That Little Girl Is Gone

“Yundong, Yundong, what’s wrong?” Gu Dajiang saw that she was silent and didn’t know what to think. He shook her worriedly.
Gu Yundong suddenly came back to her senses. When she looked at Gu Dajiang again, her emotions surged and she could not calm down for a long time.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and smiled brightly. “Father, it’s so good to have you around.”
Gu Dajiang grinned and patted her head. “I should be the one saying that. Yundong, I’m very glad that you survived that calamity. You’re still here. I’m… so happy that I don’t know what to say.”
What Gu Dajiang was most afraid of was that she wouldn’t be able to survive the death tribulation at the age of 14.
Now that everything was in the past, Yundong would be safe and sound in the future and live a long life.
Gu Yundong let him touch his head. Tears welled up in her eyes. It was great. Really, these were her parents and her family. She did not occupy anyone else’s body. All of this was hers to begin with.
It turned out that she was not alone.
Not far away, Xue Rong and Tong Shuitao could not help but look at each other when they saw that the two of them were a little sad. They stayed far away and did not ruin it.
After eating the porridge, the group set off again.
Perhaps because they had finally talked about it, Gu Yundong was not as restrained as before. Their relationship seemed to have taken a step closer.
However, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Xuanhe Prefecture, Gu Yundong could no longer hide the things that she had kept to herself.
Gu Dajiang acutely noticed that she had been hesitating for the past few days.
Actually, Gu Dajiang had a feeling that Yundong had something to say. She had always told him happy things, but how could everything go according to plan in life?
He sighed slightly. “If you have something to say, say it. I’m not someone who can’t take things.”
Gu Yundong looked at him and finally said, “When we were chased away by the Old Gu family, Younger Uncle was sent away by them. When Younger Uncle returned and did not see us, he also left the Old Gu family. Until now, his whereabouts are still unknown.”
The carriage slowly moved forward. Xue Rong was driving the carriage outside, and Tong Shuitao was sitting on the shaft.
Only Gu Yundong’s soft voice could be heard in the carriage. “There’s also Eldest Aunt’s family. Eldest Aunt and Uncle have been separated from Mulan and Yuanzhi. Cousin Mulan… is dead.”
Gu Dajiang’s body trembled slightly. His eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.
After a long time, he calmed down slightly, but his voice was slightly hoarse. “Then, what about Yuanzhi?”
“Yuanzhi was brought back to the Yongning Prefecture by Ding Jincheng and sent to the Gu family. The last time I went to the Yongning Prefecture to look for you, I saw that he wasn’t doing well, so I made a plan to bring him out. He’s at our house now, going to school with Yunshu. It’s just that I don’t know where Eldest Aunt and the others are.”
Gu Dajiang clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head. He didn’t speak for a long time.
“I’m fine.” Gu Dajiang waved his hand. “I’m already mentally prepared. It’s fine.”
How many people had died on the way to escape? He was very clear about it.
However, Bian Mulan’s death still made him feel heavy-hearted. He seemed to still remember the little girl who hugged his thigh and called him uncle.
In the blink of an eye, she had grown up and gotten married. When she saw him, she still obediently called him uncle. She even said that when she gave birth, she would ask him to give the child a nice name and teach the child how to read in the future.
However, the child was nowhere to be seen, and even she was gone.
