"General!"
The towering tree couldn't be moved and all the Blood Forces soldiers started crying.
The wind howled past, coupled with their cries, it was indescribably sad.
Lu Yan batted his thick eyelashes, moving his thin lips. "Why are you crying? Am I dead?"
"General!"
The Blood Forces soldiers wiped their tears away, but only more tears came out.
After so many years, the Blood Eyes was more like a big family and Lu Yan was the head of the family. He protected them like a father and an elder brother, just like an eagle protecting its young ones. His tall and sturdy body had never collapsed before.
But now, he had fallen.
The sky had fallen.
The soul of the Blood Forces was gone.
What should they do?
They didn't know what to do.
"Li Si!" Lu Yan spoke. His voice was hoarse, it was weak and painful, but it was unusually fierce.
"Yan Zi." Li Si crawled over, grasping Lu Yan's large palm tightly.
Lu Yan looked at Li Si, the cold rain dripping down his pale face. "Take them away."
General, we won't leave!
General, we won't leave. If you don't leave, we won't leave. Not a single one of us will be left behind. You said it yourself!
Lu Yan gritted his teeth, cursing in a low voice. "A bunch of bastards, you're not listening to me anymore? Everyone listen up, this is an order. Hold hands, the Blood Forces, 1 to 12 people, once you arrive safely, report your numbers immediately! "
General, we really won't leave, I beg you.
General, we don't want to leave you here, we want to bring you back.
General, we're begging you, we'll kowtow to you.
All the Blood Forces soldiers knelt down, kowtowing to Lu Yan, hoping that he wouldn't chase them away.
Lu Yan shut his eyes for a while before opening them again. His brown eyes were bloodshot. "All of you, stand up. Don't forget your identities. You're all soldiers. If anyone dares to utter another word of nonsense, I'll f * cking kick you out of the Blood Forces. You're not worthy!"
All the Blood Forces soldiers were crying, they slowly stood up. How could they disappoint him?
How could they disappoint him?
The veins on Li Si's forehead were throbbing, his eyes were bloodshot. A soldier had to obey. He stood up too.
A group of Blood Forces stood in the wind, singing a battle song of despair.
Lu Yan looked sideways at Huo Yanmei.
Tears streamed down Huo Yanmei's face. It was all her fault. If only she hadn't come.
He looked at her because he had something to say to An An.
An An was the softest thing in his heart.
He couldn't let it go.
Huo Yanmei stepped forward and sobbed, "Tell me."
Lu Yan took out the red string from his trousers pocket, the diamond ring was still sparkling. He passed the red string and the bloodied camellia flower to Huo Yanmei. "Give it to her."
"Okay, give it to her." Huo Yanmei nodded vigorously. "What else?"
What else?
Lu Yan thought about it. There were actually a lot of them, but he didn't want to talk about them.
He gently closed his eyes. "No more."
Huo Yanmei covered her mouth and burst into tears. "What about the child?"
Children?
Lu Yan froze, the corners of his lips kicked up into a gentle smile. "Let her hit me."
Don't stay any longer.
She was still young, she shouldn't stay any longer.
He liked children, but he still loved her so much.
His mind replayed the scene before she got on the car, when she lowered her eyes and placed her hand on her tummy.
It was a pity, he didn't touch her tummy. He didn't say, 'Son, call me Daddy.'
Their fate in this lifetime was too shallow.
Huo Yanmei turned her head away. She couldn't bear to look at him anymore.
Lu Yan opened his eyes, looking at the darkness above him. "Blood Forces, listen up. Hold hands and go home immediately!"
The tornado was coming. The next second, the next second, this place would become a burning hell. They were all racing against time.
Li Si was crying, the Blood Forces were crying. After so many years, they had crossed mountains and ridges, and had already become an invincible legendary troop. But now, these 12 tough men were crying with snot and tears all over their faces.
Li Si wiped his tears and straightened his back. "At ease, stand at attention and salute!"
All the Blood Forces stood up straight, facing the darkness, they saluted Lu Yan who was on the ground.
Lu Yan raised his hand, returning the salute.
The cold wind howled, who was the one crying in their hearts?
"After the salute, let's set off now!"
Li Si carried Huo Yanmei on his shoulder. He would definitely go back, he would definitely bring Huo Yanmei back.
Li Si held Scissors' hand, Scissors held another soldier's hand. Everyone held hands and walked away.
They walked away, getting further and further away from Lu Yan.
The storm broke their backs, they were bent over, their hearts were drowned in sorrow.
At this moment, a low voice came from behind. Lu Yan was singing.
We, the soldiers,
What's different
Just because we're all wearing simple military uniforms
Saying it's different
Actually it's the same
Saying it's different
We're all youthful
We're all hot-blooded men
Saying it's different
Actually it's the same
Leaving us with the same footprints
High mountains and long rivers
Resting our heads on the bright moon at the border
Covered in rain, snow, wind and frost
For the peace of the country
We hold the guns in our hands tightly
Saying it's different
Actually it's the same
We're all yearning for glory
We're all winning glory
This was a military song. We, the soldiers, were singing.
Lu Yan didn't know how to sing, he had never sung before. The pain was burning his voice, the rain was drenching him to the bone, but he was still singing, because he was their light.
Although his body had collapsed, his resilient heart, his unyielding soul, had never collapsed.
He would return with them.
Return to his mother's embrace.
He was giving them strength.
Li Si heard it, the Blood Forces heard it too. At first, one of them sang along, then everyone else joined in, their voices getting louder and louder.
No matter what kind of storm it was, it wouldn't be able to break their bones.
The strength he gave them, it was like their father's hand, the warmth of the sun, they could all feel it.
Everyone slowly straightened their backs, they smiled through their tears, revealing their pearly white teeth.
They sang, not turning back.
No matter how dark it was in front of them, they would walk into the light.
Gradually, everyone disappeared into the distance. Even their singing had disappeared.
Lu Yan closed his eyes, there was a deep sense of fatigue in his pale eyes.
He was listening.
Listening to the sound of the storm.
He was looking.
Looking at the endless darkness.
Was he going to die just like that?
Ah Yan, I'll wait for you. Baby and I will wait for you to come back.
He suddenly heard a crisp voice. Lu Yan's mind was filled with the scene of her squatting in front of him in the hotel room, kissing his amputated leg sincerely.
Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, in the darkness, his brown eyes were like luminous pearls. F * ck, he didn't fall on the battlefield, he didn't die under the enemy's hands, but now he was crushed to death by a tree. How vexing!
He wanted to live!
