Many years later, looking back on this decision, I feel very fortunate. But how can I put it? The past is the past. What's gone is gone. You can't find it again even if you turn the world upside down.
...
I looked at Sister Jing and asked, "Sister Jing, Lao Fei, I'm sorry, this was my oversight. I didn't expect Su Mu to do this, so I don't know what to do. If you want to stay, I can discuss it with Du Xu, and I'll leave alone so I won't be a burden to you."
Jingjie looked at me and smiled, "You silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? If you've already decided to leave, I'll listen to you. We've lived together for so long, and if we're separated again, we'll get used to it. So if you want to leave, Jingjie will definitely go with you."
Fei Lichao grabbed my shoulder and stood up from the stool. He looked at me and said, "Xiaonan, although I'm very unwilling, I support your decision. When I rescued you from the hospital, I knew that my decision would not be wrong. You were a little naive at first, but it's different now. You have grown up and are a man. I know that this matter must be very difficult for you, but like Lu Jing, I support your decision."
Sister Jing smiled and said, "Yes, we've come all the way from Hangzhou and are now like family. We'd be unhappy if any of us were missing. There's nothing left for us to care about in Jiajiang now. It's good to leave. Let's leave this place of heartbreak and find somewhere to start a new life."
"Sister Jing, Lao Fei, thanks." I said with a smile, then looked at Lu Yun beside me and asked, "What about you? Are you planning to leave with us? Or do you want to stay here?"
Lu Yun rolled her eyes at me. "Lu Xiaonan, are you kidding me? I want to be with my sister. I don't want to stay in this lousy school. Staying in one place all day is super boring, you know!"
"I know, I know," I said with a wry smile.
Lu Yun continued, "Besides, I think this kind of life is pretty good. After we leave Jiajiang, we can wander around and find a place with amazing scenery to settle down in. Isn't that great, sister?"
Sister Jing laughed and said, "Yes, if possible, we could find a place with a beautiful view so that we could live together. That would be nice."
“Yes, we’ll do that after we leave Jiajiang,” I said with a smile.
"Haha, sure, I agree too."
The four of us kept trying to comfort ourselves.
But deep down we all know that if we really leave Jiajiang, it's like leaving a familiar place and heading to an unknown place.
We may encounter many dangers along the way, such as hordes of zombies that we cannot deal with, or robbers. All sorts of situations may arise.
Therefore, we must be mentally prepared that once we set off, we will not have the chance to come back.
It's estimated that it won't be long before Su Mu completely controls the entire Jiajiang area. At that time, those small groups in Jiajiang, and the scattered people living in this city, will probably all join Su Mu's Jiangbei.
At that time, Su Mu will probably really become the local tyrant of Jiajiang.
I estimate that Biyuan will definitely be destroyed by him, or the people in Biyuan will surrender and be incorporated into Jiajiang.
Without Li Shujiang's threat, Jiangbei's development will progress by leaps and bounds.
As for whether he will extend his reach to other places in the future, nobody knows.
We discussed it in the dorm for half an hour and decided where we would go after we left.
Du Xu left half an hour ago and hasn't returned, nor has Huang Yiyang appeared. Clearly, Chu Yu has no good solution to this matter.
All the roads are blocked, and Su Mu is being aggressive; we have no choice.
...
The hour for consideration is up.
I originally wanted to go down and explain the situation to Su Mu.
But before I could even leave my dorm room, I heard footsteps outside. A moment later, Su Mu pushed open the door and stood in the doorway. After walking in, he asked me directly, "An hour is up. Have you thought it through?"
I nodded and said, "We've thought it through. We've decided to leave Jiajiang."
Su Mu's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine. But after you leave, I hope you won't come back. Even if you do come back, please wait a few years."
I stared at him and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't come back to interfere with your unification cause. Maybe we'll never see each other again."
Su Mu smiled and said, "Perhaps. Since you've chosen to leave, pack your things. Take everything you need, and if you want any weapons, take some too."
I was taken aback, then nodded slightly. Su Mu's words contained a very important message.
The fact that he was willing to let us take some weapons before leaving shows that he didn't want to send people to hunt me down after I left; he genuinely wanted me to leave.
After that, we started packing. Actually, there wasn't much to pack, just some clothes, some food, and some guns.
After hearing the news, Du Xu returned to our dormitory.
"Are you really going to leave?" Du Xu asked.
I nodded and said, "Perhaps leaving is our best option."
Du Xu sighed, "To be honest, I really want to just leave with you guys. Dealing with someone like Su Mu is really annoying."
I chuckled. “But you still have over thirty people to take care of. What will happen to them if you leave? Besides, I don’t think you need to worry about anything. With Chu Yu around, you won’t suffer in Jiajiang.”
Du Xu nodded and chuckled, "That's true. I just asked Chu Yu, and she said that based on your personality, you would definitely choose to leave. She also said that although there are ways to resolve this matter, they will not yield good results in the end. On the contrary, if you choose to leave, this matter will have the best outcome."
"Maybe," I said with a smile.
Du Xu asked, "Will we be able to meet again in the future?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe we'll meet again someday."
Du Xu said, "I hope that one day in the future we can stand at the top of this world, and then we won't have to look up to anyone!"
I nodded solemnly, "Keep it up."
Du Xu opened his arms and hugged me. "Yeah, good luck."
