Du Xiaojuan's filial piety and virtue in the village were well-known. Cheng Xiaofan had heard his mother praise her many times, saying how good she was.
In fact, Du Xiaojuan's husband, Zhao Cheng, was also a good friend of Cheng Xiaofan when he was alive, but he passed away too soon.
The world is both fair and cruel to everyone. In these calm, flowing days, some people stayed, and some left.
Zhao Cheng was thin and small. When he was in elementary school, he was often bullied until he cried. Every time, it was Cheng Xiaofan who stepped in and beat up the little thugs among those students until they were bruised and swollen.
Of course, Zhao Cheng was also good to Cheng Xiaofan. He would often steal two or three eggs from home and give them to Cheng Xiaofan to cook and eat outdoors.
The past flashed before his eyes, but childhood would never return.
Cheng Xiaofan took a deep breath and said to himself, "Zhao Cheng, even though you are gone, you have a good wife!"
As long as I am here, I will never let anyone bully your wife.
"Sister Guihua, Du Xiaojuan being forcibly married to a fool is illegal. You can report it to the police immediately!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
Tang Guihua quickly replied, "Xiaofan, I was slapped by that fool's brother precisely because I was about to report it. Even Du Xiaojuan's mother is shouting that if I ruin her son's marriage, she will hang herself at my door!"
"Hearing her rant like that, how dare I call the police? If someone actually dies, it will not only be my fault but also make things difficult for Du Xiaojuan in the future!"
Cheng Xiaofan felt that what Tang Guihua said made sense. Some things in the village couldn't be solved just by calling the police.
Especially in some rural families, they still held old-fashioned notions: "Of the three ways to be unfilial, having no offspring is the greatest." If someone broke up a marriage, the other party would indeed fight you to the death.
Then Tang Guihua said, "Xiaofan, hurry up and come over. The wedding party is setting off firecrackers. In a while, the wedding party will carry Du Xiaojuan away!"
"Sister Guihua, don't worry, I'll be right there!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
After hanging up the phone, he explained the matter one by one to Bai Yiling.
Bai Yiling listened and said, "What era is this? Such a thing is still happening?"
Cheng Xiaofan gave a wry smile, "The world is full of wonders. Things like this happening in the countryside are not uncommon!"
Bai Yiling smiled slightly and thought to herself, no matter how strange things are, they are not as strange as what you, Cheng Xiaofan, do.
Some things, which originally could only appear in legendary myths, are happening one after another in your real life.
"Xiaofan, then hurry up and go!"
Bai Yiling also began to urge him, "If you go late, I'm afraid Du Xiaojuan will be taken away by the fool's family. It will be more troublesome to ask for her back then!"
Du Xiaojuan worked in Miao Xiuhua's winery, and Bai Yiling was familiar with her.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "With Sky-Breaking Eagle by my side, I won't be late!"
"Screech—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sky-Breaking Eagle landed at his feet.
Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling sat on Sky-Breaking Eagle, one after the other.
"Naughty Bao, you and the goslings go back to the back mountain. Don't follow us!" He was worried that Naughty Bao would cause trouble if it followed.
If someone were to run into it, they would be seriously injured, if not killed.
This dog was familiar with almost everyone in the village. If it saw a beautiful village girl being bullied by an outsider, with its temper, it would definitely not let them go.
"Woof woof!"
Fortunately, Naughty Bao had good self-discipline.
After hearing its owner's words, although it barked displeasedly twice, it did not delay. It rode on a white swan and led the other geese into the sky.
"Screech—"
After Naughty Bao and the ten goslings left, Sky-Breaking Eagle let out a sharp cry and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction Cheng Xiaofan specified like lightning.
The village where Du Xiaojuan was located was called Shawan Village, which was only about ten li away from Zhuxi Village.
With Sky-Breaking Eagle's speed, it would only take two or three minutes to fly from White Python Lake to there.
If it were usual times, Sky-Breaking Eagle would never fly at such speed. After all, one could enjoy the scenery along the way from the back mountain to White Python Lake.
Especially when carrying Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling, it had to create some romantic space for the young couple!
Now, Cheng Xiaofan was in a hurry to save someone, so Sky-Breaking Eagle naturally did not dare to slack off.
Due to the high speed of flight, people on the ground could not possibly notice that an eagle was carrying a pair of men and women in the sky above.
In the blink of an eye!
Sky-Breaking Eagle had already arrived above Shawan Village.
Looking down from above, Cheng Xiaofan scanned a house. Lights and decorations were hung, people were coming and going, and a grand sedan chair was parked nearby.
This must be Du Xiaojuan's maternal home.
Cheng Xiaofan was about to call Tang Guihua, but as his eyes swept, he noticed her standing behind a large tree in front of Du Xiaojuan's maternal home.
She was standing on tiptoe, looking towards the village entrance from time to time.
He could tell that Tang Guihua was eagerly waiting for his arrival.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately had Sky-Breaking Eagle land in a secluded place, and holding Bai Yiling's hand, he leaped off its back.
Because Bai Yiling often drank Energy Water, coupled with the enhancement from Happy Wine, her movements became exceptionally agile, and she exuded an extremely rare spiritual energy.
However, this spiritual energy could only be seen by Cheng Xiaofan; ordinary people could not see it at all.
"Xiaofan, you're here?"
Tang Guihua saw Cheng Xiaofan from afar and happily walked up to him. Then she greeted Bai Yiling, "President Bai, I didn't expect you to come too!"
Bai Yiling nodded and smiled, "Xiaofan and I were just at White Python Lake. He received your call, and we rushed over immediately!"
"It's good that you came quickly. The Du family is about to send off the bride!" Tang Guihua knew that Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling had flown over on Sky-Breaking Eagle.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have arrived so quickly.
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Has that fool come yet?"
Tang Guihua said, "No, his older brother is representing him to welcome the bride."
"This fool's older brother is named Guo Huaisheng. He's a small contractor and has made some money in the past two years. Coupled with a few younger brothers, he's arrogant and no one dares to provoke him."
"It is said that it was this Guo Huaisheng who first fancied Du Xiaojuan and then came to propose to his fool brother."
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "It seems that this Guo is not sincere about marrying the fool. He is ostensibly marrying for his fool brother, but secretly he wants to take Du Xiaojuan for himself!"
Tang Guihua sighed, "It's not just you who thinks this way. The people in Shawan Village are also discussing this behind your back. If Du Xiaojuan goes to the Guo family, it will truly be like jumping into a fiery pit!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's eyes turned cold and he said, "Sister Guihua, don't worry. Since I'm here, I will definitely find a way to rescue Du Xiaojuan."
He then instructed Bai Yiling, "Yiling, stay with Sister Guihua. I'll go meet that Guo!"
