People who lived on the mountain and depended on the mountain for their livelihood were mostly simple and good-natured. Therefore, Wufu had never intended to take a life. If the other party understood the situation and left, she wouldn't commit any more killing.
However, in the mountains, there were also those who hadn't been civilized and had lost their conscience. They were willing to murder and rob for material gain—wild, uncivilized, knowing only that what caught their eye belonged to them.
