Since it was Li Lin who took it out from the convoy and distributed it to Roland, the true identity of the food in the cans and backpacks was very clear. The field food that the elves, especially the elves in the military system, loved and hated, and were frightened by.
Waiting for Roland to experience the taste that makes everyone from officers to privates have the urge to hit the wall.
"Uh...it tastes a bit weird, but it's not too bad."
Holding his nose, he followed the instructions in the manual to cut the meat with a knife and fork. With a nervous and curious mood and a feeling that it would be better to fight to the death than to starve to death, Roland put the [strange thing that looked like meat] into his mouth.
After chewing for a while, he spoke out his thoughts that made the elf who was unfortunate enough to hear it almost vomit it out.
They initially started with this feeling and began a long and arduous journey with "luncheon meat", a horrible substance whose name is best not even mentioned.
In order to solve the dilemma of the army marching with nothing but dried meat and black bread, Li Lin developed field food such as luncheon meat for the army. In terms of portability, quality preservation, and convenience of consumption, it surpassed that of wood.
Air-dried meat is hard, easy to oxidize, mold and turn into poison. But just like any new product that is ready to be released, a series of experiments are needed before its birth to find a product form that achieves the best consumption ratio under cost control.[
Since it is food, the easiest and fastest way to test it is of course to taste it. As a result, the elf army, from the staff officer to the service soldier, all became glorious victims of Li Lin, the great pioneer of the military food revolution.
The upright rat in the horror food test.
Although Li Lin's cooking skills are only one of the many reasons why he hates luncheon meat, at the first tasting meeting, except for Li Lin who swallowed the sticky stuff without a care, everyone was cooking in the dark.
After the tragic scene of [Glorious Death in Action], the entire army issued a rare and unanimous request: the supreme commander, please do not come closer than 300 meters to the kitchen no matter what the circumstances.
[Eating from the cafeteria stove costs money, eating the colonel’s dinner costs your life!] - Most of the reports submitted were because it was not enough to write such treacherous words in bright red fonts, and they were also covered with blood-red handprints to emphasize discipline.
System and hierarchy, for the elf armed force that aims to develop into a regular national defense force. This kind of thing is really unprecedented.
After that, after being cooked by professional cooks and improved according to the opinions of the troops, the final product finally tasted much better. What Roland was tasting now was a successful food that composed a hymn of loyalty at the expense of a large number of elves on the street.
Unaware of the various tragic backgrounds, his uncultured compliments while eating made the elves watching the video from afar show expressions of distress that only those suffering from hemorrhoids would have.
The lethality of [canned weapons of mass destruction], [spiritual meat], [separated meat], and [certain type of suspected meat] would not be known to Roland until later. After eating one-third of the canned meat, the boy
Put the flipped and twisted iron sheet back on. Put the thing with the elf language [butter] written on the bag back into your bag. Keep in mind your father's teachings of [don't eat too much] and avoid two tragedies - tasting margarine.
The horrible smell and the elves who could barely hold on anymore vomited out their breakfast.
After having breakfast, drinking water, and preparing to plan his next move, Roland was stunned.
What should we do? Where should we go?
Facing the first time in his life, it was also an extremely important decision at the moment. The boy's thinking fell into a stalemate that was difficult to advance or retreat. His cute big purple eyes looked around at the empty bushes and woods, and occasionally there was one or two birdsong and beast roars.
, dazed in confusion.
First of all, he couldn't determine where he was. Since he could remember, Roland rarely acted independently outside the living circle of Bode Village. Li Lin was in a coma the whole time he took him to the motorcade camp. If he could be like a sailor,
You can also use constellations to determine your position as a grain of dust on the vast earth. Or if you have a map and compass in your backpack, things will be easier. But Leonardo passed away before he could impart this knowledge to Roland.
And Li Lin used special means to control Roland's whereabouts and every move. Roland could find him wherever he went. In addition, he didn't think that a 5-year-old child could cooperate with a compass to read a map, so he was unprepared.
Even if you have this necessary knowledge, the corresponding meaning is actually quite limited.
The boy who has lost his place has no idea where to go or what to do.
There are no parents, no relatives, friends or elders that I know, and there is no one with whom I can talk, discuss or even quarrel and get angry. It seems that only myself is left in the empty world who doesn't know what to do and feels confused and powerless.
No. The purpose exists. It is an indelible goal that cannot be forgotten even in a dangerous environment.
【Defeat Siegfried Otto Lilin.】
Anger that is close to killing is gushing out, and the pure face seen in religious oil paintings is distorted by the intense anger. The terrifying face that makes people marvel and heartbreak is aimed at the black hair who makes a cute expression in a three-headed posture on the brochure.
The character stepped down hard.
[Only this man... is absolutely unforgivable! I will never let him go! 】
The words of sworn revenge were recited silently in the heart. After the perspective shifted slightly, the anger quickly extinguished and was replaced by a feeling of emptiness and humiliation.
No matter how resentful I am, I hate that man, and even want to grit my teeth and throw away his charity, starving to death is also a so-called intense thought. But at this moment, the supplies provided by Li Lin, and the provocative and contemptuous words when parting were unknowingly.
It became the most important motivation for Roland to persist in survival.
There is absolutely no intention of intervening in good faith, and the result caused by calculation and hatred is inexplicably tinged with a hint of human warmth. This situation no longer makes outside observers feel funny or sad.[
The irony of the situation was conveyed to the hearts of the two people involved who didn't care or knew anything about it. Roland stepped on the pamphlet and reluctantly dusted off the shoe prints, and put the "Wild Survival Tips" back into his bag.
After finishing packing, Roland once again carried his slightly lighter luggage and took steps in a different direction from Li Lin and the convoy.
The short stick attached to the belt rubbed against the skin while walking, causing an uncomfortable feeling. The uncomfortable and awkward feeling seemed to be mocking Roland. As a child, his emotions and behavior were so contradictory and futile in the face of reality.
Without relying on Li Lin's things, Roland would have collapsed in a deserted wilderness in less than a day and become dust returning to the earth - such a harsh reality cannot be denied or defended. On the other side of the situation is the hateful smiling face.
Bowing down is not only using the food, water, and weapons provided by Li Lin, but also dying for inexplicable reasons after not being able to survive for 7 days. This is also a disguised acceptance of Li Lin's conclusion that he is not optimistic about him. It is different from bowing down and begging him to lend a helping hand.
Not big.
There is only one choice: no matter how difficult and painful it is, no one will listen to Roland's cries and complaints. Whether it is relying on Li Lin's food or eating any disgusting food, Roland can only survive these seven days.
With unnoticed contradictions and stubborn resistance, Roland chose to move towards the west.
My father once mentioned that there is an invisible sea to the west of Lapland. The coastal area was once a nest of pirates. With the rise of maritime trade in recent years, the ports where ships from other countries berthed gradually prospered and developed into
In cities, all kinds of people gather there.
The definition of the word "prosperity" and the scene it depicts have not yet taken shape in Roland's understanding, but the concept of "many people" is quite clear, and it is what Roland needs.
In order to get rid of loneliness, and also to spread the news, the true face of Ve Company and Li Lin's evil deeds were exposed to the world.
Such thoughts flashed through my head. When the pleasure of revenge flowed through my body, I could vaguely smell the sweet and light body fragrance in my nose, the touch of my body, and the palms that soothed my soul. There was nothing pretentious or solemn about it.
Just a pure and gentle smile is almost the same as——
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. That woman is an elf or a subordinate of Li Lin. How is it possible! How is it possible, how is it possible..."
His voice suddenly dropped. The struggle of "How could he be like his mother" rolled in his chest and he couldn't say it out. He knew clearly that Brunhil was protecting, taking care of, and comforting himself. He knew that there was no trace of gloom in the elf woman's investment in him.
His pure kindness, but the irritability and anger rooted in his heart did not allow him to accept that kindness, and stubbornly resisted the care from Brunhil.
"She must be nice to me because of Li Lin's order. Yes, how can an elf be friendly to humans? It was the same before, pretending to be a human to deceive everyone..."
The murmurs of persecution and confused expressions were all returned to Li Lin and Brunhil. Needless to say, the legal guardians had ulterior motives and lacked sensibility. Roland's words really made the elf girl who positioned herself as an "adoptive mother" understand.
When parents who are full of expectations find that their children fall far short of their expectations, they feel deeply disappointed and sad, which triggers emotions similar to anger.
Brunhil experienced the troubles of being a mother for the first time.
"I really hope he can become sensible as soon as possible and not continue to be a [rebellious Roland], Major - that's what I hope. However, things have to be done step by step. The world cannot be changed in a day. Children also need to be reformed and corrected.
time."
Fingers tapped on the table, and under the monotonous rhythm, what came into Brunhil's sight was a calm, business-like smile filled with fatherly love and concern.
"It's not easy to pull him out of the corner of his mind. Let's be patient."
Father's love was spoken in the tone of observing the sample record on the inside of the insect cage. Even though it was a very correct and reprehensible statement from his standpoint, Brunhil could still detect the violation in it, and then he felt uncomfortable.
.
"Colonel...don't you like Roland?"
Unable to bear the sour feeling and inexplicable impulse, almost stupid questions echoed in the tent.
Does Li Lin like Roland? To be more specific, when Li Lin paid attention to educating Roland, did he have any emotion that could be called "father's love" injected into him?
The answer is clear: no.[
Until now, there is no element of love in Li Lin's performance. Similarly, after experiencing the tragedy in his life, Roland has no emotion other than hatred for Li Lin.
In such a state, it is impossible for any normal emotional connection to develop between the two.
"He has the power of revenge against me. I need his help to complete some things, that's all."
Qing Feng lamented and stated the facts plainly, not to cater to or show sympathy. Just "need" is enough as a reason. Sadness and sighs have no room for talking in the face of grand plans and actions.
"The world is not so easy that deep-seated hatred can be forgotten in a blink of an eye, and that child is not a coward who deceives himself to escape reality, so——"
"Don't invest your emotions in objects that are destined to have no results? This kind of education is destined to only teach extreme people. Roland may not grow up as you expected, Colonel."
Brunhil entered the topic lightly, and the tent fell into silence. There were regular shouts of numbers and passwords outside, filling the awkward air with a strong background sound of a military camp.
For the past five years, I have been by Li Lin's side, silently watching the back of him who took on everything alone. Even if he never got a response to his love, as long as I could be with him and accompany him, I would be happy.
You will feel satisfied.
But I don’t know since when, Brunhil hoped that Li Lin could show more emotions.
After Roland, Li Lin also showed a slight deviation from his expectations. He was disappointed and expressed unrefuted thoughts and doubts in a calm and angry tone.
"Colonel, you can't get into the same trap as Roland. Please take a closer look at your relationship."
Or should we say that each of them is trapped in completely opposite predicaments at a fundamental level? Do they both fail to notice their own problems and only see the other's problems?
——Roland is too narrow-minded and only cares about his own feelings;
——Li Lin overlooks the overall situation from a high place and ignores the feelings of children.
"Look at things from an overall perspective, strengthen the organization, and promote the smooth progress of the cause - the colonel's perspective and handling methods are indeed correct, but I kindly ask you -"
The maternal emerald eyes that make it difficult for the viewer to look straight and want to lower their head reveal a tone that is inconsistent with the age of this elf girl, a mix of prayer and sadness, and a sincere and soft voice that does not suit the status of a soldier.
issued in time.
"Even a little bit, please show some love to Roland. Plans and strategies alone cannot educate children. Please punish your subordinates if their words are offensive. There are still official matters to be handled outside, please
Please excuse yourself first."
After saluting, the girl hurried out of the tent, and the isolated space was dominated by Li Lin alone and the empty air.
"So that's it, do you still need to give and give before harvesting? It can be included as a reference."
Brunhil's method of wishing touched the mind that was deprived of important functions since birth, and the king who did not understand the human heart spat out an empty conclusion.
