Chapter 86: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 86: Naive Xutian
"Stop!"
"What are you doing!"
"We can give you the money, just don't kill the innocent!"
Just then, Xu Tian rushed out.
"You want money, right? I can give you money, just don't kill the innocent," Xu Tian said.
"Oh!"
Brother Hei turned around and sneered, "Where did this philanthropist come from? Do you think a little money can buy everyone's lives?"
"What do you want then!" Xu Tian shouted angrily, "You can rob for money, but why kill people!"
"Fool!" A nearby bailiff couldn't help but curse quietly. Although his voice was low, it was still heard by everyone.
Brother Hei laughed heartily, "Do you see that? Your companions are mocking you. You actually think... Haha... Interesting, very interesting."
Brother Hei couldn't help but laugh out loud, clearly amused by Xu Tian's selflessness.
"Tsk tsk, do you also want to be a hero?"
"Here's the deal, kneel down and beg me, and I'll spare them!"
"You..."
Brother Hei suddenly had a good idea and ordered his men to keep an eye on the Chen family's carriage while he walked towards Xu Tian.
Approaching Xu Tian, he looked back at the bailiffs and prisoners. "I can spare you, but he has to kowtow to me. How about that?"
"So vicious!"
"This is heartless!"
Many people witnessing this scene couldn't help but feel a chill.
Other prisoners and bailiffs looked at each other, then gritted their teeth. Even if they die, they won't let Xu Tian sacrifice his dignity.
"Xu Tian, did you hear that? As long as you kneel down, we can all survive!"
"Yeah, didn't you just ask them not to kill us? Now they've given us a chance!"
"That's right, if you kneel down and kowtow to them, you won't lose much."
The crowd criticized Xu Tian, as if not kneeling down and kowtowing would be unforgivable.
Xu Tian, seeing this, became very upset. He had never imagined that these people would...
"Haha!"
Brother Hei and his men watched and laughed heartily.
"Do you see that? They're attacking each other. How entertaining!"
Brother Hei looked at Xu Tian and taunted, "How about it? Have you considered it? As long as you kneel down, you can save so many lives. Isn't it worth it?"
Xu Tian's face was full of conflict. "A man's knees should only bend for heaven, earth, parents, and the emperor. Why should I kneel to anyone else?"
"But if I do, can you really spare them?" Xu Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Why?" The man frowned, seeming unwilling to see Xu Tian do this. "Are they worth it?"
"Haven't you heard what they said? They are so selfish. Even if you sacrifice your dignity, will they truly thank you when they survive?"
Xu Tian looked around at the trembling women, the elderly with hunched backs, and the frightened children clinging to their mothers.
"There are many innocent people here. They haven't done anything wrong, but have been implicated by their families and have lost their futures. I don't want them to lose the last thing they have left!"
Xu Tian's words made the accusing prisoners feel ashamed. Xu Tian was right; they were at fault, but their families were innocent, yet they had been implicated.
"If sacrificing my dignity can save these people, then it's worth it," Xu Tian said, looking at the man with a bitter smile. "You can call me foolish or naive."
"Because I know the pain of loss, and I don't want these people to experience that kind of suffering!"
PS: I went to set up a stall tonight, didn't earn a penny, but ended up losing 7 yuan instead. (T_T)
