Gu Hengzhi walked on the way back, recalling where he had seen that person before as he walked. When he saw the corpse at Li Xueyan's house that day, his face had already begun to decay, and to be honest, Gu Hengzhi didn't see the person's appearance very clearly.

And if you remember a person, the first characteristic to remember is probably the eyes.

Especially when others have different expressions and look at them with different emotions, that kind of expression is most likely to be imprinted in people's memories.

It's as if Li Xueyan has a smile in her tone every time she talks about new food, and her eyebrows are dancing, her appearance is the most profound in Gu Hengzhi's impression. So every time Gu Hengzhi thought of Li Xueyan, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

Gu Hengzhi was stupidly happy for a long time, and when he found that passers-by seemed to be looking at him differently, he suddenly remembered that he was distracted again. He hurriedly calmed down, restrained his overflowing emotions, and put his mind back on business.

Gu Hengzhi was very reluctant to think about it, but he still carefully recalled the appearance of the corpse in his mind.

Where have I seen it, and where have I been some time ago...... Gu Hengzhi kept asking himself in his heart.

Gu Hengzhi really couldn't think of a result, so he decided to walk around first.

This is Gu Hengzhi's habitual way of decompression, from childhood to adulthood, every time he encounters something that is difficult to solve, or when he is worried, he will choose to walk around to relax. But in fact, walking is not his way of distracting, the main thing is to see other people's lives.

There are many times when you put yourself in the middle of many things and encounter a bottleneck in your thinking, and at this time, you need other people's opinions to solve the problem for yourself. But Gu Hengzhi didn't have anyone else around him to help him, so his sister told him to go and see other people's lifestyles and find the answer for himself.

This is what Gu Hengzhi taught him when he was young, and Gu Hengzhi has always remembered it.

He walked on a slightly remote road in the town, where the locals rarely walked, but there were many outsiders on the road.

Especially the displaced people from other places.

Gu Hengzhi remembered that at the beginning, their county would also help the homeless. In the beginning, the prefectural magistrate really had a very sincere sympathy for those displaced people, and he had generously helped them. But what was supposed to be a good starting point turned into a bad starting point before you knew it.

In such a war-torn era, where to settle down is very important to those displaced people, so the fact that they can get help in their county is crazy spread all around. As a result, the number of people who came to them for refuge increased rapidly, so much so that even if the county magistrate was so sympathetic to them, there was no way to help more people.

So later, the county ordered that the displaced people should not be allowed to come in, so those who could not catch up with the rescue could only crowd on this road.

Gu Hengzhi looked at those people, turned his head a little unbearably, and forced himself not to look at them.

This kind of scene is really uncomfortable, no matter how much Gu Hengzhi wants to help them in his heart, but in the end, he can only do nothing but find his weakness, which will only make him more uncomfortable. Gu Hengzhi is not a great benevolent person, and the Gu family is not charitable, so he only does not help those people by himself.

When passing by them, Gu Hengzhi felt sorry for them and thought of himself at the same time. Or in addition to himself, there are also those who are in the same state of food and clothing as him. They can be said to have nothing to do every day, and even if there is anything, they are not like these people, who worry about survival.

In this way, they will sometimes complain that they get too little, people, they are so greedy.

Gu Hengzhi walked and walked, didn't hold back, glanced to the side, and suddenly remembered something from the eyes of one of the people looking at him.

The man looked at him with obvious resentment, Gu Hengzhi didn't know what such resentment was for. In his memory, it seemed that someone had stared at him like this, but he couldn't remember who that person was.

After Gu Hengzhi met his gaze, that person did not have any timidity at all. It was as if the two of them were some kind of enemies, but Gu Hengzhi didn't remember when he had offended such a person.

But anyway, Gu Hengzhi didn't have anything to do today, and he didn't think about the question clearly, so he decided to talk to this person.

"Why are you looking at me like that, we know each other?" Gu Hengzhi said.

The man snorted disdainfully, but he shook his head for Gu Hengzhi's face.

Gu Hengzhi was helpless, "Since you don't know me, what are you staring at me for?" ”

"What am I glaring at you for? If you don't do anything, I just hate people like you. ”

Gu Hengzhi was even more inexplicable, "People like us? What kind of person are you referring to? What's more, did people like us provoke you and provoke you? If someone else has done something to you, then you won't hate me, it's better to kill a boatload of people with a rod. ”

"Huh! Our own home was destroyed by those soldiers who were fighting, and there was no way to come all the way here, but we couldn't get in, so many people could only crowd together on this broken road, isn't it because of you? ”

"Why because of us? And what did we do? ”

"You rich children who have no worries about food and clothing, you can decide the life and death of others based on your preferences alone, and of course you will not understand the pain of those who are determined to live and die! You powerful people, as long as you tell the county lord that you don't want us poor people to enter the county, then they will definitely lock us out without saying a word! And then what are you doing here now? Come and see what you're doing? See? Happy?! His voice suddenly sharpened.

Gu Hengzhi was angry and a little funny, and said helplessly: "That has nothing to do with me, I'm just ...... here."

"You say it's okay, it's okay? Who knows what the hell you sanctimonious people are up to behind your back?! Before Gu Hengzhi finished speaking, he was angrily interrupted by this person, and his righteous words were as if he were talking about some well-known facts.

For a while, the people around looked over, some were simply watching, and some were just as malicious as this person, as if they would fall to such a point, it was all Gu Hengzhi's fault.

Gu Hengzhi is a little angry even if he has a good temper, being talked about indiscriminately like this, no one will lose his temper.

"Enough of that?" Gu Hengzhi waited for him to finish, and glanced at the person who spoke and the indignant audience around him. Gu Hengzhi's voice was not very angry, but it was very cold. It's so cold that in a weather like this, which is not too cool, some of them can't help but get goosebumps.

"Enough of that? What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say? Although the person who quarreled with Gu Hengzhi was also a little cowardly under his gaze, it was probably because so many people were watching now, and if he admitted defeat too quickly, he would not be able to get off the stage, so he said stubbornly.

Gu Hengzhi could see his situation, but he didn't plan to give him a step.

"I don't have much to say to you, because you are indeed pitiful, but pity does not mean that you can rely on such an identity to talk nonsense and do whatever you want. It doesn't mean that you can ignore the truth and blame others for all your experiences, or you are completely irrelevant people. ”

"You don't talk nonsense......"

"Am I talking nonsense? Don't you admit your pity now? Or do you really think it's because of me that you're like this? I can understand that starving for a long time will lack the ability to think, but starving doesn't make your brain hungry, right? Like what you just said, it's not that I have a problem, it's not that I'm here to laugh at you, it's that you yourself put yourself in the position of the weak, do you have paranoia of victimization? ”

After Gu Hengzhi's words were finished, none of those people spoke out to refute, I don't know if they didn't dare to refute, or if they had nothing to say.

"Yes, you are pitiful, but others are not obligated to help you again and again. Instead of complaining that our county is no longer helping you now, you should think about why. Because there are too many people, there are too many people to save! How much grain is there in the county government to feed you? When we are this treasury is inexhaustible? Won't you figure it out by yourself if there is no one to help you? Do you think you have an obligation to help because you pity others? ”

Gu Hengzhi glanced around, these people were indeed pitiful. In particular, some women with children in their arms looked at them with blank eyes and seemed to be still afraid.

Gu Hengzhi was very helpless in his heart, why didn't he want to help them? How could he be willing to watch these people displaced? But he was defeated by powerlessness.

"If someone else comes here today, if he looks fierce and vicious, if he brings a bunch of followers, do you dare to do this? I advise you to use your brains in the future, for yourself and for the sake of others around you. Gu Hengzhi didn't want to say anything about them anymore, in the end, he was just a pitiful person.

Gu Hengzhi had just turned around and hadn't taken two steps when he heard the person behind him suddenly speak,

"It's not like we haven't tried to think of a way ourselves, but the people who went in with others never came back."

Gu Hengzhi's footsteps stopped instantly, and he suddenly remembered the resentment that the person had when he looked at him before, why it was so familiar, and he also remembered where he had seen the dead person.

On this street, the same person was like this, looking at him with resentment and anger in his eyes.

"Who are you talking about? With whom did you go and where? Why didn't you come back? Gu Hengzhi turned around with a series of questions, almost confusing that person.

He just complained casually, but he didn't expect this matter to make this man care so much. For a while, Gu Hengzhi's image in his eyes immediately improved a lot. Under Gu Hengzhi's inquiry, he told what he knew.

He said that he met a man on the way here, and the two were quite close together, plus they were both alone, so they had a companion.

As a result, the other day, someone came to ask them if they wanted to find something to do, and the man who was with him went with them, told him to wait here, and said that if he could, he would come back and tell him.

To put it bluntly, they go on an adventure first, after all, they don't trust the people who come to them very much.

As a result, his companion never came out, he tried to go in but was stopped outside, he was not allowed to enter the city, and he did not know whether the companion inside was dead or alive, after all, news from the city rarely came out.
