If they could leave, would they not leave? Would they stay in this county town to await death?
"Once a small half of our people leave, the rest will be unable to depart, and divine punishment will immediately descend, just like now. The shadow ice will continue to fall heavier and heavier until it crushes everyone in the county to death."
Then he turned his head to look at his two children.
"My two children can leave because they carry a heavier Ling Clan bloodline; otherwise, no one would know if all our people were crushed to death by the shadow ice!"
Yes, that's right.
"So this time, is it because many people left the county town?" Lin Caisang asked.
"No."
The man shook his head, denying her guess.
"Hardly anyone left the town, and those who did soon returned. Not many could leave – someone is in charge of the town; no one can leave as they please."
"Oh."
Lin Caisang nodded her head.
