Too Harsh

Since the meeting had ended in a confrontation, Wu Jian found himself wandering through the village with little to do. Youmei, Hou Jingshu, and Zhou Lihua were by his side. A heavy silence hung over them.

This village isn’t very big.

It was something he had already noticed, but it seemed the population in this village only measured in the hundreds, making it the smallest community he had visited. That also explained why his group drew so much attention. Villages like this were usually close-knit communities where everyone knew each other, and social life revolved around shared activities such as farming, fishing, and communal festivals.

That explained why nobody came up to them. While the villagers didn’t look at their group with suspicion or mistrust, he felt a definite sense of caution coming from the people around them. These people were wary of outsiders. It made this village feel like a microcosm of the Suit Kingdom as a whole.
