C1 The Bai Girl Jumped into the River

"Oh no! Someone help us! The second lady of Bai Family has jumped into the river! "

From the east end of the village came a series of shouts. The villagers who were working in the fields heard the shouts and threw away their work. They all ran towards that direction.

After a while, there were a lot of people standing by the river. Bai Xiao's body was floating and a few villagers found a stick to fish her up.

It was a pity that she failed to grab hold of the rod and climbed up Bai Xiao's body a few times when the rod streaked past him.

From the crowd, a tall man walked out. Without hesitation, he jumped into the river and fished out Bai Xiao who was trapped in the river due to the shock.

Bai Xiao's face was pale white, as if she was dead.

Yang Dingchu turned her over and fiercely slapped her back twice until he spat out water.

The fishy smell of the river made him nauseous.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Bai Xiao? She actually jumped into the river? "

"I heard that she married her to the seriously injured Master Liu for joy!"

"What?" That Master Liu must be over sixty years old, to be even a grandfather to Bai Xiao and think of him as being old, to actually marry her to an old man like that? "

"There's no other way. Who asked them to have money? Fifty silver taels worth of betrothal gifts. "

"What?" Fifty silver! Master Liu is so generous, if Bai Xiao marries, she would have endless silver! "

"Exactly, he would rather die than marry anyone. I really don't know what he's thinking. To save her, you have to have no reputation, no looks, and no looks. If someone is willing to marry you, why don't you hurry up and marry them?

"The more ugly you are, the more trouble you will commit."

"..."

Yang Dingchu smacked the water Bai Xiao drank out, but before Bai Xiao could wake up, she hesitated and leaned forward.

Warm lips to cold lips.

There was a collective intake of breath.

"Oh my god!" The three kids of Yang Family actually kissed that ugly girl called Bai Family? "

"Most of my face is a dark red birthmark, and I can even kiss him like this. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to vomit."

"Me too, I really don't know how the three Yang Family boys did it, aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night? "Ugh!"

Yang Dingchu did not stop his artificial respiration because of the discussions around him, until...

The girl opened her round eyes and stared at him.

Bai Xiao, who had reacted to the situation, pushed Yang Dingchu away. Discovering that the surroundings were filled with spectators, her old face flushed red as she threw herself into Yang Dingchu's embrace.

He was too embarrassed to meet anyone.

Yang Dingchu stood still, at a loss of what to do.

"Heavens, why is that ugly woman so shameless? She actually drilled herself into a man's embrace?"

"In broad daylight, with the passing of time, there is actually such a shameless person. Serves her right. She's sixteen years old, and yet she's still unable to get married."

The villagers' words were extremely unpleasant to hear, and Bai Xiao could not bear to listen any longer. She came out from Yang Dingchu's embrace and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you that I can't get married out? Did you eat or drink from your house? My parents didn't despise me, so what right do you have to say that? "

"Yo, ugly, poor character, or unlucky birth of the Ghost Festival. It's a fact that we can't get married out, so why should we allow others to say it?"

Ugly? It can't be! Although she wasn't some devastatingly beautiful woman, she was still as beautiful as a flower. How could the word 'ugly' be associated with her?

"Am I ugly?" Bai Xiao pointed at her face, and asked Yang Dingchu who was beside him.

Yang Dingchu thought: Don't you know whether it's ugly or not?

Seeing Yang Dingchu not saying a word, Bai Xiao knew the answer, she had not looked carefully, and now she realised that everyone's clothes were different from how they were in the past, she had teleported.

Become an ugly woman, or a bad character, ghost festival birth unknown person?

Bai Xiao, who could not accept this fact, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Yang Dingchu subconsciously reached out to catch it, "Hey, are you awake?"

Bai Xiao who was pretending with her eyes closed could not help but get up and kick the guy that was slapping her in the face the whole time.

Seeing that Bai Xiao had fainted, the people who were watching all dispersed. Who would care if she was dead or alive, they all carried the farm tools back to continue working.

What happened today was enough for them to talk about for a while.

Hearing that everyone had left, Bai Xiao immediately sat up, "Isn't this great?"

"Are you alright?"

He rolled his eyes, stood up and patted off the broken grass on his body.

The cold wind of early autumn blew past, and Bai Xiao sneezed. It was really cold.

Yang Dingchu stood up and took off his jacket, putting it on Bai Xiao's body.

Yang Dingchu was around 1.8 meters tall and Bai Xiao was over 1.6 meters. His long robe had turned into a long skirt that dragged across the ground when he wore it on her body.

"Thank you!" Bai Xiao was a little uncomfortable.

She, who had never been in a relationship before, kissed someone the moment she crossed the path. Even though she was from the enlightened modern world, she still felt embarrassed.

"Uh, I'll go back first." After saying that, she pulled Yang Dingchu's robes and ran towards her house.

Yang Dingchu saw that Bai Xiao was wearing his clothes and was running in the golden rice fields with her long hair flying behind her. She softly said, "You're not ugly."

A trace of change flashed through his heart, and he touched his lips, feeling the coldness of Bai Xiao's touch remaining on them.

Wearing a man's robe, Bai Xiao ran back from the bustling fields without any hesitation, and without exception, started to discuss with each other.

"Is there something wrong with this ugly woman's head?" In the past, he had been fond of stealing from chickens and dogs, but now, he knew the meaning of shame. How could he be so shameless after being fished out of the water? He kissed and hugged a man, but was still wearing the clothes of a man, how shameless. "

"That's right. She could never get married, and no one wants such a shameless slut right now."

"Who said no one wanted it?" "Didn't Old Master Liu want to marry her and make her his concubine?"

"Today, she jumped into the river in front of the Liu family to refuse this marriage. Do you think the Liu family would want someone like this to enter their house?"

Bai Xiao did not care about the gossip, she was in desperate need of clean clothes and did not have time to care about them.

Back at his home, he found a patched shirt and changed into it before pouring himself a cup of water. The moment he sat down, a small figure rushed in.

"Sis, Sis, are you alright?"

It was the original owner's twelve-year-old brother, Bai Yanqing, who was currently in the county city studying.

"Brother Qing?" You're not in school, why did you come back? "

"It's the autumn harvest now, the school is on holiday." Sis, they said you jumped into the river? "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Just as Bai Xiao finished speaking, noise started coming from outside the house.

Bai Yanqing wanted to go out and take a look, but he was stopped by Bai Xiao, "Don't go."

For some reason, she didn't want him to be involved in any of those things.

Bai Yanqing looked at his sister in confusion. Bai Xiao poured him a cup of water and said, "You came back from the county, you can take a break. There are so many adults in the family.

Bai Xiao moved closer to the gap between the doors and looked outside. There were four people standing in the courtyard.
