In the last life, Lin Wan died silently, without even a single grave. In this life, no one has died yet, but the tomb and the inscription are well done. I have to say that this is a great irony. Ding Mujie stood in front of the tombstone and meditated with a very complicated expression.
Lilac pulled his sleeve secretly and whispered, "Brother, let me tell you one thing, in fact, sister Lin Wan is not dead, her reputation has been ruined, and the old lady can't tolerate her, that's why she said she was dead. Yesterday. Her maid came to me and asked me to send you a letter. Brother, sister Lin Wan is really pitiful. She has such a strict grandmother. Please help her, she now lives in a village in the suburbs of Beijing Come on, there isn't even a single person around to serve you."
Unable to hook up with King Kang, Lin Wan actually thought of Ding Mujie again. She also blamed Ding Mujie for being too infatuated in the past, obeying her every word and obeying everything, so until now, she thought that as long as she turned around, she would be able to soften Ding Mujie. It's a pity that Ding Mujie has been used by her all her life, and her heart has long been riddled with holes, and she can never return to the beginning.
"Xiang'er, it's time for you to have some snacks." Ding Mujie glanced at the tombstone for the last time and said slowly, "Lin Wan broke the golden step last time. She didn't want to explain to the old lady, so she lied to you. In the past, I deliberately led you to sway, so that the crime could be framed on your head. She and King Kang were your own wishes, not forced by circumstances. I went to see her at her house that day, and she begged me to take the initiative to break off the marriage so as to fulfill her. It was I who did not want to bear the charge of being ruthless and innocent, and refused. Some people looked indifferent, but in fact they were warm-hearted; some looked gentle and kind, but in fact they were full of ghostly tricks, just like Lin Wan. If you don't want to be framed by her again, you Less contact with her in the future."
Lilac was stunned, and after a long while, she stammered, "Brother, brother, is what you said true?"
"Me and Lin Wan, who do you believe in?" Ding Mujie asked without answering.
"Of course it's my brother!" Lilac replied quickly, and then sighed: "Oh my god, did Sister Lin Wan frame me last time? How could she be so bad? She also asked you to take the initiative to break off the marriage, asking you to take on the ruthless and unjust, The accusation of reneging on the promise! Brother, you grew up with her, and the relationship is so deep that she doesn't even care about you, she is terrible!"
"Know the person, know the face, but not the heart, so be careful in the future." Ding Mujie helped Lilac onto the carriage, while he rode down the mountain. Passing a high hill, he saw a cloud of dust in front of him. The army of the Western Expedition had already set off today, preparing to go to the border to fight against the Xiongnu.
Old General Lin and Lin Tie walked in the forefront of the army with very solemn expressions, followed by King Zhuang and some lieutenants. The Lin family's female relatives stood in the Shili Pavilion not far away and watched them leave. The son of the Lin family spent almost his entire life at the border, and even if he returned to Beijing, he would not be able to stay for a few months. And the women of the Lin family stayed peacefully in the capital, and even though they endured the fear of losing their relatives day and night, they never cried out a word of bitterness.
As the daughter of Lin's family, Lin Dan is naturally very strong. When she married into the Ding family, she never complained for herself, but silently took care of the family. Whenever her mother and sister encountered difficulties, she would do her best to help. She was so good, but she couldn't see it at all... Ding Mujie recalled the past, and his heart throbbed. At this moment, Lin Dan noticed that someone was looking at him, turned his head and looked over, his indifferent eyes swept away lightly on him.
Ding Mujie seemed to have been casted by someone, and he didn't dare to move for a long time, and he slowly let out a sigh of relief when Lin Dan was completely gone.
He was ashamed to see Lin Dan, but he wanted to see how she was doing recently. If Lin Dan can't get happiness, his rebirth will really lose its meaning, so he does everything he can to change the tragedy of the Lin family.
But fate is fate, even if he foresaw the opportunity, even if he had been prepared, the bad news still came as scheduled. The Western expedition army was defeated by the Huns in Hetao, causing the Xiongnu army to extend south to northern Shanxi and northern Shaanxi. General Lin was killed on the spot, and the rest of the children died in battle to save him. General Lin was captured, and now his life and death are unknown, only The youngest son of the Lin family was on the back defense and escaped by luck. The good Lin family was on the verge of collapse in an instant.
The emperor did not blame the Lin family for the defeat, and even sent many rewards to appease the old and weak women and children of the Lin family, but the Lin family's prestige still suffered a heavy blow, and there were voices of doubt from the inside and the outside. The interior of the Lin family was also in chaos. The old lady and Mrs. Lin fell ill one after another. The rest of the female family members could not support the scene. They only knew how to cry. There were also a few concubines who secretly collected their belongings and ran away at night.
Only Lin Dan is the calmest person in the family. She hasn't been here for a long time, and she doesn't have deep feelings for the Lin family, but since she has become the original owner, she should shoulder the responsibility of the original owner. She knew that Lin Tie was definitely not dead. He was the deputy commander of the Western Expedition Army and the soul of the Lin family army. He had a very high value, and the Huns would not kill him easily. If we set off now and rush to the border all day and night, we might be able to find a way to save Lin Tie.
Lin Dan is a very active person. He does what he thinks. That night, he simply cleaned up some softness and picked the strongest BMW from the stable. He left a letter and left. She stole the token of the Lin Mansion, but the guards guarding the city did not dare to stop her, and immediately opened the door to let people go. As soon as she ran out, she saw a man leading a horse, standing on the only way to the border crossing, as if Waiting for someone.
"Lin Dan, you really ran away from home!" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the man raised his head, revealing an incomparably beautiful face, it was Ding Mujie.
"Are you waiting for me?" Lin Dan tightened the reins and stopped slowly.
"Can I go to the border with you?" Ding Mujie asked without answering.
"I'm going to the border to save my father, what are you going to do?" Lin Dan frowned, looking unhappy.
Ding Mujie laughed and said: "You are alone, and you are a woman. I am not at ease. The Lin family is kind to me. I can't watch you in danger. I will go with you." He secretly ran away from home, but he was discovered in time and brought back, and then locked in the backyard for five years. His original intention was to protect her and prevent her from doing stupid things, but in the end, he became the culprit for killing her. Her family died and she had no husband and children to rely on, so she was too worried and gradually gave up hope of life.
Now do it again, he will not stop her again. What she wanted to do, he would help her secretly, and wherever she wanted to go, he would accompany her and protect her, and he would never leave her alone again.
Lin Dan raised his whip and said, "Just follow if you want. I have to hurry. I don't have time to chat with you."
Ding Mujie quickly caught up.
…
The two of them traveled at the same time in the starry night. Ding Mujie thought he was a big man and could take care of Lin Dan more, but he didn't expect it to drag Lin Dan back. His inner thighs were frayed by the saddle, and his hip bones were almost shattered. The horse collapsed and couldn't get up at all.
Lin Dan brought some water to let him wash up, and then went to the nearest town to buy two soft leathers, which he tied to his thighs.
"This way, the skin won't be frayed. We'll be at the border for two more days," she explained.
"Thank you." Ding Mujie ran behind the tree to sort out his clothes and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I've practiced riding and shooting since I was a child, and I've been used to it." Lin Dan said while handling the incoming prey.
Looking at her quiet profile, and then at her neat movements, Ding Mujie was full of frustration and shame.
Lin Dan didn't give him the time to hurt the spring and autumn, and urged him to eat quickly. After eating, he stomped out the bonfire and climbed on the horse's back. Ding Mujie tried several times before climbing up with difficulty. As soon as he sat firmly, he felt a sharp pain in his hip and wanted to fall down instantly. But in order not to let Lin Dan underestimate him, he forcibly held back, whipped the whip to make peace, as if he was in good spirits, but his head started to feel dizzy not long after he ran out, and although he tried his best to grab the reins, he still staggered down. .
Lin Dan was as careful as a hair, and had already discovered his abnormality. He galloped over, and the moment he landed, he took the man into his arms and placed it on his horse's back. Ding Mujie was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, raised his head with difficulty, and thanked Lin Dan with a red face, but Lin Dan didn't even look at him.
The two horses kept pace with each other, their speed unabated, raising a long yellow dust on the road.
Ding Mujie was lying on the horse's back, the wind whistling in his ears, and Lin Dan's body temperature beside him, but his heart was a mess. In his previous life, he had never bothered to get to know Lin Dan, only that this person did not understand the language and rhythm, and was a very crude and shallow woman. Only now did he know what the real Lin Dan looked like. She is not vulgar, on the contrary, she is very unrestrained; she is not shallow, on the contrary, she is brave and fearless. It's not that she's bad, it's just that no one appreciates her goodness...
In his previous life, if he stopped to get to know Lin Dan carefully and seriously, it would not have caused the sad and ridiculous ending that followed.
Ding Mujie was in tears as he thought about it, and suddenly heard Lin Dan say lukewarmly, "I'll find a place to put you in the next town. Either you stay there for a while, and I'll pick you up when I come back. Either you hire some escorts to return to the capital. You are a pampered noble son, why should you follow me to suffer like this?"
Hearing these words, Ding Mujie couldn't feel sad in an instant, and there was still a sense of absurdity in his heart. He always felt that he was a delicate lady, and Lin Dan was the big man who stood up to the sky.
"I want to go to the border with you, maybe there is something that can help you. Although I am not physically strong, my brain is very smart, you believe me." Ding Mujie tried his best to show his advantages.
Lin Dan said casually, "A smart head would like Lin Wan? Forgive my clumsiness, I really didn't see it."
Ding Mujie: "..."
