cannon fodder love

Chapter 208 Fantasy Westward Journey 23
By the river, a group of people were playing and playing, it was very lively, and there were many people watching the excitement around.

A woman in a wedding dress was tied to a small boat. The woman was crying, and a huge stone was tied to her feet.

Beside the woman was a couple, both of them had sad faces, and they seemed to be the woman's parents.

"Daughter, don't blame daddy, this is fate." The man sighed and said helplessly.

"The time is coming, don't dawdle anymore." A man said with a cold face.

"Village chief, let me say a few more words with my daughter." The older woman pulled her daughter and said reluctantly.

"Mom, I don't want to marry."

"Daughter, mother also misses you."

The two hugged each other and wept bitterly, but the village chief urged him indifferently.

At this time, Gao Xiaoxuan and others came here.

"Eldest brother, it's so lively here, what do you think they are doing?" Bai Ling asked curiously.

"It should be a marriage. Does this bride want to marry across the river?" Xu Dong glanced at the bride and said.

"No, if it's a marriage, why is there a stone tied to her feet?" Bai Ling looked at the stone with some puzzlement.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoxuan seemed to think of something, frowned, and was about to step forward to ask.

Bai Ling had already come to the woman's side first, and asked with a smile: "Are you married today? Marriage is a good thing, why are you crying?"

The woman raised her tearful eyes, and just about to say something, the village head said impatiently: "What we do has nothing to do with you outsiders, you better mind your own business and leave as soon as possible."

"Business? I'll take care of this business." Bai Ling saw that there was something tricky in it, and said coldly.

"Ma'am, what's going on?" Gao Xiaoxuan stepped forward and asked.

"The River God marries a wife once a year. This year it's my family's turn, hey." The middle-aged woman sighed.

"The God of the River married a wife? What about the woman who was married before?" Gao Xiaoxuan asked nervously.

"They are all missing, I don't know if they are dead or alive." The middle-aged woman shook her head sadly.

"What are you talking about, hurry up and send your daughter on the road." The village head urged.

The two men lifted the woman and prepared to throw her into the water.

"The God of the River marrying a wife? Isn't he just wanting a girl? How about I replace her?" Bai Ling said suddenly.

"You? What nonsense is a man saying? Get out of here." The village head looked at her and said angrily.

"Who says I'm a man, I'm also a girl." Bai Ling took off his scarf and let his hair loose.

"You... are really a woman, you don't regret it." The village head asked.

"Don't regret it, change it quickly." Bai Ling said with a smile.

"Alright." The village chief said to the man standing on the boat, "Bring her to the boat and we'll change."

"Bai Ling, have you really decided?" Seeing Bai Ling walking towards the boat, Gao Xiaoxuan asked worriedly.

"Eldest brother, I'm fine, don't worry." Bai Ling smiled slightly and got on the boat.

"Girl, thank you." The woman on board said gratefully.

"Girl, hurry home." Bai Ling said with a smile.

"I don't need to tie a stone, I'll jump off by myself." Bai Ling changed into the bride's clothes and said calmly.

"Girl, it's time, will you dance by yourself or will we send you?" the village head said coldly.

"I'll jump by myself." Bai Ling looked at the crowd, then at Gao Xiaoxuan and the others, and jumped into the water.

"She asked for it herself, and we can't blame us." Seeing that there was no movement in the water, the village head said to Gao Xiaoxuan and the others.

"Hmph, why did the river god marry a wife? I'm afraid it's a water monster that hurt people?" Gao Xiaoxuan snorted coldly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you continue to be so disrespectful, be careful not to offend Lord River God." The village head said angrily.

"Let's go." The village head led everyone away, only the woman's family stayed.

"I'm afraid my benefactor will not come back. I'm sorry for her." The woman said guiltily.

"Don't worry, girl, she's fine." Gao Xiaoxuan comforted.

"Thank you, you might as well come to my house." The couple said gratefully.

"No need for now, we will wait for her here." Gao Xiaoxuan shook his head and said.

"Then let's go back first and leave." Seeing that staying here would not be of much help, the three of them turned and left.

"Xiaoxuan, do you think Bai Ling will be okay?" Yun Tian asked worriedly.

"Master, Bai Ling will be fine." After Gao Xiaoxuan finished speaking, he sat down by the river.

Several people stared at the river surface together, the water surface was quiet, there were no ripples at all.

"Why is there no movement?" Gao Xiaoxuan couldn't help frowning.

It's so quiet, I don't know what happened underwater...
