Things in the world are really unpredictable. A few days ago, she was fighting with the soldiers wearing this combat uniform. Today, she was wearing their clothes, no different from the American soldiers, and she was walking with their colonel on the streets of the central area.
inside.
Although there was a war here two days ago, the Serbs have always been a people who live without looking at God's face. Walking in the snow, Gu Chen saw that the cars parked on the road were all hung with branches and leaves.
The Serbian nation has used oak branches to represent good luck for hundreds of years. Even under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire, this tradition was still passed down from generation to generation.
The Yugoslavs who suffered heavy losses in the war put aside the fear of the war and began to decorate for Christmas. Pedestrians rushing past under the snowflakes were holding oak branches and leaves ready to take home. In the countryside, oak branches and leaves must be displayed at home15
In rural areas, on the 15th midnight, these oak branches and leaves are taken to the yard and lit, and everyone dances around the fire to send away plague and disease, and to seek health and happiness for family and friends.
This year, even people in the city have begun to follow suit. Everyone hopes to bid farewell to disasters and usher in happiness and good health.
A girl was holding several oak branches and leaves in her hand, but they fell down after just a few steps. Despite this, the girl still tried hard to pick them up.
According to Serbian tradition, oak branches and wheat ears must be prepared at home on Christmas Eve to indicate good weather and abundant harvests in the coming year.
"Do you need an oak branch?" When passing by, the girl hugging the oak branch said crisply. The snow fell even harder. The little girl wearing a red plush hat stood in the sky full of snowflakes.
Here, he looked at Gu Chen with the purest eyes in the world.
"Do you need an oak branch? I took too much and I can't get them all back. If you need it, I can give you one." The little girl is not afraid of the soldiers in combat uniforms. Her innocent face is clean and innocent.
With an evil expression, there is no shadow left by war in her world.
Burton Lime bent down, took off his gloves and raised his hand to touch the girl's head gently. His handsome expression was incredibly soft, "Well, I need two."
"Two?" The girl hesitated.
"Then let's make a deal, and I'll buy two from you." Facing children, the colonel, who can command the army to open artillery fire on the battlefield, but has blood on his hands, is very patient and caring.
In the end, the transaction was naturally successful. Burton Lem, who bought two oak branches and leaves for ten dollars, looked at the branches and leaves in his hand, handed them to Gu Chen and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the first time I gave something to a girl, it wasn't flowers.
It’s actually branches and leaves.”
"However, the oak branches and leaves here represent happiness and peace." He put the branches and leaves into Gu Chen's hand, then tightly wrapped her hand, letting the two of them hold the same branch and leaves, "It's not a rose, but
I hope you can accept my blessings of peace."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "If you really want roses, I will definitely not accept them. I will definitely accept the oak branches and leaves that represent blessings of peace. Moreover, I also believe that you will definitely not give me roses."
Both of them knew what the roses represented. When the young colonel heard this, his eyes were filled with deep laughter.
Less than half an hour after walking out of the camp, the snow was so heavy that it covered the ground with a white layer. A voice calling "Sir" in Serbian came from behind, and I saw a Serbian man in a black coat running towards me.
