Chapter 11 (1/2)

The strange actions of the two froze Donford Wu. After his mind came back to him, he immediately turned around and walked towards the west to pick up arrows off the ground. Taking out the bone arrow from a corpse’s throat, he didn’t look back even once. Even though he didn’t know why they covered their faces, but he could guess that it had something to do with their culture. There was one rule regarding secrets in the troops, don’t look at secrets you aren’t supposed to look at, if you do, then pretend you didn’t see it.

After the mask and cloth came falling down, there was three to five seconds before they both covered their faces. There was moon hanging overhead tonight, and Donford Wu wasn’t blind. He now knew how they looked like. The lady shaman had a sharp oval face, the nosebleed running down her face didn’t ruin her clear complexion. She should be a few years older than him, about twenty six or seven years old. The age of the black clothed woman wasn’t old, her age might not even reach twenty. She had a big eyes and a round face and some looks to go with it. They both had one thing in common, they both had pure white skin. But Donford Wu didn’t know if it was because they covered their faces for so long, or something else.

Only when he out the arrow from the corpse’s throat did Donford Wu discover the arrow was the one made out of bones. In these couple of days, he only grinded out a single one. The other two arrows were normal bamboo ones. Donford Wu started to think the reason why the arrows didn’t hit was because of the material they were made of.

Looking carefully at the bone arrow, Walda Ming ran over with her children.

“Why’d you come?”

“I came to…..take a look.”

Donford Wu originally wanted to say he came to save her and her children, but he changed his mind in the middle of it.

“Good thing you came.”

Walda Ming still wasn’t over the ordeal.

Donford Wu laughed and ruffled the two children’s hair. Bit far away, the chatter of women started coming out. Without even having to ask, the lady shaman must have gotten hold of the black clothed woman with the help of the ladies.

“Did you see the lady shaman’s face?”

Walda Ming asked in a low voice.

“Nope, what about it?”

Donford Wu picked up the black broadsword that was broken in half. The broadsword had some weight to it, it should be made out of metal.

“Good thing you didn’t see it, if not, she would’ve killed you.”

Walda Ming stated.

“Walda, go get the sheep tendons.”

A shout came from a woman behind them, even though they all had the same surname, but they don’t call people out with their last name, only their first name, and most of their first names only had a single word, so it sounded a bit bad when it was called out. (Most Chinese names in modern times are made with three characters, but Walda Ming’s only has two.)

Hearing the shout, Walda Ming walked away with her children. Donford Wu kneeled down to the dead black clothed man to search his body. His search ended up in a disappointment, taking off the corpse’s clothes, the corpse didn’t have anything on its body.

“What are you doing?”

The lady shaman said in a cold voice behind him.

“I can wear his clothes.”

Donford Wu continued his search.

“Don’t take things from the dead.”

The lady shaman’s voice started to have an unwelcoming tone to it.

“I killed this person.”

Donford Wu didn’t have the patience to say anymore, if not for his help, the lady shaman wouldn’t be able to defeat all three opponents. Not only did she not say thanks, but she was extremely unwelcoming.

Facing this answer, she took in a large breath. But at last, she warmed her tone a bit.

“Fine, you decide.”

Donford Wu took off the corpse’s clothes, not even leaving the pants. After the underwear was taken off, he took off the corpse’s black cloth covering the face. When the black cloth was off, the face of a young man was exposed. His age was also not high, around twenty years old.

“Why doesn’t he have a tattoo?”

Donford Wu turned his head and asked the lady shaman that was getting ready to walk away. At this moment, the lady shaman already placed on another mask.

“The Earth clan doesn’t have any tattoos.”

The lady shaman didn’t turn back, she walked straight towards her house.

Donford Wu furrowed his brows. The lady shaman clearly was hiding words in between words, meaning that he also didn’t have any tattoos, and that he was suspected to be part of the Earth clan.

Even though he wasn’t happy, but since she didn’t say anything directly, he couldn’t say anything back. Taking the clothes and the other two unbroken black broadswords into his arms, he walked towards the shaman’s house. The place had so little things, he couldn’t waste them.

At this time, the black clothed woman was already tied up to a wooden post in front of the house, the women of the village were beating her, even kicking。

The black clothed woman gritted her teeth and bared with it, not making a sound.

Donford Wu seeing that she was so stubborn, he felt like he couldn’t take it anymore. Yelling at the crowd with a large voice.

“If you beat her to death, then she can’t say anything.”

After hearing Donford Wu’s shout, the crowd of women that were beating the black clothed woman started to stop one at a time, turning their heads to look at him. After looking at him, they turned towards the lady shaman. Seeing that the lady shaman didn’t have any motives to stop them, they once again started scratching and beating the black clothed woman, scratching her face and pulling her hair, they ripped open her clothes and took her ** (This was in the raw)

Seeing this, Donford Wu was absolutely furious, he quickly stepped forward to block the crowd.

“Stop.”

Hearing this, the crowd stared at him. The lady shaman at one side said to him in a cold voice.

“It isn’t your place to speak.”

“If you want to kill her then don’t hit her, if you want to hit her then you can’t kill her.”

Donford Wu raised his voice. This woman was a partner in crime. He wouldn’t give a s.h.i.+t even if they killed her. But he couldn’t accept that she had no way to fight back but the crowd still beating and humiliating her, torturing captives violated the Geneva Conventions.

The lady shaman opened a path in the crowd and arrived in front of him. Sneering, she looked at Donford Wu.

“You know her?”

“No.”

Donofrd Wu said without hesitation.

“Then why are you protecting her?”

The lady shaman asked.

“Because they didn’t humiliate the villagers before they killed anyone, that’s why before you kill her, you cannot hit her.”
