"Captain, I can't take it anymore. I might have to die here.”
"No, Little Zhao, I can't leave you here alone.”Yang Hao looked at Little Zhao, who was covered in injuries, with tears in his eyes. All of this was caused by him. If it wasn't for him, this wouldn't have happened.
"Captain, you don't have to blame yourself. We don't blame you. Besides, I won't be lonely here.”Although Little Zhao said it casually, his eyes were filled with helplessness.
Yang Hao felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. It was so painful that he found it difficult to breathe. He hated himself for being useless and not strong enough. It was precisely because he was not strong enough that his brothers were slaughtered. They were slaughtered without any suspense.
"Boom ~~~~" The torrential rain mixed with the sound of thunder began to play in the sky.
Yang Hao immediately knelt on the ground. This was what he should do. It was to kneel in front of his brothers who had fallen into eternal sleep because of him.
He kept kowtowing. Blood stained his forehead, but he didn't feel any pain. He kowtowed one after another, wanting to ask for forgiveness from his brothers. However, he knew that it was impossible.
"Captain, don't be like this. We don't blame you.”When Little Zhao saw his respected captain kneel down to them, he was extremely anxious. He did not dare to ask his captain to kneel down to him. He believed that his brothers would not dare to either.
"Little Zhao, I've let you down. I've let my brothers down.”Every time Yang Hao spoke, he would kowtow.
Blood flowed down Yang Hao's face to his lips and neck, but he ignored it and allowed the slightly fishy blood to flow into his mouth and onto the ground.
"Captain, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. Please don't do this, you'll make me die with regrets, and you'll make the other brothers die with regrets.”Little Zhao was covered in wounds, the most serious of which was his left arm. His entire left arm had been blown up by the bomb, leaving only a bloody wound.
"Little Zhao, I will definitely repay you and my brothers in the next life.”Yang Hao knew that he would never be able to return the favor he owed him in this lifetime.
"Captain, I am very happy to be able to work with you and fight together. Please don't lower yourself like this. No one wants to become like this. We don't want to, and neither do you.”
"Little Zhao, don't worry, I will never abandon any of you. We will always be a team, an invincible team. You rest well, I will go and avenge my brothers.”Yang Hao supported Little Zhao and wanted to leave.
"Captain, did you let me down?”Little Zhao gave his right arm a hard slap, and he fell to the ground because he had no one to support him. He was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat and coughed non-stop." Yes, I've let you down. I'm not worthy of being your captain."”Yang Hao obviously didn't expect Little Zhao to ask such a question. This made him slightly stunned.
"Alright, since you've let me down, then you'll return the favor.”Little Zhao stopped Yang Hao from helping him up. He stood up with great effort.
Looking at Little Zhao, who was trembling and about to collapse at any moment, Yang Hao's heart was bleeding. If possible, he would rather replace Little Zhao himself.
"What's wrong? Won't return my favor? Are you unwilling to agree?" Little Zhao's eyes grew colder and colder. He didn't have much time, and he couldn't stay here for long. He started to get anxious.
"Little Zhao, tell me, even if I have to die, I will definitely help you complete it.”Although Yang Hao had his reasons for saying this, he had no choice but to agree. He had also seen Little Zhao's eyes becoming more and more lifeless. His injuries were too serious. It was already a miracle that he could last until now. Therefore, Yang Hao did not want to disappoint his last brother. Even if he had to go through a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, he would not frown.
Little Zhao smiled happily when he saw that his captain had agreed. His captain was a man of his word. He would definitely keep his promise.
"I want you to leave immediately and return to the country to live well.”Little Zhao stated his request.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I would never do that.”Although Yang Hao was already mentally prepared, he never thought that Little Zhao would make him a deserter.
"Captain, listen to me first. I want you to go back to the country and help me take care of my sister. If I leave, she will be the only one left.”After Little Zhao finished speaking, he started coughing non-stop.
Yang Hao's fingers were about to stab into his flesh, and blood flowed down the gaps between his fingers and dripped onto the ground. He never dreamed that Little Zhao would use this move.
"What's wrong? He didn't agree? Forget it, then. Pretend I didn't say anything." Little Zhao knew that his captain was struggling, so he had to strike while the iron was hot.
Looking at Little Zhao's disappointed expression, Yang Hao turned his face away and wiped the tiger tears from his eyes.
"Alright, I promise you." Yang Hao had no other choice. He already owed his brothers too much, and he couldn't owe them any more. He would just treat it as his own selfishness. No matter what, he had to let Little Zhao leave in peace.
This time, Little Zhao really smiled. He revealed a knowing smile and then slowly fell down.
The rain in the sky became even heavier. Even the thunder kept roaring, as if it was sad for Little Zhao's death. The thunder represented the cry of the heavens, and the rain was the tears of the heavens.
"No ~~~~" Yang Hao suddenly shouted out loud as he watched Little Zhao slowly fall to the ground.
Yang Hao, who was covered in sweat, knew that he was dreaming again. He let out a long sigh and reached out his trembling left hand to take out a cigarette from the small table beside him. After lighting it up, he took a few deep puffs, letting the smoke enter his lungs and come up from them.
After finishing his cigarette, Yang Hao's trembling hands felt slightly better. He got up from the bed and walked to the window. He looked outside. At this time, it was raining heavily outside, and the thunder kept roaring. This scene was just like that night a year ago.
Yang Hao took out a few cigarettes, lit them, and placed them on the window. He looked up at the cloudy sky.
"Little Zhao, Hu Zi, Wang Meng, Fatty, come over and smoke. Captain is treating you.”
Yang Hao missed them. He missed his brothers who had gone through life and death with him.
"Brothers, you guys go first. I'll be right behind you. At that time, we can conquer the world together, smoke together, pick up girls together, and drink together.”
The heavy rain outside didn't seem to have stopped. The thunder and lightning continued. The more it was like this night, the more Yang Hao remembered what happened that day and his brothers who were sleeping underground.
After the cigarette on the window was burned out, Yang Hao took out a few more cigarettes. He knew that his brothers were all like him, heavy drinkers who needed two packs a day.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family. In my lifetime, they are my family, and I will not mistreat them.”Yang Hao slowly closed his eyes and let his tears fall.
There were many times when Yang Hao really wanted to die with his brothers. There was really no meaning in living like this, but he couldn't. He promised Little Zhao that he would live well and take good care of his sister. Yang Hao couldn't break his promise. This was the only thing he could do for his brothers. It could also be considered as making up for the mistakes he had made in the past and atoning for his mistakes.
What Yang Hao didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes looking at him from behind. The pair of eyes through the crack in the door were already red and swollen. It seemed that they had been there for a long, long time.
