吃完饭，父子二人悲伤地离开了饭桌。不久，卡特便离幵了家乡和他挚爱的家人，穿上了北军的蓝色军服。 几周后，一个阳光明媚的下午，卡特•杜斯趴在一条小路旁，脸贴着尘土,但双臂仍然紧紧地抱着枪。卡特不会因为这次行动得到勋章。事实上，如果他的上司看到他，会命令他立即开枪。 因为卡特既没牺牲，也未负伤，而是在自己放哨时睡着了。幸运的是没人看到他，因为他隐藏在路边茂密的丛林中。 Both Carter Druse and his father left the table that morning with broken hearts. And Carter soon left his home, and everyone he loved to wear the blue uniform of the Union soldier. One sunny afternoon, a few weeks later, Carter Druse lay with his face in the dirt by the side of a road. He was on his stomach, his arms still holding his gun. Carter would not receive a medal for his actions. In fact, if his commanding officer were to see him, he would order Carter shot immediately. For Carter was not dead or wounded. He was sleeping while on duty. Fortunately, no one could see him. He was hidden by some bushes, growing by the side of the road. |
