark froze for a moment, then hurriedly retracted his hand and looked at the bright red lip prints on his rough skin:

"Oh...... Madam...... Other! Don't kiss this hand! My hands are dirty! I'm using it to kill innocents! The honor of our servicemen has been tarnished!

I've always wanted to forget about it!

I've tried the drunken method, but it didn't work, and this damn memory has tormented me all the time! “
