In the mayor's house of Baihe Town, Hu Ling'er sat in the upper position. After the mayor had people serve good tea, he sent all the servants down.
When there were only two people left in the main hall, the mayor who was sitting in the main seat stood up and bowed to Hu Ling'er: "I would like to thank you, Master, for saving my little girl. If Master can really solve the problem of Baihe,
, our entire people in Baihe Town will be grateful to you."
Hu Ling'er took a slow sip of tea, then smiled narrowly at the mayor: "Why, you still don't believe that I am the River God?"
"Hey..." The mayor sighed deeply, with a look of pain on his face: "To be honest, although worshiping the river god is my tradition in Baihe Town, I don't believe in the theory of this river god.
"
The smile on Hu Ling'er's lips deepened, and she said with a cold look in her eyes: "Since you don't believe it, why did you sacrifice your daughter to the river god? Isn't this letting her die in vain?"
"As the mayor of Baihe Town, I had no choice but to do this." The mayor sighed again, "The Baihe River is polluted. People in Baihe Town are sick and dying. People are panicked and the scene is depressed.
As the mayor of the town, I had no choice but to follow the advice of the people and go to the Lingshan Mountain to see the immortal and ask him for a solution. The immortal said that the water in the Baihe River had deteriorated because the river god was angry, so he had to offer a young man.
On the 18th day of the lunar month, a woman born on a yang day in a yang year can avoid this disaster by becoming a bride. There are only two qualified people in Baihe Town, one of them is already married, and the remaining one is my Qin'er. Even if I have all kinds of things,
We are reluctant to give up, and we cannot ignore the lives of the people. Under heavy pressure, we can only make this difficult decision."
After listening to what the mayor said, Hu Linger could actually understand his situation. As the mayor, he really had no choice.
Even though she understood, she was still a little angry: "Maybe you are a qualified mayor, but you are not a qualified father and husband. If you can really exchange your daughter for the clean water of the White River, then that would be fair.
. But now you are going to sacrifice her just based on a so-called immortal’s words. It’s really inappropriate.”
"What the young master said is that I am ashamed of my daughter and wife." The mayor lowered his head in shame, paused and said: "Thanks to the young master's rescue, I did not let me commit an irreparable crime.
My mistake is that I don’t know if Young Master can really use my white river water..."
Having said this, the mayor did not say any more and just looked at Hu Ling'er with confusion.
At the previous sacrifice site, when Hu Ling'er said that she was the river god and wanted to make the water of the White River clear again, everyone was dumbfounded.
The mayor took the opportunity to invite her back to the mansion, firstly to leave some hope for his daughter, and secondly, seeing Hu Ling'er's determined expression, he felt that maybe she really had a solution.
Hu Ling'er touched her chin and thought for a while, then said slowly: "I haven't thought of the specific method yet. You can take me to the nearby area to have a look later."
Hearing what Hu Ling'er said, a trace of disappointment flashed in the mayor's eyes. He originally thought she had a solution, but he didn't know for sure at all.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only put all his hopes on her, because the news of the River God's visit has spread throughout Baihe Town. If she can't solve it, then he, the mayor, will have no choice but to leave.
It's his fault.
Moreover, this young man is a rare talent in terms of both appearance and temperament. The light of wisdom shines in his eyes, giving people a strong sense of trust.
Thinking of this, the mayor bowed once and said with great sincerity: "Sir, my daughter's life, as well as the lives of all the people in Baihe Town, are entrusted to you."
Hu Ling'er, wearing this tall hat, was a little creepy. She quickly waved her hands and said: "Mayor, if you say that, I will be very stressed. I can only say that I will do my best."
The mayor nodded and was about to say something more when suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a servant's voice: "Master, the lady is here."
The mayor glanced at Hu Ling'er, then said to the door: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a green figure stepped through the door and walked toward the two of them.
The person who came was none other than Qin'er, who had already changed her clothes.
She lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and walked straight in front of Hu Ling'er. Before she could react, she knelt down on the ground and said, "Qin'er thanks you, Master, for saving your life."
A light voice sounded, and Hu Ling'er realized it and quickly stood up to help her up: "Miss, get up quickly."
Standing up with Hu Ling'er's hand, Qin'er slowly raised her head.
When she was by the river before, she cried so hard that the makeup on her face was wiped away. But now she tidied up and put on some light makeup on her face. She was elegant and refined, with shyness in her eyes.
, adding a bit of tenderness to her.
Seeing Hu Ling'er staring straight at her, Qin'er's face turned red and she lowered her head again, but all the shyness in her eyes fell into Hu Ling'er's eyes.
"Ahem!" Hu Ling'er thought for a while, and almost reflexively withdrew the hand that was supporting her. She coughed slightly in embarrassment, then returned to her seat and picked up the tea on the table to drink.
There was something wrong with the way this young lady looked at her just now.
The mayor watched the interaction between the two, smiled and said: "I haven't asked the young master's name yet."
"Ah? Tang Ling, my name is Tang Ling." Hu Linger answered while drinking tea.
"Tang Ling?" The mayor murmured and repeated her name, and suddenly said: "Young Master is not very old. Since he is alone outside, he should have no family. If you can control the water of the White River,
Okay, I will marry my daughter to you. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Pfft!" As soon as the mayor's voice fell, Hu Ling'er, who was drinking tea, spit out the tea.
La la la la la, our Ling'er is getting married, are you all looking forward to it, hahaha. Speaking of which, it's been several days since we voted, but Yao'er still has zero votes. Dear friends, why don't you say so cruelly, Yao'er is fine.
