The nun Oriana and Director Li were both deeply alarmed, afraid that a life would be taken, and quickly stepped forward to persuade:
"If you keep beating them like this, you will beat them to death."
Unfortunately, with relatives dead from the poison, the villagers were extremely agitated, and soon an elder, Jiang, caught them both: "This is our village's own affair. Even if someone is beaten to death, it has nothing to do with you two. Pretend you didn't see, and leave quickly."
Oriana and Director Li looked helplessly at Old Zhou and Aguduo, who were now beaten to the point of bleeding from the mouth and nose, barely clinging to life.
"Forget it, we can't manage this." Director Li stomped his foot and dragged Aguduo away.
"Keep hitting!" Someone shouted, and the dissatisfied villagers surged forward again, engulfing the two under a rain of fists and feet.
"Alright, that's enough venting," Wang Daniu called out at the last moment, saving the two from certain death.
