Chapter 13: Delivery

"..."

Forget it... That's it. It seems that there is no way to change the problem of incense.

"There are some flaws in personality, and it's a little too systematic to do things. Once I go to the battlefield, I'm worried that he may not be able to deal with it. I think you should also know that people who are usually calm may become more panicked than others in times of crisis."

After the incense swallowed the food in his mouth, he continued.

"I know... This is also a problem that I'm worried about.

After taking a deep breath, Bingyuan said.

"I'll leave the evening to you. It's up to you to tutor them with theoretical knowledge. Is that okay?"

After dinner tonight, Bingyuan picked up the plate used to hold food and stood up to prepare to leave. When he stood up, he said to Youxiang, who was still eating.

"No problem... You're going to deliver something tonight, right?

Youxiang nodded, but there was no joking tone in the tone. Instead, he answered Bingyuan in a sad tone.

"Hmm... I'm going to help her send things back..."

Bingyuan nodded, put the plate into a recycled box, and left the canteen.

He slowly returned to the room, opened his luggage, and took out a silver pocket watch, a box and a letter encapsulated in a crumpled letter. After looking directly at the three things for a long time, he hesitated for a while and took out a girl's hair accessories from his luggage.

The only things that can represent her existence in this world are these three things.

At this time, Bingyuan's mood was extremely complicated, but he couldn't help sighing, stood up, packed these three things in a small package, and walked out.

"I'm going to send something with a horse."

Bingyuan came to the entrance of the barracks, which was also the place where horses were placed, and said to a soldier on duty.

"Is it Lieutenant Bingyuan? Please register the travel time and return time here.

The soldier sitting on a wooden chair and leaning on duty on a table nodded, pulled out a piece of paper from the table and handed it to the ice source, and then pulled out a pen and pressed it on the paper.

"Okay."

Bingyuan nodded, picked up the pen and wrote down his name and purpose, time and place of travel on the paper.

"Give it."

After filling it out, Bingyuan returned the form to the soldier on duty.

"Okay, oh, by the way, sir, there are still some things you want to send together."

The soldier on duty took the form and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he planned to release it, but he seemed to think of something and said.

"Give it, sir."

With that, he picked up a bag from under the table and handed it to Bingyuan. Bingyuan took over the bag. After weighing the weight inside, he nodded and walked to a horse that was ready and carried some supplies at any time.

Bingyuan skillfully stepped on the horse, quickly rushed out of the barracks, and ran to his destination.

"Stepping..."

The sound of horses' hoofs resounded on the road. Bingyuan and the horse in a black military uniform could already make passers-by understand his identity. Pedestrians walking along the way couldn't help but get out of the road and let him pass quickly without any obstruction.

But Bingyuan's mood was not as smooth as the situation along the way. On the contrary, his mood was very heavy at this time.

After riding a horse for about half an hour, Bingyuan finally came to the destination of his trip.

That is a small village on the other side of the nearby town.

The villagers who wandered around after a full meal did not feel any fear when they saw Bingyuan. On the contrary, they were curious about what his lieutenant in the army came here for.

"..."

It was very quiet in the countryside. Several villagers looked at the ice source curiously, including some children who looked yearning for and awe.

Bingyuan raised his head and looked at the wooden house that was not too big in front of him. There were some faint lights in it to show that there were people in it. There were still a few flowers and plants in front of the house, which was very conspicuous at a glance.

"Dong Dong."

After standing outside for a long time, Bingyuan finally stepped forward, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the wooden door a few times.

"Oh...!? Wait a minute... Who is it?

A very cute girl's voice came from the wooden house, followed by a rapid footsteps.

"I'm coming. I'm sorry to wait for a long time."

Then, the wooden door was opened.

The person who opened the door was a girl with long dark hair to her waist and red eyes. She looked less than 160 tall and wore simple casual clothes. At this time, it was almost autumn. The weather was a little cold, but the girl in front of her didn't have many clothes, and there was only one long-sleeved coat. The sleeves were also rolled up, as if they were doing housework.

"Hey...? Soldiers?"

After the girl saw Bingyuan in a dark military uniform, she couldn't help but be stunned and said.

“...... Your name is topaz, right?

Bingyuan looked at her for a moment and said.

I didn't expect such a cute girl.

"Yes... Yes, sir... Excuse me... What's the matter?"

The girl looked at Bingyuan with a little trepidation and said.

"You have a sister named Huang Yulian. She joined the army a few years ago, right?"

The ice source continued.

"Yes... Yes... Please... Excuse me, what happened..."

In an instant, the girl's originally delicate face became a little pale, as if she realized that something bad would happen.

“...... I'm sorry, I tried my best, but I only brought these things back.

Bingyuan had no choice but to take out three things from the bag he had put in the bag before - a box, a pocket watch and a headdress.

When the girl saw the headdress, she seemed to understand something. Her hands trembled and stretched out to the ice source, taking over the box, pocket watch and headdress.

"I'm the captain of her team, Bingyuan. Sorry... I couldn't bring her back... Two months ago, during the retreat of the Central Battle, your sister, Huang Yulian, died in the retreat because of covering the retreat of the friendly troops and sticking to the position. At that time, she was a sergeant, and now she was a third-class lieutenant and awarded the second-class medal of the Golden Armor Patriotism.

Bingyuan lowered his head and said with apologies.

“....... How... How can it be..."

The girl held three things and collapsed on the ground in an instant.

The headdress is undoubtedly the headdress of the fallen topaz.

As her sister, Topaz can naturally recognize the headdress that her sister has worn since she was a child.

As for the box, it contains her ashes.

The pocket watch is a pocket watch given to her by the army when she was promoted to a sergeant when she joined the army, and it was even engraved with the abbreviation of her name - HYL.

At that time... Bingyuan is still celebrating her promotion.

“...... Also, this is her letter.

Bingyuan squatted down, patted the girl on the shoulder in front of him, and then lowered a blood-stained envelope.
