    Rao Tu leaned on the bed and suddenly covered her heart, feeling a dull pain somewhere in her heart. She pushed open the window and looked at the sky outside, it was dark, as if there were tens of thousands of catties of rainwater in the sky, and soon she couldn't hold back and wanted to pour it on her head.

    She hugged the quilt, the wind blew, and boundless loneliness came on her face.

    The sound of footsteps sounded, and he pushed open the courtyard door and walked outside. Inside the black cloak was a long jade robe, which was indescribably freehand.

    Rao Tu blurted out, "Yan Bing."

    He saw the woman in the wooden window. It was a desolate and desolate picture. The dilapidated wooden window framed her peerless face. When the rain was about to come, she shrank in a corner, helpless and innocent.

    Shen Zhu quickly walked a few steps into the house, closed the window, and scolded, "It's cold outside, can't you notice it?"

    Rao Tu hesitated for a moment, "Is it going to rain?"

    He held her shoulders and laid her flat on the bed, tucked away the quilt, "The rain is coming."

    Rao Tu held his hand. He had just returned from riding a horse, and his fingers were slightly cold. "Yan Bing, it's going to rain, don't go out anymore."

    A feast of ice, told to him ten years ago.

    He said "um", "I'm not going out." Then he moved a wooden table to the side of the bed, lit the oil lamp on the table, and sat on the edge of the bed to read layman Ming Qi's book.

    The light cast his shadow on her, she reached out and scratched it in the air, and said softly, "That's good."

    In this way, he is by her side, is her heaven, is her mountain, bears everything for her.

    Shen Zhu turned back and rubbed her cheeks, and said warmly, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

    "Okay." She grabbed his sleeve and closed her eyes. After a while, he heard the sound of turning the book, which he deliberately suppressed.

    Zeng Jin, the best years of her life, flowed away in the sound of his flipping books.

    Shen Zhu finished opening the book of layman Ming Qi, spread out a piece of white silk, pinched a fine tube, and wrote a 10,000-character long text on the white silk.

    When stopped writing, it was raining outside the window. Shen Zhu listened to the sound of the rain, thinking about his life, he didn't know what to worry about until he was ten years old. At the age of ten, his father resigned and returned to Qingzhou, and at the age of twelve his parents died. At nineteen she married her, at twenty she went to study abroad, at twenty-four she was a high school student, at twenty-seven officials worshipped Huang Menlang, and at twenty-nine she met her again.

    He looked at Rao Tu with a gentle expression. That night, in Fireworks Liuxiang, she looked back at him and smiled at him in front of the burning peony flower window, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were obviously different, but he knew that it was his Ah Heng who came back.

    "Yan Bing..." She clenched the corner of his clothes, frowning slightly, as if she was in a nightmare.

    Shen Zhu held her hand, "Aheng, I'm here."

    Rao Tu opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw him, and suddenly hugged his neck tightly, "Yan Bing, don't go."

    The door was knocked, and Liu Xing whispered outside: "Girl, it's time to drink the medicine."

    Shen Zhu patted Rao Tu's hand, she let go of the posture of wrapping her arms around his neck, and said to the door, "Bring it in."

    Liu Xing brought a bowl of clear medicinal soup, Shen Zhu tasted half a spoonful, it was slightly sweet. Liu Xing explained: "Mr. Lu specially prepared the warming tonic soup, which is harmless to the body and can stabilize the foundation."

    Rao Tu took the medicine bowl, took a few sips, and Shen Zhu said aside, "You don't know how to drink slowly? Who's robbing you?"

    Rao Tu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Don't you know how to speak softly? It's always been like this, cold and unsympathetic, and serious."

    Shen Zhu was speechless, reflecting on whether he had always been like this.

    Rao Tu said to Liu Xing: "If you have someone you like in the future, be sure to show it to me. If it's the kind of wood that can't even say a good word, no matter how handsome you are, you can't marry. You see me as an example. The lard was blinded, so he was determined not to marry him."

    Liu Xing endured a smile and walked away, the little girl had a feeling that she felt that the girl was not the same as before, and she deliberately contradicted Lord Shen before. Now it is naturally showing a naive attitude, like a shy lady complaining about her husband, obviously full of joy, but she is always picky.

    Shen Zhu waited for Liu Xing to close the door outside, and said to Ratu, "Isn't it the one who arranged me, are you happy?"

    "I'm very happy." Rao Tu looked at the white silk on the case and saw that the small letters were densely packed, so she couldn't help asking: "What is it written?"

    Shen Zhu put away the white silk and said to her: "Take it close to your body, if there is any danger in the future, it can save your life."

    Rao Tu unfolded it and looked at it, but it was the 10,000-character policy of governing the country, so she didn't quite understand it.

    "I don't want this."

    "obedient."

    "Can't you save my life?"

    "I... I can too, but this thing, you take good care of it first." He folded the white silk and put it in a bag, and hung the long string of the bag around her neck.

    Rao Tu held the kit and looked into his eyes, "What are you hiding from me?"

    "Aheng, you are pregnant with a child, and it is very fortunate to give birth to him."

    Rao Tu covered her lower abdomen, "I'm not afraid. He came to me again, and this time, I can't lose him again." She looked at Shen Zhu cautiously, "So, don't hit him. "

    Shen Zhu smiled slightly, "I'm just a little jealous."

    Rao Tu glanced at him, "You're not ashamed or ashamed, why are you jealous with an unborn child?"

    Shen Zhu embraced her and listened to the sound of the rain outside. He said, "If it's a daughter, it's called Heng Xiu, and if it's a son, it's called Heng Wen. Okay?"

    He picked up her hand and wrote four words stroke by stroke on the palm of his hand.

    Heng, homophonic with Heng.

    Rao Tu shook her head and said, "It's ugly, my child is named, what are you doing for fun?"

    The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. It hit the sash. It could be seen that the place where the window wood was embedded in the wall was already wet. Shen Zhu pulled the quilt to her neck, "Is it cold?"

    Rao Tu shook his head, "How about you?"

    "I'm not cold either."

    "Yan Bing, when are you going back to the capital?"

    "Do you want to go back?"

    "No, I'm looking forward to never going back. This is great, I just want to have a yard, a small house without much decoration, just old wooden framed windows. The yard is full of flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits, and there are An old well can float melons and plums in summer, and warm by a fireplace in winter.”

    Shen Zhu looked dazed and murmured, "It's wonderful to have a family chatting around the fireplace at night."

    Rao Tu looked up at him and saw a strange light flashing in his eyes. She leaned gently in his arms, closing her eyes and smelling the breath that belonged to him. If time could stop at this moment, that would be fine.

    It rained for three days. It always rains during the day, freezes at night, and the soil in the courtyard freezes stiffly. The next day when people walk over it, it turns into icy slush.

    Many years later, she often recalled the three rainy days in Jinghui's first year, when she and Yan Bing embraced in a dilapidated hut. Time is short and long.

    At nightfall that day, Rao Tu was inexplicably flustered, hugging Shen Zhu to the left and right without sleep. Shen Zhu pressed his forehead against hers and called her "Aheng" in a daze.

    "I can't sleep," she said.

    He opened his eyes and held her tightly in his arms, without saying a word.

    "Shen Zhu, what are you trying to do?" She pushed him, trying to figure it out.

    "Aheng, sleep well."

    In the darkness, his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March.

    Rao Tu felt a little at ease and slowly closed her eyes. Soon she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't expect that when she woke up again, the world changed color. She did not expect that for many days and nights in the future, only the words "sleep well" in his voice echoed in her ears.

    In a long, long dream, she dreamed that he was standing on the bow of the boat in white clothes, waving him gently. She ran along the shore, trying to catch up with the boat, but soon the boat down the river was far away. Far away, his face is hazy, his body is hazy, and finally even the boat is hazy, disappearing into the water and the sky...

    The wagon wheels squeaked against the snow. Rao Tu's head was dizzy, and suddenly she heard the sound of the wheel, and another voice said in her ear: "Girl, wake up, wake up..."

    Opening her eyes, the mountain ghost's face swayed in front of her. She sat up while leaning on the wall of the car, wondering, "Where is this?"

    Shan Gui said: "Girl, we are already in the Yin Valley of Dongwu."

    Soochow... Yin Valley? Rao Tu reacted for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Where is it? Where is Shen Zhu?"

    The mountain ghost lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

    Rao Tu was suddenly startled, "What did you say about Soochow? Why is it in Soochow? Isn't it in the territory of Daliang?"

    "Girl, we have already left the beam." Shan Gui explained, her voice was not loud, but there was an echo, empty and distant.

    Rao Tu lifted the curtain of the car, and a dazzling light shot in, stabbing her almost unable to open her eyes, she managed to regain her strength, but she saw the surrounding rocks and snow, and she didn't know where she was.

    "This...what is this place? Why am I here, why am I not in Gushezhou?"

    "This is Yin Valley." Lu Zhiming lifted the curtain, "The carriage has been traveling for several days, and it has already left Gushezhou."

    Rao Tu looked out of the curtain and saw a carriage in front of her. She felt relieved, "Is Shen Zhu in that carriage? Why did we come here, shouldn't we go to Jinling?"

    "This place is so hidden that no one can find it, so I have to come. As for Shen Zhu, he has already returned to the capital." Lu Zhiming said lightly.

    Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, in disbelief, got out of the car and ran to another carriage, the driver was Li Yu. He opened the curtain and saw Yuxiu, Zhenlong, and Madam Xie, who was half asleep with her eyes closed.

    Zhen Long tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Madam can rest assured to raise the baby here, and no one will disturb you."

    Rao Tu turned her head to look back at the valley, but saw several brand-new tile houses in the northwest. Although small, it appears to be very sturdy.

    "Shen Zhu went to the capital alone?" Rao Tu looked at Lu Zhiming, "Why didn't you tell me?"

    "Master Shen left something for you." Lu Zhiming took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Raotu.

    Rao Tu tore open the envelope, took out the bamboo propaganda, and wrote on it: "Shen Zhu, the person who set up the book, once was shameless to his concubine because he had betrayed his beloved, so he would rather make this letter of divorce, and let him remarry, and there will never be any disputes. Without any evidence, I voluntarily make this article as a photo."

    She read it word for word for a long time.

    Shan Gui and Liu Xing lifted a wooden box from the carriage, opened the lid, and found a box of gold and a small sandalwood box.

    Rao Tu picked up the sandalwood box and opened it, only to see two crescent earrings, a rune dagger, and a long jade hairpin inside.

    The long hosta is what he has always used to tie his hair.

    The mountain ghost whispered: "Sir Shen sold the mansion in Jinling City. This is three thousand taels of gold. He said... said..."

    Rao Tu put away the divorce letter, "What?"

    "He said that the debt has been repaid, one is different and the other is wide, and each is safe."

    Rao Tu nodded and smiled desolately: "Yes, the debt has been repaid." Looking at the place where she was, she walked slowly, her shoes stepping into the snow, and the snow sank into her knees.

    The mountain ghost was afraid of her falling, so he stepped forward to help her, but she pushed him away. Lu Zhiming frowned slightly, stepped forward and said slowly, "Ratu, things in the world were originally unbearable, this may be the best ending."

    "Yes, I can't force it, I won't force it. Isn't that what I'm asking for?" She sniffed and supported Lu Zhiming, "Is the child in my womb okay?"

    "it is good."

    "It's been bumpy for a few days, and I should continue to take the anti-abortion medicine."

    "Yes. I checked your pulse yesterday, and the poison on your body has been exhausted. Next, take care of yourself. No one will disturb you in this valley. Stay for a while and give birth to a child. Some are busy."

    Rao Tu smiled and said, "Yes, I still have to take care of the children and serve my grandma, so I'm very busy."

    Lu Zhiming helped her into the house, a main room, two bedrooms on the left and right, the back door, and a few washrooms. There are six bedrooms in total. The beds in the house are neat and the tables and chairs are brand new.

    Rao Tu sat down in a house, holding the small sandalwood box in her hand, her fingers were frozen stiff. Shan Gui and Liu Xing went to the stove and made a fire in the kitchen. The house was covered with earth dragons, and it quickly warmed up. She looked calm, put the box and the divorce book on the bed, and said to Lu Zhiming, "Please wait a moment, sir, let me Go and settle the old lady first."

    Lu Zhiming nodded, saw her go out the door, looked around in each room, and finally sent Mrs. Xie into the largest room, and ordered the girl to go to the kitchen to see if there was any rice, noodles, oil, and salt. something to eat.

    After ordering everything, he returned to the room and smiled at Lu Zhiming: "Grandma is very satisfied. Although this place is far away from Gushezhou, it is also far away from disputes. Li Yu brought some seeds, and when spring begins, they can be opened in the courtyard. A vegetable garden."

    Lu Zhiming said warmly, "If you have pain in your heart, you don't have to endure it."

    "I'm fine, how can there be suffering?" Rao Tu sat down on the edge of the bed, pointing to a chair and asking Lu Zhiming to sit down, "He's in the capital alone, it's dangerous."

    Lu Zhiming was noncommittal.

    Rao Tu took the white jade hairpin out of the box, "Please return this to him, sir, it has nothing to do with it, it's his, I don't want it."

    "If there is fate in the future, it's better to give it to him in person. I won't go to Jinling for the time being."

    "Don't you go to Jinling City, sir?" Rao Tu was slightly startled.

    Lu Zhiming shook his head.

    "You want to stay?"

    "As entrusted by him, I will leave when you give birth to a child."

    Rao Tu couldn't help but ask: "He's there alone, what does he want to do, he... will he die?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

    "He has his way to go."

    "Will he die?"

    "You don't want him to die?"

    "I... I don't want to meet him in this life, but... I don't want him to die. Is he going to die in the capital? He is alone, no one will collect his body... The capital is so big, and the people inside are so bad, He has nothing to rely on, what should I do?"

    "He will marry Princess Xunyang."

    "Princess Xunyang...Princess Xunyang..." Rao Tu wiped her tears, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Princess Xunyang likes him so much, she won't let him die."

    Lu Zhiming sighed inwardly, after Prince Yu ascended the throne, the wrath of the emperor, what could Princess Xunyang stop?

    "Is that so, Mr. Lu? He will live well, marry the princess, serve the new emperor, and become the head of Zhongshujing. He will be happy and proud in the future." Rao Tu's voice trembled slightly, and she only begged Lu Zhiming to say "yes" Character.

    Lu Zhiming finally nodded, "So, don't worry about him."

    Rao Tu was in a state of turmoil when she suddenly saw Zhenlong standing outside the door, she hurriedly stood up and pulled her, "Jinlong, Master Shen will be fine in Jinling City, right?"

    Zhen Long was silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe he will come back to see Madam next year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom."

    Rao Tu looked out the door, there were several peach trees. Snow on the branches.

    Lu Zhiming stepped forward and said: "The winter of Dongwu is over, and spring will come soon. At that time, the mountains will be green, and the peaches and plums will bloom and receive fruits. When the fruits are ripe in summer, it will be very pleasant to take a town in the ice spring water. It's delicious. Then autumn will come soon, and in early winter, you give birth to a child. The next year, the peach blossoms bloom again. You see, life flies very quickly."

    Rao Tu held the door frame, her heart was bitter and unspeakable. Whether it was Lu Zhiming or Zhenlong, no one was willing to tell her the truth, but she knew that Shen Zhu's life in Jinling was a near-death experience.

    Recalling all kinds of things in Gu Shezhou, only feel heartbroken. He is always like that, who hides his deep scheming under gentleness and indifference. Even if Mount Tai is on top, he will remain calm.

    Rao Tu took a deep breath, the only thing she can do now is to take good care of her body. If he dies unfortunately, at least, he can stay behind for him.

    Lu Zhiming said warmly: "When I came, Lord Shen told me that there was one less well in this valley. When we settle down, I and Li Yu will dig a well in the yard."

    Rao Tu smiled at Lu Zhiming and said, "He still remembers this, but I just said it casually, sir, don't take it seriously."

    Lu Zhiming smiled and said, "It was more convenient to have a well. I remember that when I was a child, I dug a well in the Taoist temple with my master."

    Shan Gui and Liu Xing came over and said with a smile that they had found a cellar in the backyard. There was plum wine buried in it, as well as some bacon, dried herbs and dried mushrooms. They cut a piece of smoked venison, cooked millet porridge, pasted white flour cakes, and let them eat.

    Rao Tu was carried by the two girls to Madam Xie's room. The old Madam was a little tired before, but now she recovered and smiled at Rao: "Heng'er, don't think too much about Uncle, their men always have to do big things. Yes. There are so many people here, you have a little one in your stomach, and an old man like me is still sitting here, but isn't it enough for you to be busy?"

    Rao Tu smiled and said, "It's just that my grandma is wronged to be far away from her homeland, and to be displaced with Heng'er."

    "When you live, I will be blessed. When I die of old age, you can send my coffin to Gushezhou and bury it with your grandfather. That's it."

    Rao Tu said: "My grandma is blessed. I'm afraid that the child in my arms will grow up and marry a daughter-in-law, and grandma is still alive!"

    Madam Xie said with a smile, "Then I'll be immortal!"

    Everyone who said that laughed. The mountain ghost Liu Xing and Yuxiu brought the prepared meals to the house. Rao Tu only said that there was no need to distinguish between masters and servants, and asked everyone to eat together.

    She smelled the fragrance of millet porridge and said angrily, "Sir Shen is still envious of us in the capital. Eating around the fire and talking about it is no better than his intrigue and intrigue in Jinling City!"

    Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "You child, my uncle is showing his ambitions in the temple, why don't you think about people?"

    Rao Tu showed a smile, "I'm just talking about it, how can I... how can I not read him." At the end, she was a little choked up, so she stopped talking.

    After finished meal, it was already dark. This is a deep valley, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, and the narrow road into the valley has been blocked by Lu Zhiming. In the evening, Liu Xing was cleaning up the bedding in the house, and Rao Tu sat aside and fiddled with the box of gold.

    Liu Xing said: "Your Excellency sold the mansion, I don't know where to live."

    Rao Tu said indifferently: "Naturally there is a concubine's mansion for him to live in." She threw the golden screw in her hand and made a ding dong, and said in a bad mood: "What is the use of three thousand taels of gold, trapping people here, Can't spend it again!"

    The mountain ghost came in with a smile, "Miss, I think this place is very good, and it doesn't have much use for spending. There is a lot of rice, wine and meat in the cellar. When Xiu Niang opens up preserved vegetables and grows melons and vegetables, we will also have fresh vegetables to eat. There is wine to drink and meat to eat, isn't it a beautiful day?"

    Rao Tu glanced at her, "That's you." She suddenly moved in her heart, "How long can you eat rice?"

    "If you leave some seeds for planting, you can eat them for a long time year after year!"

    Rao Tu said: "Who wants to stay here year after year, if you say you don't grow rice, how long can you eat those?"

    "About...a year." Mountain Ghost said uncertainly.

    Rao Tu pondered: "One year... He prepared for a year... Mountain Ghost, did you see anything when you went to the Shen family's old house?"

    The mountain ghost looked out the window, walked to Rao Tu and said in a low voice, "I saw the girl, Lu Zhiming, and even me..."

    Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "What did you say?"

    "Master Shen didn't go back to Jinling alone. Our group followed him."

    Rao Tu said "Huh?" "Aren't we here? Why are we following him again?"

    The mountain ghost sighed, "Girl, why are you out of your mind? I mean, someone pretended to be us and followed Lord Shen."

    Rao Tu said in shock, "Does he know?"

    "Of course I do! He arranged it. So, girl, you can stay here with peace of mind. Master Shen knows that a smart person like him will not die so easily."

    Rao Tu heard the mountain ghost say this, and felt a little relieved, but immediately shook her head and said, "I'm just afraid that he... begging to die by himself."

    "Girl, when you come, feel at ease. You are afraid of coming and going, worrying, but it's useless."

    Rao Tu sighed, "You're right." She picked up the sandalwood box and stroked the rune and hosta inside.

    The rune, Zeng Jin pierced his chest. The hosta, which he has been wearing all the time, is now taking off the hairpin, is it a plea for sin?

    She was suddenly very angry, grabbed the divorce book and clenched it into a ball, and said angrily: "What's the matter of 'let you remarry, never have disputes'? Shen Zhu, when you die, I will remarry, not only remarriage, but also the children are not with you. surname……"
