Chapter 661

The little wild donkey seemed to be aware of the movement around it. It raised its head and looked around vigilantly. When its eyes met Bai Ye, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in its eyes. But soon, that vigilance was replaced by an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It seemed to recognize Bai Ye and the soldiers who had taken care of it.

"Little wild donkey, don't be afraid. We are here to take you home." Bai Ye said gently, his voice full of comfort and warmth. He reached out and gently stroked the top of the little wild donkey's head, just as they had done countless times before.

The little wild donkey felt Bai Ye's tenderness and care, and it slowly relaxed its vigilance and let Bai Ye stroke its hair. There was an indescribable gratitude and joy in its eyes, as if saying: "Thank you, I finally found you."

Seeing this, the soldiers also surrounded them. Some of them brought food and water to the little wild donkey, while others quietly guarded it. At this warm moment, they seemed to have returned to the camp that was once full of laughter and harmony.

However, the good times did not last long. As night fell, dangers also came with it in the wilderness. The roars of wild animals echoed around, reminding them that this was not a safe place. Bai Ye knew that they had to leave this place as soon as possible and bring the little wild donkey back to the camp.

"Everyone, get ready. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Bai Ye said in a deep voice. His tone revealed a bit of urgency and determination. The soldiers immediately took action after hearing this. Some of them packed their luggage, while others carefully approached the little wild donkey and prepared to take it away.

The little wild donkey seemed to have sensed the impending change. It looked up at Bai Ye, and a trace of uneasiness and resistance flashed in its eyes. It didn't want to leave this free world and didn't want to be bound in a small space again. But looking at Bai Ye and the soldiers who had taken care of it, it knew that they were thinking about its own safety.

"Little wild donkey, be obedient and go back with us." Bai Ye said softly. His words were full of comfort and encouragement. He reached out and stroked the top of the little wild donkey's head again to try to soothe its emotions.

The little wild donkey looked at Bai Ye's eyes full of warmth and felt the warmth in his hands. It finally let go of the resistance in its heart. It nodded gently as if to say, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

So the soldiers carefully took the little wild donkey back home. They went through the wilderness, crossed the hills, and finally returned to the familiar camp after untold hardships. When the lights of the camp illuminated their faces again, they knew that they had finally completed this difficult journey of searching and returning.

The little wild donkey was placed in a spacious and comfortable shed, where it could run freely, play and enjoy its happy time. Bai Ye and the soldiers silently guarded it, and their hearts were full of relief and satisfaction.

In this underground world full of variables, Bai Ye, the soldiers and the little wild donkey established an indescribable emotional bond. They supported each other, relied on each other, and faced the challenges and unknowns of the future together. Although their future is full of uncertainty and danger, they believe that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to create their own miracles and glory.

In the camp dotted with stars, laughter and warm lights intertwined into a seemingly harmonious picture. Bai Ye led the soldiers and the little wild donkey to play in the open space, as if forgetting the cruelty and danger of the outside world. Surrounded by the crowd, the little wild donkey sometimes ran happily and sometimes rolled leisurely. Its eyes flashed with innocence and happiness, as if this was its paradise.

"Look, how happy the little wild donkey is laughing!" A soldier said with a smile, his face full of satisfaction and happiness.

"Yes, the hard work during this period has not been in vain." Another soldier echoed, his eyes closely following the figure of the little wild donkey, his eyes full of pampering.

Bai Ye stood aside, with a faint smile on his lips, but his deep eyes hid unknown secrets. He quietly observed the interaction between the little wild donkey and the soldiers, secretly thinking about the next plan in his heart.

As time passed, the night deepened, but the atmosphere in the camp became more and more heated. The soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and jokes, while the little wild donkey nibbled on the grass leisurely, enjoying this rare tranquility and peace.

However, in the midst of laughter and joy, a sudden change broke all the harmony and beauty. Bai Ye suddenly stood up, his eyes became cold and resolute, as if he had become a different person in an instant. He walked quickly towards the little wild donkey, and before the soldiers could react, Bai Ye suddenly jumped up and bit the little wild donkey's throat.

"Bai Ye! What are you doing?!" The soldiers exclaimed, their faces full of shock and fear. They couldn't believe what they saw, and couldn't understand Bai Ye's behavior.

The little wild donkey let out a shrill wail, and its eyes were full of despair and confusion. However, its struggle seemed so insignificant in front of Bai Ye's powerful strength. Bai Ye bit the little wild donkey's throat tightly until it completely lost its vitality.

The soldiers stared at this scene blankly, their hearts full of confusion and anger. They didn't understand why Bai Ye did this, and they couldn't accept this cruel reality. However, when they saw Bai Ye tearing the little wild donkey's body apart and greedily devouring the delicious flesh and blood, they finally realized what was going on.

"So... So the little wild donkey is actually food!" A soldier muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and despair.

"Yeah...we actually treated it as a companion..." Another soldier closed his eyes painfully, his heart full of regret and self-blame.

Bai Ye seemed not to hear the soldiers' exclamations and discussions, he was still concentrating on enjoying this rare feast. His face was full of satisfaction and joy, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

The soldiers looked at each other, they knew that in this cruel world, survival is often more important than morality and emotion. Although they could not accept this fact, they could not change it. So, after a short silence, the soldiers also joined in this cruel feast. They began to cut up the body of the little wild donkey, roasted it over the fire and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"It smells so good..." A soldier exclaimed while eating, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah...I haven't eaten such delicious meat for a long time..." Another soldier echoed, his eyes flashing with greed.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers wolfing down the meat, and there was no guilt or uneasiness in his heart. On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented satisfaction and relief. He knew that in this world full of danger and uncertainty, only the strong can survive. And he is that strong man.

However, in this seemingly jubilant camp, there is a deep sadness and helplessness. The tragic fate of the little wild donkey has become an eternal pain and shadow in their hearts. They know that they can never return to that innocent and beautiful era. In the days to come, they will have to continue to face more cruelty and ruthlessness, and continue to struggle and fight for survival.

However, when the soldiers brought the little wild donkeys back to the camp and prepared to enjoy the mouth-watering donkey meat again, a strange emotion began to grow quietly in their hearts. Under the light of the fire, their faces were no longer just greedy and satisfied, but more complex thinking and struggle.

"Bai Ye, we...is it really okay to do this?" A soldier finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice. Although his voice was small, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.

Bai Ye stopped his movements, he looked up at the soldier, and a subtle fluctuation flashed in his deep eyes. "In this world, survival is the greatest justice." He said slowly, with both firmness and helplessness in his tone, "We are here to survive, for our families, and for our future."

The soldiers were silent. They knew that Bai Ye's words made sense. But deep in their hearts, the awe and sympathy for life made them hard to let go. They began to reflect, is this way of survival really what they want?

At this moment, a faint sound came from outside the camp, interrupting their thoughts. The soldiers immediately became alert and picked up their weapons to prepare for possible threats. However, when they walked out of the camp, they found that the sound was actually the whine of a wounded little wild donkey.

The little wild donkey was obviously injured when escaping the trap. At this moment, it was curled up in the grass, trembling helplessly. Its eyes were full of fear and despair, but in this despair, it seemed to hide a faint will to survive.

The soldiers looked at each other, and an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts. When they saw the little wild donkey, it was like seeing their own reflection in this cruel world - weak, helpless, but struggling to survive.

"We... can't just give up on it." A soldier whispered, his voice was soft but full of determination.

Other soldiers nodded in agreement. They realized that perhaps they had been wrong all along. They thought that survival required sacrificing everything, including morality and conscience. But now, they saw hope and another possibility - finding a balance between survival and morality.

So, the soldiers carefully brought the injured little wild donkey back to the camp. They bandaged its wounds, fed it food and water, and used up all their tenderness and patience. In the process, they felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness, a spiritual pleasure that transcended material enjoyment.

The little wild donkey gradually recovered under the care of the soldiers, and its eyes became brighter and more trusting. The soldiers began to realize that these seemingly weak lives actually have their own value and meaning. They are not just a source of food, but also an indispensable part of this world.

As time went on, the soldiers' attitude towards the little wild donkey changed dramatically. They no longer regarded them as prey or food, but as friends and partners. They lived and fought together in this wilderness, facing threats and challenges from the outside world together.

Bai Ye also saw the changes in the soldiers, and he felt both gratified and emotional in his heart. He realized that he might have been too obsessed with the pursuit of survival and power, and ignored the more important and beautiful things in life. He began to reflect on his behavior and values, trying to find a more harmonious and beautiful way of survival in this cruel world.

Finally one day, Bai Ye summoned all the soldiers, and he stood in front of them with an unprecedented light in his eyes. "We used to think that survival was everything, but now I know I was wrong." He said slowly, "In this world, in addition to survival, there are more things worth pursuing and cherishing-such as love, friendship, respect and sympathy."

The soldiers listened to Bai Ye's words quietly, their hearts filled with emotion and resonance. They knew that at this moment Bai Ye was no longer the ruthless commander, but a leader who truly understood the meaning of life.

"From now on, we will no longer hunt little wild donkeys." Bai Ye continued, "We will live in harmony with them and jointly protect every life on this land."

The soldiers nodded in agreement, and their hearts were filled with expectations and longing for the future. They know that this road may be full of unknowns and challenges, but they are willing to work hand in hand towards a better and brighter future.

As a result, in this wilderness shrouded in war and desolation, a group of once ruthless soldiers and a group of once weak and helpless little wild donkeys established a deep friendship and trust. They face the cruelty and ruthlessness of this world together, but they also find the meaning and value of life in each other's company. They have proved with their actions: In this world full of darkness and despair, justice and beauty still exist, as long as we are willing to find, cherish, and protect them.

On that afternoon that was dyed red by the setting sun, Bai Ye led the soldiers and played with a group of newly acquainted young wild donkeys in the open space near the camp. After getting along with each other for a period of time, these newly added little wild donkeys have gradually put down their wariness against humans and begun to enjoy this rare happy time. They were running, jumping, or chasing each other with the soldiers. There was a relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the air.

Bai Ye stood aside with a faint smile on his lips. His eyes showed both pleasure at the growth of the soldiers and satisfaction at this harmonious scene. He knew that such a scene was hard-won and was the result of the joint efforts of the soldiers and himself.

The interaction between the soldiers and the little wild ass became more and more intimate. They gently stroked the little wild donkey's fur or handed some fodder as a reward. The little wild donkeys also seemed to feel the kindness of the soldiers. They nuzzled the soldiers' hands gently with their noses and brayed happily.

However, amidst the laughter and laughter, a sudden change broke all the harmony and beauty. A soldier's face suddenly darkened, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and kicked the nearest little wild donkey hard.

The little wild donkey was caught off guard and was kicked out, falling heavily to the ground. It whined in pain, its limbs struggled feebly, and blood slowly flowed from the corners of its mouth. The screams of the soldiers intertwined with the wails of the little wild donkeys, forming a heart-wrenching picture.
