He Ming held his forehead with his hand and tilted his head to look over, this was an elder-level figure who had been in the village for half a year and was not impressed, and had very little contact with others, as if he was an elder-level figure who was responsible for imparting knowledge to the children in the village.

I don't know why, starting from the depths of his heart, He Ming was reluctant to be rude to people engaged in this profession, so he let go of the irrepressible killing intent in his body, and said to her with some hesitation:

"Ma'am, do you really understand how the people I'm dealing with will be treated? If you don't get involved too deeply, you'd better not get involved. ”

The older woman rubbed her forehead, shook her head, and said very calmly, "Aria actually raised someone else to cover me, and you cut this hand and left it here, I don't know what you will do?" To tell you the truth, the matter of dealing with Ima, it was all planned by me, Aisha! You have no reason to go to other people's troubles. ”

He Ming said: "If I remember correctly, you are an elder in the village who is responsible for teaching girls knowledge, you are not talented, and you have also taught many swordsmanship, so you must have a good reputation." If you can promise that you will not change your mind when you come to Imma, and to tell you the truth, I vouch for it in my honor that I will never hurt anyone else. ”

"I don't care about the reputation of people like you," said Aisher. But at this point, I am not so shameless and continue to make up lies. It's up to you to decide what you're going to do in the end, so let's go. ”

He Ming took a deep breath with some boredom and said, "You and Ayid come here, and the others can come if they want, don't force it!" ”

After speaking, he went out directly to lead the way, and he was not afraid of what tricks these two would play again.

Aisha didn't make any other superfluous movements, Ayid covered his fingers and followed He Ming silently, and the other two people in the party also followed behind them, without saying a word.

The cold winter rolled over, accompanied by a thick layer of ice, and the ground could be slippery with a slightly heavier footsteps, and the five of them walked towards the prison like ghosts in the moonless night, and the cold wind seemed to blow directly through the clothes into the hearts of the people.

More than a dozen guards were still standing at the door of the cell, and they had already forgotten their fatigue after a day of running around for a day, and they were numbly guarding here, not knowing He Ming's intentions.

Seeing the four Aisha people following behind He Ming, even the most angry guard showed a shocked look on his face, and asked with his eyes why He Ming had brought them. But He Ming didn't intend to get to the point immediately, he said to the guard at the door slowly:

"Come on, please go in and call out everyone in the cellar except Arria, including Ima, I have something to say."

Although they didn't understand his intentions, these guards still obeyed He Ming, the head of the swordsmanship, and never asked more, she nodded and walked into the prison without saying a word.

After a while, Ye Zilan was in front, Sophia and Amir helped Irma to walk in the middle and walked in the middle, Dawa, Ruyue Ying and Qing Shui walked out of the door behind, looking at He Ming and the people he brought, they also didn't understand what he meant.

Under the weak light of the prison, Aisha saw clearly the huge changes in Ima in the past few days, and an involuntary emotion surged up, Rao was planning all this with her own hands, and she couldn't see Imma's appearance and was indifferent.

He Ming took a step to the side, let the two groups of people look at each other, and said to Aisha in a flat tone:

"The rest is none of my business, and although you don't care about my reputation, I still respect your reputation very much. I hope you can talk the talk. ”

Aisha slowly approached Ima, her eyes were so complicated, but it didn't affect the fact that her face was still the same as in this frozen world, this strange situation made them wary, Sophia came up and reached out to stop her:

"Isha, forgive me for being rude, I can't let you get near Ima!"

Aisha said to Ima in a choked throat through these people: "Child, I am really sad that you have become like this, you have never been a bad-hearted person, why do you have to take this step?" ”

Ima raised her eyes and swept over her, and said weakly, "So in the end you are against me?" It doesn't matter anymore. Forget it, everyone, I'm tired, let me rest. ”

Sophia was anxious when she heard this: "How can you just forget it?" Even if we don't care, we must figure out the ins and outs of this matter! At the very least, prove that Ima is not a heinous sinner! ”

"Rest assured, the children of the whole village were once my students, I taught them literacy, morality and history, and now I do things against my conscience, and it is enough," Aisher said. I can't let her be wronged anymore. ”

He Ming said: "Plug in, the so-called children of the whole village do not include boys." To tell you the truth, as far as I'm concerned, no matter how bad your conscience is, you can't compare to the viciousness of this sentence. ”

Ayisha was frustrated, and said generously: "You are not from this village, and I will never refute your understanding. From the time when Ima was determined to break with tradition and change the habits of the village, I was resolutely prepared to stop her.

"But she did a good job, and most people couldn't see the hidden dangers in these things, and I couldn't even find a flaw to sabotage her arrangement, so in the end, I had to create mistakes and crimes for her to solve this reckless change."

Emile obviously couldn't understand what she meant: "But after all this time, why do you have to stop her?" After all this effort, everything is going in a good direction, why do you need to do it? ”

Aisha said: "In the history of Cangyue Village, there is not only one such action by Imma. I could go into enough detail to tell you every little detail of each time, but all of them have been disaster. Even the most successful one, after the death of the captain of the guard, the successor had a big problem.

"Our ancestors summarized the process and reasons for the failure of many changes, and finally came to the conclusion that people cannot get rid of the shackles of primitive desires, and can only maintain stable unity when materials are just right or insufficient, and too many materials will cause people to degenerate instinctively.

"This is the basis of the stability system in our village for nearly 200 years, careful planning of the distribution of local resources and labor, so that weak men can withdraw from work, reduce the ability to produce materials, to maintain the stability of the village, as everyone can see, our village is stable and peaceful to this day."

Sophia was dumbfounded for a long time before she said, "It is on this basis that your request for opposition to change was not accepted by us, and you completely violated the traditions and morals you adhered to, and framed and overthrew Lord Ima?" ”

"The slightest problem can easily stop this change, with my prestige in the village and the fact that most people have called me a teacher," Aisher said. However, the change was so successful, and the fact that Ima's was truly admirable, I couldn't make excuses.

"So as a last resort, I took advantage of some people in the village who were clearly dissatisfied with the new system to create some stains on Ima, and used my prestige to incite the whole village through the rumors I spread."

Sophia's eyes flickered, tears rolled in her eyes, she looked at Aisha and said, "So you will not hesitate to ruin your reputation and violate your conscience to stop this change, but I still don't understand why you are so resolute?" ”

"Children, you are too young to understand the darkness hidden in human nature. And I have responsibilities that I must uphold, and apart from that, I am not worth mentioning at all, and there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. ”

For a while, all the people in Cangyue Village were quiet, and they looked like ice sculptures outside the frozen prison here.

After a long time, the moon shadow spoke: "Alas, Ima seems to have resigned herself to her fate. But I'm asking you, O Aishe, how many percent of the people in the village are really opposed to change? Secondly, you can ask Sophia and them, can the tradition here really continue? ”

Aisher's eyes were firm, and he said in a cold tone:

"There is no need to ask, not many people have the determination to maintain their hearts after receiving benefits, so there are not many people who really oppose it. But even if I'm the only one left, I'm going to have to keep the tradition going. We have been at peace for hundreds of years, as long as we maintain it and not be destroyed by ignorant and arrogant ideas, it is the only way for Cangyue Village to continue! ”

Sophia looked trembling, no one knew how she was feeling at this moment, but this unhesitating tone obviously infected the people here, including Amir, Ayid, and even Ima, and no one could blame her as a person.

It took a long time for Sophia to come out of this atmosphere, and then with a wave of her hand, she led all the guards who had gone out to the Bone Demon Cave and said to Aishe:

"Teacher, please listen to me, we people, including outsiders, have not experienced this revolution to open the evil spirit mine, updated equipment and tactics, one is one, and one cannot come back, and every word you say is more chilling to us than to kill us with a knife yourself."

"This is your problem," said Ayisha, "and is it not that it is Imma's arbitrariness and opposition, in spite of opposition, that has left her an excuse to be overthrown?" ”

There should be a conclusion to this argument, and Qing Shui couldn't help but come up to her and say to her:

"Madam, please forgive me for my arrogant remark that you are highly morally respectable, and you can barely be called a contemptible one, but your vision is indeed too short-sighted, and if you can look a little outside the village, you will understand that the peace of this village is much more fragile than a hair."

Aisha said: "That is also the disaster brought by you outsiders, why have we spent hundreds of years in peace and tranquility, and you can bring so many crises and disasters as soon as you appear?" Shouldn't you reflect on yourselves, but take pride in getting the innocent involved? ”
