The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Eva heard them arguing outside, but couldn't make out what they were arguing about.She hesitated whether to go in and try to persuade the fight, because their voices sounded too angry, and she was afraid that they would say something that would make the other party sad and make herself regret it.

Suddenly, Grace came out of the house.He looked very bad, his eyes were straight and he walked forward with a dull head, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.Eva followed him quickly, but Grace spun into the next bedroom and locked the door.

Eva hesitated, thought for a while and ran back, wanting to ask Alan Stone what happened, but saw the rebellious man squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, his shoulders trembling.

At this time, there was a heart-piercing wail from the next door, so shrill that it hardly seemed like a human being could make a sound.Eva covered her chest in shock, but Alan Stone had already jumped up and rushed out.

He slapped the door anxiously, twisting the handle at the same time, then drew his gun and aimed at the lock again, but it was out of bullets.Alan Stone dropped the gun, leaned his shoulders and slammed into the door several times before he finally knocked it open.

Only then did Eva understand why he was so anxious—Grace was lying flat on the ground, her eyes staring at the ceiling.Fortunately, his chest was still slightly heaving, showing that he was still alive.

Alan Stone took two steps into the room, knelt down with weak legs, propped his hands on the ground, and tears flowed from his eyes.He felt himself back on the battlefield, crying bitterly, while William sternly ordered him to stand up, mount his horse, and go back!

"It was originally agreed to retreat together, but General Verrick has already taken the main force away, leaving the left and right wings is useless... It was agreed to come back together, I will retreat first, and he will lead the troops to keep up. Realized he was lying...and he's lying too!...I rode back myself and found him in the trenches and he didn't even want to come back! He scolded me and hit me on the shoulder with the butt of his gun and said I wasted my time , useless, not like a soldier... and hugged me hard again, cheering me up, saying that Grace is in danger and needs me to save..."

"I said you go back, I'll stay! He disagreed... I said let's go together, but he didn't agree. He always has many reasons, because he is older, because he has a high rank, and because he is better at defensive warfare , Because someone has to stay to hold the enemy... Later he said, because he was married, if he went to save Grace, he knew why... Because he loves you, he said it himself, he said, 'I know what kind of love I have for Grace, so I can't go, or I'll be unfaithful to Sia'..."

"I asked him, you will evacuate safely, right? He said he would, he held the enemy, and he will evacuate after we travel two hundred kilometers. I asked him, you didn't lie to me this time, did you? He Said he didn't... Then I caught up with the big troops, and his lieutenant told me that he mobilized in the army the night before, and the soldiers left with him were all voluntary, a group of death squads...he lied again I!"

"I begged him, I said Grace needed you more and the country needed you more...but he lied to me...in the trenches I shouldn't have believed him, I shouldn't have ridden back by myself, I should have brought more Personally, even if he was knocked out and carried away...he held the enemy in check, but the front line was eventually defeated, and the entire border province was occupied...Verik returned with so many soldiers, but did not start a war I surrendered outside the capital, and I only fired a few shots before being restrained by my own people... Everything was in vain, all in vain! Grace, why did I survive! Why didn't I stay in the first place! William Said that you need me more than him, but why does he say that!...I don't even know what you are suffering, is he lying to me again!...Why me? Why me ? If it was William, everyone would be happier..."

Grace rolled over on the ground and lay on her side, clutching a button on her chest, feeling exhausted every time she took a breath.He stretched out a hand to Allen, and Allen rushed over and hugged him tightly.Grace buried her face in Allen's chest, and the two finally cried together for William.
