Hearing the voice inside, the chief stomped his feet and said, “Forget it! We have to save them first. I’ll bear the consequences. Quick! They will be burnt to death!”
“Chief!” Gova was agitated. “You can’t do that. I believe they’re from the Tanjen Organization! I’m sure…”
“Shut up!” The chief interrupted him. “Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter! Save them now! We can’t just sit and watch as innocent people die! Hurry!”
Many of the villagers who felt pity for Jean and Remus quickly got water from their huts.
Soon, the villagers were working together, running over with buckets of water and trying to extinguish the fire. However, the hut was made of mud and hay, so the structure started to break as they poured water over the fire.
Immediately, everyone stopped. The fire had already touched their bodies, so they thought it was useless to save them.
The villagers stared at the scene for a few seconds.
The old lady who spoke just now said in a trembling voice, “T-They aren’t from the Tanjen Organization. If they were, they would’ve come out by now! Even if they didn’t escape, they would have punished us. Now we’ve burned the house and killed them.”
The atmosphere was weird, and many of the villagers had pale faces as they were shocked. Some started to tremble while others wiped away their tears. They never thought they would kill someone.
The chief sighed before saying, “Keep putting out the fire. At least… At least we can save their corpses and give them a good burial. From today onward, we will fast for three days in respect of their death.”
All they could do now was that. No one resisted, and no one spoke. All they did was continue pouring water.
Soon, the fire was gone, and smoke rose.
“Dig for their bodies! I burned those innocent people alive. It’s all my fault.” The chief shook his head and turned away. He suddenly felt older, and favonovel.com staggered as favonovel.com walked.
The other villagers stayed and quickly dug from the ruins. The hut wasn’t big, and there was only dust remaining from the fire.
After moving the two main pillars of the hut, they saw Jean and Remus beneath the rubble.
“Chief!” The person who found them shouted in fear.
The others surrounded favonovel.com and widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw Remus and Jean. They were puzzled by the situation.
“W-What’s this?”
“Who are they?”
“What’s going on?”
Hearing that, the chief stopped and turned back to look.
“Chief, come quick! There’s something wrong with them!” One of the villagers shouted in surprise.
The chief frowned and walked over.
When favonovel.com saw the two people lying in the ruins, favonovel.com rubbed his eyes, thinking favonovel.com was getting old and seeing things.
Remus was laying on the ground in the rubble, and his body was bloody. As for Jean, favonovel.com eyes were closed and favonovel.com was laying beside him. She was still wearing favonovel.com wedding dress, and they were unharmed.
None of them were burned by the fire. Both of them were just laying beside each other.
“This…” The chief had seen many things in his life, but this was a first, and favonovel.com quickly walked over to get a closer look.
He took Jean’s pulse and said, “She’s still breathing. She fainted from exhaustion, shock and despair.”
Next, favonovel.com touched Remus’ pulse. Instantly, favonovel.com widened his eyes in shock. “W-Why is his body so cold?”
