C602 Bathing in the Fire
C602 Bathing in the Fire
After all, he had just arrived and did not know the whole story of the attack. He did not have any hatred for these humans, and the mission he received was only to ensure Na's survival, and not to kill all the attackers.
Therefore, Du Kang chose a more sincere way.
He threw back all the arrows that were shot at him.
Since he had decided to shoot the arrows to take people's lives, he shouldn't have any complaints about being killed by the arrows he shot. There had never been any saying that one could only kill and not be killed. Before picking up a weapon and preparing to kill someone to draw blood, one naturally had to be aware of dying on the battlefield.
It had nothing to do with right or wrong. This was the spiral of slaughter.
One for one, and one for one. Du Kang felt that this was very fair.
Of course, Du Kang also did not forget the officer who shouted that he wanted to shoot him to death. As for this guy who only gave orders but did not draw his bow, Du Kang directly twisted the leg of the chair that he had just torn down onto his face.
As the morning sun rose, the disturbance that lasted throughout the night finally came to an end. The attackers died. Those who escaped, only the remaining villagers were still crying in the ruins. They seemed to be glad that they could survive, or they were simply venting their emotions. Some people would use stones or wooden sticks to smash the bodies of the attackers. They would smash and shout at the same time to vent their hatred. However, most people still chose to hug the bodies of their loved ones and cry out loud.
The war closed the gap between the living and the dead.
Du Kang had already seen many similar scenes.
However, these things had nothing to do with him. The promise he made to Jacques was just to let that child called Na live. Now, he had even saved the mother of the child. It was already considered as completing the mission.
In other words, his sacrifice was worthy of the value of the recipe.
With this thought, Du Kang temporarily put the two "bears" on the ground and took out the stack of papers that Jacques had given him before he died.
Du Kang had to admit that although it was just a remote place, Jacques's family's craftsmanship was indeed worthy of praise. Although the dishes in the city were not as exquisite and crude as the dishes in the city, they had their own pride and taste. If he could learn it, when he was having dinner with octopus head and the others in the future...
"Sigh! This motherf * cker..."
Du Kang cursed in his heart. He was so angry that he threw the paper in his hand onto the ground.
The recipe was indeed written on the paper. Du Kang even saw the pictures of food on the paper, but he did not recognize the rest of the words. Those messy things could not even be counted as letters, let alone words.
Du Kang thought he had learned enough languages, but he still could not understand what was written on the paper.
In other words...
"Gan..."
Du Kang slapped his forehead in frustration.
Obviously, he had been tricked.
Sighing, Du Kang picked up the recipe from the ground again.
Fortunately, although he had been tricked, the situation was not too serious and there was still a way to remedy it.
Looking at the woman who was as strong as a brown bear on the ground, Du Kang nodded his head.
At least the person who cooked was still alive.
He could still learn.

"God, please bless these souls that have passed away, and keep us away from fear and sin, amy"
In the graveyard behind the village, a fat priest pointed at the corpse in front of him and waved his hand.
"Let's begin."
A few men carrying shovels walked over and put the sack containing the dead body into the large pit that they had dug hastily. The pit wasn't deep, and the bag wasn't thick either. Standing by the side of the pit, na could clearly see the outline of the corpse.
She couldn't be any more familiar with that figure.
That was her father.
"If you want to cry, then cry, child."
Shen Pu couldn't help but sigh when he saw Rena standing blankly in front of the corpse.
Unlike the previous attacks, the English Army soldiers were obviously targeting Jacques's house this time. It seemed like they hadn't washed the village clean the last few times. They had made the soldiers of the English Army remember Jacques. What did Longbow Archer's night attack mean? Even if Shenfu didn't know much about war, he knew very well what it meant. The soldiers of English Army had no intention of robbing anyone. They just came here to kill people.
However, the English Army, who had come from afar, had neglected an even more dangerous person.
A trace of cold sweat seeped out of Shen Pu's forehead as he sized up Na's terrifyingly sturdy body.
Due to his love for his precious daughter, Jacques had never brought Na to the battlefield.
But it was this Na Na who had never been to the battlefield before, and she had forced all the attacking soldiers to retreat in the chaos of that night.
If all that Na had displayed in the past was a monstrous power, then... Every archer had been killed by an arrow, and yet she was still holding a bow in her hands. Not even a bow. This kind of martial arts was no longer something a human could achieve.
So...
"Old Jacques is a good man..."
A trace of grief appeared on Shen Fu's face.
"If it wasn't for him leading those young men, the building would have been gone a long time ago... Forget it, let's not talk about these sad things. If you need anything in the future, come to me. Everyone in the village will help. "
Therefore, he must not let this child go crazy because he lost his father. That might be even more terrifying than the English Army's attack.
Under the persuasion of the Divine Pu, na didn't have any reaction. She just stared blankly at the corpse in the pit.
"Alright, child, it's all in the past."
The Divine Pu patted Rena's shoulder.
"My condolences."
"Alright."
This caused Na to subconsciously nod her head. However, the conversation before the funeral was still reverberating in her mind.
...
"Why didn't you save your father..."
The black armor sighed.
"I can't save him. Medicine can only save the living, but it can't save the dead. By the time your father rushed in front of me, he had already lost his life. What medicine do I have? It's useless... Think about it, at least your mother is still alive. "
" But why didn't you kill all those Brits? "
His voice was still as clear as spring water. However, na's eyes were filled with tears of blood, and her pair of iron fists were filled with veins.
"You can do it! Right! Why not kill them all!? Why did they let them escape alive! Why..."
" There's not that much of a reason. "
The black armor only shook the stack of paper in his hand.
"Your father and I only promised to keep you alive. I have no obligation to kill for you. Besides, since those people didn't shoot me and chose to run away, I naturally don't have any arrows to return to them. That's all. "
...
That's all?
Shovel after shovel of dirt covered the gunny sack, and the corpse was gradually buried.
However, in Na's mind, the memories regarding her father became increasingly clear.
"Little Jean Na, actually, you don't have to find someone who can beat you to get married... Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Back then, she followed Dad not because Dad could beat her. In the future... just pick someone you like. Even if you don't get married, it's not a problem. Anyway, it's true that you live a happy life. "
What his father had said before, how his father looked like when he held a sword. When his father stabbed her with stubble when he was young, he scolded her and prepared a sumptuous dinner for her...
The messy memories kept spinning in Na's mind.
"Are you happier..."
Na pulled out a stiff smile.
Even if she could find a good husband, her father's smile could not be seen again.
So...
"Be happy."
A liquid flowed down to let Na's face.
If he killed all those Brits, his father should be happy.
