Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wind Fall Village, a once quiet and peaceful place, was now tainted with blood . The thick smell of death reeked throughout the entire village .
This was what Gu Ruoyun saw the very moment she entered Wind Fall Village . . .
The bodies of countless familiar-looking villagers were lying on the muddy ground . The earth beneath them was soaked in blood and the thick, metallic smell filled the air . These villagers had entertained her enthusiastically and full of vitality not so very long ago .
However, she could no longer see their simple and honest smiles . All that was left in its place was the dull color of dead ashes .
"I've only been away for a few days . What on earth happened here? Who killed them?"
Gu Ruoyun stumbled and her voice trembled as she asked .
She then noticed a small, deathly pale and freckled face in a pool of blood . However, that little face could no longer display her innocent and lively smile . All that remains was a pair of dull, wide-opened eyes as if she had died with an unresolved grievance .
Gu Ruoyun reached out her hand and gently placed it on the little maiden's eyelids, closing them .
. . .
"Nian Ye, do you know that my dream is to become a great doctor? I want to heal the sick and wounded! I even want to be able to snatch the life of a dying person from the clutches of the King of Hell!"
"Nian Ye, will you come back?"
"Really? Then let's pinky swear . You're not allowed to lie to me . "
. . .
Gu Ruoyun slowly closed her eyes . After a long pause, she opened them again and turned towards the little maiden in the pool of blood . She murmured, "Xiao Yu, I've returned . Unfortunately, I had been too late but don't you worry, I won't let the culprits who had butchered the village get away with this no matter who they were!"
"Nian Ye . . . "
Just as Gu Ruoyun was rising to her feet, a frail voice called out from behind her, causing her body to stiffen . She hurriedly tried to find the source of the voice amongst the bodies .
"Nian Ye . . . "
The frail voice cried out once again . Gu Ruoyun finally managed to locate the person who had been crying out to her .
"Auntie Hua . "
Gu Ruoyun rushed to Auntie Hua's side and helped her up . "You're still alive?" she exclaimed, "I have medicine . Swallow this quickly . "
"No . " Auntie Hua shook her head . Her entire body was drenched in blood and her voice was weak as she continued, "My body . . . I know it myself . There's no use . . . Only . . . Only, I never thought that I'd be able to hold on until your return . "
"Auntie Hua . . . " Gu Ruoyun's heart trembled fiercely . She tried to speak but Auntie Hua cut her off .
"Nian Ye, those people . . . Those people had come here to find you . I think I heard something about . . . About some Lin family . "
Auntie Hua had to gasp for breath with every word that she spoke yet she persisted . She was determined to finish what she needed to say .
The Lin family!
Boom!
A fiery rage immediately ignited within Gu Ruoyun's heart . It was a raging flame that could destroy the heavens and earth .
She never thought that the Lin family would be the ones responsible for destroying Wind Fall Village!
"Nian Ye . . . " Auntie Hua saw the overflowing fury on Gu Ruoyun's face along with her guilt and remorse as she muttered weakly, "You're a good person . We don't blame you . I . . . We only blame those cruel people . Previously, if it had not been for you . . . Perhaps, perhaps, we would not have been able to destroy those bandits and we wouldn't have enjoyed those few peaceful days . . . So, we don't blame you . "
"Auntie Hua! Eat this pill, perhaps you'll live, I . . . "
"Really . . . There's really no need . " Auntie Hua shook her head as her voice grew weaker and weaker as if it would disappear at any moment . "My family, friends . . . And fellow villagers are all gone . Even if I can be saved, I don't want to be saved . Nian Ye, you are a good and kind child . We, the people of Wind Fall Village . . . Don't blame you . "
