After an unknown amount of time, Edelweiss, who was lying in Wei Ran's arms, gradually stopped crying, and her breathing gradually became even and long. This cute girl who looked like a child who had not yet grown up actually fell asleep just like that——

She even bit Wei Ran's collar and forgot to let go.

What do you think I am?

Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but he could only continue to hold her like this, carefully enjoying this moment of tranquility that could be called luxury, and also carefully providing some illusory sense of security to the girl in his arms.

While the Soviet mechanical watch on his wrist was tirelessly keeping time, Wei Ran, who was also tired, gradually fell into sleep.

But soon, he woke up again because of the slight movement of the girl in his arms.

"you're awake?"

"Woke you up?"

The two of them asked questions with similar meanings at the same time, and also noticed the extinguished candle lights and a series of explosions that seemed to be faintly transmitted to their ears from a very far distance.

Edelweiss subconsciously wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, then shifted her shoulders to avoid the collar that was wet with her own saliva, and lay in Wei Ran's arms again.

After a slight hesitation, Wei Ran hugged the other person again, a little tighter than before.

"My family is in Graz, Austria. My grandfather has a small farm in the countryside but far away from the town."

Edelweiss almost whispered into Wei Ran's ear as she recalled, "I grew up on that farm since I was a child. My grandfather raised many goats, and he was also a veterinarian."

After saying this, Edelweiss couldn't help but smile, "He is a real veterinarian, not a veterinarian like you who saves and kills people at the same time."

"Is life happy there?" Wei Ran whispered almost as if he was babbling.

"yes"

Edelweiss's voice sounded much happier, "When I was a child, I used to ride my grandfather's goat and compete with his St. Bernard named Adolf.

When competing to reach the highest point of the farm first, I would fall off the goat's back halfway every time."

At this point, Edelweiss couldn't help but hugged Wei Ran tightly, "Although my grandfather was a veterinarian, he would always go out to rescue skiers on a voluntary basis during the winter.

Rescue them from the mountain, treat their wounds, scold them, and provide them with dinner."

"With the Saint Bernard named Adolf?"

Wei Ran couldn't help but ask, "I also have a dog. It's a Caucasian. His name is Beria."

"That Beria from the Soviet Union?" Edelweiss asked with a smile.

"Do you still know him?"

"Of course I know. My grandfather said that he was a man who was not easy to mess with. He was very lucky that he was not sent to prison by that gentleman, otherwise he might have to spend 120 years in prison before he could get out."

At this point, Edelweiss brought the topic back, "My grandfather's Saint Bernard doesn't bring whiskey to rescue people. It is really good at catching mice on the farm."

"Are you homesick?"

Wei Ran asked softly, and then he noticed that hot tears fell from the corners of the girl's eyes and hit his neck.

"Um"

Edelweiss responded vaguely, but at the same time, she subconsciously hugged Wei Ran tighter, absorbing the sense of security she desperately needed.

"you..."

"I miss my grandfather, my parents, and my younger brother. He is only 11 years old and the same age as Rama.

I still miss the dog named Adolf. As soon as I go back, he will lick my face crazily and spin in circles and wag his tail crazily."

Edelweiss murmured to herself, "But I can't just leave, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"Actually, you can't change anything," Wei Ran sighed, "I can't change anything either."

"I know"

Edelweiss straightened up and wiped the corners of his eyes carelessly, "But someone has to do something, right? We may not be able to change anything, but we at least saved a lot of people. As you said, we can at least give them half a life.

Hours."

"Did I say that?"

"You said it," Edelweiss said stubbornly, "when you were doing preliminary treatment for the seriously injured."

"Maybe I said that" Wei Ran smiled.

"The extra half hour of survival may allow them to receive further treatment, which is the difference between life and death for them."

There was a smile on Edelweiss' delicate and protective face again, "So you see, we can still change something."

"Maybe, maybe we really changed something."

Wei Ran murmured to himself, but his mind was filled with those tragic fates that he could not change.

"I want to try again." Edelweiss suddenly changed the subject.

"What?" Wei Ran, who didn't react for a moment, asked.

But what responded to him was Edelweiss lying in his arms again, and another clumsy kiss that he was not prepared for.

After some dull confusion and struggle, the original one-way request finally yielded a proactive response.

Maybe it was a moment, or maybe a long time passed. After a brief taste that was still unfinished, the two people who did not want to be matched by their desires held the bottom line with difficulty and tacit understanding and stopped.

"Can you tell me your secrets?"

Edelweiss twisted her body into a comfortable position where she wouldn't be hit, and lay in Wei Ran's arms again and asked softly, "The secrets of suicide that make you despair."

"I..."

Wei Ran couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously hugged the girl in his arms tightly in the darkness.

After a long silence, he finally whispered hoarsely into the other person's ear, "When I first participated in the war, I met a little girl. She was probably not as old as Rama.

When I met her, she probably hadn't eaten or drank water for a long time, and she couldn't even speak."

"Did you save her?" Edelweiss, who also hugged Wei Ran tightly, asked subconsciously.

"No," Wei Ran sighed, "she saved me..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the dark cab, Wei Ran confided in the opponent's ear his regrets and guilt about the battle, confiding in him even though he was facing his most difficult situation.

A painful secret that even close family members cannot tell.

He also talked about the friends hidden deep in his memory, and of course, the enemy he killed with his own hands for the first time.

When he is held in his arms, or when Edelweiss is also holding him, she is more like a qualified listener.

She just listened quietly and comforted her gently, but did not ask about any details that Wei Ran didn't want to talk about or didn't dare to recall.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Ran's voice became increasingly blurry, and he entered dreamland again as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

After kissing Wei Ran gently again, Edelweiss lay in his arms with peace of mind and murmured a promise, "I will help you keep those secrets, and I will also help you share the pain.

ensure."

After saying that, this angel-like girl also closed her eyes.

She didn't notice in the darkness that just when she was making the promise, a tear had slipped down from the corner of Wei Ran's eye and lightly hit her pale golden hair.

During this short night, Wei Ran slept more soundly than ever before. When he woke up, he subconsciously thought he had returned home, to a time and space he was more familiar with.

But soon, he was brought back to a certain level of "reality" by his numb legs and the fragrant edelweiss still sleeping in his arms.

Listening to the slight sound coming from behind, as well as the occasional shadow of a child flashing in the rearview mirror and the light of a candle lamp, Wei Ran gently patted Edelweiss, bringing her back to reality from her dream.

After a brief period of confusion, Edelweiss finally realized that she was still lying in Wei Ran's arms, and her cheeks turned pink in a very short time.

Fortunately, because the light was dim, she believed that Wei Ran would not see her distress.

"The children are already up," Wei Ran reminded softly.

After coming back to her senses, Edelweiss leaned forward again and kissed Wei Ran, then whispered into his ear, "Can you continue to tell your secrets tonight?"

"If you will listen"

Wei Ran also responded in the other person's ear, and by the way also took away the empty wine bottle that was thrown into the driver's seat last night.

"As long as you don't come back so late"

Edelweiss said, and with the help of Wei Ran, she carefully returned to the driving position - her legs were also numb.

They stretched out in unison, and after stretching her sore legs and feet, Edelweiss took advantage of the children to go to the yard behind the garage and was the first to open the door, get out of the car and get into her tent.

"Will she die in the next massacre..."

Wei Ran looked at the petite figure disappearing in the rearview mirror, and painfully asked a question in his heart that no one could answer.

Taking a long breath, he shakily lit a cigarette and took a long drag, then began to think about more pressing matters.

Today is already September 14th, and the 200-kilogram bomb will explode at the Falange headquarters, taking away the chief barrel and the little bit of peace that has just sprouted.

After waiting for the cigarette to burn out, he picked up the small bag containing the collected belongings at his feet before pushing the door and getting out of the car. He stuffed the banknotes, rings, watches and other items inside into every corner of the car.

.

Finally shaking the scarf that he used as a furoshiki, he also pushed the door and got out of the car. He smiled at each other tacitly with Edelweiss, who had also just changed clothes and walked out of the tent. One walked to the small yard behind the garage, and the other walked into the house that had been waiting all night.

Return tent.
