After hearing what they said, Guo Xu was also confused.
This was the first time he heard someone ask if it hurt after being slapped in the face.
After driving away everyone around him, he called these dozens of people into a separate room.
The atmosphere in the room was depressing and dull, as if covered with a thick layer of frost.
Looking at the nervous crowd below, Guo Xu asked a question that even he found incredible.
"Were you kicked out?" His voice echoed in the quiet room with a hint of disbelief.
The crowd below was silent.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look Guo Xu in the eye.
After a long time, someone took the lead and nodded.
"Because I accidentally offended the lady..." His voice was low and hoarse, full of regret.
"It's our fault. We knew how Brother Che treated his family, but we still couldn't control our emotions." Another person went on to say, with tears in his voice.
"Yeah, there were so many people on the field at that time, and only a few of us couldn't control ourselves." Someone else echoed, his tone full of self-blame.
……
They only realized this belatedly. There were more than just them on the field at that time. But when they recalled it, some people around them were stunned for a moment before they recovered their composure.
Only because they refused to accept the truth and kept making noise and trouble did Brother Che drive them out.
Now that I think about it, Brother Che’s willingness to bring his wife out and introduce her to everyone is a sign of his trust in us all.
It's just that they didn't think the situation through at the time, and their minds were occupied by fear and irrationality, which led to such a stupid mistake.
Guo Xu listened to their regret and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Ever since the major lords opened up their territories, there have been complaints and grievances everywhere.
The miserable scene was like a doomsday tragedy, making one feel nervous.
In fact, the environment in all major territories was not good in the recent period, so it is normal for everyone to complain.
Due to the harsh conditions and scarce resources, even finding a place to stay has become a difficult task, and everyone is living in dire straits.
But now that the regional territories have been divided, there are much fewer complaints.
People gradually adapted to the new order and tried hard to survive in their respective territories.
There are more people on the cold front side, but everyone has become accustomed to the crowds.
The people over there are ready to die. Although they don't know why Leng Feng did this, everyone is ready to fight to the death.
Whenever you go there, you will feel the tragic and heroic atmosphere of facing death head-on.
Since then, there has been no more competition between the major territories.
Everyone fights for themselves, just to survive a moment longer in this cruel world.
Occasionally, someone will reminisce about the past environment.
This is the first time someone from Jiang Che’s side has come.
Everyone knew that his territory was in the suburbs and he had no residence.
The only place to live is Hongzhu Mental Hospital, but that place is not a residential area and looks very depressing.
Now seeing people coming from Jiang Che's territory, their first reaction was that these people were trying every possible way to escape, and it was only because Jiang Che was kind that he didn't kill them.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, kindness is often seen as weakness.
As for Guo Xu himself, if someone from his territory followed him and tried to escape from the battlefield, he would definitely not show mercy.
"What's the situation over there?" he asked slowly.
Suddenly, he was very curious about what the situation was over there.
Only in this way can this group of people speak for Jiang Che, and they will always think about that place even after they leave.
"It's just an ordinary life, nothing special." Someone whispered, avoiding the gaze.
"Yes, yes, it's just like everyone else, it's nothing."
"It's no different from here. I want to go back because my friends are all there..."
...They didn't even dare to say it because their family members were over there. When they thought about their family members following them out, they felt sad.
Hearing Guo Xu's question, everyone looked at each other and had already made plans in their hearts.
No matter how you ask, they won't tell you.
Guo Xu was stunned. He had seen people being united, but he had never seen people being so united even after being driven out.
The determination in their eyes shocked him.
They seemed to be really waiting for that chance to go home.
Even if this hope is slim.
"You can tell me." Guo Xu said again, with a little more earnestness in his tone.
There was anticipation in his eyes as he stared closely at the people in front of him.
"It's nothing, you misunderstood."
"It's very ordinary over there, but my good friends are still here and I can't bear to leave." Another person quickly echoed.
……
"I asked Xiong Jie to bring my family to your place." After thinking for a moment, Guo Xu told them about it.
His expression was somewhat complicated, with a hint of uneasiness and anticipation.
"I'll know sooner or later."
"I'm just a little curious, so I wanted to ask you." He said and walked down to sit with them.
I pulled up a chair and sat next to the crowd, as if I were one of them.
After hearing Guo Xu's words, everyone was stunned.
Then I remembered that Xiong Jie and Guo Xu did talk a lot in private.
He sat quietly, waiting for them to share the situation of Jiang Che's copy with him.
"Over there, it's really a very ordinary life." This time, someone spoke.
But the voice was very soft.
This time, the ordinary he mentioned was different from before.
"It's very ordinary. You need to work during the day. You can go to the cafeteria to eat when you are hungry. You will be paid for your work, and you can exchange it for energy balls to make yourself stronger." The person spoke in a steady and soothing tone.
“Besides that, there are all kinds of scenery, you can take a walk in the evening and look at the stars at night.”
"There's an amusement park nearby. Xiong Jie said that Brother Che didn't forbid anyone from going there." Someone laughed.
Although it was built for Ding Ning at that time, Jiang Che did not stop everyone from having fun.
Because of the amusement facilities, it is fun only when everyone plays together.
"That Ferris wheel is a project I participated in. I wonder what kind of scenery Brother Che sees from it. I haven't even been up there yet." The man's words were a little regretful, but also full of pride.
……
When talking about territory, this group of people started talking at once.
The words came out like a string of cannonballs, one after another, and there was no way they could stop.
Guo Xu lost consciousness.
He didn't expect that the "ordinary" they mentioned was so ordinary.
This is indeed too ordinary, because this is just the life that all ordinary people live every day before the evil spirit comes.
Casual and comfortable.
But now, such an ordinary life has become an unattainable luxury.
It seemed like his wife and children had really gone to a good place.
After saying this, the group of people stood up, bowed to him, and slowly left.
Guo Xu understood their mentality for the first time. After knowing that his wife and children had gone to such a good place, he did not want to let outsiders know and destroy their ordinary and peaceful life. (End of this chapter)
