Strange Cards

Chapter 462 Before Departure, She Sewed the Clothes Carefully, Fearing His Delayed Return

Gu Nian looked at Old Master Gu standing in front of him and nodded deeply.

After Gu Nian put the silver dollar into the pocket of his collar, Old Master Gu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, leaning on his cane, he walked further and further away.

Just as Gu Nian reached out his hand, Old Master Gu's voice came from afar.

"You don't need to call me."

"I'm getting old, and my eyes get easily filled with sand."

"If you think I'll cry when you leave, you brat, then I'll lose all face for the rest of my life."

"Talk to your mom and the others properly. I'm going back now."

Gu Nian looked at his father, whose body was already hunched over, and wanted to linger in his eyes for a little longer.

Once upon a time, Grandpa Gu's figure was so upright and indomitable.

In the blink of an eye, the once towering man has vanished, leaving only this hunched old man.

Gu Nian knew that this time, she would never see her father again.

But at least, Gu Nian now knows what's in his heart.

He would never regret what he had done, because of that silver dollar his father had given him...

It is more precious than any medal.

After Gu Nian returned, he packed everything in the cart into a sack and then carried it on his shoulder with one hand.

Gu Nian looked at Qi Wu standing to the side, walked over to Qi Wu, and put her mouth to Qi Wu's ear.

"If I die before you."

Tell my sister I'm not a coward.

"I have not disgraced the Gu family name."

Qi Wu nodded, and Old Madam Gu draped the folded clothes over Gu Nian's shoulders with a smile.

"Son, give it a try."

"Mom just made these new clothes, do they fit?"

Gu Nian put on the clothes and, looking at the clothes that fit her perfectly, smiled and hugged the old lady.

"Thank you, Mom."

"I really like this outfit."

Gu Nian knew perfectly well that the clothes were rushed out by Old Madam Gu recently.

Gu Yue is a fashion designer largely because she inherited her mother's skills. Gu Nian is well aware of his mother's craftsmanship.

Feeling the dense stitches on the clothes, Gu Nian held the old lady's hands and said with heartache.

"Mom, you're too old to make clothes anymore."

"I have clothes to wear, and I will take good care of myself."

Grandma Gu just smiled and patted Gu Nian's hand.

"Okay, I understand."

"Remember to come back early and spend some time with your dad and me after you're done with what you've done."

"Your father and I don't ask for anything, we just want our children to stay by our side."

"Even if you become a freeloader, your father and I can still support you."

Come back soon.

A mother worries when her son travels far away. Although Old Mrs. Gu did not know what her son was going to do, she still had a bad feeling.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

Grandma Gu knew she was getting old, and if Gu Nian came again and there was no news for another ten years, she wasn't sure if she could live to see him return.

Everyone must die eventually, but the greatest desire of a person is to be reunited with their family.

Who can say that parents' hearts are the same all over the world?

At that moment, Gu Yue put a hat on Gu Nian's head and said with a smile.

"You can wear hats now."

"I'd say he's a half-baked tough guy, if I may."

Gu Nian looked at her sister and pulled her hat down to avoid letting Gu Yue see her tearful eyes.

Gu Nian composed himself once again, hoisted the sack onto his shoulder, and waved to the crowd.

"Everyone!"

"Even after a thousand miles of travel, we must part ways! This is enough!"

Goodbye!

Gu Nian waved as he spoke, and Qi Nannan, who was standing next to Qi Wu, watched Gu Nian walk away and put her hands to her mouth like a megaphone, shouting.

"uncle!"

"I must become a great hero!"

Gu Nian paused for a moment, listening to the childish voice behind him, before continuing to walk into the distance.

Even after Gu Nian had gone far away, her laughing voice still carried back from afar.

"good!"

"Uncle must become a great hero!"

"To become a great hero in Nan Nan's eyes!"

Hearing Gu Nian's response, Qi Nannan smiled and waved goodbye to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian walked further and further away until he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just like when Gu Nian came back.

……

After returning to the Otherworld, Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu, who was in much better condition, and patted Shi Yu on the shoulder with a smile.

"Jie, we should make a trip."

"Where to?"

"To cause trouble for natural disasters."

"The tornadoes should have already appeared in the western Gobi Desert."

"Let's go kill it."

Shi Yu looked at Gu Nian and pointed to herself.

"The two of us?"

Just the two of us.

Gu Nian took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu caught the cigarette, took one out, and then tossed it back into Gu Nian's hand.

"If the two of us make a move, the other side will have at least two Cataclysmic-level enemies, and that troublemaker might even join the fray."

Are you scared?

Gu Nian lit his cigarette with a lighter and then lit one for Shi Yu as well.

After lighting the fire, Shigure took a puff and exhaled a smoke ring.

"I'm not afraid."

"Back then, even with only half my power, I could still overpower that guy with a Royal Flush of Spades. Now, I've regained all my power."

"I had that courage before, so why don't I dare to now?"

"He's a guy, you could say."

As Gu Nian spoke, he pulled out the Tears of Repentance, while Shi Yu pulled out the Door Opener from behind her.

The two immortal swords, one red and one white, clashed and echoed each other, while Shigure opened the black hole and looked at the Gobi Desert behind him, where the wind and sand swirled.

"Let's go."

"Let's finish this quickly and come back before Chun finds out."

As Shi Yu spoke, he took a deep drag, smoking off most of the cigarette in one go, before throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stomping it out.

Gu Nian also threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped it out, and said.

"That's true."

"That girl likes to join in the fun. Four battlefields of the Cataclysmic level, even the aftershocks would be enough to injure her, who is only half a Cataclysmic level."

The two walked through the black hole one after the other. Just as Shiyu was about to close the black hole, a voice came from afar.

"Wait a minute, little gray hair! Boss!"

"Count me in!"

Shi Yu watched as a plume of black smoke rushed toward them, then raised her hand and closed the black hole.

Even when the black smoke unleashed its strongest power, it still couldn't rush through before the black hole closed.

The black smoke crashed into the wall, and then it condensed into a human-shaped figure, which turned into the appearance of a young girl.

After the two left, Chun squatted on the ground, holding a twig and drawing circles on it.

When the two arrived at the Gobi Desert, they looked at the sandstorm that stretched between heaven and earth and the tsunami that suddenly appeared on the Gobi Desert. After exchanging a glance, they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
