Although all the hidden criminals have been captured, due to mutual suspicion among relatives and friends for more than a month in the process, even if the consul officially announced that the case was over, it would be difficult for the villagers to return to the way they were before in a short time. .
This is not to say that mutual suspicion still exists, nor is it that everyone has become enemies due to suspicion, but after the incident is over, many people find that they actually had doubts about their friends, acquaintances, and relatives during that time.
Everyone is guilty of this suspicion, which creates barriers to communication.
In the early days of the village's reconstruction, a similar situation occurred.
As this area gradually prospered and everyone got along for a long time, this distrust gradually disappeared. The people who lived here thought that such doubts would disappear and withstand the test, and they were often very proud of this in their previous chats, but the facts showed that this was not the case.
This leaves everyone wondering how to face their relatives and friends.
"It's not their fault!"
Wright felt annoyed when he saw the brightly lit village, where no one was talking or laughing, and where sobbing could occasionally be heard.
"It's those bastards! No matter how similar they pretend to be, they still make everyone who sincerely treat each other instinctively feel abnormal, so they have such thoughts!"
I have to think of something.
Wright bit his nails and thought.
"By the way, a bonfire party, a bonfire party that everyone can participate in... We need a speech to help everyone open their hearts, and maybe some programs..."
Seeing Wright thinking about countermeasures for the villagers like crazy, Froya looked at Xiaoyue helplessly.
She believed that the most important thing was to rush back to the imperial capital and resolve the impending crisis in the empire as soon as possible, but she could not fault Wright's behavior.
As time goes by, the estrangement between villagers will most likely be eliminated, but misunderstandings may gradually deepen and evolve into a situation that no one wants to see.
It cannot be said that Wright was wrong in wanting to solve this hidden danger.
"Let's wait for a few days." Xiaoyue saw Wright's eyes light up, "He is not like a person who loses the big for the small, so he won't waste too much time."
"Who does he remind you of?" Froya was curious.
"...many people." Xiaoyue had memories in her eyes.
"What about the prisoner? Hide him?" Froya gave the prisoner medicine in advance, so there was no need to worry about him waking up.
"Leave it in the darkroom, Uncle Andy will guard it." Xiaoyue paused, "You and I have other tasks."
…
In the name of a "celebration banquet", Wright held a bonfire party in the center of the village with the help of the old village chief, and told the villagers that he would perform a performance before the party started and invite everyone to come and watch.
The villagers were hesitant, but out of yearning for the friendly and united atmosphere of the past, everyone gathered at the venue that night.
Everyone's eyes collided, but no one dared to speak until Wright, wearing a "Prince Regent" costume, came in front of everyone.
In Lecco's tone, he told the story of the incident in a rumored version, and he praised everyone's united efforts to find all the prisoners, and no one was injured.
Wright's successful combination of heartfelt and dramatic performance quietly changed the minds of the villagers.
They applauded Wright's performance. In the subsequent party, everyone showed off their own special skills in the enthusiastic mood, adding fire to the party and burning away the last trace of barriers.
The next day, the village returned to its former appearance.
Wright breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to his "family" who had been with him for several months, and embarked on the road back to the imperial capital.
The only thing that bothered Wright was that because he left with Froya and Xiaoyue, Xiu En's mother thought that her son was planning to pursue love. Instead of stopping him, he hinted that he wanted to hug her as soon as possible. grandson……
Forget it, let Xiu En worry about it!
The corners of Wright's mouth rose up as he was heartbroken.
"why are you laughing?"
"No, it's nothing." Wright was shocked and shook his head repeatedly.
Floya, who was driving the carriage next to him, raised her finger and shook it: "Let me guess, you are planning to throw the blame to Xiu En, right?"
"..."
"Haha, it seems I guessed it right!" Floya glanced at Wright, "But, it's not impossible to find a partner for Xiu En to go back to..."
"Huh?" Wright's mouth gradually grew bigger.
Can you still find him a wife?
I plan to trick him, okay!
"But whether he can take him back or not depends on his own ability, hehe!" Floya began to enjoy the pleasure of teasing Wright more and more.
Wright shrank back silently.
Suddenly, he discovered something: "This road doesn't seem to be the fastest way back to the imperial capital, right?"
"Yes, we are following the official path."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Well, you'll know about it later." Froya gave up.
"..."
Wright's intuition told him that something bad would happen next.
And just two days later, his intuition came true.
"You...you..." Wright looked at the smiling Froya tremblingly.
Are you really not the enemy's insider?
Looking at the hundreds of heavily armed men in black surrounding the carriage, Wright really wanted to ask this question.
"Why are you looking at me like this? The enemy looks at you so strictly. The person guarding you has been caught. How could the person hiding behind not notice it?" Froya spread her hands.
"Then you still dare to take the official road?" Wright finally couldn't help it, "Shouldn't it be better to choose a road that no one knows?!"
"Based on normal people's judgment, that's true." Froya nodded matter-of-factly.
"You deliberately?"
"yes."
"And you said you were not a spy!"
"This is really not the case."
During the conversation between Floya and Wright, the men in black continued to shrink the encirclement.
Realizing that Floya had already made arrangements, Wright couldn't think of how to break the situation. He couldn't control the cold sweat on his forehead, so he could only calm down the pressure by bickering with Froya.
Seeing Floya's carefree and contented look, the leader of the men in black finally realized something was wrong.
"Get out!" He let out a throat-piercing cry.
Froya put her arm on the car rail and supported her cheek with her palm: "The response is good. It's a pity that it's too late~"
As soon as she finished speaking, a shower of arrows rained down towards the place where the man in black was.
Floya took the arm of Wright, who was still in a daze, and quickly got into the car.
Listening to the occasional "bang bang bang" sound above his head, Wright finally understood why Floya and the others had chosen a sturdy carriage.
Looking at Xiao Yue, whose expression remained unchanged in the carriage, and the secret space beneath her feet, Froya took out a stabbing sword from under the seat and guarded the carriage door. Anyone in black who tried to escape from the rain of arrows would be killed by her. Reward a sword.
After a while, the sound of breaking through the air stopped, followed by the sound of swords clashing and fighting.
"Are you okay?" A thick and powerful voice came from outside.
While the speaker was moving the body at the door, Froya quickly changed into a pitiful look, and Xiaoyue also buried her face in Froya's back.
The barrier was removed, and a man wearing Imperial armor squatted at the door of the carriage.
He was one of the generals of the crusade and often came into contact with Xiao Yue and the others, but at this time he did not recognize them in disguise.
The general only saw two women and one man in the carriage. One of the two girls was holding a blood-stained sword in her hand and shaking constantly. The other was terrified and huddled behind her. The only man seemed to be frightened and stayed there. .
"It's okay now. We have subdued the bandits. You reacted quickly and knew how to hide in the carriage. And you are very brave and worthy of praise!" The general comforted the three of them, his eyes lingering on Froya.
He finally looked at Wright and frowned slightly, but said nothing.
"I, we..." Froya had tears in her eyes.
"You're safe, but don't get out of the car yet."
"Okay, okay." Floya nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that they were still reasonable, the general nodded. He stretched out his big hand and patted Wright hard several times.
"You have to cheer up!" The general's words were full of meaning.
"..."
Wright bit his lip and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
He secretly glanced at Froya, who winked at him while the general was checking the situation outside.
How about it, am I the one strategizing?
Floya made a gesture with her lips.
Definitely not your plan!
Wright almost broke his teeth after making his judgment immediately.
