Xiao Bai grabbed the dodder that was extending its stems and trying to escape, and pulled it out of the soil along with the peony flowers. The next moment, seven big men suddenly appeared on the roadside which was originally an open space, sitting on the ground, and the ground was littered with instant noodles, paper shells, and garbage.
The scene was no different from the homeless people under the overpass who used picked-up cardboard as mattresses, a few rags as bedding, and countless plastic bags of garbage next to the cardboard, except that the clothes on some of them were relatively clean - after all, they were only trapped there for less than two days.
My uncle and others who were sitting on a mat made of cardboard and playing cards together had not yet noticed the changes in the scene around them - they had already come out of the illusion!
It was the child from the family of three who was sitting nearby watching them play cards. He pointed at Xiao Bai who suddenly appeared in front of them and kept saying "she, she, she" for a long time before they reacted.
Xiao Bai, holding a bunch of peony flowers and dodder in his hand, stared at the people who suddenly appeared for a while before saying:
"It seems like you guys are having a great time. Maybe I shouldn't bother you? Then I'll leave?"
The uncle reacted immediately, threw the cards to the ground, jumped up and shouted happily: "My nephew! Good job! I knew you were the most reliable among these brats! I really have to rely on you! Otherwise, I don't know how long I will be locked up in here!
"Xiaobai, you have no idea how miserable it is for us to be trapped in this illusion!" The little fat boy patted his butt and climbed up. His dirty hands were about to grab Xiao Bai's clothes, but Xiao Bai dodged by twisting his body.
Looking at the people who were jumping around with rosy complexions and no injuries or pain, Xiao Bai rolled his eyes. It seemed that she was the most miserable among these groups of people. She was chased by a group of crazy animals for so long last night!
But finally, the missing people were found, which was good. Xiao Bai quickly brought them back to the dormitory area. She planted the mutant dodder and the peony in a flowerpot with some soil and gave it to Xiao's mother, saying, "I saw that this peony is quite beautiful. I rescued it and will take it home later."
Mother Xiao: ·······
Can you just pick the flowers in this school?
As for the family of three who also mistakenly entered the illusion, they originally wanted to go to the dormitory area. After learning that Xiao Bai and others were living in the dormitory area, they insisted on following them.
Xiao Bai didn't care. They could go if they wanted. They would be responsible for their own food anyway. As long as they didn't make trouble, it would be fine.
In Xiao Bai's eyes, making trouble means causing trouble in the dormitory area, such as opening the big iron gate of the dormitory area for strangers, stealing things, beating and killing people, etc.
Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Bai and his uncle saw from afar several grown men and women making trouble at the door of the dormitory area.
"Why did you lock the door and not let us in? This dormitory area belongs to the school, not your private property! Open the door quickly!"
"Yeah! Quickly open the door. I see there's a cafeteria inside. Look, there's also a small supermarket there. There must be something for sale there!"
"Look, there's still smoke coming out of the cafeteria chimney. Maybe they're cooking inside!"
"Open the door!"
“Clang, clang!”
The big iron gate was slammed with loud clangs.
The guard at the gate was in a dilemma. An old woman on his left pulled his sleeve and yelled, "We don't know these people! Don't open the door. You saw that crazy guy yesterday! Who knows if there's anyone crazy among them? What if they go crazy and hurt us after letting them in? We can't open the door!"
A slightly younger woman on the right pulled him towards the woman on the left and yelled, "Zhang Guihua! Can you please stop being so selfish? We all need to help each other when we're in danger. Besides, don't you see they're all fine? Didn't you hear them say they just wanted to get some food? What's the harm in letting them in?"
The people outside the door seemed to have heard their argument, and someone immediately shouted:
"Yes! We just came in to buy some food. Look, we have money!" As he said this, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and shook them in front of everyone.
Several others quickly echoed:
"Yes, we have money!"
"Let us in, we just want to buy some food. We came from the teaching building. All the crazy people over there have been arrested by the guards!"
"Yeah, we're not infected!"
The woman on the right, hearing what the people outside were saying, felt even more confident that she was right. She said, "Look, they themselves said they were just here to buy things. Besides, there are guards outside! You're just selfish! Besides, you're just a dormitory manager. This iron gate is not your responsibility!"
Zhang Guihua, the dormitory manager of this area, was so angry when she heard this that her nose almost became crooked. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and yelled loudly: "Okay! I'm stingy and selfish, but you, Hong Cuicui, are generous and selfless. I don't care. You can do whatever you want!" After that, she turned and walked towards the dormitory building.
The few remaining people gathered around the iron gate, peering in to watch the commotion, looked at each other, none expressing any opinion. After all, the three people arguing were in charge of the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the gate—at least they had the "management" part, while the rest of them were just there to do the work.
To be honest, the crazy man yesterday, the mutant cat that appeared outside the big iron gate last night, and the group of mutant animals that howled outside all night really scared them. Privately, they didn't want to open the big iron gate, but they were embarrassed to come out and be bad guys. Zhang Guihua was more straightforward, and after receiving instructions from Xiao Bai and others, it was best not to open the door to strangers.
Every time Xiao Bai went out, he would give the security guard a few words of advice at the door, and the uncles and aunts in the cafeteria also knew about it.
There is a little girl whose family has many animals and is temporarily living in the dormitory area with her family. Although no one has ever spoken to her, everyone knows her and dares not offend her. This is because not only does the little girl's cat fight very well, but there is also a strange vine that is now surrounding the dormitory area wall. It is said that it is used to protect the dormitory area. Moreover, the little girl never goes through the door and always jumps directly over the wall.
The elderly people standing at the cafeteria windows would be so surprised every time they saw her jump out from the wall that they would call out to others, "Look, that little girl has jumped out again!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Just like that, he jumped over!"
If Xiao Bai knew that he always wanted to be treated like a monkey, he would be speechless.
The security guard was just hesitating. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Bai and others walking not far away, and he immediately stepped forward.
