"Crushed two stalks of rice? Was it necessary to kill them for that? Couldn't they just pay for the damages?"
"Ah, more than two stalks. Those guys are problematic. They don't know how many rice fields they've trampled on their way here or how many date trees they've cut down. Some of the green dates were knocked down before they could ripen, all rotten on the ground. Many grass mats on both sides of the river bank were ruined. They said it's good to ride horses on the grass; it doesn't hurt their hooves. Ange was furious, I didn't dare to pacify him."
Anthony was stunned for a while, then surprisingly asked, "Are they really that reckless?"
