Luo Yu, the chieftain's daughter, who had already returned to the ancient village, noticed that the old women were suddenly chanting the incantation for the drowning in the lake at a faster pace. She knew something had happened again, but she still couldn't believe it—
I don't believe that the girls of the Buyi tribe would do such a scandalous thing!
so---
She ran up to the altar, looked at the pale-faced Luo Yao with tears in her eyes, and asked in a choked voice:
"Sister, haven't you always taught us to be chaste and pure? Why did you do this? This is a serious taboo, and no one can forgive it!"
"Sister, do you not like Brother Alai?"
"If that's the case, you can break off your engagement with him first, and then find someone else."
“You are the beloved daughter of Luoyang Ancient Village in our Buyi tribe. Don’t you know that you cannot marry outside the village?”
Faced with her sister Luo Yu's heartbroken questioning, Luo Yao still didn't explain, only saying, "My sister is a stain on my reputation, so don't use her as a role model anymore!"
"Sister--"
“Ayu, you have a long road ahead of you, and your father is the village chief. You have many choices.”
Luo Yao's tone revealed endless sorrow and pity, as if---
She was mocking Luo Yu.
“Ayu, get down, don’t get near this dirty woman.”
Suddenly, an aunt from the ancient village called out from below.
Luo Yu bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, and turned to walk away.
Yes, they cannot marry outside the region, but this does not include ethnic minorities such as the Miao, Dong, and Shui.
Why did Sister Yao choose the Han family man?
Was what she said back then true? Did she have no feelings for Brother Alai?
Luo Yu, the Buyi girl, had heard about A Yao and A Lai from the adults.
Although marriage is a free choice for the Buyi people, a very small number of marriages are arranged directly by the parents of both parties.
And at this moment, in the canyon—
Having passed the most dangerous part and confirmed that there was no longer any danger like before, Ah Chen jumped onto Chief Wei's raft.
Chief Wei confirmed once again that the future Miao King of the Miao family had indeed come for Luo Yao's sake. After thinking it over, he decided to tell A Chen the whole story.
Ah Chen, upon learning the whole story, fell silent.
He didn't expect that the marriage between Luo Yao and A Lai was not voluntary, but rather arranged by Luo Yao's parents before their deaths.
Luo Yao is an orphan!
She was raised in Luoyang Ancient Village and was sent away to study because of her excellence in all aspects.
The village chief, Luo, hoped that she would return after completing her studies to change the impoverished state of the Buyi tribe, but who knew---
However, when Ah Chen heard the name "Ah Lai," some earth-shattering information from his previous life instantly flashed through his mind.
So he thought to himself that coming to Luoyang Ancient Village this time was definitely the right decision.
because--
If that Ah Lai is indeed the original owner of the earth-shattering information reported in the previous life, and if the information in this life is not confused, then I roughly know what happened.
However, he still asked, "Chief Wei, since Luo Yao had previously mentioned dissolving the engagement to Chief Luo, why is she still insisting on not backing down unless there are special reasons?"
“Ah Chen, this was arranged by their fathers, there’s no reason to back down.”
In his previous life, Alai's fiancée was indeed drowned in a lake because Han Chinese man ruined her reputation.
After that incident, Alai became depressed and never recovered! Until that other incident happened several years later---
At this moment, Ah Chen wondered if his intervention would change the original trajectory.
However, it seems that this doesn't have much impact on Luo Yao, since she is going to die.
So after thinking it over and over, Ah Chen said to Chief Wei, "Although this matter is an internal affair of Luoyang Ancient Village, in the end, it involves Han Jialang, who is my teacher's son."
"Is he the couple's son?"
"Yes! So, Chief Wei, do you think there are any other alternative solutions to this matter?"
"this--"
Chief Wei said that Chief Luo of Luoyang Ancient Village was his fellow apprentice who learned the craft from him, and he would ask him about it when he arrived.
Okay, thank you.
Afterwards, Ah Chen chatted with Chief Wei for a few minutes before returning to the raft where Ah Mo was.
Amo seemed to notice the change in Achen's expression just now, so she lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Amo--"
Ah Chen glanced back at Chief Wei on the raft behind them, then whispered to Ah Mo, "We might have some unexpected gains on this trip."
"An unexpected bonus?"
“Yes! If nothing goes wrong, we’ll have a great harvest!” Ah Chen whispered to Ah Mo as he approached her.
Upon hearing this, Amo, though unsure why Achen would say such a thing, did not ask for the reason. Instead, she said, "Why don't you stay out of Meng Yan and that girl's business? I'll take care of it."
“No, Mo, this matter is not Meng Yan’s or that Miss Luo’s fault. Having a fiancé and still messing around with other people is already outrageously wrong and disgraceful. I can’t let you handle it.”
"That--"
"It's alright, I'll take care of it!"
Afterwards, Achen jumped onto the raft where his teacher Mengci was and told him exactly what he had learned from Chief Wei.
The woman fainted on the spot, but fortunately, Siwei's sister caught her in time.
As for Teacher Mengci, although he managed to stay calm, he seemed to have aged considerably all of a sudden.
after all---
The punishment imposed on the Buyi tribe was too severe!
Moreover, it was vigilante justice!
"Ah Chen, how much longer until we get out of this canyon? Is it too late?" Meng Ci asked.
