Chapter 124: Winter is Coming Winter comes

and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores.

Snowflakes are falling from the sky, crystal clear and white. Everything is brand new, dressed in red and white. It is the end of another year.

Time slips away quietly through our fingers, the stars flow, and the plants experience new withering and flourishing.

The world is one year older.

Gu family courtyard.

The small stove on the stone table was warming the wine. The sound of "gurgling" could be heard continuously, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air.

The doctor in a green robe sat upright on a stone pier. Snowflakes fell on his body, bringing a slight chill, but the weather at that time was actually not that cold.

Gu Dan no longer held the book, but just stared at the small flame that kept licking the wine jug. His eyes were deep and calm, with a gleam of memories in them.

Occasionally, a cold wind would blow, and his green robe and hair would be blown together, making some subtle sounds, making the place seem even quieter.

The wine is already warm.

The person who can drink is not here for the time being.

There were quite a few people in the yard, and it was by no means quiet.

On the contrary, the excitement is a bit too much.

Cang somehow got entangled with Qin Lisheng, and now he grabbed a handful of snow and insisted on stuffing it into Qin Lisheng's mouth.

Qin Lisheng, who was able to make things difficult for Xun Ke, now seemed a little overwhelmed and unable to cope with it.

The good news is that Xun Ke is not having a good time either.

At this moment he was sitting under the willow tree in a daze.

Ever since reading the letter sent by Mo Qiu, Xun Ke has often been in a daze.

The idea of ​​loving all and not aggressing is 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 now, so far away that even dozens of generations of hard work may not bring any hope.

As an ultimate goal, there is nothing wrong with it.

But it is too harsh to be used as a criterion for Mohists.

We can't expect every Mohist to be a born saint. That's too unreliable.

When the distance between ideal and reality is too far, people can't feel a trace of warmth.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone to discuss this issue with.

Qin Lisheng is Moqiu's ultimate supporter, and it doesn't make sense to him at all.

Mr. Gu is a very nice person, but he has never paid much attention to these things and rarely talks about his own opinions. If I must describe him, he is probably what outsiders call a "sage" who is in this world but his heart is elsewhere.

So he could only think about it himself.

If universal love and non-aggression are not possible, how can we have a goal that can both save the world and the people and be ambitious enough? This question probably needs to be thought about for a long time . These doubts were buried in the heart, making the young man constantly thinking.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a snowball the size of a washbasin fell on his head.

Xun Ke buried his entire head in the snow, his eyes wide open in blankness.

It's starting to snow so heavily?

“Hahahahahaha!”

He didn't have to wonder for too long, as a voice as sweet as a silver bell yet arrogant enough began to echo in the courtyard.

Xun Ke's face immediately turned dark.

"Xiaoying!"

Xun Ke wiped off the snow on his head and body helplessly and shouted angrily.

"Idiot! Why are you becoming more and more stupid? It's snowing, come and play!" Xiaoying still had a ball of snow in her hand, and while Xun Ke was talking, she quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Xun Ke: “.”

This life is unbearable! "I will fight you!"

Xun Ke suddenly jumped up in anger, grabbed the snowflakes falling on his body and tried to throw them at her.

The two of them began to circle around the small courtyard, with Xiaoying's provocative voice occasionally heard.

"Can you do it, idiot? You spend all day either practicing martial arts or being in a daze, you're almost going stupid!" While dodging the snowballs thrown by Xun Ke, Xiaoying did not forget to take the opportunity to provoke Xun Ke's anger.

While they were chasing and playing, the gate of the courtyard opened.

Andy Hui walked in carrying a lunch box and was almost bumped by Xiaoying who was running over.

"Grandpa Xu!"

Xiaoying's eyes lit up, she rushed over and hugged Xu Zhian's other hand, saying aggrievedly: "Xun Ke bullied me!"

Xun Ke holding a snowball: "."

"You two, go play over there."

Xu Zhian patted her head. He was not fooled by appearances. He came to Gu Dan with a food box and scolded, "Why, you think I'm dead and you won't even go to the Imperial Hospital, right?"

"Uncle Xu."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gu Dan explained helplessly: "It was you who didn't let me go."

Ever since he beat up the imperial guards, things have finally become a little different from before.

For example, the last time he went to the Imperial Hospital, he was surrounded by the doctors there. There was also a bold person who did not want to reveal his name. He suggested that since Gu Dan was already here, he should study the body of the martial arts master for them. After all, they were both human beings, but the martial arts master's body could last for a hundred years. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital had been curious for a long time.

But in the past, he couldn't even meet a dead martial arts master. Now that he finally met a living one and an acquaintance, he had to be bolder! Fortunately, Xu Zhian showed up in time to save him. At that time, the group of doctors were already considering whether the red and arsenic were useful for martial arts masters, which required real experiments. "If I don't let you go, you won't go?"

Andy Hui raised his eyebrows and his already graying beard trembled up and down like an angry old lion.

Gu Dan: “.”

At this moment, he suddenly understood Xun Ke a little.

Fortunately, the gate was opened again, and a beautiful figure walked in, also holding a food box in her hand, which attracted his attention and saved him.

"Uncle Xu, you are here too?"

Lin Xiaoyi greeted him with a smile, then turned her gaze to Xiaoying who was running around the yard, and her voice became deeper, "Does the little girl need to be punished again?"

"mother!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyi, Xiaoying immediately turned into a good girl again. She quickly ran to her, stretched out her little hands to pat the snowflakes that fell on her body, with a cute smile on her face, "You are finally here. I was just saying that I missed you! It's so cold, you should wear more clothes!"

Do you know what a caring little cotton-padded jacket is?

"You've been staying here all day, and your temper has become wild. How about going back to the palace and staying for a few days?" Lin Xiaoyi pinched Xiaoying's increasingly plump little face and asked.

"I don't want to go to the palace!" Xiaoying shook her head repeatedly.

It's so boring in the palace. There are people watching you everywhere. It can make you sick.

"Then be honest and stop bullying Xun Ke!"

Lin Xiaoyi reached out and tapped his forehead, admonishing him.

"I don't!"

Xiaoying said affirmatively.

"Go play somewhere else."

After sending Xiaoying away, Lin Xiaoyi also came to the table and put the food box on the table.

"Uncle Xu seems to be getting better and better. Brother Gu, don't you have a girl you like? Do you want me to introduce you to some beautiful girls from the royal family?"

Lin Xiaoyi spoke naturally and teasingly.

"Him? I'm afraid I won't be able to see him get married in this lifetime!"

Xu Zhian had already given up on the idea of ​​arranging a marriage for Gu Dan. He had figured out that this guy had no intention of getting married! When the three of them got together, they never talked about major national events, but only about trivial matters such as family matters or the marriage of a doctor's child in the Imperial Hospital.

The dark clouds hanging over Dayue's head seemed to disappear temporarily along with the snowflakes.

The thirty-seventh year of Zongming, the last year recorded with the reign title Zongming, passed quietly in this calm and peaceful state.

There was peace in the courtyard.
