"Thank you, village chief. What happened in the village may also be related to us. If we hadn't arrived suddenly, it wouldn't have affected A-Dong and made him make that decision."
In the past, Ah Dong had no other targets to frame, which is why he didn't take action.
Xu Yuehuai didn't know why A Dong did that, but it did seem to be related to them.
After hearing this, the village chief felt that Xu Yuehuai was truly a woman of great understanding and righteousness, and he liked her very much.
"Actually, I asked A-Dong about it later. A-Dong seemed to have suddenly become a different person. He suddenly sneered and told me why he did this."
"It turns out that when his relatives died, those livestock appeared around them. He felt that those livestock had killed his relatives and taken their lives. So he especially hated all the livestock raised in the village, which is why he attacked them, tortured and killed them, and then buried them in his family's ancestral grave to accompany his relatives in death."
...
After hearing these words, Xu Yuehuai felt a little sad. Adong was all alone now, all his original relatives were dead.
If she were in Ah Dong's situation, she wondered if she would act impulsively in the same way.
After all, in the eyes of someone who has lost a loved one, perhaps everything in front of them is their enemy.
Fortunately, Xu Yuehuai did not suffer the same fate, and the situation has stabilized. They are now going to Wuling Kingdom to join Qi Guze's other subordinates, and their future will surely improve gradually.
"Oh, I see. Ah Dong is really pitiful. I just hope he won't do anything like that again. Village Chief, you should take good care of him."
Xu Yuehuai took out some silver coins and gave them to the village chief.
“We haven’t helped you much, and this amount of dry rations is far too much. You’ve had a hard time, so we absolutely won’t take your things for nothing. Here’s some silver for you.”
"Go east, and you'll find a small town with a market where you can buy some things."
She sensed that this village was particularly secluded, perhaps because it rarely interacted with other villages or bought anything from them, and that everyone lived a very primitive life.
The village chief was deeply moved after receiving the silver, and thanked Xu Yuehuai profusely before watching them leave with great emotion.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze packed their things and then left the village with their guards.
While sitting in the carriage, Xu Yuehuai said to Qi Guze, "I suspect that this A Dong has multiple personalities. The village chief said that when he questioned A Dong, he suddenly seemed like a different person. That means there must be another personality inside him. The person who did those things was A Dong's other personality, which is why A Dong denied doing those things."
After hearing this, Qi Guze pondered for a while. Although he didn't know what multiple personality disorder was, he could roughly guess from Xu Yuehuai's description.
"So that's how it is. Then everything makes sense. This Ah Dong doesn't know any martial arts at all, but the other personality inside him has extremely high martial arts skills. He concealed his whereabouts in all the crimes he committed. These things must have been done by that other personality."
“If that person has a normal personality, we might be able to recruit him and have him come with us to Wuling Kingdom.”
After all, talented people are rare, but they could guess that the other personality of A-Dong was particularly unsuitable for interacting with people without having met him. If they accepted the other personality of A-Dong, perhaps some other unexpected things would happen along the way.
For the safety of all of them, they absolutely cannot do such a dangerous thing.
"That's such a pity. It seems that A-Dong's other personality was affected by the death of his loved ones, becoming extremely violent and murderous, and is completely unusable for us."
Xu Yuehuai sighed and turned to look at the village they were leaving behind.
The village was getting farther and farther away from them, and it looked like it was about to disappear.
Just as it was about to disappear, Xu Yuehuai seemed to see a glimmer of light.
"Stop the car! Stop the car! The village looks like it's on fire!"
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly patted the crossbeam of the carriage, immediately urging Pei Xuan, who was driving, to stop the carriage.
After hearing what she said, Qi Guze also pulled open the carriage curtain and looked towards the village. Sure enough, he saw a bright flame.
The fire burned brighter and brighter, and it looked like it was about to burn down the entire village.
Pei Xuan quickly stopped the carriage and waited for Xu Yuehuai and the others to give further instructions.
"Your Highness, those villagers are actually very kind people. They are in such danger now, and we don't know if it was caused by us. I want to rush back to save them!" Xu Yuehuai said to Qi Guze, feeling extremely anxious.
Seeing how worried Xu Yuehuai was about the villagers, Qi Guze said to Pei Xuan, "In that case, let's go back and check on the villagers first."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan immediately turned the carriage around and rushed back to the village.
They rode swiftly, and the group quickly returned to the vicinity of the village.
But as they approached the village, they smelled a peculiar odor emanating from the fire, like some kind of poison.
"Your Highness, please do not get any closer. It seems there are some poisonous substances burning in this fire."
Xu Yuehuai carefully smelled the scents, feeling that they were somewhat familiar.
She thought about it for a long time before she realized that she had smelled that scent before at A Dong's family's ancestral grave.
Upon learning of this, Pei Xuan and the others quickly protected Qi Guze and his companions to prevent anyone from attacking them.
The fire in the village was extremely serious, and it had almost completely burned down the village. The villagers' cries for help could no longer be heard; it was as if they had all died.
"Who poisoned the village, and who set it on fire?"
"The fire is extremely serious right now, and we have no way to put it out."
"Go and see if there are any survivors. If there are, rescue them."
After Qi Guze instructed Pei Xuan and the others to take precautions, he then went to search the fire for any survivors.
However, after Pei Xuan and his group entered the fire area, they searched carefully but did not find a single living person.
The village was about to be burned to the ground, and after finding no survivors, they had no choice but to leave the fire area as quickly as possible.
