According to normal reasoning, a villager being beheaded in public is undoubtedly a very despairing matter.
Even if they're not weeping openly, shouldn't there at least be some screaming?
If that's not possible, they could at least tremble a little while clutching their skirts, or at least show some expression. Why are their actions so stiff?
Haven't they learned anything about an actor's self-cultivation?
Yuchi was utterly bewildered by the villagers' reactions.
At the center of the village, the villagers gathered together.
The calmness they displayed sent a shiver down Yuchi's spine.
He even saw indifference in their eyes.
As if the deceased wasn't one of their kin, like seeing a wilted flower, or just merely a fallen leaf.
Exaggerating further, it was as if it were just a ripple on the river during a rainy day.
Are you kidding me? Are the villagers' mindsets really that resolute?
"A little expression, maybe?"
