Shangshi Village is located in a remote place, surrounded by mountains.

"Is Mr. Xie awake?"

"Mr. Xie always wakes up early, and it's already high in the sun, so it's impossible that he hasn't woken up yet?"

"Is there anything wrong? Shall we go in and have a look?"

When Xie Zhan was cleaning his face, he heard chattering voices from outside.He put on his outer robe and went out, and sure enough, he saw three or four young women standing at the door, each of them was holding a basket in their hand, and they pursed their lips and smiled softly when they looked at Xie Zhan.Xie Zhan had already experienced this look as early as the first day he came to this mountain village, so he was used to it long ago.The location here is remote, the folk customs are simple and honest, and the straightforward temperament of the women is no less than that of the women in Jiankang City.The girls in Jiankang City always throw fruits and vegetables when they see handsome men, but here, they just give them baskets of fruits and vegetables.

Xie Zhan approached and saw that there were things in each of their baskets, some with eggs, some with fruits and vegetables, and some with wild flowers that they picked from the mountains.They were very excited to see Xie Zhan, but they couldn't help but blush when they saw him approaching, and then they shuffled each other and walked in front of Xie Zhan, put all the baskets in front of him, and looked at him furtively.

The young man in white clothes has black hair like ink, skin like snow, and exquisite facial features. Mr. Pianpian is like a person walking out of a painting. All the men in their village are not as good-looking as him.On the first day Xie Zhan came, he was surrounded by people from the whole village. Some people even asked him if he was a fairy who came down from the sky.

Xie Zhan has lived here since he came here. The folk customs here are simple and honest, and the villagers are also very friendly to him. They will give him a taste of any delicious food. Compared with the intrigue between the court and China, the life here is much simpler and easier.

Xie Zhan thanked her, and gave them the wine he brewed in return. They didn't leave after taking the things, but still looked at her with a smile on their faces.A beautiful and bold little girl was pushed in front of Xie Zhan.

"Mr. Xie, what kind of girl do you like?" the woman asked.

Men should marry when they grow up, and girls should marry when they grow up. Mr. Xie is like a banished fairy, so he should marry a daughter-in-law.These little girls have been greedy for him for a long time.

Xie Zhan was stunned for a moment, his eyes drooped, and his mind became dazed.He has been here for just one year, but it seems like a lifetime has passed, those past events are like the events of the previous life.

Has he ever liked someone?

A face flashed in Xie Zhan's mind, and the last impression was that it was bloody.Xie Zhan took a deep breath to suppress the boredom in his heart, and still had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Although those girls were from a small mountain village and didn't know how to read poetry, they were all very intelligent. Seeing his silence and gloomy eyes, they all guessed something.Maybe it's not that Mr. Xie doesn't want to marry a wife, but that he has someone in his heart.They were just a little lost in their hearts, and they were not entangled, so they left together with smiles.

After those young girls left, Xie Zhan was the only one left in the yard, and it suddenly became quiet.He fed the chickens and ducks in the yard first, then watered the flowers and plants, and sat in the yard with a book to read.

The sun was just right, and there was a shade under the tree. Xie Zhan put a bamboo chair there, and lying there, the coolness was refreshing, and the breeze was blowing, so uncomfortable.

After a while, there were a few children standing outside the fence, the younger one was five or six years old, the older one was eleven or twelve years old, with dark faces, wearing short jackets and shorts, leaning on the fence, all looking at him eagerly. .Xie Zhan stood up, opened the door of the yard, waved to them, and they ran happily.Xie Zhan brought a few small bamboo chairs from the house, and another person gave them a manuscript book.Soon, the sound of childish reading came from this small courtyard.

At that time, family education was the main focus, and the gentry's parents taught their children, and these peasants, their parents were not literate, let alone taught their children.Their lives are completely opposite to those of the gentry born like Xie Zhan.Xie Zhan was shocked when he first entered here. These children didn't like to read and write, but they didn't have the opportunity. For the first time, he felt the huge gap between the gentry and the poor.

Xie Zhan often bought some books and made some manuscripts by himself. Gradually, he often found some children outside the yard looking at him curiously.They are interested in his book.Later, Xie Zhan taught them to read and write.This feeling is much more comfortable than being a gentleman in a noble family, and it can teach people's children.Looking at the serious faces of those children, he finally understood the joy of being a teacher.

At noon, Xie Zhan made a meal by himself, asked the children to finish eating, and continued to study in the afternoon, until the evening, the children reluctantly left.The yard was empty at once, Xie Zhan put away all the books and walked into the room.

There was already a person standing there in the room, standing straight and well-trained. This person was the personal guard of the person who escaped with him a year ago.He lived in seclusion here, but the guards disappeared from time to time, and would only come back once in a while to talk about the outside world and the news he had inquired about.

"The world outside has changed drastically. Song Yan is dead, and the little emperor is also powerful. He is only seven years old this year. The gentry wanted to decentralize power, but he and his mother clan forced him to suppress him. The emperor. But the Xie family..." The man glanced at Xie Zhan, "Thank the first prime minister, thank the second great Sima, they are truly unparalleled in glory and splendor."

Xie Zhan listened quietly.When he heard that Song Yan had died, he was a little surprised. Did an old fox like Song Yan die so easily?

The man continued: "A person like Song Yan really can't see that he is a lover. I heard that his wife passed away. When he was buried, he jumped into the coffin and buried her with him."

Xie Zhan was stunned suddenly, his face turned pale, and then became dry, as if blocked by something.After a while, he heard his own voice: "What is the name of his wife? How did she die?"

"He Qinglan...his wife is also ruthless. It is said that on the night of their marriage, she stuck a sword in her chest and went straight away."

Since a year ago, Xie Zhan's mood has seldom fluctuated. He thought that he would never experience any great sorrow or joy.However, at this moment, a strong sense of sadness surged in his heart.If it wasn't because of him, Wu Chen would still be an eminent monk in the temple, he wouldn't get mixed up with Song Yan, and he wouldn't die.

What kind of blow did a person like Wu Chen suffer to choose such a tragic death?Xie Zhan felt a heavy breath in his heart, and many things from the past flooded into his mind, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Xie Zhan seemed to be frozen, and it took a long time to recover. The man was still standing there and did not leave.

"Master Xie, do you think the master is still alive?" the man asked suddenly.

There was another thunder on the ground.Xie Zhan shook his head, it's impossible, they went back and looked at it later, the bones on the ground were bloody, they basically searched all the bones, but they couldn't find Huan Rin's bones.In fact, this is also normal, He Yong will not let Huan Rin go so easily, even if he dies, they will take him away.

Xie Zhan put his hands together, his emotions were covered in darkness.

Early the next morning, Xie Zhan left the village.Shangshi Village is about ten miles away from the nearest market, all of which are mountain roads, and it takes a day to go back and forth.The villagers only go out once a month to buy what they need.Xie Zhan followed the ox cart that traveled. He set off in the morning and arrived at the market outside at noon.

After making an appointment with the old man who was driving the car at the time and place to go back, we separated.When he arrives at the market, Xie Zhan usually buys two things, one is books, and the other is food and clothing.This time, he didn't buy either, but found a restaurant and sat down.

There are people from all over the world in the restaurant, and it is also the place with the best news.As soon as he sat there, it was all about Song Yan's affairs.No one thought that this would be the end of Da Sima, who had power over the government and the public, and his death would be too simple!

It is said that when the news of Song Yan's death reached the palace, the little emperor didn't believe it. He thought that Song Yan was up to some conspiracy. He didn't believe that he was completely dead until he saw the completely buried coffin.

It is said that the burial place was specially selected, and the cliffs on both sides were in a hugging posture. Even if the two people in the coffin died, their souls would be entangled for life after life.From this point of view, Song Yan has a deep obsession with his wife, and the theory of dying for love makes sense.

Xie Zhan could only let out a long sigh when he heard those discussions.When Wu Chen met Song Yan, it was indeed a catastrophe in his life.Wuchen chooses to die, maybe it is to end the mortal relationship of this life, but he never thought that Song Yan would never let him go from generation to generation.

Still no news about that person.

Xie Zhan left the restaurant and went to the market to buy some things. Seeing that it was still early, he walked around the town.Although this small town is small, it is the only way from north to south, so it is very prosperous.There were people in ragged clothes, and there were also young ladies in brocade clothes. Xie Zhan was walking with his head bowed, when suddenly a piece of clothes flashed in front of his eyes.Xie Zhan vaguely felt a little familiar. When he looked up, a familiar face flashed by. Xie Zhan stood there in a daze. When he came back to his senses, the person had disappeared.

There are many similar people in this world.

Xie Zhan was no longer in the mood, and went back to the appointed place early, and returned to Shangshi Village together after the driver finished his work.
