After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

Pretending to be confused, they secretly became a couple in the villa and stuck together all the time.

After a few days, they were still reluctant to part. Wan Ning thought that the weather was getting colder and it would be inconvenient to live in the village, so she wanted to bring Wan Tao with her. In the early morning, Wan Ning carried a lot of things to the east room and took out a new quilt to spread it, so that Wan Tao could live in a comfortable and warm house as soon as she arrived.

Ziheng followed closely behind them to help, and whenever he had time, he would watch over them, his eyes almost growing on Wantao. Lisong couldn't bear to look inside even when he passed by, fearing that his eyes would disturb them.

"Cough cough." Li Song deliberately coughed twice, and the two people in the room turned around tacitly.

"What's the matter?"

"I...I'm going to pick up Miss Wantao now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lord Lisong." Wan Ning waved at him, looking forward to seeing Wan Tao soon.

Ziheng watched Lisong walk away, thinking something bad in his heart, and gradually walked behind him and gently played with his fingers. Wan Ning slapped him unceremoniously and said angrily, "Stop it."

"I have done everything you asked me to do, Yanyan, please check." Ziheng pulled her clothes coquettishly, looking like he was asking for praise.

Wan Ning put her hands behind her back and examined carefully: "Ahem, Xiao Heng did a good job, keep up the good work."

“Only compliments?”

"Isn't the praise enough? Unfortunately, I'm penniless and have nothing to give you." Wan Ning put her hands on her hips and deliberately teased him.

Ziheng pulled her into his arms, blushed and leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yanyan, Lisong is not here, we are the only ones here now."

Meanwhile, Li Song arrived at Wan Ning's old house in the village at noon, but he didn't see Wan Tao. The kitchen looked unkempt, and the house was covered in dust, as if no one had been back for a long time.

This was indeed the case. On the day when Mu Xun came to the villa to look for Wan Ning, he thought that she had walked this road many times and it was still light, so he did not personally send her back. The two said goodbye in the town, but Wan Tao did not want to go back so early. As an eyewitness to Wan Ning, she was deeply moved when she saw Wan Ning and Zi Heng standing together.

Everything seems to be resolved. Far away from the turmoil in Nanye City, living a happy and ordinary life in a small border town is the best solution to the current broken life.

Her own shabby life had already fallen into hell and it was impossible to turn back. The peaceful life that she had not been able to lead, Wan Ning would continue. Wan Tao was extremely grateful at this moment, and she had no worries. She wandered around the town aimlessly, wanting to take another good look at the life here.

As the sun set, she ordered a bowl of hot wontons from a wonton stand at the corner of the street, watching it go from steaming to completely cold, the surface condensing together. Wan Tao reached out to touch the veil on her face, gently stroking the raised scar behind the veil, her eyes gradually sour.

The wonton stand owner felt strange and was afraid that something might happen to a delicate girl, so he smiled and asked, "Girl, these wontons are cold, do you want me to heat them up for you?"

Wan Tao came to her senses, put the silver on the table, and stood up in a daze.

"Girl, you gave too much."

Wan Tao waved her hand, then walked into the crowd and disappeared.

This town is sandwiched between Nanye and Tumo, and is a no-man's land. There have been few wars, big or small, in the past few years. Almost every family has people who died in the war. They bury the people in the soil, clean up the land, and then continue to live.

With nowhere to go, Wan Tao found a secluded place by the river and sat quietly, looking at the ripples on the lake, until the candlelight behind her went out and the pedestrians left.

slam-la-

A thunderclap suddenly exploded in the darkness, bringing Wan Tao back from her trance. She turned her head back cautiously. A black shadow emerged from the alley at the end, looked around in panic, staggered when he saw someone by the river, and then rushed over with a knife raised to kill him.

Seeing someone coming to kill her, Wan Tao knew she had nowhere to hide, so she simply closed her eyes and waited for death.

"It's better this way. If I commit suicide, I'd be like a coward. Even if the lady sees me, she won't blame me. It's over. It's all over."

Even though she was finally free, Wan Tao still clenched her palms nervously. Her attachment to the world was not enough to resist her fear of the truth. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the weapons fell on the steps with a crackling sound, followed by a muffled groan.

Wan Tao opened her eyes and saw the killer lying on the ground motionless, with a long sword stuck in his back, and his weapon had slipped to her feet. The long sword behind him hit her heart, and she died so quickly that she couldn't even make any extra sounds. The person who did it was very decisive. Wan Tao immediately looked back and saw a figure at the entrance of the alley. Although she couldn't see his appearance clearly, she could tell that he was the one who saved her just now.

Suddenly, the shadow became shorter and shorter, and gradually slid down the wall and fell to the ground. Wan Tao quickly pulled the sword out from behind the man, holding it in her hand and ran towards her benefactor.

"Wake up, sir, wake up." Wan Tao helped him sit up. Her back felt sticky and her clothes were torn. She immediately realized that he was bleeding.

I sniffed my breath and found that he was still alive.

"You go now." The benefactor pushed her hand away. If the killer didn't return in time to report, the next wave of people would be sent over. Rather than dragging down others, it would be better to let her go first.

This voice sounded very familiar. Wan Tao stretched out her hand and held it in the air. She already had the answer in her heart. She tore off her clothes and simply covered his wound. She raised her arm and put it on her shoulder, trying to use her body to help him stand up.

"You...you go."

Wan Tao lowered her head and continued to exert force, lowering her voice and said coldly: "Shut up! You want me to die here together? You just saved me, and now I'll give it back to you."

"But... Miss Wan... Tao?"

Wan Tao froze for a second. Even so, she was recognized by him. She could only say "hmm". After a pause, she returned to her original hoarse voice: "Yes, Master Zijian, long time no see."

Zijian no longer refused help, and walked out of the town with Wantao's help. The village was far away and not a good place to go. Fortunately, there was a shepherd's temporary house on the road. Wantao had seen it several times. It seemed deserted for a long time and no one came. It was a temporary place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Beat the straw to drive away any insects that might be hiding, and then help Zijian lie on it.

"Thank you, Miss Wantao."

Wan Tao did not answer, but subconsciously reached into his clothes and took out a small pocket, from which she pulled out a tinder and started a fire. She checked his wounds by the light of the flame, and then took out a few small bottles from her pocket and poured the powder on the wounds.

"I applied medicine for you and the bleeding has stopped. How are your eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Wan Tao squatted beside her and covered her body with extra straw to keep her warm.

Zi Jian suddenly grabbed her wrist, holding it tightly, unable to break free, with doubt in his eyes, and asked:

"How did you know... that there was medicine powder... in my arms, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
