"Levi bg" has a three-inch heart, you are faith
Chapter 11☆、11
The sun was shining today and the sky was fine. Leila dragged me around the streets, bought some food here and there, and then walked slowly to the barracks with my things.
Next week will be No.40's nine extra-mural investigations, so at the mobilization meeting this morning, Captain Erwin announced that we would have two days off to facilitate our own affairs arrangements.But Leila and I were unaccompanied in this world, and seeing other soldiers returning home in twos and threes, we could only go to the town to relax.
I have roughly talked to Leila about the inner ghost, but I won't go into too much depth.Reassuring, Layla said she would keep it a secret and was happy that I had nothing to hide from her.
I silently rolled my eyes. Sometimes Leila is so stupid that she trusts others so naively.
"Then Evelyn, who do you think the ghost is?" she asked me in a low voice, then glanced at the bustling crowd around her.I saw a faint uneasiness between her brows and eyes. After all, we are aware that the enemy is in the dark, and no one knows what that inner ghost will do that is not good for the Corps.
"...I don't think that person is hiding among the soldiers." Because Captain Erwin will first strictly check the true identities of the soldiers to ensure that no fish slipped through the net. "Although the corps does not seem to be moving at present, I think...the inner ghost should have been caught, but we low-level soldiers have no right to know. The upper-level may do this because they are afraid that this incident will disturb the morale of the army." These were my vacillating guesses. But after a mobilization meeting, I vaguely guessed the identity of the inner ghost, but I couldn't quite believe it.
If I hadn't glanced unconsciously, I wouldn't have noticed that the Gendarmerie badge had fallen into the man's hand.But judging from all the previous signs, his identity is currently the most suspicious, even though he looks so inconspicuous in the Corps.
"Ah? Got caught?" Layla stared at me with wide eyes, puzzled, "What's going on?"
It's not without reason that I think so. Just this morning, Captain Erwin asked all the soldiers to gather on the playground.The tall and straight head of the regiment stood upright on the high platform, and spoke passionately to encourage the soldiers.Although no soldiers booed because of these inspiring words, it was obvious that most people's attention was attracted by the regiment leader.
People like me who hope to "eat and wait to die" will naturally not be inspired by the leader's words. I just look at the leader calmly and silently admire his exquisite and centripetal way of speaking.But more than half an hour after the mobilization meeting, the head of the group seemed to have no intention of disbanding, and I began to feel a little irritated.
In the past, the mobilization meeting was dismissed after the important matters were clearly explained in a concise manner, and then the detailed tasks were explained by the squad leaders, but why is the group leader talking so much nonsense today?For a while, it talked about the precautions for investigation outside the wall, for a while it talked about living up to the expectations of relatives and friends, and for a while it talked about the righteousness of human beings and dedicating their hearts to human beings.But the soldiers actually listened with great interest, and even stared at the regiment leader intently.
Because I wholeheartedly wanted to "look indecent" Levi, I naturally ignored the leader and looked at the high platform carefully, only to find that I didn't see anyone except the leader and a few soldiers.
what happened?Usually, during important meetings in the Corps, the sub-captain Han Ji and the commander would stand next to the regiment commander. Why are there no people today?
At this moment, a soldier with a cropped head hurriedly walked to the head from behind the high platform, and then he whispered something in the head's ear.I saw that the soldier's clothes were a little messy, as if there were signs of a fight.If it is said that this was done during training, I don't believe it, because today there is no training at all, and it can be disbanded after the meeting.
Although I noticed this, I was really too lazy to think about it. The meeting was announced to be dissolved shortly after, and the soldiers went back to the dormitory chattering.Most of the veterans didn't show any emotion, but the recruits of our class were obviously more noisy.The faces of the teenagers and girls still look immature, and the eyes of the veterans are not as calm and composed as the luster.
I yawned and was about to go back. I raised my hand to wipe the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of my eyes. Seeing that the soldiers were gone, I still didn't see the figure of the male god.
Strange, usually he is busy training soldiers or following the head of the regiment to handle official duties, so he will definitely not train any soldiers during the mobilization meeting, and the head of the regiment does not see him. Where did he go?
Thinking of this, I set my sights on Captain Erwin not far away.
I saw the head of the regiment not far away had stepped off the high platform, and the soldier was still standing beside him. At this time, the soldier was still talking to the head of the regiment in a low voice. After saying something, the soldier left alone.
Just when I felt inexplicable, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a change in the expression of the head of the group.Although his expression was the same as usual, the corners of his lips raised an imperceptible arc slightly, and those blue eyes that were as blue as the vast sky gathered a light of wisdom, showing a bit of sharpness.
By the time I realized that something was wrong, it was already after breakfast.
Just imagine, the head of the regiment called all the soldiers for a meeting, but he never allowed them to leave. He didn't disband until his adjutant came to report something. Maybe everyone thought it was just an ordinary mobilization meeting, but anyone who thought about it could guess Some of them are wrong--
Why is the head of this meeting talking more than the previous few times?Why aren't Captain Hanji and Captain Levi by his side?Why are there messy marks on the clothes of the soldier who came to whisper with his eyebrows down?
------------------
Leila and I walked and chatted all the way, and returned to the Corps around noon.Although it is still a bit chilly in March, the sun at noon cannot be too gentle, so in order to avoid direct sunlight, Leila and I chose a road that is almost full of woods along the way.
After walking a short uphill road, Leila and I leaned against the tree trunk to rest. We were just thinking about finding a small restaurant for a meal, when we saw a wooden cart pushing towards the bottom of the uphill slope. What was on the cart? The things were only fixed with a few hemp ropes. Looking carefully, those items were clearly medical supplies such as gauze and medical cotton balls.
The ones pushing the wooden cart are a man and a woman. The man looks to be in his twenties, and the woman is about forty or fifty.
"I said I'll send these things later, but if you insist on sending them now, it's really... so hot." The young man looked up at the sky where the sun was hanging in the air, his mouth full of complaints.
The woman didn't show weakness, and said coldly: "You are so lazy, if you worked harder, maybe we would have lived in a good house long ago, and we don't have to squeeze the broken house left by your dead ghost father!"
"Can you blame me? If it wasn't for that old ghost's early death, I might be a young master now-I say dead old woman, if you can't afford to support me, you might as well not have given birth to me." The young man showed no sign of weakness. I yelled back, and didn't care about Leila and I who happened to be on the same road, "It made me suffer!"
"Huh? Are you talking to my old lady like this? Let me tell you, don't ask me for money when you marry a wife in the future - no! Oh, by the way, you have to pay back the money that my old lady spent on you for so many years!"
"Damn old woman, you know how to ask me for money... It's only natural for you to support me!"
The few of us walked together for a while, and then we realized that the two mothers and sons were sending medical supplies to the Survey Corps.Leila and I, who were traveling together the whole way, watched the two mothers and sons quarrel, and the two of them spoke venomously without showing any weakness, as if they were enemies meeting each other, they were full of resentment, and they were on the verge of fighting.
Probably, the youth is too lazy to make progress, while the mother is greedy for money and mean, in short, they are very realistic.
"Evelyn...can we change directions?" Sister Leila whispered while tugging on my sleeve, she seemed unable to bear the scene of "enemies meet each other with jealousy", "Aren't they mother and son? How could that be?" Just like a stranger...my mother treats me very well, she used to be reluctant to beat me and scold me when she was still alive."
I shook my head with a helpless smile, and then said to her: "There is no other way to get here. Besides, the Survey Corps is not far ahead, and it will be there in about 5 minutes." What does she explain.
Leila can't understand why the most loving mother and son in the world are so discordant, but I know what's going on, because this woman loves money, and in her heart, money is the most important thing, even more important biological son.
The world is extremely materialistic. Without money, it is difficult to move a single step. It is only human nature to care about money.Even the same is true between parents and children, maybe they don't love their children at all, or maybe because they don't love deeply, otherwise, how could there be cases of parents selling their children for money?
From the moment my father forced me to jump off the building, I knew that the person who truly loved me in this world had already passed away—the two old men who went west by crane could no longer protect me under their wings, and from now on I could only on my own.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, but I didn't want to show it, so I could only walk ahead of Leila and try my best to control my emotions.
After so many years of resentment and hatred, my heart should be numb, but I want to believe that those two people must love me deep in their hearts, but the truth likes to slap me hard on the face.Since crying is useless, why should I speak too much?Anyway, I have already come here, the past world has nothing to do with me now, and my life and death have nothing to do with them.
It's enough for me to stay alive here and keep looking up to Levi.
"Stop all of them and hand over the money—"
Just as I was wandering, a fierce shout dragged my thoughts back abruptly.I raised my head, and at some point in front of me, there were three tall and tall men, all of them had fierce faces, and squandered with gleaming silver machetes in their hands.
"What are you doing in a daze, hand over the valuables!" The leading man glared over, Leila and I hadn't made a sound yet, the mother and son were already quite disturbed.
"Hey, do you know that the survey corps is in front of you?" The young man was full of flamboyance, perhaps because he was young and frivolous, "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the soldiers?"
"Bah." The leading man spat, and then put on a sarcasm smile, "I'll just chop you into rotten meat? Don't care about the investigation corps, stop talking nonsense and pay the money!"
"Brother, my son and I are just two peddlers, and we don't have any valuables on us." The middle-aged woman who had been silent all this time suddenly pointed her finger at me and Leila, "These two girls are quite beautiful. of……"
"I fuck you!" I reacted, and then cursed through gritted teeth. Seeing the three men approaching with malicious intentions, I could only shout at the top of my voice, "Don't come over—we You are members of the Survey Corps, if you dare to touch us, be careful that the Survey Corps will not let you go!"
"Pfft ha ha ha ha - I'm not even afraid of the gendarmerie, but also those idiots rushing to reincarnate?" The man pointed at the gleaming machete, "Why don't you follow me for such a beautiful girl? It’s hot, you don’t have to follow that group of garbage to the outside of the wall to serve as rations for giants, and the brothers will make you feel so happy every day, the best of both worlds, right?”
Leila's fair face was full of anger. She seemed to be going to jump over me to fight. Naturally, I held her back. After all, these three men were holding such dangerous weapons. Leila's fight No matter how powerful the technique is, it is impossible to defeat them with bare hands and unscathed, right?
When I was in a hurry to think about the countermeasures, Leila suddenly pushed me and pushed me out of the encirclement: "Evelyn, hurry up and go back to the Survey Corps to find rescue!" Jumping, and then taking advantage of the gap, he kicked a man in front of him heavily.
The man staggered and fell back, and the knife fell to the ground. I watched the two men raise their knives angrily. Leila turned around and avoided the knife nimbly, and then ran quickly to the wooden cart.
"Evelyn, let's go!"
------------------
The moment the murderer came after me, I turned around and ran away.My fighting skills are not great, and I don't have Leila's tenacity and courage. When I think about it afterwards, I always feel ashamed of myself who ran away at that time.
Even after Leila reassured me that I was doing the right thing, my heart couldn't let go of it for a long time.I am weak and incompetent, and I can only be the one who escapes and hides forever.
When I ran to the gate of the legion, I couldn't help but drag the soldier on duty at the gate back, but the soldier looked at me panting blankly, obviously not understanding my plea for help.
"I, we met, we met a robber... Leila, Leila is still there, hurry up and save her!" After finally finishing these words, the soldier realized the seriousness of the situation and urged I led the way, and a cold and familiar voice came in: "Lead the way."
I followed the reputation and saw a familiar figure at a glance - Captain Levi, but I was so tired and out of breath, I could only raise my finger to point to the woods: "The road ahead is big, about 5 minutes, about [-] minutes away ...Soldier, Captain, save her..."
He frowned slightly, glanced at me hastily, and then led the soldier towards the direction I pointed. I could only stand up straight while leaning on the wall, and then chased back without stopping.
If anything happens to Leila because of this, it will haunt me for the rest of my life.She is also the only friend who can be called a best friend in my life for so many years. How can I lose her?
After I followed their footsteps, I saw Levi kick a robber to the ground from a distance, and then punched the No. 2 robber who rushed forward without delay.
Seeing such a powerful rescue field, I was a little relieved, so I hurried to see Leila, the girl had blood on her shoulders, and her sleeves were ripped apart, I was startled, and quickly checked , Only then did I realize that although her wound was shallow, the amount of bleeding was still a little bit, which was obviously cut by a knife.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just got a small cut accidentally, just apply some medicine and it'll be fine." She smiled at me gently, "My father is a local police officer, so I learned some self-defense skills from him when I was young. I can still hide from these people."
"...I, I left you and ran away." For the first time, I felt so scared in my heart, so afraid that something would happen to people other than I cared about.
"You are right, Evelyn can't beat them, but you are very smart, you can find a way to solve the problem. As for me, I can only use my hands... Thank you for bringing the rescuers here in time, otherwise it will take a long time I'm really in danger if I go down..."
Then her expression was a bit strange: "...It's just that the mother and child—"
When I heard Leila mentioning the mother and son, I raised my head in doubt, but I happened to see such a scene - the mother and son were holding on to a cart of supplies and refused to leave, and the leader of the robbers took advantage of Levi to deal with other The person in the middle held up a machete and slashed at the young man.
"Damn it, let me die—"
The young man turned pale with fright, his legs were shaking like a sieve, but he was reluctant to leave the wooden cart.But when the robber's machete was about to hit him, a figure stood in front of him.
A scream came to an end, and seeing the knife come down, a splash of bright red blood spurted out, my eyes widened, my legs couldn't help taking a few steps back, and my legs were so weak that I almost sat down on the ground.
Levi turned around and chopped off the machete, and the murderous robber was stepped on by him in the next second.The person who was chopped down was not the young man, but the young man's bitter mother.
In order to keep a load of supplies, they insisted on dragging them away even if the robbers came after them, but the villain who encountered Levi's uniform was unwilling, so they took advantage of the time when Levi was packing up the other two people and slashed at Li Wei. The young man closest to him just didn't expect that the young man's mother would rush out to block the knife at a critical moment.
"Damn old woman, why are you?..."
"...Damn boy, I'm your old lady, if you keep arguing, I'll beat you to death—" Before finishing speaking, the middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and passed out.And the young man hugged his mother covered in blood, his young face faded from the original irritability and impatience, and was actually full of puzzlement and sadness: "...Old woman, wake up...Old woman! Fuck off, don't sleep. !Hello!"
Suddenly there was a mournful cry from a young man in the woods. I stared blankly at the scene in front of me with wide-eyed eyes. I don’t know when it started. Some hot contact overflowed in my eye sockets.
It seems that many years ago, when I was young, I accidentally knocked over the teapot on the table.The moment the hot water was poured on me, the man with serious and unfriendly eyes all the year round quickly hugged me, and the scalding hot water instantly burned his dark arms red.
Next he endured severe pain to see if I was injured, and then he beat me up cursingly.
He really protected me from being scalded by hot water when I was young.And the person who will beat me up after protecting me, isn't it the father who drove me to death?
At that moment, all I could think of was him.
——My father, the only person in my life who I love and hate.
------------------
Next, we were "invited" by the military police to take a trip to their station, and the three half-dead robbers beaten by Levi were directly taken into custody by the military police, and Leila and the mother and child were sent to the town on the hospital.
When we were going to be pestered by the military police to ask what happened, Levi dismissed them impatiently with a few words, and then took me away without looking back.
Although the military rank of the commander of the Survey Corps is not high, Levi has enough prestige, and the small gendarmes of the detachments dare not talk too much.
"Hurry up, there's still training tonight, so don't be late." Levi's voice was cold and clear, but the timbre was very nice.But at this moment, I had no intention of admiring him, and just followed closely behind him.
Levi didn't intend to blame us for causing trouble before the war, but just urged me to return to the regiment for training as soon as possible.Although Leila's injury was not serious, she still needed to stay in the hospital for observation and treatment, and she couldn't even participate in the next extramural investigation.
I still remember that when the doctor bandaged her in the hospital just now, she said she was fine and looked at me with a smile and asked me to return to the Corps early, and my heart felt uncomfortable for a while.
Obviously, there are two people in everything, but in that situation I had to run away. In the end, Leila saved us and gave me time to find rescue, but in the end I was injured again.
It seems that I can no longer slack off. If I am so useless again, will I have to shrink back when I encounter this situation in the future?In this case, wouldn't he be even less qualified to be with Levi, and talking about chasing him is farting, right?
What I was most concerned about was the mother and son. The middle-aged woman was rescued from a coma after being seriously injured, but she is still in a coma.Before I left, I saw her son kneeling on the head of the bed, his previous impetuosity and frivolity were gone, now he was only haggard and anxious.
His mother blocked the knife for him, and at first I was still drawing conclusions in my mind—his mother loved money enough to ignore her son, but now it turns out that I was slapped in the face again.
Once again, I used my personal experience as a measure to misjudge the situation of others. Speaking of which, am I the one who is arrogant?Still, it was me who was wrong all along.
I remember at that moment, what I thought of was my father, the man who didn't love me, beat and scolded me since he was a child, and didn't care about my thoughts at all.
I hate him, hate that he loves money, hate that he doesn't love me, hate that he doesn't care about anything about me.
But I also love him, because he is my father, and he has raised me for more than ten years.
I am a tangled carrier myself.
At that moment, I thought, if my dad was present in that situation, maybe he was not drunk, would he rush up for me?I remember that when I was a child, I was almost scalded to death by hot water, but he stopped me. Although he beat me, I knew he was out of breath.
What about when he forced me to jump off a building?
——On that day, I happened to meet the day when he lost money.
So in his heart, is money more important than his only daughter?
——I don't know, I don't fucking know, every time I try to sort out my thoughts, it's me who is full of loopholes, and it's me who is in the entanglement of love and not love.Although I hate, I still love... Heh, why should I be so mean?Can't we simply draw the line?
I don't want to be like this "cutting constantly, making things messy", I want to be a decisive person who can be really free and easy, but I am obviously the person I hate the most, that kind of person is accompanied by an inherent "indecision" , and cowardice.
It was getting late, and memories of the past involuntarily emerged in my mind. Every evening, my father would hide in the mahjong hall downstairs, swearing unscrupulously in the environment surrounded by cigarettes and alcohol, and then played mahjong. Crackle.
This is no less than the corruption of the land of fireworks, I hate this kind of life.Even if I keep myself pure and noble, I can't escape, because I was born here.
"Hehehehe..."
"I'm a fucking joke."
"What should be done, what should be done."
"It's just so bad anyway, no amount of work can change it..."
I walked all the way, and finally laughed out weirdly, at that time, I completely forgot that there was Levi beside me, and I didn't realize that he frowned and listened to me for a long time.
"Tsk." He stopped, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah." Seeing him stop and look at me, I quickly turned my face away, using the cover of the night, I didn't want him to see my crying and laughing expression.
But he obviously didn't give up until he figured it out.
"I, Captain..." My voice was a little trembling, and then I blurted out without thinking, "By the way, Captain, the ghost has been caught, right?"
He was stunned for a moment when he heard my noncommittal answer, then he regained his expression and nodded slightly: "Who told you?"
"I guessed it." I smiled, but I couldn't control my strong nasal voice, "That person should be the uncle who does odd jobs in the dining hall, right?"
"..."
"Actually, I didn't know it at first, but I saw something shiny in his pocket two days ago. I was curious and followed it. It turned out...it was the badge of the Gendarmerie! And, I should have noticed it earlier You see, a cook who doesn't do much, how can he have such thick calluses on his tiger's mouth?"
Once I chatted with my uncle, he said that he used to do clerical work.Not long ago, I was forced by life and entered the logistics department of the Survey Corps to do rough work.But if you think about it carefully, why did the person who held the pen in his hand have thick calluses on his tiger's mouth?If he is not doing heavy work often, he is a person holding a knife and a gun. He also said that he is an unknown writer, which sounds very literary, but if you think about it carefully, isn’t it contradictory?
"You guessed it right, this is Erwin's plan. Taking advantage of all the soldiers being called for a meeting today, the ghost will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Hanji and I have been waiting for him for a long time." Although Levi said something similar to praise words, but his tone was disapproving and flat, "That guy is a bit difficult."
"That's it, it's audacious to pretend to be a member of the Survey Corps... Then, he is really a member of the Gendarmerie?"
"A captain of the gendarmerie in the capital, this pig confessed that he had committed a crime, and came here privately to 'collect information' for the so-called 'make up for his mistakes'... Heh, of course, it's obvious who exactly this is."
who mean?Naturally, it was the messenger behind the scenes, and it was impossible to say who the messenger behind the scenes was, but that person must be a high-level person in the capital, because that group of potbellied people always hoped to squat in their doghouse and live a luxurious life.The expedition of the survey corps not only makes them tax heavy, but also may cause some terrible and unknown troubles from outside the wall.
I remember that the one who wanted to get rid of the Survey Corps before was an important member of the royal capital——Robov.
And no matter how you think about it, the Gendarmerie doesn't have enough reason to want to get rid of the Survey Corps.Even if both sides don't like it, they are just like modern enterprises fighting for their own interests. Although they are fighting openly and secretly, they don't need to go to war.Therefore, the behind-the-scenes messengers must be high-level people in the capital.
It's just that I'm an ordinary soldier, Levi will definitely not say a few more words to me, I will shut up in time.
As I walked, I thought of the mother and son again, and recalled the moment when the woman threw herself at her son without thinking of herself, and my heart became more and more sour.
Maybe it's not that my parents don't love me, it's just that their warmth is gradually obliterated by the reality and hard life.
I shouldn't have jumped off in the first place, forgetting my original intention-like Levi, standing out from the shadows and becoming a person living in the light!
"Soldier, I will definitely work hard this time to investigate outside the wall, so as not to embarrass you." I thought, I can no longer be paranoid and close myself in the world I used to be, avoiding all confusion.If my grandparents knew that I had become so self-destructive, they would be very sad. After all, they hoped that one day I would become a confident and happy person. How could I let them down and take my life so easily?
Since I chose the Survey Corps, I will try my best to be an excellent soldier, follow Levi and kill all the giants.
Levi stopped suddenly, then turned to look at me, and I didn't look away even though there were tears in the corners of my eyes.A gust of wind blew away my forehead hair, I raised my hand and stroked it behind my ear, then smiled at him: "Soldier, whether you agree or not, one day—I will marry you beautifully..." The voice of that sentence became smaller and smaller like a breeze, and I smiled with the corners of my lips curled up.
It's just that I saw a hint of doubt suddenly flashing in his eyes, and then he walked towards me step by step, those eyes were as deep as the water in an ancient well, suddenly rippling and fluctuating.
I backed up step by step, and the low air pressure suddenly emanating from his body made me feel heavy, and a kind of uneasiness under control suddenly rose in my heart, and I couldn't laugh out loud.
"You, what are you doing?" I just, um, confessed?Did he agree that he thought I was too indecent and wanted to beat me up?
If this is the case, normally I would be excited to think "Come on~" But now I can clearly feel the deep inquiry in his eyes, as if he can see everything, which makes me feel instinctively afraid.
But the next words he spit out slowly made me gasp: "Who the hell are you?"
who I am?Why did he ask such a question?Could it be, could it be—
"Captain, you don't suspect that I have something to do with the inner ghost, do you?" I quickly waved my hand, "No, no, I just confessed, you won't kill me because of this!" It's okay if I'm wrong , I won't be fooling around anymore, I still want to live!
He turned dark after hearing what I said, and I was bewildered and at a loss, then he turned around again and walked ahead, ignoring me.
I was stunned for a long time, and felt that my cheeks seemed to be covered with evening dew, so I raised my hand to caress unconsciously.
--who I am?
—I'm Evelyn.
It's weird, it's weird.
The author has something to say:
I'm really sorry to come back and update after so long, but I didn't abandon the pit, just because I was busy with my studies.Next, I will prepare for the college entrance examination, so I will finish writing this article as soon as possible. Every article is my heart, and I don’t want it to have a beginning and no end~
Good night~
(By the way, there is a bug here, I didn’t notice it. Captain Erwin said to give the soldiers two days off, and later Levi said to go back to training. There was a mistake in these two places. I was negligent. Now No time to change, so I marked it first.)
Next week will be No.40's nine extra-mural investigations, so at the mobilization meeting this morning, Captain Erwin announced that we would have two days off to facilitate our own affairs arrangements.But Leila and I were unaccompanied in this world, and seeing other soldiers returning home in twos and threes, we could only go to the town to relax.
I have roughly talked to Leila about the inner ghost, but I won't go into too much depth.Reassuring, Layla said she would keep it a secret and was happy that I had nothing to hide from her.
I silently rolled my eyes. Sometimes Leila is so stupid that she trusts others so naively.
"Then Evelyn, who do you think the ghost is?" she asked me in a low voice, then glanced at the bustling crowd around her.I saw a faint uneasiness between her brows and eyes. After all, we are aware that the enemy is in the dark, and no one knows what that inner ghost will do that is not good for the Corps.
"...I don't think that person is hiding among the soldiers." Because Captain Erwin will first strictly check the true identities of the soldiers to ensure that no fish slipped through the net. "Although the corps does not seem to be moving at present, I think...the inner ghost should have been caught, but we low-level soldiers have no right to know. The upper-level may do this because they are afraid that this incident will disturb the morale of the army." These were my vacillating guesses. But after a mobilization meeting, I vaguely guessed the identity of the inner ghost, but I couldn't quite believe it.
If I hadn't glanced unconsciously, I wouldn't have noticed that the Gendarmerie badge had fallen into the man's hand.But judging from all the previous signs, his identity is currently the most suspicious, even though he looks so inconspicuous in the Corps.
"Ah? Got caught?" Layla stared at me with wide eyes, puzzled, "What's going on?"
It's not without reason that I think so. Just this morning, Captain Erwin asked all the soldiers to gather on the playground.The tall and straight head of the regiment stood upright on the high platform, and spoke passionately to encourage the soldiers.Although no soldiers booed because of these inspiring words, it was obvious that most people's attention was attracted by the regiment leader.
People like me who hope to "eat and wait to die" will naturally not be inspired by the leader's words. I just look at the leader calmly and silently admire his exquisite and centripetal way of speaking.But more than half an hour after the mobilization meeting, the head of the group seemed to have no intention of disbanding, and I began to feel a little irritated.
In the past, the mobilization meeting was dismissed after the important matters were clearly explained in a concise manner, and then the detailed tasks were explained by the squad leaders, but why is the group leader talking so much nonsense today?For a while, it talked about the precautions for investigation outside the wall, for a while it talked about living up to the expectations of relatives and friends, and for a while it talked about the righteousness of human beings and dedicating their hearts to human beings.But the soldiers actually listened with great interest, and even stared at the regiment leader intently.
Because I wholeheartedly wanted to "look indecent" Levi, I naturally ignored the leader and looked at the high platform carefully, only to find that I didn't see anyone except the leader and a few soldiers.
what happened?Usually, during important meetings in the Corps, the sub-captain Han Ji and the commander would stand next to the regiment commander. Why are there no people today?
At this moment, a soldier with a cropped head hurriedly walked to the head from behind the high platform, and then he whispered something in the head's ear.I saw that the soldier's clothes were a little messy, as if there were signs of a fight.If it is said that this was done during training, I don't believe it, because today there is no training at all, and it can be disbanded after the meeting.
Although I noticed this, I was really too lazy to think about it. The meeting was announced to be dissolved shortly after, and the soldiers went back to the dormitory chattering.Most of the veterans didn't show any emotion, but the recruits of our class were obviously more noisy.The faces of the teenagers and girls still look immature, and the eyes of the veterans are not as calm and composed as the luster.
I yawned and was about to go back. I raised my hand to wipe the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of my eyes. Seeing that the soldiers were gone, I still didn't see the figure of the male god.
Strange, usually he is busy training soldiers or following the head of the regiment to handle official duties, so he will definitely not train any soldiers during the mobilization meeting, and the head of the regiment does not see him. Where did he go?
Thinking of this, I set my sights on Captain Erwin not far away.
I saw the head of the regiment not far away had stepped off the high platform, and the soldier was still standing beside him. At this time, the soldier was still talking to the head of the regiment in a low voice. After saying something, the soldier left alone.
Just when I felt inexplicable, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a change in the expression of the head of the group.Although his expression was the same as usual, the corners of his lips raised an imperceptible arc slightly, and those blue eyes that were as blue as the vast sky gathered a light of wisdom, showing a bit of sharpness.
By the time I realized that something was wrong, it was already after breakfast.
Just imagine, the head of the regiment called all the soldiers for a meeting, but he never allowed them to leave. He didn't disband until his adjutant came to report something. Maybe everyone thought it was just an ordinary mobilization meeting, but anyone who thought about it could guess Some of them are wrong--
Why is the head of this meeting talking more than the previous few times?Why aren't Captain Hanji and Captain Levi by his side?Why are there messy marks on the clothes of the soldier who came to whisper with his eyebrows down?
------------------
Leila and I walked and chatted all the way, and returned to the Corps around noon.Although it is still a bit chilly in March, the sun at noon cannot be too gentle, so in order to avoid direct sunlight, Leila and I chose a road that is almost full of woods along the way.
After walking a short uphill road, Leila and I leaned against the tree trunk to rest. We were just thinking about finding a small restaurant for a meal, when we saw a wooden cart pushing towards the bottom of the uphill slope. What was on the cart? The things were only fixed with a few hemp ropes. Looking carefully, those items were clearly medical supplies such as gauze and medical cotton balls.
The ones pushing the wooden cart are a man and a woman. The man looks to be in his twenties, and the woman is about forty or fifty.
"I said I'll send these things later, but if you insist on sending them now, it's really... so hot." The young man looked up at the sky where the sun was hanging in the air, his mouth full of complaints.
The woman didn't show weakness, and said coldly: "You are so lazy, if you worked harder, maybe we would have lived in a good house long ago, and we don't have to squeeze the broken house left by your dead ghost father!"
"Can you blame me? If it wasn't for that old ghost's early death, I might be a young master now-I say dead old woman, if you can't afford to support me, you might as well not have given birth to me." The young man showed no sign of weakness. I yelled back, and didn't care about Leila and I who happened to be on the same road, "It made me suffer!"
"Huh? Are you talking to my old lady like this? Let me tell you, don't ask me for money when you marry a wife in the future - no! Oh, by the way, you have to pay back the money that my old lady spent on you for so many years!"
"Damn old woman, you know how to ask me for money... It's only natural for you to support me!"
The few of us walked together for a while, and then we realized that the two mothers and sons were sending medical supplies to the Survey Corps.Leila and I, who were traveling together the whole way, watched the two mothers and sons quarrel, and the two of them spoke venomously without showing any weakness, as if they were enemies meeting each other, they were full of resentment, and they were on the verge of fighting.
Probably, the youth is too lazy to make progress, while the mother is greedy for money and mean, in short, they are very realistic.
"Evelyn...can we change directions?" Sister Leila whispered while tugging on my sleeve, she seemed unable to bear the scene of "enemies meet each other with jealousy", "Aren't they mother and son? How could that be?" Just like a stranger...my mother treats me very well, she used to be reluctant to beat me and scold me when she was still alive."
I shook my head with a helpless smile, and then said to her: "There is no other way to get here. Besides, the Survey Corps is not far ahead, and it will be there in about 5 minutes." What does she explain.
Leila can't understand why the most loving mother and son in the world are so discordant, but I know what's going on, because this woman loves money, and in her heart, money is the most important thing, even more important biological son.
The world is extremely materialistic. Without money, it is difficult to move a single step. It is only human nature to care about money.Even the same is true between parents and children, maybe they don't love their children at all, or maybe because they don't love deeply, otherwise, how could there be cases of parents selling their children for money?
From the moment my father forced me to jump off the building, I knew that the person who truly loved me in this world had already passed away—the two old men who went west by crane could no longer protect me under their wings, and from now on I could only on my own.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, but I didn't want to show it, so I could only walk ahead of Leila and try my best to control my emotions.
After so many years of resentment and hatred, my heart should be numb, but I want to believe that those two people must love me deep in their hearts, but the truth likes to slap me hard on the face.Since crying is useless, why should I speak too much?Anyway, I have already come here, the past world has nothing to do with me now, and my life and death have nothing to do with them.
It's enough for me to stay alive here and keep looking up to Levi.
"Stop all of them and hand over the money—"
Just as I was wandering, a fierce shout dragged my thoughts back abruptly.I raised my head, and at some point in front of me, there were three tall and tall men, all of them had fierce faces, and squandered with gleaming silver machetes in their hands.
"What are you doing in a daze, hand over the valuables!" The leading man glared over, Leila and I hadn't made a sound yet, the mother and son were already quite disturbed.
"Hey, do you know that the survey corps is in front of you?" The young man was full of flamboyance, perhaps because he was young and frivolous, "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the soldiers?"
"Bah." The leading man spat, and then put on a sarcasm smile, "I'll just chop you into rotten meat? Don't care about the investigation corps, stop talking nonsense and pay the money!"
"Brother, my son and I are just two peddlers, and we don't have any valuables on us." The middle-aged woman who had been silent all this time suddenly pointed her finger at me and Leila, "These two girls are quite beautiful. of……"
"I fuck you!" I reacted, and then cursed through gritted teeth. Seeing the three men approaching with malicious intentions, I could only shout at the top of my voice, "Don't come over—we You are members of the Survey Corps, if you dare to touch us, be careful that the Survey Corps will not let you go!"
"Pfft ha ha ha ha - I'm not even afraid of the gendarmerie, but also those idiots rushing to reincarnate?" The man pointed at the gleaming machete, "Why don't you follow me for such a beautiful girl? It’s hot, you don’t have to follow that group of garbage to the outside of the wall to serve as rations for giants, and the brothers will make you feel so happy every day, the best of both worlds, right?”
Leila's fair face was full of anger. She seemed to be going to jump over me to fight. Naturally, I held her back. After all, these three men were holding such dangerous weapons. Leila's fight No matter how powerful the technique is, it is impossible to defeat them with bare hands and unscathed, right?
When I was in a hurry to think about the countermeasures, Leila suddenly pushed me and pushed me out of the encirclement: "Evelyn, hurry up and go back to the Survey Corps to find rescue!" Jumping, and then taking advantage of the gap, he kicked a man in front of him heavily.
The man staggered and fell back, and the knife fell to the ground. I watched the two men raise their knives angrily. Leila turned around and avoided the knife nimbly, and then ran quickly to the wooden cart.
"Evelyn, let's go!"
------------------
The moment the murderer came after me, I turned around and ran away.My fighting skills are not great, and I don't have Leila's tenacity and courage. When I think about it afterwards, I always feel ashamed of myself who ran away at that time.
Even after Leila reassured me that I was doing the right thing, my heart couldn't let go of it for a long time.I am weak and incompetent, and I can only be the one who escapes and hides forever.
When I ran to the gate of the legion, I couldn't help but drag the soldier on duty at the gate back, but the soldier looked at me panting blankly, obviously not understanding my plea for help.
"I, we met, we met a robber... Leila, Leila is still there, hurry up and save her!" After finally finishing these words, the soldier realized the seriousness of the situation and urged I led the way, and a cold and familiar voice came in: "Lead the way."
I followed the reputation and saw a familiar figure at a glance - Captain Levi, but I was so tired and out of breath, I could only raise my finger to point to the woods: "The road ahead is big, about 5 minutes, about [-] minutes away ...Soldier, Captain, save her..."
He frowned slightly, glanced at me hastily, and then led the soldier towards the direction I pointed. I could only stand up straight while leaning on the wall, and then chased back without stopping.
If anything happens to Leila because of this, it will haunt me for the rest of my life.She is also the only friend who can be called a best friend in my life for so many years. How can I lose her?
After I followed their footsteps, I saw Levi kick a robber to the ground from a distance, and then punched the No. 2 robber who rushed forward without delay.
Seeing such a powerful rescue field, I was a little relieved, so I hurried to see Leila, the girl had blood on her shoulders, and her sleeves were ripped apart, I was startled, and quickly checked , Only then did I realize that although her wound was shallow, the amount of bleeding was still a little bit, which was obviously cut by a knife.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just got a small cut accidentally, just apply some medicine and it'll be fine." She smiled at me gently, "My father is a local police officer, so I learned some self-defense skills from him when I was young. I can still hide from these people."
"...I, I left you and ran away." For the first time, I felt so scared in my heart, so afraid that something would happen to people other than I cared about.
"You are right, Evelyn can't beat them, but you are very smart, you can find a way to solve the problem. As for me, I can only use my hands... Thank you for bringing the rescuers here in time, otherwise it will take a long time I'm really in danger if I go down..."
Then her expression was a bit strange: "...It's just that the mother and child—"
When I heard Leila mentioning the mother and son, I raised my head in doubt, but I happened to see such a scene - the mother and son were holding on to a cart of supplies and refused to leave, and the leader of the robbers took advantage of Levi to deal with other The person in the middle held up a machete and slashed at the young man.
"Damn it, let me die—"
The young man turned pale with fright, his legs were shaking like a sieve, but he was reluctant to leave the wooden cart.But when the robber's machete was about to hit him, a figure stood in front of him.
A scream came to an end, and seeing the knife come down, a splash of bright red blood spurted out, my eyes widened, my legs couldn't help taking a few steps back, and my legs were so weak that I almost sat down on the ground.
Levi turned around and chopped off the machete, and the murderous robber was stepped on by him in the next second.The person who was chopped down was not the young man, but the young man's bitter mother.
In order to keep a load of supplies, they insisted on dragging them away even if the robbers came after them, but the villain who encountered Levi's uniform was unwilling, so they took advantage of the time when Levi was packing up the other two people and slashed at Li Wei. The young man closest to him just didn't expect that the young man's mother would rush out to block the knife at a critical moment.
"Damn old woman, why are you?..."
"...Damn boy, I'm your old lady, if you keep arguing, I'll beat you to death—" Before finishing speaking, the middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and passed out.And the young man hugged his mother covered in blood, his young face faded from the original irritability and impatience, and was actually full of puzzlement and sadness: "...Old woman, wake up...Old woman! Fuck off, don't sleep. !Hello!"
Suddenly there was a mournful cry from a young man in the woods. I stared blankly at the scene in front of me with wide-eyed eyes. I don’t know when it started. Some hot contact overflowed in my eye sockets.
It seems that many years ago, when I was young, I accidentally knocked over the teapot on the table.The moment the hot water was poured on me, the man with serious and unfriendly eyes all the year round quickly hugged me, and the scalding hot water instantly burned his dark arms red.
Next he endured severe pain to see if I was injured, and then he beat me up cursingly.
He really protected me from being scalded by hot water when I was young.And the person who will beat me up after protecting me, isn't it the father who drove me to death?
At that moment, all I could think of was him.
——My father, the only person in my life who I love and hate.
------------------
Next, we were "invited" by the military police to take a trip to their station, and the three half-dead robbers beaten by Levi were directly taken into custody by the military police, and Leila and the mother and child were sent to the town on the hospital.
When we were going to be pestered by the military police to ask what happened, Levi dismissed them impatiently with a few words, and then took me away without looking back.
Although the military rank of the commander of the Survey Corps is not high, Levi has enough prestige, and the small gendarmes of the detachments dare not talk too much.
"Hurry up, there's still training tonight, so don't be late." Levi's voice was cold and clear, but the timbre was very nice.But at this moment, I had no intention of admiring him, and just followed closely behind him.
Levi didn't intend to blame us for causing trouble before the war, but just urged me to return to the regiment for training as soon as possible.Although Leila's injury was not serious, she still needed to stay in the hospital for observation and treatment, and she couldn't even participate in the next extramural investigation.
I still remember that when the doctor bandaged her in the hospital just now, she said she was fine and looked at me with a smile and asked me to return to the Corps early, and my heart felt uncomfortable for a while.
Obviously, there are two people in everything, but in that situation I had to run away. In the end, Leila saved us and gave me time to find rescue, but in the end I was injured again.
It seems that I can no longer slack off. If I am so useless again, will I have to shrink back when I encounter this situation in the future?In this case, wouldn't he be even less qualified to be with Levi, and talking about chasing him is farting, right?
What I was most concerned about was the mother and son. The middle-aged woman was rescued from a coma after being seriously injured, but she is still in a coma.Before I left, I saw her son kneeling on the head of the bed, his previous impetuosity and frivolity were gone, now he was only haggard and anxious.
His mother blocked the knife for him, and at first I was still drawing conclusions in my mind—his mother loved money enough to ignore her son, but now it turns out that I was slapped in the face again.
Once again, I used my personal experience as a measure to misjudge the situation of others. Speaking of which, am I the one who is arrogant?Still, it was me who was wrong all along.
I remember at that moment, what I thought of was my father, the man who didn't love me, beat and scolded me since he was a child, and didn't care about my thoughts at all.
I hate him, hate that he loves money, hate that he doesn't love me, hate that he doesn't care about anything about me.
But I also love him, because he is my father, and he has raised me for more than ten years.
I am a tangled carrier myself.
At that moment, I thought, if my dad was present in that situation, maybe he was not drunk, would he rush up for me?I remember that when I was a child, I was almost scalded to death by hot water, but he stopped me. Although he beat me, I knew he was out of breath.
What about when he forced me to jump off a building?
——On that day, I happened to meet the day when he lost money.
So in his heart, is money more important than his only daughter?
——I don't know, I don't fucking know, every time I try to sort out my thoughts, it's me who is full of loopholes, and it's me who is in the entanglement of love and not love.Although I hate, I still love... Heh, why should I be so mean?Can't we simply draw the line?
I don't want to be like this "cutting constantly, making things messy", I want to be a decisive person who can be really free and easy, but I am obviously the person I hate the most, that kind of person is accompanied by an inherent "indecision" , and cowardice.
It was getting late, and memories of the past involuntarily emerged in my mind. Every evening, my father would hide in the mahjong hall downstairs, swearing unscrupulously in the environment surrounded by cigarettes and alcohol, and then played mahjong. Crackle.
This is no less than the corruption of the land of fireworks, I hate this kind of life.Even if I keep myself pure and noble, I can't escape, because I was born here.
"Hehehehe..."
"I'm a fucking joke."
"What should be done, what should be done."
"It's just so bad anyway, no amount of work can change it..."
I walked all the way, and finally laughed out weirdly, at that time, I completely forgot that there was Levi beside me, and I didn't realize that he frowned and listened to me for a long time.
"Tsk." He stopped, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah." Seeing him stop and look at me, I quickly turned my face away, using the cover of the night, I didn't want him to see my crying and laughing expression.
But he obviously didn't give up until he figured it out.
"I, Captain..." My voice was a little trembling, and then I blurted out without thinking, "By the way, Captain, the ghost has been caught, right?"
He was stunned for a moment when he heard my noncommittal answer, then he regained his expression and nodded slightly: "Who told you?"
"I guessed it." I smiled, but I couldn't control my strong nasal voice, "That person should be the uncle who does odd jobs in the dining hall, right?"
"..."
"Actually, I didn't know it at first, but I saw something shiny in his pocket two days ago. I was curious and followed it. It turned out...it was the badge of the Gendarmerie! And, I should have noticed it earlier You see, a cook who doesn't do much, how can he have such thick calluses on his tiger's mouth?"
Once I chatted with my uncle, he said that he used to do clerical work.Not long ago, I was forced by life and entered the logistics department of the Survey Corps to do rough work.But if you think about it carefully, why did the person who held the pen in his hand have thick calluses on his tiger's mouth?If he is not doing heavy work often, he is a person holding a knife and a gun. He also said that he is an unknown writer, which sounds very literary, but if you think about it carefully, isn’t it contradictory?
"You guessed it right, this is Erwin's plan. Taking advantage of all the soldiers being called for a meeting today, the ghost will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Hanji and I have been waiting for him for a long time." Although Levi said something similar to praise words, but his tone was disapproving and flat, "That guy is a bit difficult."
"That's it, it's audacious to pretend to be a member of the Survey Corps... Then, he is really a member of the Gendarmerie?"
"A captain of the gendarmerie in the capital, this pig confessed that he had committed a crime, and came here privately to 'collect information' for the so-called 'make up for his mistakes'... Heh, of course, it's obvious who exactly this is."
who mean?Naturally, it was the messenger behind the scenes, and it was impossible to say who the messenger behind the scenes was, but that person must be a high-level person in the capital, because that group of potbellied people always hoped to squat in their doghouse and live a luxurious life.The expedition of the survey corps not only makes them tax heavy, but also may cause some terrible and unknown troubles from outside the wall.
I remember that the one who wanted to get rid of the Survey Corps before was an important member of the royal capital——Robov.
And no matter how you think about it, the Gendarmerie doesn't have enough reason to want to get rid of the Survey Corps.Even if both sides don't like it, they are just like modern enterprises fighting for their own interests. Although they are fighting openly and secretly, they don't need to go to war.Therefore, the behind-the-scenes messengers must be high-level people in the capital.
It's just that I'm an ordinary soldier, Levi will definitely not say a few more words to me, I will shut up in time.
As I walked, I thought of the mother and son again, and recalled the moment when the woman threw herself at her son without thinking of herself, and my heart became more and more sour.
Maybe it's not that my parents don't love me, it's just that their warmth is gradually obliterated by the reality and hard life.
I shouldn't have jumped off in the first place, forgetting my original intention-like Levi, standing out from the shadows and becoming a person living in the light!
"Soldier, I will definitely work hard this time to investigate outside the wall, so as not to embarrass you." I thought, I can no longer be paranoid and close myself in the world I used to be, avoiding all confusion.If my grandparents knew that I had become so self-destructive, they would be very sad. After all, they hoped that one day I would become a confident and happy person. How could I let them down and take my life so easily?
Since I chose the Survey Corps, I will try my best to be an excellent soldier, follow Levi and kill all the giants.
Levi stopped suddenly, then turned to look at me, and I didn't look away even though there were tears in the corners of my eyes.A gust of wind blew away my forehead hair, I raised my hand and stroked it behind my ear, then smiled at him: "Soldier, whether you agree or not, one day—I will marry you beautifully..." The voice of that sentence became smaller and smaller like a breeze, and I smiled with the corners of my lips curled up.
It's just that I saw a hint of doubt suddenly flashing in his eyes, and then he walked towards me step by step, those eyes were as deep as the water in an ancient well, suddenly rippling and fluctuating.
I backed up step by step, and the low air pressure suddenly emanating from his body made me feel heavy, and a kind of uneasiness under control suddenly rose in my heart, and I couldn't laugh out loud.
"You, what are you doing?" I just, um, confessed?Did he agree that he thought I was too indecent and wanted to beat me up?
If this is the case, normally I would be excited to think "Come on~" But now I can clearly feel the deep inquiry in his eyes, as if he can see everything, which makes me feel instinctively afraid.
But the next words he spit out slowly made me gasp: "Who the hell are you?"
who I am?Why did he ask such a question?Could it be, could it be—
"Captain, you don't suspect that I have something to do with the inner ghost, do you?" I quickly waved my hand, "No, no, I just confessed, you won't kill me because of this!" It's okay if I'm wrong , I won't be fooling around anymore, I still want to live!
He turned dark after hearing what I said, and I was bewildered and at a loss, then he turned around again and walked ahead, ignoring me.
I was stunned for a long time, and felt that my cheeks seemed to be covered with evening dew, so I raised my hand to caress unconsciously.
--who I am?
—I'm Evelyn.
It's weird, it's weird.
The author has something to say:
I'm really sorry to come back and update after so long, but I didn't abandon the pit, just because I was busy with my studies.Next, I will prepare for the college entrance examination, so I will finish writing this article as soon as possible. Every article is my heart, and I don’t want it to have a beginning and no end~
Good night~
(By the way, there is a bug here, I didn’t notice it. Captain Erwin said to give the soldiers two days off, and later Levi said to go back to training. There was a mistake in these two places. I was negligent. Now No time to change, so I marked it first.)
