Soldiers and Survivors

Qin Yi opened her beautiful phoenix eyes that still had drowsiness in them. She closed and opened them again, revealing full clarity.

 Yun Huan sensed that the person beside him was awake and extended his hand to the youth's forehead to check for fever.

 Qin Yi yawned, looked around with her phoenix eyes, and asked drowsily, "Brother Yun, what's going on outside?"

 Yun Huan looked out the window indifferently. "Lin Qing went out to get information outside. As of now, we don't know what's going on."

 Lin Qing returned right at this time.

 Lin Qing entered the car and rubbed his hands together. "I went to check it out. Two strangers are quarreling ahead. One seems to be soldiers that are out to gather supplies, the other seems to be the villagers from nearby. The villagers want the soldiers to bring them away, but the soldiers are reluctant to do so. Now they are stuck in a stalemate."

 Lin Qing's tone clearly contained schadenfreude.
