Chapter 572 Decided to Make a Little Contribution to the World

This world only punishes good people.

Gu Tao forgot the source of this sentence, or it may be a casual sentence. He didn't have a deep impression on him before, but now he is extremely impressed by this sentence.

"If you want to die, die earlier. Once you delay, you will no longer be able to die."

Sitting at the dinner table, Gu Tao poured himself a glass of wine and also poured a glass for the old classmate who looked a bit down on the other side.

It's been more than ten years, time is really fast, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and he has changed from the boy when he woke up to a stubbled uncle, and the guy who brought him KFC back then The deskmate has just been released from prison today, and Gu Tao is the only one who cleans up for him.

"I didn't expect that I was so beautiful back then, and now you are the only one left to treat me to a whole meal." He smiled wryly and took a sip of wine: "I should have listened to you back then, what kind of society do I mess with."

"Come to my factory, the wages are not high, and there is still enough food and clothing."

The old classmate on the opposite side didn't say anything, just took two mouthfuls of food silently and let out a long sigh.

In the past ten years, Gu Tao has actually never been separated from the previous world, but life still has to go on. He did not take the college entrance examination or carry a guitar and wander around the world. After graduating from high school, he went to his uncle's factory and became a A sheet metal worker, he had almost learned the technology, so his family gave him some money to open a small factory. When he was 24 years old, he got married naturally. There are not so many magnificent stories and not so bitter and twists in the plot. His wife is Zhang Ting had been clinging to him since she was a child. The two of them had not yet had a child. Zhang Ting complained a little, but Gu Tao had always avoided answering the question.

It's been a smooth journey, my mother started a cram school after she retired, and my father will retire next year.The retirement salary of the second elder is not low, and the money he earns from free time work will not add any burden to Gu Tao.

He has no friends. In Zhang Ting's words, he has almost cut off contact with the world. He never attends class reunions and does not go to social events or anything like that. He goes home to cook for Zhang Ting after work every day and spends his free time in the evening. Just draw like crazy.

His comics are very interesting. Zhang Ting likes to read them very much. The main character in them is also called Gu Tao. He is an alien in the comics. Cry out loud.

In the eyes of others, he probably has that kind of typical autistic personality, but Gu Tao knew that it was almost time for him to make a choice. strong.

For so many years, he has minimized the emotional connection with others and never left a penny for himself. All the money is managed by Zhang Ting and his parents. The only friend is probably this one who spent ten years in prison because of loyalty. guy.

"I think you've changed a lot." The little fat man back then has now turned into a thin middle-aged man. He looked into Gu Tao's eyes and said, "Have you recovered yet?"

Gu Tao turned his head and looked at him: "I don't know what to say, do you know what I regret the most?"

"What is it?"

"I didn't jump directly from the top of the school that year." Gu Tao suddenly laughed: "If I jumped, it might be over."

"Why? Why do you think so, every time you come to see me...you don't tell me that, without you encouraging me, I can't live now."

Gu Tao took a sip of wine and stroked his stubble: "I still lack courage. The longer the time, the more reluctant I am to accept this world as a real world. My parents, Tingting, It's hard to let go, the real emotional hub has been established, and I really don't know what to do."

"I can understand you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." After Gu Tao finished speaking, he opened another bottle of wine: "But even if you understand me, you must not know what kind of pain I'm going through, and I also know that my time is coming."

"What? What's wrong with you?"

Gu Tao waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions.In fact, Gu Tao doesn’t know how to explain it. This is probably a premonition. His time here coincides with his time there. The timelines of the two sides have been connected. He clearly remembers that he came The time to come here was the summer of that year, July [-]th.And now, there are only three days left before that day.

There was not much time left for him. Whether to choose to stay here or go back there was a question that had troubled him for seven years.

Father is old, and mother's health is getting worse and worse. Tingting is still the weak Tingting, not in good health, but she is always firm and gentle when holding his hand.

He once thought that there are so many people over there, and there are only three people who really care about here, but when he turned his head, he realized that the things that he is reluctant to give up cannot be valued by quantity, whether it is six sons, sisters, or younger brothers. , Dad, Weiwei, father, mother, Tingting, in fact, they are all things that he can't let go of.

Choosing one side means giving up one side, and the real horror is coming.

This is something he tried his best to avoid, and it was something he couldn't figure out.

After eating, when I got home, Tingting greeted her as soon as she opened the door, handed over a warm towel and said with a smile, "Brother, you must have drunk a lot." All he did was hold her in his arms so hard that she felt pain.

But she didn't speak, because she could clearly feel the panic and uneasiness of the man in front of her. She had never experienced such a strong panic from Gu Tao. She hugged her husband's waist behind her back and buried her head in his chest .

"Go back and see your parents." Tingting's voice was thin and weak: "They are old."

Gu Tao was stunned: "Huh?"

"Brother, are you leaving? I know... I peeked at your diary, sorry..."

Looking at his wife who was biting her lip and trying to hold back tears, Gu Tao felt his heart was pulled hard. He slowly let go of his hand and went to the window, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it twice It was crushed in his hands, and he punched his face twice with all his might.

"Brother...don't be like this, brother..." Tingting hugged Gu Tao's hand, and hugged him tightly: "Brother, I know...I know you definitely don't belong here, after so many years, I should have known of."

Gu Tao shook his head vigorously: "I belong here, but I don't know what to do. I want it all, and I can't let it go...I can't let it go..."

Tingting's tears dripped down her thin cheeks, and Gu Tao looked at this unattractive girl, and then slowly held her hand, slowly but firmly: "Let me tell you something story."

Sitting on the sofa with his wife, Gu Tao told all the things that happened in that world, without any concealment, this is probably a ten-year-late story. He will pass all the details in his mind once, he is afraid that he will forget and even more afraid that the world is really just a figment of his imagination.

"No matter where it is, it's true to me. Whether it's you or the six sons, they are people I can't let go of. I may have everything over there, but here I have you, my parents, and a complete family. Home."

"elder brother……"

"I am afraid."

"I know." Tingting held Gu Tao's hand: "Will you remember me like you remember them?"

"You are a good boy." Gu Tao held Tingting's face in both hands: "The question now is not whether you are willing or not, but whether I am willing or not. I don't know how to choose."

"Then... let's just wait until that day, shall we?"

In fact, Gu Tao knew that no matter how high-sounding she said, she definitely didn't want her to go back in her heart, so this was the most painful part for Gu Tao. It was also the most real and cruel part of this experience. It made Gu Tao Thao couldn't tell what was real.

Cut off the thread of love?Oh yes.Maybe this is the only correct answer, but he can't do it, he doesn't have that ability, what he can do now is to tell all the stories to the people he loves the most, and let people share his biting pain.

"Brother, I want a child..."

"He must be called Gu Ginseng." Gu Tao showed an ugly smile with red eyes: "This name is auspicious."

They set off early the next morning and returned to their hometown, that small county town.Gu Tao's parents were still very surprised, why they came back because it was not a holiday and nothing happened.The reason, Gu Tao dare not say, he dare not open his mouth, he dare not even meet his father's eyes.

During these three days, he was very happy, even if he was called a dog by his father.

And when the morning of July NO.18 came, Gu Tao got up early, hung up his beard, put on clean clothes, made breakfast for the whole family, and sat in the yard while stroking the previous generation When Xiao Hei was born, Xiao Hei's eyes lost focus.

"What's the matter? I was very preoccupied early in the morning."

Father came over, handed him a bag of his favorite buns, and sat beside him: "Have you had a fight with Tingting?"

"No." Gu Tao smiled, then looked at the sky: "Dad."

"Huh? What happened to you? The factory is not profitable?"

Gu Tao didn't answer for a long time. He just sat there and said slowly: "At my age, a stable life is enough. In fact, I can't fly and I don't have super powers, so I don't have to fantasize about those messy things."

The father didn't speak, just sat there eating the buns, Gu Tao didn't urge him, the father and son just sat at the door and fell silent.

"Do you understand the word love?"

The sudden question made Gu Tao stunned on the spot. He looked at his father's side face and couldn't speak for a long time.

"When I was young, my biggest dream was to be a pilot." My father's voice was heavy: "But your grandma passed away early at that time, and it was not easy for your grandpa to support the family by himself. I wanted to be a pilot, and he might not be able to survive, so I I stayed, then I met your mother, and then I had you. I am sixty, and I still want to fly."

Gu Tao laughed out loud, and suddenly his mood was extremely gloomy.

"I love my father, I love you, and my mother loves you too. I don't know how to tell you, but... as a father, I hope that for my children, safety is the prerequisite, wealth is the wish, and you are happy. The heart is a father's greatest success, but I failed in particular. You are unhappy. You have been unhappy for so many years. I don't even know why you are unhappy. I'm sorry, son."

Gu Tao took out a cigarette and handed it to his father, wiping away the tears on the tip of his nose: "No, you are very, very powerful. Without you, I wouldn't be able to make it this far. Really... Dad, thank you."

"I don't know what you are going to do, but your state is not right, you can't do stupid things. You know that you jumped off the stairs in the second year of high school. Although I didn't say anything, it hurt me so much. It was me I am so sorry……"

"Let's go back to eat, mom won't know what we are doing later."

During the meal, the family was still enjoying themselves, and the old mother was urging Gu Tao to have a child as soon as possible, which was a commonplace topic.

Usually Gu Tao would hide in the kitchen to avoid this problem at this time, but when he came out, his family was still chatting, but a strange door appeared in the living room, which was extremely unexpected.

"Can you... see that door?"

Gu Tao pointed to the door and asked, although he already had concerns in his heart, he still couldn't help asking.

"The door? What door?" The mother looked back, and then looked at Gu Tao with strange eyes: "Are you too tired these days?"

"Well... maybe, I'll lie on the sofa and have a rest."

Gu Tao walked around the door and lay on the sofa. Tingting came over and sat next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother...have they come to pick you up?"

Holding Tingting's hand, Gu Tao found that her hand had become cold and trembling slightly, just like when he first came here.

"Can't you see?"

"Hmm... I can't see it."

Gu Tao stared at the door and saw a sign on it, and the number on the sign was decreasing little by little. At this moment, Gu Tao understood that there was really not much time left for him. He sat up and looked at the people who were cleaning up. The mother at the table, the father who was reading a book, and the pale wife beside him.

He is going crazy.

Suddenly, a huge overwhelming pressure came from his front, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Walking through that door, he instantly recovered to be the master Gu who called the wind and rain, but at the same time, he forever lost a home that made him extremely stable, lost his lovely father and mother, and also lost a wife who loved him dearly.

Choice, it's a deeply scary multiple choice question.

"Satania..."

Gu Tao murmured out this name that hadn't appeared for a long time, and the moment she heard this name, Tingting's face immediately became more ugly, because she heard Gu Tao shouting in her dream more than once. the name.

"Satania!!! Forcibly start the virtual arena in overload mode, all the computing power is loaded in!!! I don't do multiple-choice questions!"
