Chapter 17: The Heart of the Devil

Time starts to get slow.

Hongyun took an empty wine bottle in his hand and looked at it over and over for a long time.

The turtledove didn't urge him, and ate the cut steak one by one.

Peso stood behind the turtledove, looking boredly at the young man across from the turtledove.

The young man named 'Red Cloud' had a fair face, and he hadn't experienced much wind and rain at first glance. Soft hairs had just grown on his lips, making him look even more youthful and immature, like an innocent lamb.

How could a person like this be an opponent of a turtledove?

Peso could understand Redcloud's struggle, but he was sure that in the end he would make the decision 'autonomously' and ask Turtledove to help him become a chieftain.

……

"Turtledove, from the moment I saw you at the foot of Mount Braque, I knew that you were a good man!" Hongyun suddenly put down the wine bottle and spoke.

"Huh?" The turtledove paused for a moment, then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

"Later, I asked others about you, and there is not a single thing you have done in the south that I don't want to do! I follow your example, so to speak, turtledove! ”

"You've won the prize, Red Cloud. You're good too! Turtledove said vigorously.

This young man doesn't seem to be as impulsive as he seems, huh?

"No, turtledove! I am sincere, and I see you as my mentor, my brother, my guide! Hongyun said.

Turtledove put down his knife and fork and looked at the red cloud.

For the first time, he noticed that the reckless and naïve teenager in front of him seemed to be different from the one he knew before.

"Ikaruga, I want to ask you, if you were me, what do you think I should do?" Hongyun sat up straight and asked with a serious expression.

……

"Hmm......"

Things were a little out of plan, and Ikaruga couldn't help but hesitate.

Originally, he thought that a young man like Hongyun would easily fall into his trap and take the initiative to ask himself to send troops to take the position of chief for him.

The atmosphere is almost baked, and even the turtledove has already arranged for people to go to the Oglara tribe in advance, and now they are waiting for an order.

However, now it seems that the red cloud is ...... A little too naïve?

Ask yourself for advice?

Oh my God, what a pure little sheep must have asked the big bad wolf how to cook himself?

"Red Cloud, can you elaborate on that?"

Ikaruga twisted his butt in his seat and said.

……

"My father, he's a ruthless old bastard!"

Hongyun spoke: "He robbed countless tribes when he was young, and under his sword, he never left a living mouth. Even my mother was robbed by him, and my grandfather died under his knife. ”

"I used to have five older brothers and two younger brothers, but for as long as I can remember, they have died one after the other. Some died of disease, some were killed by the enemy, and my father never shed a tear for them. ”

"He's a stubborn old stubborn and bad-tempered man, and he's never been nice to me. Growing up, I don't know how many times I was beaten, no matter what reasoning I told him, he didn't listen, just beat me. I never even saw him smile. ”

"Well, these things are just short of parents, how can a father not beat his son, right? I used to blame him when I was a kid, but now I don't care, it's a big deal to run away from home, and he can't catch up with me. ”

"However, I really can't bear to watch the Oglala tribe slowly decline in his hands!"

"I don't care about him at all, even if he dies, it doesn't matter to me!"

"When he was younger, he supported the Resistance, and when John Fremont came, he gradually abandoned the Resistance and joined Fremont's camp!"

"He stuck to the traditions of the Seven-Colored Flame Council, holding groggy meetings with a bunch of old men who didn't know how to go, and giving orders that were useless and no one would listen to them."

"He couldn't see clearly, the Oglala tribe—no, the entire Grand Sioux Alliance, under the leadership of an old man like him, was inevitably sliding into the abyss, flying to death."

"What the Horde needs is to fight, not to compromise!"

"Fremont picked a handful of brightly colored mushrooms for them to eat, and now they were all reveling in the illusion of calm and calm, unaware that their death was near!"

"The Apache people in the south are our example!"

"I'm miserable, turtledove!"

"I don't want to kill my father, but - the Oglara tribe is in his hands, sooner or later there is only a dead end!"

……

What a fool!

You don't want to kill your father, but your father, Oglala, he wants to kill you.

And he didn't want to be infamous as a tiger poison eater, he lent me a knife and wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone!

Turtledove said in his heart.

You feel that your father is leading the tribe to death, but your father also feels that the tribe will be destroyed by you sooner or later.

In the midst of the lightning, many words of discord jumped out of the turtledove's heart.

He can easily support Red Cloud to the top.

In that way, he will easily get the support of the Oglara tribe.

It's just that...... Why ...... Yourself Hesitating? What are you hesitating about?

……

"Father-killing?" The turtledove did not hold the knife and fork in his hand for a moment, and the knife and fork landed in the cup and plate with an exaggerated crisp sound.

"Oh my God, Hongyun, how did you come up with the idea of killing your father? I never said that I would let you kill your father? If a person doesn't even love his parents, is he still a person? The turtledove looked at the red cloud in shock.

Hongyun's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he looked at the turtledove at a loss.

"Red Cloud, our enemy is white, not your father!" Turtledove said to Red Cloud earnestly.

……

"So what should I do? Turtle dove? ”

"You are my mentor, my brother, and I see you as the guide of my life! Please tell me, what should I do? ”

……

"Don't worry, Red Cloud!"

"Don't worry, I'll fix it, I won't make you feel embarrassed."

Ikaruga asked Peso to reopen the last bottle of wine in the headmaster's cupboard and handed it to Red Cloud.

"Young people, they should look like young people!"

"You should be upright and righteous, not frightened by difficulties, and not bow to evil! Hold on to the faith in your heart! ”

"Stand up straight, walk well!"

"Don't go down those crooked ways, don't let the demons in your heart control you!"

"Do something, and don't do something!"

……

After watching Hongyun breathe again, he lay down under the table, and the turtledove silently wiped the food scraps on the tablecloth. The palms of his hands were faintly sweating.

There is only one way to go.

That was to talk to Oglala the way he liked.

"Peso, eat the rest of the food, don't waste it!" Turtledove said surgingly.

He walked to the window and shouted out of the window:

"Waterwheel, get ready to work!"
