Song Dynasty female artist

Zhou Zheng raised the sword in his hand and said, "It is so difficult for a woman like you to travel in troubled times. Having me as your companion will give you more protection."

Tan Taixi's face became serious: "I don't need sympathy."

Zhou Zheng: "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to protect you. If you don't want me to, I'll follow you!"

After saying that, he really kept a proper distance and refused to go back.

Zhou Zheng was also alone.

In these troubled times, it is so difficult to survive.

Perhaps he came here from somewhere else, wanting to live a quiet life, but now his peaceful life has been disrupted.

"sorry."

Tan Tai Xi said: "After I leave, the rumors will naturally die down, and you can still marry a wife and live a good life in that place."

Zhou Zheng: "It has nothing to do with you."

He was tired of such days, so he might as well follow her around. He also had some martial arts skills, so he could ensure their safety.

The two began to travel together.

Stay temporarily wherever it is more stable.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two are already a chivalrous couple.

The longest time they lived in a city was three years. The two of them had some savings. Tan Tai Xi was full of poetry and books. Seeing that the place was stable enough, he planned to open a private school and only accept female disciples.

The private school was established, but few students came to study.

The purpose of establishing a private school was not to make money. If there was one Tan Tai Xi, he would teach one, and if there were two, he would teach a pair. Gradually, Tan Tai Xi's reputation spread, and people also knew that Tan Tai Xi was actually a disciple of the famous Tan Tai Mieming.

Therefore, not only female disciples but also men came to listen to Tan Tai Xi's lectures.

Time flies, and the years are peaceful.

Tan Tai Xi's disciples grew up and began to travel around, bringing her fame to various places.

Seven years later, an old friend who claimed to be Tan Tai Xi came to the door.

This person was none other than Tan Tai Xi's senior brother and Tan Tai Mieming's second disciple. He was the one who was most opposed to her inheriting his legacy.

He was the one who had her driven away in the first place.

It's not that Tan Tai Xi doesn't feel resentful, but over the past few years, she has lived a normal life and has established her own sect. She doesn't want to argue with this person.

"Tan Tai Xi, you have been expelled from the sect. Who allowed you to teach here in the name of the master?"

"Move aside, I don't know you."

"You don't know me? I'm your second senior brother Gong Ye Si."

Tan Tai Xi looked at Gong Ye Si coldly: "I don't have a second senior brother, I only have Master Tan Tai Mieming. This is my private school, please leave."

Gongye Si smiled coldly: "Now I am the successor of Master's legacy. If I don't acknowledge it, you can't use our talents to teach disciples."

Tan Tai Xi sneered, said nothing more, and directly asked the guards to chase the people away.

However, Gongye Si's martial arts were very good. He knocked down all the guards. Later, he became angry and attacked Tan Tai Xi.

He showed no mercy and stabbed directly into Tan Tai Xi's left chest.

Tan Taixi fainted at that time. Gongye Si stepped forward to confirm whether he was dead or not. Fortunately, Zhou Zheng, who was traveling, came back and seriously injured Gongye Si. Gongye Si escaped and Tan Taixi was in danger. Zhou Zheng tried his best to heal her. During the months of recuperation, except for a few female disciples who took care of her, Zhou Zheng handled all external affairs.

Zhou Zheng originally had feelings for Tan Tai Xi, but Tan Tai Xi had always rejected him, so Zhou Zheng went out to travel, just to see the wider world outside and see if he could forget Tan Tai Xi.

But Tan Tai Xi is a ray of light, especially when she is giving lectures, she exudes confidence.

He fell into it unknowingly.

It’s not that Tan Tai Xi has no feelings for Zhou Zheng. It might be because she was heartbroken by her fellow disciples at the hands of her master before, so she became emotionally closed and slow to react. This time, she was seriously injured by Gong Ye Si and almost died. It was Zhou who saved her.

So my friendship for Zhou Zheng suddenly burst out.

The two quickly fell in love.

The two agreed on a wedding date, which was two months later.

The token of engagement was the box given to Su Yixin. Tan Taixi opened the box and looked at the things in it.

But a month later, this place was surrounded by war, people fled everywhere, disciples scattered, and she and Zhou Zheng were forced to leave the place where they had lived for many years.

After a long journey of wandering, their wedding had no witnesses and was held in a cave where they stayed temporarily.

Another month passed, and Tan Tai Xi and Zhou Zheng were separated by refugees while fleeing.

Zhou Zheng’s memory temporarily stops here.

If you want to know what happens next, you have to connect to the scene in Tan Tai Xi's memory just now.

Tan Tai Xi only found out that she was pregnant three months later.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it was for a helpless, unarmed and mentally retarded woman to survive in a time when human life was worthless.

Even so, she did not think of pawning the things in the box, but she was afraid that others would snatch them away, so she could only avoid the crowd and walk alone.

During her escape, she met a woman who was a few years younger than her. She was a widow and had a son, but the child was only two years old.

In those days of displacement, hungry people would do anything, including exchanging their own children for food. This was not just talk, but something we saw with our own eyes.

The woman would rather starve to death than use her child as food, so she took her child and left the crowd. However, on the first day, she encountered danger and was rescued by Tan Tai Xi. From then on, the two of them traveled together.

About half a month later, a heavy rain poured down. They did not find a place to shelter from the rain in time. The child was already weak and died in less than two days after being caught in the rain.

The woman was heartbroken, but with Tan Tai Xi's persuasion, and seeing that Tan Tai Xi was a pregnant woman who had helped her a lot during this period, she decided to bury the child and take care of Tan Tai Xi until she gave birth to the child safely.

But after being caught in the rain, Tan Tai Xi has been feeling unwell.

When the child was eight months old, he fell seriously ill and died.

After his death, it was that woman who buried Tan Tai Xi on that lonely mountain.

As for Zhou Zheng, after the two were separated, he had been looking for Tan Tai Xi, but after the world stabilized, he was unable to meet Tan Tai Xi again.

Zhou Zheng knew in his heart that in such a turbulent situation, it was difficult for him as a man with martial arts skills, and the possibility of Tan Tai Xi, a woman, surviving was slim.

For the next ten years, Zhou Zheng was like a prodigal son.

It was not until he was forty years old that he was thrown into prison due to an incident.

"Officer, please check it out. I was just passing by at the time. I have nothing to do with the murder."

The two officers, one of them not even looking at Zhou Zheng, hit the back of Zhou Zheng's hand holding the railing with a stick: "Stop shouting, it's too noisy! Everyone who is imprisoned here says that it has nothing to do with them. How many people who kill people would happily admit that they killed someone?" (End of this chapter)
