417. Chapter 118
Yintao and Si Yu were at an impasse.
The woman who blocked the door was like a "leader" among them, and the women in the prison did not move any more.
"Girl, there is at least a glimmer of life outside, you can live on your own," Yintao said, "and what is the point of staying here and living like a walking corpse?"
The woman said: "Although these people have done a lot of evil, and I hate them to the core, but they can be regarded as feeding us, even if we go with us, will there be fewer wicked people outside? β
As time passed, Yin Tao knew that the fire he had set up was only thick smoke, and it was not difficult to extinguish it.
"At least most of you have other relatives...... You can go to them......" He has a lot of ideas in his head, but he can't deal with stubborn women.
"This sister is really selfish to the extreme," Si Yu opened her mouth, "Most of the mountain bandits here are the enemies of your sisters who killed their fathers and mothers, but they did not spare your lives out of pity and self-blame, but to restrict your sisters' freedom and become a tool for them to vent their desires. It is true that there is no security in the work after escaping from here, and it is true that you may starve and freeze and wander all over the world, but at least you can decide your own destiny and choose the person to accompany you for the rest of your life. My sister just said that she hated them to the core, so what is the difference between what she is doing now and them? Blocking the door with her body determines the lives of others. β
Si Yu's words made the woman shake a little.
"We can't guarantee that you will be better off after you leave, but at least we can guarantee that you will live more like your parents want, more like an ordinary woman, more alone," Si Yu continued, "We don't force you, if there are people who don't want to leave, then stay, but don't force others to be like yourself." β
After Si Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Yin Tao with disdain.
After a moment of silence, many young girls chimed in: "This little sister is right! I would rather die than be fed by these people!"
"They make me sick!"
"Young man, please take us out of here!"
At least half of the girls in prison were determined to leave.
The woman was slightly stunned when she saw this, but she let go.
Si Yu opened the cell door, but not all the girls came out.
A few older women remained unmoved, and their eyes were glazed.
"Please take them out of the village safely," the woman said, closing the door again, "Sisters, you must live well after leaving......
"Aren't you leaving?" said Yintao.
"As you say, no one wants to be dominated by others, but now these sisters have been locked up here for more than ten years," the woman said quietly, "they have long lost their appearance and youth, what is the outside world, what can they do when they go out, they have not caught the slightest bit, even if there are other relatives alive in the world, what kind of attitude do they have to face them? β
Yintao turned his eyes to look at Si Yu, hoping that she could say something more, but Si Yu shook his head.
"Girl, won't you leave then?" Yintao had no time to delay, so he could only think of saving one more.
"You've taken so many young women with you, and if they come back, you don't know what you'll do to them," the woman paused and said, "I'll at least... I can take care of them..."
"Sister Liu, you can also go with us-"
Many of the girls had red eyes.
"When I was first caught here, it was because of the care of these sisters that I was able to survive......"
Si Yu patted Yintao's shoulder and reminded, "The fire you set seems to be about to be controlled. β
"Well, take care of that girl. β
The woman bowed to her "sisters": "Sisters, farewellβ"
Without waiting for anyone, Yintao finally took the crying women out of the cell, and a large group of people bowed over, touched the road full of smoke, and quickly looked for the outside of the village.
Fortunately, the fire burned long enough, and I didn't encounter a single mountain bandit along the way.
"Do you know why I helped you?" the two led the way in front, and Si Yu suddenly asked.
"It's because adults have chivalrous spirit in their hearts. β
Si Yu laughed: "What the hell is that? I'm not chivalrous, it's something that you people talk about and deceive yourself." β
"Then the lord is to ensure that he can kill Zai Xia with his own hands and not let Zai Xia die at the hands of others?"
"Well, there are some reasons for that, but," said Si Yu, "the main thing is that you act like a womanβa woman I admire, who has been whispering in my ear that you want to do something similar, and you do. β
"Oh. β
"She'd be happy if she knew what I was doing today, so after all, I'm not helping you, you know?"
"If this woman can teach adults to distinguish between right and wrong, it will be better. β
Si Yu smiled playfully and didn't speak again. They had successfully escaped from the cave, which stretched just below the mountain stream, all the way out.
"Well, follow this direction all the way and you will reach the official road," Si Yu said to the girls, "but you had better spread out, lest you run into the bandits who have returned from the robbery." β
"Thank you Shaoxia, heroine, great kindness, if the slave family can't repay it in this life, it will be rewarded in the next life!"
For them, the joy and gratitude of seeing light and freedom again is indescribable.
Yintao watched those girls leave the mountain stream, and was about to talk to Si Yu in a blink of an eye, when he suddenly felt a warm heart, and before he could see it clearly, he fell into darkness.
