Chapter 80: Thoughts Upon Getting Published (On the Deaths of Zuo Duanshou and Little Stool)
Life is unpredictable.
Large intestine wrapped around small intestine.
Regarding Zuo Duanshou, I have feelings for him.
From rescuing his sister as the prologue, to rescuing his sister as the epilogue, this affectionate and righteous young man, like so many heroic figures buried in desolate graves during chaotic times, often hasn’t yet matured before being crushed into dust by unexpected incidents.
Just as some people ask why stories always start with crossing timelines with characters, Zuo Duanshou is an example. If you start with a native character, there will be various character flaws, such as recklessness, passion, and disregard for life and death.
His death was foreshadowed time and again in previous texts. He had talent, tenacity, was ruthless to himself and others. However, he had shortcomings, and in that era where civilians were as light as dust, as long as the flaw of hot-bloodedness existed, it was bound to lead to his downfall.
As I write further, I didn’t even give him a name, actually, he had one; he was called Zuo Li, meaning departure.
Little sister Zuo Xiaoyuan, as a continuation of his life, will have a role in the follow-up.
Of course, it will no longer be a tragedy.

Little Table and Little Stool are relatively underdeveloped characters.
Little Table is somewhat conservative, able to endure humiliation for greater goals; Little Stool is angry at the world, outwardly submissive, inwardly strong.
Thus, it’s Little Stool who dies...
The unwritten subplot was that after being captured, he couldn’t endure humiliation and chose to curse profoundly, intending to bite off a piece of the Hu People with his reddened eyes, resulting in his humiliating death.
Their encounters laid seeds at the beginning. When the protagonist saw through Tan Sihai’s delaying tactics and planned to leave at night, they were reluctant to leave... simply because that courtyard was genuinely good and truly stable.
They couldn’t see the situation, couldn’t recognize human nature, and always held optimistic fantasies about life, thinking everything would develop in a positive direction.
As a result, they faced obstacles everywhere.
Some people are always like this, not having known hardship can’t be mature, never hit hard can’t lose innocence. In a cruel society, disasters strike suddenly, and by the time regret is understood, it’s already too late.
Little Stool died a regrettable death, the two brothers, even facing death, didn’t reveal the existence of Fireworks Alley’s secret passage.
Not a waste for several to rely on each other for survival, brotherhood once.
Little Table will not die; he will live out the brilliance of two people, and have a role later on.
