Drift [Gone with the Wind Drift Doujin BL]

"Don't you hate everything in the South? Mr. Lincoln helped you a lot." Scott poked him on the sore spot deliberately.

"I don't hate a bunch of idiots, baby, otherwise what would I be like?" Rhett's mouth curled up, but there was no smile in those dark black eyes.

He thought of many past events that were buried deep in his memory and he did not want to recall.

He remembered his mother's tearful entreaty: "Your father is the king of Charleston, he has 360 screen apprentices, [-] slaves, and [-] horses, but he has only two sons, and one of them Mess up and kill at any moment...why can't you play by the rules, Rhett?"

He thought of himself at that time and said resolutely: "My father is the top man in Charleston, a well-behaved old-fashioned gentleman, a rich farmer and a powerful councilor, but I am not. Dear mother, I am so far The only thing I learned was not to be like my father, and that's what every son has to learn."

He thought of the large, stately colonial house in his hometown, the wide driveway paved with oyster shells in front of the house, the hot, humid air and dense fog in Charleston, the fertile black soil covered with white cotton, he thought of it. Thinking of the agricultural associations and parliamentary debates that his father was passionate about, he thought of the hometown that made him nostalgic, and the arrogance, conservatism and stubbornness that were disgusting in the hometown.

He thought of his father's trembling hands and his disheartened words, he thought of his father's slack eyes burning with anger.He remembered his father's categorical declaration: "The Butlers are an ancient and noble family, proud of their faithful wives, dutiful children, and respected patriotic citizens. But one of our proud bloodlines An offshoot of evil, with a rebellious element, my own father is one of them, he is the executioner of the devil... Today, there is another rebellious offspring in the Butler family, a self-righteous youth. His elders He just doesn't take the behavior that he thinks is acceptable. And he wants to rush to the behavior of the elders who regard it as a scourge. When the parents have nothing to do, they send the child to West Point, but the iron-like discipline of the West Point Military Academy can't restrain him. After this kid was expelled, he degenerated into a complete slut, first made the belly of the girl from the lower class bigger, then ruined the reputation of the girl from the good family, and even shot her brother to death in a duel..."

He thought of the silver knife his father used to sharpen the quills, the splash of ink on the glossy walnut frame, the effort of his father to scratch his son's name—Rhett Butler—from the family Bible.He remembered his father's last words: "Since you no longer have anything to do with the Butler family, sir, you can leave now."

Rhett's two long thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, incomprehensible anger, unresolved unwillingness, cynical anxiety, hurt self-esteem and insulted pride flashed on that bronze statue-like face in turn.At this moment, he took off the protective shell of laughing, cursing, cynicism, and fully revealed the complex and contradictory inner world.

Although it was only a few seconds, it was enough to shorten the distance between the two.

It turns out that this fearless prodigal and speculator also has a fragile side and a complicated and soft heart.

Scott held up those strong dark hands and held them tightly with his own slender white hands.Rhett didn't even sneer or raise an eyebrow.

"Wear a mask all day, and take it off once in a while to get some air, Rhett."

"I will return the original words to you who have facial paralysis at a young age, baby."

At this moment, the two sympathetic people who are not understood by the world draw the strength from each other to keep going.

Although the road ahead is getting tougher and longer.

For the Southern Confederacy, whose agriculture was the mainstay industry, its weak industry could not guarantee a reliable supply of weapons and ammunition needed by the army, and even the supply of military uniform supplies was a problem.The survival of the Confederate government thus depended largely on imports of vital war materiel.The Lincoln administration was equally aware of this.Therefore, after the war broke out, the Federation immediately began to implement a blockade of the coast of the Confederate area.

On April 1861, 4, six days after the fall of Fort Sumter, President Lincoln declared a naval blockade of the southern states.That's where Scott and Ritter came in.

"It's good to tighten the blockade, so it's exciting enough." Rhett said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The heart beats to the throat, the hair stands on the arms, and the blood flows faster in the blood vessels. This feeling is for me. 50 yuan, no, 50 gold coins are not exchanged."

"And I'm just the opposite. You take risks for the sake of taking risks, and I take risks for not taking risks." Scott said lightly, "For me, the struggle now is for the comfort of the future. We praise 'Struggle', but I struggle so hard today, isn't it just so that I don't have to struggle one day in the future?"

Rhett muttered something in a low voice, but Scott didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't pursue it, so the words dissipated in the sea breeze on the Charleston pier.

Rhett whispered: "I want to fight for you."

The temperature of the boy's palm seemed to remain in his hand after a long time.

When Rhett ordered bacon, fried eggs, and oatmeal, the waiter said very apologetically, "We have to charge twice as much, Captain Butler, and things are getting more and more expensive now!"

Scott handed a gold coin to the waiter, and Rhett put on a serious face and cursed: "Damn robbers who smuggled the blockade! Damn speculators!"

The coffee in Scott's mouth spewed out in a radial pattern. He quickly wiped the coffee from his mouth with a handkerchief and complained, "Tell jokes while I'm drinking coffee, Rhett, what a waste of coffee!"

This time it was Rhett's turn to laugh.Scott stuffed a slice of orange into Rhett's open mouth: "Gums bleed for a lack of fruit and vegetables at sea."

Scott watched as Rhett sliced ​​ham and eggs gracefully, swift and fluid, like a beast ready to go.He then reports to Rhett about his sister and mother.After learning that her sister had given birth to twin daughters, Rhett said: "I envy my sister for her son and daughter."

Scott said disapprovingly: "You will be a father sooner or later." He remembered Li Ruite's doting on his daughter in the original book, and smiled knowingly, "It needs to be noted that you must not spoil your daughter into a devil in the world."

"I've heard a woman is needed for this project. Daughter or something is out of the question, at least not in this life. How many times will it take me to remember, Scott, I've said I'm an unmarried man .”

"As a tall, handsome, and rich man, how many famous ladies are attracted to you? You have the absolute right to choose them, even a German countess..."

Rhett couldn't help laughing out loud: "German countess? God, they are more serious than you, I won't get myself into trouble! I'm past the age of being crazy and stupid for a woman, Scott .”
