[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

Scarlett felt her arms tremble.

Her arm was still raised—not that she had another enemy to shoot, but that she simply couldn't let it go.Her whole body was dead, and she was sitting stiffly on the horseback, the muzzle of the gun was still pointed at the place where Jonathan Wilkerson's head was laughing wildly just now-now it was just nothingness.Jonathan's body had already collapsed on the ground, bleeding gurglingly, but Scarlett was still immersed in the moment just now and couldn't extricate herself.

Maybe a second had passed, or maybe 1 years had passed. Finally, Scarlett could slowly move her gaze away to the blood on the ground—at last, she witnessed the death of her arch-enemy Jonathan Wilkerson with her own eyes.Scarlett slumped on the horse's back, only to feel cold sweat dripping down her back.

Just now, at that moment just now, she seemed to be inspired by a strong intuition in the dark, and without thinking, she raised her gun and shot, surprisingly calm but wrapped in anger, and killed the villain she had always hated.Scarlett thought, it seemed almost destined.For a long time, she had conceived the idea of ​​killing Jonathan Wilkerson, and she also felt that fate had arranged a fight between her and him that she could not lose.At that very moment, the Nemesis had used her hand to shoot that shot in the name of fate—the feud with Jonathan Wilkerson was finally over.The villain can no longer harm her and her family.

Suddenly, a stray bullet hit the ground nearby.The horse neighed in fright, and Scarlett jerked up, grabbing the reins tightly. — until this moment Scarlett heard Tommy's anxious voice. It turned out that he had been with her for a while.

"... How are you, Scarlett? Is it all right? Are you all right, do you need my help?"

She looked at him blankly.

No, no, Scarlett could hear the words now, but her brain simply couldn't process the information, and she was still at a loss as to what Tommy was talking about.Because, because all her mind was occupied by the direction she was looking at—the person she was looking at, the black-haired man who was full of anxiety and rode his horse towards her... Intense panic, desperate galloping, and without thinking With a single shot, the love that had been suppressed forcibly and never extinguished at all was reawakened in extreme worry... No, no, it doesn't matter whether you love it or not at this moment, and Scarlett can't think of those at all.She just knew—knowing almost instinctively that she needed—needed this man, at the moment when she had just shot her enemy, at the moment when the thrill of revenge and extreme weakness attacked at the same time, she needed him——Scarlett subconsciously moved her hand Reach out to Rhett Butler.

Her arms were tightly held, and the man's strength seemed boundless, making her feel safe in this chaos.Rhett lifted Scarlett up with the strength of his arm—the horses of the two were already very close at this time.After spinning around for a while, Scarlett found herself in Rhett's arms, and his lips were pressed down, looking for hers frantically and eagerly.

Kiss, the hottest, most instinctive kiss.Can't think of anything, can't think of anything, only instinct manipulates everything.Scarlett's hands gripped Rhett's clothes tightly, groping greedily at his arms and chest.And her lips, her lips, were looking for and catering to him, kissing him passionately and recklessly.Body fluid overflowing, lips and tongue intersecting, frantic and blurred as if it came from God's will.She felt possessed, physically and mentally, by another powerful emotion—she loved him, she wanted him, she kissed him passionately—and so, kissing him desperately—and at last Scarlett was almost Falling into Rhett's arms.

"Oh, Rhett." Scarlett leaned on Rhett's chest, murmured, and then closed her eyes.

Now, she can clearly recall everything just now.How she rode her horse in a desperate drive, and how panicked when she found that the two sides had exchanged fire.And when the triumphant figures of Jonathan Wilkerson and a group of traitors appeared from the other side of the road——Scarlett walked around the road and sneaked through the wilderness separated by bushes with trembling hands.She has to aim, she knows how heavy she is, rushing into the melee is just a drag, but at least she has to do something!Jonathan, and Hernans next to him are obviously the bosses this time. If they are killed, the Yankees will be in chaos for at least a while, and everyone will have a chance to escape!Calm down, Scarlett, calm down, you won't have too many chances, if you miss one blow, they will flee back if they are on guard, calm down, calm down... she said to herself over and over again.

She couldn't recall her hatred for Jonathan, because that would make her hands tremble even more.In the night, at a long distance, how could she believe that she could hit it?How did the aversion to killing leave her at that moment?However, when Jonathan Wilkerson recognized the identity of the messenger Rhett Butler and was about to proudly announce it, Scarlett raised her pistol without hesitation, coldly and decisively She suddenly shot the most exciting shot in her life... "Bang!" She trembled all over, straightened up in an instant and reminded: "Hernans——I still want to kill Hernans—"

"Mr. Wellburn has already killed him." Ritten comforted, "His marksmanship is very accurate, and Hernans is dead beyond death."

Scarlett listened blankly to what he said, and it took her a long time to understand what it meant.At this moment, she suddenly thought of Tommy—a burst of shame flooded into her brain, she actually kissed Rhett in front of Tommy like this!Although instinct dominated everything at that moment, and there was nothing but Rhett in Scarlett's world, but this was not... Scarlett pushed Rhett away angrily: "Put me down!"

Rhett quickly hugged her: "Don't make trouble, it's too chaotic here, you will be trampled to death by a horse."

When Scarlett was extremely ashamed and angry, she returned to her previous cold state. She pushed Ritter away and said, "Captain Butler, do you think I'm a fool? I know where I shot, it's from a distance. Get off the main road. And," she panted, her eyes swept across the battle zone, "how the hell did I meet you just now... Anyway, Jonathan and Hernans are dead, and they are in a mess now." And this is her The reason why Rhett and Rhett had kissed desperately just now but they were still good-the location was far away from the battle site, and the Yankees were leaderless and fell into a brief chaos.

Scarlett took a deep breath and said, "It's time to run." Without waiting for Rhett to answer, she jumped off her horse and walked to her own horse.Congratulations that good Tommy is gone, otherwise I don't know what to do - and feel a pang of embarrassing guilt at the same time.

Rhett chuckled behind her.

"Anyway," he said softly, "thank you, Scarlett, you did a great job. You saved me."

What he said was so warm and sincere that Scarlett couldn't help turning her head and smiling at him after getting on the horse.

"Let's go," she said.

------------

After the deaths of Jonathan and Hernans, the Yankees fell into a real chaos-and the Ku Klux Klan took advantage of this opportunity to kill many of them.However, if the fighting in the suburbs continued for too long, it would definitely attract more Yankees. After taking advantage of the chaos and biting a piece of meat from the Yankees, everyone in the Ku Klux Klan—even Stan who appeared in front of people at this time Jiali, escaped cleverly together.

The Yankees were still in the chaos of collecting corpses, and the Ku Klux Klan ran for miles together to get their senses together, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone looked at each other and laughed, saying they had killed enough tonight.Scarlett rode frantically through the crowd—she remembered now that Ashley was hurt in the side, Grandpa Merriwether had a broken leg, and Tommy's arm—her eyes He met Tommy's blue eyes and immediately looked away guiltily.Although the two of them have not actually confirmed their relationship, they also had a faint intention of dating before, and doing so would really hurt Tommy.However, after confirming the number of people again and again, Scarlett couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. She patted her heart and thanked God from the bottom of her heart——

There are still many people dying, but this time, everyone is alive, and that is enough!

Perhaps this is the reward given by fate to the courageous to a certain extent——Scarlett chased up and shot Jonathan Wilkerson dead, fully understanding the enmity between herself and him.Therefore, Rhett Butler's identity was not discovered by the Yankees, and the leaderless Yankees also made everyone escape smoothly, and none of them died-this was really the best reward she could think of!

Scarlett didn't see Frank Kennedy in the crowd, but she inquired about it and found out that Su Allen took him very seriously--Scarlett curled her lips, but she was still happy.She was riding a horse, wearing a nocturnal black cloak, surrounded by Klan heroes, scrambling to greet her, and everyone rushed to pay their respects to the girl's family.

"You came with courage, killed the person who insulted you, and rescued us all at the same time!" Hugh said.

"Please rest assured, dear Miss O'Hara. Even if we are arrested, we will definitely take credit for killing Jonathan, so that you will not be harmed at all." This is Mr. Whiting.

"Nice job, Scarlett!" It was Uncle Peter.

In short, people gathered around Scarlett in amazement and strangeness, paying their respects.Of course, there were also other people who went to express their gratitude to Rhett-the captain just smiled and looked at the green-eyed girl in the crowd with warm eyes.

She's really, really, really good.

"Okay," Rhett said lazily when people's enthusiasm subsided, "we still have to make plans... Although the wave just now was broken up, I'm sure there are Yankee guards at the door of every house." , waiting to capture the Ku Klux Klan who fled back."

Suddenly, the crowd fell into a discussion.But they were not surprised by this result, the atmosphere was almost solemn.The result of their discussion is: run away and run away!A man is indomitable, but never hurt Miss O'Hara!

Scarlett was both touched and offended.Now, she could really feel the feelings of these men fighting for her, for women all over the South-she gouged out Rhett.

The man coughed.

"Everyone," Rhett said, and everyone was happy to listen to him after his heroic performance just now, "I have an idea..." A malicious smile rose from his mouth, "If you are willing to sacrifice a little For a while, maybe I can keep everyone from running away. But we have to hurry, the Yankees will catch up sooner or later..."

"What is it? Tell me quickly! Who wants to leave their hometown if possible."

"Yes, tell me quickly."

Everyone urged with confidence.

The corner of Rhett's mouth curled up, pretending to be mysterious (Scarlett wanted to vomit):

"I have a well-known friend, and her name is—Bell Watling."

The author has something to say: I think I'm too good for Tommy→_→But... I think character development is just like that.After Scarlett kills, Tommy and Rhett will definitely come to comfort her, and as Rhett mentioned earlier, the distance is so far that he can't even shoot Jonathan, so Tommy is the first to arrive.Then Scarlett was in a trance and couldn't hear what he said... Rhett was driven by her instinct at this time.So it's not scum, it's not scum, at least it's not deliberately scum, Scarlett really needed Rhett at that time.

But the captain... tsk tsk, emotional agitation is inevitable at that time, but can you really lose your mind to that point?The captain is listless.

In short, I think this reconciliation is simply the general trend. If you want to continue to abuse the captain for a few chapters, there is no way, TAT.In short, that’s it. The last few chapters have been repeated one after another. I feel that everyone is as excited as I am... We will soon usher in the sweet era (sorry, it’s the captain’s and Scarlett’s sweetness, smile)

But they haven't reconciled yet, let's wait and see.
