Feng Guang glanced at Yu Kun and said, "No matter how evil a person is, you can't kill him in front of his child. It will leave a lifelong shadow on the child."
Feng Guang is a principled person, especially when it comes to children. She always believes that children need to be protected, and if there is even the slightest mistake, it will affect the course of the child's life.
"Does the beauty really like children?"
Feng Guang looked at Yu Kun, who had asked the question, and seeing his knowing tone, she pouted defiantly, "What do you mean I like children? I was just saying it offhand."
She didn't like the feeling of being seen through, especially by this man she disliked.
Yu Kun opened his fan, but smiled without saying a word.
Fei Ziyuan looked at the scenery and then at Yu Kun, and inexplicably felt that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The couple finally finished crying, and the man said, "Young master, ladies, we know we were wrong. We will accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate."
Fei Ziyuan said, "If we really send you to prison, what will happen to your daughter?"
The two fathers exchanged a glance and fell silent once again; it seemed they hadn't thought this through either.
"If you ask me, the biggest culprit in this whole affair is this natural disaster," Yu Kun said slowly. "I've seen many disaster victims along the way. I wonder what happened here?"
“Young masters, you must be from out of town. It’s normal that you don’t know this,” the man said. “Our Sunset Village is also a village in Yangcheng. I used to sell pork in the village, and everyone called me Butcher Zheng. Later, I married a beautiful woman and we had a daughter named Xiao Rong. Life was pretty good. But just three months ago, a torrential rainstorm struck, followed by a massive flood. Many people didn’t have time to escape and were swept away by the flood. As for us, those of us who were lucky enough to escape the flood, our houses were destroyed, and we are now homeless…”
Fei Ziyuan asked, "You suffer from natural disasters, but the government of Yangcheng doesn't care?"
“How could the government not care?” Jiao Niang said with a sigh. “Every time the government builds new houses for us and sends disaster relief supplies, this heavy rain starts again, and soon after, floods come. We suffer continuous losses of manpower and resources. What’s worse, an epidemic has also arrived. The government can’t do anything about it. Everyone says that our Sunset Village is a cursed village. Now, people in the city refuse to let the people of Sunset Village go in for refuge. Most of the people can only die of disease or starvation. Only a few people are left to barely survive.”
"Does your homes always get flooded every time you rebuild them?" Yu Kun stroked his chin, and said with unusual seriousness, "There's something wrong with that..."
Feng Guang thought for a while, "Could there be some aquatic monster around here?"
Generally speaking, what can cause torrential rain and massive floods is either a water-related deity, such as a dragon, or a water-related monster, such as a dragon that has not yet fully grown. Since deities would not do anything to harm people, as that would be against their moral character, it can only be a monster.
"If there's a monster, why don't we go and investigate?" Yu Kun winked at Feng Guang.
Feng Guang's eyes twitched. "You go if you want. I don't want to meddle in other people's business."
