Hong Tianqing and the others fell into silence; the idea of marrying and having children had never crossed their minds—it was not something they dared to wish for.
Ever since the uprising, Hong Tianqing knew that every meal he ate could be his last. To live another day was all he could hope for.
Later, after leaving the East for America, although they weren't beheading people, they certainly weren't short on deeds that would cut off their line of descendants.
Hong Tianqing believed that if he ever had children, they would be doomed from the start, cursed to bear the weight of his sins.
Therefore, Hong Tianqing and his companions wouldn't marry or have offspring. They merely wished to live and die alone, taking their sins away from the world.
Upon hearing Zhu Wencong's words, Hong Tianqing wondered if marrying a White woman could spare him from these considerations.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Wencong did not understand their silence.
