For the people in this town called Yutang, He Bo is the water god in charge of the Yellow River and cannot be offended.
Therefore, in order to ensure a good harvest for the farmer, every ten years, the town will select a young girl selected by Hebo, put her on a bamboo raft, and float away along the boundless river. Sent off to Hebo as a bride.
But in fact, the girls who have been selected over the years either starved to death on the bamboo raft without seeing the end of the river, or were swept into the water by the river and drowned.
But this time He Bo's marriage is different.
According to the original plot, this Hebo is real, and it is also true that he told the mayor in his dream that he is going to get married.
It's just that the original owner who was chosen by He Bo was not stupid. She clearly remembered that when He Bo got married ten years ago, the chosen bride sank into the water and drowned not long after she floated out.
Although the adults said that she was taken away by He Bo, the original owner knew very well that she was drowned.
So Tang Wan was very unhappy when she was chosen as the bride of Hebo.
But she knew very well that the orders of the mayor and her father could not be disobeyed.
So in order to escape this catastrophe, the original owner set his mind on the orphan girl next door, Yuexiang.
Because Yuexiang is somewhat similar to her, no one will know if the person sent out is her or not if she puts on heavy makeup and covers her head.
Yuexiang is also a simple and kind girl.
She has been taken care of by the Tang family since she was a child, and the original owner once took care of and supported her as a good sister, so when the original owner pleaded hard, Yuexiang's heart softened.
In the end, she agreed to replace the original owner as He Bo's bride.
Tang Wan, after delivering Yuexiang to the bamboo raft, smeared mud on her face and left the town pretending to be fleeing famine.
…
However, no one expected that on the day Yuexiang was sent to the river as a bride, there happened to be more than a dozen official ships on the Yellow River that had just handed over the Japanese pirates from the border.
And because Yuexiang was wearing a wedding gown, she looked very conspicuous, so she was soon discovered by the governor of the navy who was in charge of the bandit suppression, that is, the hero of this world, Feng Lun.
Feng Lun ordered someone to rescue Yuexiang, and after some questioning, he found out that she was placed on the Yellow River as Hebo's bride.
For a moment, Feng Lun couldn't help being furious.
Offering sacrifices to the God of the River has been banned by the imperial court long ago, but it is unexpected that there are still villages and towns who believe in this and do such a reckless act of disregarding human life!
After landing, Feng Lun immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Seeing this, Yuexiang was afraid that Tang Wan would be involved, and hurriedly begged Feng Lun not to let others know that she and Tang Wan had swapped.
Seeing that she was still looking after Tang Wan at this time, Feng Lun was moved by her innocence and kindness, and Yuexiang was also quite beautiful, so he listened to her words and did not pursue Tang Wan's responsibility, but punished her. After meeting the mayor and others, he prepared to marry Yuexiang.
However, the moment Yuexiang got on the bamboo raft, the marriage contract between her and He Bo had already come to an end.
So on the night of their marriage, Hebo Bingtong came to snatch her.
Feng Lun was not afraid, and in addition, he had been fighting enemies for many years, his archery skills were superb, and the bow and arrow in his hand was a famous bow bestowed by the emperor, so when the Hebo Bingtong appeared, Feng Lun drew the bow and stringed it. Directly shot and killed He Bo Bingtong who came over to act as a demon with one arrow!
…
After shooting and killing He Bo Bingtong, Feng Lun became famous for a while, and the marriage of the two was also spread by word of mouth, spreading to thousands of households in a legendary way.
The original owner who managed to escape from Yutang Town also heard about it at this time.
