After learning the whole story, Wang Qingge suppressed her anger and spoke to the person in charge.
"Is this how your scenic area operates? Is this how you protect historical relics?"
“If someone is causing trouble, it’s fine if you don’t stand up to stop them, but why are you making things difficult for those righteous people who stand up to stop them?”
"Do you really think you can let them cause trouble just so you can leave a good impression on foreigners?"
Wang Qingge asked the person in charge several questions in a row, but how could they, as the persons in charge, possibly admit their own mistakes?
So the fat woman quickly retorted to Wang Qingge, "I've already told you all that."
"We at the scenic area aren't going to pursue this matter anymore, so what's the point of you outsiders doing it?"
Seeing that the other party still said the same thing, Wang Xuetong couldn't help but ask again, "Why won't you pursue this matter if you won't investigate?"
"Why do you stand by and watch historical relics be destroyed without doing anything about it?"
I thought that Wang Xuetong's words would at least make the other party realize their mistake.
But Wang Qingge and the others were wrong. This person in charge not only failed to realize his mistake, but also spoke with self-righteousness.
"The murals there aren't very important. If they get a little dirty or scratched, it doesn't matter."
"It's you yourselves who keep clinging to this."
"What did you say?" After hearing the person in charge say that the location of the murals was not important.
Wang Qingge was truly, truly furious; this time, his anger was already quite evident.
"Since you say the murals are unimportant? They are historical artifacts left over from thousands of years ago, and you dare to say they are unimportant."
"How exactly did you become the person in charge here?"
When Wang Qingge said that, the other party completely abandoned all pretense and said, "I said it's not important, so it's not important."
"Our scenic area isn't going to pursue this matter, so what's the point of you doing so?"
"Besides, you're not experts, so you certainly don't know which murals are important or not."
“We have so many experts here, if they say it’s not important, then it’s not important.”
"So we won't pursue it! It's that simple."
"Very good, you all do a great job." Wang Qingge gave the person in charge a thumbs up.
"Let's go, little brother! We'll just file a complaint against them. There's no point in talking to people like that."
His second sister, Wang Xuetong, was probably fed up with these people's attitude, so she couldn't be bothered to say anything more to them.
Wang Qingge also knew that with this kind of attitude from the person in charge, there was definitely no way to communicate with them.
So he didn't want to waste any more time here, and decided to go somewhere else and complain about them.
The fat woman was very angry when she heard Wang Xuetong say that she would complain about them.
"Go ahead! Go ahead and complain wherever you want, we're not afraid, do whatever you want."
Seeing that the other party was still saying the same thing, Wang Qingge wanted to say a few more words, but his second sister, Wang Xuetong, pulled him away.
"Let's go, little brother. Don't talk to these kinds of people. You can't communicate with them because they don't understand human language."
“You’re the ones who can’t understand human language, stop pretending.” The fat woman continued.
Unfortunately, Wang Qingge and his second sister ignored her and quickly left the area.
...
Wang Qingge actually knew very well what had happened today.
It's not that the murals are unimportant, nor that the scenic area doesn't want to pursue the matter; it's not that simple.
It's because the people who caused the damage were a group of foreigners that they acted this way.
They fawn over foreigners and try to leave a good impression on foreigners, which is why they made such a big fuss and remained indifferent.
If the people who vandalized the murals today were not foreigners, but other people...
The people here were already stomping their feet in anger; how could they possibly let such a big problem become a small one, or a small problem disappear altogether?
Thinking of this, Wang Qingge felt a surge of anger. It seemed that this kind of worship of foreign things and fawning over foreigners was something that people did, both in her past life and now.
But they won't let it go so easily; they'll definitely file a proper complaint.
Having figured all this out, Wang Qingge said to his second sister, "Second sister, this is not your fault. Blame those people."
"They are protecting the other side; they are simply not taking this matter seriously."
Wang Xuetong was naturally very clear about these principles, so she immediately spoke up.
"I know about this, little brother. It's just that they're blindly worshipping foreign things. You can understand it once you think about it. There's nothing more to say."
Only then did Wang Qingge realize that his second sister also knew that the people here were obsessed with foreign things.
"Alright, little brother, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go."
"Hmm!" Wang Qingge nodded, then seemed to remember something.
"By the way, second sister, I still don't know what the damaged murals look like. Why don't we go take a look?"
"Oh, okay, I'll take you there to have a look." Wang Xuetong nodded when Wang Qingge said that.
Soon, Wang Xuetong brought Wang Qingge to the scenic area with the murals to see them.
The murals here are incredibly lifelike, recording events from a thousand years ago.
My first reaction upon seeing these murals was shock.
Yes, that's right, it's shock. I believe everyone has this reaction because the murals left over from a thousand years ago are truly perfect.
No one would have guessed that such amazing painting skills already existed a thousand years ago.
Therefore, everyone who sees these murals is immediately shocked.
Under such circumstances, it goes without saying how precious and important these murals are in people's hearts.
After seeing these murals, Wang Qingge asked his second sister, "By the way, second sister, where are those murals that foreigners scratched?"
"Oh, it's over there. Come on, let me take you there to see it."
"Um."
Soon, Wang Xuetong led Wang Qingge to a mural.
"Young man, look quickly, these are the murals that those foreigners scratched."
When Wang Qingge looked, the mural his second sister had pointed to was indeed real.
Because on the figurines in the mural, one person's face had been drawn with a long line.
"Damn it, these people." Wang Qingge was even angrier when she saw this.
It wasn't just one person's face that was smudged; the clothes of one or two others were also drawn on with the same pen.
Because of the strokes, the mural's aesthetic appeal has been greatly diminished.
