“Great! This is what Mrs. Geng just said.” Aunt Cui had achieved her goal and did not continue to exert force. She pointed at Xie Mengxuan and said, “Please!”

“Wait! It’s unknown whether I’ll return alive or dead. You at least give me some time to talk to my husband.” Xie Mengxuan cast a glance at her and continued, “Are the people in our village so ruthless that I cannot even have a chat with my husband before death?”

Aunt Cui turned her eyes and seemed to be observing her. She said after a while, “Okay! We will give you time. Tomorrow at this hour, we will come to you with the holy of the village.”

Xie Mengxuan nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

She promised, and without further ado, others left the house. There was only her and Geng Zhishan who remained in the house. Geng Zhishan brought her back into the room and said nothing for a long while.

The lowered eyelids covered the raging anger in his eyes.

“Just be frank if you have something to say since it’s uncomfortable and tiring to endure the silence and play the role.”

Hearing her words, Geng Zhishan suddenly returned from his ruminations and blinked with innocence. After a while, he suddenly hugged the waist of Xie Mengxuan.

Shocked, Xie Mengxuan was about to push him away, but his arms were so strong that she failed in her attempts.

“Let me go!”

Xie Mengxuan was filled with rage, and finally, Geng Zhishan reluctantly let her go. “Darling, do you know what the so-called ‘holy’ is? That is a pig cage! They are going to drown you in a freaking pig cage!”

“Well,” Xie Mengxuan nodded perfunctorily. “Geng Zhishan, are you worried about me?”

“Yes, you are my wife. Of course, I’m worried about you.” Geng Zhishan said earnestly.

“If so, the task of saving me will be handed over to you. If I am not alive tomorrow, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!” Xie Mengxuan said in a sinister voice.

Geng Zhishan really felt speechless inside. This girl was deliberately probing him.

If he could tell her the truth, he would have already said it. Why was this girl forcing him? He would not discard her life. However, if he were to save her, she would be exposed to the truth.

Xie Mengxuan curled her lips, “You can ponder on it. Bring my things from outside.”

He went to the yard to pick up the silver bracelet; he carefully wiped the dust off, and saw the pattern on the silver bracelet. He was shocked silly after carefully scrutinizing it. It turned out that it was not a simple bracelet at all!

The hand which gripped the silver bracelet was so tight that the white joints could be seen. After a long while, he was relieved and covered his face. He never noticed that Xie Mengxuan was staring at him straight through the window.

He took a few deep breaths and handed it to Xie Mengxuan who put it on her wrist. She held her chin in one hand and smiled lightly, “Have a think.”

He frowned and groaned. “I am going to fetch you something to eat.”

Then he turned and left. Looking at him, Xie Mengxuan sneered. “Whether you are a sheep in human skin or a wolf in sheepskin, I have to figure out your true intentions: an enemy or a friend?”

She didn’t have the habit of putting herself in danger.

Sitting in front of the fire stove and staring at the fire, Geng Zhishan could not find anything he could do. The people behind him could not be seen since she was able to distinguish their mark. If they were to appear, it was likely that the trace of them would be found by those people. At that time, he would have no way to protect Xie Mengxuan.

She had left him in a quandary.

He gave out a long sigh and handed the food to her. Looking at her smile, he couldn’t be mad at her even if he wanted.

In the evening, Xie Mengxuan fell into a deep sleep. Sitting on the bedside, Geng Zhishan gently patted her hand and whispered, “Don’t worry. I will protect you wherever we are.”

His firm words were too light to wake up Xie Mengxuan who tended to be in light sleep usually.

Geng Zhishan stood up. At this moment, he was full of confidence with bright and clear eyes. After coming to the place behind the house, he asked, “Is everything well arranged?”

“Yes!”

Someone responded in the dark. Geng Zhishan nodded and then went back to the room with poise. He continued to sleep on the ground.

Geng Zhishan was also full of doubts about this whole mess. Why did Aunt Cui find faults with Xie Mengxuan? Why? Did it have anything to do with the person who only appeared once?

Who is that man? What was behind the trial of the River God?

Geng Zhishan failed to sleep for the whole night. Instead of being worried about whether Xie Mengxuan would be saved, he was concerned about whether there would be any unforeseen changes. After all, the man who had appeared only once was really disturbing.

On the early morning of the second day, Xie Mengxuan woke up and dressed herself as usual. Her own clothes had already been torn, and she was wearing something that Geng Zhishan had bought for her.

She had to admit that each piece of cloth fit her very well. Looking at her outfit, Xie Mengxuan’s eyes subtly shined. She didn’t believe that someone could confirm the size of a person only with the eyes, not to mention that there had never been a woman who came to measure her over these days.

Xie Mengxuan finished wearing the clothes and sat on the bed. Looking at Geng Zhishan who was standing at the door with his back towards her, she smiled. “Geng Zhishan, come in. Let’s go to the bank of the river.”

Looking at the sky, Geng Zhishan found it was a good day.

Having heard the low calling from Xie Mengxuan inside the house, Geng Zhishan gave a response and changed to his simple look. He turned around to open the door.

“Darling, do you really want to go?”

Xie Mengxuan raised her eyebrows. “I never take back the words I have said before. Since I promised to accept the trial of their river god, then I will definitely go.”

“Darling, have you come up with a solution to get rid of the danger?” Geng Zhishan came close to her, full of worries in his eyes.

Looking at him, Xie Mengxuan was not sure whether the man was honest or not, but she was still full of confidence. “I never do things that I’m not sure about. Now I have to go to the river to have a look.”

“Okay.” With his head low, he gave out a sigh. Fortunately, he had ordered those people to deploy their forces the previous night.

Xie Mengxuan stretched out her hand to take the crutch and carefully propped herself up. Geng Zhishan showed his care. “Let me carry you.”

“Okay.” She was aware that it was not a good idea for her to persist, so she readily agreed.

Geng Zhishan steadily carried her on the back and went out slowly. They did not live close to the river, so they were going outside the village where the river was next to the big banyan tree.

When they reached the river, Xie Mengxuan patted Geng Zhishan and found that except for his breathing that was a little unstable, there were no other visible changes. Xie Mengxuan raised her eyebrows and wore a slight smile.
