Chapter 36: Selfishness in a Different Sense
At this time, Xinmu Town, which was in chaos and panic, was filled with angry scolding and shouting, and the doors of every household in the town were almost wide open, and many members of the black-blooded mercenary group with fierce faces coming in and out were carrying large bags and small bags, and all the things that seemed to be valuable, no!

The crying townsfolk stand in stark contrast to the mercenaries who are smiling and abusive.
At the same time, several big men of the Black Blood Mercenary Regiment are leading a group of men and women who look like walking corpses to a clearing at the back of the town.
These people, who looked as if they had lost their souls, were tied together one by one by ropes as thick as the arms of babies, and they had no intention of covering their bodies, they were just driven by the whipping of those big men, and they moved slowly.
From time to time, the townspeople of Xinmu Town, who were crying and crying, were also driven to this clearing, and soon this space was not very large, and suddenly it became crowded, and around them were the minions of the Black Blood Mercenary Regiment, as if looking at the eyes of beasts.
Looking at all this with satisfaction, Badong, the think tank of the mercenary group, was standing on a temporary and simple stand, and the cruel and bloodthirsty ridicule that flowed from the corners of his mouth was not concealed, "This is the feeling of overlooking everything, hehe." ”
……
At this moment when the situation was becoming more and more critical, in an inconspicuous abandoned mine cave in the northwest corner of Xinmu Town, a group of angry people were shouting at a young woman with a frowning brow, but the woman standing in the middle of the crowd did not respond, only a few extremely anxious men who were tightly guarding her were arguing with those excited people about something.
"Weili, it's all this time, what are you still hesitating, didn't you gather everyone to rebel against that brute of Mir, why don't you speak now, everyone is waiting for your order. The man dressed as a farmer with a thick beard was anxiously shouting to the silent woman, "The Black Blood Mercenary Group has already begun to move, it seems that they are going to attack us, you must know that my son is still inside! ”
"Muru, don't get excited, Willy is more anxious than anyone else now, but it doesn't make sense for you to be like this now! Let's let Willy think about countermeasures quietly. The young man closest to Willy was still trying to calm the crowd that was close to exploding.
"Ankeley, what qualifications do you have to speak here, and Willy, it's all because of you. If you hadn't had to ask the Hero Association for help and invite that useless hero, we wouldn't have become like this now, maybe that guy Mir would have left here and our home after the agreed deadline was up, and in that case, no matter how hard the days were, everyone would have a hope, not like now, everyone is going to die here, it's all your fault. ”
"Aunt Marcy is right, it's all your own initiative that brought us such a crisis, and I told you a long time ago not to involve the Hero Association, but you just didn't listen, so you must take responsibility now. ”
"Why don't we go and apologize to Captain Mir, he will definitely forgive us, after all, the mercenary group still needs us. ”
"Well, that's it, maybe Lord Mir will let us go, although everyone has had a hard time during this time, but now that I think about it, my lord, he is not harsh on us to that extent, as long as we are obedient, wholeheartedly help the mercenary group deal with those outsiders, and even have a reward to take. ”
"Anyway, what do those slaves have to do with us, do you want to take us all to hell for the sake of your compassion? ”
After the scathing-looking middle-aged woman complained, there were many echoing voices with the same idea one after another, and soon the idea of shirking responsibility spread to the crowd and became the mainstream here. And their words are becoming more explicit and radical.
Surrounded by the crowd, Ankeley's whole face was choked red, and the few people who were still standing firmly beside Wei Li at the moment did not know how to refute the accusations of the townspeople, and they could only use weak words that were not convincing, and carried out weak resistance.
Just as these increasingly agitated townsfolk were about to lose control of their actions.
Being at the center of the storm, the woman who looked particularly delicate and helpless finally made a move, "Everyone!" I saw Wei Li push away, and the Ankeley people who were blocking in front of her slowly walked into the middle of the townspeople with distorted faces and red eyes, "I understand everyone's feelings, because I was also born and raised here, and my feelings for this place are no less than any of you. ”
Every time Willy said a word, the people around her took a step back, "Uncle Muru, you grew up watching me, and your son and I also crawled out of a mud pit, Aunt Marsie, remember when I was the child king, we caught the mayor's pets and stewed them, or did you take the lead in protecting us from the mayor's punishment, and you Henry, when we went hunting in the mountains together, you also helped me block the impact of the black porcupine...... I remember the kindness of all of you, these are my most precious memories, and without them there would be no Willy. ”
Willy's words gradually quieted down the irritable crowd, their eyes were ashamed, looking at Willy unnaturally, but in their hearts they were recalling those memories shared by everyone, some beautiful and some painful, but it was undeniable that these memories were an indispensable part of their lives.
Seeing that everyone gradually calmed down, Wei Li was also relieved, after all, everyone was the person she cherished the most, and she couldn't forgive herself if anyone was hurt.
It's just that not everyone lives in memories, and for some people, as long as they and their families are doing well, it doesn't matter what others do. Willy, since we are kind to you, it is time for you to repay us for this, my brother and family may die at any time. I was scared that I didn't know how to live if they weren't there. Willy, uncle is here to beg you, don't resist anymore, let's go and beg Captain Mir together, and then maybe the Captain will spare us for our hard work, right? Willy!"
"What are you talking about, Suter!" Ankeley heard this, angrily stepped forward and grabbed the man who said this, and raised his fist at the same time.
However, Ankeley, who was furious, was stopped by Willy.
The man who said innocent words, but at the moment his face was full of snot and tears, and he couldn't even say the whole thing, and now he just stared at the girl in front of him with pleading and guilty eyes, and at the same time kept repeating in his mouth: "Please, please..."
Everyone present was silent, they all had their own relatives and friends, and now their lives were threatened, and at this moment these people had nothing on their minds except apathy and helplessness.
Willy bit her lip as she watched as the hopeless townsfolk felt overwhelmed by the burden they could not bear on her thin shoulders as they faced the Black Blood Mercenary Regiment, which they simply couldn't resist.
Ankeley, who was on the side, found Wei Li who was a little shaken, and angrily walked to her side and roared in a low voice: "Look! This is the guy you want to protect, they are selfish, they only think about themselves, they completely disregard the lives of others, in order to escape the responsibility of the hero's failure to pursue the black blood mercenary group, they don't care about your life or death at all! This is not the first time, your brother Wade, isn't it because of these people that he died." ”
The more Ankeley spoke, the more excited he became, he pulled Willy's body in front of him, and the green veins on his forehead loomed, "Speaking of which, these people are also your enemies, isn't Wade the person you should protect! They should have died long ago when they were in the same league as the Black Blood Mercenary Regiment. ”
Saying that, Ankeley forcibly took Willy's hand and wanted to take her away, "Let's go, these people are not worth your everything to save them, you don't owe them anything at all." Leave here with me, and live with your brother's share at the same time. ”
However, before she could take two steps with Willy, the woman shook off Ankeley's hand vigorously, she shook her head firmly, and then turned her gaze to those who were still stunned, and said to Ankeli with complicated eyes, "Anker, what you said is right, but it's not right, people are selfish, we are actually no different from them in this regard, everyone has their own difficulties, and their actions cannot be measured by simple right and wrong, I must save them, who makes me the only person here who has the ability to do this." ”
As she spoke, she pushed Ankeley away vigorously, "You go, there is no need to follow me into the muddy pool of mortality, take those who are willing to leave with you." I can't stop, and the next thing has nothing to do with you, I don't want to bother you. A poignant and resolute smile appeared on Willy's face, this was probably the last smile of this young girl, and it was so beautiful that the world was overshadowed.
"Willy!" Ankeley, unable to understand, wanted to say something, but the person he was trying to persuade had already turned back into the crowd.
