Chapter 292 San Gavroche probably should have accepted Enjolras' carbine

Father-in-law Mabeuf was covered with the long black shawl of the widow Hucheroup.Six men formed a stretcher with their rifles, placed the body on it, took off their hats, and carried it slowly and solemnly into the hall of the hotel, where it lay on a large table. These were so engrossed in this solemn and sacred business that they forgot the danger in which they were standing. As the body passed Javert, Enjolras said to the usually deadly spy: "You! It will be soon." Gavroche, who was the only one who had not left his post and remained on the watch, thought he saw some men stalking towards the barricade.He suddenly shouted:

"Attention everyone!" Courfeyrac, Enjolras, Jean Prouvel, Combeferre, Joly, Bahoret, Bossuet, all rushed out of the hotel.It was almost too late.They saw a dense row of shining spears dangling on the top of the barricade.A group of tall security policemen, some jumping over the stagecoach, some through the gap, were rushing in, and rushed at the wild boy, who only backed away, but did not run away. It was an extremely urgent moment.Just like a sudden flood, the water has risen to the bank of the river and began to seep through the gaps and crevices, the first terrifying sight.In a second the barricade would be taken.

Bahore picked up his carbine and charged at the first security policeman who got in. He shot him head-on and finished him off, while the second bayonet killed him.The other had knocked Courfeyrac to the ground, and Courfeyrac was shouting: "Help me!" The tallest and most burly man was pressing on Gavroche with his bayonet pointed.The Wild Boy picked up Javert's huge rifle with two small arms, put it firmly on his shoulder, and aimed at the giant to shoot.The gun did not go off, and Javert had not loaded his rifle.The security policeman laughed loudly, raised his gun and stabbed at the child.

Before the bayonet touched Gavroche, the rifle fell from the soldier's hand: a bullet hit him between the eyebrows, and he fell on his back.The second bullet hit the heart of the security policeman who was advancing on Courfeyrac, and threw him down on the stones. This is because Marius entered the barricade.
