54, unexpected surprise

Du Yang was chased and killed by the angry Lei Hong because he and his newlywed wife, and fled into the mountains and forests around the river valley, and he was not heard from. After Lei Hong did not catch the young woman of the shopkeeper who had hurt her a lot, he returned to the river valley from the mountain forest angrily, because Lei Hong knew that the current war in the river valley was urgent, and he could not affect the entire battle situation for his own resentment, so General Lei hurriedly returned to the river valley with the idea that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Du Yang knew that he was not Lei Hong's opponent, so he didn't dare to go to the rescue, and after finding that Lei Hong had returned to the river valley, Du Yang immediately rushed to the mountains and forests where the young woman of the store had fled, to find his beloved wife.

This shopkeeper is indeed a very elf woman, when she was in Cuizhu Country, in order to be a good spy of Niu Lingguo, the shopkeeper opened an inn and wandered among all kinds of men, which developed his instinct to be chaotic and not panicked, so when Lei Hong chased her and was in crisis, she could improvise, abandon the horse, and hide in the bushes in the jungle, so that the angry General Lei Hong could not find it. The young woman of the shopkeeper hid in the bushes, and did not dare to come out, and saw Lei Hong looking for her everywhere like crazy in this mountain forest, but finally returned in vain. Worried that Lei Hong would turn around to look for her again because of her unwillingness, the young woman of the shop hid in the bushes and remained still, staring at the movement outside, and after a long time, she did not see Lei Hong turn around. Because the mosquito bites in the bushes made her unbearable, the young woman of the shopkeeper slowly came out of the bushes, and when she was about to enter the mountain road, she suddenly heard the sound of horses galloping, the young woman of the innkeeper guessed that Lei Hong was still looking for him and turned around, the young woman of the shopkeeper hurriedly hid in a weed-sheltered ravine on the side of the mountain road, when the horses approached, the young woman of the shopkeeper observed that it was Du Yang who came to look for herself, he immediately came out of the ravine, Du Yang found his wife hidden in the ravine, and stopped the horse, walked over and hugged the young woman of the store tightly.

Du Yang took his wife to ride his war horse, and returned to the river valley, when they walked to the river valley, they found that the situation in the river valley had changed, the army of the scholar king and the army of Prime Minister Miao Wen had entered the open area of the river valley, if they wanted to return to their military camp at this time, they had to pass through the sphere of influence of the garrison of Prime Minister Miao Wen, which was equivalent to throwing themselves into the net, for the sake of safety, Du Yang and the young woman of the shopkeeper did not dare to stay too much in the river valley, so they turned their horses' heads and re-entered this mountain forest. There was a ravine in the mountain forest that led to the depths of the mountain range, and the two of them rode their horses and walked slowly along the ravine to the depths of the mountain forest, hoping to find a temporary place to rest, and then return to the barracks when the situation in the river valley changed and the situation permitted.

This is in the middle of summer in the mountains and ravines, the climate is very cool, in fact, this is a good place for leisure, the two of them through a few ravines, around a few jungles, came to a ravine, found that the surrounding peaks are towering into the clouds, in this ravine there is a flat place, there are several families to live, Du Yang decided to take his wife to the farmer's house to find some food to satisfy hunger, now it is almost noon, especially the young woman of the shop after a period of escape, too much physical exertion, now is hungry. In this ravine, there are four or five families living here, although it is said that it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, covering the sky and the sun, but the scenery is indeed very beautiful, the flowing water on the mountain flows down in a gurgling stream, forming a very beautiful waterfall, a small stream that passes through the ravine, the water flow is crystal clear, the golden fish swim happily in the stream, the two sides of the stream are full of huge locust trees, the locust trees are blooming brightly, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. A shepherd boy led an old ox to slowly nibble on the grass in the lawn by the stream, and Du Yang and the young woman of the shop felt that this was really a fairyland on earth.

They led the horses into the ravine, and when they entered the farmer's house, they saw that in the thatched courtyard, an old man with a dragon bell came out of the small courtyard, opened the firewood door, and welcomed them in. The old man looked to be over 90 years old, and because of the torture of time, this old man was hunched over, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were sunken cheekbones, and he seemed to be dying soon. The old man opened the chai door and led Du Yang and his wife into the small courtyard and let them sit down, Du Yang told the old man that the two of them had lost their way because they had entered the mountains, and they had not eaten all day, so they came to ask for a hot meal to satisfy their hunger. The old man told him and his wife to wait a while, saying that his daughter-in-law had gone out to work and that she needed to wait for her to come back from work, and then cook porridge for them to satisfy their hunger. Du Yang and the young wife of the shopkeeper sat in the courtyard chatting with the old man while waiting for the return of the old man's daughter-in-law.

The old man told them that there were only her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in his family, that her husband had died decades ago, and that her son had gone up the mountain alone to hunt one morning a few years ago. Now he and his daughter-in-law depend on each other at home. The young lady of the shop asked the old man, "Have your sons and daughters-in-law not given birth to children?" Hearing the inquiry of the young woman of the shopkeeper, tears flowed from the corners of the old man's eyes, and she went on to say that her son and daughter-in-law had given birth to a well-behaved daughter after marriage, and when she was less than a year old, she was taken away from them by a soldier of an army who had entered the ravine, and now she does not know what her granddaughter's fate will be after being snatched away by the soldier. The old man sobbed for a while and then said, his well-behaved granddaughter, after the birth of the white fat, the family was very happy, the old man in the granddaughter after the birth of his heirloom, a jade pendant hung on the granddaughter's neck, the old man said, the jade pendant is passed down from generation to generation, the jade pendant is printed with the flowing water and green mountains and a shepherd boy in the flowing water and green mountains while grazing while riding on the back of the ox singing the scene.

The old man seemed to be opened into a conversation, and when Du Yang and his wife sat in this thatched courtyard and chatted with him, the more they chatted, the more interested they became. The old man said that his ancestor was an official of the Cuizhu Kingdom, and his husband was originally the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom, and in the kingdom in order to defend the Whirlpool River Valley, he made a contribution to the Han Dynasty, and later because the old king of the defeated Niu Ling Kingdom felt that he was not the opponent of the old Dutong, so he created rumors that the Dutong colluded with him to rebel, and the old king of the Cuizhu Kingdom was confused, and listened to the slander, so he killed the Dutong, and later a traitor suggested to the old king of the Cuizhu Country who had no opinion, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and to the Dutong full of manipulation, After getting the news that Dutong's whole family was going to be killed, Dr. Miao, an important minister of the imperial court, took advantage of the middle of the night to quietly send Dutong's family members to hide in this deep ravine, so now the family lives here, and later the son who went out to hunt in the mountains for a living is also gone, and at present, only the daughter-in-law is working hard every day for her, an old man who is about to die.

Listening to the old man's narration, Du Yang found that the expression of his new wife, the young woman of the shop, was constantly changing, and then the woman actually sobbed sadly, Du Yang felt that she might be touched by the tragic experience of the old man. At this time, the old man's daughter-in-law came back from work, this middle-aged woman looked extraordinary at a glance, although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but she was very clean and decent, the middle-aged woman opened the firewood door and entered the courtyard, and found that there were guests at home, and immediately became enthusiastic. Du Yang saluted at the middle-aged woman and said that he was disturbed, when he looked up at the woman carefully, Du Yang suddenly became a little surprised, he found that the woman in front of him actually looked very similar to his wife's facial features, and he felt that it was really rare to have such a clever thing in the world.

When Du Yang came to his senses in confusion, he found that the middle-aged woman who had just entered the courtyard was looking at his wife blankly without any words, and suddenly, the woman's expression changed drastically, and she stepped forward, hugged Du Yang's wife, and cried bitterly. kept saying that you are my Juan'er, my hard-working Juan'er, and my mother misses you day and night. The middle-aged woman went on to say that after my Juan'er was born, there was a black mole the size of a bowl bean at the base of her left ear, which I remember clearly. At this time, Du Yang realized that his wife did have a black mole the size of a bean at the root of her left ear. Seeing the sudden change in the mood of the middle-aged woman, the young woman of the shop also hurriedly knelt down on her knees, and cried bitterly and said, I am your Juan'er, and while saying this, she took out the jade pendant that she had been keeping from her arms, which was the ancestral treasure that the old man said about him just now. When the old man heard that the woman in front of him was his granddaughter who had been missing for many years, he shouted to the sky, God, you have finally opened your eyes, so that I can see the granddaughter I miss day and night in my lifetime.

It turned out that after the capital of Cuizhu Kingdom was persecuted, his long-time friend Miao Wen's father, Dr. Miao, quietly sent them into a deep ravine to save the descendants of the family of Dutong. Later, an army of Niu Ling Kingdom entered this deep ravine in the war with Cuizhu State in the river valley, because the old king of Niu Ling Kingdom at that time ordered to collect female babies to be bred by the palace, and later used as a palace use, so he was in charge of this task in the kingdom deputy general, because of the tight war in the river valley to support, and then because of defeat and retreat into this ravine, so he took advantage of the situation to snatch the granddaughter of the newborn Dutong and brought it back to the palace. This baby girl was used by the imperial court when she grew up, and she was ill-fated, she was played and abandoned by the scholar king when she was young, and then she betrayed her color to Cuizhu Country as a spy, and finally became a family member with Du Yang, who was deeply affectionate.

It is really a coincidence that Du Yang and his wife fled here in danger, but they never thought that their wives would find her biological mother and elderly grandmother in this place. Du Yang felt that his wife had suffered all her life because she was used by the kingdom, and as a man who stood up to the sky, from now on, he had to do a good job as a husband no matter what.
