They all have children. What mother could watch her child die with her?
The man lowered his head; he hadn't wanted this either, it was just an accident.
Why does everyone blame him?
With the protection of rats, their village was the safest place besides Shangjia Village.
Everyone clearly benefited, so why is it that when something goes wrong, it's all his fault?
Suddenly, he just didn't want to talk about it.
He wanted to... drag everyone down with him!
He looked up, a sinister smile on his face. "You can do it now."
Shang Tian frowned. He had no intention of killing the man; he was just trying to scare him.
Su Qian peeked out from behind Shang Tian, looked at the man, and asked, "Why do you want to die? Isn't it good to be alive?"
As she spoke, she took a daisy from her bosom, handed it to the man, and said, "Look, how fragrant it is."
The man stared at the chrysanthemums in her hand, and the veins on his forehead throbbed involuntarily. Was she offering sacrifices at his grave?
Still smells good?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Shang Tian looked at the chrysanthemum in Su Qian's hand, amused and annoyed, and said, "Qian, what are you doing with this?"
Chrysanthemums are usually used for offering sacrifices at graves.
Su Qian looked at Shang Tian, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Why this kind of flower?
Su Qian thought for a moment and said very seriously, "Roses have thorns." What if they prick my chest?
This reason was so compelling that Shang Tian was powerless to refute it. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Leave this to me, okay?"
"Hmm." Su Qian nodded, then thought for a moment and added, "I do not wish them to die."
In other words, they want them dead?
Instantly, the faces of everyone in the village turned dark.
The man chuckled and looked at Shang Tian, saying, "Go ahead and do it."
Shang Tian didn't move, but just looked at him and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to die?"
He didn't think this person was a particularly evil person.
The man lowered his head and chuckled foolishly. After laughing for a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the group of women, and said with hatred in his eyes, "The world has suddenly fallen into chaos. All your men have gone out hunting. If it weren't for me controlling the rats to protect the village, would you still be alive?"
Now that something has gone wrong, why is it all my fault?
I blame myself every day for the chaos I've caused in Jizhou, while you all enjoy the fruits of my labor.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If we're going to die, we'll all die together."
Everyone fell silent. One of the women stepped forward and said timidly, "We didn't... blame you."
"That's right, we didn't say it was your fault."
"You're the only man in the village, shouldn't you shoulder the responsibility?"
They talked and talked, and as they talked, all the self-reproach in their hearts disappeared.
Shang Tian glanced at the man's ashen face and said indifferently, "Mosquito, take ten men and watch over those women and children."
Mosquito pushed the women aside, and Shang Tian took another look at the man and asked, "Did you intend to harm the people of Jizhou back then?"
The man shook his head slightly. "I don't need to do that."
"No one instructed you?"
"No."
Shang Tian looked at Su Qian and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Su Qian snorted coldly and said, "He deserved to be betrayed."
He carried the entire village on his back, practically treating those women and children like ancestors.
As a result, he was betrayed when things went wrong.
Although he was unkind to Ji Zhou, he was extremely kind and righteous to those women.
