"My sister lied to me. Mom didn't want to live a long time ago. She always hugged me back then..." Xiao Lei shook his head and talked to himself, burying his head in his legs.
After saying this, when he raised his head again, Xiao Lei returned to his previous appearance, saying nothing and with no expression, like a puppet, lifeless.
Night fell quietly without anyone noticing. Pot after pot of water was boiled in the kitchen, and other people from Linjia Village spontaneously sent clothes and mattresses without any organization. They were not new or good, but they were all clean.
After washing and changing into clean clothes, the group finally lay down on the bedding they had longed for. It felt like a dream. In the morning, they were still freezing and hungry in the wilderness, and in the evening, they could lie down well-fed and warm. It really felt like a dream...
Fearing that their dreams would be shattered, everyone was afraid to fall asleep for a long time. The Lin and Ye families also tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Many people in the village had their own concerns. They had witnessed what happened at the village entrance during the day, and they still felt a little uneasy.
"They both have their own ideas. We can only support them." Lin Yu sat up and took out the pipe that he hadn't used for a long time. He wanted to take a puff, but then he remembered what Shi Huan said and put it down silently.
Upon hearing this, Liu could only nod slightly, but the worry on her face did not disappear. "That's what I said, but it's not so easy to let go of this feeling in my heart."
The principles of the world are easy to understand, but when it comes to actually putting them into practice, it is not easy for anyone.
As for Ye Wanwan, she held Xiao Lei's hand and led a group of people behind her to the outside of the room where the group of people were imprisoned.
Inside the room, Huai Shi's specially made extra-special aphrodisiac incense had burned out, leaving behind traces of joy.
Unbearable noises came from inside, and from time to time there were sounds of people cursing. Ye Wanwan held Xiao Lei in her arms to comfort him, and nodded to Qingyu.
Upon hearing the sound, Qingyu threw a dagger in and said, "If you castrate yourself, I will let you live."
The group of naked people inside looked at each other. After experiencing such torture, they no longer had the arrogance they once had.
The leader of the victims was the first to pick up the dagger and attacked without mercy. With a loud noise, something fell out.
His face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, full of hatred. "That little girl is very vicious. If I can survive today, I will never let her go."
As screams came from inside, Ye Wanwan put Xiao Lei on the ground and sent him to Qingyu, "Qingyu, take everyone to see it."
"Yes." Qingyu held Xiaolei in her arms and walked over there with a group of people.
Ye Wanwan watched everyone walk to the door of the house, turned around and piled firewood beside the house with Lin Xu'an, poured a lot of tung oil, and then waited at the door with a large basket of torches.
It's impossible to let them go. They are a bunch of bad and stupid people who deserve to die.
The people who passed by covered their eyes with tears, cursed from time to time, and whispered as they handed over stones that had been prepared long ago, but did not let anyone get close.
As stones were thrown in, the people inside cried and begged for mercy. After everyone came out, Ye Wanwan had the doors and windows sealed, and then began to distribute torches.
There are enough torches prepared, and anyone who wants to participate can do so. This is the hatred and vengeance shared by everyone, so naturally they should participate.
"Xiao Lei, this is your torch." Ye Wanwan placed the lit torch in Xiao Lei's hand and took him to the side of the house.
As the torches fell, the raging fire spread like crazy, and soon the whole house was on fire. As the beams inside fell, the fire became more and more unstoppable.
A group of people outside covered their faces and cried. Through the firelight, they seemed to be able to glimpse the figures of the people inside. Those people who had brought them nightmares for several days seemed to be really dying.
The group of people inside started out by begging for help and mercy, then started cursing, and gradually no more shouting could be heard.
Lin Xu'an held Ye Wanwan's hand with one hand and held Xiao Lei with the other. When he noticed that Ye Wanwan's body was trembling a little, he only dared to hold her hand tightly. Her hand was cold and a little sweaty.
When Lin Xu'an turned his head to look over, Ye Wanwan's eyes were already filled with tears. The firelight reflected in her eyes, flashing with the tears, as if they were about to break.
Just at the last moment when the fire was extinguished, a rain suddenly fell, and the drizzle hit the ruins, extinguishing all the dust and smoke.
Now, the things that Ye Wanwan had prepared in advance - water for fire fighting - were of no use. She just wanted to do things completely and didn't want to leave any risks.
"Sisters, everything is over. The falling of this rain is enough to prove that God is on our side." Ye Wanwan said softly, as if she didn't notice the rain hitting her face.
"We all need to live a good life in the future and start over. The mistakes they made cannot become shackles that trap us."
Her voice was soft, yet gentle and firm, quietly blooming in everyone's heart on this rainy night, with a resounding voice.
After Ye Wanwan finished speaking, she helped the people kneeling on the ground up one by one. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face. How could she not be afraid? She was afraid too.
Perhaps some people knew that the flames in that sky had been burning for a very, very long time, but what they didn't know was that the fire burned away not only those injustices, but also the haze in many people's hearts...
"Wanwan, Wanwan..." In the middle of the night, Lin Xu'an touched Ye Wanwan's hot forehead, daring only to call her name softly, and patted his head in annoyance.
It was his negligence. He had noticed that Ye Wanwan was not in a good condition since the morning, and she got caught in the rain in the evening. He shouldn't have indulged her when she didn't want to drink the medicine he made for everyone just now.
Ye Wanwan, completely unaware of all this, turned over, humming softly, and fell into a nightmare, "No, I didn't kill anyone intentionally, I didn't..."
Lin Xu'an was very anxious when he saw Ye Wanwan like this. He got out of bed and boiled some medicine, feeding her spoonful by spoonful. Then he kept changing her handkerchiefs just to lower her body temperature.
It wasn't until the eastern sky began to turn pale that Ye Wanwan's body temperature slowly dropped and her breathing gradually stabilized...
