Lu Xi'an kept his word. After asking his questions, he untied the two men.
The two of them expressed their gratitude profusely. They stood up immediately and said they would fetch water and leave overnight, picking up their yokes and buckets as they spoke.
But Lu Xi'an stopped them, saying, "You should rest first. Without recovering your strength, heading out to sea would be courting death.
"I said I would release you, and I mean it. I won't make things difficult for you."
Both men were astonished. Hu Xiaodong said, "You two are truly good people. We've never seen Neo-Humans as kind as you two before!"
Oh great, yet another "good person" card.
Ever since arriving in this world, whenever Yao Wei and I encountered people here, they always seemed to call us good people.
It seems that, to the people of this world, Yao Wei and I are indeed good people.
