Luo You's eyes were still confused, and he was never confused before, as if he was lost in those pictures, almost popping up this sentence from his subconscious: "From today... the family of the deserter will be executed."

Major General Cass was not disappointed or angry by this sentence, his expression was calm and he smiled and said, "Is the terror policy? If someone threatens the person you love, will you choose to obey in fear or resist with decisiveness?"

Luo You's red eyes kept trembling. In this early summer climate, he kept trembling and muttering, "Then... I'll give everyone a exemption... Let them all go home, reunite with their families, and call them back to fight when they have a mission..."

Major General Cass still smiled deeply: "It's very kind, but the birds returning to their nests after the storm usually have no intention of traveling far away."

Under Major General Cas' guidance, Luo You seemed to understand something. He raised his head slightly and frowned slightly, as if he wanted to break through the last fog: "Then... I allow them to bring their families in the war as their own spiritual support."

Major General Cas smiled silently: "I think more people will choose to keep their families in a safe place."

"I give a lot of money to the family of each soldier to relieve the soldiers' worries!"

"Can I understand it as getting something for nothing?" Seeing Luo You's eyes flashing and dark, Major General Cas gently put his hand, just as every boy was lying on a rocking chair when he was a child, and the years went by, the elders who told him about the past, "Love, and concern."

At this time, a breeze blew by and entered the house through the window, mixed with a wonderful warmth. Luo You suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window, where there were heavy shadows of trees. The wind stroking the leaves caused a sound, which was crisp and ethereal.

At this moment, the confusion in Luo You's eyes disappeared, as if it was blown away by the warm wind, showing a smile that had never been seen before: "Soldiers still need to serve in the camp, but I will lift the communication barriers of the death row camp and allow them to freely communicate with their families. In the war, soldiers who stick to the front line and survive can meet their families and stay warm for a day... No! Just one week! If you are unfortunately killed on the battlefield, the pension will be distributed ten times the national standard. And I will build a special camp to accommodate the families of the martyrs, send people to take care of their daily lives, and protect them from any harm!"

"Hahaha..." Major General Cass gently patted Luo You's little hand and smiled kindly, "Child, it seems that I have nothing to teach you."

Luo You shook his head helplessly and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Now it seems that the answer seems very simple."

"There are no complex questions in this world. The answers have always been very simple. The process of exploring the answers is very difficult." Major General Cass narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "I remember you were very young. Before the first year of the Bang De, you must have been a student. Then you must have had such an experience. There are some learning problems that you racked your brains and couldn't think of, but after reading the book, sorting out your thoughts, I found that it was just like that."

Luo You said in surprise: "It's true! How do you know?"

"Hahaha, in your eyes, am I just a lonely old man? I am also a family and children." At this point, Major General Cass was silent for a while, and said in a deep tone, "To be precise, there have been."

The topic became a little heavy, and Luo You asked carefully: "What happened to them later?"

Major General Cas shook his head and said quietly: "It was engulfed by the flames."

"Fire?"

"flame."

Suddenly, Luo You remembered something, and he looked beside him. Early summer had arrived, and the fireplace had completed its mission and was no longer activated. However, Luo You could still clearly remember that in the winter when he had just arrived at the death row camp, Major General Cas ignited the most violent fire in the fireplace. The new firewood and the old firewood kept rolling in the fire, and finally all turned into ashes.

Luo You couldn't help asking, "Who were you before?"

"One of the countless losers, there is no need to raise the ashes of history." Major General Cass leaned out gently, held Luo You's hand, patted the back of his hand, and said deeply, "Those who fear the flames and try to control the flames will be swallowed by the flames."

Luo You looked at Major General Cass' hand. He was old and his wrinkles were filled with the wind and frost of time. He was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Major General Cass, you...I mean, is there anything I can help you with your body? Medicines, supplements, and even those things in the cube that can prolong their lifespan, no matter what grade or how expensive it is, I can exchange it for you."

"Child, I wonder if you have read a book that contains such a sentence. Death is an eternal beacon. No matter where you head, it will eventually turn towards it." Major General Cass let go of Luoyou's hand and leaned back on the sofa. Feng Qingyun said indifferently, "Death is the ending that each of us will face, and it is meaningless to postpone it in vain. Accepting death calmly is the last dignity of human beings in front of the god of death."

Luo You shook his head: "I never thought so much."

"Hahaha, you're still young, and the death of time is too far away for you."

"After you say that, the Chinese teacher gave us an essay topic before: If today is the last day of life, what would you do?" Luo You seemed to open up the topic and talked about family matters affectionately. "I wrote in the essay that if today is the last day of life, I would smash my piggy bank and go to the dim sum stall at the entrance of Xicheng Supermarket with my sister to eat truffle pie for the whole day."

"Hahahahaha!" Major General Cas almost couldn't breathe, laughing while coughing, "What a kid."

Luo You smiled helplessly and said, "It was really too young at that time, just such a little ideal. What about you, Major General Cas, if that day comes, what do you want to do?"

"I... wait! I'll show you." Major General Cass reached out and fumbled on the coffee table. After touching for a long time, he found a secret lattice. He took out a box and opened it. It contained a bottle of old-time Moutai liquor and a whole cigarette. The old man giggled foolishly, as if he had become a naughty childhood. "Xiao Lei was instructed by the medical officer and didn't let me smoke and drink much, which made me greedy!... When my deadline came, I would lie on the bed, drink all the wine in one breath, smoke all the cigarettes, and die in the empty wine bottle and ashes."

Luo You smiled angrily and said, "It's just like that? It's too dull, right?"

"Hahaha, my life is already exciting enough, it's better to be more dull when I die."

Not long after chatting, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the sound of Xiao Lei whistling. Listening to the rhythm, it was the beautiful "Hawthorn Tree".

Major General Cas hurriedly put the box containing the white wine and cigarettes back into the secret compartment, and at the same time he kept silent about Luo You, signaling him to help keep it a secret.

Luo You nodded obediently.

After Xiao Lei came in, he saw Luoyou and Major General Cas sitting together and joked: "Oh, it's really rare. The two of you actually got into the conversation... Major General Cas, the fish soup has been boiled, and I also made a portion of Colonel Luoyou."

Major General Cas nodded as if nothing had happened: "Yeah, thank you."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. I'll be busy with work. After a while, I'll go try the fish soup." Luo You stood up from the sofa. Before leaving the door, he stopped for a while, walked to Major General Cas' desk, took away the bullet with the words "Cas", put it back into his space bag, and finally gave him a standard military salute, and said deeply, "Take care, Major General Cas."
