Chapter 27 The Reason

There was a little noisy quarrel in the distance, as if the man had a quarrel with the visitor, and the more he quarreled, the more fierce he became.

She knew that it was deliberately delaying her time.

Although the other party knew that the consequences of doing so would be extremely serious and it might not even be able to have a place in this village.

The girl took a light breath, her eyes flushed, she carefully placed the clay man on the ground, and smiled desolately: "But... I can't be so selfish anymore..."

On the other side, lightning flashed occasionally in the sky. In the village chief's room, the village chief sat on a chair with a gloomy face. A young man in front of him knelt on the ground, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Dad..." The young man's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Nonsense! It's simply nonsense! Do you think our village is not messy enough?" The village chief slapped the table hard and glared in his eyes.

"Dad, please! Xiaoyun is innocent!" The young man kowtowed heavily, and a trace of blood was faintly visible on the floor.

"If the river god still doesn't give up, then let me replace her and I will go to sacrifice to the god!" He said word by word.

"You...you are unfilial son!" The village chief opened his mouth for a while, but he could only angrily rebuke this, turned to look outside the house and remained silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Well, you can take her away..."

Hearing this, the young man suddenly raised his head and looked at his father in disbelief.

"With this river god here, this Suwon Village is destined to decline. It's okay for me to be old, and I can't watch you young people being tied to this rotten tree until death." The village chief seemed much tired, "Take the young people, leave as many people as you have, don't come back."

"Dad... let's go together!" said the young man hurriedly.

Then he heard the village chief whispering as if he was talking to himself: "It's too late..."

"What?" the young man was slightly stunned.

"Go away! Don't wait for me to regret it!" the village chief suddenly scolded again.

"I..." The young man hesitated for a moment and kowtowed again, "I...I'll go now!"

************

The Suwon Village is also not peaceful late at night.

From afar, Du Bai heard something outside. After experiencing the previous episode, he was not sleepy at all. He was curious to go out and looked around, but saw a group of villagers wearing straw raincoats and hats, holding hoes and sickles in their hands, and were constantly shouting and walking towards the river bank.

"What's wrong?" He was a little confused.

When he put on his clothes and went outside, he happened to see several nervous guards rushing back from outside.

"No, my son-in-law!" A guard immediately said anxiously when he saw him, "The river water is rising too fast, and the bank and dike are probably unable to hold on!"

Du Bai was stunned when he heard this, and then a bone-thrusting coldness surged from the soles of his feet and made him tremble subconsciously.

He was always on guard against ghosts, gods and demons since the beginning, but he never expected that the most life-threatening natural disasters nowadays!

If the river breaks the dam, then the Suwon Village, which is located downstream, will probably turn into a vast ocean in less than a moment, and it is unlikely that it will survive!

"How is the situation there now?" Du Bai asked hurriedly.

"Fortunately, although it is a bit dangerous, the river embankment is still firm and will not be broken in a short while." The guard replied.

"Go and ask the maid to wake up the lady." Du Bai thought for a moment, immediately gave instructions, and asked them to prepare to pack their luggage and be ready to leave at any time.

Although it is not suitable for traveling late at night and heavy rain, it is more acceptable than the risk of floods and dam breaking at any time.

Soon, the yard became lively again. Although I was tired, no one dared to complain after knowing the dangerous situation I was facing, but instead he accelerated his movements a little faster.

Soon, Su Wanmiao appeared in the yard with a little concern, but she was used to being the backbone of the Su family, unable to show her weakness in front of everyone. She forced herself to calm down and gave clearer and more organized orders than Du Bai said before.

She knew she could not be afraid. Her subordinates were the entire Su family. If even she was afraid, things would go in a worse direction!

She stood on a high place, calm and composed in the face of danger, allowing the rain splashed out of the window to wet her face. Her voice trembled slightly but her momentum, successfully allowing everyone to gradually calm down from the pervasive panic atmosphere.

But Du Bai, who was standing behind her, could notice that her shoulders were trembling slightly. After putting down her hands, she clutched her sleeves tightly.

Her mood was far from being as calm as she showed!

Du Bai's heart suddenly felt touched, and he quietly walked behind her, slowly but vigorously holding her slender hand soaked in the rain and was chilling.

"Nothing will happen!" He looked ahead and said firmly, unquestionable.

This is his confidence in the body of another ghost king! Even if the sky falls, he can withstand it!

Su Wanmiao seemed to tremble slightly, subconsciously trying to break free, but she turned around but saw his firm look. A trace of complex emotions flashed in a slight confusion in her eyes. Then she slowly turned around, but her palm twisted slightly, held Du Bai with her backhand, and connected her ten fingers without being separated.

The clothes fluttered, and the wind and rain still did not stop, but at this moment, Su Wanmiao's heart gradually calmed down.

Feeling the warmth faintly from her palm, the night of marriage appeared in her mind.

At that time, Hongzhu was slightly drunk, and she sat beside the bed with a red veil. She felt both the shyness of a new adult woman and the uneasiness of an unknown future. Her flawless face was blushed against the red cloth.

She knew that her mission was to pass on the Su family's family. She heard that her husband, who had just been worshipping the high house for three years, was a scholar. Although he had not yet achieved fame, he should also be a person who likes elegance and poetry. Perhaps she and him could find some common hobbies in this regard...

How could a girl in her youth not fantasize about what kind of man her future husband would be?

Is it a great writer who is so powerful that he can become a poem in seven steps, or a chivalrous knight with great martial arts, or a general who is angrily beheaded for the country and the people?

However, for the sake of the Su family, which was swaying in the storm, for the wish of her grandfather who had been old all night, and for the protection of her sister who still liked to make trouble, she would rather let go of those thoughts that were not worthy of being spoken by others and marry a stranger who had never met.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside and she heard a drunk man stumble in from the outside.

But after a long time, there was no expected beautiful scene. The scholar was drunk and never came to uncover her red veil. Instead, he began to become drunk.

It is not difficult to hear from those words that the other party does not like the son-in-law's identity and even disgusted it very much. However, he is even more angry that he is powerless to resist. He is arrogant and thinks that everyone outside is laughing at him. But he is incompetent but can only vent all his resentment on the wine glass on the table!

"Dong..."

With a crisp sound, the sound of the cup of wine falling to the ground and shattering, accompanied by the intermittent words and sentences in the scholar's vague mouth, Su Wanmiao's delicate body under the red veil trembled slightly, her fingers tightly grasped her clothes, and remained silent.

She sat in the bridal chamber for a night, but the groom fell to the ground and was intoxicated.

Since that day, she has slept with him in separate rooms.

Of course it was because of his poor health and serious condition, or maybe it was because of the only self-esteem and stubbornness left in her heart.
