Gu Xiaoshi felt that the work clothes on this courier were very familiar, the kind of yellow and that mark, it seemed that he had seen it before, although he was suspicious in his heart, he still signed his name on the recipient column.

The courier checked the signature, handed the big envelope in his hand to Gu Xiaoshi, said goodbye and left, leaving Gu Xiaoshi standing in front of the house alone, looking at the big envelope in a daze, this is ...... Is......?

It is exactly the same as the express delivery received two weeks ago, DHL's international express mail, these scammers really have no bottom line, this is the second time! After Gu Xiaoshi entered the door, he said hello to his mother and sister, said a few words, and returned to the bedroom with the courier, he was ready to open it to see what tricks the scammers were going to play.

Sure enough, inside the big envelope was a small black envelope exactly the same as last time, the same paper, pure black, with a golden shield emblem printed on the back, and when I opened it, the contents were different. The header and footer have not changed, Gu Xiaoshi knows, it is still from that Augustan Academy, and a paragraph is still printed, but this time it has been changed to Chinese.

Chinese is easy to do, Gu Xiaoshi does not need to go to the dictionary again, the original text of this letter is:

After reading this letter, Gu Xiaoshi felt that his life was very disillusioned.

Regardless of whether this is a liar or not, and what tricks he is playing, the talent mentioned many times in the letter has a bullshit relationship with himself? When did he become a talent? Still so sought-after? Good guy, free study, food and lodging, and scholarships, I have never heard of such a good thing, and it will fall on my head, and it will really fall into the sky? The precious wealth of mankind, people like myself, if they do not drag their feet and do not hinder the development of mankind, it is already a great luck, when will it become wealth? There is actually a special person to be responsible for cheating, do you really think you are a rich person, this cost is too high, right?

Gu Xiaoshi had a long list of question marks in his heart, but he couldn't answer them.

"If this is true, how good it would be!" Gu Xiaoshi thought, but the expectation was covered by anger in a blink of an eye, this group of hateful liars, deceived again and again, this is the last time, and next time, call 110 to report the case, looking at the letter paper in his hand, the light yellow is so elegant, from time to time there is a faint woody fragrance, Gu Xiaoshi sighed, his sister has another paper plane, and then threw the letter paper into the drawer.

There was a soft knock on the door behind him, his mother stood outside the house, and Gu Xiaoshi said hello: "Mom." ”

Mother nodded and asked, "Xiaoshi, who sent you the courier?"

"No, it's still those liars, saying that it is a foreign college, and I asked me to write an admission application last time, but I ignored it, no, here it is again, and I said that someone has been sent to solve my doubts. Gu Xiaoshi replied casually: "It's really excessive, it's endless." ”

"......" The mother did not answer, but was silent, and only then said, "Do you want to study abroad?"

"No, never that way. Gu Xiaoshi lowered his head and didn't look at his mother's gaze, he knew that for this family, what a ridiculous thing it was to study abroad, he really hadn't thought about it, he had never thought about it, and he never dared to think about it.

"Then ......," the mother didn't know what to say.

"Those scammers are so funny, I don't know how they got my address, and I don't know how they got here, what's there to deceive?"

"Xiaoshi, your father left early, your mother is too useless, she can't give you anything, it's your mother who is sorry for you......" Mother said in a low voice.

Gu Xiaoshi raised his head and found that tears flashed in the corners of his mother's eyes, and a sad emotion suddenly surged into his heart, and he said gloomily: "No...... Not really...... Mom, I'm not going, I'm just here, I'm not going anywhere. ”

"Mom, I'm sorry for you...... It's Mommy......" Mom muttered, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Gu Xiaoshi didn't know what to say, the mother and son were silent, and his sister's delicate voice came from outside the house: "Mom, I'm hungry, how long do I have to eat?"

The mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and turned to leave.

"Is it useful to think so much?" Gu Xiaoshi shook his head vigorously, wanting to shake off those unhappy things, seeing that it was noon, let's help cook.

Everyone has dreams, and Gu Xiaoshi is certainly no exception.

Gu Xiaoshi's dream is very simple, he just hopes that he can have a chance, he can go out to see, he can go out to break through, he doesn't care if he can succeed, whether he will fail, and he doesn't even care if he will go back to the original point after going around in a big circle, he longs, that's all.

Gu Xiaoshi was conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he has been looking forward to such an opportunity to get out of here and go to the outside world, even if he is just a passerby, he also wants to feel the difference of the outside world. Maybe it was a restless heart, maybe it was the throbbing of being eighteen, and he didn't want to stay in this place all the time, this small and closed place. On the other hand, he can't let go of this family, he can't let go of his mother and his sister who is a few years old, he knows that if he leaves, the situation at home will get worse, his sister is so young, the kindergarten in the community has been closed, it is impossible for his mother to leave his sister to find a job outside, at least not for a few years, besides, this place is about to be demolished, the house has not yet been settled, once all the money is spent on buying a house, there is no savings, and there is no source of income, what should this family do? You can't let your mother take her sister to work every day, right?

After knowing that he was adopted, Gu Xiaoshi also thought of his biological parents and wanted to know why they abandoned him, but he didn't have that inexplicable feeling of heartache, and some were just thanks, thanking them for giving him life and living, isn't it good?

Yes, it's good to be alive, and to be alive is to have a chance.

It was night, Gu Xiaoshi had insomnia, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep for a long time. Remembering the letter he received during the day, he got up and turned on the lamp, took it out of the drawer, took out the last one together, and put it side by side on the table, staring blankly at the two letters of the same material and color, his heart was full of waves, knowing that this was a pie that he should not and did not deserve to eat, but there was still a trace of luck lingering in his heart, are these liars really idiots? Such a stupid thing will be done twice, and this paper is so beautiful, this postmark is really foreign, will it ......?

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoshi picked up the Macbook given to him by Wang Fatzi and ran to the downstairs of the next unit to rub the net.

The domestic search engine couldn't find any information about this academy at all, Gu Xiaoshi's heart was half cold at that time, and he tried it with a foreign search engine nervously, and actually found some relevant information, not much, all in English, I can only understand a little, but I just know that this academy really exists. Gu Xiaoshi logged on to the college's website according to the URL in the letter, and when the homepage opened, he looked at several beautiful photos on the page and found that he was deeply attracted.

A large expanse of medieval European-style buildings sits on a hillside, surrounded by mountains behind it, and next to what is supposed to be a lake. The weather was nice at the time of shooting, the wind was mild, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and you could even see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The Gothic spire is so elegant in the sun, and together with the scenery of the lake and the mountains, it forms a beautiful picture. In a few other close-ups, students in school uniforms are chatting and laughing on the beautiful campus, beautiful sculptures and flowers blooming everywhere, equipment displays unknown to Gu Xiaoshi, a huge antique library, and even the mouth-watering drinks and food in the college cafeteria. Everything is so beautiful, it's not just an academy, it's like a beautiful park.

Looking at these postcard-like college photos, Gu Xiaoshi was suspicious, he had also browsed the photos of those international famous schools, and it seemed that this college was no worse than those famous universities with a long history, at least from the photos. Such a beautiful college should have a good reputation, right? The quality of teaching is not too bad, right? Why is it not well-known in China? Could it be that these are all fictitious by liars?

The basic information that can be found on the academy website is some general introduction, more content needs access permission, there is no way to further understand, so I can only give up, close the Macbook, hesitate for a long time, and repeatedly warn myself, don't believe the other party's words, Gu Xiaoshi finally mustered up the courage, took out the phone, and dialed the number left in the letter.
