"Keep cursing, I'll take it as a lullaby." Wei Ruo calmly said.
Being tied up and locked up in a cave by two Japanese pirates was quite frightening, so having a voice yelling next to you could ease the scary atmosphere a bit.
After a while, the Japanese pirates came back.
"If you do what you said you would do, we won't hurt you."
"No problem." Wei Ruo readily agreed.
"But we won't let your brother go, we might even kill him." said the pirates.
Letting Wei Yilin was the same as exposing their whereabouts. They would keep Wei Yilin or use him as a hostage. If something went wrong and they couldn't escape, they would kill him for safety reasons.
“I don't have a good relationship with him, he wants me to die. If he had a good relationship with me, he wouldn't have called me 'eldest sister' and let you catch me. When you truly love someone, you are hoping that they will live well instead of dragging them down. So do whatever you want." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Yilin widened his eyes in disbelief.
He wanted to refute, but realized that he couldn't find the words to do so.
"That's good." The Japanese pirates naturally didn't want Wei Ruo to impose additional conditions on them.
“Since we have reached an agreement, then you should also treat me better. Don't harm me before we return back to Japan." Wei Ruo continued.
“What do you want?” the Japanese pirate asked.
"Please untie me so that I can feel comfortable and my hands won't have any problems due to long-term poor blood flow. Don't worry, there is no other exit in this cave, and I can’t get out with you guarding at the entrance of the cave. I don't have any martial arts skills, so I can't beat you at all." Wei Ruo said.
The Japanese pirates hesitated a little, looking at Wei Ruo for a while, and then recalled the scene where they caught Wei Ruo just now. If she knew martial arts, she wouldn't have been caught by them that easily. They finally nodded and agreed.
The Japanese pirates untied Wei Ruo.
After doing so, the two pirates returned to the outside of the cave.
These two seemed to be plotting something, although they could not understand their words, Wei Ruo guessed that these two should be discussing how to escape from the pursuit of the officials and soldiers of Xingshan County, successfully set sail, and escaped back to their country.
Wei Ruo, who had gained freedom, leaned against the stone wall with a leisurely posture.
In contrast, Wei Yilin, who was opposite her, had his hands tied behind his back and collapsed on the ground, feeling very uncomfortable.
Not only did his posture feel uncomfortable, but he was also mentally uncomfortable. He had heard everything the Japanese pirates said just now. They said they wouldn't let him go, and if there was a slight mishap, they would just kill him.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to live!
Although he was speaking righteously when arguing with Wei Ruo just now, when the fear of death hit him, he began to envy Wei Ruo again.
At least those Japanese pirates said they would not kill her!
Wei Yilin felt an indescribable regret in his heart, but facing Wei Ruo, he still didn't want to admit that his choice was not as clever as hers.
Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to Wei Yilin's expression, nor did she want to know what was going on inside his mind.
She took out a small brocade bag from her arms, took out dried sweet potatoes and nibbled it.
When Wei Ruo went out, Wei Ruo had the habit of bringing snacks for herself, so asking Xiumei to go back to the carriage to get some food just now was indeed an excuse she made to distribute that food to the poor people.
Wei Ruo was leisurely munching sweet dried sweet potatoes and enjoying herself made Wei Yilin's eyes almost pop out.
