Chapter 40: Gathering Less and Leaving More

After spring, comes summer; After the heat, it's the autumn wind. Everything is constantly changing. We can't keep it for long.

After a brief reunion, there was an unbearable separation.

No one can live a stable life alone until the world is at peace.

Again, I watched you and your father leave the house.

The meeting is so difficult, the meeting is so short, but the house is so small, the world is so big, and there are countless things calling you to leave. Our guard is like a thin kite, drifting in the strong wind high in the sky.

Compared with your mission, my attachment is as small as a cobweb in the corner. I can only look at your back, bid you farewell again and again, and watch you enter that bloody and bloody, swordless world.

I can neither follow you like Wu Shun, nor help you like my father. Once again, I was painfully aware of my weakness. Born as a girl, I am powerless to help my dead father, nor to help you fathers and sons who want to help my father. I can't even protect myself from worrying you. What can I do for this chaotic, turbulent, terrifying world? Or, for the rest of your life, you can't do anything?

Before I met you, my heart was confined to this mansion, to my muscles, bones, and internal organs.

It was your presence that brought my heart out of this small confines.

My heart followed you, saw my father, Liu Shen's father, and your father's dream of peace that they had fought for all their lives, saw the endless war and all the suffering caused by it, and saw that all these sufferings were closely related to ourselves.

Because I fell in love with you, I was able to gradually jump out of my own barriers.

You accompanied your father to the carriage.

You glanced back at me on the steps of the carriage.

You gave me a smile from afar. Then you get into the car and disappear behind the curtain.

I was inside the gate, watching your carriage go away, and my heart was mixed.

I sincerely wish you all the best for your journey. Bless you, for the new peaceful and prosperous era, open the first curtain.
