How many people can calmly face death?
In fact, many people can. As long as they have firm faith and desire for rebirth, death is nothing more than an eternal medal for them.
But obviously, the agent from the security committee can''t do this. He doesn''t really believe in God. At least in the world he knows, God has never been sanctified, and the so-called miracles only appear in the records of some churches.
He has a complete family and a child who is about to be born. He has even agreed with the vice chairman that he will take a week off after this stalking. He will go back to meet the moment when the most sacred life comes to the world. He will love his children and wife, and may want more children, and then slowly accompany them to grow old and calmly finish his life that may not be dazzling.
He only never thought that he would die in the task.
Hey, don''t be kidding. He''s a member of the security committee. It''s a special department that cleans up all possible threats to national security and system. They''re the only one who kills people. When do others dare to kill them casually.
He remembered what his dead companion had said the moment before he left the room - he should go back.
Silence is the best way to disguise your inner cowardice. As long as you don''t open your mouth, others won''t know whether your heart is as strong as it appears or has collapsed long ago. Looking at the flame on the lighter in Du fo''s hand and the gesture to throw it out, he couldn''t help thinking of what Du Lin said just now.
He said that when a person''s body temperature drops to a certain extent, he will not feel pain even if he is burned by fire. This sentence seems to be reasonable. In winter, when playing with snow for too long, both hands feel pain when they are frozen, they will be numb. Whether it is more cold stimulation, or stuffed into a warm place, there is no feeling.
He began to think about a question. Does it really hurt?
If it doesn''t hurt, maybe it''s a good choice to sacrifice. Although his family won''t become the hero''s parents and the hero''s wife because of him, they can enjoy more generous benefits from the Empire. From the moment his death is confirmed, his family doesn''t need him to worry about their future life, and his children will receive the best education, His wife doesn''t need to worry about the cost of living.
But... Why are you unwilling?
Strong reluctance!
He told himself, in fact, I don''t want to die!
"I said..." his eyes looked at Turin''s feet, "My name is Eric, the rank of second lieutenant of the Imperial Security Council. This time, we came to the western region to investigate the causes of the unrest in the western region and prevent the intensification of the unrest. According to the requirements and guidance of your Excellency the vice chairman, we took you as the primary target, monitored your residence, and tried to find the real cause of the unrest in the western region. This is me and my dead colleagues The reason for appearing here, I didn''t lie, I promise! "
He took back the lighter in dufo''s hand, and the flame became the past tense, which relieved Eric. At the same time, he felt an unspeakable regret. He regretted why he was so cowardly, why he was so unbearable, and even death would make him almost unable to breathe. He failed a lot of things, including himself , he betrayed his faith and his future.
However, there was a sense of relief in my heart.
Doolin sipped his mouth and pointed at him casually with his cigarette hand. "Get him off, put him on clothes and some hot drinks. I have other things to talk to lieutenant Eric."
At this time, a child rushed over from behind everyone. He ran to a middle-aged man and padded his toes. He said something in the middle-aged man''s ear. The middle-aged man praised the boy unexpectedly, and then went to Du Lin to convey the news the child had just sent.
Seven gold diggers entered the town. They entered the town in three batches. Now they are wandering in the street.
Washiu town can also see gold miners from time to time, but most of these gold miners are lone Rangers. No minerals have been explored near here, and they are not important traffic roads. Except that there is a train station where the train can stop here for replenishment, gold miners can''t find any benefit here at all.
Looting villages?
Maybe this is a way to get rich, but they have to come to more than 1000 people, or more.
Durin asked the middle-aged man to tell the guards in the town to keep an eye on these people. If they leave soon, it''s OK, but if they just ask for something, let them "stay".
With the help of others, Eric put on his clothes, shivered and held a hot iron cup behind Turin and entered the room. There were only Turin and him in the room, both of whom guarded the door.
"Mr. Eric, I apologize for what happened to you just now." Eric was a little overwhelmed by Dooling''s first sentence. He didn''t understand what Dooling wanted to do. He couldn''t even sit in his chair and stood up.
Turin raised his hand and pressed it down. "Don''t be nervous. Sit down so that our communication will be normal, and I don''t like to raise my head to communicate with others." I don''t know which of Turin''s words worked. Eric sat back in his chair. Turin handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "Look, I''m not a difficult person to get along with, and I''m not completely my own person. I bear the future and expectations of many people on my shoulder, and I can''t leave these things alone. Others are willing to believe what you say and give you enough trust, so you shouldn''t live up to these trust, right?"
Eric took a sip of the hot... He looked down and wasn''t sure what it was. It tasted a bit like coffee, but it was more bitter and mellow. It was a kind of thing called tree grape, which was more common in the local area. People cut the tree grape and took out the fruit. After simple processing and baking, it was ground into powder, which became their bitter fruit They call it black coffee.
He quickly raised his head and looked at the position in front of Turin''s chest. He didn''t dare to look straight into Turin''s eyes. "Yes, Mr. Turin. You''re right!"
Du Lin was very satisfied with his answer. "It seems that we have found a direction that both sides can understand. Therefore, in order to keep myself in a safe situation, I will inevitably be very sensitive to malicious or possibly malicious things outside. This is also the reason why I hope you can forgive me." , after getting Eric''s positive answer, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed. "Are you married?"
Eric, who felt extremely tired because of the unexpected question, suddenly shook. Relatively speaking, some hot black coffee was sprinkled on the back of his hand. He didn''t feel pain, "what do you mean?"
"This is just a chat. Seriously, with my ability, I can easily find out all your information after knowing your name and where you work. I can easily know your parents, your relatives, your wife, your children, even whether you have a dog and what the dog''s name is. So this is just a chat. We should It''s time to put aside your prejudices and say something ordinary. Don''t you want to talk to me? "
Eric was silent. Durin didn''t urge him, but just smiled at him. After about a minute, Eric nodded, "yes, I''m married and about to have my first child."
Dooling''s expression was very vivid, "Wow, this is the first good news I heard today. You must love your wife and family very much."
Eric nodded. "Yes, I love them more than anything." As Doolin said, no matter what he hides, Doolin can find out his information through various channels. Instead of reversing the situation that had begun to improve because of such things, it''s better to follow Doolin''s words, and these ordinary dialogues and talking about the family issues he cares about most, he gradually relaxed a lot and became less nervous.
"I also have family. Like you, I love them more than anything. So I want to give them the best things in the world. Even if they want the sun, one day I will use a ship that can fly to heaven to pick off a corner of the sun and give it to them." Turin watched Eric finish smoking his cigarette and gave him another one, "Let''s talk about you. Are you busy? What''s the salary? Oh, I don''t want to inquire about what you do. It''s the same as just now. Just talk. You think I''m curious."
At this time, Turin gave Eric a strange feeling. He couldn''t say, "I''m very busy at work and often away from home for a long time. I have to say that I''m sorry for my family. As for the salary, it''s not a lot. It''s 66 yuan a month. If I''m in the field, there''s a subsidy of three yuan a day." , it was supposed to stop when we got here, but I don''t know what drove Eric. He added, "so everyone is competing for field opportunities. If we can work in the field for a month, all the income will add up to about 200 yuan."
"Two hundred dollars?", Turin sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "it''s very presumptuous. I think you''re very poor... Yes, very poor. You have to leave your family for a month for two hundred dollars, and you have to take a high risk. Maybe when your family will lose a loving son, a reliable husband and a great father!" When he said this, durin took out two hundred dollar bills from his pocket, lit them with a lighter, stretched his hand to light a cigarette for Eric. With a faint smile, he looked straight into Eric''s eyes, "look, it''s gone for a month!"
