"You, the one in front, what do you do?"

There were officials at the city gate. They saw Wu Er and asked him questions.

It was early in the morning, and the city gates had just opened, so there was only Wu Er standing in front of them.

Moreover, Wu Er's current state was quite strange, so the officers stepped forward to question him.

They received no answer when questioned by the officials.

Wu Er was in no mood to talk; he was feeling very down.

"Hey, what are you doing here!" The guards at the city gate stepped forward again to ask.

However, Wu Er ignored him and walked forward on his own. He reached the city gate and sat down next to it.

He just sat there without saying a word, his head down.

The officers frowned, wondering what was going on, and asked several more times.

Clearly, these inquiries went unanswered.

When the officials found that their inquiries were fruitless, they stopped asking and left Wu Er to sit by the city gate.

Although the extra people by the city gate were an eyesore, they didn't affect anything, so the officials didn't bother to care.

With no one around to manage him, Wu Er naturally just sat there blankly, and it's likely that even if someone had tried to manage him, he would still have just sat there blankly.

As the sun rose higher, more and more people came and went at the city gate.

People coming in and out found it strange to see someone sitting at the city gate.

However, it's just something that seems strange; if it doesn't concern them, no one would bother with such a trivial matter.

As people came and went in the city, countless people saw Wu Er.

Most people chose to ignore him, and some even mocked Wu Er. Yet, out of so many people, no one pitied him.

Human nature is often like this: when we see someone more miserable than ourselves, or someone doing strange things, we feel a strange sense of superiority.

In this world, very few people help others without expecting anything in return, right?
