Chapter 590 What if I kill them all?
"It's not dirty! How could it be dirty? I don't see anything dirty about it at all!"
Wen Ni moved closer again, trying to give all her warmth to Mei Xuan. Her movements were very gentle, tentatively holding the still emotionally agitated Mei Xuan in her arms.
He kept muttering, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Qin Yuan carefully brought Wang Wen, who was squatting at the bottom of the stairs, in from behind. After all, he was a man and couldn't make any hugging gestures, so he just quietly stayed with her and helped her wrap her coat.
Fortunately, Coco Wang's emotions remained relatively stable.
The accompanying soldiers were responsible for cleaning up the scene. They moved the bodies of the Burmese soldiers who had died to one side and piled them up haphazardly. Then they laid the bodies of the two fallen Chinese soldiers on the ground, found a cloth bag, and carefully wrapped them up, intending to take them back later.
"Wen Ni, we can't stay here any longer. This is the main street, and it's not safe here. I'm afraid... there will be Burmese soldiers turning back!" Qin Yuan still held his gun in his hand, glancing back every now and then, afraid of spotting the slightest movement.
"Um."
Wen Ni thought so too. She nodded and gently patted Mei Xuan's shoulder.
"Meixuan, let's take you and Wang Wen back first. No matter what happened, let's get back to the camp first, okay?"
"No...I won't go back!"
Meixuan's emotions had calmed down a bit, and she was no longer as frantic and resistant as before, but she still hugged her arms tightly and sat huddled on the counter.
No matter how Wen Ni tried to persuade her, Mei Xuan just shook her head blankly and refused to leave!
“Meixuan, listen to me. No matter how difficult or painful things are, let’s go back, let’s go back first! In any case, at least we’re still alive. As long as we’re alive, nothing is difficult.”
"I'd rather be dead... After something like this happened, how can I face my husband and children?" Meixuan sat quietly on the counter, trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt, feeling filthy and disgusting from the inside out!
"Why don't you have the face to go back and see them? It's not you who's wrong, it's those beasts who are worse than animals! You did nothing wrong, and compared to your life, this is nothing. Your husband and children will only be grateful that you're still alive!"
“Wen Ni, you’re still young, you don’t understand. Even if they don’t say anything, this really happened, and it will become a barrier between us, a thorn stuck in our hearts!” Mei Xuan’s brows furrowed in anguish, her palms trembling as she clutched her chest, trying to hold back her shattering heart. “Besides, I… I can’t accept it myself, I can’t accept myself being so filthy…”
Meixuan was already in such pain and on the verge of collapse, saying such sad things, but her tone was flat, like a mechanical puppet.
Wen Ni would rather she go crazy and scream than have this seemingly indifferent, deathly calm demeanor!
"Wen Ni, I need to ask you for a favor. If you ever have the chance to meet someone from the 83rd Group Army, could you please help me find a man named Zhang Wei...?"
“If you want to find someone, go back and find them yourself. I won’t help you!” Wen Ni’s eyes were slightly red.
“Listen to me, Wen Ni.” Mei Xuan’s voice grew weak, each word seeming to be uttered with her last ounce of strength. Her cold, pale fingers rested on Wen Ni’s arm. “If you encounter anyone from the 83rd Army, ask them to tell Zhang Wei that his wife died a heroic death. And the children… tell the children that their mother was the bravest! She sacrificed herself heroically in battle against the enemy. That’s all. Don’t tell them, don’t tell them…”
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're perfectly fine! Go tell them these things yourself! I'm taking you back right now, taking you and Wang Wen back to heal your wounds!"
Wen Ni couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Mei Xuan's hand in return, her palm trembling from the coldness!
"Wen Ni, you... take a good look at me." Mei Xuan pressed Wen Ni's hand down again, then looked down and pointed to the blood beneath her. "It's hopeless, no one can save me, but I don't want to die like this, I want to die with dignity..."
"Who says I can't save you! Let me tell you, I'm a doctor too! I can save you! Come back with me now!" Wen Ni refused to let go, putting her arm around Mei Xuan's waist to help her down, but Mei Xuan didn't budge.
“I know my own body.” Meixuan sighed, squeezing out these words from her throat. She looked at Wen Ni’s still stubbornly persistent expression.
After a long pause, Meixuan finally sighed, then looked up and gestured towards the counter, saying softly, "You really are stubborn... I can't persuade you otherwise, so I'll go back with you. Could you help me get the things in that bag? Wang Wen and I found them on the first floor; they're all girls' items."
Mostly sanitary napkins.
Wen Ni merely glanced in that direction following her gaze, without letting go.
But Meixuan, who had been sitting at the counter, suddenly took the opportunity to push Wen Ni's arm away and jumped down barefoot!
The oversized military coat slipped off Mei Xuan's body, leaving her naked as she picked up the pistol that the Burmese soldier had dropped in his haste.
Wen Ni reacted quickly, but it was too late when she turned around. At that moment, Mei Xuan had her arm raised, and the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at her own temple!
"Meixuan! What are you doing? Don't be impulsive!" Qin Yuan and the others were equally shocked and rushed over.
Wang Wen was also frightened, stammering, "Meixuan, don't be impulsive!"
"Meixuan, put the gun down!" Wen Ni shouted sternly.
“Wen Ni, I’ve thought all of this through carefully.” Mei Xuan shook her head, taking a step back as she faced them, her face deathly pale. “Wen Ni, you must do what I asked of you. I’m sorry to trouble you, but this is my only wish… I’m sorry, and thank you!”
“Meixuan, you’re not even afraid of death, so why won’t you come back with me alive? What does your so-called chastity matter? Besides, in this situation, no one will blame you!” Wen Ni took a step forward, but Meixuan would take a step back.
“Everyone has different ideas…” Meixuan closed her eyes and sighed, “I’m tired, I’m really tired…”
As he spoke, his trembling fingertips were about to pull the trigger.
"No! No!" Wang Wen sobbed, trying to stop them.
Qin Yuan and the others widened their eyes and stepped forward to try to seize the gun, but how could such a short distance be faster than the speed of a bullet?
“Meixuan! Those Burmese barbarian soldiers who insulted you! What if I helped you kill them? What if I helped you kill them all!” Wen Ni’s cold voice was high-spirited and echoed repeatedly.
The third floor was completely silent!
Meixuan's finger, which was almost on the trigger, suddenly stopped.
Wen Ni stood right in front of her, her gaze resolute and unwavering, continuing, "Let them all die, all of them die! Don't you want to see that? Don't you want to see all those who bullied you get their comeuppance? Why are they still alive and well, while the victims have to die? That's not fair!"
These words made Meixuan hesitate again and again.
A faint glimmer of light and confusion flickered in her eyes.
This brief pause was enough for Wen Ni. Without wasting a moment, she rushed forward and pressed down on Mei Xuan's arm, which was holding a gun!
Qin Yuan immediately ran over, grabbed some clothes and wrapped them around Mei Xuan, then kicked the gun far away!
Meixuan trembled all over, a trace of life returning to her lifeless eyes. She turned her head to look at Wen Ni's profile. "You said... kill them? Let them all die?"
