Chapter 655: Want To Leave This Place
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Dahe had just returned to the Tiger Base with the seeds when he saw many villagers blocking the entrance of his house.
He looked up at the sun. Logically speaking, everyone should be working outside at this hour. Why did they all come to his place?
“Village Chief, Village Chief, you have to uphold justice for my son.”
As soon as Zhao Dahe walked over, the villagers rushed to him, crying and wailing.
“What’s going on? Did something happen?”
Zhang Dong’s mother howled the loudest. After her son was taken out by the black-robed men, she did not know if he was dead or alive. She wanted to go after him, but she was stopped by the black-robed men. She was so angry that she was about to fall ill.
“Village Chief, those people in black clothes are not human. They treat us like slaves and don’t take our lives seriously at all. My son Dong was just tired and wanted to take a breather. In the end, he was beaten up and killed by them!”
Zhao Dahe was shocked when he heard that. After spending some time with the black-robed men, he was a little afraid of them. However, he realized that as long as they did their job responsibly, those people would not do anything to them. They would treat those black-robed men as officials in charge.
-Is there some misunderstanding? Where’s Zhang Dong? Who knows what’s going on? Tell me about it in detail.”
Some of the villagers who had witnessed the entire incident stepped forward and told Zhao Dahe what happened.
After listening, Zhao Dahe’s brows knitted so tightly that a Roman numeral III was formed.
Zhang Dong and his gang were not easy to deal with. Why did they have to cause trouble?
However, if the black-robed men beat and killed them and then threw them out because of this, they would have gone a little overboard.
“Where are they now? Have they been sent away?
“They have been sent away. We were worried that something might really happen so we wanted to follow them, but we were stopped.
Zhao Dahe felt that Zhang Dong and the others were guilty, but they did not deserve to die. If the black-robed men were to take their lives so wantonly, how could he feel at ease to let them stay in this place?
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll go and ask them what’s going on.
The villagers seemed to have found their pillar of support after Zhao Dahe returned. They followed him to look for the Black Guardian.
“Black Guardian, pardon me for interrupting you.”
The Black Guardian looked at Zhao Dahe without any emotion. “What’s the matter?”
Zhao Dahe smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious. I just wanted to ask about some misunderstanding that happened a while ago. It’s about Zhang Dong and his companions. May I know where you have taken them, Black Guardian? Those few brats are indeed bastards. They were disobedient in the past. It’s my fault that I didn’t discipline them properly. I have to admit my mistake to you, Black Guardian. Can I trouble you to hand them back to me? I will definitely give you an answer later, Black Guardian.”
“They have been thrown out of the northern wilderness. They are not allowed
to step foot in here ever again.”
Zhao Dahe’s expression froze. “This… They were indeed in the wrong, but isn’t this punishment a little too harsh?”
The Black Guardian did not agree with this statement. “They attacked the black-robed men and slandered them. They refused to be disciplined. Just throwing them out is already merciful.
“But…”
“No buts. If you’re unhappy, you can go to Sky Alpha City to seek justice from the City Lord.”
Zhao Dahe thought of the towering city he saw when he went to collect the seeds. Just looking at it was enough to make him shudder. He might not be able to get in if he went alone to complain.
“Black Guardian, we will be living here for a long time after all. If you guys are so tyrannical, I am worried that the villagers will resent you.”
The Black Guardian looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What’s there to be resentful about when you’re punished for doing something wrong?
Zhao Dahe was stumped. When he realized that he could not get through to the Black Guardian, he could only take a step back. “We have nothing to say if they are not allowed to come back. However, Black Guardian, can you let our people check on them? They’re the villagers’ family members after all.”
“Yes, but once they leave, they can’t come back anymore.” Zhao Dahe was getting a little angry. He was angry at the Black Guardian for being so heartless.
Those who understood the background story would probably laugh in disdain if they knew what Zhao Dahe was thinking. These black-robed men were not even human in the past, so why would they care about being heartless?
Zhao Dahe walked out of the Black Guardian’s place, and the villagers who were waiting outside swarmed around him.
“Village Chief, how is it? Are my son Dong and the others alright? Can we go look for them and bring them back?”
Zhao Dahe waved his hand and signaled for them to go back first.
Once he returned home, Zhao Dahe was surrounded by the villagers.
“Village Chief…”
“Alright. All of you listen to me.” Zhao Dahe interrupted their chattering impatiently.
Everyone quieted down and shifted their gaze to Zhao Dahe.
“There’s nothing we can do about this. They have already been thrown outside. If you’re still worried and want to go out and look for them, you won’t be able to come back after you leave. You guys think about it carefully.
Everyone exploded after hearing Zhao Dahe s words.
-What is the meaning of this? Even in the Nan State, we didn’t have to be beheaded every time for committing a crime. How did things turn out like this here? Village Chief, this place doesn’t plan to let us settle down and live a good life at all. It’s treating us as free labor and giving us a few rotten sweet potatoes a day to pacify us.”
“If such a thing happens again in the future, will we only be waiting for death?” The more they talked, the more upset they became. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They had completely forgotten how they had survived when they were about to starve to death.
“Village Chief, are we going to continue like this? What can they do if we leave? Didn’t they allow us to go out and look for them? Then we’ll go. We’ll go back right away, back to the Nan State.”
“That’s right. Let’s go. We’ll leave this place. We won’t let them use us for free.” Zhao Dahe’s brows furrowed. Compared to this place, the place he grew up in felt more like a home, naturally.
However, Su Ying had also made it clear when they decided to stay that they could not leave so easily. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences. “Those people don’t look like they’re to be trifled with. If we leave, we can’t do it rashly. This decision can’t be made by a few people. If we really want to leave, we’ll leave together. I’ll discuss it with the elders in the village later. Don’t be anxious and don’t cause trouble again. They really will kill people.”
“As long as we can leave this place, it doesn’t matter if we endure for a few days.”
Zhao Dahe could not decide right now, so he told them to go back to work first and not reveal any of their intentions.
After the villagers left, Zhao Dahe’s son walked in from outside.
“Father, do you really want to leave this place? Let’s not talk about those people who don’t look like they can be trifled with. Actually, this place isn’t bad. Anyway, we’re still living in the village back in the Nan State, so it’s no different from here. If we really leave, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”
Zhao Dahe gave a sigh. “Zhang Dong and the others may be hoodlums, but what they have done does not warrant taking their lives. These people are too ruthless. If we go against their wishes in the future, will they take our lives as well?”
His son couldn’t answer this question, but he also felt that if they really left, none of them would end up well.
“Let Father think about this matter carefully. I need to think over carefully..’
