On a September night, the village of Ox-Head was surrounded by flames.

The leader of the bandits named Boss Tiger brought his hundreds of bandits to gather all the villagers in the village.

Boss Tiger, who was born with a tiger's back and a one-inch long scar on his right eye, sat on the tall horse. He looked at the faces filled with fear with a deep gaze. Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads when they faced his gaze.

Pa!

He waved his long whip and a crisp sound exploded, causing the surrounding villagers to be so scared that their faces turned deathly pale that they took a few steps back.

Boss Tiger was very satisfied with this result.

He revealed a sinister smile and then said in a deep voice, "My brother, Third You, came to your village a few days ago to collect grain, but was injured by the people here. I am a rough man, but I am very particular about it." "You can either hand over the person who caused the accident to me or hand over five stones of grain per person. You should treat it as money for your brother to recover from his injuries. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave alive today!"

Pa!

With that, he waved the whip in his hand again, and the loud explosion was like a heavy drum hitting the hearts of everyone present, shattering their courage.

Liu Dingdang stood behind the crowd numbly. Her eyes were dim and empty. It was as if everything that had happened around her had nothing to do with her.

Liu Dazhuang died.

Three days ago, his wound had worsened, and after months of suffering, he closed his eyes on a rainy autumn night.

Half a month ago, He went to Yanlai City alone. He heard that it was a big city and there were many powerful doctors there. Although they didn't get the money, the little monk felt that people's lives were at stake. He should be able to persuade those doctors to come and save them. Therefore, with such expectations, he took the buns that Liu Dingdang had prepared for him and went on his way alone.

Unfortunately, before the little monk could return, Liu Dazhuang swallowed his breath.

After all, Liu Dingdang was less than thirteen years old. Liu Dazhuang had died, and the little monk was not around. She immediately lost her backbone. Liu Dazhuang's corpse was parked in the room, and it already stinked. However, she had no money to bury him, and no one was willing to help her.

She stood there numbly like a walking corpse, indifferent to what was about to happen.

"What? Do you want me to make a move?"

When Boss Tiger saw that his words had fallen for a long time, the villagers in Niutou Village stood there in fear and cowardice, not a single one of them responding to him. This made him very dissatisfied.

The villagers were all honest farmers. This year's harvest was indeed much better than the previous years. Although there was a lot of five stone grain per household, after each family gave it to them, they could barely survive. However, Great Zhou had a weird year. With a harvest this year, it might not be a good year next year. How could they be willing to give these five stones of grain to these bandits in vain?

"Hand over people or food! Give me a hearty word!"

Under Boss Tiger's urging, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Although no one took the lead in speaking, they could roughly guess each other's intentions from each other's gazes.

Liu Dazhuang was already dead.

Dead people would not speak, would not bring them hunting, and would not condemn them.

Dead people were no longer important.

And the living have to live.

The crowd then cleared a path.

The wooden-faced Liu Dingdang stood at the end of the road. As everyone retreated, her figure was exposed in front of the Tiger Boss.

"Huh?" Boss Tiger was stunned.

Thirteen-year-old Liu Dingdang had already appeared graceful and elegant. Boss Tiger was also an indulgent person. There were a total of twenty women snatched from every village in the village. He could tell at a glance that this girl in front of him, although her body had not yet grown, would definitely be a soul-catching beauty if she was kept in captivity for a year and a half.

Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with greed.

"Lord Tiger, this is Liu Dazhuang's daughter. It is Liu Dazhuang who injured Lord You. Liu Dazhuang is dead, only she is still alive. This has nothing to do with us."

As soon as she said this, the numb Liu Dingdang's body trembled. She raised her head and looked at the person who said this, her eyes immediately filled with disbelief.

However, this astonishment did not last long.

"Yes, Lord Tiger, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"It was all done by Liu Dazhuang."

"We have never attacked Lord You before."

..

In the next moment, the villagers of Niutou Village were like birds that had exploded into a pot, all of them scrambling to speak first, as if they were afraid that if they spoke a word slowly, they would have something to do with Liu Dingdang.

At that time, Liu Dingdang's heart felt as if he was in a trance as if he was dreaming.

She looked at the familiar faces, Among them were teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years of age, Previously, they were still clamoring to learn kung fu from Liu Dazhuang. Among them were women in their thirties and forties. In the past, they were enthusiastic about helping Liu Dazhuang, who had lost his spouse, find a new string. Among them was an old man who was over sixty years old and had no children under his knees. During the famine years, the grain in the fields had not been harvested, so they had to rely on Liu Dazhuang's help to survive until today.

But now, they were avoiding her as if they had seen the God of Plague.

Liu Dingdang's eyes gradually twisted into sinister expressions that looked like evil ghosts.

It was as if it was in this short period of time.

The small village that had once made Liu Dingdang feel incomparably at ease had completely changed its appearance.

"Come here." Boss Tiger hooked his fingers and narrowed his eyes.

Liu Dingdang's body trembled. She knew that she could not resist this group of people in front of her, be it the bandits on Niutou Mountain or the villagers in Niutou Village. They were like jackals in the mountains, surrounding her, watching her, looking for opportunities to eat her from the inside out. That feeling made Liu Dingdang suffocate. She lowered her head and the expression in her eyes became wooden and dull again.

Afterwards, she walked over stiffly like a puppet that was tied by someone.

Boss Tiger was delighted. He bent his body down on the horse and gently lifted Liu Dingdang's white jade-like chin with his fingers. He looked carefully as if he was admiring a fruit that was about to ripen.

"You are Liu Dazhuang's daughter?" As he asked, a fishy smell spurted out from his mouth and hit Liu Dingdang's face.

"I am Liu Dazhuang's daughter." Liu Dingdang looked straight at the ferocious face in front of her, but there was not much fear in her heart. She was very calm, calm as if everything was no longer important at this moment. Was this what the little monk said? In her tiny head, thinking like this, she felt that it was somewhat ridiculous.

..

Hu!

Hu!

Guang Lingui gasped heavily. He was very uneasy.

An indescribable irritability lingered in his heart.

This feeling had been lingering in his mind for a few days, and as time passed, it became even more intense. Therefore, he began to rush forward desperately, wanting to return to Niutou Village as soon as possible.

However, his cultivation hadn't recovered. It was as if there was a shackle that locked his strength. He had tried several times without success.

This trip to Yanlai City was not as he had hoped. He did not find a doctor. Well, to be exact, he did not find a doctor who was willing to come here free of charge. The old monk once said that a good person deserves a good reward. He believed that a good person like Liu Dazhuang should not end up like this. However, the uneasiness in his heart kept telling him that something bad had happened in Niutou Village.

Therefore, he desperately rushed forward. The steamed buns that Liu Dingdang had prepared for him had already been eaten. He walked around on an empty stomach for two days and two nights. At this moment, his head was very dizzy, and his hands and feet were as heavy as a thousand jin. Every step he took required great effort to accomplish it.

Finally, the outline of the village appeared in his eyes.

Before he could rejoice, his eyebrows sank.

At this moment, it was already 11 o'clock, but Niu Tong Village was shining with flames.

This is very unusual.

This made Guang Lingui even more firm in his judgment. Before he could think much, he dragged his exhausted body and ran towards the village again.

..

"From today onwards, you will be mine." Boss Tiger smiled sinisterly as he looked at the cute little face in front of him.

"Your people?" Liu Dingdang repeated this sentence with a stunned expression, as if he was somewhat puzzled.

"What? You don't want to?" Boss Tiger asked.

"Then can you bury my father alive?" Liu Dingdang asked, his expression still wooden.

"No problem." Boss Tiger grinned. He had seen many people like Liu Dingdang. There were many women who were robbed by him. Their hearts were like ashes. As long as they fulfilled some small wishes, they would be at ease and be the dolls that he had wantonly made. How much could it cost to bury a dead person? It was naturally worth it to exchange for such a beauty.

"Alright, then I'm yours." Liu Dingdang nodded her head at that time. The last trace of intelligence in her eyes flashed in her pupils the moment she said those words. Finally, she returned to her deathly silence.

She stretched out her hand towards the Tiger Boss. Tiger Old Nature understood. At that time, she grabbed Qianqian's thin hand and suddenly lifted it. At that time, Liu Dingdang's petite body flew onto the horse's back and landed in his embrace.

He smiled impudently, his face full of complexion.

"This month's money will be waived for the sake of the little lady. You will have to pay your tribute on time next month!" He said loudly, his rough voice echoing in the little Niutou Village. The villagers shrugged their heads and did not dare to look at him, but they did not know whether it was because of fear or guilt.

However, it had to be said that it was a pleasant surprise for the villagers in Niutou Village to be able to save money for this month.

"No. It can't be avoided." But at this moment, the person in Boss Tiger's arms suddenly spoke.

Her expression was icy cold. If she didn't look carefully, she would have thought that it was just an exquisite doll.

However, her words caused the villagers in Niutou Village to feel as if they had been struck by lightning at that moment, and their expressions changed.

"Liu Dingdang, how can you be like this?"

"Have you forgotten that when your father was injured, it was everyone who had gathered the money.."

"How can a person forget their roots like this?"

At that time, the villagers who had been silent all this while suddenly exploded with accusations.

However, Liu Dingdang did not even look at them. She sat in the arms of Boss Tiger and looked up at the burly man and asked, "This is the last request. You have to obey me."

Boss Tiger was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face once again.

"Pay! Double pay!" His heart was burning with excitement. All he thought about was how to play with this exquisite doll in his arms when he returned to the stronghold. Naturally, he would comply with her request.

When these words were spoken, the villagers in Niutou Village cried out in sorrow.

However, Boss Tiger didn't have the intention to understand them. He laughed heartily at that time, turned his horse around, and was about to leave in high spirits.
