"No children..."
Hu Sandao was initially stunned, instinctively feeling that it wasn't strange for there to be no children, right?
But upon further thought, he immediately realized something was wrong...
How could there be no children!?
If there were no children in the village, wouldn't that mean the end of the lineage?
Moreover, throughout their journey here, they indeed hadn't seen a single child.
This subtle detail was almost imperceptible.
Yet, once Hu Sandao became aware of it, he felt a chill throughout his body.
Su Mo took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and distributed medicine pills to everyone.
While doing so, he turned to Hu Sandao, "Old Hu, when you came here last time, were there children?"
"..."
Hu Sandao paused for a moment, then began to ponder deeply:
"It seems like there were, but also as if there weren't..."
These words seemed both said and unsaid...
