Chapter 209 Human power is limited
When Gu Dan found Xun Ke, Xun Ke was indeed comforting a little girl.
Xiaoying.
There was also a man named Cang who stayed beside Xiaoying and tried hard to make faces to make her laugh.
No wonder I feel particularly peaceful sometimes, it turns out it’s because my naughty kids are not around.
"Don't be sad."
Xun Ke's face turned red and he finally said a word after a long while.
Xiaoying didn't say anything, just squatted there blankly, her hands wrapped around her knees, her eyes almost unfocused.
In an instant, Gu Dan’s memory seemed to have returned to the Imperial Hospital in the twelfth year of Zong Ming.
There was once a woman who was so confused.
"Xiaoying."
Gu Dan walked forward and squatted in front of her.
"Gu, Uncle Gu?"
Xiaoying's blank and confused face suddenly "woke up". She grabbed Gu Dan's hands as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment and she said anxiously, "Uncle Gu, please save my mother, please save my mother!"
“.”
Gu Dan didn't say anything, just patted the girl's hand gently without saying a word.
"Uncle Gu, your medical skills are very good. You can even save a broken Sun Chrysanthemum. You can definitely save my mother, right?!"
Xiaoying's tears burst like a dam breaking. She could no longer control her tense emotions and cried like a cuckoo crying blood.
They both lost both parents, and it all happened suddenly.
Misfortune seemed destined to come.
Gu Dan, who had already become a grandmaster, could only remain silent.
After a long while, when the girl's howling turned into sobbing, Gu Dan finally said, "I have killed the White Lotus Sect Leader."
"I just want my mother."
Xiaoying wiped away her tears with her sleeves, her eyes were red and swollen.
Revenge and redress are things that should only be considered as a last resort, and she still has expectations in her heart.
Since Uncle Gu is so powerful, he must be able to save my mother, right? "It's all over."
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.
This can be seen from the letter she wrote to Qin Lisheng.
She was the one who brought the White Lotus Sect Leader here, so she has the time and the opportunity to leave.
But she didn't.
Including before, before Gu Dan left, if Lin Xiaoyi begged for help in revenge, he wouldn't mind taking action in advance to end Dayue - but Lin Xiaoyi didn't do that either.
She wanted revenge, she wanted revenge for herself.
From beginning to end, Lin Xiaoyi really never asked him for anything.
The girl who had suffered a disaster in the Imperial Hospital in the past, returned the disaster to the Dayue royal family in her own way as the queen.
Dayue did not perish at the hands of the Four-Nation Alliance, nor did it perish at the hands of the Huang Dynasty. In the end, it was a young woman who secretly dealt a fatal blow to Dayue, which was in ruins.
There is no revenge more cruel than this.
"Why?"
Tears once again fell from Xiaoying's red and swollen eyes, and she asked with tears in her eyes, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"
Her mother has been taking care of her personally since she was a child. Lin Xiaoyi, who came from the Imperial Hospital, knows how to take care of people. In addition, she had an "unfortunate" childhood herself, so she cherishes her daughter even more.
In contrast, her father, Prince Yu - or should we should call him Emperor Kang Jing, was not kind to her.
Perhaps it was because the daughter did not receive any attention in the royal family, or because her mother was only a concubine at the time and was not taken seriously, the affection between the two was thin and weak.
Later, Prince Yu ascended the throne, but Lin Xiaoyi sent Xiaoying directly to the Gu family's courtyard and never took her back.
The deep palace is not beautiful.
Living in it is like living in a canary cage. It does look magnificent and majestic, but it's just hard to breathe.
Emperor Kang Jing was very much in favor of the decision to place his daughter in the Gu family courtyard. He even fantasized about using it to win over Gu Dan, after all.
Xiaoying didn't have to think about all the calculations involved.
Anyway, she was very happy living in the Gu family's courtyard. She could go out and play at any time, and her mother would visit her often. As for her nominal biological father, she could just not see him because she only saw him a few times a year anyway.
But she had never thought that one day her mother would leave her in this way. Even before she left, she was so excited that she didn't even get to see her mother.
"That's not how it works. She entrusted you to us."
Gu Dan was unable to untie Xiaoying's knot, just as he could only watch Lin Xiaoyi at a loss at the beginning.
The growth of power does not bring about foresight, nor does it bring back the dead.
Xiaoying stopped talking and just kept wiping her tears.
A huge emptiness came over me, leaving no room for anything.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It turns out that even Uncle Gu, who is so powerful, can’t save my mother.
Mother will never see her, scold her, or take care of her again.
She became an orphan.
The universe is so vast that there is no one closest to us.
"Don't cry, sister."
Cang anxiously shook Gu Dan's arm and called out, "Master, help my 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 has always given him delicious food and fun is no longer here, he will probably cry even more miserably.
There are many things in the world that can be understood, except death.
That is the final destination of all living things and the end of everything.
When the traces a person leaves in the world slowly disappear, the name that is often mentioned is gradually forgotten, and when the last person who misses him/her passes away, it represents the ultimate emptiness.
Like it had never been here.
That is why people fear death, and that is why immortality is the highest dream even among the immortals.
In the face of death, there is only bloody reality.
"Take a break."
Gu Dan said this, looking at the girl in front of him who looked 70% similar to Lin Xiaoyi when she was a teenager, and 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."
There was no word of comfort. How could others comfort him except for his own recovery? All he could do was to learn from it and try his best to prevent it from happening again.
"Xun Ke."
Gu Dan looked at the guy standing aside who was anxious but also unable to say anything to comfort him.
"Come with me to Daqi. Your mission from now on is to try to prevent such things from happening again."
"good!"
Xun Ke nodded firmly, and suddenly, he raised his head again.
Something cold fell on my face.
It's snowflakes.
The first snow of this winter has begun.
Unfortunately, this country is still suffering from trauma, and countless people, both named and unnamed, have fallen forever.
Fortunately, the war is about to end and supplies will continue to be delivered. This winter will be warmer than previous winters.
May the miserable people of the world rest in peace.
