In a turbulent era, wars were raging and killings continued, and Kyoto was not immune.
Before Kyoto was captured, fortunately, Sima Ao took his students and fled to the mountains to avoid this disaster.
Sima Ao took his students into the city to look for surviving relatives.
The dazzling afterglow of the setting sun was mixed with a shocking crimson, and the cold air was filled with the smell of blood that made people vomit.
The students looked at the corpses everywhere and couldn't believe that the once prosperous city of Kyoto had been destroyed by the war, leaving only ruins.
father!
mother!
where are you? Still alive?
The students cried out for their relatives in grief.
uncle!
Godmother!
where are you?
Sima Lian cried out in grief, rummaging through the corpses for fear of missing them.
"Jiang Bin, Jingjing, are these you?"
Sima Ao saw two similar corpses from a distance and ran away staggeringly.
Not finding the body means there is still a chance of survival.
Sima Ao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the faces of the corpses, which were not Jiang Bin and Jingjing.
When Sima Ao was thankful that he couldn't find the bodies of Jiang Bin and Jingjing, he heard his daughter's heartbreaking cry not far away!
Woohoo...
uncle!
Godmother!
The bodies of Jiang Bin and Jingjing were found in the pile of corpses.
Sima Lian not only found her uncle and godmother in the corpse pile, but also found a guqin.
Based on the degree of damage to the guqin and the way Jiang Bin held Jingjing, everyone concluded that a serious stampede must have occurred.
……………
The army entered the city and announced that they would massacre the city. The people in the city were like frightened birds and wanted to run away in panic.
So are Jiang Bin and Jingjing, this group of escapees.
Too many people gathered at the city gate, causing a stampede.
During the stampede, Jiang Bin threw away his guqin and protected Jingjing with his body.
Even though Jingjing was protected by Jiang Bin's body, she still couldn't escape from this difficulty.
In the end, Jiang Bin, Jingjing and even more common people died not from the enemy's sword, but from a panic stampede.
When he saw the corpses of Jiang Bin and Jingjing, Sima Ao's eyes darkened, he was so sad that he fainted.
………………………………
Jingjing passed away, and Dongfang Yuer, who possessed Jingjing, had to show up.
As soon as Dongfang Yu'er appeared, Heavenly Court quickly captured Dongfang Yu'er's location.
Looking at Sima Ao's weather-beaten face, Dongfang Yu'er wanted to go up and comfort her, but thought that her time was running out, so she stopped again!
"It's been twenty years, Yu'er Siming Xingjun, you finally show up!" said the two heavenly generals.
"Yes, I have been hiding for twenty years!" As he spoke, Dongfang Yu'er looked up at the sky with emotion.
"Come back with us!" the two generals said again.
"Okay! Please let me say goodbye to Panda Tunnel."
Perhaps the beloved still lives in this land; or perhaps Dongfang Yuer loves this land deeply. Knowing that she is about to leave, she reluctantly begs the two gods to allow her to say goodbye to the earth.
The two heavenly generals looked at each other and agreed to Dongfang Yuer's request.
Dongfang Yu'er looked at the land affectionately, bent down, picked up a handful of sand, and slowly walked to the river. Without saying a word, she sprinkled the sand in her hands into the river.
Perhaps it was Dongfang Yuer's way of saying goodbye to the earth.
The rolling waves of the river lapped hard against the shore. Perhaps this was the earth's response and Dongfang Yu'er's way of saying goodbye.
After saying goodbye to Dadi, Dongfang Yuer kept her promise and followed the two heavenly generals back to heaven.
…………………………
Sima Lian, Houwa and other juniors brought the bodies of Jiang Bin and Jingjing back to the academy.
Although Jiang Bin and Jingjing didn't get together during their lifetime, they did get together heart-to-heart.
Sima Ao brought the bodies of Jiang Bin and Jingjing back to the academy and buried them together.
At first, I knew that my husband had this woman in his heart, but there was no trace of hatred in my heart; now that this woman has passed away, I don't feel any happiness in my heart; instead, I feel a little bit of cool frustration.
Jiang Min didn't know that she would have such incredible feelings for Jingjing.
………………………
Half a year later, before Sima Ao could get over the grief of Jiang Bin and Jingjing's death, he received the bad news of the unexpected death of his good brother Xiaopang.
First his mother, his father, then Li Fulai, then Jiang Bin, Jingjing, and now Xiaopang. His relatives and friends left him one by one. Sima Ao was heartbroken!
Having lived to this age, Sima Ao is not afraid of death. What he is afraid of is seeing his relatives and friends go away one by one.
It seemed that God wanted to use this method to torture Sima Ao.
Three years later, Jiang Min also passed away.
Sima Ao caressed Jiang Min gently, his wrinkled cheek seemed to be joking and giving advice.
"You will definitely suffer if you follow me. Don't follow me again in your next life."
Jiang Min looked at her husband in a daze. I never expected that my husband would say such words before he passed away.
Sima Ao knew that he was indebted to Jiang Min in this life, and was afraid that he would be indebted to Jiang Min in the next life, so he said this.
Jiang Min didn't reply for a long time, leaning against Sima Ao's shoulder and closing his eyes peacefully.
Although Jiang Min doesn't remember how she came to be in her previous life, and she doesn't know what will happen in the next life, she only knows that this life is a happy one, and she can be with the one she loves for the rest of her life!

The fallen leaves in autumn are like yellow flying butterflies, some falling on the heads or shoulders of Sima Ao and Jiang Min. Looking at the intimate scene of the two people from a distance, it is like a pair of lovers in their later years, holding each other's hands to watch the beautiful sunset.
………………………………
Three more years later, Sima Ao felt that he was about to die, so he called all the students to say their final goodbyes.
All the students knelt beside the bed, listening deeply to the teacher's last instructions and wishes!
Her daughter is the only person in this world that Sima Ao can't worry about.
Sima Ao first said to his daughter Sima Lian: "Don't you always want to leave here? After dad leaves, you can choose to leave or stay."
"Dad, my daughter knows she was wrong! If she doesn't leave, she will carry forward the academy founded by her father." Sima Lian admitted her mistake in tears.
Sima Ao shook his head in disapproval and continued: "No. Dad knows that you are a person who doesn't like to be restrained. You are still young and you should go out and make a living."
After speaking, Sima Ao called the monkey boy to come closer.
The monkey boy obediently knelt forward and listened carefully to his father-in-law's instructions.
Sima Ao took a deep breath and continued: "You are my teacher's most promising student, and you never live up to my teacher's expectations. Now you have become my teacher's son-in-law. When my teacher leaves, please take care of me." Good 'Golden Lotus', that is, your wife."
After Sima Ao said to the monkey boy, he turned to his daughter (Sima Lian) and said: "Although the monkey boy is not much older than you, he has experienced hardships, so he will think calmly when encountering things. You should listen to your husband's opinions more ."
"Um."
Sima Lian looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and then at her lying father.
Houwa promised: "Teacher, please rest assured that students will take good care of Jin Lian, as well as their junior brothers, junior sisters and the college."
Sima Ao listened and nodded in belief.
