*******, most people who are unfaithful are scholars.

Perhaps Tang Zhiyao never thought that when he was in trouble with our relatives, the only one who extended a helping hand to him was the life-saving benefactor he had conspired to assassinate.

After Chen An left with the little girl for a long time, the escaped guards arrived with reinforcements from nearby counties. As a result, except for the messy corpses on the scene, only the prison cart escorting Tang Zhiyao was left alone.

Some guards once asked Chen An's whereabouts fiercely, but Tang Zhiyao asked sarcastically, even if you know his whereabouts, do you dare to chase after him?

The soldiers who asked the question were speechless on the spot, and finally the soldiers who were embarrassed could only vent their anger on Tang Zhiyao.

In fact, after fighting with Chen An himself, these guard soldiers who fled in a panic dared not face Chen An anymore.

Because they are scared.

Facing an enemy with superb force and no matter how hard they can't kill, they are despair and fear from the bottom of their hearts.

With Tang Zhiyao escorted to Beijing, the court issued an edict to fully want Chen An as expected, but the communication methods in the feudal era were quite backward. When the edict was sent from various prefectures and counties, Chen An had already lived in seclusion with the little girl in Taoyuan Mountain Village pointed out by Tang Zhiyao.

This is a mountain village isolated from the world, just like the paradise recorded in Tao Yuanming's representative work "The Peach Blossom Land" of the Jin Dynasty. No one knows how Tang Zhiyao discovered this wonderful and beautiful hidden mountain village.

The mountain village has more than hundreds of people, and the people are simple and welcoming, so Chen An and the little girl can easily adapt to life here.

Because they did not rescue Tang Zhiyao together, the little girl and Chen An inevitably fell into a cold war, and Chen An didn't care about it. He knew that time would slowly smooth out the estrangement between the two.

During the days of seclusion, Chen An and the little girl lived in the free thatched huts that the villagers had found. During the day, he would go up the mountain to hunt in exchange for other grain crops from the villagers. The little girl threw it in the village to play with children of the same age around her. Although the little girl was in a bad mood at the beginning, she often locked herself in the house, over time, she could not bear the loneliness and slowly got into a relationship with other children. Even her relationship with Chen An was no longer as stiff as she was at the beginning. At least she would chat with each other during dinner.

I heard from the old man that this mountain village was in a state of chaos in the past. The ancestors brought their families here with their families to avoid the war. Since then, they rarely communicated with the outside world. However, three or two people mistakenly entered the village, but they never came back after they left.

The village has opened up a lot of fertile fields, and the surrounding mountains, forests, fruit trees and sufficient water resources, which is basically enough for the villagers to be self-sufficient. Even if they encounter desolate years, they can easily survive. Therefore, these villagers have spent their entire lives here for a hundred years, and few of them are willing to leave the village.

In history, Tao Yuanming's Taoyuan Village written by Tao Yuanming is difficult to describe, but even if this village exists, it will inevitably die. As long as the village continues to isolate the outside world's communication, it will have the same fate.

Nothing else, the village will collapse sooner or later after continuous intermarriage of close relatives.

After several months, it was already cold winter, but because the village was close to the southern subtropical zone, the weather was not too cold. During this period, Chen An quietly left the village several times, and even sneaked into Guping County to find out the situation outside.

Tang Zhiyao is dead.

He was charged with treason for treason.

He did not wash away his grievances after all.

The reason is that the northern enemy went south to capture Jiangzhou Hou Barbarian Chief Zeng Yan thanks to Tang Zhiyao's secret help, and once sent an envoy to ask Dali to release Tang Zhiyao, otherwise their iron hooves would flatten the capital.

The result can be imagined how the Dali Dynasty would deal with Tang Zhiyao.

Now Dalizheng dispatched troops everywhere to Jiangzhou to fight the Northern Territory in a night. For a time, Chen An wanted to be ignored. But everyone who knew Chen An was unlucky and his lawless courage and arrogance. Some days ago, officials proposed to invite Chen An, an unparalleled warrior, to deal with the Northern Territory's generals to atone for their sins, but unfortunately there were very few responders.

Chen An hesitated for a long time after learning about Tang Zhiyao's death because he didn't know whether he should tell the little girl about this.

The most important thing is that Chen An has had a premonition recently.

He may be leaving this world.

The problem is that he doesn't know how to place the future of the little girl.

She no longer has any family members. Now she has her own reliance on the world. If she leaves, what will happen to her future life? Would he leave her irresponsibly in the mountain village and be raised by the villagers?

If possible, he would take the little girl out of the world.

But if he can do it, he won't be worried about it.

One night, he started drinking alone for the first time.

The wine has a very low degree and tastes sweet, far less mellow than the mellow and spicy food of modern wine. After a jar of wine, Chen An was just a little drunk.

"Uncle, are you drinking?"

At some point, the little girl who was sleeping in the bed suddenly appeared in front of him with her sleepy eyes rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Yes."

Under the faint candlelight, Chen An, whose drunkenness gradually rose, whispered.

"...Are uncle unhappy? Is it because of Yaoyao?"

The little girl walked to Chen An silently, reached out and pulled his shoulder and whispered.

"Yaoyao... A few days ago, the court executed your father."

Chen An drank the turbid wine in the bowl in one mouthful and called the little girl's name. After a long silence, he finally revealed the news of Tang Zhiyao's death.

Tears fell silently, and the little girl grabbed Chen An's hand and began to tremble. After experiencing so many things, no one knew whether she had expected this result.

"Mother is dead, father is dead...Uncle...Yaoyao will never have any father and mother again..." The little girl said intermittently with a choking voice. "...Why? Why do father and mother want to leave me...I'm so scared...Yaoyao is really scared...Uncle...You won't leave me too in the future, and leave Yaoyao alone and stay in this world from now on..."

“…”

Faced with the little girl's last tearful question, Chen An didn't know how to answer so that she could not hurt her heart.

"Uncle, you talk...you talk..."

The little girl shook Chen An's hand and cried louder and louder.

"Yaoyao, do you believe there are gods in the world?"

Chen An picked up the last jar of wine in pain and poured it into his mouth. When he arrived at the drinking jar of wine, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him.

"Uncle..." The little girl didn't know what she meant.

"Uncle is the god sent by God to save you... But... God is about to take your uncle away..."
