Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Now, just by looking at the smile on Xixiang's face, Liu Quan can guess what his decision is.

...consistent with his choices in history.

He is still a tough guy, and has no intention of evading responsibility, coveting life and fearing death.

However, that's the end of it.

When Xixiang Takamori announced his decision loudly—"I will never accept the proposal of surrender"—after that, people fell to their knees on the ground instantly.

Liu Quan was very surprised to see that these people who were almost at the end of their strength, dirty, hungry, injured and tired, could still react so quickly.

They shouted "Please accept, Mr. Xixiang!", "As long as you survive, we will make a comeback one day!", "I want you to live no matter what, sir!" and so on. Finally, everyone's shouts gradually converged into one sentence——

"Please live on! Mr. Xixiang!"

A group of people summoned up their last strength, shouted that sentence almost in unison, the voice fell, and this square inch fell into a short and strange silence for a while.

As the mountain wind blew, the flags hanging on the trees on both sides with big words "New Deal and Virtue" and "Respect Heaven and Love People" were blown by the wind, and their hems fluttered.It seemed that there were crows screaming sharply in the air.In addition, the crisp and beautiful bird song is not audible now.

For a while, there were almost only three people standing in this open space: Takamori Saigo himself, Shinpachi Murata who was still wearing that western suit, and Liu Quan.

Even Toshiki Kirino knelt down—in fact, he was the one who took the lead in begging Saigo to surrender in order to preserve the fire and hope for the future.

However, Xixiang still seemed to maintain his calm very well.

The corners of his lips twitched, and for a moment there was an emotion that seemed to be smiling or crying; but that emotion did not make him lose his calm, dignity and reason. He looked around and walked slowly in front of everyone, just like that He sat cross-legged on the ground very casually, and said:

"I, thank you all."

After opening the scene in this very casual, family-like tone, he continued to use this tone to give everyone a final notice.

"However, please let me bury my bones here."

Toshiki Kirino was the first to react.He suddenly rolled forward and crawled two steps, and shouted angrily and painfully: "Sir!..."

Murata Shinpachi stood aside quietly without saying a word.Even after hearing the death declaration that Xixiang was buried here, his face was still as calm as death.That kind of calm covered his face like an iron mask, as if covering all his emotions.

Saigo Takamori didn't seem to need to look at anyone to seek the other's approval or support.He sat cross-legged, with his hands casually spread across his knees, his eyes drooping slightly, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he said: "In order for this country to have no more wars in the future, I must die."

There was a low sobbing sound from the crowd.Kirino Toshiaki seemed to have distorted his facial features.

Xixiang raised his eyes and slowly looked around everyone.A calm smile appeared on his face.

"If I die, the gentry will seek a new way to live... So, let my death bring new life to this country."

Kirino Toshiki seemed to be really saddened to the extreme.He blurted out: "Mr. Xixiang!..."

Murata Shinpachi spoke at this time.He also seemed to be emotionally agitated, but as if he was trying his best to endure that harmful weakness, he tried to show a smile and said, "And! How could Yoshinosuke-kun leave you and live alone!"

After hearing these words, Xixiang was silent for a moment, then grinned cheerfully.

"Exactly!" he exclaimed.Then he held up the telegram in his hand and tore it up mercilessly.

Liu Quan: "..."

The sun seemed to be moving slowly towards the western sky, and a light orange haze slowly spread in the sky.When Liu Quan saw Murata Shinpachi standing next to her, he suddenly lowered his head, and took out a tattered Western-style pocket watch from the pocket of his western-style vest.

Although the case of the pocket watch has been pitted, the color has almost faded, and the surface is muddy and soiled, but after opening the watch cover, the hour hand inside is still ticking.

Liu Quan's eyesight is very good.Moreover, Murata does not seem to deliberately cover the readings on the dial.

Five past three.

The long minute hand has undoubtedly passed the number "12" and tilted a little to the right.

The last time limit has passed.

The next important time is exactly four o'clock.

At four o'clock in the morning on September 9th.This is the time when the official army is expected to launch the final general offensive.

Liu Quan let out a long breath.Then, a surge of urges for unknown reasons sprang up, prompting her to call out the reading on the dial.

"It's five past three in the afternoon," she said quietly.

You have no chance to hesitate, hesitate or repent.

Now there is no other way to go but death.

Everyone at the scene fell into silence for a while.The atmosphere gradually became dignified, and gradually became sad and indignant.

Liu Quan: I always feel that their morale bar is rising...Maybe they will return to MAX tonight?

So she asked:

"...Do you still want to go to Jiatu River to catch eels?"

As soon as this stalk was thrown out, the effect was outstanding.

The atmosphere of grief and indignation was broken, and the rise of the morale bar seemed to be interrupted.Someone burst out laughing with tears in their eyes.

Kirino Toshiki glared at her.After being stunned for a moment, Murata Shinpachi also laughed, shook his head, and said before Kirino Toshiki roared at her, "How about having a bonfire party at the end? Let me play the violin!"

Hearing this proposal, everyone froze for a moment.

In the end, it was Xixiang who reacted first.He laughed and kicked up the soil with his feet, and covered the torn pieces of letter paper that had fallen by his feet, as if he wanted to bury his last vitality; then, he nodded vigorously, and said with a bold smile: " All right! Let's do it! Who's going to bring back some game?"

This sentence seemed to turn on everyone's switch, and there began to be a lot of shouts.

"Oh! I'll go! I set a trap in the jungle the day before yesterday!"

"I'm going to pick the fruit!"

"There should be something left in that mountain stream in the distance...Who will come with me to have a look?"

……

Finally, the bonfire party started lively.

In fact, Chengshan has been surrounded like an iron barrel at this time.What is the stalk of Qujiatuchuan catching eels, it will always be just a stalk that stays on the lips.

They can't even go down the mountain now.They couldn't go to the villages and towns down the mountain, they couldn't go to the seaside, and they couldn't go to the Jiatu River in their dreams.

In fact, Liuquan has had to live with a cleansing spell for more than a week.In the past few days, she didn't even have the chance to secretly find a pool or stream to take a fighting bath.

The cave where Satsuma's last remnant army was hiding smelled so good that the black air was almost substantive; Liu Quan had to call out the system bacteria more than ten days ago to let it temporarily block his sense of smell ——This is not a violation of history, and no one will see it, so the system bacteria are willing to give her a convenient way.

By now there is no need for any intelligence—the officers and soldiers have already set up a pre-attack stance, plus the clear ultimatum in the telegram that persuaded Liu Quan to surrender yesterday, everyone already knows and is waiting for it. With the fact that -

"Dawn Attack".

It was already past midnight, and the last few wild birds that came in were already roasted and eaten up. Even people with good teeth bit open the bones and sucked out the roasted marrow.But the bonfire was still burning, and no one seemed to care about exposing their whereabouts by doing so, and no one seemed to plan to have a good sleep.

After all, everyone probably thinks that soon after sunrise, we can fall into permanent sleep, so it's okay to sleep less now.

The mountains and forests before sunrise were extremely quiet.As the morning approached, there was a hint of coolness in the forest, the fresh smell of dew and the fragrance of grass and trees.An unknown insect chirped softly nearby.

In fact, everyone didn't dare to really light the bonfire at first, but in the end it was Saigo Takamori who broke the silence first.

After sunset, he sat quietly on the open space in front of the cave, seemingly thinking about it for a long time; finally, he stood up, walked around the spot a few times, and said decisively, "Right here, let's light a fire."

The others were shocked.

"Sir! How can...? It will be exposed...!"

Xixiang Longsheng looked around, and said slowly: "Are you still worried about what will be exposed? They know we are here, and we also know that they will attack at dawn..."

He smiled and said frankly: "Just here, light a fire, let's have one last happy gathering. Then, after dawn, we will fight them one last time!"

Now that he had said that, as soon as the words fell, the most loyal Saigo Fuki——Toshiki Kirino stood up immediately, and said loudly in a tone of trying to cheer up and cheer everyone up: "Oh! You are right, sir. ! Let’s do it!”

So the fire was quickly lit.

Unknown yams were simmering in the fire, and the flames made a light noise of peeling and shaking; someone took out a small flagon, which contained the last bit of wine.So the half jug of wine was poured into a stone basin full of clear water, stirred, and then poured into the tattered jugs in everyone's hands; Toshiki Kirino held a jug in his hand, showing a drunken look With a heroic look, he shouted:

"Drinking is really fun! It's so strange! I'm going to die tomorrow, but I'm still laughing so much!"

When everyone heard this, they all let out a burst of heroic laughter like ha ha ha.

Liu Quan: "..."

There is no moment like this one that allows people to deeply understand what is called "the last madness".she thinks.
