At this point, Xiao Yi shed two lines of tears and cried for a while before continuing:
"They also said that I'm a loser, and it would be nice if someone wanted me. The old man was even willing to spend ten taels of silver. Uh-huh, I don't want to get married at all. I know that I'm not clean anymore, and I don't go anywhere anymore. Running around didn't bring any embarrassment to the family, but why, why couldn't we do what we wanted?"
"Obviously, I had a fiancé before this. Until now, my fiancé is willing to accept me. He knows that I have suffered and that I was kidnapped without my will. He understands me very well. He is willing to marry me, but unfortunately his family is poor and cannot afford a gift of ten taels."
"Perhaps his family can put together ten taels, but his family is unwilling and says I'm not worth it. As for my family, they are more inclined to let me be a concubine of a rich family. Maybe now Only when I leave this village can I start a new life."
"But I have lived here all my life, how can I leave? And my fiancé is the only one in my heart from beginning to end. I simply can't marry anyone else..."
"I also know very well that whether I marry that old man or marry my fiancé as I wish, I will be criticized by others throughout my life, and it will also affect the person who marries me in the future. I don't want that. ”Kanshu La
"I am already in pain, and my existence not only causes pain to my family, but also to the people around me. It will also cause pain to my husband in the future. I should not exist in this world..."
"..."
Xiao Yi expressed all the grievances in her heart in one breath, and then she covered her face and cried bitterly.
Liu Shengsheng stood aside with a heavy face, as if she had never thought that this would be the case.
Thinking back to when I was in the capital, the children of wealthy families could easily spend hundreds of thousands of taels.
In such remote mountainous areas, just ten taels can buy a person's life.
Liu Shengsheng couldn't help but glance at the mountain village in the distance.
When I passed by it just now, I thought the village was very beautiful, but now it seems that all the beauty is just appearance.
"It's just ten taels, I'll help you, young master."
Finally, Yichen broke the silence. He took out a silver bag from his arms, counted it, took out ten taels, and threw it to Xiao Yi.
"Just take this and go back, stay and fly with your fiancé. Don't worry about the rumors. The smaller the place, the more people talk. At worst, just change your life. There is no need to live or die."
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows, obviously not expecting that this kid Yichen could say such a thing.
As a result, Yichen looked at her again and said, "Girl, do you think so?"
Liu Shengsheng: "..."
This guy knows how to ask himself a question at the end.
But Xiao Yi shook her head repeatedly, "No! It's not my silver, how can I take it? Young Master, you'd better take these ten taels of silver back, I..."
"We are on our way in a hurry. Girl, just take the money and go back."
Du Tingyun next to him couldn't help but said.
After saying that, he returned to the carriage.
Yichen also walked back to Liu Shengsheng.
Seeing that Liu Shengsheng hadn't left for a long time, Yichen whispered: "Girl, let's continue on our way. With the money, she probably won't die."
Liu Shengsheng did not speak, but stared at the river ahead.
I saw that the water in the river suddenly became very turbid, and the water level seemed to have risen a lot.
Yichen scratched his head and said, "It's strange. The water was so clear just now. How come the water in the river is now the same as the sky, changing so quickly..."
Yes, the water was very clear just now.
It is because of the beautiful mountains and clear waters that Liu Shengsheng thinks the scenery of this village is beautiful.
Liu Shengsheng looked up at the trees on both sides of the river. The weather was sunny and everything seemed calm.
But suddenly, she frowned.
"Everyone obeys the order! Cross the river as quickly as possible. No one is allowed to cross the river.
Stop on the bridge! "
This sudden order shocked everyone, and no one reacted.
But we had to cross the river anyway, so everyone obeyed the order and quickened their pace.
But Liu Shengsheng strode up to Xiao Yi and said, "I found that the houses in your village are not very far from this river. You should go back immediately and ask everyone in the village to climb higher. Don't stay in the village!"
Xiao Yi has not yet recovered from what just happened, her eyes are still sad, "Gu, no, it's Her Royal Highness, I can't accept your money, I..."
"It's not about money now! You must run back immediately and let all the villagers in your village go to higher ground!"
The cold tone startled Xiao Yi, "What, what's wrong..."
"There's going to be a flood."
Liu Shengsheng's tone was a little colder, and she said to the large group of soldiers behind her: "Everyone, run! Hurry up and cross the river! The group at the back should not cross the river, avoid to the side, and climb to higher ground !」
After saying that, she quickly returned to the carriage and crossed the bridge at a very fast speed.
But how can tens of thousands of soldiers cross the bridge in a short time?
Almost half of them were left on the other side of the river, and Liu Shengsheng directly stopped them from getting on the bridge, but kept calling for everyone to run up the hillsides on both sides.
Although Xiao Yi didn't understand the situation, seeing so many people obeying Liu Shengsheng's arrangements, he immediately ran downstream in a panic.
As she ran, she waved her hands and shouted.
"Folks! There's going to be a flood! Everyone, run!"
"Everyone, run to higher ground! There's going to be a flood!"
"..."
She ran and shouted, quickly disturbing many people in the village.
I saw the villagers coming out of the house one after another, and then staring at her shouting with confusion.
At the same time, Du Tingyun also got out of the car again and came to Liu Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, what are you doing? Although it did rain this morning, it has stopped raining for most of the day, and the sun is shining here. Mingming, how could there be a flood?"
"We are in the lower reaches of the river. Although the sun is shining brightly here, you can't guarantee whether it is raining heavily in the upper reaches of the river! Now the river water has suddenly become so turbid, and the water level has risen significantly, and even the volume of water flow has increased. Quite a few, this is most likely a sign of the coming flash flood, we must pay attention to it!"
Liu Shengsheng explained with a serious face.
Du Tingyun said, "It's your first time coming to Liguo and you don't understand the terrain at all. How can you easily conclude that a flood will break out here?"
"If it is true that it is raining heavily upstream, as you said, it is not impossible that the water downstream will become turbid. Besides, the river is so wide, if there is a flood in the upper reaches, then it is impossible that we have not received any news now... "
Having said this, Du Tingyun continued with some helplessness: "Besides, how can you conclude that it is raining upstream? How can it rain here but not there? I have never seen both ends of a river. The sun is shining and the rain is pouring.”
