"This is right, but it's also wrong."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Actually, I can understand your brother's thoughts and why he did what he did." Wu Shudan sighed faintly, "Revenge is a tortuous and long process that tests people's hearts and humanity. The water in it is too Shen, just let him fall in alone, there is no reason why he should also throw you in, right?"
"But I am also a child of this family, and this is also my responsibility, isn't it?"
"Of course, you are right to think so. But what your brother wants is just to keep one person from the Shan family, so that the family will not perish." Wu Shudan smiled bitterly, "I believe that your fellow villagers Brothers think the same way. The reason why they agreed to help him cover up this lie and help him hide it from you was also because they thought of this. You are the witness that they once lived in this world, and you are the person who can truly live for them. . If they don’t get a happy death in the end, then you are the hope of that village. As long as you are here, that village will not be completely destroyed.”
"But I don't want to linger on!"
"Look, this is where the differences lie. Our relatives and friends always arrange everything for us and pave a road that they think is the best, under the guise of being good for us and considering us. But They have never thought about or asked us whether we are willing to choose the path they have chosen for us, whether we are willing to bear such a heavy price and live alone in this world, suffering from the pain in our hearts day and night. torment."
"That's right, I don't want to live like this! It's just you..." Shanda looked at Wu Shudan's miserable expression and frowned slightly, "Have you ever had such... experience with such emotion? ?”
"Didn't I just say that?" Wu Shudan raised his eyebrows, "I can feel the same way as you."
"Does that mean you have also been abandoned by your family?"
"Abandoned? Well, this word is accurate. In a sense, it is indeed abandoned."
"Adan!" Hei Lu'er grabbed his arm, "You..."
"It's rare to meet someone who has the same problem as you, my lord, please let me spit it out!" Wu Shudan raised an eyebrow at Hei Lu'er, then smiled at Shan, and said, "If you calculate it carefully, We should be about the same age, no more than five years old at most, right? It turns out that at home there are elders, older brothers, and friends who come to play. Moreover, we should all be the youngest in the family, and we are all influenced by the family. We are loved by people, and they will discuss many things behind our backs. Occasionally, we will bump into us, and we will ask a few questions, and we will be scolded, saying that this is an adult matter, and children should not mind it." See the kindness. He nodded frequently and shrugged, "Look, this is what they think is good for us. They don't let us know anything, and don't let us participate in anything. When something big happens and the world collapses, We were blinded by their implication. Their opponents would not let us go as they thought we knew nothing about their affairs, as they planned. Instead, they thought we were Their weaknesses are objects that can be used to blackmail them. If you want us to survive and keep a little incense for our family, then we must cooperate with them." He spread his hands towards Shanda, "Don't you think this narrative is very interesting? Sound familiar? Isn't this what you are experiencing now? If your brother really wants to save your life, he will naturally tell everything he knows. If he doesn't care that we use you to blackmail him..."
"No need to worry." Ah Piao walked in with the glass bottle and raised an eyebrow at Hei Lu'er and Wu Shudan who were looking over, "He has already made a choice and chose to sacrifice his biological brother." She shook the bottle in her hand towards Shanda, "I don't know what your brother is thinking. He could have told everything he knew and saved your life and the lives of those in the cell, but he chose to I must protect your master and ignore your blood feud."
"He...didn't say?"
"If you tell me, you won't have to suffer." Ah Piao placed the bottle in front of Shanda, glanced at the pile of confessions on the table, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that everyone knows it! I know that your brother is actually your master's absolute confidant. I know that your brother is not as unpopular and ostracized as he told you. I know that in fact, this mission is to bring you to die. Is it right?"
"……Yes, I understand."
"Then do you know that you are not actually his biological brother? In other words, you are not the real Shanda. The real Shanda had already died in the tragedy that destroyed his family many years ago."
"This... this..." Shanda's face turned pale and he looked at Ah Piao in disbelief, "How is this possible? This... this is absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. This is what your good brother said himself just now. He said that since the master's life can't be taken, he will take you, the accomplice's child, to the underworld together. When he gets down there, he will tell the elders, relatives and friends of the family There is also an explanation.”
"No! It's impossible, you're lying to me!"
"What reason do I have to lie to you?" Ah Piao raised her eyebrows slightly, "You don't know about your master, nor do you know what your good brother is plotting. We can't get anything from you at all. Useful news, whether to kill you or keep you is of no use." She looked at the glass bottle on the table, "However, your good brother promised us that if you can drink this thing, He just told us everything he knew." She shrugged, "Although we were deceived by him many times, we still decided to believe him once, and of course it was the last time. If we were still deceived, we... would send him, send him They're going down to meet you, so you don't have to worry about being lonely down there. So, I'm going to give you a choice, do you drink this yourself, or do I drink it for you?"
"What's this?"
"It will make your death less painful and leave this dirty world in a sweet sleep."
"It's not without problems for me to drink by myself, but..." Shanda took a deep breath, "Can you tell me, who am I?"
"You?" Ah Piao raised an eyebrow, "You can be considered Mr. Dashan's younger brother, but he is just a cousin. Your father is Mr. Dashan's father's youngest brother, and he is also the chief culprit of luring wolves into the house and colluding with foreign enemies."
