Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan

He Ru seemed to understand what Village Chief He meant. She waited a moment, and seeing no one else speak, she said, "At this point, we have no choice but to strike first and kill these four." He Ru knew this sentence would change her life. Village Chief He hadn't expected this girl to be the last to speak, and he admired He Ru even more. He thought a little girl with no experience shouldn't know these things.

But he wasn't really surprised. Everyone looked at He Ru the moment she started talking, and after hearing what she said, they all took a deep breath, thinking, "This girl is so cruel." Little did they know that in troubled times, those who are soft-hearted will not survive long.

After thinking about it, they looked at Village Chief He, wanting to confirm whether Village Chief He had the same idea as He Ru. When they saw Village Chief He nodded, their hearts died.

Seeing everyone like this, Village Chief He said, "Let me make this clear in advance: if anyone thinks you're cruel or has any objections to you, feel free to leave and stop badmouthing us behind our backs." Everyone felt guilty, having already eaten He Ru's melons. Seeing Village Chief He's scrutinizing gaze sweep over them, they all shook their heads, afraid that if they were a little too late, they wouldn't be able to express their resolve.

Village Chief He's voice, both satisfied and skeptical, echoed, "That's best. Don't say I don't trust you. I'm only looking after my own children. If you don't understand why we killed these four people, then listen to what Ru has to say."

He Ru hadn't expected the topic to jump to her so quickly. Village Chief He wasn't afraid of speaking poorly. But even if she thought about it, she didn't hesitate to speak. After all, this was an opportunity she had to seize.

He said, "Because killing the four of them is the most direct and simple method. If they survive, it means their plan succeeded, and if their plan succeeds, it means our team will be scattered. Once scattered, our strength will be reduced. By then, everyone can step on us, and we won't have enough strength to fight them. I believe you all know what will happen to us by then. Even if our team survives by chance, it will definitely be severely damaged and we won't have the strength to fight them. Do you know what they will use us for? How can they be good people if they can do such a thing? Do you still think they treat us well?"

Tired from a series of outputs, He Ru took a break and glanced at Village Chief He. She didn't want to reveal too much. Although she was sure that Village Chief He was a good man, he was also a soldier and he would still be suspicious. When the truth came out, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Then... the village chief spoke up himself: "Everyone, I believe you are wise and should understand our intentions. Then I will explain it to you in detail. I just said that if we don't kill them first, our fate will be tragic. How tragic? It's nothing more than hard labor for men and women, working during the day, and crammed into a room with hundreds of people at night. There will also be fierce fighting over food and shelter. Some of them are extremely vicious. Can you defeat them? Can you win the fight? I'm afraid your parents will be dragged into the battlefield as 'vanguards', or like you, they will be eliminated at the very beginning. Your wives and daughters may be... you can imagine it yourself."

Seeing that everyone's brows were furrowing more as they listened further, Village Chief He stopped talking.

After they reacted for a while, he said, "Old friends, I know you are kind by nature, but in troubled times, only by preserving ourselves and surviving to the end can we have the life to do good deeds, right?" Seeing that they nodded in agreement, he said, "As the escape time gets longer, our situation will get worse. You'd better not be so kind as to help the people in need, otherwise everyone will follow our example and decide whether to save them or not. How can we save so many people? And after saving them, will we still be alive? By then..." Village chief He still didn't say it. He still held on to a glimmer of hope, fearing that good things would not work and bad things would.

Everyone was lost in thought and didn't notice that Village Chief He had retracted a sentence, but He Ru knew what Village Chief He had retracted.

"Think about it for yourselves. Go back and control the villagers. Remember the rumors about Ru Yatou." Seeing them nod, he wanted to walk out. Anxiously, Village Chief He added: "Avoid people."

Not long after, Zhao Gang indeed came to see Village Chief He. Upon seeing him, he said, "Village Chief He, I see you are exceptionally brave and have the bearing of an emperor." His words were extremely perfunctory, not even bothering to dwell on the compliment. Hearing this, Village Chief He suspected he might be a traitor to a high-ranking figure who was intent on rebellion, using the refugees to stir up trouble and create a spark. Or perhaps he was a spy from another country, intent on causing civil unrest in Xiqing and profiting from it. It was undeniable that Village Chief He, as the man most closely associated with Grandpa He, was quite capable. Because he had revealed the truth.

Knowing he couldn't get any more useful information out of him, Village Chief He feigned anger and said, "You're not even worthy enough to talk to me. Go get your superior to talk to me." Zhao Gang remained calm and said with a smile, "What superior? I only have myself. I've seen how effective your administration is these days, Village Chief He, so I'm thinking of joining you for a living." "If you don't want to talk, then there's no need to talk," Village Chief He interrupted him. Then, he tightened his grip on the dagger in his sleeve.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say." Just as he was about to draw the dagger from his sleeve, Village Chief He restrained his hand with immense force. Village Chief He was stalling because the team was advancing, with no cover, and everyone could see their movements at a glance.

The village chief started fighting with Zhao Gang after seeing He Yufeng and He Qian'an arrive at the old man, while He Ru and He Yurun went to capture Yang Sangou and the other man who had escaped.

He Ru and He Yu Run soon caught up to the two. Seeing them running ahead, they made a familiar TV drama move—they exchanged glances, and He Ru leaped in front of them. Because He Ru and He Yu Run's movements were so subtle, the two, so focused on running, didn't notice anyone behind them. He Ru's leap frightened them half to death, and they stood there, afraid to move.

He Ru snatched the purse that was tossing back and forth in Yang Sangou's hands. Only then did they both react and turned around and ran away without caring about the money. Oh no, they were scared again, because while running, they found He Yurun in front of them.

Seeing He Ru and the other man getting closer, they remembered to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spread rumors, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time." Yang Sangou said while kowtowing, and Yang Daba also kowtowed beside him. Don't ask why Yang Daba didn't speak, the answer is that his words were snatched away and he had nothing to say.

They didn't know how they brought about their own death, they just thought that they had spread rumors about He Ru and He Ru had discovered them.

He Ru said nonchalantly, "I'll let you go." The two of them immediately became happy and were about to kowtow to express their gratitude and run away. But He Ru stopped them, "Don't be impatient. I have conditions. My conditions are, they are..."

Needless to say, this action not only scared the two people again and made them think that He Ru had changed his mind, but also made He Yurun next to him unable to do anything.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, He Ru said slowly: "You two can tell each other about the bad things you have done. Whoever says less will die." The speed of speech suddenly increased from 0.75 times to 1.5 times. The sudden acceleration made the two people almost unable to hear clearly. But then they both spoke.

Yang Sangou: "When he was eight years old, he peeped at someone taking a bath. When he was nine years old, he killed the neighbor's dog and stole money from his grandmother's house... Last year, he robbed a woman and killed her. Last year, he went to a woman's house and broke the legs of the woman's husband. They were right next to them..." He didn't finish because he also felt it was too much.
