Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.
Thousands of snowflakes are falling from the sky, crystal clear and white, everything is brand new, wrapped in red makeup, it is the end of the year again.
Time slips quietly through the fingers, the stars and rivers turn, and the vegetation experiences new prosperity.
The world has grown one year older.
Gu family courtyard.
The small stove on the stone table was warming the wine, and the sound of "gurgling" kept coming, and the rich aroma of the wine overflowed.
The doctor in green robes was sitting on the stone pier. The snowflakes fell on him, giving him a slight chill, but the weather at this time was actually not too cold.
Gu Dan no longer held the book, but just stared at the small flame that kept licking the wine bottle, his eyes were deep and calm, with the light of memories in his eyes.
Occasionally, a cold wind would blow, and his green robe and hair would be blown together, making a slight sound, making him look even more quiet.
The wine is already warm.
Those who can drink are not here for the time being.
There were not many people in the courtyard, and it was far from quiet.
On the contrary, the excitement was a bit too much.
Cang somehow got entangled with Qin Lisheng. At this moment, he grabbed a handful of snow and insisted on stuffing it into Qin Lisheng's mouth.
Facing Qin Lisheng, who was able to make things difficult for Xun Ke in every possible way, he seemed a little stretched and difficult to deal with at this time.
The good news is that Xun Ke is not doing well either.
At this time, he was sitting under the willow tree in a daze.
Ever since he read the letter from Mo Qiu, Xun Ke was often in a daze.
The words "universal love and non-offensive" are of course a very good thing.
But he didn't quite agree.
The world of great harmony that Master Mo expected is so far away from this moment, so far away that no hope can be seen despite the hard work of dozens of generations.
As an ultimate goal, there's really nothing wrong with that.
But it is too harsh to be a Mohist.
We cannot expect every Mohist to be a born saint. This is too unreliable.
When the distance between ideal and reality is too far, people cannot feel the slightest warmth.
It's a pity that he can't find anyone to discuss this issue.
Qin Lisheng is Mo Qiu's ultimate supporter, which makes no sense to him.
Mr. Gu is a very nice person, but he has never cared much about these things and rarely talks about his own opinions. If he had to describe it, he is probably what the outside world calls a "master outside the world". He is in this world and his heart is not there.
So he can only think about it by himself.
If universal love requires attack, how can we have a goal that is both lofty and ambitious enough to save the world and the people?
This question will probably take you a long, long time to think about.
These doubts were buried in his heart, making the young man keep thinking.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a snowball the size of a washbasin fell on his head.
Xun Ke's whole head was buried in the snow, and his eyes widened in confusion.
Has it started to snow so heavily?
"Hahahahaha!"
He didn't wonder for too long, and a voice as sweet as silver bells but also arrogant enough began to echo in the small courtyard.
Xun Ke's face immediately darkened.
"Xiaoying!"
Xun Ke helplessly wiped the snow off his head and body and shouted angrily.
"Idiot! Why are you getting more and more stupid? It's snowing, come and play!" Xiaoying was still holding a ball of snow in her hand, and she quickly stuffed it into Xun Ke's mouth while he was talking.
Xun Ke: "."
I can't live this day!
"I'll fight you!"
Xun Ke suddenly jumped up and grabbed the snowflakes falling on his body to throw them on her body.
The two began to circle around the small courtyard, and Xiaoying's provocative voice occasionally sounded.
"Can you do it, idiot! I'm either practicing martial arts or being in a daze all day, and I'm almost stupid!" Xiaoying avoided the snowballs thrown by Xun Ke, but she didn't forget to take the opportunity to provoke Xun Ke's anger level.
While the chase was going on, the courtyard door opened.
Xu Zhian walked in with a food box and was almost hit by Xiaoying who ran over.
"Grandpa Xu!"
Xiaoying's eyes lit up, she rushed forward and hugged Xu Zhian's other hand, and said aggrievedly: "Xun Ke bullied me!"
Xun Ke, holding a snowball: "."
"You two, let's go play together."
Xu Zhian patted her head, but was not fooled by the appearance. He came to Gu Dan with a food box and cursed: "Why, when I die, I won't even go to the hospital, right?"
"Uncle Xu."
Gu Dan explained helplessly: "You didn't let me go."
Ever since he beat up the Forbidden Army, things were a little different from before.
For example, the last time he went to the Taiyuan Hospital, he was watched by the doctors from the Taiyuan Hospital. There was also a bold person who did not want to reveal his name. He suggested that since Gu Dan was here, he could study the body of the martial arts master for them. Sample?
After all, they are both human beings, but the physical body of a martial arts master can be immortal for a hundred years. The doctors at the imperial hospital have been curious about it for a long time.
It's just that in the past, you couldn't even meet a dead martial arts master. Now that you finally meet a living acquaintance, you have to be bolder!
Fortunately, Xu Zhian showed up in time to save him. At that time, the group of imperial doctors were already considering whether crane crown red and arsenic were useful to martial arts masters, a question that required real experiments.
"You won't go if I don't let you go?"
Xu Zhian raised his eyebrows, and his gray beard was already trembling up and down, like an angry old lion.
Gu Dan: "."
At this moment, he suddenly understood Xun Ke.
Fortunately, the courtyard door opened again, and a beautiful figure stepped forward, also holding a food box in his hand, attracting attention and helping him out.
"Uncle Xu, are you here too?"
Lin Xiaoyi smiled and said hello first, then turned to stare at Xiaoying who was running around the yard, and her voice became darker, "Isn't the little girl in need of cleaning up again?"
"mother!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoyi, Xiaoying immediately became a good girl again. She quickly ran to her, stretched out her little hand to pat the falling snowflakes on her body, with a sweet smile on her face, "You are here, I I was just talking about missing you! It’s so cold, so you should wear more clothes!”
Do you know what a considerate little cotton-padded jacket is?
"Being here all day long makes me lose my temper. How about going back to the palace to stay for a few days?" Lin Xiaoyi pinched Xiaoying's plumper little face and asked.
"I don't want to go to the palace!" Xiaoying shook her head repeatedly.
The palace was so boring. People were watching everywhere, which could make people sick.
"Then be honest and don't bully Xun Ke all the time!"
Lin Xiaoyi stretched out her hand and tapped his forehead, admonishing.
"I don't!"
Xiaoying said affirmatively.
"Step aside and play."
After Xiaoying was sent away, Lin Xiaoyi also came to the table and placed the food box on the table.
"Uncle Xu seems to be getting better and better. Doesn't Brother Gu have a girl he likes yet? Do you want me to introduce you to some beautiful girls from the royal family?"
Lin Xiaoyi spoke naturally and said with a smile.
"Just him? I'm afraid I won't be able to see him get married in this life!"
Xu Zhian had already given up on planning to marry Gu Dan. He finally saw that this kid didn't want to get married at all!
When the three of them got together, they never talked about important matters of family or country. They were all about trivial matters such as the parents' feud, or the fact that the child of a certain imperial doctor in the imperial hospital was getting married.
The dark clouds hanging over Big Moon's head seemed to disappear temporarily along with the snowflakes.
Zongming's thirty-seventh year, the last year recorded with Zongming as the era name, passed quietly in this calm calm.
There was peace in the small courtyard.
