The sky is bright.
The road wasn't slippery, but the grass along the dirt road was covered with a layer of frost.
Lu Ye carried Violet on his back, with a rope tied around his waist. The rope dragged the firework box, leaving shallow marks on the ground.
This is definitely a physically demanding job.
In the past, Lu Ye would have already started complaining.
But he was very quiet today and didn't say a word.
The only sounds in the air were soft breathing and the peaceful breathing of a sleeping girl.
Walking on the slightly overgrown road, the cold air stung my nostrils.
What to say.
It's kind of like a spring outing?
Although it is winter now.
But the early spring I remember was a little colder than it is now.
Lu Ye thought of those childish faces that had long since faded from his memory.
Many years ago, he backed down because of his timidity.
That's why he's here today.
In fact, Lu Ye knew that his relationship with the people in this city wasn't particularly close.
But I'm just not willing to accept it.
They had a chance to stop it, but they backed down.
This is something that would make anyone unhappy.
It's understandable if the fear stems from the prospect of changing the future of something.
Even though faces have long since become blurred, and names can no longer be remembered, the dust of memory is frozen like snow...
The entire class seemed to still be preoccupied with Lu Ye's feelings.
It wasn't that they were clinging to Lu Ye; it was just that Lu Ye himself couldn't let go.
It's okay to be angry.
It is okay to be sad.
It is okay to be afraid.
So... at least you can't regret it.
So... at least for now, we can't complain.
Because this is something done with courage and justice.
"Because I'm someone who hates tragedies... Violet."
Lu Ye exhaled a breath of white air.
Snowflakes gradually began to fall from the sky.
…………
After a four-hour trek, with frequent stops along the way, Lu Ye finally arrived at the village.
There are several villages nearby, and they are not far apart.
But the village is mostly populated by elderly people and children.
Because the young people have already crossed the mountains and gone to the cities and ports.
The people who hosted Lu Ye were an elderly couple from a village to the east.
Although it was an old-fashioned house, the burning firewood made the interior very warm.
Lu Ye simply explained that he was traveling.
Violet was resting in the inner room.
She usually wakes up around lunchtime, but given that she stayed up late last night, she might not wake up until 2 or 3 pm.
"What a rare day!" The homeowner gazed at the sky outside the window.
"Rare?" Lu Ye asked.
“Yes, in this country, even in winter, snowfall is not common.” The old man sipped his coarse tea. “My mother used to say that snow is not as good as rain, and that when it snows, something bad will happen.”
Lu Ye understood that snowfall in Leiden was not common.
However, the fact that snow is not as good as rain is puzzling.
"why?"
"Because in winter, the snow doesn't melt on its own, and it's a hassle to shovel snow every day before going out. Last year or the year before, it snowed, and I fell and hurt my back while shoveling snow at the door."
Lu Ye thought to herself that it was a really strong reason.
"By the way, you said you were going on a trip, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the other side of the swamp."
"That won't do. There are troops there; ordinary people aren't allowed to pass."
"Passing by quietly?"
“That’s dangerous too. That swamp is huge, and we don’t dare go there… Before the city developed and the railway came along, more than a dozen people died in that swamp every year. If they were lucky, they could retrieve the bodies, but if they were unlucky, they were buried under the mud and could never be found.”
"Is there no way to get through there?"
"Yes, there is. You can take a detour, it's the road on the east side of the village, but it takes much longer and cars can't pass through. The road is too narrow, it's even difficult for two people to walk side by side."
Lu Ye seemed to have thought of something.
"Does that road circle around the swamp?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"I was just asking out of curiosity."
“You’re going on an adventure like this…” the old man said slowly, “but it’s really enviable to go on an adventure with a beautiful girl.”
boom! !
With a dull thud, the old man took a solid hit from his wife.
"You're such a chatterbox! How old are you!"
"I was just remarking on the lifestyle of young people..."
The elderly couple were bickering, and Lu Ye didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only obediently drink his tea.
The conversation continued only after the anger subsided.
“But I still advise you not to go to that place. That swamp, even if it’s protecting us, it’s also threatening us. It’s too dangerous there. If you’re unlucky, you could just disappear while walking there. Even the enemy doesn’t dare to attack.” The old man kindly advised, “Rest here for a day and then go back. It’s so cold. It’s much more comfortable to stay at home.”
Even his wife, who was preparing lunch, was trying to persuade him.
Faced with the couple's goodwill, Lu Ye readily agreed.
But this only strengthened his resolve.
Verdon's raid was intended to create indiscriminate killing.
As for who was behind this incident, Lu Ye had a vague idea in his mind.
If Verdon's raiding force really does attack, then the villages in the vicinity will likely be the first to suffer.
If I go back, you two probably won't be able to comfortably stay at home anymore...
Chapter 81 There's a mole.
Violet didn't get up until 2 p.m.
After chatting with the elderly for a while, she became very popular.
After all, who wouldn't like such a beautiful and innocent girl?
The elderly couple has only had one son who works away from home for many years, and he only comes back a few times a year.
In their words...
A mistake made in the pursuit of pleasure when I was young.
At this moment, they found in Violet a feeling similar to that of a daughter... and also somewhat like that of a granddaughter, as if they had made up for the regrets of their lives and that their lives had reached a state of perfection.
Lu Ye also rested for a while during this time.
When he got up, he saw the old couple circling around Violet and thought he was seeing things.
Those who didn't know better might think Violet was their biological daughter.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.
After enjoying a carefully prepared dinner and bidding farewell to the elders, Lu Ye left the village with Violet.
Here is the plan.
First, the explosion was designed to draw the attention of Leiden's military.
Second, cut off Verdun's transportation routes.
To be on the safe side, both of these points should be achieved simultaneously.
Actually, there is an even simpler way.
That would be to hand over Verdon's informants, who had been interrogated previously, to the military for further interrogation, thus crumbling Verdon's plan.
But Lu Ye dared not.
The reason is simple.
There was a mole in Leiden's army.
It was this mole who provided Verdon with the intelligence.
