When Gu Dan found Xun Ke, Xun Ke was indeed comforting a little girl.
Xiaoying.
There was also Cang who stayed beside Xiaoying, trying hard to make faces and make her laugh.
No wonder I sometimes feel extra pure. It turns out that the naughty child is not around.
"Don't be sad."
Xun Ke's face turned red from suppressing it, and it took him a while to say anything.
Xiaoying didn't speak, she just squatted there blankly, with her hands around her knees, and her eyes were almost unfocused.
Gu Dan's memory seemed to return to the Taiyuan Hospital where Zongming lived for 12 years.
There was once a woman who was so confused.
"Xiaoying."
Gu Dan walked forward and squatted down in front of her.
"Gu, Uncle Gu?"
Xiaoying's expressionless face suddenly "awoke". She grabbed Gu Dan's hands as if grabbing a life-saving straw. Tears burst out of her eyes at this moment, and she said anxiously: "Uncle Gu, Please save my mother, please save my mother!"
"."
Gu Dan said nothing, patted the girl's palm gently and said nothing.
"Uncle Gu, your medical skills are very good. You can even save Lieyang Tianju from falling into pieces. You can definitely save my mother, right?!"
Xiaoying's tears were like bursting from a dam, and she could no longer control her tense emotions. She cried loudly, like a cuckoo crying for blood.
The loss of both parents was also sudden.
Doom seems to be doomed and entangled.
Gu Dan, who had become a great master, could only remain silent.
After a long time, when the girl's wails turned into sobs, Gu Dan finally said: "I have already killed Lord White Lotus."
"I just want my mother."
Xiaoying wiped away her tears with her sleeves, her eyes were red and swollen.
Revenge, revenge, that was something she had to consider only as a last resort, and she still had expectations in her heart.
Since Uncle Gu is so powerful, he must be able to save my mother, right?
"It's in the past."
Gu Dan reached out and rubbed Xiaoying's head. After a moment of silence, he said, "You still have us, cheer up. Your mother doesn't want to be rescued."
Yes, Lin Xiaoyi didn't want to be rescued.
It can be seen from the letter she informed Qin Lisheng.
She was the one who attracted the White Lotus Leader. She had time and opportunity to leave.
But she didn't.
Including before, before Gu Dan left, if Lin Xiaoyi asked for help in revenge, he wouldn't mind killing Dayue in advance - but Lin Xiaoyi didn't either.
She wanted revenge, wanted to take revenge herself.
From beginning to end, Lin Xiaoyi did not ask him for anything.
The girl who suffered a sudden disaster in the Imperial Hospital in the past used her own way to bring disaster to the Otsuki royal family as a queen.
Dayue did not die in the hands of the four-nation coalition, nor in the hands of Huang Chao. In the end, it was a little girl who secretly infiltrated Chen Cang and gave the country a fatal blow to Dayue.
There is no revenge more cruel than this.
"Why?"
Tears fell down again from Xiaoying's red and swollen eyes, and Lihua asked in a rainy voice: "Mother, don't you want me?"
Her mother has been taking care of her personally since she was a child. Lin Xiaoyi, who was born in Taiyuan Hospital, knows how to take care of people. In addition, she had an "unfortunate" childhood, so she cherishes her daughter even more.
In contrast, her father, Prince Yu - or Emperor Kang Jing, as he should be called - was not affectionate towards her.
Perhaps it was because the daughter did not get much attention in the royal family, or because the mother was just a concubine and was not taken seriously. The family relationship between the two was thin and weak.
Later, when King Yu ascended the throne, Lin Xiaoyi sent Xiaoying directly to the Gu family courtyard and never took her back.
The deep palace compound is not beautiful.
Living in it is like a canary's cage. It does look magnificent and majestic, but it can't vent its anger.
As for the decision to place his daughter in the small courtyard of the Gu family, Emperor Kang Jing was very much in favor of it, and he also fantasized about using this to win over Gu Dan, instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.
All the calculations involved are completely unnecessary for Xiaoying to think about.
Anyway, she was very happy living in the Gu family's courtyard. She could go out and play at any time. Her mother would visit her from time to time. As for her nominal biological father, he would never see her again. Anyway, she wouldn't see her a few times throughout the year.
But she never thought that one day her mother would leave her in this way. Even before leaving, she was so happy that she didn't get to meet her mother.
"That's not the case. She entrusted her care to us."
Gu Dan could not untie Xiaoying's knot, just as he could only watch Lin Xiaoyi bewildered there.
The increase in strength did not bring about the future, nor was it possible to bring the dead back to life.
Xiaoying stopped talking and just kept wiping her tears.
A huge emptiness came over me, leaving no room.
It turns out that Uncle Gu, who is already so powerful, can't save his mother.
My mother will really never see her, train her, or take care of her again.
She became an orphan.
The world is so vast that there are no close relatives.
"Sister, don't cry."
Cang shook Gu Dan's arm anxiously and called out: "Master, help sister!"
Gu Dan looked down at Cang. This little guy probably didn't understand what "death" meant yet.
When he suddenly realizes that the person who keeps giving him delicious food and fun is no longer there, he will probably cry even more miserably.
There are many things in the world that can be solved, except death.
That is the final destination of all living things, the end of everything.
When the traces of a person left in the world slowly disappear, the name that is often mentioned is gradually forgotten, and when the last person who misses him also returns, it represents the ultimate emptiness.
It's like it never happened.
That's why death is feared by people, so immortality is the highest dream even in the immortal world.
In the face of death, there is only the bloody reality.
"Take a break."
Gu Dan said this, looking at the girl in front of him who was very similar to Lin Xiaoyi when he was a girl, and then said: "In order to prevent similar things from happening again, I still have things to do. Have a good rest, Eat well, sleep well, and see a better world for your mother."
After all, I didn’t say any words of comfort. Apart from my own healing, how can others comfort me?
All he could do was to take a warning and try his best to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
"Xun Ke."
Gu Dan looked at the anxious guy beside him, but also couldn't say anything to comfort him.
"You come with me to Daqi. Your mission from now on is to try to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."
"good!"
Xun Ke nodded firmly, then suddenly raised his head again.
Something cold fell on my face.
It's a snowflake.
The first snow of this winter has begun.
Unfortunately, this country is still suffering from trauma, and countless people who can be named and who cannot be named have fallen forever.
Fortunately, the war is coming to an end and supplies will continue to be delivered. This winter will be warmer than previous cold winters.
May all the poor people in the world rest in peace.
