"Brother Mo sent two children for me to take care of?"
Gu Dan was more or less confused.
Especially when I saw the baby in Gong Shangguo's arms, who was probably just born and still in swaddling clothes, his head was so big.
Does he have any experience in taking care of children? Such a small child looks funny and cute in other people's arms. It's my turn to take care of it... I'm afraid it's hard to tell.
"Yes, Brother Gu has medical skills, which can protect the child from premature death. It is best to put it here with you." Gong Shangguo said with certainty.
In this era, the mortality rate of children is extremely horrific, especially in their early years.
Even the children of the royal family often die young even if they receive the best care. Ordinary people still have many children even if they are extremely poor. This is partly due to this reason.
I would rather have the extra children starve to death than gamble on the chance of having one who will grow up lucky!
Gu Dan's family was a royal doctor, and his medical skills were considered to be at the pinnacle in such an era. However, his biological mother still died after giving birth to him, and it was beyond the power of human resources to save her at this time.
It sounds ridiculous to have a big butt that is good for fertility, but it is actually a lesson learned from blood and tears among the people.
From this point of view, it is indeed the best choice to leave the child with him. At the worst, he can hire a wet nurse to breastfeed him.
"All right."
Gu Dan sighed softly, unable to refuse.
Mo Qiu is willing to run for the people of Dawn, regardless of his own safety. The child entrusted to him before leaving is more or less a thought.
Taking the little baby from Gong Shang's arms, Gu Dan gently opened the corner of the swaddling clothes and took a look. It was a boy, so he asked, "Does he have a name?"
"name......"
Gong Shang thought for a moment and saw the orange sunset in the distance about to disappear into the darkness. There was only half a wisp of smoke left in the red sky. The sky was vast and infinite, carrying everything by itself, silently. He blurted out for a moment: "How about calling me Cang?"
"Cang? A very impressive name."
Gu Dan nodded, "Then let's call him Mo Cang? This..."
Mo Cang, that's Black Sky. It's really not very auspicious and doesn't fit in with the naming aesthetics of this era.
Gong Shangguo also shook his head repeatedly. The surname Mo Cang was really inappropriate, so he couldn't help but said: "Since I am adopted by Brother Gu, why not call me Gu Cang?"
"That's too big."
Gu Dan thought it was inappropriate, "Let's call him Cang first, and we'll tell him his last name later. He's still a little kid."
"That's fine."
Gong Shangguo nodded slightly. He would have plenty of time to think about these things later.
"Let's talk first, and I'll settle the child."
Gu Dan walked to the bedside with the baby in his arms, thought for a while, and placed the spiritual stone that had not been completely absorbed by the baby's side.
Anyway, no one absorbs the spiritual stone and the spiritual energy will continue to escape outwards. His absorption is already saturated at this time, so it is better to take advantage of this little guy.
Cang was very well-behaved, neither noisy nor fussy, and looked at Gu Dan quietly with her big eyes without blinking.
Gong Shangguo and Xun Ke came in together, and Gu Dan took out some tea. It was cold in winter, so he really needed tea to warm his body.
"What happened during the trip to Yuzhou? Who caused Brother Mo's injuries?"
After finishing these trivial matters, Gu Dan finally asked.
Although he has not set foot in Yuzhou, news has come from the imperial capital. The news he spent money to find out is that Yuzhou at this time is extremely dangerous.
"After learning the news that Yuzhou was hit by a star, Brother Mo began to summon the Mo people. He originally wanted to go to Yuzhou to help the disaster. Unexpectedly, there was news that the star was a so-called fairy stone. Even if it was just beside it, it could be easily Not old.
After confirming that the source of the news was credible, Brother Mo knew that this matter was of great importance. If anything went wrong, Kyushu would be overthrown, so he traveled all day and night and took the lead towards Yuzhou alone, working day and night for ten consecutive days. to the scene. "Gong Shangguo was holding the steaming tea cup, his face full of admiration.
Yuzhou is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital. Most of the way along the way there are dangerous mountains and forests. The stars in the sky fell into Yuzhou, and it took a full fifteen days for Yuzhou to deliver the news back to the imperial capital!
This is the shortest time it takes to gallop on horseback, travel under the stars and night, and run along flat official roads and roadside stations where you can change fast horses at all times.
“Running for ten days to get to Yuzhou?!”
Gu Dan's eyes narrowed. Although he expected that Mo Qiu would be the first to arrive, and it would be extremely difficult to obtain 20% of the sky stars, he did not expect that Mo Qiu would have such great perseverance.
The running speed of a martial arts master is indeed much faster than that of a fast horse. In a short period of time, even a thousand-mile horse has to move back a little and cannot even catch ashes.
But such speed comes at a price, how can true energy be endless? Your body won’t feel exhausted and unstoppable?
Running for three or four hours is already considered a big deal, but Mo Qiu, running for a full ten days, was more than 60% faster than the urgent court documents!
"When I and a group of Mo practitioners arrived in Yuzhou, it took nearly twenty days. This was because all the Mo practitioners who went here were martial arts masters working day and night. In order to get to Yuzhou as quickly as possible, Brother Mo had no time to spare. The shins are hairless, they are exposed to the rain, and they are protected by the strong wind, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
When Gong Shangguo talked about this matter, his admiration was beyond words, "When we arrived, there were still countless powerful people fighting against each other. Some people were even jealous of each other. Whenever they saw someone, they felt that the other party had hidden the fairy stone, and either handed it over, Or die, without any sense at all.
Brother Mo has already obtained the Immortal Stone and confirmed that it is not as useful as the rumors, so it should not cause chaos in the world. But everyone has their own desires. Unless you witness and try it with your own eyes, you won’t believe what outsiders say.
Coupled with the fact that waves of powerful people from all over the world have received the news and poured into Yuzhou, trying to compete for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the chaos in Yuzhou is getting worse! In order to avoid the most dangerous situation, Brother Mo stepped forward, holding the fairy stone, and visited the heroes who came one by one.
You can let them experience the authenticity of the Immortal Stone first, and then withdraw on your own. If you are unwilling to withdraw from Yuzhou, you can say it again after defeating him. If you still refuse to retreat, you would rather kill than stay.
Many scholars and I did not participate in the fight for the immortal stone. We only held the fine pieces of the immortal stone to tell those martial arts masters that this object could not make people immortal, or even truly achieve immortality.
In this way, among the 180 Mohists who have gone, more than half are still dead or injured! "
Gong Shang's eyes showed a cold light and his voice was extremely cold.
It sounds simple, as if it can be summarized in three or two sentences.
But those Mohists who died in Yuzhou will never stand up again.
The incident in Yuzhou was settled after three months, not because no one wanted to grab the immortal stone again, but because a group of Mohists left a warning with their lives.
Gu Dan's lips parted slightly. Gong Shangguo did not tell those details in detail, but if you think about it, you will know that there are many warriors who took the opportunity to attack Mo Qiu and Mo Zhe. There is nothing wrong with saying "Don't take it easy".
To be chivalrous and benevolent, you really need to risk your life.
After a pause, Gu Dan asked: "Where is Xiong Qihu?"
Gong Shang was silent for a moment and said: "He died in the hands of a martial arts master named Huang Chao."
