Chapter 51: Good People and Bad People
What is good?
ArrayWhat is evil?
What is the standard for judging a good person?
If someone who has never killed a living thing kills to protect their family, is that evil?
If a butcher who has slaughtered countless lives dies to protect the person he loves, does that not count as good?
No one has ever been able to judge good and evil perfectly.
The simplest way to judge good and evil is to see whether the perpetrator kills innocent people.
After coming out from the west of Qingsong City, the footprints on the ground were too numerous to count. Although a few distinct footprints were found, once entering the snowy field, no trace could be found anymore.
The marks on the snow had been cleaned up. When that group fled, an experienced veteran brought up the rear, blowing up all the snowflakes to erase their tracks.
But Gu Shiyi heard sounds.
The excited shouts of men and the miserable cries of a woman.
Following the sound, he found a cave.
The cave was pitch black, and the sounds came from inside.
There was no need to think to know what was happening.
Gu Shiyi walked inside.
He saw firelight, as well as shadows beneath it.
One shadow was slumped over another shadow, while two other shadows stood to the side.
Gu Shiyi approached quietly.
“Damn it, making us guard this lousy cave where we never see the light of day.”
“Stop complaining. Didn’t the boss leave us a woman, along with wine and meat? It’s pretty good already.”
“We just pulled off a big job. Once we get through these few days, good days are ahead for us.”
