Chapter 36 Misunderstanding Cleared Up
Chapter 36 Misunderstanding Cleared Up
After freezing all the middle-aged men, the Hilichurls angrily followed the Hilichurls and surrounded them.
The middle-aged people were unable to move at this moment, and could only stare at the Hilichurls around them with horrified and fearful eyes.
Hilichurls are truly terrifying!
Goodbye, my dear aunts, uncles, and maternal aunts!
However, just when they thought they were in grave danger, the Hilichurls simply carried Silver away without attacking them.
The group could only watch helplessly as the animals took their elder brother away.
the other side.
"Let me go."
A stubborn voice came from beside Ah Zong.
"They didn't do anything bad..."
As she spoke, Qiqi's voice grew increasingly low.
When Ah Zong heard this, he thought that Qi Qi was crying because she felt wronged.
He already doted on his daughter terribly, and the thing he couldn't bear to hear was a child crying.
Hearing Qiqi say this, he wavered in his mind.
"How can the eldest brother know who the murderer is if he only found the younger brother's body?"
Ah Zong muttered to himself, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Qiqi was hanging her head and looking listless, Ah Zong couldn't make up his mind and could only comfort her first.
"Little girl, don't cry. How can you say they are good people?"
Why don't they hurt me?
Qiqi offered no explanation, simply staring blankly at Ah Zong.
"..."
Ah Zong was speechless for a moment after Qi Qi's question, and had no answer.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you back and find out the truth."
Ah Zong sighed and decided to go to the place where his younger brother was killed to observe it in person.
The grassland outside the Hilichurl camp.
The frozen people soon had their ice melt under the sun.
After regaining their mobility, the group hurriedly scattered to search for the lost weapons, hoping to retrieve them and rescue their leader.
"Third Brother, all our weapons are broken..."
A middle-aged man helplessly covered his head and reported what he had discovered in a low voice.
"What...? Then let's get closer to the camp and wait for an opportunity to rescue our brother, sigh!"
In the Hilichurl camp.
"Ah! Don't come near me! If you have the guts, let me go, and I'll definitely avenge my brother!"
Ah Yin swung her fist, but it lacked any real power.
After all, the surrounding area was full of seemingly fierce Hilichurls!
"Hey... brothers, please let me go home! I have an eight-year-old mother and sixty-year-old children to support; they can't live without me!"
Seeing that force wouldn't work, Silver had to resort to a softer approach. However, the speed at which he backed down would surely put Paimon to shame.
However, the Hilichurls couldn't understand what this guy was chattering about. They were just temporarily guarding the culprit who had harmed their leader, and they would only act when their leader gave the order.
Inside the tent lay the weakened King Chulich.
King Chuchu moved his lips and slightly raised his arm, but he couldn't muster any strength.
"La...ta, lata...! (Water...water!)"
Hearing their leader's call, the Hilichurl guarding the door hurriedly ran to fetch water.
This scene was clearly seen by the middle-aged people lying on the hillside outside the camp.
"Third Brother, as the saying goes, to catch a thief, first catch the king. It seems their leader's tent is unguarded. I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to rescue our eldest brother!"
"Hey, Fourth Brother, you usually can't even do basic math right, how come you're so smart today? We'll listen to you! Let's be careful and not disturb the patrolling Hilichurls."
Just as they were about to get up, a slap suddenly landed hard on the third brother's shoulder.
"Ah! Where did this ghost come from?!" The third brother was startled and almost tumbled down the hillside.
However, when they turned around, it was their second brother, Ah Zong, who had returned.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
"Second brother, I'm planning to take fourth brother and sneak into the large tent of the Hilichurl camp to rescue eldest brother by taking the Hilichurl King hostage!"
"No need. I think we misunderstood these Hilichurls. There's a family not far from where my brother was killed; they told me the whole truth!"
Half an hour ago.
"Was this where my brother was killed?"
Ah Zong muttered to himself as he observed the shocking bloodstains on the ground.
"Young man, why have you suffered such a... cruel fate!"
After saying that, Ah Zong could no longer hold back and tears streamed down his face.
"There's a house over there."
Ignoring Ah Zong's sadness, Qi Qi looked around, tugged at Ah Zong's sleeve, and pointed into the distance.
Seeing that there were people around, Ah Zong decided to give it a try and ask them what was going on.
"Hello! Is anyone home?" Ah Zong knocked on a door and then politely inquired.
"Hello, how can I help you?" An elderly woman came out, followed by a middle-aged woman.
"Did you see my younger brother around here this morning?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's expression froze, and she hesitantly walked in front of the old woman.
“This morning, my husband and I did see a person.”
"This morning, we went out to fetch water when we saw groups of Hilichurls carrying water back to camp. So we hid at home to observe the situation, and only dared to go out again after they were out of sight. Just then, we heard a cry for help coming from the distant wasteland. Looking in the direction of the sound, we saw a figure being chased by several bloodhounds in the wilderness, fleeing in a sorry state. We were powerless to save him, and could only pray for his safety from afar. But he was still pounced on by the bloodhounds, and the next second, he was bleeding profusely. At that moment, the Hilichurls put down their buckets and rushed over, desperately chasing away the bloodhounds. Several Hilichurls were also injured and bleeding. But that person wasn't so lucky; he lost too much blood and fainted... Alas! What a poor life! As soon as the Hilichurls left, a silver-haired man ran over, holding the body and weeping. We didn't dare to interfere in other people's affairs, so we didn't take it to heart. Alas... my condolences!"
After hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Ah Zong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He staggered and almost knelt down.
Without time to think, Ah Zong forcibly suppressed his emotions, grabbed Qi Qi, and turned to run away.
Back to reality.
After Ah-Zong finished recounting everything, he continued to add to the story.
"So, we accidentally injured the leader of the Hilichurls! They risked their lives to help us drive away the Bloodhounds, and we come to seek revenge? Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?!"
"I told you, they are not bad people!"
Qiqi put her hands on her hips with a haughty air and showed a resentful expression.
