Chapter 683: Prepared to Die

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Sanniang heard the man emphasize a few times that she would die.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you so certain that I would die?”

The fierce-looking man glanced at Liu Sanniang and explained coldly, “Our chief likes to test human nature. After passing the test, your family will be safe. If you can’t pass the test, I don’t know what will happen. No matter if you can pass the test or not, you definitely won’t live. We are not brigands for no reason.”

“Look at my saber. It’s taken many lives.”

The fierce man waved his saber and casually cut off the tree branch beside him to let Liu Sanniang see that the blade of the saber was sharp.

Liu Sanniang felt terrible. Her child was still so young. Without her, would Chu Yan and her daughter be very sad?

The fierce man was suddenly sympathetic of Liu Sanniang.

“Think about it this way. It’s worth it to exchange your life for so many lives. They’re all people you care about. If you can save them, you’ll be happy, right?”

The man’s words reminded Liu Sanniang of something. The man looked fierce, but his words were very useful. He made Liu Sanniang realize what she would face and what her ending would be.

Liu Sanniang thought it through and nodded. “Thank you for telling me so much. I don’t care what kind of person your chief is, but I hope he can let my family go. If he wants to take my life, so be it.”

It was worth it if she could exchange her life for the safety of her family.

Liu Sanniang did not know why she did not report it to the authorities. Perhaps she was also frightened.

No matter how fast the soldiers rushed to the mountain, they could not outpace the saber. Liu Sanniang didn’t and couldn’t afford to take a gamble. iWith mixed feelings, Liu Sanniang walked into the den.

The fierce man told Liu Sanniang along the way how to pass the test.

From what the man said, Liu Sanniang realized that her death to save her family seemed to be the best scenario.

The den was big and could accommodate hundreds of people. Along the way, people sized up Liu Sanniang with strange gazes and chatted and laughed.

When they arrived at a place, the fierce man stopped. “Your family is locked up in here. You can go in and take a look.”

Liu Sanniang looked at the fierce man and couldn’t help but ask, “Thank you. Why did you help me?”

The fierce man sneered and corrected her. “I’m not helping you. It’s my responsibility to tell this to everyone who was captured here.”

The fierce man was telling the truth.

Liu Sanniang said again, “Thank you.”

Perhaps letting her know this was also part of the game, but knowing more was better than knowing nothing. The more she knew, the more advantageous it was to her.

“There’s no need to thank me. If you really want to blame someone, blame your family for being too happy. Our chief will only choose harmonious and happy families. He said that it’s only when he sees such a happy family collapse and reveals the evil of human nature that he will be happy.”

“I’ve seen a lot. They were originally harmonious and happy, but between life and death, they revealed the ugly side of human nature vividly. In this world, there’s no good person. If you’re willing to die for your family, you’ll be fine. If you’re unwilling, not only will you die, your family will die with you.”

After saying that, the fierce man pushed open the door and let Liu Sanniang in.

Liu Sanniang already had a grasp of what was going on. From the moment she came, she had fallen into a trap. Her only choice was death.

No matter what, she would die. She had no way out, but before that, she would let her family escape.

After entering the house, Liu Sanniang saw more than ten men with hostile expressions. They glanced at Liu Sanniang and said coldly,

“You’re really brave. Your family is locked up inside. Go and seize the time to catch up with them. In four hours, it will be dark. Once it’s dark, the game will begin.”

Liu Sanniang staggered. Not far inside, she saw a cell-like space. Her family was all inside. Liu Sanniang pounced over and shouted in a choked voice, “Father, Mother.”

When Madam Wei and Mr. Liu saw Liu Sanniang, they were extremely anxious. They couldn’t help but scold, “What are you doing here? You fool, you know it’s a trap. Why are you jumping into it?”

Mr. Liu and Madam Wei felt terrible.

They were going to offer incense in a temple on the mountain, but unexpectedly, they were caught by a group of brigands.

After being locked up here, their family was drugged and did not have strength to struggle. After listening to the guard, they understood what was going on.

The brigands wanted money as well as lives.

In other words, no matter how much money Liu Sanniang brought, she was destined to die here.

From the bottom of their hearts, Mr. Liu and Madam Wei hoped that Liu Sanniang would not come. However, when Liu Sanniang came, their hearts ached and they were filled with despair.

Tang An and Ye Niuniu were both carrying their children. They were grateful to Liu Sanniang and felt sorry for her. “Father and Mother are right. You shouldn’t have come. What will happen to Yan and Xiang’er if you are gone?”

Liu Sanniang’s arrival meant that they might live, but Liu Sanniang would not. She was already a married woman and had a daughter. Just thinking about her tragic ending made people’s hearts ache.

Tang An and Ye Niuniu felt guilty about using Liu Sanniang’s life to exchange for their lives.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were the same.

Everyone in the Liu family hoped that Liu Sanniang would not come.

Tears streamed down Liu Sanniang’s face. “Father, Mother, stop it. You love me and protect me. How can I abandon you? I believe that if I’m in your situation, you will do the same to save me. If I’m gone, please help me take care of Xiang’er.”

She was left with no choice but to let Chu Yan down. It was impossible for her to abandon her family.

This was the family who had loved her for two lifetimes.

Making this choice was undoubtedly painful, but she had no other choice.

The Liu family was sobbing and could not speak..
