Chapter 19: Rest, Night, Future
"Amazing! That's amazing! Mr. Gu Wu, like Grandpa Del, can actually find so many delicious things! It's very impressive! Can you have another bowl? That meat is delicious! ”
Hearing Yuli, who wanted to eat another canned meat, say this, Gu Wu denied it with a wry smile when she was taught a lesson by Qianhu.
"I'm not such a powerful person, I'm far behind old man Del, because he is more powerful and determined than me."
Gu Wu used to be just a guy who knew how to read words and emotions and often played clever.
He gets along with his friends smoothly outside, and when he gets home, he has food to eat, even if he lives alone, he doesn't cook by himself every day, except for the bento, it is fast food, so at that time he was taught many times by the landlord's grandmother.
At that time, the landlady was very gentle, and she would occasionally give the tenant some uneaten specialties that her children gave him, and she would always mention her lovely grandson, and she would definitely show a happy expression at that moment.
For the grandmother, her life should be lucky and happy enough, after all, she no longer has to worry about the future of her children, she can live well, and then meet with her separated family from time to time to talk about recent experiences and some worries.
When it comes to life, Gu Wu admired those classmates who 'enjoyed youth' in high school.
Right and wrong aside, the guys don't focus on their studies anyway, and a few maverick boys do a lot of things they want to do before the final result is out, as if telling others 'my youth has been staked'.
Rebellion is also a part of youth, but unlike Gu Wu, who almost didn't skip class, those people often think of ways to avoid make-up classes, and then run outside to play crazy.
School is a microcosm of society, and those students just don't follow the rules, which means that they won't be recognized by many people, but that doesn't necessarily lead them into a bad situation.
Spending their youth where they think is right, before determining the right or wrong of this action, it is certain that they are in some way brave.
Although Gu Wu mixed well in college, he often felt a sense of disobedience.
Whether it's a classroom or a dormitory, the whole school is like a giant sink, and the students who form a circle of students peek into the outside world while talking about their ideals with their friends, and most of them end up in a bottomless quagmire that is difficult to get out of.
If you want to climb over the sink, the outside world is even more tricky, because that is just taking you from a small circle into a larger circle.
Gu Wu, who has completed several agent tasks, finally realized the teacher's hard conscience, after all, those 'artists' are like students who often encounter trouble for Gu Wu, and one carelessness may cause them to fall into a greater crisis.
You must know that helping others is not as simple as walking over to lend a hand, but also thinking about the problems that the other person encounters, the causes of the problems, and the means to solve the causes.
Not only that, but some people are not willing to accept help from outsiders easily, whether they are stubborn or have too high self-esteem, the guys with these attributes are not easy to deal with.
The most important thing is to understand that saving others is not because of mercy, nor from the perspective of the good to look down on those who are in difficulty, but to know how to understand the other person and relieve the other person's defense.
However, due to the different relationships of individuals, trying to enter the hearts of others is not acceptable to everyone.
For example, Del, who may have reached the next level, Gu Wu would not discuss with him about his daughter with a clear face, after all, being separated from his family in such an environment was something that Gu Wu had never experienced.
Just like the saying mentioned earlier, 'Life is beautiful, you shouldn't be depressed' is equivalent to saying to an asthma patient, 'Why are you having trouble breathing, there is a lot of air around you'.
It's all right to use a subjective perspective to understand what others are thinking, but it's a mistake to think that it will help them.
Therefore, Gu Wu thinks that his 'agent' is not to help 'artists' solve difficulties, but to help 'artists' find 'ways to solve difficulties'.
"I don't think we really helped much, Grandpa Del has always been alone until now."
Qianhu said this after eating the lunch box in her hand, and she looked a little depressed.
"Xiao Qian's idea is not right! Didn't we help Grandpa Del protect the warehouse and clean up the flower roots? It's not like you haven't done anything! That's why the meals are so delicious, because the meals after labor are the best! ”
"The latter one can be agreed, but the matter of protecting the warehouse is basically done by Mr. Gu Wu, right? With that super powerful ability. ”
Qianhu was right about this, if it weren't for Gu Wu's existence, whether it was Del or the two girls, they might have died in that impact.
But then again, assuming that Gu Wu hadn't arrived here and didn't have this mission, would Old Man Del meet Qianhu and them? Will there be that accident? And then...... Will you be involved in this collapse?
Gu Wu, who has watched "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", knows very well that the plot will not change if the world line does not change, the question is that if he doesn't come here, will the world line change because of this? Then the problems they encounter are ......
"Most of the credit belongs to Mr. Gu Wu, and we have been helped a lot, especially you are a little content!"
"I can't deny this! It's great to meet Mr. Gu Wu! ”
Just when Gu Wu was thinking nonsense, the two girls affirmed Gu Wu's existence.
To be honest, Gu Wu is very happy, because it is not a bad thing to be recognized and affirmed by others, at least he understands that he has a lot of value, and perhaps the fun of being an 'agent' is also here.
It is true that people should not live by the evaluation of others, but if they can bring happiness to others and make themselves happy, what is the harm?
"Thanks, I'm lucky to meet you......"
This world is big, big and terrible, and every road, every region, and every class is extremely complicated, so being able to encounter it can be said to be an accident within an accident, an accident within an accident.
"Then Mr. Gu Wu, let's exchange the side dishes in the bento to show our friendliness...... Woo! It hurts!! ”
"Stupid, there's only food left in your bowl!"
"Hey, hey, but the thousand households ate quickly tonight."
"Well, because I'm going to take a look around again, ...... one last time"
Hearing Qianhu say this, Gu Wu stopped her.
"It's dangerous at night, even with moonlight and lights, after all, there are terrain defects that can't be easily seen and avoided at night, if you really want to look for it again, just wait until tomorrow."
Old Man Del must have reached the lower level, but Qianhu still looked a little uneasy.
Nearly ten hours have passed since the collapse, and in Gu Wu's opinion, since he didn't find Old Man Del's figure and didn't hear his cry for help, most of them had successfully left here, and if it was another possibility, even if they found it, it would be useless.
Thinking of this, Gu Wu began to look for firewood nearby that could be used to burn, and Qianhu and Yuri also moved, rummaging through the wood that was blocked by the ruins and covered by rocks.
Piling up the wood he found, Gu Wu lit the flammable packaging bag again, and a pungent smell came out at the same time, and it was also thrown into the wood pile by Gu Wu.
At first, it burned very slowly, but once there was a fire, a piece of wood burned violently, and the fire suddenly exploded, and the flickering warm light of the fire also ignited this ruined land in the last days.
————
The white moonlight falling overhead overlapped with the orange fireworks, and the ground nearby took on a mixture of white and red.
Gu Wu, who was sitting next to the fire, added new firewood to it, and the sparks splashed everywhere while ensuring that it would not be extinguished in a short time.
Since Yuri ate the most during the dinner time just now, Qianhu asked Yuri to exercise more, and the way to exercise was to go to the neighborhood to collect firewood.
"I have to say that the night in this world has a unique charm."
"Really? Mr. Gu Wu seems to have a good impression of this sky......"
"It's not good to talk about it, in fact, it's almost the same everywhere, and the reason why people feel different depends on the environment they are in, and this class is ......"
Hearing Gu Wu say this, Qianhu looked at the starry sky above his head with him.
"I sometimes have a really bad idea."
"Very bad idea? What does that mean? ”
In Gu Wu's opinion, whether it is Qianhu or Yuli, they are all optimistic in nature, it is better to say that they have to be optimistic.
"I knew it was the moon, and I knew it was the stars, but ...... Sometimes it feels like they'll suddenly fall down and destroy the world again, which is even more terrifying than the falling objects at the bottom of the stratum they've encountered before. ”
Gu Wu fell into a brief silence.
"That's not out of the question...... But it's useless to think about those questions now, is it? ”
Suppose the dinosaurs knew a long, long time ago that meteorites would fall on Earth, what could they do? And what can be done?
In the face of irreversible misfortunes and crises, we must find ways to adapt to their consequences.
Whether you can adapt to it or not, it is important to understand that life in front of you is everything, whether it is a vision for the future or an anxiety about the future, and you must learn to reduce their impact and ensure that you can live freely.
Just like the 'life to death' mentioned earlier, it will come to an end anyway, so why not enjoy it?
Of course, optimism is not ignorance, and it is necessary to maintain appropriate vigilance.
In the final analysis, Gu Wu believes that finding a middle point, a balance point, is the most important thing.
"Thousand households...... You and Yuri are both very powerful, so even if you encounter a difficult thing, I believe you can solve it. ”
Gu Wuke didn't have the confidence to live in this world forever, so he admired the two girls who had survived to the present.
At first, Gu Wu planned to invite them to the world he exchanged for when he met them, but he didn't plan to interfere with their journey before that.
Chinohe and Yuri both have their own plans, and it is not the right thing to do to casually deny the decisions they made together.
Gu Wu thought that he would definitely meet them again after this, and at that time, he would have to make a choice for them.
"Hey! Get it on! I've found so much firewood! The two of you had a great time chatting just now! Don't wait for me! ”
"Eat more, of course, do more."
"Xiao Qian is right, does Mr. Gu Wu still have a bento? We can use the flower root exchange! ”
deliberately misinterpreted Qianhu's meaning, and Yuli took the opportunity to make a profit from Gu Wu's hands.
Since Gu Wu was going to leave this world next, bringing the remaining food would no avail.
"Really! Did you hear what I said?! ”
"It's just a joke, but Xiao Qian also likes what Mr. Gu Wu found, right?"
"It's delicious, isn't it...... But......! ”
The two girls fell into a daily dispute, and Gu Wu, who was laughing, also joined them in the conversation.
"I'll give them to you if you need them, because I won't need them too much in the future, so it's okay for you to take them."
"Huh?"
Hearing Gu Wu say this, Yuli showed a rare troubled expression.
Qianhu, who was gently turning the fire with her hand on the side, was directly stunned, and then she moved her body to close the distance between her and Gu Wu.
"What Mr. Gu Wu said just now...... We all know that we can't survive if we have all the food. ”
"Yes, I understand it too."
"That's weird! Why give us all the food? ”
"Because I don't need it."
"No way!"
Chito said this, and Yuri on the side also stretched out her hands to deny.
"My thoughts are the same as Xiaoqian, it's too outrageous to give them all, and you will get tired of eating too much delicious food! Probably! So no! ”
Hearing their resolute speeches, Gu Wu realized that what he said this time had made them misunderstood.
Food equals survival, and Gu Wu giving them food means 'giving up survival', which is why they are so determined.
"If Mr. Gu Wu encounters problems, we will also try to help!"
"Xiaoqian can't do it, I'll do it! It's always been like this! ”
"No matter how you think about it, I do a lot of things!"
Regarding their speeches, Gu Wu immediately lied and explained
"There is a reason why these supplies are given to you, because I also have a small base, and the food there is enough for me to use alone, and I can find it in half a day's journey, and you must need more food than me."
"Is that so......"
Qianhu looked a little unconvinced.
"That's it, so don't worry about my future, because like you, I have to work hard to live, and that's the kind of future we choose!"
The true meaning of life is to live hard to live.
