Chapter 72: The Conversation of Men
"Let's talk."
Kuma said, and he just sat down.
There are still small stools around, but they definitely can't tolerate Kuma's body shape, and he seems to be used to this situation.
Even so, Kuma sitting was a little taller than Yi Chen standing.
"For example, does [Life Discussion] feel like this?" Yi Chen grinned.
Kuma also smiled and said, "It's a man's topic!"
"I'm a woman."
The doctor interrupted.
"But before that," Kuma said, facing Yi Chen, then lowered his head: "It seems that I still think about human nature too simply. I just denied your humanity view before. I am so sorry!"
"Uh...this is nothing."
Everyone has their own opinions, and people are improving and mature at all times. Even adults in the eyes of children and seniors in the eyes of younger generations seem very superficial in the face of this world. Even at the moment before death, people are constantly maturing and improving.
"I think you all know my past, I've been to the battlefield."
Kumar said, and he began to tell his own story.
"As you guessed, I... developed fear of the battlefield."
In the eyes of Yi Chen and Bai Chuan, Kuma buried his head deeply.
"It's not blood and killing. For Kaishi, it's something that should have been used to. What I fear... is the land of war, the people in the war. They had nothing to do with this terrible thing. War and other things should have allowed the strongest men to go to the battlefield, but on the battlefield, I can see the corpses, those...incomplete bodies, women, old people, and children."
"Are they the bodies of those whose homes were affected by war?" Kashikawa asked, then replied: "It must be, but this kind of thing cannot be avoided no matter what."
"..." Yi Chen remained silent.
"I saw despair in the eyes of those guys. It was obviously just a little devil who was less than ten years old... Why did he have such a look? When I came back, I didn't even dare to look directly at them."
That war was a war to suppress the rebellious forces.
Three places in the federal government have been separated from the government's control. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the government has always used very decisive or direct and cruel methods to solve the problem in the handling of local private forces.
Perhaps the terrorists were the ones who started the war, but once the war started, in the later stage, no matter here or there, any soldier who participated in the war would be unable to escape his sins.
The direct victims are civilians in the war zone, collecting grain and money in various places... Today is the people who are rebel forces, and tomorrow is the people who are from the government army. In short, when they fight, they consume the money of civilians. And when the war is over, there is also the so-called "reward" - to put it bluntly, it is to plunder, rob women, and rob money.
However, compared with wars, the reasons caused by these wars can even be said to be childish and ridiculous.
Imbalance in interests, or offense by untouchables on those in power.
"People with backgrounds came from the military power, and those without background gathered the rebels around them, and then became more and more intense."
Kuma's words were very heavy.
At this time, even Bai Chuan, who had always been smiling, was speechless.
Only those who experience the battlefield personally are eligible to comment on this.
Finally, Kuma said, "I like these little devils very much because I came out of here, so I will make money very hard, even if I participate in those dangerous jobs. But it was after I saw it from the war that I retired from the profession of Kaishi, compared to money... Sure enough, I still want these little devils who have no parents to laugh happily, as long as this is the best."
"That's how..."
Yi Chen said, looking at the huge building of the orphanage behind him.
Those little kids were laughing happily inside, and even without parents, they could laugh like normal children.
"They are very happy, much happier than me."
Then he turned his face and faced Kumar: "But you are timid because of this kind of thing - just that kind of scene retreats, I don't agree with this!"
Just that picture!
In terms of age, Yi Chen may be the youngest of the three.
However, in terms of experience, even Kuma is difficult to compare with Yi Chen.
"What did you say!"
Bai Chuan grabbed Yi Chen's collar, and this time she was really angry.
That's a war! It's a battlefield! Faced with such cruel topics, she remembered more than once the first-hand battlefield videos and pictures played by the old military doctor in class during her study period.
Although it is not a personal experience, the absurd eyes of those corpses, even if they are placed in the video and pictures, cannot eliminate the cruel facts contained in it.
"War! That's war, that kind-"
"——That's not even a war, it's just a [small conflict], just a [small]!"
When it comes to commenting on things like this, only those who stand at the same starting point are qualified to question the other party.
Through photos and videos, people who understand the cruelty of war are qualified to teach lessons to those who have never seen the corners of war but have the courage to speak out loudly.
Veterans who have experienced war are also qualified to tell others about how war is.
However, for Yi Chen, they lost this qualification.
Identities should be altered, and the cruel side of the world should be Yi Chen.
"Do you want to hear it? The place where I once lived, two months ago, I just came from there."
His hand was pressed on Baichuan's.
The latter felt palpitations inexplicably, as if he was suddenly climbed onto his arm by a poisonous spider. It was lightning-fire. Bai Chuan subconsciously let go of Yi Chen's collar.
"Are you scared by me?"
Baichuan and Kuma looked at Yi Chen, and their eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
That face looked clearly harmless and had a faint smile, but why did it make people feel extremely dangerous and terrifying?
"You seem to..."
The person who spoke was Kuma. He remembered that he had seen such an expression from somewhere, on the battlefield... but he was not as good as Yi Chen now.
He asked, "...Mr. Yi Chen, have you seen wars too?"
"War? What I said is not war, it's just [small conflict], that's all." Yi Chen said, aggravating his tone and correcting the error in Kuma's words
