Chapter 2074 (Two Thousand and Seventy-Four) Significance
The other one holding the whip said to Tie Wandao, "I used to pay attention to him. He used to work very hard. One time he impressed me deeply because he seemed to work faster than those other idiots."

Another man holding a whip said, "Yes, I have some impression of him. He is one of the few people who can work efficiently. Of course, he is only more efficient than those other idiots."

"According to you, no one should have punished him recently?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I never punished him."

"I didn't punish him."

"What about you?" Tie Wandao asked the others holding whips, "Have you punished him recently?"

One person said: "I definitely haven't punished him recently. I don't remember if I did before."

"Neither have I lately," said another.

Tie Wandao suddenly wondered if this man's suicide was related to the death of another blue-armored man the day before, so he asked without thinking, "What is his relationship with the man who was beaten to death yesterday?"

"I never noticed it before," said a man holding a whip.

"I have never seen them talk to each other." Another man holding a whip said, "Chief, we don't know, maybe someone among the blue-armored people knows."

Tie Wandao just asked casually because he suddenly remembered that the blue-armored men were beaten to death the day before. He didn't care whether the truth was like that or not. He was too lazy to ask what was going on with those blue-armored men.

In fact, the suicide of the blue-armored man was indeed related to the beating death of another blue-armored man the day before, but it was not because of any reason such as his close relationship with that man.

The suicide had long felt that living under the oppression of the Tiecang people was meaningless, but he never showed it. Even the blue-armored people who lived with him didn't realize that he had been thinking about suicide. Despite this, he had been trying to live, just hoping to find an opportunity where he felt that his death was worthwhile. He did work harder than many blue-armored people, in order to avoid the Tiecang people from causing trouble for him and to prevent them from killing him before he found an opportunity that made him feel that his death was worthwhile. Although he knew that no matter how hard he worked, the Tiecang people could still find fault with him and cause trouble for him, but he felt that he had to try his best to save his life before he found an opportunity that made his death worthwhile. He also knew that this would make him more tired, but he insisted on doing so, as if this would make him not regret it. He felt that his life itself had no meaning, and hoped to give meaning to his death.

The day before, just after Tie Wandao left, two Tiecang people were staring at the Blue Armored Man and talking about whether the reason why the clan leader asked them to bury the Blue Armored Man who was beaten to death was because he was worried about bad luck. Long before one of the Tiecang people said, "Let's keep our noise down," a Blue Armored Man noticed the conversation between the two Tiecang people holding the whips. That Blue Armored Man was the one who later committed suicide next to the central pavilion.

When listening to the two Tiecang people talking about the issue of auspiciousness or not, the blue-armored man who later committed suicide thought carefully about Tie Wandao's previous reaction. He felt that if someone died next to the Qixing Zuiren Pavilion, it would likely make things unlucky and would be very detrimental to the Tiecang tribe.
