Chapter 571 What is a demon?

No, Gu Tao has a problem.

At that moment just now, he almost raised the knife towards these classmates. Their life and death were just in that moment. Fortunately, his reason restrained his hand of seeking the truth, and he allowed these lovely children to save their lives. life.

When Gu Tao was sharing the watermelon, he suddenly realized one thing, that is... Are those people who look like mentally ill all mentally ill?

That's right, his current state has begun to confuse reality. The whole world is unreal in his eyes, but this unreal world does exist, so is there something wrong with the world, or is something wrong with him? question?
Where is the free space in this world?

If these people are killed, will he die? If he dies, will he be able to see the real world?
But, what if this world is real?He was really sick, very sick.Then he killed these people and died himself, so isn't everything over?

These two options were always on in his mind. He was suffering from this state and almost collapsed.

But the reality does not allow him to collapse, many things need him to do, and many choices have not been chosen yet.A lot of helplessness and no choice made him suppressed in a small jar. The world is obviously so beautiful. Although his father doesn't make much money, he is a smart, assertive man who still takes care of his family. His mother is a junior high school teacher with a gentle personality.The smiles of the classmates reveal the beauty of youth at this age, and the sunshine outside is just right.

But Gu Tao is very painful, he is very, very painful, the torment of being entangled between reality and illusion is really driving him crazy.

The classmates had all left, Gu Tao was sitting alone in the living room, the fan above his head was slowly spinning, it seemed to be making creaking sounds but it didn’t seem to be, the mottled tree shadows outside the window were stretched into the room by the setting sun , like a terrifying ghost claw, but Gu Tao sat there without making a sound.

He looked out of the window with a dull expression, until the knock on the door sounded again.

Walking to the door and opening the door, Gu Tao saw a skinny girl standing outside. Gu Tao remembered her, but he couldn't say he remembered her, he just had her in his mind. I know and I don't understand.

"Zhang Ting."

"Hmm..." The girl was holding a watermelon weighing more than 20 kilograms, and stood at the door with difficulty: "I... I heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I came to see you."

Gu Tao smiled lightly, took the watermelon from her hand, then took out ice water from the refrigerator and poured a glass of water for the sweaty Zhang Ting. , in "memory" Zhang Ting is a very shy girl, but she has a good relationship with Gu Tao, and Gu Tao also took good care of her when she was young, because her mother died when she was very young, and her father worked outside and followed her grandfather Grandma's Zhang Ting is easily bullied, while "in memory" Gu Tao has always been her big brother and protector living next door.

"Brother... are you feeling better?"

"Ah."

Seeing her appearance, Gu Tao actually thinks that if he can accept the present reality calmly, then his most likely marriage partner in the future is this thin girl in front of him, even though she is only 14 years old now.From the perspective of family background, the probability of their separation in the future will not be too high.

"Brother, are you hungry? Let me cook for you... Uncles and aunts asked me to take care of you today."

Today, my father has to work overtime in the factory, and my mother is going to the provincial capital to mark papers. There will be no one at home, and she should be the one entrusted to take care of Gu Tao.

Gu Tao looked at her profile, and suddenly laughed: "I'm not the Gu Tao you know, I can fly..."

As he talked, he laughed to himself, laughing at himself for being stupid.

"I believe."

Zhang Ting suddenly said something surprising. She raised her head and looked at Gu Tao with sparkling eyes: "No matter what you say, I will believe it."

Gu Tao's eyes lit up: "Then let me tell you."

"Okay, but let me... cook for you first."

"No, no, I'll cook for you!"

Gu Tao immediately felt motivated, took out various ingredients from the refrigerator and started busy in the kitchen, but unfortunately without the help of Satania, he messed up everything... black scrambled eggs with tomatoes , chewy braised beef and braised eggplant with no salt.

"It's delicious, brother."

Looking at Zhang Ting who was eating the rubbish on the table with gusto, Gu Tao suddenly burst into tears. He sat there and cried loudly. This kind of unreasonable frustration made him collapse, completely collapsed, without a single trace hesitate.

Zhang Ting immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked over to hug Gu Tao's head: "Brother...are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Tao shook his head and leaned gently on the sofa: "I was just a waste."

"No! Really not." Zhang Ting waved her hand and said, "You are not trash, you are amazing. You can fly and you have superpowers."

Gu Tao, who couldn't listen at all, sat blankly on the sofa, continued to look out of the window like that, and after wiping away his tears, he showed a bitter smile: "Do I look like a psychopath?"

"No." Zhang Ting shook her head and said, "I know, you are not as sick as they say."

Gu Tao didn't speak, just sat there motionless. All he could do now was to control his emotions and force himself to lock himself in No. 1, otherwise the sense of detachment in the third person would make him go completely crazy. Really It's... crazy.

The pain, the urgent and oppressive pain made his spirit slackened, as if something oppressed his heart, and his thinking began to be confused. He knew that if it continued, he couldn't hold it for much longer.

"Brother, I cooked milk porridge for you, you can drink some, you haven't eaten all day."

"I'm not hungry."

"Eat something even if you're not hungry." Zhang Ting sat beside Gu Tao, her voice already crying: "If something happens to you, who will protect me in the future."

Gu Tao smiled lightly, took the bowl and began to eat in small mouthfuls.

This girl is so cute.She seems to have a healing ability. She is obviously taking care of others, but she uses a sincere and sincere way to express the demanding message of "What should I do without you?"

This feeling of enjoying the gift while enjoying the favor can really cure part of the despair to a large extent.

"Brother, I can chat with you. I told my grandparents today that I will live here with you."

"They're not worried." Gu Tao drank the porridge, but when he wanted to wash the dishes, the bowl was snatched away. He followed to the kitchen door: "I'm not normal."

"No, my brother won't hurt me anyway." Zhang Ting turned around with a smile and said, "Right?"

The feeling of being blindly trusted by others is actually a little proud, but at the same time, the sense of detachment hits again, and the inner struggle rises again, because the more beautiful the world is, the more afraid he is, because he deeply believes in the one who has The world of Xinchen, Youliuzi, Weiwei, and Youan is real, but this world is fake!is fake! ! !

"Brother, don't be afraid. No matter what, I will be with you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. If it wasn't for you, I would have been bullied to death." Zhang Ting came over and sat beside Gu Tao. She turned her head and looked at the broken guitar in the corner: "Brother...you haven't played the guitar for a long time. Singing, can you play the guitar for me?"

Gu Tao also glanced at the guitar: "Want to listen to the guitar?"

"Ok!"

"Few people like to hear me play the guitar." Gu Tao laughed and picked up the guitar: "Then what do you want to hear."

"Qilixiang!!!"

Gu Tao frowned, and suddenly realized that this was in 2004, a year when Jay Chou was so popular, it was a brand new song for Gu Tao's old song and for others.

Gently playing the guitar, Gu Tao suddenly felt a kind of release, and his mood improved a lot. Before he knew it, he played and sang a lot of songs, some existed and some did not exist, but it doesn't matter anymore, does it?

When he felt a little tired, he looked back and found that Zhang Ting was curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. He put down the guitar, carried Zhang Ting to the bed and covered her with a blanket, and then came to the balcony alone. Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in the treetops, the player gently played a small tune.

At the beginning of the month, at night in a midsummer town, old people in twos and threes are shaking cattail fans under a banyan tree not far away, children running around are following fireflies, and older teenagers are telling their younger siblings not to be scary A ghost story, a guitar sound echoing in the night sky, this should be a beautiful picture.

"Heart knot and heart disaster." Gu Tao suddenly lay down on the balcony and looked at the mountains in the distance: "It turns out that heart disaster is not watching ghost movies."

At this moment, a beam of flashlight hit his face from below. Gu Tao covered his face with his hands, and found that it was his fat deskmate. He shook Gu Tao's eyes with the flashlight, and waited for Gu Tao When I looked clearly, I found that he was standing below, holding a bucket of KFC Family Bucket in his hand.

"Hey, that's great. There is no KFC in our town. I bought this when I went to the city." He brought the KFC up and sat down on the sofa: "I know you've been discharged from the hospital, so I brought it here for you. Try it, Family Barrel! It’s a new product that just came out not long ago.”

As he spoke, he took a look with his head and saw Zhang Ting who was sleeping soundly.

"Tingting is here too, scream, let's eat together!"

Looking at his face, Gu Tao burst out laughing, and then let out a long sigh.

"What are you sighing for?"

"You know." Gu Tao was silent for a moment: "The better the world, the longer the time, the more painful I will be in the future."

"Are you sick?" He cursed, then went to the room and called Zhang Ting up.

The three moved their things to the balcony. KFC still had a bag of chicken feet and edamame, but unfortunately there was no beer.

"There's beer in the refrigerator." Gu Tao pointed to the refrigerator, "My dad still hasn't drunk two bottles."

"Can you drink?"

"Yes." Gu Tao nodded and said, "Drinking beer will not delay you."
