I am the Odd One Out Chapter 53

The escaped villagers came back one after another the next day. The tragic scene made them cry and many people fainted and fell to the ground. Charlie Chen returned from the boat after staying in Xizhen for a night. He came ashore amid cries, holding the bloody sharp knife in his hand. Li Meilian and his two sons came to greet him. He saw that they were intact and had long hair. He took a breath, and then told them that Leo Lin was dead. He sent gun ransom to Liu Village for Gu Yimin, but was stabbed to death by Zhang Yishao bandit with a sharp knife. The sharp knife pierced Leo Lin's ear. He picked up the bloody sharp knife and said:

"This is it."

Sadness ensued. Li Meilian and her two sons were first shocked and then cried bitterly. Their cries merged with the cries of Qijia Village and whizzed away in the air.

When Charlie Chen was walking in the village, he saw returning villagers squatting in twos and threes on the rubble of their homes, digging, crying, and cursing, looking for any objects that had not been burned. There were still fires in the cellars of several families, and the grains hidden inside were still burning. They put their hands into the fireworks and tried to take out the remaining grains.

This used to be the most prosperous village in Wanmudang. It used to be a place for trading cotton cloth, livestock, silk and grain in Wanmudang. It used to have houses in a row, with stages and pavilions. Now corpses are strewn in the fields and broken walls are everywhere. Ashes and ruins everywhere.
