Chapter 159: White River Night Boat(2/2)
Su Ming'an turned around and looked over, and saw a skinny child who was heavily pressed to the ground by Hui Shuhang's energy. A pool of bright red blood oozed from the ground. The child's hand was tightly holding a broken dagger.
Depending on the quality of the dagger, it doesn't matter whether it can kill someone.
The child was pressed to the ground and seemed to want to stand up. His struggling movements were very violent, but all he could get was a stain of blood that gradually stained.
Hui Shuhang wanted to kill her directly. But Su Mingan raised her hand and stopped her.
"——You robbed my father and my brother, leaving only my mother and me. My mother washed clothes all day long, and the money she got in exchange was not enough to fill her stomach... Later, the puppet soldiers came again, and even my mother was robbed.
Are you satisfied now that we are gone? Uncle Tom, Aunt Jie Lin... our whole village is gone!"
The clothes on the child looked very shabby, as if he was begging for a living in the city. His expression was crazy and full of fear, like a sudden rush of blood, and he was shrinking in the face of death.
When he saw that Su Ming'an didn't let anyone kill him, he immediately poured out all his words.
"——You levy taxes indiscriminately and pull people away when there is a war. We all have nowhere to go and we are about to die, but you look like you are living a comfortable life..." The child gritted his teeth: "Now you are showing another...
It's hypocritical to act like a good person! What? Everyone is watching you, don't you dare to kill me directly anymore? "
Su Ming'an looked around. The vendors who were hawking and the pedestrians who were passing by to watch the excitement all lowered their heads under his gaze, for fear of getting into trouble.
Even when the child was crying like this, no one said anything.
"What a disgusting rat." Hui Shuhang said, and the energy riot in his body became more obvious. The child was overwhelmed by the turbulent momentum. At this time, his face turned red, and he could not say the next words.
Su Ming'an knew this situation. The magic of the other world looked beautiful and could satisfy all people's fantasies about powerful power. But when this situation really existed, the class would be infinitely widened due to such a huge power gap.
Classes are solidified, and those in higher positions can easily take the lives of those in lower positions. Because the power gap is too large, those in lower positions cannot even resist.
If they cannot awaken an ability that can make them stand up, they may live in fear and submissiveness for the rest of their lives.
So...Su Ming'an understood how important Qin Wang's experimental results were.
But His Majesty the Holy Spirit was still eager to get rid of him.
Perhaps, His Majesty did not want such results to spread on the mainland and shake his rule. The experimental results would only be firmly in his hands, allowing him to expand his territory, develop new forces, and build
The new [prosperity].
"——[I hope that one day, my achievements will fly to every corner of the continent like the wind.]"
Facing the child's angry gaze, Su Ming'an said this in a very soft voice, so low that it was inaudible.
But Hui Shuhang heard it.
She tilted her head, her hands relaxed slightly, and she looked confused.
"[I want everyone to be able to live upright in the wasteland, I want them to no longer kneel down, and I want their blood to no longer be meaninglessly sprinkled into the soil. Those who want to leave will stay away from the war, and there will be wanderers who want to return.
You can go home.】
[——I will go to a grand death, but I want new-born birds, children who no longer cry, and grateful people to sing in front of my tomb.]"
Su Ming'an finished speaking slowly, tapped the palms of his hands, and smiled:
"...I see, I understand."
"What?" Hui Shuhang asked, slowly lowering his hand.
The child climbed up from the ground, seemingly without any thoughts of rushing forward. He glanced at Su Ming'an with a somewhat surprised look, then picked up the old dagger without looking back.
He rushed out.
The flow of people began to move slowly, but no one dared to look this way. They lowered their heads, everyone was in danger, as if they were avoiding the two of them, creating a big circle around Su Ming'an.
[Do good deeds in the "Ming" state and gain 1 career point]
"The reputation of the regular army doesn't look very good." Su Mingan knew that the "puppet army" the child mentioned was referring to the regular army.
"The people are always stupid. They don't understand the importance of [stability]." Hui Shuhang comforted him: "In order to fight against those disorderly revolutionary armies, war is a necessary sacrifice."
"——Then why did the revolutionary army come?"
Su Mingan said in a low voice.
Hui Shuhang blinked and tightened her hands, but said nothing.
"An endless cycle." Su Mingan said: "Under this pathological order, there will only be a steady stream of revolutionary troops appearing, and then there will be endless regular troops to conquer them..."
"I let that child go, and hatred will be buried in his heart. When he joins the revolutionary army in the future, he will remember the shame of today, and then repay this hatred to the enemy's regular army who stands in front of him.
"
"——But these people in the main army were obviously forcibly recruited from his village, innocent people."
"He thought that the enemy soldiers he was going to kill would be damned enemies. He thought he was avenging those who were pulled out to join the army, but no."
"His hatred is ultimately returned to the group of people he wants to save most, including himself."
"Sometimes the sharp blade is pointed at more than just the enemy. There is no difference in essence between the regular army and the revolutionary army. It is just a blade used by the superiors."
"This child will only kill his former self in the future - unless this war comes to a complete halt, no matter which side wins."
He said, slowly walking into the clothing store.
Hui Shuhang lowered her eyelids, and then, the warbler on her shoulder suddenly appeared.
"Your Majesty." She watched Su Mingan gradually melt into the shadows of the store, and then whispered to the warbler on her shoulder:
"...Can we really not trust His Highness even once? If it were His Highness..."
Her response was only silence.
