Chapter 181 A Generation of People Carrying a Burden
...
"It's okay, you can tell me whatever you think. I'm just asking casually, but I still hope to hear your true thoughts."
Seeing that Ling was still not speaking, Geer encouraged her. She hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a decision. Her expression relaxed a lot, and she slowly opened her mouth and asked:
"Captain, can I listen to my story before I answer your question?"
"Of course, please speak quickly."
Gel turned over from the sofa, sat up straighter, put his elbows on his knees and leaned forward slightly. He loved listening to other people telling stories the most.
Ling thought for a moment and then began to tell the story.
"My father died in the war when I was still young. I only saw him in photos. When I grew up, my mother taught me to train hard. There are no male heirs in my family. When I grow up, it is up to me to inherit my father's will and recapture Shandora. I will light the lamp of Shandora to guide my deceased father and the tribesmen and let their heroic spirits return to their hometown."
"We had no land to grow crops on, and food was scarce. Orphans and widows like us were able to get even less food. My mother gave most of the food to me, always saying that she was full. Her health deteriorated day by day, and she died soon after. It must have been a pity that she didn't see me become a Shandia warrior before she left!"
The strong woman said these words with a smile, but it was more heartbreaking to see than crying.
At the side, Ajin and Mosan, who were repairing the cracks on the hull with hammers while the wind was calm, also stopped hammering. Everyone on the boat stopped what they were doing and stood aside quietly listening.
Captain Gill handed her a glass of water. Ling took it but didn't drink it. She continued:
"Later, as they wished, I became a brave Shandia warrior and fought to regain my homeland. To be honest, I have never seen Shandora, nor have I seen what the legendary hometown looks like. I have only seen the cruelty of war."
"We have inherited the hatred and the wish to take back Shandora from generation to generation. We have rushed to the battlefield without hesitation and fought to the death with the Sky Islanders."
"I know that we are fighting to take back the homeland that originally belonged to us. There is no such thing as worthwhile or not. This is what every Shandia should do."
"But when I was pregnant, I often couldn't sleep, worrying that they would have to go to the battlefield like us before they grew up, fighting endlessly until they died one day."
Perhaps because she was thinking of her own children, this strong Shandia female warrior became emotional and her eyes were red. Thors walked silently to her side and put his rough but powerful hand on her shoulder.
Ling looked up at her lover with a grateful smile, then looked at Geer and said firmly:
"So regarding the question you just asked me, my answer is that of course I hope to end this war! I extremely hope that our generation can accomplish the mission of taking back our homeland, so that the next generation of children can live peacefully and happily on the land of their homeland, and no longer have to experience the cruelty and ruthlessness of war!"
Everyone on the boat sat around and listened quietly. Thors clenched his fists excitedly. That's right, as long as the next generation doesn't have to be like them! All the efforts and sacrifices are worth it.
"Well, you are such a great mother. Your answer is very good."
Gel nodded. Although he knew in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, their next generation would still need to go to the battlefield, Gel did not say much.
...
The resistance to a ship sailing on the sea of clouds is very small, and a slight wind can push it forward quickly.
A brief chat also made the Shandia female warrior no longer as nervous as before.
Three women and one drama.
At this time, Ling was already chatting with Biafuni, chattering and answering each other's questions, comparing the differences between Sky Island and Qinghai.
Captain Gel leaned back on the sofa boredly and took out the shell to play with it.
"Hey, Thors, is this the Repelling Shell you gave me?"
Thors, who was standing at the bow, turned his head and looked at the equipment in Gel's hand that was dropped by him when he killed monsters with a complicated expression.
Damn it, this bastard is so shameless, who would give it to you! You obviously stole it from me!
In his heart, he really didn't want to pay any attention to this guy who seemed to be smiling but was actually very bad. He even wanted to beat him up, but when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He could only nod reluctantly.
I feel so bad! The clams are very rare and are almost extinct. Luckily there are still a few in the village. I can only ask the chief to give me one when the time comes.
"Heixixi, Boss Geer, how do you use this? Isn't it said to be a weapon?"
Moria came over and asked curiously.
Seeing that others were also looking over with interest, Geer stood up and said with a smile:
"Then I'll show you my skills."
"Well, come on, Lao Mo, you take it."
Captain Gul would definitely not overestimate his own abilities and go into battle himself. This thing has too much recoil and can easily cripple the user.
"Heiheihei, then what, boss? How do we play?"
Moria took the repelling shell in his hand, put it close to his eyes and stared at the dark hole on it.
"Ah! It's dangerous!"
Seeing his action, Ling and Thors were frightened and shouted loudly at the same time. They rushed forward and prepared to stop this idiot who put his hand on the trigger and dared to look at the muzzle of the gun with his eyes.
Moria was not a man who would not listen to advice, so he moved his hand away from his eyes and aimed it at the couple who were running over.
"Ah! Be careful!"
The two men slammed on the brakes and quickly dodged to the sides, only to see Moria showing a smug smile.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't react so strongly. I'm not an idiot. If you press the protruding part on the back of this thing, attacks will come out from these holes, right?"
The whole shell is so tiny, with a hole on one side and a protruding button-like tail on the other. Moria figured it out after playing with it for a while.
"Asshole, since you figured out how to use it and you pointed the raft at us, you must have done it on purpose."
Thors got up from the ground and said angrily.
"Hehe, don't be angry, I was just joking with you and verifying my guess."
Thors and Ling were speechless after hearing this. What a bunch of people with bad personalities!
