Night fell. After a busy day, everyone went to bed early. There were only black-robed men patrolling on the street.
"Argh! Help, help!"
The calm night sky was suddenly rocked by a shrill scream.
The black-robed men who heard the noise quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
When they arrived, they saw a woman in ragged clothes sitting on the ground. She could not hide the fear on her face when she saw the black-robed men coming near.
"You guys… you guys don't come over. I beg you to let me go…"
The other villagers heard the commotion and quickly ran out of their homes.
The moment they arrived, they saw a group of black-robed men surrounding a woman in ragged clothes. The woman was staring at them in terror.
"Isn't this Er Ni?"
Zhao Dahe had also rushed over with his clothes draped over his shoulders. He recognized the woman on the ground at a glance. She was the girl he had taken a fancy to previously and was going to ask for her to become his son's wife.
