Su Qian froze, looking at Shang Tian with a puzzled expression.
He was very sad.
This was an emotion she couldn't understand; to her, everyone in this world was like an NPC.
They died, and the author only briefly mentioned it in his writing.
She stared blankly at the thick smoke rising into the sky. "Are you very sad?"
Shang Tian responded in a muffled voice, "Mm."
Su Qian raised her hand and gently patted Shang Tian's back, her movements a little stiff. "Then cry."
After all, there's really nothing they can do besides cry.
Shang Tian held Su Qian in his arms and cried for a long, long time, until it got dark and the thick smoke dissipated. Only then did he let go of Su Qian, his face flushed, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you... thank you."
Su Qian moved her numb shoulders and nodded, "Yeah, you should lose weight."
Shang Tian: "......" Where's the promised tenderness?
(?_?)
Seeing that Shang Tian had released Su Qian, Shang Dayuan stepped forward and said, "Qian, your peaches will spoil if you don't eat them soon, why don't you give them to me?"
Su Qian immediately frowned. "No." That scoundrel, trying to steal her food again!
(T^T)
Shang Tian smiled bitterly, "Second Uncle, stop teasing A-Qian." He affectionately patted Su Qian's head and said softly, "Go play somewhere else first, I need to talk to my Second Uncle about something."
"Oh," Su Qian replied, then grabbed the basket of peaches and ran off.
She wanted to hide and eat all the peaches before coming out.
"Young Master," Shang Dayuan sighed, "This time the village suffered heavy losses. A thousand people died, and another five hundred left. Now there are only three thousand five hundred people left in the village."
"I had no choice." Those who died were all my closest relatives; if I didn't cremate them, even more people would suffer.
But it's only natural that they wouldn't want to.
At such a moment, words seemed so inadequate, and the two fell silent.
The Su family.
"You can't take my mother away. Aunt Zhang promised to bury her." Su Xin stubbornly blocked the people from Qingshan Village, preventing them from entering the house.
The man said somewhat impatiently, "According to the village rules, if you don't want to, then take her and leave the village."
"I..." It was already dark. If she left the village, could she still survive?
She slowly released her grip, made way, and stared blankly as those people dragged Chen Wen away, handing her a small jar after a long, long time.
"Mother... Mother... Mother..." she called softly, holding the jar.
Suddenly, she stood up, looked towards the sky, and said, "Su Qian, my hatred for you is irreconcilable!"
She clearly saw those people force-feeding others medicine, but her mother didn't receive that treatment.
Some of those who took the medicine survived. If her mother had also taken that medicine... would she... would she have survived too?
She gripped the corner of the table tightly, and a splinter instantly pierced her palm, staining the table red with blood.
"System is binding..."
"Binding complete..."
"Would you like to start the mission, host?"
Task?
"What mission?"
She often heard her father talk about strange and unusual things. She thought she had probably met some kind of deity today. Even if it wasn't a deity, she just wanted someone to avenge her.
"As long as the host completes the mission, I can help the host fulfill all their wishes."
"I want Su Qian dead," Su Xin said through gritted teeth.
"Once the host reaches level ten, he will be the most favored concubine. Taking someone's life is no difficult task for him."
The system's words carried an endless allure.
Su Xin was slightly taken aback, "Enter the palace?"
