Chu Shaobai's handsome face blushed slightly, and suddenly he frowned and looked down the river bank.
"What happened there?"
Shen Ning also heard the strange movement coming from under the bridge, lying on the stone bridge and looking down.
The warm and romantic scene of lighting river lanterns just now was gone. The girls on the shore were panicked and became a mess, hiding behind their families.
A dozen tall men crowded into the crowd, their eyes glowing green like wolves. When they saw a young girl, they stepped forward to grab her and look at her carefully.
If they were attractive, they would be tied up and thrown into a carriage aside.
All the girls who were caught on the carriage were tied into rice dumplings and their mouths were blocked so that they could not cry even if they wanted to.
"Let my daughter go!"
"Who are you? How dare you rob a girl in public!"
"This is the foot of the Emperor. Do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"
The people and the girls' families were extremely angry and rushed out to rescue the kidnapped girls.
Who would have thought that these dozen or so big men were extremely tough. They had one bare right arm, muscles tangled, and palms like cattail fans. At first glance, they were Lian Jiazi.
A big man grabbed the people who rushed forward and held them high in the air like a chicken. Suddenly he let go and threw the people far away.
The onlookers shouted in unison, and saw the common man falling high from the air, and then fell into the river with a "plop".
"Help! Help!" The man emerged from the river and sank again.
There was only a continuous sound of "plop, plop", and in the blink of an eye, several more people were thrown into the river by the big men.
When everyone saw this scene, they rushed forward one after another, but they didn't know that these big men didn't know their origins. Not only did they have an arrogant attitude, but they also had really good kung fu.
The common people were no match for them. Suddenly, the water splashed like dumplings, and one after another common people were thrown into the water.
"These people are so brave! They dare to rob a young girl and are so arrogant and domineering! Ning'er, don't move here, I'll teach them a lesson!"
When Chu Shaobai saw this scene, he couldn't bear it.
Pointing his toes, he leapt down from the bridge.
A big man dragged a girl out from the crowd. The girl struggled desperately, her face turned pale with fear, and she screamed for help.
However, when the common people saw that the dozen or so big men were so fierce, they caught them and threw them around. Those who were lucky were thrown into the river, and they did not drown for a while. Those who were unlucky were thrown onto the rocks on the bank of the river and were hit hard. His head was broken and bleeding, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Everyone was shocked, and for a moment no one dared to step forward to save the girl.
"Let the girl go!"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice sounded in the air, followed by the sound of wind in clothes.
Everyone's eyes blurred when they saw a misty figure in white flying in the sky, like a god descending to earth.
Chu Shaobai was in mid-air, stretched out his right arm, and grabbed the man's right wrist. There was a "click" sound, and the big man let out a scream like a slaughtering pig, and his wrist was struck by Chu Shaobai. Choked.
The girl escaped from the clutches of the big man and stood there in a daze, her watery eyes wide open as she looked at the young man in white who fell from the sky.
Shen Ning suddenly found that this girl looked familiar. Her face was slightly round, and she had an aura of spiritual wisdom. She was actually the Liu Wanting she had seen.
