Chapter 51 Andrew's Secret
I don't know why Guy, who was always a bad guy and very interesting, suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees. It was really hard to accept. I don't know what kind of stimulation made this bad guy become sentimental. Then the problem is on the parchment. I know that what is written on it is definitely not a good thing.
As night fell, it was time to rest. I went outside to get a bucket of cold water, wet my palms and gently patted my bruised legs to make me feel better.
This guy Andrew has been acting weird since I finished giving him a lecture. After dinner (I have to say that this dinner was not cooked by the same stove as the usual ones. Such a big bowl of meat made my stomach, which was used to a shabby life, a little uncomfortable! The bread was even spread with honey. Compared with the original mercenary troops, I now know who is the real one!), I don’t know where Andrew disappeared. I simply applied a cold compress and I couldn’t help shivering. I quickly put on my clothes. It was strange that it was time to go to bed, but there was still no sign of Andrew.
Could it be that the guy was afraid of losing his hard-earned property, so he ran away overnight while he was full and strong? No, I have to go look for him! Thinking of this, I took my sword with me for safety reasons. I forgot to say that I decided to bow to the evil forces and accepted the sword that Levi, the second-generation ancestor, gave me. Hehe, there was no other way, that thing was too beautiful!
The camp was closed, and I didn't see the camp gate open again after the barbarians left. Could it be that they climbed over the wall and ran away? I looked at the tall wall made of sharpened wood with doubts. No! Andrew couldn't be so flexible! Then the question of his escape has been concluded, that is, he didn't run away. Where can I find him in such a big camp? I walked along the dark road to the pile of stones where Guy lectured during the day. Through the moonlight, I vaguely saw a figure sitting on the pile of stones, motionless. Because the night was too dark, I couldn't be sure if the black shadow was Andrew. What if it was a wild ghost? If I went forward rashly, would my soul be hooked away! There was nothing I could do about it. I had seen too much killing, and my mentality would be more or less weakened.
“Andrew?”
I called him tentatively, but he didn't respond.
“Andrew?”
I raised my voice an octave and even drew my sword. At least if that ghost suddenly pounced on me, I could give him a taste of his own medicine! "If I don't agree, will you stab me directly?"
It was Andrew's voice. It seemed that he was fine. I felt relieved now. Without thinking too much, I sheathed the sword and slowly walked to his side.
"What's wrong?" I patted his shoulder. "Did the chief centurion bring back memories that you don't want to mention?"
"well!"
Andrew sighed deeply in the dark night, then he shook his head and said, "It's good to have amnesia, isn't it, Luka?"
"Amnesia?"
I was confused and didn't know what Andrew meant by this.
"Haven't you felt it yet, Luka?" Andrew seemed to know something. "I told you, it's good to have amnesia."
"Andrew," I said in confusion, "you have confused me!"
"Didn't you hear something from Guy's tone today?" Andrew turned his head and I knew by feeling that he was staring at me in the dark: "Don't you realize how similar his remarks are to what our chief centurion said to us when we were on the way to Narpang!"
"You mean we're going to face war?"
"Ha, that will be a real battle! Hehehe..." Andrew lowered his head and pinched his throat to let out a laugh that sounded like self-abandonment.
"Andrew!" I put my hand on his shoulder and said to him, "I know you still miss the land you worked so hard for. But Andrew, this does not match the glory you told me about at the beginning!"
"No, you don't understand, Luca!" Andrew just shook his head. "You don't understand how important land and a comfortable life are to me! Have you ever thought about Tenaia? Although it seems that you don't like her that much."
When I mentioned Tenaia, I thought of the treacherous little woman who had lived a peaceful life in Genoa. She reminded me of the embarrassing moment when I was trapped by her, and I couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at, idiot?"
"No, I just suddenly felt how could I be so stupid. I was the only one deceived by this girl's idiotic trick. Although I don't know when I promised to marry her, I still have many happy memories of this girl, even though she is hateful."
"Ha, Luca, I told you that you are still attracted to her!" Andrew said with a smile.
"Hey, what? Heartbeat?"
I hurriedly covered it up. At this moment, I had no idea what I was thinking. I had not thought of her for a while, which was a strong proof that I had no feelings for her. But why did the language always seem so pale? I thought of Xiaoya again, the girl who broke my heart. Although we were separated by more than a dozen centuries, I still knew that she existed, but not now, but in my dreams. However, every time I dreamed of her, a thin veil would fall on the face that I admired. I dared not touch her cheek to wipe away the thin veil for her, for fear of leaving horrible scars on her fair skin again.
This reminds me of what the ancient Roman poet Ovid once said: There is a fairy in everyone's heart. Maybe Xiaoya is the fairy in my heart, who can be admired from afar but not played with.
"What about you, Andrew?" After thinking about it, I still asked him again: "What exactly made you so scared? You were not like this when you were attacking the city!"
"Lose" Andrew said the word, "I am afraid of losing the people around me, everything I have gained, and the love in my heart again. You know, Luca, I am not afraid of wild dogs!"

"Not afraid of wild dogs?"
This reminded me of the pitiful look of that guy when I first saw him on the battlefield. He waved his iron sword to try to threaten the wild dogs approaching him. But at this time he said that he was not afraid of the wild dogs at that time.
Andrew was silent for a long time before he stammered to me, "Luga, actually, actually I have hidden something from you. I have a wife." As he said that, he took out a golden ring from his arms. Although the light was dim, I could see the golden light flashing from the ring in the reflected moonlight.
"I spent all my fortune to make this for my wife. There are two rings in total." Andrew said, staring at the ring blankly, "One is in her hand, and the other is with me. You can't imagine that she cried when she saw the ring, but it's still so beautiful!"
"So this is why you're afraid of death?"
"No, it's more than that." Andrew shook his head. "I can't die because we have no money and I can't support her. I must get land, so I have to join the army." Andrew put the ring away and continued, "I joined the army, so my wife got the land. She can farm and support herself and the children." As he spoke, Andrew laughed out loud, just like I did just now.
"Andrew," I smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You are moved!"
