Regarding the area closest to the riverbank, as long as no one specially dug it deep in order to wash things or anchor one\u2019s boat, this area was usually very shallow. It could be said that the river in Hexi was about two meters deep in the middle, but the areas on both sides of the river were very shallow and the possibility of drowning was very limited.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Now He Qiusheng was standing more than one meter in the river, and the water only reached to his waist. He Qiusheng was a bit shocked at this moment. He had just made up his mind to die, but in the blink of an eye, Liu Heitou, who he thought was very powerful, was knocked to the ground . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cElder Brother, what are you doing?\u201d Liu Heitou hated Jiang Zhen very much at this moment, but he had already lost, so he could only grind his teeth and ask.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Jiang Zhen from Hexi Village!\u201d Jiang Zhen said while stepping on Liu Heitou\u2019s chest a few more times with his feet. \u201cIf you had used your crooked brain, you wouldn\u2019t have come to provoke me. I don\u2019t care about you. If you had used your crooked brain . . . you would have known not to provoke me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Hearing Jiang Zhen’s words, Liu Heitou froze. The ordinary villagers around could not see it, but when he was fighting Jiang Zhen just now, he could feel that this man had a more ruthless character than he had. If not, how could this man be so familiar with his ways? Moreover, this Jiang Zhen had definitely killed people and seen blood . . . Liu Heitou hated Jiang Zhen very much, but he wasn\u2019t completely sure about the situation, and he really didn\u2019t dare to offend such a person.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Despite the fact that he didn\u2019t take other people\u2019s lives seriously, not even that of the concubines he had taken, he still cared about his wife, children, parents and brothers. Therefore he was afraid of offending ruthless people from outside his village that could bring harm to his family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cJiang Zhen, right? I\u2019ll remember it this time!\u201d Liu Heitou said with a black face. \u201cYou let me go! I won\u2019t try to catch this ger anymore!\u201d He firmly believed that Jiang Zhen wouldn\u2019t dare to kill him in public, and Jiang Zhen really didn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Jiang Zhen let Liu Heitou go, and when Liu Heitou\u2019s brothers saw this, they immediately helped him stand up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cIf you want this ger, I\u2019ll give him to you. I have others, no worse than this one, but I will still ask you to repay the debt when I come back!\u201d Liu Heitou dropped these words, turned around, and left.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Jiang Zhen didn\u2019t stop him. Father He really owed Liu Heitou a debt. Naturally, he had to pay his debt, and he did not care about that. Of course, the most important thing was . . . that he was about to get married, and for the time being, he didn\u2019t want to offend the large number of people from the Liu family and get in trouble. But later . . . he’d better get rid of this Liu Heitou, or he would be uneasy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Jiang Zhen put away his bamboo pole and was about to go back to picking up his goods when he saw Zhao Jinge approaching and a smile appeared on his face. He hadn\u2019t seen Zhao Jinge for more than half a month. He really missed him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Jiang Zhen was happy, but Zhao Jinge was full of anxiety at this moment. He came relatively late. When he just arrived, Jiang Zhen had already released Liu Heitou, and he heard Liu Heitou\u2019s parting words. Looking at Liu Heitou and the others\u2019 appearance, and then at the poor He Qiusheng, who was still standing in the river, Zhao Jinge pulled at his clothes and felt uneasy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n As soon as he heard the news of Jiang Zhen coming back, he ran over and forgot to take care of his own appearance. Now, he was not only wearing the rags he usually wore to work, but he also smelled of sweat. Compared to He Qiusheng, he was really nothing to look at, ugly and smelly. No, not only that, there were also ash stains on his hands . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zhao Jinge felt extremely embarrassed and scared. He knew about this family\u2019s problem. Now that Jiang Zhen saved He Qiusheng from Liu Heitou, was He Qiusheng to become Jiang Zhen\u2019s? Zhao Jinge couldn\u2019t help thinking like this, and so did the other people in Hexi . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n Last time Jiang Zhen came back from outside, someone was bullying Zhao Jinge, so he went to save Zhao Jinge, and said that Zhao Jinge was his man. This time . . . How similar was this to last time? Only this time, he didn’t save such an ugly ger like Zhao Jinge but a beautiful ger like He Qiusheng.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Jiang Zhen had subdued Liu Heitou and saved He Qiusheng. The He family didn\u2019t want to marry He Qiusheng to Liu Heitou, so they could only give him to Jiang Zhen. After all, other people would not dare to marry him in order not to offend Liu Heitou. And thinking about it . . . although Jiang Zhen had a bad reputation, he was still a bit better than Liu Heitou. Moreover, he was not married yet and He Qiusheng was not so young anyway . . . Of course, there was no room for any other candidates. If Jiang Zhen had fallen in love with He Qiusheng, how could his family resist?<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cJiang Zhen brought back a lot of things this time, and all of them seem to be very valuable. It is not a loss for He Qiusheng to marry him . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cDid Jiang Zhen take a fancy to He Qiusheng this time?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cFor me, I would also pick He Qiusheng and not Zhao Jinge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cThe Zhao family was thinking about marriage before, but Jiang Zhen probably doesn\u2019t like their family now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u00a0. . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n There were many people whispering around Zhao Jinge. Zhao Jinge couldn\u2019t help but lower his head. In fact, not only the villagers thought this way, the three brothers of the He family thought the same. Jiang Zhen\u2019s willingness to fight against Liu Heitou was probably because he took a fancy to He Qiusheng!<\/span><\/p>\r\n He Chunsheng and He Xiasheng clenched their fists and felt somewhat sad, while at the same time, He Qiusheng had already climbed up from the river. Before, He Qiusheng was also a bit afraid of Jiang Zhen, but this fear couldn\u2019t be compared to his fear of Liu Heitou. After all, Liu Heitou beat him, and Jiang Zhen . . . He had only seen Jiang Zhen beating others. Besides . . . just now, no one was willing to save him, and the men who said they liked him, all stayed away. But Jiang Zhen saved him, which made him develop some different feelings for Jiang Zhen. If Jiang Zhen liked him . . . In fact, Jiang Zhen was much better than Liu Heitou . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cHello, Eldest Jiang . . .\u201d He Qiusheng said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cJinge!\u201d But Jiang Zhen had already arrived by Zhao Jinge\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\r\n It had been such a long time since he had last met him. He really wanted to kiss him, but now there were so many people . . . Jiang Zhen sighed. In the end, he just held Zhao Jinge\u2019s hand, then caressed it several times before asking, \u201cDid you miss me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zhao Jinge raised his head abruptly and saw Jiang Zhen looking at him with a smile, ignoring He Qiusheng, who had climbed ashore and was still calling for him. He might not have said anything before, but now . . . Zhao Jinge whispered, \u201cYes.\u201d With that, he also held Jiang Zhen\u2019s hand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Feeling the strength in his hand, Jiang Zhen wanted to take Zhao Jinge\u2019s palm and kiss it. He tried to restrain himself and said, \u201cJinge, I bought some things from Fucheng. Let\u2019s pack them up and take them home . . . I also brought you a present.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n As he was talking, he pulled Zhao Jinge to the river; his cold and hard expression had softened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n At that moment, the people around were stunned. This situation was different from what they thought! Jiang Zhen, he unexpectedly ignored He Qiusheng and took Zhao Jinge\u2019s hand? What Zhao Liu boasted about was not a lie? It was true?<\/span><\/p>\r\n Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Talking about He Qiusheng jumping in the river, one should take into account what ordinary rivers looked like.
