"Has it always been this way, then is it right?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly embodied the "Tree Man," leaving King Xishan speechless.
"The times are changing, and we must change with them, just like the Mountain Barbarians of these villages. Their lives are naturally ordained—some weave, others hunt and fish, nestled in a mountain, well-fed and satisfied. The rest of their time is spent worshipping the gods,
but they will eventually change too. They'll come out from the depths of the mountains, smoke tobacco, ride electric trams, enter schools, wear sports uniforms, and play tennis..."
"They won't be able to leave."
"As far as I know, Shi Family Village has businesses renting out carriages in Mingjiang Prefecture, and Liuyun Village operates enterprises in Bailemen. Some have already ventured out, and more will inevitably follow. The Mountain Barbarians of today will become the civilized people you so disdain."
