Rhett loves adventure, challenges, excitement, and a life of passion.

Rhett, you are such a fool sometimes.Don't you understand that a person can't take risks all his life, and he can't struggle all his life.After experiencing the storm, when all the scenery is seen through, what a tired person really needs is a long stream of water.

Scott suddenly missed Ashley, and Ashley Wilkes, who refused to face the facts but was still willing to dedicate his life to the war.He also agrees with Scott and Ritter that the war will end tragically and tragically.

Compared with the simple Charles who wanted to be a hero, believed in the justice of war, and aspired to be a fighting hero, it undoubtedly required greater courage to fight for the wrong thing.

But he didn't think at that time that he and Rhett, two people who are known for their reason, would also have hot-headed and desperate moments.

Yes, logic, reason and common sense are not all in this world, we also need emotions.

Under Scott's protection and guard, Rhett's reputation has not been damaged beyond repair.At least half of the noble families in Atlanta's upper-class circles were reluctant to receive him, but whether Rhett himself would like to visit these dead patriots is unknown.

Rhett knew that in Paris, it was no longer fashionable to show panties under women's skirts, and he would even quietly tell some girls who dared to flirt with him, such a slightly shocking topic as what kind of panties Parisian women wear.If Rhett hadn't been so masculine, listening to him describe women's gowns, sun hats, hair styles, etc. in such detail, you would think he was a bit effeminate.Rhett could tell the trimmings of skirts and gowns from memory, and he could remember the details that women pay special attention to. He patiently told women that hats should be smaller this year, and they should be worn higher on the head. The brim of the hat covers most of the top of the head. Describe in detail the types and colors of feathers that are popular on hats, the shockingly low collars of evening dresses, and so on.If the same words came out of Scott's thin and delicate mouth, it would be quite out of character.

By this time Southern anger against the speculators was roaring.At that time, the port of Charleston had been completely blocked by the northern warships, and Wilmington became the main port for the first entry of ships that sneaked across the blockade, and what the merchants did there had reached the point of being blatant and sensational.A large number of speculators gathered in Wilmington, and they all prepared enough cash to buy the entire cargo as soon as a cargo ship entered the port, and then hoarded it to wait for a good price increase.

The fate of the Confederacy today rested not only on the fighters ahead, but also heavily on the skill of smuggling blockade ships to evade Northern warships.Although Scott had a lot of contacts with the North secretly, he carefully maintained his reputation in the upper class of the South.He is cautious, although it is inevitable to speculate and rumors that he has a close relationship with the Yankees, but Scott never lets people catch evidence, and even if there are various rumors, the most conservative and reserved people in southern society are out of patriotism. Be kind to him.Scott became the pride of the O'Hara family, and his name is always associated with "reckless", "brave", and "legendary".In fact, only Scott himself understood that he took great risks to smuggle the blockade, not because of bravery, but because of fear.

Yes, he was afraid.He was afraid that his family and slaves would starve during the war, he was afraid of the overwork of his parents who worked hard for the Confederate army, he was afraid that his home would be destroyed after the war, he was afraid... so Scott worked desperately like a neurotic and obsessive-compulsive disorder .

It was only later that Scott realized that Rhett was also afraid. At the age of 20, he was kicked out by his father. He was unaccompanied and homeless.No matter how brave and fierce Rhett is, he will be afraid in a dangerous world without safety guarantees.Rhett was unsteady, so he kept taking and taking. He became more and more greedy, took more and more, and became more and more unscrupulous... Yes, he was also afraid.He was afraid of going back to the days when he had nothing, he was afraid of not being able to protect himself and the one he loved, and he was afraid of being manipulated by the powerful, so he kept taking it, the more he took, the safer and more secure he was.

Yes, there is a scared child in everyone, a child who is anxious, a child who longs for a warm embrace and strong arms, and a child who is stubbornly seeking love.But everyone also has strong arms, a straight spine, and a steady stream of love to give.It will be tiring for a person to play the same role for a long time, so relatives, friends and couples should share weal and woe and support each other.

Rhett, Scott knew, was sometimes no different than the friends he had grown up with in the county--like all the southern boys who were sweet and smooth-talking, like the Tarleton twins, mischievous, like the Fontaines. As tongue-in-cheek, as full of ideas as the Calvert brothers.After all, everyone is multifaceted, and everyone has a different personality in their hearts. If a person is always the same, it will be boring and abnormal.

Christmas is approaching, and the boys in Georgia finally caught up with their rare turn to go home for the holiday.Four days before Christmas, Scott received a telegram from them that the young men from the county were about to arrive.Scott had been away from them for more than two years, and when he was waiting for the young soldiers in the county to get off the train, he felt a little closer to his hometown and more timid.

Ashley was the first thing Scott saw on the bustling station.Major Ashley Wilkes was wearing a faded patched uniform, his blond hair was also faded by the hot summer sun, and his two cavalry-style mustaches hung down on both sides of his mouth. Confident and majestic, with a full military look.

When Ashley saw Scott, he blinked and hugged him.He rubbed his mustache so that Scott was itchy and wanted to sneeze, and suddenly he was taken aback by the exclamation behind him: "God, it's really you, Scott O'Hara! You bad guy , we haven't seen each other for two years!"

Ashley still hugged Scott tightly, and he had no choice but to raise his head desperately to look back—he saw Charles Hamilton who had also been away for two years.

Charles was wearing a military uniform. Although his uniform was shabby, it was much cleaner and tidier than most people.The pistol was in a mended holster, and the mottled scabbard thumped against the boots.Although the spurs have been blunt, but there is no lack of clank light.His straight shoulders and bright eyes showed a completely strange and novel quality. The big brown eyes were used to seeing blood, but they still held the same innocence.

The two-year military career awakened the military blood deep in Charles's blood, and the military temperament inherited from his father was fully inspired by the war.Scott had long heard the legend of Charles, knew that he obeyed orders, knew that he was desperate, and knew that although he would feel sick at the sight of blood like Melanie, he still made great achievements.
