C45 Out of the Illusion(1)

Xu Dong closed his eyes. He knew his sister would cry after he said that. Xu Dong didn't want to see his sister cry.

However, after waiting for a long time, Xu Dong did not hear any crying. He opened his eyes and saw that his sister was continuously wiping his tears.

"She's still crying, but she didn't cry out loud."

As Xu Dong thought about this, he sighed with emotion at his sister's strength. Just as he was about to comfort his sister, something unexpected happened.

He saw his sister wipe the tears away from her eyes and slightly twitch a few times.

"Dong, I know. I knew that you would leave after playing with me for a day today. Although Huan'er doesn't want you to leave, there should be someone important to you.

Therefore, Dong, you should leave. Huan'er doesn't want you to give up on those people who are very important to you because of me. I believe that would be very unfair to you.

If that's the case, Dong, you would be very sad too. Huan'er, Huan'er doesn't want you to be sad!"

Listening to his sister's choked voice, Xu Dong felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. In the end, he didn't say anything.

He gently hugged his sister and patted her back. This was the only thing Xu Dong could do now.

An hour later, the little girl had also been tired from crying for too long. Now that she had fallen asleep, she fell asleep with tears in the corner of her eyes.

Xu Dong covered the little girl with a blanket and left. He went to his grandfather's door. Xu Dong was about to knock on the door when the old man's kind voice sounded.

"Come in!"

Xu Dong was stunned. He put down the hand that was about to knock and walked in.

"Why did you ..."

Just as Xu Dong was about to ask his godfather why he knew he was here, the old man interrupted him.

"Alright, how could I not know that my own granddaughter is crying so loudly? Speaking of which, you really are an incompetent brother to make your sister so sad."

Hearing his grateful grandfather's words, Xu Dong clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice.

"I also know that I'm an incompetent brother, but I still have other important things to do. I can't stay here. Didn't you ask me a few days ago just to let me know myself?"

"That's right! I don't want my goddaughter to live in a dream forever! But, when did you find out?"

"Just a few days ago, when you asked me to go out and pick herbs."

"Oh?"

This time, the old man was surprised.

"How did you find out?"

"A few days ago, I went out to pick herbs. The surroundings were all white, but there was no snow. I thought it was fog.

Later on, when I picked the herbs, I suddenly found out that the requirements for the soil were very high.

And when I dug out the snow on the ground, the ground was still white even when the depth of the hole was far deeper than the depth of the roots of the medicine.

At that time, I realized something was wrong. Some of the things that happened after that made me feel that something was wrong. "

Hearing Xu Dong's words, the surprise on the old man's face became even more intense. He stared at Xu Dong with a fixed smile.

"How could that be? Since you noticed something wrong these two days, you should have realized it a long time ago. This place has never changed in the past two years."

Hearing the old man's question, Xu Dong revealed a bitter smile.

"Yeah, this place hasn't changed in the past two years, and the villagers are all very friendly. But this is too fake. I didn't think so before and thought that it was only natural.

However, before today, when I was picking herbs, I found that something was amiss. After that, I felt that it was very strange."

"Strange?"

The old man looked at Xu Dong and asked his question.

"Why is it strange? Was it not good? Everyone treated others with kindness. Shouldn't this village be very beautiful? Shouldn't everyone be looking forward to this?"

When Xu Dong heard his own grandfather's words, the gloominess on his face became even more intense, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"That's right. It's beautiful. This is also what I was looking forward to. However, humans are not like that.

Humans are selfish. Although there are also people who treat others kindly, they treat others kindly when their interests are guaranteed! They don't treat others so selflessly and without any bottom line.

I really want to live in such a village, but this is too fake. It's like an illusion. No, this is supposed to be an illusion!"
