Translator’s Notes: After a discussion, we decided to revert to the original country name to stay true to the author's storytelling. Thank you for understanding.
Wei Yilin was dumbfounded by Wei Ruo's question.
He really thought that Wei Ruo left because she was ruthless. If it were Sister Wanwan, she wouldn't be like that, but he never thought about the way Wei Ruo handled the problem.
But when you think about it, Wei Ruo's method of handling things is actually more effective. Because neither Wei Ruo nor sister Wanwan could have rescued themselves from the hands of two ruthless pirates. In this case, it would definitely be more effective to go get help.
Wei Yilin realized that he had been reckless, but when faced with Wei Ruo, he refused to admit his mistake:
“So what? Who knows if you'll really go find someone to rescue me after you leave? Now that we've both been captured, we'll die together! If I die and bury you together with me, this can be considered revenge for my sister Wanwan!”
"Oh, Wei Yilin, if you want to die, you can do it yourself. I won't die," Wei Ruo sneered.
"You can brag, these two people are not from Xingshan County at all. They are Japanese pirates who kill without blinking an eye! Do you have the ability to survive from their hands? I don't believe it!" Wei Yilin retorted.
Wei Ruo curled up the corners of his lips and said nothing more to Wei Yilin.
She leaned her back against the cave’s wall and rested for a while.
She had a rough grasp of the situation now. The two Japanese pirates were probably the survivors of the war, and in order to survive, they had gone over Wangyue Mountain without fear of danger, and lurked in the south of the city in order to stay low and look for a chance to escape.
As for Wei Yilin, he probably ran to the south of the city out of nowhere and happened to be caught by two disguised pirates, and he would be used as a hostage in case they were discovered.
What she has to do now is to find ways to delay time and gain a chance of survival for herself. Because if there is any trouble, they will definitely choose Wei Yilin, who is relatively easy to take, as a hostage instead of her.
Moreover, these X pirates acted viciously. She was a thirteen-year-old girl, who knew what they would do to her. So it would be a better idea to just kill her on the spot.
Hearing one of the pirates entered, Wei Ruo opened her eyes.
Wei Ruo immediately spoke: "Warrior, I have a way for you to make up for your mistakes."
Just now, Wei Ruo heard some Chinese words from the conversation between these two pirates, and guessed that these two people had learned some Chinese after coming to the east coast for a long time.
Wei Ruo's words left Wei Yilin confused, and he immediately showed a disdainful expression. Did she know what she was saying? She told the pirate that she could help them make up for their mistakes?
But the Japanese pirate in front of them stopped and asked Wei Ruo in non-standard Chinese pronunciation, "You, what do you mean?"
"You have suffered a defeat. Although a few people survived the battle and were not killed or captured, according to the customs of your nation, those of you who did not die in battle should commit suicide to apologize to your emperor." Wei Ruo analyzed calmly.
“You know about us?” The Japanese pirate showed a very surprised expression.
Wei Yilin was also stunned, staring at Wei Ruo with a skeptical expression: How did Wei Qingruo know so much?
“I know some.” Wei Ruo replied, “I just said that I can help you guys make up for your mistakes. You guys know what the idiom of making up for your mistakes means, right? It means that you can return back without being punished, and get meritorious deeds for your service.”
