It had been a few hours since the attack happened, so it was already late. My mom had sent someone to tell my dad about what had happened, so by night, he would be here already.
The only thing we did during all those hours was to help some people who were in shock, many of them were unable to even speak after witnessing such brutality.
Some women who had been abused were not even able to stand, these women and also people who lost their relatives were all traumatized enough to lose the desire to walk and talk.
My mother visited all these people and put them in one place, this place had been created to help these people, she took them away from the bodies of their relatives and left them in the care of other people who were better mentally, and also volunteered to help.
Women who were abused were also left in the care of other residents.
"What will we do now?" After leaving all those people who were badly in the care of the other residents, my mother started walking around the village, not knowing what to do from now on.
So even though I asked her, my mom totally ignored me.
Since she was confused and saying nothing, I decided to say something: "Listen, let's gather all the bodies of the people in the village who were killed, then we will prepare the funeral and the burial of all of them, what do you think?"
My mother stopped for a moment to say anything, but then she responded with a simple "Okay." And he headed towards the group of people again. After a few minutes, they returned with some men and women.
They were some of the people who were helping to take care of the other residents, they seemed to be very calm about what happened. They were older, so maybe they were used to something like that.
Most of the residents who were ill were children and younger people, and of course, there were also women, but I don't really like to think about what they suffered, I sincerely start to feel a lot of anger.
"Noah, can you stay home, okay? You should support your sister Lari." My mother started walking with other people inside a house, I didn't even have time to say anything.
Anyway, my help is not needed here, so I decided to go home.
While I was coming back I was greeted by some people and I was also looked at by some women, they didn't look at all well, they were covering themselves with blankets apparently with their torn clothes.
One of the people who greeted was the same woman I saved from abuse when I left the house, she was very grateful and even gave me a hug of thanks, of course, she would not deny that.
After talking with a few more people, and also feeling uncomfortable about being in the midst of such people's suffering, I went home. I couldn't stand to see those people shaking and crying in front of me.
I approached home and the first thing I noticed is that the blood that was dripping through the door had disappeared, the house had already been cleaned, the bandit's body was thrown a few meters away, the only person who could have done it was Lari.
I didn't think she would have so much rush to carry someone's body like that, well, it would save a bit of work, because I was thinking that I would have to clean it up.
"Lari? Where are you?" I opened the door and called out to her, the room was really clean. It didn't take ten seconds for her to answer me, she appeared in the room and looked a little pale.
"You came back, just as well." She sat on the sofa in the living room, or I could tell she was practically passed out, so I approached to try to help her.
"Is everything okay? What do you have? Don't tell me that you are bad for cleaning the room ..." Lari looked at me and replied, "It wasn't because of that." But I could see that she was lying, why did she bother to clean this place up if she isn't used to blood?
"You really are an idiot, cleaning this place up and still feeling sick, you should have left it to me." I tried to get her attention and put some pressure on her, but there was no point in doing that, so I left her on the couch and got up.
I looked at her for a while and asked, "How's Lisandra doing? Did she stop vomiting? I was afraid she might get worse while my mom and I were out and about."
Lari, with some difficulties, answered me: "She is probably in her room now, but she has already improved, in fact, I suggested that she stay in her room while I clean this place."
"I understand."
After hearing this I went to Lisandra's room, I approached the door to listen to something, but there was no sound coming from inside. I was worried so I partially opened the door and looked inside your room.
Lisandra was lying in her bed while she slept, so I closed the door and didn't disturb her sleep. And after that, I went straight to my room, since I had some free time now.
'The time has come to take a look at those skill points, I won several of them after I went up three levels.' I went inside the room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to make it as comfortable as possible.
Apparently killing bandits doesn't help much, I killed many of them to gain only three levels, I need to go after monsters, that's just not enough. But now let's see how it works.
