The evidence was conclusive, Dong Ping'an pleaded guilty in court and was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn.

The aunt of the Niu family, who learned the news, put down the work in her hand and went to Dong Sulan's house. Dong Sulan was half-leaning on the bed, holding a baby's belly pocket in her hand. On the tablet at the head of the bed was a bowl of soup, which was still warm and smelled of Chinese herbs.

Hearing the sound of the door curtain being lifted, Dong Sulan raised her head, and her eyes happened to collide with the Niu family's aunt.

"Su Lan, are you feeling better?"

"Hmm."

"You have to drink this medicine on time. I asked, the safflower is extremely hurtful, and you have eaten so much, if you don't take care of it well, you will have sins in the future. ”

"My body, what does it matter whether I raise it or not." Dong Sulan stuffed her belly pocket under the futon: "Auntie is coming over now, but you have something to tell me?" ”

"I'm just here to tell you that bastard was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and your family's revenge has been avenged."

Dong Sulan's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly covered her face with her hands.

"Don't cry, you can't cry at this time." The aunt of the Niu family comforted on the side: "Auntie knows that you are bitter in your heart, and she knows that you are wronged." It's gone, it's all gone. ”

"If it weren't for me, Ah Niu wouldn't have died. Blame me, blame me for this thing. ”

"Nonsense, I can't blame you for this." The aunt of the Niu family straightened up: "You are a good girl, and Ah Niu is also a good young man, I can only say that it is this god who does not open his eyes, and makes the bad guy target the two of you." Listen to your aunt, don't think too much, don't think nonsense, take care of it. You are still young, and the days to come will be long, if Ah Niu is still alive, he will definitely not want to see you like this. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't look for a short, at this time, I don't have the face to see Ah Niu at all." Dong Sulan said, shedding big tears.

The aunt of the Niu family sighed, "People, I'm afraid of being idle." When you are idle, it is easy to think crankily. My aunt knows that you have done a good job of needlework, and it just so happens that my aunt has taken some work to embroider handkerchiefs for others, and I will bring it over at night, and we will do it together. First, distract you and stop thinking about these bad things. Second, you can also earn some scattered silver money so that you can live the rest of your life. ”

Dong Sulan couldn't bear to let the Niu family's aunt be sad with her, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded lightly.

Dong Aniu's death has been figured out, and it has been figured out, and the person who killed Dong Aniu was also put in prison and waiting to be beheaded after the autumn. Dong Sulan's heart was completely gone, she looked at the bronze mirror, carefully decorated herself, changed into the clothes she wore when she married Dong Aniu, and came to the mountain, in front of Dong Aniu's clothed tomb. This time, she brought neither incense candles nor paper money. She half-knelt on the ground, gently stroked Dong Aniu's tombstone with her hand, and whispered softly in her mouth: "Aniu, you have always loved me the most, and you have always protected me." But why, you didn't say anything when you saw me being bullied, and you didn't come out to save me? I know it's me who is sorry for you, it's me who has lost your reputation, and you've become a joke in our town. I know you don't want to see me, but I'm really hard. Forgive me, can you forgive me? ”

Dong Sulan closed her eyes as she spoke, her heart was crossed, and she slammed into Dong Aniu's tombstone.

Wake up and find yourself lying in the arms of a man. She subconsciously struggled, pushing with her hands and kicking with her feet as hard as she could, but she heard a familiar voice in her panic and fright. After a closer look, that person turned out to be the husband Dong Aniu that she thought about day and night.

"Sulan, it's me, it's me Niu!"

Dong Sulan burst into tears, and after crying for a while, she looked at Dong Aniu and said with tears in her eyes: "You're here to pick me up, right?" You're worried that I'll not be able to find the gate of the Netherworld when I go on my own, right?"

Dong Aniu grabbed his hand: "Silly lady, but what kind of underworld, you are still alive, and I am still alive." ”

"What did you say?"

"I'm still alive, Solan." Dong Aniu affectionately called the name: "I'm still alive, you're still alive, we're all still alive." ”

Dong Sulan first touched Dong Aniu's face, then touched him, and after finding that he was warm, she cried again. After crying for a long time, the two of them hugged each other, sat in front of the tombstone, and told everything carefully.

It turned out that Dong Ping'an caused someone to pretend to be a robber and assassinate Dong Aniu when he met the real robber, and the scene became particularly chaotic for a while. The dart masters, although they are all from martial arts, are not martial arts masters, and they can't fight against ten, and they are soon killed by those real and fake robbers. Dong Aniu doesn't know martial arts, and he is timid, when the incident happened, he instinctively got under the dart car, but what he didn't expect was that a few of those robbers were specifically against him, he dodged left and right, but he was still injured, and his body, legs, and head were cut a few times. The wound was not deep, but it hurt terribly, and soon he knew nothing.

"Then how did you survive, and who saved you?"

"I don't know." Dong Aniu shook his head: "I only know that when I woke up, it seemed to be in a valley. The valley was not big, but there were flowers, water, fish, and wild fruits. Oh yes, and there's a thatched hut. Spacious thatched house with everything in it. ”

"Where's the master?"

"It's strange that I'm here, I don't see any hosts. During the day, I was alone in the valley. At night, I could hear the sounds of small animals, but I had never seen them. Every time, I thought about waiting for the valley master to appear, but every time I waited and fell asleep, and when I woke up, the medicine on my body had changed, and the wound was getting better day by day. Then I went out of the valley and back to the town. ”

"You're back, why don't you go home?"

"I don't dare." Dong Aniu said, hanging his head: "I was seriously injured, although the valley master saved my life, but my leg is lame, and my face is ruined, I am afraid that when I go home, you will not recognize me, you will be afraid of me, and you will dislike me." ”

"No, no matter what you become, you are my Ah Niu and my husband."

"But I don't think I'd better be dead." Dong Aniu slapped his right leg: "The day I came back, I heard that you and the shopkeeper Dong were going to get married. I thought, that's fine. Although the shopkeeper Dong has been married, he is kind and kind, and he has always treated Mrs. Dong in the house very well. Moreover, he is the manager of the dart game, if you follow him, you will not have to work hard for the rest of your life. But I never expected that the shopkeeper Dong, who usually looked kind, was a sheep in wolf's clothing. ”

"You know everything in court?"

Dong Aniu nodded.

"Then you know, will you resent me in your heart, will you hate me?"

Dong Aniu shook his head.

"It's my fault, I'm your husband, it's your husband, but I didn't protect you."

"What if...... If I don't come to die tonight, will you never show up? ”

"I showed up, and I've been guarding you near my home. But I never mustered up the courage to see you. At first, I was worried that my current appearance would scare you, and then I was worried that my presence would make you feel even more uncomfortable. But I can't watch you go to death. ”

"Ah Niu."

"Silly lady, silly lady, why are you so stupid, why don't you listen to the aunt of the Niu family take care of yourself and live a good life."

"Without you, I've gone through something like that again, how do you want me to live, how do you want me to live a good life. I opened my eyes and felt ashamed of you. I closed my eyes, and all I thought was sorry for you. ”

"Silly lady, you didn't feel sorry for me, I'm sorry for our villain Dong Ping'an. It was him, who coveted the beauty of the lady, and it was he who carefully planned everything. I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid, how can I blame you for these things. You have to be good, I have to be good, we all have to be good, we have to continue to live. ”

Dong Sulan sniffed and tried to show a smile: "Ah Niu, let me see if your face is okay?" ”

Dong Aniu wore a hat on his head, and the hat was covered with a layer of black veil. From the moment he appeared, the gauze on his hat was half uncovered and half hidden. There is no need to guess, and you know that the half he covered up was the place where he was injured.

"Let's watch it during the day, I'm afraid that at this time, it will scare you."

Dong Sulan shook her head and insisted that Dong Aniu take off the hat. Dong Aniu hesitated, but still did so.

His injuries were not as terrible as she imagined. There were two scars, one from his head to his nose, and the other from his forehead to his cheek. Now, both of these scars have become very faint, and even at night, they do not make people feel terrible. As for Dong Sulan, she didn't think there was anything terrible about this knife mark, she only felt distressed, and her heart hurt a lot.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's all right, it doesn't hurt anymore." Dong Aniu held Dong Sulan's hand: "When I came out, I had already thought about it. If you like to live in the town, then I will accompany you to live in the town, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter, let's go and ask the owner of the valley to let us live in the valley together. We don't want to disturb the life of the master of the valley, we live on the edge of the valley, and I will build you a thatched house with my own hands. ”

"Will the valley master agree?"

"It should be." Dong Aniu helped Dong Sulan to stand up: "You are weak and can't blow the cool breeze on this mountain, I will send you back first, whether to go to the valley or not, let's go home and discuss." ”

Dong Aniu helped Dong Sulan down the mountain, and on the tree next to the clothed mound, Xing Ruyi was lying there lazily, looking up at the fox standing on the treetops.

"Is that your valley?"

The fox nodded.

"Would you agree with them moving in?"
