Yao Ling shook her head and sighed, ”To be able to slaughter a lot of dogs in the name of righteousness, heroes tend to act out of the grass. It might not necessarily be possible to find out about it. Why don't you give it a try if you have the chance.” He raised his head and drank another bottle of beer. Then, he asked Wuji for another cigarette and started smoking.
Wei Wuji did not want to disturb his thoughts, so he said: ”Ok, you must have slept with the river for a long time. We have been searching all over the world for you. I will also sleep for a while, you can call me if you have anything to say.” He tore off a cushion and went to sleep on the other side of the floor.
Suddenly, he heard a few clear sounds of gunfire coming from outside. He immediately put out his cigarette and bent his body down. At the same time, Wei Wuji also woke up from his stupor, rolled over to a window, and cautiously peeked out.
”It's fine outside, the sound is distant.” He observed for a moment before confirming, ”Yes, we're far away from the stronghold. We're shooting guns outside.”
Yao Yun endured the pain on her body as she struggled to stand up. She took out the handgun from her luggage and attached it to her waist. Then, she and Wuji went outside together. At this time, the men in the stronghold were almost all out, carrying machetes, axes, sticks, and assorted old firearms. They swarmed out of the stronghold like a tide, as if they were going to fight the invaders.
At this time, Yao Ling saw Ashley shouting something to Wu Bo at the door. He hurriedly walked over and asked, ”What happened?”
Ashley's face reddened. It was unknown if it was due to anger or the light from the fire outside the door that she shouted angrily, ”They are massacring! This is too cruel! ”
”The people from the stronghold are fighting with a group of Rohingyas nearby. It is said that the two little girls in the stronghold were raped and strangled to death by a few Rohingyas. They then went to kill the Rohingyas for revenge. Look outside, a lot of people were burned to death.”
Sure enough, there were many people lying on the ground. There were a few trees with five or six charred bodies hanging on them, and a few young teenagers were currently beating up a Luo Xingyan with wooden sticks, who was still struggling and breathing. A group of younger kids were standing in the distance and watching the commotion with excitement, and the main force of the village had already run far away, probably to chase after the fleeing Luo Xingyan.
Ashley was still roaring angrily at Wu Bo, and Yao Ling reckoned that she wanted Wu Bo to stop this massacre. Wu Bo stood there silently, listening without anger or joy, and only after a long while did he open his arms up and say something helplessly, while Jin Buyi, who was at the side, translated for Yao Rong and the others: ”He said that since these Luo Xing clan's people raped the daughters of their people, they would have to pay the price. Although he is the chief, he can't stop them from taking revenge.”
Without waiting for Jin Buyi to finish speaking, Yao Ling went over and grabbed Ashley's arm. However, she angrily flung him away. Yao Yun was also a little angry. She reached out her hand to grab Ashley and pulled her close, causing Ashley to stagger. When the little girl at the side saw Yao Ling being so rude to Ashley, she stepped forward to stop him. Annoyed, she shouted, ”I'm doing this for your own fucking good!”
Wu Bo smiled and nodded towards Yao Ling before leaving with the rest of the villagers. Yao Ling pulled Ashley into her arms and said, ”Calm down, aren't you usually like this? You are a woman who has seen much of the world. If these people and the Rohingyas have been enemies for generations, who knows how many generations this blood feud has been formed. Can you and I just end it with a few words? He was just that cruel in this world. There were people who lived a peaceful and comfortable life, and there were people who did not want to eat. This was life, and there was nothing we could do about it. ”You are a rich person, and your life is precious. If you are truly kind, then don't meddle in other people's business, and live well. Go back and earn more money to do good deeds. Don't use your life to fill in the hole, it's not worth it.”
Yeah, I have a lot of serious work to do. I can't even save my father, so who can I save? Ashley quickly calmed down, but he still refused to admit it and said, ”I'm not going to do anything, I'm just trying to persuade them. It's too cruel.” ”Just capture those rapists, why kill so many innocent people? Besides, I advise them not to do anything to us.”
Yao Ling sneered, ”They've already been fighting and killing each other for hundreds of years, can you persuade them? These villagers are simple and honest, but their brains are also simple. Other than eating human and beast for them, you are their benefactor, and if you speak kindly for the murderer of their sister, you are their accomplice. Now that they are already killing each other, what if they make a move on us? Wu Bo was a veteran military leader, and was probably someone who would kill people to their heart's content. If you scolded him like that, who knew what would happen? Besides, the current situation was not as good as it had been before. The Burmese government would not allow this kind of mutual hatred between them. If these locals found it more and more difficult to drive away the Rohingyas, it was rare to find such a chance to kill them all. If you objected like this, what if you reported it to the Burmese government after exiting? ”Those of us who are away must understand our mission. If we can help, we can, but if we are in danger, we must avoid it.”
