After calling out for a long time without getting a response, Tao Dali's expression changed, and he dropped his luggage and ran towards the village.
"Old Guo, Old Guo, you didn't get blown up, did you?"
"Old Guo, Brother Di Fei, Chen Hao..."
After a day of repairs, the village looked somewhat presentable, but only marginally so.
The damage and burn marks from the two missiles were still visible, and Tao Dali could smell the burnt odor.
His voice trembled: "You...you...you're not all dead, are you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you cursing? I'm perfectly fine."
Guo Qi glared menacingly at Tao Dali, and the villagers who had been hiding in their respective shelters began to emerge.
Before the grief could subside, Tao Dali excitedly rushed towards Guo Qi, hugging him and jumping and laughing, tears streaming down his face. "I told you you were lucky, that you were blessed, that you wouldn't die, hahaha... and you really are alive."
Guo Qi was affected by Tao Dali's emotions, and his tense expression relaxed, but his tone was still sharp:
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you didn't want to come with us?"
Tao Dali patted Guo Qi hard, "How was I supposed to know you guys could cause such a commotion? Tangren Village is famous now. We came here specifically to seek refuge with you."
Guo Qi paused, his expression darkening slightly. What name? A name that's almost extinct?
Many of those who came with Tao Dali knew people from Tangren Village.
They all sought out acquaintances, greeted each other, and asked questions like, "Why are you here?" The village suddenly became lively.
Tao Dali was still excited. "Where did you get those planes? The bombing was so exhilarating!"
The three Guo brothers: "..."
He Xiao: "..."
The others: "..."
Everyone looked grim. What does that mean? We're being bombed, and you're so happy about it?
Wait, 'Where did you get this plane from?' Tao Dali was referring to you!
The crowd looked at him, puzzled.
Tao Dali was stunned. He scratched his head and said in a voice eight octaves lower, "Fourteen bombs! That was so satisfying!"
It was something truly inspiring, but he made it sound so sly.
The crowd: "..."
14 bombs? Where did 14 bombs come from, and where did they explode?
With the danger over and seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Pei Nansheng turned and left.
Guo Qi suddenly realized, looked at Pei Nansheng's back, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide.
So that's how it is! Such revenge, how satisfying!
But where did this plane come from? A sense of unease crept into my mind – could it really have been them?
He was like that, as were Di Fei, Chen Hao, and He Xiao.
The villagers all chimed in with their opinions:
"What? 14 bombs? What are you talking about?"
"Where was it blown up? Where was it blown up again?"
Those who were bombed, just like themselves, felt their grief lessened considerably.
Guo Qi didn't tell anyone about Pei Nansheng and his sister avenging them, so the villagers knew nothing about it.
Tao Dali, and the villagers from the Chinese village who came with him, were stumped by the question.
"You didn't know? Didn't you do it?"
"Fourteen bombs shattered the Scorpion's base."
"Yes, it's spread."
"Tangren Village became famous after the battle, and that's why we came to seek refuge there."
"..."
The villagers looked at Guo Qi, their eyes clearly asking, "Is...this true? We didn't hear the boss mention it."
Guo Qi coughed twice:
"Don't talk nonsense. Who knows who Scorpion offended? It has nothing to do with us. Where would we get a plane? It's just a rumor, all rumors."
We absolutely cannot admit to it. We can't admit to anything, can we? Robbing the Scorpion has already taught them a painful lesson.
If they bomb the Scorpion's base again, that would be terrible!
Suppressing their burning desire, Di Fei, Chen Hao, and Guo Qi feigned innocence, saying, "Who did this? They're incredibly arrogant! Damn it, they've finally met their match."
"If I find out who did it, I'll kowtow to them right now."
He Xiao glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Go and kowtow! You're in that tent over there, hurry up and kowtow!"
But we must maintain a consistent stance: "Who's so despicable as to pin this on us? If we were that capable, would we have been bombed so badly?"
They all sighed, their faces falling.
Four faces, each bearing the suffocating feeling of being beaten but powerless to fight back.
Tao Dali didn't believe it, and at the same time, he was a little disappointed.
"It really wasn't you?"
Not only was he disappointed, but all the villagers from the Chinese village who came with him were also disappointed.
Everyone's looking for a big tree to lean against for shade, but... this is the wrong place?
The four of them shook their heads in unison. "No, no, do we look like a place with airplanes?"
The ruins everywhere...it really doesn't look like it!
Tao Dali persisted, "You guys got bombed yesterday, didn't you?"
"Yes, you all saw it, didn't you? Look, look at what we did to them. More than 300 people died, and there are hardly any left."
This is the truth, a painful truth.
The villagers of Tangren Village thought to themselves, "We're not blind, can't we see? They're just stabbing us in the heart."
"You were just bombed, and then the Scorpion's base was bombed right after. If it wasn't you, then who was it?"
That makes so much sense, and the villagers of the Chinese village have renewed their hope.
The villagers of Tangren Village were taken aback. They looked at the two-room tent in the distance. Pei Nansheng and his sister had indeed gone out. They had thought they had run away when they realized something was wrong.
So...it really was...they...who did it?
A barrage of questions popped into my head: Where's the plane? Could it be a coincidence? That's too much of a coincidence!
With a twitch of his cheeks, Guo Qi said in a manner that was both crying and laughing:
"Brother Tao, do we look like we have a fortune? Let alone 14 bombs, we'd have to scavenge even the shrapnel from the rubble. If you want, we can find some for you."
