"Why … Why do you listen to that cold-blooded devil? Don't you know that countless lives are at stake outside? How can you be so cold? Are you not a soldier?
You are not fit to wear this uniform … "
Shen Xue was being held by Huang Quan single-handedly as he dragged her towards the camp's confinement room. Shen Xue continued to struggle as her hair fluttered in the wind. She was still scolding Huang Quan. Huang Quan remained unmoved as he pressed Shen Xue down with a cold expression. The people on the side of the road looked at them, but they did not dare to get close. They could only look at Huang Quan and Shen Xue from afar.
"Why aren't you saying anything?
Are you feeling guilty, or are you afraid?
You are a coward, you are not fit to be a soldier … "
Shen Xue was not discouraged and continued to scold Huang Quan. She did not know that her words were taboo in Huang Quan's heart. He had once been scolded and humiliated by others, and this would forever be a thorn in his heart. It was a stain that he had to use the blood of hundreds of people to wash away.
"Shut up … What do you know?
It's not like you don't know about the food crisis. Once the base is instigated by someone, we will not be able to recover.
In the past, you only led a few dozen people to struggle, but Zhang Xiaoqiang had to lead tens of thousands of people to survive. He had to worry about his own people first. You are the only one who thinks that it is better to have one person alive than none. "
Huang Quan originally agreed with Shen Xue, but once he received an order, he would resolutely carry it out without any reason. Shen Xue's words were reasonable, but Zhang Xiaoqiang had to be responsible for tens of thousands of people. With different positions, he had to consider different things.
"Hmph!
Why do you have so many excuses? Let me go, I will walk on my own.
You say a thousand things and say ten thousand things, but it all boils down to one word – selfish. You only have yourselves, and you only think about yourselves. I'm afraid that if your base encountered the same danger, you would also abandon your followers and run away … "
When Huang Quan heard this, his heart was filled with anger. This woman really did not know what was good for her. He grabbed Shen Xue's hand and lifted it slightly. Shen Xue cried out in pain as her upper body was pressed down. She could only stare at her toes as she walked, but she still refused to admit defeat and continued to talk.
"Am I right?
Men aren't good people. All of you are selfish and cold-blooded. What would Chen Ye think if you became an accomplice?
Would you let the children who are being trained by you think that? "
Huang Quan didn't bother listening to Shen Xue's words anymore, only pressing her forward with a sullen face. They arrived at the camp's detention room. The camp's detention room was located in the most remote part of the camp, and it was used as a place to punish the members and militia members who made mistakes.
The camp would not take out a large amount of building materials to build a luxurious single room. Instead, they would casually dig a hole in the ground and expand it horizontally at the bottom. The inside of the hole would only allow people to sit and not lie down or lean against it. Their heads would be blocked by a soundproof wooden board. There was only darkness and silence inside, and coupled with the horrible stench, no one would want to stay inside for more than a second.
Originally, Huang Quan did not intend to use the Isolation Room on Shen Xue, and just locked her up in a small cell. It was just that Shen Xue did not know what was good for her, scolding Huang Quan and tearing open his reverse scale. She even scolded Zhang Xiao Qiang in a melodramatic manner. Towards this woman, Huang Quan only wanted to use the Isolation Room to deal with her, and could not think of anything else.
Shen Xue was pushed into the hole, and before she could feel the darkness and narrowness of the hole, she smelled a damp and foul smell. Many people had been locked up here, but no one had cleaned it up. The people in front of her had defecated and peed here, and the smell was definitely the best in the world. Shen Xue let out a shrill scream and jumped up from below, her arms grabbing onto the ground as she struggled to climb up.
A foot stepped on Shen Xue's cheek, and Shen Xue rolled her eyes and saw Huang Quan looking down at her with a frosty expression.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang took you in, gave you food, and gave you a place to use, but you didn't appreciate it. Behind his back, you scolded him because of a group of people who had nothing to do with you. The people outside accepted the camp's benefits, and although they didn't have enough to eat, no one starved to death. Even so, they almost caused the camp to be destroyed because of the incident. It was because of people like you that Zhang Xiaoqiang made such a decision. You didn't reflect on yourself, but always placed your hatred on others.
Do you think you're so noble?
What noble deeds have you done?
Other than opening your mouth and spouting nonsense, what else can you do?
Zhang Xiaoqiang is so despicable and cold in your words, but he took in tens of thousands of women and children, tightening his belt to provide them with food and water. Huang Tingwei is so cold-blooded in your eyes, but you're not even willing to look him in the eye. But from the first day he entered the camp, he secretly helped those children who were just a hair's breadth away from starving to death.
When they were saving the lives of tens of thousands of people, what were you doing?
When thousands of filthy children flooded into the camp, and the others were thinking of ways to take care of them, where were you?
When even Ding Luo was teaching those children, and he was busy arranging food and lodging for them, where were you? "
Hearing Huang Quan's words, a trace of panic flashed in Shen Xue's eyes. She didn't expect Huang Quan to remember these things so clearly. She was a clean freak, whether it was physically or mentally, and whenever she saw those dirty children and those skinny women, she felt disgusted. She hid in Xu Mengzhu's nest all day, doing whatever she liked. She didn't care about the outside world at all, thinking that it was Zhang Xiaoqiang and the camp's problem.
"You're just a hypocrite who talks nobly, but in your heart, you're more selfish than anyone else. The funny thing is, you still think that you're so noble, insulting those who are a thousand times more noble than you?
You don't have the right to say such things … "
After saying that, Huang Quan kicked Shen Xue down the hole, and casually slammed the thick wooden plank on the side of the hole and inserted the wooden bolt.
Looking at the slightly trembling thick wooden plank, listening to the weak and deformed shouts under the wooden plank, Huang Quan turned and left …
Not long after Huang Quan left, Huang Tingwei sneakily ran over to the wooden plank and reached out to pull the wooden bolt away. At this time, Shen Xue cursed him from under the wooden plank, cursing him to die a horrible death and die without descendants. Obviously, Shen Xue didn't wake up because of Huang Quan's words, or maybe she needed to vent in order to get rid of the fear and the unpleasant smell in the dark.
Hearing Shen Xue's curses, Huang Tingwei retracted his hand and slowly sat on the ground. The ground was very dirty, with all kinds of stains, but Huang Tingwei, who always loved cleanliness, didn't care about it. He sat on the ground and thought about his relationship with Shen Xue.
There were many women in the camp, and there were many who were more beautiful and gentle than Shen Xue. Because of Zhang Xiaoqiang's teasing, he started to pay attention to Shen Xue. Shen Xue was sometimes smart, sometimes muddle-headed, but when it came to relationships, she was an idiot. She treated Huang Tingwei attentively, sometimes passionately, like a good brother, and sometimes coldly, like a passerby.
Huang Tingwei wasn't a person who would give up easily. Since he had already made up his mind, he would fight for it and wouldn't blindly compromise. It was as if he was playing a game with Shen Xue.
Unknowingly, he and Shen Xue were walking together, and they were like a pair of true lovers. Although he didn't say it out loud, both of them knew what was going on. Originally, it was going to be smooth sailing. When they returned to the base, they would find a time to treat everyone to a meal and they would officially become husband and wife. He didn't expect Shen Xue to quarrel with him because of the retreat.
Men should be magnanimous. After Huang Quan left, he wanted to let Shen Xue out, but he didn't expect Shen Xue, who had always been elegant and intellectual, to have such a vicious side. Although her voice was weak and deformed, he could clearly hear Shen Xue's vicious curses, with his name appearing the most.
He was at a loss. All of a sudden, Shen Xue became a stranger in his eyes. He didn't know how he should face Shen Xue in the future. Maybe he had never understood her, and the warmth he felt when they were together was just his wishful thinking …
An hour later, Huang Tingwei opened the wooden board. Shen Xue no longer had the strength to hit the board or curse. She curled up into a ball in the innermost corner, and the sudden burst of light hurt her eyes. After a long time, she finally saw a calm Huang Tingwei standing outside, looking at her.
