He is still bleeding. He is half-delirious from blood loss and fever, as he stumbles around the place where Wei Ying died, searching desperately for any trace, any remnant, something to bury, to pay respects to, to rescue from the vultures that murdered his love--
He does not find any trace of Wei Ying's body. He does find a hollow tree with a baby girl inside, a toddler he remembers from that one happy day in Yiling.
There is a part of him, still, that wants to die here where Wei Ying died, but he cannot. He lifts the child, whose fever is much worse than his own, from the tree, and returns to Gusu.
