Chapter 1495: Feeling Touched
The villagers who came to the banquet all looked toward the door when they heard the words ‘no paying of respects’.
A tall man in black clothes walked in through the door. He was wearing half a mask and exuded a cold aura.He was holding a sharp axe as he walked in from the door, like a killer without any temperature or emotion.
Some villagers were frightened and hid in the corners, afraid of being injured by his axe.
The fool beside Gu Meng hid in the village head’s wife’s arms in fear when he saw the menacing man.
The village head stood up from his chair angrily. “Who are you to dare to ruin my son’s wedding?”The man ignored the village head and walked towards the stunned Gu Meng with pursed lips.
“You want to marry him?” He looked at her sharply with his dark eyes, the hand holding the axe clenched into a fist, the vein on the back of his hand twitching.
Gu Meng looked up, her eyes slightly raised. “What does it have to do with you?”
“If you really want to get married, just pretend I didn’t come.” He turned to leave.Gu Meng stared at his back. “I went to look for you a month ago. You drank too much and that girl…”
Before she could finish, he interrupted her. “I didn’t touch her.”
She did not know why, but hearing him say this, she somehow believed his words even if it was not verified.
He did not touch that promiscuous girl.
She could not help but smile brightly. “You’re not lying to me?”
“Do you care that much?” He turned back and narrowed his eyes at her.Gu Meng looked up and snorted. “I don’t care!”
His hand that was not holding the axe reached out toward her. “Are you leaving or not?”
Gu Meng looked at his hand. It was slender, thin, clean and well-defined.
It was a beautiful pair of hands that could move people.
Her smile widened.
She placed her delicate hand in his large palm. However, before she could touch his fingertips, a dagger fell from her sleeve.
She was too happy just now and forgot about the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
She hurriedly bent down to pick up the dagger and turned back to look at the stunned village head. “I planned to use it on your silly son when we consummated our marriage.”The village head’s expression changed and he pointed at Gu Meng with trembling fingers. “You, you, you…”
Gu Meng did not seem to see the angry expression of the village head and passed her hand to the man beside her. “Run!”
The moment she finished speaking, her hand was wrapped in the man’s dry and warm palm.
The two of them ran out of the hall and the village head immediately sent people to chase after them.
He brought her to the house he used to live in.
When he entered the house, he found that the tattered areas around had been repaired and the room was clean. He looked at her with his dark eyes. “You took care of it?”
Gu Meng was still slightly out of breath. She took her hand back from his large palm and bent down to catch her breath. She nodded with her face red. “My relationship with my mother is not good. Sometimes, when we quarrel, I stay here.”
He looked at her, his lips pursed tightly in silence.
Gu Meng looked up at him. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
He pointed at her chest. “Get dressed first.”
Gu Meng looked down and found that several buttons of her shirt were unbuttoned, revealing her red undergarment.
Her face heated up and she hurriedly buttoned her shirt, explaining awkwardly, “All the brides in our village have to wear this…” She looked up at him, her hand reaching towards his face.” Why are you wearing a mask? ”
“Stealing the bride.”Gu Meng laughed at his words and took off his mask.
Her bright eyes met his deep ones and her heart thumped. Without saying anything, she jumped into his arms.
He was about to push her away when she hugged him even tighter. She rubbed her face against his chest, her voice muffled. “When you appeared, I felt like you were a hero that came on a rainbow. Don’t worry, I will protect you in the future!”
Raising her head from his chest, she patted his arm with her small hand and said brightly, “We’re brothers from now on!”
The man’s expression darkened when he heard her words. He pushed her away and walked toward the door.
Gu Meng stared at his cold back, not knowing what had made him unhappy.
…
Soon, the village head and the villagers chased after them.
The moment Ah Dai went out, an egg hit his forehead.
“So it’s a big monster!”
“I knew it! Nothing good has happened ever since he came to our fishing village!”
“Big monster, get out of our fishing village!”“Hit him!”
The villagers were furious.
Hearing the noise, Gu Meng went to the window and saw Ah Dai being attacked by the villagers.
Ah Dai did not want to hit the villagers, so he let them hit him. Gu Meng’s face darkened and she ran out angrily. She stood in front of Ah Dai and glared at the barbaric villagers with her almond-shaped eyes. “Why did you hit him? The village head has the money for our family’s fishing boat. My father is sick and needs money in the hospital. He’s despicable and shameless to threaten our family. Even if Brother Ah Dai isn’t here today, I won’t bow down to a fool!”
“If you’re so indignant, why don’t you marry your own daughter to the village head’s house? What right do ignorant people like you have to lecture the person under Gu Meng’s protection!”
“Mengmeng, you’re defending an outsider? When your mother comes later, she’ll beat you to death!” The village head glared at Gu Meng angrily.
“Village Chief, if you make Brother Ah Dai and me angry, we’ll sue you in town!”
The village head pointed a trembling finger at Gu Meng’s nose. “Y-Y-You… Have you eaten the courage of bears and panthers?”
“Even a rabbit will bite when cornered!”
The village head thought that the mayor and the Jiang family were doomed. If Gu Meng really reported him, he would definitely be investigated.Glaring at Gu Meng with a dark expression and the man she was protecting behind her, he gritted her teeth. “You’re ruthless! Meng, you grew up in a fishing village. I didn’t expect you to be a traitor! Since you’re from the fishing village, I advise you to send this big monster away. Our fishing village doesn’t welcome outsiders!”
After the group left, Gu Meng looked back and saw the blood and dirt on the man’s forehead. She was furious.
The man picked up the luggage he had left in the courtyard before the wedding and prepared to leave.
Seeing his actions, Gu Meng’s heart tightened and she started to panic.
There was a strong urge in her heart. She could not let him go!
Even if everyone in the fishing village disliked him, he still had her.
Besides, there was no place for him in town anymore. If he left here, where could he go?
Before Gu Meng could say anything, a roar came from the yard. “You brat, you dared to run away from the marriage? I’ll kill you!”
Gu Meng stared at Mrs Gu, who was rushing over with a stick in her hand, her facial features furrowed tightly.
