Gu Chen sat cross-legged on the roof of the car, looking at the pioneers lighting bonfires in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Promoting armored vehicles in Liyang Territory" is the current business policy of Gewufang, and the Pioneer's plan to switch to a professional car crew is mature, which is quite good news for this. This will certainly not dampen the mood of the owner of Gewufang, but
In terms of objective facts, Gu Chen's emotions have been hovering below the horizontal line during this period of time——
It was obviously a joyful drive through the wilderness, but my mood was unexpectedly low.
This is of course an abnormal situation.
As for the reason why it became abnormal, Gu Chen also knew something about it.
The last time he talked about the topic of the earth side with Guo Bei and others, the inexplicable nostalgia that came out of it was like dark clouds gathering to cover the sun, making him feel hard to feel cheerful. Although he tried hard to get rid of this gloomy mood,
In the eyes of those who don't know, it is a sign of silence all the way.
The performance of the leader naturally affected the atmosphere of the convoy, and even Guo Beishazu and others could not talk happily. Gu Chen was also aware of this to some extent, so when he stopped at the market town, he used the excuse of repairing the armored vehicle to hide out and be alone, leaving everyone alone.
Be able to relax at ease.
"It's so immature to behave like a child venting his anger..."
Gu Chen smiled bitterly. At that time, a cold wind blew by, and he shivered slightly, looking up at the night sky.
It was past dusk, and there was a dark moon hanging in the sky. Compared with the big moon that I had seen since childhood, the dark moon in the sky at this moment not only had a larger visual projection, but also had a subtle difference in color and texture - Cheng
The people on the yellow side call it "Sizhao". It can also be said that as long as you look up at the moon of Sizhao with its green and white luster, you can clearly confirm the fact that you are in another world.
The dimly shining Moon of Sizhao in the sky, if it were such a beautiful scenery in normal times, would have made Gu Chen excited, but at this moment, it only confirmed the fact of being exiled again, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable sadness.
Thinking of the moon and the scenery of my hometown.
Thinking of the atmosphere of my hometown and my relatives and friends in my hometown.
This sentimental feeling of missing my hometown no matter what, can probably be called "nostalgia"? While confirming this, Gu Chen couldn't help but have doubts, that is, it has been more than half a year since he traveled through Chenghuang, why is it still happening now?
Do you care about this?
No, that's not right. Gu Chen shook his head.
It's not "until now", but this gloomy mood has existed since the day he was suddenly exiled to Chenghuang. Although he has never paid attention to it, his words and deeds have always been affected by it.
The most obvious example is probably the exaggerated resume of those adventures before and after the establishment of Gewufang. Gu Chen is a master, and it is said that the master is a profession similar to engineers who live and create things. However, his resume of wilderness adventures
, from conquering the palace to conquering the wasteland lord, even if measured by the standards of pioneers, the intensity is jaw-dropping.
Although he was influenced by his grandfather since childhood, he does like traveling or taking risks. There is no doubt about this. However, when he was on Earth, this tendency was definitely not as strong as it was on Earth! Why did he become so intense after Cheng Huang?
"What on earth is..."
Gu Chen scratched his head in frustration and asked himself.
Traveling back to the beginning of Cheng Huang, he was looked down upon in Rishengchang because of his status as a refugee. After establishing the Gewu Fang, he became obsessed with participating in wilderness adventures. To say that it is indeed driven by the interests of the Fang Group, but at this moment, the details
If you think about it carefully, maybe you subconsciously want to use this method to numb the pain of being exiled from your hometown——
After all, cutting off contact with familiar things, cutting off contact with family and friends, and drifting alone to a foreign land, the pressure caused by this devastated the body and mind, and it could only be vented through such a fierce form.
It was not until recently that the operation of the square group gradually got on the right track, and the daily life became a little more stable, and I finally had enough mental space to focus on other things. At this time, the homesickness that had been lurking came out like a raging torrent, which disturbed my mood so much.
Depressed.
"...That's what happened."
Gu Chen raised the corner of his mouth as if he was self-deprecating. He had attended a psychological analysis course in college, and although it was only a fleeting interest, it was somewhat beneficial to be able to figure out where he was awkward.
Understanding that all the violent actions he has taken since time traveling to Chenghuang are all caused by the pain of being exiled from his hometown, this can be regarded as the step of discovering the problem. From discovering the problem to solving the problem, Gu Chen has no idea how to proceed in the latter step.
.
Rather, I felt like crying.
It would be fine if he could cry, but the gloomy mood stuck tightly to his spirit like thick, wet river mud, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.
"Boss! Are you still here?"
Just when Gu Chen shook his head violently on the physical level, an unexpected greeting came from behind.
Looking back, I saw a burly soldier hurriedly walking this way. The soldier Guo Bei had a calm character and overall perspective that were rare among pioneers, so Gu Chen entrusted him with commanding the convoy on the way, and he did a remarkable job.
.However, Guo Bei, who came over at this time, had an almost anxious look on his face——
For the soldier Guo Bei to be so moved, the situation is probably not trivial. Gu Chen quickly calmed down and jumped off the roof of the armored car.
"What's wrong?"
"Things are not good. We may be in big trouble. If he is right."
Guo Bei's face was heavy and he raised his eyes to look at the other person following him.
"Big trouble?"
Gu Chen looked around in confusion, and saw beside Guo Bei a stout man with a beard and wearing an animal skin. Gu Chen subconsciously felt that the man looked familiar, and when he tried to retrieve the face in his memory, he jumped.
The name that came out surprised him.
"Are you Boss Cui? The beast envoy of Rishengchang?"
That person was none other than Beastmaster Cui Wu, the leader of the team under Rishengchang Trading Company.
When Gu Chen was under the protection of Ri Shengchang, he had met Cui Wu several times. However, at that time, Cui Wu was a majestic beast envoy who commanded the pack team, while he was just a free-loading refugee. There was a huge gap in status between the two.
We can't talk about any friendship.
When they met again, Cui Wu was still the leader of the pack team, but Gu Chen had changed from an unemployed refugee to a popular young supervisor in Liyang Mansion, and he also had the respected status of the master of Gewufang. Even a crow turning into a phoenix is not enough to describe this.
Such drastic changes, no wonder Cui Wu walked over with a troubled expression on his face.
Fortunately, when the sun rose, Cui Wu did not scorn and ridicule Gu Chen like other waiters. Even though their status was reversed when they met again, he was still able to say hello according to etiquette.
"...Cui Wu, a grassroots man, has met the Young Supervisor Division."
"Long time no see, Boss Cui, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Gu Chen nodded slightly in response. Cui Wu himself is the leader of Rishengchang's pack team, and Dongqu Town is a transit town where several trade routes converge. It is not unusual for the two sides to meet by chance. The question is what Cui Wu brought
The news caused Guo Bei to make the judgment that "we may be in big trouble."
To be honest, with Gu Chen's current mental state, he really didn't want to get involved with the trouble, but the position of the head of Gewugang and the Young Supervisor made him have to accept the trouble that was approaching him.
Holding back the depression in his heart, Gu Chen took a deep breath to calm down, and then asked.
