Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Compared to most people, he has lived an easy and fulfilling life.

He has enough time to read, appreciate, and travel around the world.

His steps have traveled all over the world, including the Antarctic and the northernmost point of the world.

He has been to islands, deserts, mountains, streams, glaciers, canyons, and waterfalls in winter, summer, and all four seasons.

I have seen the sunrise on the mountain top and the sunset on the sea.

He once tasted dishes prepared by famous chefs in high-rise luxury hotels.

I also walked through the alleys of the city and wandered around the street food.

He has walked through the busiest streets in the world and also been to the most wild places.

While in Afika state, he saw lions hunting.

In a country of fighting nations, he once drove tanks, helicopters, and even fighter jets and had a great time riding on them.

He may have been to more places and seen a bigger world than more than 99% of the people in this world in his lifetime.

He has been casual and free-spirited throughout his life, and his material and spiritual wealth have left him with basically nothing to worry about.

Now this eighty-eight-year-old man, whose steps are hobbled,

There are countless beautiful and shocking pictures in my mind.

His life was richer than most.

Even before, when domestic private aerospace also developed,

He also spent money to buy a ticket to space, and once overlooked the living planet from space.

Although he has never been married in his life,

But speaking of it, when he was young, he actually had a lot of fun and met a lot of people.

and,

He is not very lonely either,

Every time he travels here, he is always able to make some friends as he is free and easy.

Some of these friends have gradually lost contact over the years, some have passed away, but some are still in touch with each other even now.

Mo Dao remembered that there was a sentence like this in a book decades ago,

There is only one kind of success, which is to live life in your own way.

And there is no doubt that Mo Dao achieved this.

So is his life considered a success?

The old-looking Mo Dao smiled, then raised his hand to cover his face with a book in his hand.

The sun was still shining on him, and the old trees in front of the house rustled in the wind.

"Uncle Mo, the wind is a bit cold, do you want to put on some extra clothes?"

Next to him, a gentle female voice sounded,

"No."

Mo Dao took off the book covering his face, looked to the side, and responded with a smile.

Next to him is the housekeeper or life assistant he hired.

I have been working for him for almost twenty years.

He has always been very attentive and considerate, even a little too considerate and considerate.

From the time I was in my twenties, I worked for him until I was in my forties, and I was not even married yet.

Maybe I have some ideas.

After all, everyone in this villa knows,

He is a rich old man with no wife and no children.

But Mo Dao actually didn't care about this.

Regardless of his deeds, he doesn't care about his heart, and no matter what he thinks in his heart, he does take care of him with extra care.

It’s been like one day for more than twenty years.

Is there anything wrong with just having some expectations for good things?

And to be honest, Mo Dao didn't really mind leaving something to the person who had taken care of him for decades.

If he dies, the things behind him will be of little use to him.

"Xiaoyun, you have been coming to my place for more than 20 years, right?"

"That's almost it, Uncle Mo."

"You are forty-six now."

"Yes, Uncle Mo."

"Yeah. Take it."

Mo Dao smiled and stopped the life assistant who was about to turn around and leave.

He took out a document from under him.

"Uncle Mo?"

"The will has been notarized. After my death, the property will be divided into two parts, and half will be donated. For the other half, you, Ah Yue, and Ming De will each have 10%."

Mo Dao smiled and said calmly.

"Uncle Mo?!"

"I...Uncle Mo, this..."

Although I have thought about this kind of thing, when such a great good thing happens to me,

The life assistant named Xiaoyun was still a little shaken. She was incoherent and her face turned red. She was so excited that she didn’t know what to say.

Looking at the already old Mo Dao again, my heart was suddenly blocked by various emotions, and my eyes were a little red for a while.

"Uncle Mo..."

"Okay, I don't want to hear any words of gratitude or excitement. Why don't you go see if the food in the kitchen is good. I want to take a rest."

Mo Dao, an old man, still remained casual and carefree, just waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Mo."

Knowing that Mo Dao didn't like to hear coy words, Xiaoyun just bowed deeply to Mo Dao, wiped his eyes, turned around and walked back into the house.

But there are still tears accumulating in the tear frame.

There was the excitement of a sudden surprise, some inexplicable feelings of being touched by this, and some more complex emotions.

After more than twenty years of companionship, to be honest, most biological daughters would not be able to stay with her for such a long time.

It is impossible to say that she has no feelings for Uncle Mo.

What's more, in her mind, Uncle Mo is also a kind old man with a good personality, a good person, and rich experience.

When she heard that the old man had made a will, she actually felt panic inside...

"Um."

Mo Dao responded, covered his face with the book in his hand, and lay on his back on the recliner.

After the footsteps faded away, the surroundings became quiet again.

Mo Dao enjoyed the silence at this moment,

But under the book covering his head, his eyes were opening.

My eyes were already a little cloudy, and my vision was blurry.

But the string of numbers that was always flowing like an hourglass was still clear.

"12"

This number, which flows once a minute, has passed through almost seventy years.

There are only two digits left.

Some time ago, a routine physical examination at a private hospital confirmed what he had suspected seventy years ago when he was first reborn.

At that time, the countdown figures were converted to about thirty days.

And his personal doctor told him that his body might not be able to take it any longer.

It's not a sudden illness, but his body is too old.

Perhaps aging is also a disease, but in this era there is no cure.

At that time, he was finally sure that the string of numbers flowing in front of him represented his lifespan.

Time falls on him like clockwork on a toy puppet,

When the last bit of power of the clockwork is exhausted, it is death.

"11"

The number jumped again.

What will happen when this number reaches zero?

Just death?

Mo Dao felt that his body was getting heavier and tired.

He was so tired that he felt as if he was climbing a mountain or getting close to a big fish on a cruise ship.

"9"

The numbers continued to beat.

Mo Dao felt a little reluctant to think about it.

He should probably get some sleep now...

"5"

He took off the book covering his face and looked at the dappled sunlight passing through the gaps in the shade of the trees.

My exhausted body felt as if it was sinking.

He felt a little stuffy in his chest,

In fact, the same old lungs seemed to be out of breath.

"2"

"1"

There was only one minute left, and Mo Dao was so tired that he no longer wanted to think.

He just wanted to close his eyes and get some rest.

The countdown is ending.

This was his last thought,

Then, he lost consciousness in the next moment.

"0"

At the same time, the countdown also jumped to the end.

Will the countdown disappear after it jumps to 0?

Mo Dao has no way to think about this problem.

At the end, he just heard Xiaoyun, the life assistant, seemed to run out of the house and calling him.

The next moment, Mo Dao completely lost consciousness.

…

"The famous traveler, Mr. Modao, died at home today at the age of eighty-eight."

"Have a good trip. I still remember that I saw the video you took on the Internet. The glacier you took is very beautiful."
