[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

Seeing that Rhett seemed to be planning to use the name of "Best Friends Reunion" to take advantage endlessly, Scarlett gave him a hard look—this scoundrel who would not change his nature even after being in prison!Then he couldn't help laughing again under the gaze of Rhett's black eyes with a deepening smile.

That's enough!Scarlett thought, but couldn't take her eyes off that face.Joy filled her heart so much that she couldn't even keep a straight face.All the agitation in her heart finally turned into a soft sentence: "You are back."

It's great that you're back safely and I'm still here.

"Yes, I'm back." Rhett smiled and winked at her.At this moment, Scarlett realized that there were Yankees beside her, and she couldn't help but blush.

"Henry, you're such an idiot!" Seeing that they finally stopped, the fat officer coughed a few times uncomfortably, and then said to the young officer, "He should stay in the fire station. It's not wrong for you to be ordered by your superiors." Know!"

The young officer exclaimed, "Oh, sir, for God's sake! It's so cold that asking the lady to go to that darn place will freeze her to death!"

"Okay, okay, it's your bad luck for stabbing the basket!"

"I promise, gentlemen," Rhett turned to the Yankee officers at this moment, still clutching Scarlett's hand tightly, "my good friend didn't bring a saw and file to help me escape—oh, What is this?" He suddenly made a new discovery, it was the basket that he hadn't noticed in the excitement just now.Rhett rushed over and lifted the top layer of cloth at once, "Biscuits and milk?" He laughed loudly, and turned to the officer again, "Gentlemen, you don't think this will help me escape from prison, do you?"

Everyone roared with laughter, and Scarlett really felt flushed with shame, talking to Rhett in front of so many Yankees?She shook him still holding her hand, motioning him to think of a way.Indeed Rhett brazenly begged the kind officer who led him the way: "Could you find us a booth to talk? My good-friend seems a little shy."

Scarlett twisted his hand angrily, and found that the officers smiled understandingly.The kind young man stood up, pushed open a door, explained a few words to the two soldiers inside, and they walked into the hall with their guns in hand.

"If you want, you can talk in this duty room." The young officer said, "The guards will stand outside the door."

"Look at how dangerous and disturbing I am, Scarlett," Rhett said triumphantly to her in a tone that was both complaining and showing off, and then turned to the young officer, "Thank you, Captain, you are very kind." All right."

He bowed casually to the young man, and then dragged Scarlett, who was nodding to thank him, into the narrow duty room.He grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and put the other on her back, almost as eager to push her in.The duty room had no light, was dark and cold.The walls are tattered, with some handwritten notes tacked on with thumbtacks, and there is still a lot of cow hair on the leather-covered chairs.

Scarlett put the basket she was carrying on the chair, and rubbed her hands together as if to relieve her inner emotions. She watched Rhett close the door and walked towards her quickly.He bent down and made a look of wanting to kiss her, but Scarlett turned her head and avoided it, but there were smiles in the corners of her eyes.

"No one is watching, can't I give you a good kiss?" Rhett begged with a smile.

"Kiss me?" Scarlett smiled half a smile, her reserved posture couldn't hide her tender eyes, "I thought, we still have some accounts to settle?"

"Tell those damn accounts to go first!" He smiled and held her shoulder again, his low voice had a taste of rascal, "I miss you, Scarlett."

He bowed his head to her again.This time, Scarlett did not avoid Rhett's lips.They shared a long kiss.

After a while, Scarlett, who was already a little out of breath, pushed away the man who was still making progress, and stared at him fiercely with green eyes: "Rhett Butler!"

Because of the speaker's unstable mood, this reprimand has a different kind of charm, more like a complaint between lovers than a protest.Scarlett bit her lower lip angrily, and Rhett let out a low laugh.She glared at him again, only to stop when Rhett smiled and raised his hands in surrender.

"I miss you so much," he said softly, and then changed his tone to light and cheerful, "Scarlett, it's very kind of you to visit me! I haven't had any decent friends to visit me since I was in prison—when Came to Atlanta?"

"I just arrived this morning." The ambiguous atmosphere before dissipated, and Scarlett was also brought into a more natural tone by Rhett's tone, "and—" her green eyes rolled, "I have no friends." ? I heard people say that you are very popular!" At the end of the sentence, there was a slight hum, which was full of sourness.

"Jealous?" he asked boldly, with a smile on his lips. "Don't be angry, Scarlett. I think you have to thank Belle and her girls—without their help we can't talk right now." Woolen cloth."

"You mean—" Scarlett was not stupid, she had the experience that Rhett sent someone to avoid causing trouble to Tara before, so she could easily figure out what Rhett meant now.

The Yankee was determined to find out where Rhett's money was hidden, and he would certainly pay attention to what key information he told the visitor, or let the visitor help pass the message.So there's a good chance they'll monitor conversations and even log visitors.But the group of prostitutes told Rhett all kinds of unnutritious nonsense before, which made the Yankees completely lose their vigilance about it, which allowed them to have a private environment now.

"Smart girl." Rhett smiled, showing his white teeth.Of course, only part of the gang of girls is actually Belle who understands his hints and brings them here to help—you don't need to tell Scarlett.He said with a smile: "Also, Scarlett, you said you only entered the city in the morning, but you came to see me in such a hurry in the afternoon, and you brought me these cute little gifts—" He picked up a small biscuit As he chewed, his eyes were full of undisguised joy, "Honey, you are so kind, kind, and considerate."

Scarlett looked at him angrily and amusedly, kind and considerate ghost!She just missed him so—so much that she was acting a little out of sorts.Looking at Rhett's miserable outfit (God bless, he's still alive and well!), she can't help but suspect that the man's imprisonment is really intended to "enjoy" the full experience.

"Is your life here okay?" She looked him up and down with critical eyes, and seeing Rhett immediately grabbed the biscuit and made a bleak gesture of gobbling it up to win sympathy, she couldn't help but sneered, "There is no one Is the character willing to take care of you?" He told her about the theoretical life of the money offensive.

"It's not good." Rhett swallowed a mouthful of milk, and finally heard the vague words clearly.He continued to pretend to be pitiful and tried to arouse Scarlett's love, but he couldn't hide the sincere happiness on his face, "I didn't sleep warmly, and the food was dry and tasteless, and the most important thing was—" he himself was critical After smelling the scent on her body, she shook her head and smiled at her, "Oh, I think Miss Pitt must have told you a joke." She didn't feel ashamed about her stink on her hands, and stretched out again. He stretched out his arms to hug her.Scarlett avoided laughing.

"You stink." She laughed immediately after she finished speaking, and she couldn't stop laughing at all.Rhett jumped over nimbly, grabbed her arms, then lowered his head and kissed her eyes and the tip of her nose tenderly. Scarlett's smile stopped slowly.

"Don't make trouble," she complained, pushing him away again.But Rhett held her shoulders tightly.

"Okay, Rhett—" Scarlett looked up with a smile, and found that Rhett was looking at her very intently without blinking, without a trace of the usual sarcasm on his face, she couldn't help flustered, lowered her eyelids, and avoided that Gougou's eyes came.

"It's worth going to jail to see you again and listen to your words." He said softly, "I can't believe my ears when people say your name. You know, since my comrade-in-arms wrote to me after he got home, I've seen you before, but when I haven't received your letter, I guess you must be angry with me, Scarlett. I'm still waiting for them to let me out and see you as soon as possible."

"Shouldn't you be mad at you?" The warm breath was blowing in her ears, and Scarlett was made limp by his tone, and she forced herself to ask, "You clearly promised me——you didn't give me that during the war." Write a letter, and I haven’t written a letter after the war, except for that message. Ah!” She recalled the emotions accumulated in her heart before, and her tone suddenly became fierce, “Damn Butler! Your good comrades-in-arms all Tell me—you actually lied to someone..."

"Did he say that you are my sweetheart? But you are indeed." Rhett smiled slightly and noticed that Scarlett's face was blushing.

"Not this!" Scarlett said angrily, finding her voice with great difficulty.Damn Rhett, insist on interrupting the rhythm of her questioning - sweetheart?A sweetheart who doesn't intend to propose marriage?Obviously an asshole. "I mean you—you—you promised me to take care of yourself!" she exclaimed angrily. "You've done so many dangerous things. Hiding in the snow all the way to the Yankee machine guns. Below? Leading a dozen people to make the Yankees think that the large army has not retreated? When the Yankees counterattacked, they dragged their comrades and did not let go? Rhett Butler, you are really good, you are really good!"

"Oh, come on, stop bragging about my war hero story..." Rhett smiled and waved his hands.

"Who is blowing you! I mean—you promised me to take care of yourself, but you still have to go up to the danger!"

"Then you are worried about me?" There was a shameless smile on Hei's face, Scarlett really wanted to step on him, and she did.

"Oh——" Rhett screamed deliberately, "Don't be like this, Scarlett, don't be so angry because someone tells you what's on your mind... Aw——well, I won't say it, I won't say it."

Scarlett snorted.
