When Jiang Tiantian walked to the entrance of the village, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
She looked back curiously and saw a group of about seven or eight people riding horses towards her.
The leader was a girl about twenty years old, tall and fit, with big eyes, a round face, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, thick braids, and a face that exuded a confident and flamboyant demeanor.
When she rode past Jiang Tiantian on her horse, she turned her head and stared at Jiang Tiantian in surprise for a few seconds. Then, she raised her hand, waved the whip, and rode away without looking back.
Several energetic young men followed behind her. Each of them had handsome features, long flying hair and a muscular body. They shouted at her, laughed and rode away.
Jiang Tiantian looked at the receding horse team with envy. This kind of primitive, wild and unbridled unbridledness was what she envied but could never obtain in her previous life.
I don’t know if that girl is from the village. If not, you can try to invite them to shoot a video of horse racing on the grassland. It should be very interesting.
Jiang Tiantian walked back while thinking in her mind.
As she passed by several villagers' homes along the way, several aunties stood at the gate of their yards looking at her, with an expression as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.
Jiang Tiantian didn't understand what was going on, and guessed that maybe what happened in the morning had spread in the village.
But seeing that there was no mockery on their faces, Jiang Tiantian smiled at them in a friendly manner, did not stay for long, and walked forward silently.
Until Cha Jiuzhang's cousin's wife couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward and grabbed her and pulled her into her own yard.
"Jiang sister, would you like to come to my house and sit for a while?"
"Ah?" Jiang Tiantian looked confused.
The cousin's wife looked at the girl who looked clueless and smiled unnaturally:
"I'm Jiuzhang's cousin. Do you want to come to my house to get to know me? Come over and play when you have nothing to do."
Seeing this, the aunt next door also nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Jiuzhang's wife, you should go into the house and sit with your cousin's wife, and go back later."
"Ah, why?"
Jiang Tiantian glanced at the strange expressions of the two people and felt that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and asked directly, "What happened?"
Seeing that the girl was standing still and could not move, the cousin's wife had no choice but to ask her, "Did you see the group of people who just rode past?"
"Yes, I saw it at the entrance of the village."
"That is,"
My cousin's wife hesitated for a long time, then just blurted it out.
"The girl in the lead is called Ayiduo. She is from the headman's family in Suoyang Village on the other side of the mountain. Three years ago, she accidentally saw Jiuzhang at a gathering and fell in love with him at first sight. She immediately vowed that she would marry no one else but him."
"After that, they came to our village every now and then to snatch the bride."
As the cousin's wife spoke, she looked at Jiang Tiantian's gradually widening eyes and said, "But don't worry, she never succeeded. She was driven back by Jiuzhang every time."
The cousin's wife looked at Jiang Tiantian's fair, tender and delicate appearance, and couldn't imagine what would happen if she faced the female bandit directly.
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. "They are here again today, so why don't you come in with me and sit for a while, and then go back after Jiu Zhang drives them away?"
Jiang Tiantian came back to her senses and asked again with a strange expression, "Kidnap the bride?"
The cousin's wife replied with a headache, "Yes, it's just to rob the bride."
Jiang Tiantian asked doubtfully, "Doesn't she know that Cha Jiuzhang has been engaged since childhood?"
The aunt next door replied with a sigh, "That's right, Jiuzhang told her a long time ago, but the villages over there have always had the custom of kidnapping brides, and Jiuzhang hadn't gotten married before, so she wouldn't believe it even if I told her."
Jiang Tiantian rolled up her sleeves, looking fierce.
"This is outrageous. Jiuzhang is my man now. How can I let her get involved?"
But the voice that came out of it was soft and lacked any momentum.
"Don't worry, I'll go meet her right away."
Jiang Tiantian ran home indignantly, but in fact she was gossiping with Xiao Qi in her mind, "Oh, a bride kidnapping, how strange, I've never seen it before."
"Xiao Qi, do you have any filming equipment like a drone? Arrange it quickly."
Hehehe, isn’t this ready-made material?
Xiao Qi quietly released a mini drone with high-definition filming equipment and flew directly to the scene of the bride-grabbing.
My cousin's wife and the aunt next door were both speechless. Hey, girl, have you misjudged your own strength?
The female bandit from the next village is not a good person. Jiuzhang is always troubled by her. He wants to avoid her every time he sees her.
Aren't you asking for trouble by rushing forward?
The two women quickly followed.
From a distance, Jiang Tiantian saw Cha Jiuzhang standing outside his yard, and Ayido and a few other guys were circling around him on horseback.
The place was extremely lively with shouts and the sound of horse hooves everywhere.
Ayiduo shouted at Cha Jiuzhang, "Cha Jiuzhang, will you come with me today?"
"This is the eleventh time I have asked you this. If you don't give me a positive answer today, I will have my brothers tie you up and take you back."
"Yohoho~"
"Tie him back!"
"Tie him back!"
“…”
The other guys followed suit and cheered.
"Ayiduo, I told you, we are not suitable, and I will not go back with you." Cha Jiuzhang refused righteously.
The tall, strong young man who was closest to Ayiduo glared at Cha Jiuzhang with jealousy and swung the whip in his hand directly at his face.
"Cha Jiuzhang, it's your blessing that Ayiduo likes you, so you shouldn't refuse my toast and drink the wine instead."
Cha Jiuzhang stretched out his hand and grabbed the whip tail.
"Acuo, I told Ayiduo very clearly from the beginning that it's impossible for me to be with her. I already have a fiancée."
"If you like her, just go after her boldly, and don't take your anger out on me."
"You~" Ah Cuo was so angry that he pulled the whip back and shouted at Cha Jiuzhang:
"Cha Jiuzhang, I want to duel with you."
"If you lose, you will follow us obediently today. If you win, we will never come again."
"Well, do you dare?"
Cha Jiuzhang narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Acuo. This guy had found opportunities to harm him several times before. If he could get rid of it all at once today, that would of course be the best.
He did not respond, but looked at Aida first.
"Ayiduo, what do you think?"
"Do you acknowledge the bet that Ah Cuo made?"
Acuo also looked at Ayiduo, with a determination to go all out in his eyes.
Aido rode on the horse, looking down at Cha Jiuzhang, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
"Cha Jiuzhang, what's wrong with me that you just can't appreciate me?"
Cha Jiuzhang sighed and tried to persuade him again:
"Ayiduo, you are a very good girl, but it is impossible for us to be together. I made it clear from the beginning that I have a fiancée."
Ayiduo didn't believe it. "You are lying. If you have a fiancée, why haven't I seen her in three years? And you are 24 years old, why haven't you gotten married yet?"
Cha Jiuzhang glanced at Jiang Tiantian's dodging figure in the distance, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "She is still young, I have been waiting for her to grow up."
For the first time, Ayido saw a sweet expression on Cha Jiuzhang's face, and her heart suffocated. It was an expression that had never appeared on his face before when he looked at her.
She looked at Acuo, "Acuo, can I trust you? Will you do your best for me?"
A trace of hurt flashed in Acuo's eyes, "Ayiduo, what kind of person am I, Acuo? How have I treated you since you were a child? Don't you know it?"
Aido closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a sense of determination flashed through her heart.
She raised her eyes to look at Cha Jiuzhang, "Okay, I agree."
