"If we do the same thing to them now, does that mean that we have become the same as him? If we become the kind of people we hated and loathed back then, then what is the difference between us and them?"
After hearing what he said, almost everyone fell silent. They didn't know what to say at this time.
Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui next to them looked at each other. In fact, when this incident happened at the beginning, they had a rough guess in their hearts.
Now it seems that their guess was actually correct.
Although most people now think that something extreme should be done to them, even killing them.
But no matter what, there are still deeper problems that require them to think carefully.
It was precisely because Zhang Qihai had thought of all these possibilities from the very beginning that he did not put forward his own opinions on this matter, but chose to leave it to the villagers to think about.
It turned out to be exactly as he had imagined. As long as there was more than one person, there would be a lot of disagreements.
But he is not worried about these problems.
After all, these villagers have been living with him for such a long time, and they know clearly what kind of person he is.
So no matter what, they will not care too much about these problems. Even if these problems occur, they will definitely think about and solve them well instead of creating any conflicts.
After a long while, someone finally stood up, nodded slightly, and spoke.
"My child, what you said does make sense, but aren't our compatriots who have been hurt sad?"
The old man stood up, came to him, raised his hand, gently rubbed his head, and slowly began to speak.
After hearing this, the little boy naturally lowered his head with some guilt.
"Yes, Grandpa, I really thought of this at the time, so I feel that we can't say these words now."
In fact, although he is still young, he has experienced a lot. Seeing his compatriots being bullied, how could he not feel any anger in his heart?
It is precisely because the conditions here are so harsh that even though he is very young, he knows what he is experiencing and what is good and bad.
So when this thought popped up in his mind, he chose to take a step back and not say it out loud.
If Zhang Qihai hadn't noticed him, if the old man hadn't encouraged him to speak out, he might never have expressed his thoughts in his entire life.
The people next to them also shook their heads.
If they had not encountered these things, they would definitely be very happy now.
But this is because they have encountered too many similar things and have been bullied too much by those people. Now their wives and children are separated and their families are broken up, and many husbands are no longer able to come back.
How could this not be considered a heavy blow to them?
And now they finally have a chance for revenge. Almost everyone has the same idea and wants to seize it. This is really a very rare opportunity for them.
But what the little boy just said did make them think deeply.
If they really treated those Hei Qiao people the same way they treated them, then wouldn't they truly become the very things they hated in the first place?
But if nothing is done for them, those Black Joes will never truly feel that they have been redeemed, or realize how good they are. Instead, they will become even more aggressive in doing other things to them.
So at the moment this problem is really very confusing, and they have no idea what to do.
Although the old man has indeed lived for most of his life, he still feels very uncomfortable with this kind of problem.
It is indeed very difficult to make a right decision.
So at this moment he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui.
In fact, after interacting with them, he could see that these two people were indeed very wise.
If possible, he also hopes that these two people can give him some inspiration.
So at this moment he slowly spoke.
"I don't know what you two think, and I really want to hear your opinions."
I didn't expect that the old man would throw this question to me.
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui couldn't help but look in each other's direction, and then they fell into their own thoughts.
They naturally knew how important this matter was, so no matter what, they could not make any mistakes under the circumstances.
In any case, they must think carefully about how to make the right choice.
After a long while, the two people finally reacted from their own world.
Their faces looked very serious, and then Zhang Qihai spoke.
"I know what you are thinking in your hearts. I also know what you are struggling with. In fact, I can understand it."
"Under the current circumstances, no matter which decision you make, you may regret it, and you may have a different view of it in hindsight."
"But no matter what, I want to make it clear to you that there is nothing wrong with the decisions made by either of you."
Chapter 685: Unified Opinion
Under the current circumstances, it is indeed very difficult to make a choice, and almost everyone has his or her own thoughts in mind.
At the beginning, their opinions were very consistent, until the little boy said this, and then they gradually realized that they really couldn't make any moves too easily.
In this situation, you still have to think carefully. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that everything will become very bad.
Then Zhang Qihai continued to speak to them.
"No matter what, I can't make any decisions for you, because everything they did was for you, not for me. I don't have the right to do anything for you. I am very happy with the decision. You can ask for my opinion, but the final decision is still in your hands."
His face was very serious as he spoke these words to everyone, hoping that everyone would understand his good intentions.
No matter what, under such a serious situation, he hopes that everyone can make a decision without regrets.
After all, the current situation is already extremely complicated.
No matter who it is, they may not be able to know what they should do in such a short period of time.
After all, the choice is different now.
If their choices were the same, they wouldn't be so conflicted now, because they simply can't figure out which one is the better one in such a short time.
After hearing this, how could everyone not know what he meant? Everyone's face looked very serious.
In this case, if we really want to solve it properly, it would be a very difficult thing to do.
Seeing everyone looking so conflicted, Qi Tiezui on the side couldn't help but step forward and speak to them.
"In fact, I think you are just thinking too much now. You don't need to think so much. Just follow your heart. As long as you don't regret it later, everything will be fine."
If it were any other situation, he would also advise everyone to think carefully, but in the current situation he felt that there was really no need to do so. After all, the Hei Qiao people were really hateful, and he knew it clearly in his heart.
Those people did so many strange things, and I really didn't want to forgive them in such a short time. Moreover, they didn't do anything to make everyone happy. Instead, they gave in and begged for mercy after everyone's outrage.
When those people were torturing us, why didn’t they think about how painful it would be for us?
Only now that they have been caught do they behave like weaklings.
But what's the point of acting like this now?
We are not fools, how could we not see that they are pretending to be so?
After hearing what everyone said, the other villagers became more determined in their choice.
They also felt that no matter what, they could not let them go under such circumstances.
But there still has to be a limit.
It was impossible for them to actually torture these black men to death in front of everyone. The most they could do was punish them and then let them go.
After all, they have more important things to do right now, and no matter what, they will not spend too much time on this black Joe.
Then they started to speak out their opinions.
"Okay, we get it. But we still can't let them off so easily this time. After all, they have done so many excessive things to us. No matter what, we must let them know how abominable what they did was!"
When one of them said this, the people around him naturally nodded and spoke immediately.
"Yes, no matter what, we can't let them go under such circumstances. If they go back safely, doesn't it mean that we are easy to bully?"
"I think so too. Although we won't kill them directly, we still have to punish them anyway."
Seeing that everyone had spoken out their opinions, the others seemed to agree as well.
Now it seems to be the best solution.
So at this moment they naturally nodded and spoke without hesitation.
"Okay, let's do this then."
After hearing what everyone said, the old man nearby also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
It is true that the black people bullied them.
Now I finally have such an opportunity. Although it is impossible for me to really retaliate, I must make them know how hateful what they did was.
So at this moment he nodded slightly and spoke to the people in front of him.
"Yes, although we really won't do anything too extreme to them, they still have to be punished."
"As long as we have this degree, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui next to them naturally nodded happily after hearing this. Seeing that they finally made a decision at this time was indeed good news for everyone.
Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take them.
After all, they have something more important to do now.
No matter what, they can't continue to stay in this extremely difficult environment, otherwise, everything will become very bad.
Since I had already promised them that I would take them away from here no matter what, I would definitely do it now.
Those Black Joes can only stay in such a place for their entire lives. In fact, this is a punishment for them. They have no way to improve their intelligence and can only be barbarians.
"Okay, then you guys should quickly solve this matter. After this matter is solved, we will leave here together."
When everyone heard the words "leave here together", a little light appeared in their eyes.
Chapter 686 Punishment
"Yeah, yeah, how come we almost forgot to hand in the most important thing!"
"Great, we can leave after we resolve these issues!"
