Chapter 1446: Let's destroy everything together

~8 min read 1,429 words

"... I told them not to give birth anymore, not to give birth anymore. But they said 'more children, more happiness,' and that if there are many sons, no one will dare to bully them. Yes, no one bullies them. They are so poor they have to sell fields and land, and when they get sick, they don't dare to invite a doctor; who would bother to bully them!

Do you think they love their children? The sixth and seventh children didn't even have shoes in the middle of winter, their pants were short, and they were freezing and running noses every day, and no one cared. The eighth child had no milk to drink, not even rice soup, and finally starved to death. Dead is dead... As a result, they were still thinking about that little thing on the bed, and wanted to continue giving birth... So poor they couldn't even eat a full meal, yet they still wanted to give birth...

The fourth child went to catch fish in the middle of winter and fell into the river, and there was no money to invite a doctor. I risked everything to borrow money to invite a doctor, but they scolded me for being a prodigal son, increasing the burden on the family. Me borrowing money to see a doctor for the fourth child was increasing the burden, but them giving birth to children was not a burden, but 'more children, more happiness'! May I ask Warden Chen, where is the happiness in my family?

When I passed the Child Scholar exam, they were overjoyed, all boasting about their foresight, that they had bet right by giving birth to so many children! You didn't see their appearance; at that moment, I felt I was very abnormal, because I didn't feel any glory for my ancestors, I only felt very disgusted! My efforts became their excuse to keep giving birth to children, and it also received the approval of the neighbors... Hahaha..."

Du Xiuwen's emotions were very agitated, agitated to the point of gritting his teeth.

At this moment, he completely revealed his heart, exposing his most unbearable side, the "unbearable thoughts" not accepted by the secular world.

He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Long enough that he had forgotten when he started to develop hatred for those two people!

"The children born into my mother's belly must have committed many evils in their previous lives, and were born to suffer in this life. Except for me and my eldest sister, who had a few good years in our early years, the younger brothers and sisters below all suffered from childhood to adulthood! They didn't have a single day of happiness!

In a harvest year, at least there was something to eat. When the famine year arrived, I, a scholar, had the imperial court's grain supply, and I was still hungry. The younger brothers and sisters didn't even have to think about it! I thought this was already miserable enough, already the limit. But I didn't expect that I still underestimated them! To be precise, I underestimated human nature!"

At this point, Du Xiuwen suddenly fell silent, refusing to continue.

It seemed unspeakable, incomparably angry and disgusted!

He hammered the prison bars fiercely, and his lips were bitten until they bled.

After a long time, he sighed, "It's all heaven's will! If there were only four or five people in the family, relying on my scholar merit, relying on the little grain issued by the imperial court, we could have completely survived the famine! Alas, alas... Warden Chen, when I was arrested, how many people were in my family?"

Chen Guanlou recalled the case file, "Just your family, not counting clan relatives, not counting grandparents, not counting the eldest sister and third sister who were married off, there were six people in your family!"

"My family should have had nine people!" Du Xiuwen laughed at himself, "In the case file, you shouldn't have seen my seventh, ninth, and tenth siblings, right."

Chen Guanlou was a bit confused, "Ten siblings in your family? Not eight?"

Too good at reproducing!

Du Xiuwen laughed, "You really underestimated them, underestimated their obsession! Just like you said, passing on the family line, 'more children, more happiness,' it's just like a religious belief, the same virtue! Guess where my seventh, ninth, and tenth siblings went? They all died! Dismembered and skinned, dead thoroughly! The viciousness of human nature is simply beyond your imagination!"

"Starved to death?"

Du Xiuwen shook his head slowly, his expression painful and hateful, "I had classmates who could borrow money and borrow grain. Added to the grain issued by the imperial court, although we couldn't eat our fill, we wouldn't starve to death. But it was them... they hadn't eaten meat for too long, and wanted to eat meat... When someone who was hungry and crazy proposed to them... they didn't even hesitate and agreed directly!

When I heard the news and rushed home, the ninth and tenth were already gone, and the seventh had already been disemboweled and was dead beyond death! Hahaha... 'more children, more happiness,' 'more children, more happiness'... Hahaha... they are worse than beasts, they are demons, they should die, they all should die... People who can't afford to raise children but keep giving birth to children should all die!

They don't like children at all; children are tools, tools to bring glory to their ancestors. I, Du Xiuwen, passed the scholar exam and brought glory to my ancestors. However, the credit is all theirs; they rely on giving birth to children to bring glory to their ancestors! And it received the approval of everyone! Hahaha... I am very glad I didn't get married and didn't have children. Otherwise... the one who died would very likely be my child, my wife... Hahaha..."

He was crazy!

Chen Guanlou was very sure.

From the moment he knew the truth, Du Xiuwen was crazy!

The pain in his heart was hard to heal.

The anger in his heart was even harder to calm!

Kill everyone!

But why should he bear the curse of being unfilial for that group of beasts! Why should he be stigmatized!

No!

Then let's destroy everything!

What could be more thorough than dying by revolt.

Extermination of the nine clans!

Satisfied!

All dead, let's destroy everything together!

It all makes sense.

The anticlimactic revolt, the surrender, were all for one word: kill!

Kill everyone!

No one is innocent; everyone is guilty, everyone should die!

The imperial court should die, the government should die, officials should die, the wealthy should die, commoners should die, starving people should die!

Let them all go to hell!

With his own strength, he destroyed at least half the people in the county!

Awesome!

A lunatic among geniuses!

Seriously speaking, this is the first time in his life Chen Guanlou has seen such a crazy person! The Great Ming Prince is only worthy of being called a younger brother in front of him!

"Scholar Du, I misunderstood you before, sorry. You are awesome!"

Du Xiuwen laughed until tears came out, his expression both painful and satisfying! In the end, there was more pain.

Chen Guanlou suddenly understood why the other party tried to commit suicide! The pain of being clear-headed is unbearable!

"Actually, sometimes I regret it quite a bit, regret reading too many books, regret taking the imperial exam. If I had read less, perhaps I would only hate, but I wouldn't think about why I hate, why it became like this. If I hadn't passed the exam, they wouldn't have boasted, and wouldn't have encouraged more poor families to give birth to children."

"Do you want to live?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Du Xiuwen shook his head, "I have lived enough; I hope to go to the execution ground as soon as possible and finish this life. Living is really too painful, too uncomfortable! Warden Chen, thank you, thank you for listening to my complaints."

"When did you start hating them?"

Du Xiuwen pondered for a while and shook his head, "I don't quite remember. I clearly hated them, it should have been when I was fourteen or fifteen. They didn't care after giving birth, only caring about their own pleasure. I reminded them repeatedly not to give birth, not to give birth, the family was already very poor, and we couldn't add any more mouths, there wasn't that much food. But they said I was unfilial, meddling in my parents' affairs." ===== CHAPTER 1447 =====
