[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

it's dark.

Night always comes so fast in the high latitudes.

The Winter Soldier flew the helicopter for more than an hour before finding a remote wilderness and landing.

When Hydra's lieutenant contacted him to ask for a mission report, he prevaricated on the grounds that the original mission destination was blown up by the opponent, the mission target was taken away, and he was chasing him, but this reason is unlikely to work for long. So he had to settle the kid down before being discovered by Hydra.

The movement of the helicopter when it landed startled a large group of crows, and the crows flew away.

This time he didn't need to do anything, the little girl saw him get up, immediately unfastened the seat belt on her body, jumped off the seat, trotted to his side in a few steps, looked up at him eagerly.

The Winter Soldier looked at the eye-catching and beautiful long silver curly hair and outstanding appearance of this little girl, as well as the pink and white princess dress full of lace embroidery on her body, thought for a while, and found a winter jacket from the helicopter. Coat and hat.

The cold-proof coat and the cotton hat are both in a dull color, without military emblems, and there are even no details that can tell the identity of the owner of the clothes-the user of this helicopter is like a ghost, almost unknown to everyone. When he was the head snake agent, this was obviously considered for the purpose of concealing his identity.

Clothes meant for a grown man were simply too big for a child who was only ten years old (or maybe not? The Winter Soldier wasn't sure about the kid's age).

The Winter Soldier stuffed her beautiful long silver curly hair into a cotton hat, and then put the cotton hat that was still more than a circle larger than her head on her head, and the little girl's face was immediately covered Mostly.

The little girl was completely unprepared, and saw the big hat being buttoned down, and her eyes were suddenly dark.

little girl:? ? ?

Even though most of her face was covered by the hat, it still didn't prevent her from expressing her emotions full of question marks.

The Winter Soldier smiled inwardly, then wrapped the little girl up with the overcoat in his hand, and hugged her up.

Now, no matter how good the eyes are, people don't want to see what the person in the padded coat he is holding looks like, even if it is a boy or a girl.

As soon as the cabin door was opened, a bone-piercing chill hit the face, and the little girl who was still trying to look out was blown by the cold wind, and immediately shrank back.

As soon as she moved, the hat on her head fell forward, immediately covering her face firmly.

Little girl: "..." My face!I can't breathe!

The Winter Soldier conveniently held down the cotton hat that also had the function of hiding the hair and covering the face on the child, hugged the little girl wrapped tightly in the coat, and walked into the long wind and snow.

The hotel in a remote town has no internet connection, and it is not strict to check the documents when checking in. The bearded man at the front desk took a sip of vodka and glanced at the coat that was held in his arms by this man.

"Daughter?" He asked, and before he could answer, he nodded his head to show his affirmation. If it was a boy, he wouldn't carry her around like this, and wouldn't let her go when he got into the house.

When he took the guest to the guest room, turned around and closed the door to leave, he heard a little girl in English asking in crisp English: "Where have we been? "

Her accent is a bit strange, it doesn't sound like a local, but it's normal, after all, he grew up here and has never seen that man, and these two people are obviously from other places.

I just don't know how they got here so late and it was still snowing.

In addition...

It really is a girl.

He applauds his wit and rewards himself with a swig of vodka.

The stove was raised in the room, and the temperature rose. It would be a bit hot to wrap such thick clothes at this time.

The little girl struggled to free herself from the coat. Under the dim light above her head, her long silver curly hair was still as bright as the moonlight in the dark night.

The Winter Soldier went to get the hot water, dipped the towel into the hot water, picked it up and wrung it dry, and then stuck it on the face of the little girl who was curious about what he was doing.

There was a muffled sound behind the towel.

The little girl reached out to catch the towel that was about to fall off her face, looked at the Winter Soldier pitifully, and then consciously wiped her face with a hot towel.

After everything was settled, the Winter Soldier handed the extra hot milk that the innkeeper kindly provided to the little girl sitting on the edge of the bed. She was not tall, and she just sat on the edge of the bed, her toes didn't even touch the floor.

"How much do you remember?" Asked the Winter Soldier, who more or less guessed from the behavior patterns along the way that the little girl didn't remember many things.

The little girl shook her head quickly.

After a pause, she said, "I don't remember anything... I, I can't even remember my own name..."

She hung her head a little dejectedly.

Well, like him... but he somehow remembered something.

"What about you?" The frustration came and went quickly, and the little girl quickly regained her composure and asked curiously, "I heard they call you Winter Soldier, but this sounds like a nickname, not a name."

She spoke again the kind of language that he obviously couldn't understand but knew the meaning.

The Winter Soldier has noticed now that this little girl can't speak English, but her intelligence level is definitely not low, and her learning ability is rare and strong. At least he has never seen someone who can speak basic sentences just by listening to others. type of person.

"...I don't know." The Winter Soldier was silent for a while, then said, "Go to sleep after drinking the milk."

After speaking, he got up and walked to the side table, took out a small box from his pocket, and opened it, revealing the various gadgets inside.

The Winter Soldier took out a small screwdriver from inside and began to overhaul his iron arm.

The little girl followed his figure all the time, watching him open the metal armor outside the iron arm, revealing the precise wiring and various connecting shafts inside. It took a while to look away and took a sip of the warm milk in his hand.

Her blue-purple eyes flickered, and she looked up at the Winter Soldier again. Then she drank the rest of the milk, washed the glass again, brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth—she suddenly remembered that she had to brush after drinking before going to bed. Don't sleep until you finish your teeth.

After all this was done, she climbed into bed and tucked herself in. The Winter Soldier reached over to cover the last piece of armor, and then turned off the lamp.

The room suddenly darkened.

In the darkness, the Winter Soldier suddenly heard the little girl's voice: "Can I follow you?"

The Winter Soldier didn't answer, just sat quietly at the table.

The sound of breathing in her ears gradually became steady and shallow, and she fell asleep.

The night is already deep.

The Winter Soldier made sure the kid was asleep, got up, picked up his weapon, and left the inn.

The snow fell harder and harder, and the wilderness at night was so silent that nothing could be heard except the sound of the wind. The Winter Soldier returned to the helicopter following the impression of this journey.

Starting the engine, the Winter Soldier glanced at the empty passenger seat and pulled the lever.

Amidst the roar, the helicopter spun and flew up.

A tiny dose of sleeping pills in milk would keep her asleep until well into the middle of the day, before he could be back.
