Old Liu knelt on the ground and pointed at Doctor Yang angrily.

"You, you, you teased my girl and now you deny her again."

"How is my virgin daughter going to get married in the future?"

He covered his chest with his hands, looking extremely distressed, and almost fainted.

Upon seeing this, the village chief hurriedly supported Old Liu, fearing that he would die without being able to catch his breath.

"Okay, let me be fair."

He had no choice but to come out and smooth things over, "There were so many people there last night. Since Young Master Yang said he hadn't made any promises, did he recognize the wrong person?"

"Girl, take a closer look. Is this the man you are looking for?"

Miss Liu stopped sobbing, raised her head and looked around carefully.

She lowered her head shyly, a blush flashing across her cheeks.

"It's this young master. I won't make a mistake."

"There is a character 'Yang' embroidered on the fan that the young master wears on his waist."

She pointed at the fan on Doctor Yang's waist.

【Master! Are you serious? 】

The first person to react was Xiao Ruyu. She rushed forward and stopped Doctor Yang from hiding the fan.

“Ahem…”

"Sir, this is not very kind of you. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

The village chief cleared his throat and patted his shoulder. "In that case, I will be a witness today. You and Miss Liu can get married on a certain day!"

"No!" Doctor Yang opened his mouth to refute, but his voice was drowned out by the booing.

"Yeah, yeah, we're getting married!"

Xiao Ruyu cheered and jumped for joy, not minding the big deal of watching the fun.

Miss Liu was helped up, glanced shyly at Doctor Yang, and left with Old Doctor Liu.

Just as she was making a fuss, Doctor Yang glared at her and Xiao Ruyu immediately shut up.

The village chief sat down beside Doctor Yang, his palms resting on his thighs, his expression gentle.

"In that case, Mr. Yang, please don't refuse."

"Miss Liu is a good girl, she manages the household well, and she is gentle and generous."

"I think tomorrow is a good day, so let's just settle it."

Without waiting for Doctor Yang to refuse, he immediately set the wedding date for tomorrow.

Doctor Yang, who had suffered a loss in silence, sulked after returning to his room.

【Master, Master, please don’t be angry. 】

[I think Miss Liu is a good person. Master, you have been single for so many years.]

Xiao Ruyu patted his shoulder in a flattering manner, blinking his eyes.

"How dare you say that, little princess? No matter how good Miss Liu is, Master cannot marry her!"

He turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to Xiao Ruyu.

Seeing that Doctor Yang was really angry, Eleven pulled Xiao Ruyu out with a look of understanding.

"Master needs some quiet time now, let's not create more trouble here."

…

At night, the two little kids gathered in the house, gossiping about tomorrow's wedding.

[Do you think Master will marry Miss Liu? ]

Xiao Ruyu took out a dried sweet potato from his arms and put it in his mouth, chewing it.

Eleven shook his head gently. "It's hard to say. Based on Eleven's understanding of Doctor Yang, it's really hard to say."

While the two were gossiping, the door was gently pushed open a crack.

“Who is it?!”

Eleven quickly protected Xiao Ruyu behind him and stared at the door vigilantly.

"Pack your things and follow the master."

A familiar voice sounded at the door.

【Master?】

Xiao Ruyu stuck her head out and saw Doctor Yang carrying the luggage on his back stealthily like a thief.

[Aren't you going to get married tomorrow? Why are you running away today? 】

"What kind of marriage? Come with Master."

He went into the house, packed their luggage, and without saying a word, took Xiao Ruyu and left.

In the silent night, there were only trivial noises in the forest, mixed with the howling of wild beasts.

Doctor Yang's breathing was very obvious in the night. He walked hurriedly, not wanting to delay for a moment.

The courtyard where they lived was quite remote, and no one noticed them until they left the village.

After climbing up the high slope and looking at the village below, Doctor Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He frowned and looked down at Xiao Ruyu who remained silent, and all the anger he had accumulated during the day came out at once.

"How could you, you, cheat the master?"

"Getting married is such a big deal, how can you treat it as a joke?!"

"Besides, Master can't just marry anyone casually!"

Imperial Doctor Yang scolded Xiao Ruyu loudly, and her little face drooped little by little wherever his eyes fell.

He took a breath and paused, "We have to leave here before dawn."

Xiao Ruyu, who had not spoken for a long time, raised his head stubbornly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

【Master, how could you do this? 】

[Although Miss Liu is not outstanding in appearance, Master is not the kind of person who judges people by appearance.]

[Moreover, if the master had not promised me that day, how would I know what was embroidered on the master's fan? ]

She put her hands on her hips and began to blame Doctor Yang.

[Master just walked away, so how will Miss Liu step down tomorrow? This will hurt her feelings.]

After these words, it was Doctor Yang's turn to fall silent. He recalled the events of that day carefully.

But I just couldn't remember whether he had said those words or not.

"Forget it, Master has failed here."

He waved his hands in annoyance, but felt that what Xiao Ruyu said made sense.

In a folk marriage, if the groom runs away from the marriage, the bride will probably be criticized for the rest of her life.

"Master will take you back and apologize to Miss Liu. It will be fine if she is willing to forgive Master."

"Unwilling to forgive," Doctor Yang sighed.

"I'll apologize later."

[I knew that Master is not such an irresponsible person! ]

Xiao Ruyu's previous low mood disappeared immediately and she threw herself into his arms.

After a while of running around, they returned to the village before dawn.

The roosters have already started crowing, and the first rays of dawn are shining into the village.

Doctor Yang rubbed his sore knee and took the two of them to go to Old Liu's home.

Liu's home was not far to the left of the entrance to the village. When they entered the yard, several people noticed something was wrong.

[It's not time to go up the mountain to chop wood yet, why is this door open? ]

Xiao Ruyu walked around the yard in confusion and found that there was no one in the house.

"Strange, he should be at home at this hour."

Eleven was also puzzled. After exchanging glances with Doctor Yang, they quickly went to several other hospitals to check.

After a while, the two came back and shook their heads at each other.

"Is there really no one here? What's going on?"

Doctor Yang wrapped himself up in clothes. The temperature in the early morning was still a little low, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He picked up Xiao Ruyu, his face tense, "Did something happen in the village?"

Xiao Ruyu also realized something was wrong and nervously put her little hands around his neck.

【Let’s look for it in the village first. 】

After they walked for a while, they heard some movement in front of them.

Doctor Yang was extremely surprised. Just as he was about to step forward, he found that something was wrong with the situation before him.

In the square of the village, an altar was built in the center, with blazing fires burning around it.

What is this doing?
