In the martial arts world depicted by Jin Yong, there are not only swords and swords, but also children's love, and even in some stories, the latter is the core clue that drives the development of the plot, at least this is the case with "The Condor Heroes".
Li Mochou often hangs on the lips of the sentence "ask what is the love in the world" is the theme of this work, the men and women in the book are trapped by love, and they may not be able to understand the word "love" in their lives, and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu used their experience to give a complete answer to that question, that is, "Straight people promise life and death".
On the surface, the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" forms a perfect closed loop, and the ending echoes the theme, but is this really the case?

In fact, after reading the plot of the original book, it is not difficult to find that this so-called happy ending is just an answer sheet deliberately handed over by Jin Yong, and it seems that it is just to give this story with the theme of "love" a decent ending, after all, from the original point of view, Xiaolongnu has basically been a "dead person" since the moment she jumped off the cliff.
However, Jin Yong's arrangement also has his reasons, because the person Yang Guo loves the most in his heart may never be a little dragon girl.
1. The suspicion of the little dragon girl
Why did Xiaolongnu jump off the cliff in the first place, on the surface, she was highly poisonous and incurable, so she didn't want to drag Yang Guo down.
Huang Rong also analyzed it this way, so in Huang Rong's opinion, most of the little dragon girl is no longer alive, and the "sixteen-year covenant" she left behind is also like an excuse to deliberately deceive Yang Guo to live, so Huang Rong made up the "South China Sea Shenni" theory, so that Yang Guo stupidly waited for the little dragon girl for sixteen years.
But from the perspective of a normal person, what should Xiaolongnu think of most after learning that she is dying?

Naturally, she is with her beloved, and one day is a day, not to mention that Yang Guo is also in a highly toxic state at this time, and she may not be able to live a few days longer than her, so she should cherish the time she spent with Yang Guo even more.
Obviously, Xiaolongnu's non-resignation behavior is unreasonable, there is only one explanation, in her opinion, Yang Guo doesn't love her so much, as for who made her have this "illusion", it is also very simple, the answer to this question can be seen from the conversation between her and Yang Guo.
For example, this paragraph: "The little dragon girl smiled sadly and said in a low voice: 'I don't have a long time to live, you accompany me, keep watching me die, don't go to accompany your Guo ...... Miss Guo Fu. ’”
Another example is this paragraph: "The little dragon girl smiled sweetly and said in a low voice: 'At this time, I died by your side, and my heart ...... The heart is very lively. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Guo Daxia's girl hurt your arm, and she won't treat you well." So who will take care of you in the future? ’”

So why does Xiaolongnu regard Guo Fu as a rival in love?
Naturally, because as a person in the book, she has seen more details about Yang Guo and Guo Fu's relationship than readers, and women's intuition is usually more accurate.
Yang Guo's feelings for Guo Fu are indeed extraordinary.
In any case, the later little dragon girl was relieved.
Second, the love that has long been released
You may not believe it when you say "Xiaolongnu has been relieved", but judging from the scene of Long Yang and the two reuniting at the bottom of the valley of despair, it is true.
What was Yang Guo's attitude when he jumped off the Valley of Despair after sixteen years and found traces of the little dragon girl's life on the other side of the cold pool?
The book only says: "There is a rough wooden cupboard on the left side of the room, and when I opened the door, I saw a few children's clothes made of bark in the cupboard, which were exactly the appearance that the little dragon girl had sewn for herself in the ancient tomb in the past." He entered the room and stroked the bed, and he was already in tears, and at this time he couldn't bear it anymore, and rolled down his shirt with tears in his eyes. ”
Just by seeing the "furniture" in the thatched hut, Yang Guo couldn't cry anymore, and at this time, Xiaolongnu appeared, but her attitude was not at all like what a woman who had been separated from her husband for many years should be.
The book only says: "Suddenly I felt a soft hand gently caressing his hair, and asked softly: 'Guo'er, what's not happy?' The tone of his voice, the way she stroked his hair, was the same as when the little dragon girl comforted him. Yang Guohuo turned around and saw a brown-shirted woman standing in front of Yingying, with still snow skin and flowers like yesterday, it was the little dragon girl he had been thinking about day and night for sixteen years. ”
Jokes, really jokes.
She asked this as if they were drinking together last night, and woke up the next day to see Yang Guo crying inexplicably.
Eldest sister, you and your husband have been separated for 16 years, and you haven't had any mood swings? Why is Yang Guo "not happy", don't you know? FeelingsThis is a science fiction novel, and the speed of time at the bottom is different from the outside world, right?

Obviously, this is just a manifestation of Xiaolongnu's relief from this relationship.
Combined with the aforementioned Yang Guo's feelings for Guo Fu, this can also be explained, Xiaolongnu took the initiative to withdraw from this relationship, she wanted to fulfill Guo Fu and Yang Guo.
However, if she knew who Yang Guo was thinking about when she was dying, she was afraid that she would jump off the cliff again.
3. Yang Guo's perception of the near death
At that time, Yang Guo was highly poisoned and felt that his life was short, so he had such an understanding in his heart.
Said yes: "Yang Guo's chest was faintly painful, knowing that his internal strength was not as good as the other party, such a brutal fight could not last, he didn't hear the baby crying for a long time, he was afraid of losing it, and he looked down at the baby in a hurry, only to see that she had a small face with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she was staring at herself with two black eyes. Yang Guo has always been at odds with Guo Fu, but he suddenly felt strange in his heart for the young girl in his arms: 'I am fighting for her at the moment, if God is lucky enough to save her life, I will die in seven days, and she will grow up to the age of her sister in the future, I wonder if she will remember me?' My heart was so sour that I almost burst into tears. ”

On the surface, he was looking at the baby Guo Xiang in swaddling clothes, but what he was thinking about in his heart was the child's sister Guo Fu, otherwise how would he have thought that this child would remember him when he grew up to her sister's age?
To put it bluntly, he still can't let go of Guo Fu.
This is also reasonable, after all, when he saw any woman, all he saw was the shadow of Xiaolongnu, but when he saw Guo Fu, Guo Fu in his eyes was Guo Fu, without the shadow of others, he would even turn his head shyly.
Later, Guo Fu was trapped in the sea of fire, Yeluqi and Xiaowu sat idly by, only Yang Guo made a move, you said that this was not driven by love, how could he go?
At this moment, when he was dying, he was still thinking about Guo Fu in his heart, which was enough to explain everything, if Xiaolongnu knew Yang Guo's true thoughts in his heart, he was afraid that she would jump off the cliff again.
