A few more peaceful days passed, and the group of foreigners all stayed close to their ship and did not cause any more trouble for Bai Wei and his men.
Xiao Qiang's leg has fully recovered and she no longer needs crutches. She can't stay idle and insists on dragging me to the woods at the foot of the mountain to pick some more herbs.
Recently, those foreigners have been going into the woods to break branches, and they've even cut down many perfectly good trees with axes.
They dragged the trees to their camp and piled them into a tall bonfire, singing and dancing non-stop all night long.
Although Bai Wei and I complained a lot, there was nothing we could do. After all, it was their right to make a fuss and laugh if they wanted to.
We simply used this time to quickly collect all the edible things in the vicinity.
Even Xiao Qiang has started coming down the mountain with us to pick mushrooms.
After picking all sorts of mushrooms, we washed and dried them, then packed them into large boxes we had taken from the ship's hold.
Just as we were planning to hunt two more wild boars, Bai Wei and his group clashed with the foreigners again.
This time, it was the foreigners who made the first move. The reason was that a female colleague went to relieve herself in the woods in the morning and threw herself at a foreigner who was also relieving himself in the woods.
The foreigner, after drinking, became lustful and almost raped his female colleague.
"What right do you have to bully people like this? Even on this island, you can't just disregard the law like this!"
Chen Jian glared angrily at the bearded foreigner.
But the bearded foreigner had a smiling expression on his face and kept looking at his female colleagues with a flirtatious gaze.
Xu Wei followed behind me, her brows furrowed tightly.
The female colleague who had been harassed was leaning against another female colleague, crying and sobbing, her face pale.
Chen Jian's words were incoherent and unclear, and he was sweating profusely with anxiety.
The bearded foreigner waved in their direction, and a foreign woman, swaying her slender waist, approached him with a smile.
The bearded foreigner swiftly pulled the woman into his arms and even gave her a quick kiss.
Chen Jian stuck out his tongue and rattled off a long string of words.
Xu Wei glanced at the foreigner's face and suddenly blushed. I looked down and asked her what was wrong and why she wasn't translating.
Xu Wei bit her lip and hesitated for a while before whispering, "That bearded foreigner said, he said..."
Xu Wei paused again, looked up at me with her face as red as an apple, and stammered.
"What did he say? We're arguing right now, it's so embarrassing if we can't understand what they're saying!"
"He said...their women could be exchanged with our women, and that their women were very beautiful and very skilled in that area..."
I don't know what the bearded foreigner originally said, but Xu Wei's halting translation shows that the bastard definitely didn't say anything nice.
Chen Jian, who was standing closest to me, also heard Xu Wei's explanation. His face immediately turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he glared at the bearded foreigner and began to curse.
"You fucking bastard! You're so shameless! What kind of skill is it to bully women? If you've got the guts, come at me!"
Chen Jian was cursing as he lunged at the foreigner, and I didn't even have time to pull him away.
But before Chen Jian could even extend his hand, the foreigner suddenly kicked Chen Jian to the ground, spat at him, and looked smug.
Wang Ping and the others usually have quite a temper with me, but they all went quiet when they saw this group of foreigners. However, they still managed to help Chen Jian up quickly and efficiently.
Chen Jian felt even more indignant after being hit. He stood up and wanted to rush over again, but I grabbed him.
"What's the point of doing this if you can't just kill him outright?"
"Are we just going to let him bully us like this? All of our female colleagues here are delicate and sensitive. How can we stand on our own two feet after he humiliates us like this?"
Xu Wei held my hand tightly, her face looking rather pale.
I also know that if these foreigners take advantage of us and keep bullying these girls, something bad will happen on the island sooner or later.
“Tell them that there is a Chinese saying: ‘An eye for an eye.’ If they are so shameless and still want to extend their claws, then we’ll chop one off every time they do.”
Xu Wei listened to my words and translated them word by word.
The bearded foreigner chuckled, then put his arm around the foreign woman and turned to go back to their cabin.
Chen Jian wanted to run over and yell at them, but Wang Ping behind him shook his head: "Forget it, anyway, Xiao Li wasn't really bullied by them. In the future, when girls go to the toilet, we'll just follow and protect them."
Wang Ping wanted to settle things peacefully, and Chen Jian couldn't say anything more. After all, when no one wanted to help you, if you recklessly rushed out on your own, the only result would be getting beaten up.
I patted Chen Jian on the shoulder and gave him a wink. Chen Jian didn't understand immediately, but he still spat at the backs of the foreigners and their group before angrily following us back to the cabin.
Xu Wei held my hand tightly the whole time; I knew she was scared.
When we entered the cabin, we saw Lin Xubo lying in the lounge with his legs crossed, humming a song, as if the argument between us and the group of foreigners had nothing to do with him.
Chen Jian is usually quiet and reserved at the company, but today he was probably very angry, because when he saw Lin Xubo like this, he raised his eyebrows.
"Manager Lin, we're all being bullied to the point of no return by those foreigners, and you're still in the mood to sing here? Are you even one of us?"
Lin Xubo glanced at him, then turned away and ignored him.
Bai Wei frowned but didn't make things difficult for Lin Xubo. He just sat in the cabin, rubbing his head, seemingly lost in thought.
The cabin was silent except for the sound of the female colleague crying.
Xu Wei couldn't stand it any longer. She tugged at my hand and whispered, "Let's go back."
I was also annoyed by my female colleague's crying, but I was also angry at the group of people for their lack of self-respect. These male colleagues couldn't even stand up for their own people when they were bullied. Chen Jian was the only one who was really useless. But I couldn't swallow this anger.
I gave Chen Jian a look, and he nodded. I went out first, and Chen Jian followed me out right behind me.
Standing outside the cabin, still seething with anger, he said, "Brother Sihai, don't you think they were a bit too cowardly? Little Li was bullied like that..."
Before he could finish speaking, I shook my head at him and pulled him to a place further away from the cabin.
"Do you want revenge?"
Chen Jian was taken aback when he heard what I said, but he quickly nodded.
"Of course I want to! I want to show these foreigners that we're not to be trifled with!"
"If you want revenge, come find me tonight. We have to get our revenge. But you can't just barge in like that. Come find me secretly. I have my own plans."
Chen Jian nodded with a look of surprise, and then I pulled Xu Wei back to the cave.
