But where can we find villains to torture?

After wandering around the village, Liu Yingying didn't find any villains to beat up, but she did hear some gossip from the old ladies.

"Have you heard? Things have changed in Furong County, even the magistrate has been replaced!"

"So what if we change? All crows under the sky are equally corrupt!"

"This time is different. I heard that the previous official was investigated and his property was confiscated for corruption. This new official is only thirty years old and a newly appointed scholar. With this famine going on, perhaps he will order disaster relief..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yingying scoffed and walked away.

There are frozen corpses on the road, while the rich feast on meat and wine behind their gates. Having been in officialdom, she understands that "officials" with a conscience are extremely rare!

Therefore, she never relies on anyone.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the cornfield with withered and yellow leaves at the west end of the village.

Liu Yingying seemed lost in thought. If a timely rain were to fall soon, perhaps these crops wouldn't have been completely lost...

Just then, she saw several figures dart into the cornfield in the distance.

"Help!" came the woman's weak cry for help.

Liu Yingying first frowned, but then a happy smile appeared on her lips. She rubbed her hands together, eager to get started, and ran off.

In a cornfield, three local scoundrels were about to commit an indecent act against a young girl.

No matter how much the poor girl begged to be spared, it couldn't arouse the slightest bit of humanity in these three beasts!

"You women are born to be cheap sluts for men to play with, what's so great about that!"

"Heh heh! Go ahead and yell, it won't do you any good no matter how loud you shout!"

As he spoke, he began to roughly tear off the girl's clothes.

Finally, the three of them suddenly stopped and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes first?"
