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

She knew it was a deliberate attempt to stall for her.

Although the other party knows that the consequences of doing so must be extremely serious, and they may no longer have a place in this village.

The girl took a light breath, her eyes were red, and she carefully lowered the clay figure to the ground, and smiled sadly: "But...... I really can't be so selfish anymore......"

On the other side, thunder occasionally flickered in the sky, and in the village chief's room, the village chief sat on a chair with an uncertain expression. In front of him, a young man knelt on the ground, his head bowed and silent.

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

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! Don't you think our village is chaotic enough? The village chief slapped the table hard and glared angrily.

"Dad, please! Xiao Yun 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 worship the god!" He said word by word.

"You...... You unfilial son! The village chief opened his mouth for a long time, but he could only reprimand him hatefully, and then looked outside the house and was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Okay, you can take her away......

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

"With this river god here, this Suwon Village is destined to decline. I can't watch you young people still tied to this rotten tree until I die. The village chief looked much tired, "Take the young people with you, let as many people as you want, and don't come back." ”

"Daddy...... Let's go together! The young man said hurriedly.

Then I heard the village chief whisper as if talking to himself: "It's too late......"

"What?" The young man was slightly stunned.

"Let's go! Don't wait for me to regret it! The village chief suddenly rebuked again.

"I'm ......" the young man hesitated for a moment, and kowtowed again, "I...... I'll go! ”

***********

Suwon Village is not quiet in the middle of the night.

From afar, Du Bai heard movement outside, he didn't feel much sleepy after the previous one, and he went out to look curiously, but he saw a group of villagers wearing robes and hats, holding hoes and sickles in their hands, and walking towards the river embankment with continuous shouting.

"What's going on?" He had some doubts in his heart.

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

"Oh no, uncle!" When one of the guards saw him, he immediately said eagerly, "The river is rising too fast, and the embankment is afraid that it will not be able to hold on!" ”

Du Bai was stunned when he heard this, and then a bone-piercing coolness rushed from the center of his feet to the top of his head, making him tremble subconsciously.

He has been on guard against ghosts, gods and demons since just now, but he never expected that the most life-threatening thing now is the real unpredictable natural disaster!

If the river really bursts, then I am afraid that Suwon Village, which is downstream, will turn into an ocean in less than a moment, and it is difficult to survive!

"How's it going over there?" Du Bai hurriedly asked.

"Fortunately, although it is a little dangerous, the embankment is still strong and will not be broken in a while." The guard replied.

"Go and tell the maid to wake up Miss." Du Bai thought for a moment, and immediately ordered them to go down, and told them to hurry up and prepare to pack their luggage and leave at any time.

Although the late night and heavy rain are not suitable for walking, it is still more acceptable than the danger of flooding and bursting the levee at any time.

Soon, the courtyard was lively again. Although he was tired, after knowing the dangerous situation he was facing, no one dared to complain, but his actions were even faster.

Soon Su Wanmiao also appeared in the courtyard with a little worry, but she was used to being the backbone of the Su family and couldn't show her weakness in front of everyone, she forced her composure and gave orders that were clearer and more organized than what Du Bai said before.

She knew that she couldn't be afraid, her subordinates were the entire Su family, and if even she was afraid, then things would go in a worse direction!

She stood on a high place, calm and composed, letting the rain splashing in from the window wet her face, her voice trembling slightly but not losing momentum, successfully calming everyone down from the pervasive panic atmosphere.

But Du Bai, who was standing behind her, could notice that her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her hands were clutching her sleeves tightly since they were lowered.

Her mood is far from being as calm as it seems!

Du Bai's heart was suddenly touched, and he quietly walked behind her, slowly but forcefully holding her slender hand that was soaked in rain and cold.

"It's going to be fine!" He looked ahead, and his tone was unmistakable.

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

Su Wanmiao's body seemed to tremble slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to break free, but when she looked back, she saw his determined look, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes when she was slightly confused, and then slowly turned around, but her palm twisted slightly, and she held Du Bai with her backhand, and her ten fingers were connected, not separated.

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

Feeling the warmth faintly coming from the palm of her hand, she remembered the night she got married.

At that time, the red candle was slightly drunk, and she sat on the edge of the bed with a red hijab, her heart was both the shyness of a newborn woman and the anxiety of an unknown future, and her white and flawless face was flushed against the red cloth.

She knew that her task was to pass on the Su family's ancestry. She heard that the husband who had just bowed to her three times was a scholar, and although he had not yet achieved fame, he should also be a person who liked elegance and poetry and songs. Maybe he and he can find some common interests in this area......

How could a girl with a spring not fantasize about what kind of man her future husband was?

Is it a great writer who reprimands Fang Xuan and becomes a poem in seven steps, or a chivalrous man with strong martial arts and chivalry, or a general who angrily beheads the enemy army for the country and the people?

However, for the sake of the Su family, which is shaking in the wind and rain, for the wish of her grandfather, who is old overnight, and in order to protect her sister who still likes to mess around, she is willing to let go of those inhumane ideas and marry a stranger who has never met her.

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

But for a long time, there was no expected beautiful scene. The scholar was so drunk that he never came to remove her red hijab, but instead began to go drunk.

It is not difficult to hear from those few words, the other party does not like the identity of the son-in-law and is even very disgusted, but he is even more annoyed that he is powerless to resist, and he thinks that everyone outside is laughing at him. And he is incompetent, but he can only vent all his grievances on the wine glass on the table!

"Knock ......"

With a crisp sound, the sound of the glass of wine falling to the ground and shattering, accompanied by the intermittent words in the scholar's indistinct mouth, Su Wanmiao's delicate body under the red hijab trembled slightly, her fingers tightly grabbed the placket of her clothes, and she was silent all the time.

One night in the cave room, she sat with her head covered and sat all night, but the bridegroom fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

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

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

This estrangement continues to this day, but it seems to have been bridged by this small gesture.
