Chapter 4496: Freedom Editor: Henyee Translations Five minutes later, the main border defense team received an extremely urgent call. Only then did they know that herdsmen at the Chinese border had been kidnapped by extremists from Gistan. The commander-in-chief of the border defense team couldn’t delay calling the military for even a second. That was how he knew that the military had taken action. The military was very reserved. As they were entering other countries to rescue them, they only said that they would solve all the problems. This sentence needed a deep understanding to comprehend the bloodiness behind it. In a small village in Gistan, people were sitting in a dark mud-walled room with bloodshot eyes. The morning sun shone on a corner of the room. They hummed a sad song with tears in their eyes. Their loved ones... were dead and would never come back. Tianshan Mountain was covered in snow. Eagles spread their wings and flew past the village. However, their relatives could no longer see the snow on Tianshan Mountain. They could no longer see the eagles spreading their wings and flying past. From then on, they fell into a long sleep. The low and long tone was so sad that it touched everyone’s hearts. "My family, my family. Don’t leave us and go to a distant and cold place. My family, my family..." The sorrowful song echoed in the dark house. The villagers of Gistan who had lost their loved ones were as sad as children. They leaned against each other and cried together. The cries shrouded everyone’s hearts like dark clouds. They didn’t recover from the sorrow of their loved ones’ deaths until the sky turned dark. On the other hand, the girls from Gistan who were being held captive were also crying. Ye Jian held Ayiguli’s hands tightly. She was the only girl who could speak Chinese. She went to school in the border village for two years. Ye Jian held her hands tightly and said softly, "It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. Ayiguli... It’s not your fault. Don’t cry... It’s not your fault." Ayiguli, who was crying on Ye Jian’s shoulder, gritted her teeth and bit her sleeve. This was the only way to stop her from crying. She returned to the village she hadn’t returned to for two years. She returned to her home and saw her parents who she missed. She saw her brother and uncle who loved her in the past... Not long after, her nightmares started... Her relatives left one after another. Even after so long, her nightmares continued. They would continue for generations and never pass. Ye Jian hugged this girl who blamed herself for not succeeding in committing suicide twice. She comforted her softly. Her eyes landed on the iron door, and the look in her eyes were like polished arrows. Her eyes were shining with a cold light. There were footsteps outside. It wasn’t one person. There were five to seven people. They were walking over. The sensitive Gistan girls heard the footsteps. They hugged Ye Jian and Ayiguli tightly and widened their beautiful eyes. They stared at the iron door in fear and told the crying Ayiguli that someone was coming. Ayiguli, who was crying on Ye Jian’s shoulder, stopped at this second. She raised her head, and her big eyes, which seemed to be covered with dust, shone. She quickly said to Ye Jian, "Ye Jian, your chance to escape is here! You must escape!" Without giving Ye Jian a chance to speak, she turned her head and spoke quickly to the Gistan girls in the local language. She needed them to create chaos and help Ye Jian escape. The Gistan girls obviously didn’t expect this. They were stunned for a moment.
