At first, the video was only spread in a small area. After being forwarded by several big Vs on Weibo, it was quickly played more than 100,000 times, and various comments appeared on the Internet like a flood.
"It's so outrageous. These people have already violated the law, right? Please punish them severely!"
"Can you kill them and make them pay the price?"
"I have been to the Dam Grassland. The original style there is very well maintained and the scenery is beautiful. When I saw the destruction of the vegetation, I was so angry that I almost cried."
…
Most of the comments condemned the perpetrators, and some people questioned whether the measures taken by the reserve were not adequate. For a time, the reserve, from the director to the volunteers, was under great pressure.
The director was even more overwhelmed. He had to deal with inquiries from his superiors and answer calls from various media.
The search for the perpetrator was also in trouble. The contact number left by the other party was actually an empty number and could not be reached at all. There were only a few license plate number messages that were not sure whether they were true or false. You had to communicate with the security association to find them.
During lunch, the volunteers were all dejected.
Not only did they not earn a penny for their hard work, they also had to pay a lot. As a result, they were accused on the Internet of not doing their job well, which led to the grassland being trampled.
Grievance, sadness, humiliation, all kinds of emotions filled our hearts. Everyone was in a very low mood, and no one spoke a word while they were busy eating their food.
Xin Xiaolei whispered: "It's all my fault. If I had been more serious at the time and checked the phone number and license plate number, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."
Li Xuan comforted him: "It's not your fault. Evil people will do evil things no matter how they prepare themselves."
"But I failed to fulfill my responsibility." Xin Xiaolei cried silently.
Seeing the usually smiling Xin Xiaolei looking like this, Li Xuan felt very angry.
But now that it is time for him to become a mortal, he still has to abide by the rules of a mortal. This matter must be handled by the Sanctuary first. If it cannot be handled, Li Xuan will intervene.
The situation developed very quickly. That afternoon, the director of the reserve posted a video on the video platform, sternly warning the perpetrators to surrender themselves as soon as possible.
As soon as the video came out, it triggered a wave of carnival on social media, and some major media reposted it, making the incident even more intense.
However, judging from the news that came in the afternoon, the work of finding the person was not going smoothly. The license plate number left by the other person was also changed, and the video was also very blurry. There was almost no effective information, and the person could not be found for a while.
Where did it come from?
In the evening, everyone had a hurried dinner.
Originally, after dinner on weekdays, volunteers would hold a party to talk about the books they had read, the movies they had watched, and the roads they had traveled.
Today, everyone was in no mood and went their separate ways.
Li Xuan originally wanted to go back to rest, but Xin Xiaolei came over with a bag and pulled him out.
"Where to go?" Li Xuan asked.
"Don't ask." Xin Xiaolei said.
Follow her all the way to the hillside behind the service point. There is a pavilion here. Sitting in the pavilion, you can see the stars in the sky and most of the lights of Waiba Town below.
"Here..." Xin Xiaolei opened the bag, took out a can of beer and threw it to Li Xuan, "Drink some with me."
Li Xuan reluctantly opened the beer can and took a sip.
Xin Xiaolei drank quietly and suddenly said after a long time: "Actually, I try very hard to do everything well, but I don't know why, all kinds of problems always happen. Just like this time, if it weren't for my negligence,
, it would not be like this. Huo Xuan, do you think I am useless?"
Is this the trouble of mortals?
Li Xuan suddenly recalled some distant past events.
When he was on the run in his previous life, he had many doubts about himself.
At that time, he was wronged, lost, in pain, helpless, and resentful, and lived in self-pity every day.
Sometimes I hate Zhai Xin's betrayal, hate Zhang Shihua's oppression, and hate the Zhang family's bullying.
Sometimes I miss my parents and every relative and friend who was affected by him.
Sometimes I think of Xu Man and every lover I have passed in my life.
More often than not, he blames his own incompetence for causing all the tragedies.
All people's anger is nothing more than a cover-up for their own incompetence.
In his previous life, Li Xuan was always a loser, even a loser, until he accidentally obtained the inheritance from the Immortal Family. Not only was he unable to change his life, he couldn't even protect his own family.
Many times, Li Xuan was confused and even thought about committing suicide to end his endless escape.
But he finally managed to survive, and he became the Fire Mysterious Golden Immortal.
The pain, thoughts, sadness, and depression of the past have been forgotten or even completely wiped out with thousands of years of practice.
After becoming a mortal in the past few days, Li Xuan regained the feeling of a mortal again, so he could naturally understand Xin Xiaolei's confusion.
"Everyone is born to be hesitant, but must be strong." Li Xuan said calmly, "And you don't need to blame yourself. I am also partially responsible for what happened that day. You can't take it all on yourself."
Xin Xiaolei said quietly: "But after seeing those comments on the Internet, I really can't accept it. We obviously work so hard..."
"Ignore those keyboard warriors. The easiest thing in the world is to point fingers, but the hardest thing is to keep confidence in yourself. Don't worry about gossip, just be yourself."
"You know a lot."
"I am also slowly learning how to live."
"Really? I think you don't care about anything."
"No, it's just your misunderstanding."
"Then do you care about me?"
"Well……"
The two of them chatted, exchanged words, and took a sip. At some point, Xin Xiaolei fell asleep leaning on Li Xuan's shoulder.
Li Xuan gently stirred up a trace of spiritual energy and dispersed the mosquitoes surrounding him.
The starry sky above your head, the earth beneath your feet, the beautiful people around you, and the life in front of you.
Li Xuan seemed to be integrated into this world. His five qi were peaceful and safe, and the cracks in his golden elixir were gradually closing...
After a night of silence, the volunteers cheered up and were preparing to continue working the next day when another explosive news spread on the Internet.
The group of perpetrators actually posted another video on the Internet, and the content was extremely arrogant.
When I opened the video, I saw the bald head that Li Xuan had seen before. He raised his middle finger at the camera and shouted: "Director of the protected area, I have gone home. I heard that you wanted to find me. Hahaha, I was early."
Then I walked away. If you have the ability, come and chase me! But I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up!"
After saying that, he majestically boarded the off-road vehicle behind him, made another indecent gesture, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
As soon as the video came out, it became a sensation on the Internet.
The volunteers were all so angry that their hands and feet were cold, and Li Xuan's eyes also darkened.
If the Golden Immortal doesn't show off his power, do you really think I'm a mortal?
