Chapter 44

The moonlight is like washing.

Mrs. Sonia Roman, a 70-year-old starch washer in Wolfheze village, slowly opened her eyes.

As she got older, the quality of her sleep got worse and worse. Coupled with the dull sound of explosions and the sharp whistling of anti-aircraft gunfire at night, Sonia hardly fell asleep.

However, at this moment, apart from sporadic gunshots, the environment was barely quiet.

It's a pity that the old woman was so frightened that she was sleepy. She put on her shoes and dressing gown, opened the door and walked towards the toilet.

At this moment, the garden was extremely quiet, except for the strange shadows falling from the hedgerows, there was no abnormal phenomenon.

But not long after, the old lady Sonia suddenly caught a glimpse of the apple tree in the corner of the garden moving. She was terrified, rushed back to the bedroom and locked the door, shouting: "Jesus Christ bless you!"

Almost at the same time, Lu Li and Monk came to the fence of this family.

Obviously, both of them were very embarrassed, one was scared, while the other was simply too tired.

"Go in and hide!"

As he said that, Lu Li squatted down, bent his elbows and put them on his chest, with obvious intentions——

Let Monk step on it and flip it in.

"Boss, what do you do then? Why don't I come, there is a haystack next to me, I will go in and hide..."

Francis Monk shook his head. In addition to the time on the plane, the squad leader had already saved himself twice, so no matter what, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Don't be naughty, I can crawl in." Lu Li licked his chapped lips and scolded, "Go!"

Seeing this, Monk nodded fiercely with tears in his eyes. He felt that there was no one in the world who cared more about his subordinates than Sergeant Lu Li.

Of course, the movement was unambiguous, and with that elbow, he rolled into the courtyard in one fell swoop.

Just as this guy was praying for Lu Li, a black shadow descended from the sky, and immediately rolled on the ground, losing his strength.

"Sir, you..."

Monk stood there awkwardly. If I remember correctly, the fence was three meters high.

"Quiet!" Lu Li squinted at him, lying behind a tree to observe the situation in the courtyard.

At the same time, Mrs. Sonia was secretly looking at the two uninvited guests——

The tall, slender figure who stood still, with high cheekbones and nose bridge, and a face so painted with oil paint, looked like a ghost, terrifying in the extreme.

As for the guy lying behind the apple tree, he was covered by a cloud of shade, so he couldn't see clearly.

However, at this moment, Lu Li, whose five senses were sharpened due to the activation of his blood, sensed that someone was peeping, and subconsciously looked towards the room on the left.

The four eyes are facing each other.

In the darkness, Lu Li's eyes were faintly glowing green.

The old lady was instantly out of her wits, staring at him blankly, her breath was suffocated.

After confirming that there was no danger, Lu Li walked from the shadows, raised a finger to his lips, and signaled her to keep quiet.

It's a pity that the old lady was really scared. After recovering, she lifted the hem of her nightgown and rushed to her husband's room, where there was an old-fashioned shotgun for self-defense.

"Boss, the mistress of this house doesn't seem to welcome us." Monk shrugged helplessly when he heard the movement in the room: "If the Germans come in to search, it's really over, there's nowhere to go If you want to escape, it’s better to find a haystack to hide in.”

"Hold on for a while, I'm the non-commissioned officer." Lu Li patted the guy on the shoulder, pulled out his saber, and walked towards another apple tree: "What are you doing here, hurry up and help."

There was a paratrooper hanging from that tree.

The armband on the arm shows that he is also from the 1st Airborne Division and is a red devil.

It's a pity that his own situation is extremely poor.

When he heard footsteps coming, the paratrooper opened his eyes, stared at Lu Li and Monk for a while, and begged, "Friend, please shoot me and kill me."

Seeing this, Monk pulled out his gun and wanted to shoot at the tangled umbrella wires—a normal person who could do it would kill his companions.

"Do you want to lure the German over here?" Lu Li squeezed the finger that was about to be snapped off, and showed Francis the miracle again.

The next moment, a paratrooper knife about ten centimeters long pierced the tree trunk, the paratrooper rope was cut, and a black shadow fell.

After catching the wounded, Lu Li flattened him on the ground and asked lightly, "Dude, where did you get injured?"

"I was shot..."

John Steele spoke weakly, and begged again: "Brother, give me a good time, just bury the body under that tree, and ship it back to England after the operation is over."

"Don't leave me with the Germans, please..."

Between life and death, the terrific upbringing shown by his seriously injured companion stunned recruit Monk.

"Don't be nervous, I have medicine with me."

Seeing that he still had the strength to speak, Lu Li felt relieved. While patting the wounded man's cheek to make sure he was not distracted, he comforted him, "Persist a little longer, the army will arrive soon, and the military doctor will heal you."

In fact, even with the camouflage paint on the face, it can be seen that the wounded soldier is young and has some baby fat.

【John Steele】

Lu Li withdrew his gaze from the military badge, and had a clearer understanding of the situation in his heart. Perhaps the paratrooper team leading to the Reyes camp farm had also suffered a devastating blow.

"Thanks……"

John squinted his eyes, rested his head on the slate, and began to recall what happened two hours ago.

The transport plane was under fire from anti-aircraft guns, and the pilot was reimbursed before he could press the light switch. Therefore, the leading sergeant could only order everyone to jump from a height of 600 meters, while the standard skydiving height is 244 meters.

The only good thing is that his main parachute opened smoothly, but on the way to land, his foot was hit by a stray bullet.

Bad luck followed, first the parachute hung on the apple tree, and then as time went by, the blood trickled down the wound, and I don't know how much it flowed.

At this time, Lu Li also noticed that the sole of John's left boot was soaked in blood, and the wound was obviously on his leg.

"Gentlemen, where are you from?"

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind, and Monk trembled in shock, and hurriedly half-knelt on the ground, raising his gun to attack.

"England..."

Lu Li turned sideways and nodded towards the speaker, because he didn't think an old man with gray hair would have the courage to shoot. After all, there were three soldiers here, and the old shotgun could only injure one person at most.

Moreover, Lu Li didn't feel any malice from the old man, especially when he heard that he had reported to the house, he threw the gun to the ground.

"Yes, British soldier, yes."

The old man came with a smile, and after hearing the news, Mrs. Sonia, who was hiding at home, ran over with a jug of milk.

"What's wrong with this soldier? I have been a veterinarian for several years, so I can help."
