When Old Man Li woke up again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Because he saw his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all captured by those people and tied up with ropes.

Old Man Li was so scared that he didn't know what to do. He didn't know what had happened to his family and why they had gotten into trouble with such a group of people.

Old Man Li panicked and started bowing and kowtowing continuously, even kneeling on the ground, begging these people to spare his son and grandson.

But that person told Old Man Li that this time the three of them must die!

Because Old Man Li’s son actually dared to kidnap a maid from their gang, he was so bold!

Old Man Li was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know who these people were. The so-called maids should be servants, and his daughter-in-law was actually a servant!

But his son had never told him these things, and now that they had come to his house, he felt so miserable that he could not even cry.

But his son told him that he did not abduct the girl, but that the maid ran away on her own and begged him to take her in. They were in love with each other and had a mutual understanding.

Old Man Li knew his son well and knew he was definitely not the kind of man who would kidnap a girl. But it was too late to say anything now because it had already happened.

Old Man Li had no choice but to beg those people, saying that the two of them were in love and the girl was very happy in his family, and he hoped that they would let their family go.

But those people would never listen to him. They immediately captured his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, leaving only Old Man Li alone.

Old Man Li certainly couldn't bear to watch them get captured, so he chased after them.

But when they got outside the village, they immediately killed all three of them without any hesitation at all.

When Old Man Li caught up with them, he found that they were all dead, all killed with one knife.

Even the poor children were not spared and were killed in broad daylight.

When Old Man Li saw this tragic scene, he fainted from crying.

Later, the villagers got the news and rescued Old Man Li.

Everyone was terrified when they saw the tragic scene before them.

After waking up, Old Man Li burst into tears. Originally his whole family was together, but now he was the only old man left.

Everyone advised Old Man Li not to be too sad. The most important thing now was to bury the dead as soon as possible so that they could rest in peace.

With the kind help of the villagers, Old Man Li buried his son, daughter-in-law and young grandson.

The villagers couldn't help but sigh when they mentioned this matter. It was such a happy family, but unfortunately in the blink of an eye, the old man became alone. The old man was really pitiful.

After encountering this misfortune, Old Man Li became very depressed. For a long time, he hid in a deserted place and cried secretly.

It was almost two years later that Old Man Li slowly recovered.

He usually laughs in front of everyone, but when no one is around he feels extremely painful in his heart.

But he had no place to express this pain, so he could only bury it deep in his heart.

After listening to Old Man Li's account of what happened, Zhou Bin couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

He then asked, "Dad, what do those people do? Do you know?"

Father Li said slowly: "After this incident happened, I was so sad. How could an old country man like me know the identities of these people? But then one day, those people came again."

It turned out that three years after the incident, those people broke into the village again. This time they were not looking for Old Man Li, but came to assign tasks to the villagers.

According to what they said, this village will be under the control of their Xinglong Gang in the future, and everyone in the village must hand over silver. Each person must hand over five taels of silver per year, otherwise they will be arrested.

When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked. Five taels of silver was not a small amount of money. They were all honest farmers, so where could they get so much silver?

But those people don't care about that, they want everyone to pay so much money.

The villagers had no choice but to beg them to reduce the amount, and some even went so far as to sell all their food.

In the end, they found that no one could come up with the money, so they had to set the amount at three taels of silver.

But even three taels of silver was not enough for everyone to pay.

Some villagers could not survive any longer, so they had to flee secretly. However, when they got outside, they found that the area was still the territory of the Xinglong Gang.

These people were caught again and severely beaten.

In the end, some people couldn't afford to pay the money, so they came to steal things. They would steal anything that was valuable.

Now everyone in the village is extremely poor and can barely survive by farming.

Even if he was a human being, he still had to pay three taels of silver to others every year.

Old Man Li already had a deep hatred for these people, but now he had to pay them money, and he was absolutely unwilling to do so.

But he couldn't survive if he didn't hand it over. As the saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life. In the end, Old Man Li had to accept this reality.

The time for them to come and ask for money this year is approaching, but Old Man Li has not yet collected all the money, and he is very worried.

After hearing what Old Man Li said, Zhou Bin felt even more deeply moved. This so-called Xinglong Gang was really too much. They simply didn't allow the poor to survive!

Who gave them the confidence to do such evil things? Is there still law and order?

Zhou Bin spoke out all his dissatisfaction, but Father Li looked helpless and said, "Young man, in this world, it's good enough to survive. You know, even warriors have a very difficult life now. They have to bow their heads when they see cultivators, not to mention us civilians."
