Su Rong's face looked very unhappy. When he thought of the scene he had just seen, he couldn't eat at all. So many children were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
Those are all children!
He thought of the native children he had met in Kunming before. Even if they had lost their parents, at least they still had grandparents. Even if they were in a worse situation and had no relatives to raise them, at least they would not be brought here to be bled like livestock.
He Chaoyan was already used to this. Seeing Su Rong so excited, he just sighed lightly, then reached out to pour a glass of wine for Su Rong, and said softly: "Uncle, I know that few people can keep a normal mind when seeing this situation for the first time, but there is no way. I will tell you clearly that this is the most common thing here. There are countless children like this here, and you can't count them at all. If you want to save them, you can only save them one by one, but can you save them all?"
It's not just one or two people, but the whole town is doing this. How can we save them
Su Rong was stunned. He didn't quite understand what He Chaoyan meant, so he looked at her hesitantly, "What do you mean?"
He Chaoyan didn't say anything else. He looked at the food on the table and motioned Su Rong to finish his meal first.
How could Su Rong still have an appetite to eat? He was so confused by these series of strange things that he had no intention of doing anything else. He looked at He Chaoyan with a faint expression: "Do you want me to watch it myself?"
However, He Chaoyan nodded affirmatively.
Su Rong was just asking a question. In his opinion, the most outrageous thing had already happened, and it couldn't get any more outrageous. But in fact, it wasn't like that. Looking at He Chaoyan's expression, was there anything else going on?!
He couldn't help but be shocked, but he could only suppress his doubts and perfunctorily shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
He Chaoyan didn't say anything after that. She asked the waiter to come and clean up the dishes, and then she lay down on the bed, not forgetting to take care of Su Rong: "Master, you should also take a rest. Even if you are not tired, it is best to close your eyes and rest your mind. There are still many things to deal with later. If you don't rest your mind well, I am afraid you can't hold on."
Su Rong never thought that one day he would hear such a reminder from someone else. He wanted to laugh for a moment, but he realized that He Chaoyan was telling the truth, so he didn't say anything else. He just rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, then leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he was drowsy, he was suddenly pushed by someone.
Su Rong immediately came back to his senses, shuddered, looked over, and saw He Chaoyan making a gesture to silence him.
He reacted very quickly and got off the couch. Seeing He Chaoyan climbing out of the window, he followed behind He Chaoyan. After a while, they left the ancestral hall they saw in the afternoon. He Chaoyan took him to the ground at one place, and then took him straight to the partition between the two houses. After walking for an unknown period of time, He Chaoyan in front suddenly stopped and said softly, "We're here."
At this time, they were no longer in the bustling town center, but had walked a long way. They could vaguely see many hills. He Chaoyan came out of the alley, turned around and whispered to Su Rong, "Come out."
Su Rong's patience has reached its limit. What he wants to know is why these Miao people are so difficult to deal with. However, he has no idea what all this that He Chaoyan brought him to experience today has to do with it. Or rather, it is beyond his understanding. No one likes the feeling that everything is out of control and in a mystery.
He looked at He Chaoyan with a sullen face.
He Chaoyan knew what he was thinking. She was silent for a moment and gave up her seat.
Then, Su Rong was shocked to see the scene on the mountain - it was already midnight, and everything was quiet at this time, especially in the mountains of this small town. Most people had fallen asleep, but the difference was that there were countless torches on the hill here, almost lighting up the entire hill red.
Therefore, Su Rong was able to see the scene above.
On the mountain, someone was using ropes to pull people one by one into a deep pit and burying them alive.
They were really buried alive. These people had their hands tied like the children before, and were tied up like piglets.
The difference is that these people are all elderly, and most of them are hunched over.
Su Rong couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.
He originally thought that the scene in the ancestral hall was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there were far more than one outrageous thing.
These people kidnapped so many children, demanded their blood for unknown purposes, and then buried so many elderly people alive in the middle of the night.
What on earth are they going to do?!
The wind made the trees on the mountain rustle, but even though they were going to die, no one on the mountain resisted. There were only faint sounds of crying.
The crying was so suppressed and desperate that it made Su Rong's scalp numb and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
During the war, he felt that he had seen countless tragic scenes, but the scene before him still made him feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.
This process lasted for a very long time, and no one knew how long it was before He Chaoyan reached out and pulled him again, and then turned around and went back to the alley.
Su Rong looked back and saw that those people had finished their work. Who would have thought that a huge pit was dug in the middle of the night on this ordinary mountain, and that there were so many bodies in the pit
Su Rong felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, and the stone made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He followed behind Pansy Ho in silence all the way back to the restaurant.
The sky was almost turning pale, and He Chaoyan lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
Su Rong couldn't sleep, so he sat on the couch and looked out the window. He waited until it was completely light and he heard voices outside before he got up.
He Chaoyan had also gotten up. This time, He Chaoyan did not stay any longer. After eating breakfast, she took Su Rong out of the town.
By the time they got on their horses again, it was already noon. He Chaoyan was riding in the front. She rode a long way until she was almost approaching the military camp before she stopped and dismounted.
Su Rong also dismounted.
"My uncle must have a lot of things to ask me, right?"
He Chaoyan smiled, took a deep breath, and said, "Things are just as you see. Why can't we leave Yongchang Prefecture under the control of those Miao people?"
