Chapter 48: Platoon Commander
A nearby Platoon Commander saw this and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? You couldn't be thinking of stealing the Colonel's saber, could you?"
The others followed suit and laughed. Stealing was impossible, with so many people watching.
The young Squad Leader turned his head and smiled at them, "It's nothing."
The others didn't bother much, only feeling that this kid might have been frozen silly.
Later when the Colonel comes out and sees his saber missing, aren't you just asking for trouble.
The young Squad Leader didn't explain, standing there tightly hugging his chest.
The iron scabbard was frighteningly cold. Gusts of cold wind blew over, freezing his lips blue.
But he remained indifferent, only the hand gripping his collar tightened a bit more.
After a long time, the discussion inside the camp tent finally ended.
