Lin Wanwan leaned over to take a look and found that it was no different from the Chinese characters she had learned. Fortunately, she knew the characters in this world.

Soon Lin Bo memorized all six words, and Master Bai asked them to write them on the ground several times.

Lin Bo wrote it out directly, but the handwriting was still a little childish. Master Bai nodded and said, "The strokes are all correct, but it's too ugly."

Zhao Qiaoniang also wrote it down. Master Bai smiled and said, "You two learn really fast."

Mulan, Cui Ya and the little carpenter pondered for a long time and finally wrote out the words.

Master Bai then said, "Alright, let's go to bed early! We might have to travel again tomorrow..."

But just as they lay down, they heard the voice of Butler Zhou: "I'm telling you, if you want to see the person alive or the body dead, you have to pay me this money, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Lao San looked at Butler Zhou pitifully and said, "There's nothing we can do! We searched everywhere under this cliff, but we couldn't find her."

"Oh! This is your business, Lin Lao San. You have taken the money and food. Do you think you can escape?

Not only can you not escape, no one from Linjia Village can escape." These people immediately drew their weapons.

Some of them held knives, some held axes. The servants of these wealthy families were different from those of ordinary families.

Now that the country is in chaos and war, the wealthy families not only have food, but also various kinds of weapons.

Master Zhou frowned and said, "Let's also grab our weapons. If these people are unreasonable, it will be bad."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao who was trembling with fear. Master Bai said, "Find a secluded place to hide. If these people find you, we will all be implicated by you."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and hid behind the tree nearby.

The village chief stood up and said, "Everyone, let's talk it out. This matter has something to do with Lin Lao San, and it has nothing to do with us."

Butler Zhou snorted coldly and said:

"How come this has nothing to do with you? Aren't they from your village?

Since you are the village chief, you are naturally responsible. If they can't pay it back, you have to pay it back."

Lin Laosan was dejected, but he was very happy in his heart. As long as he didn't vomit out what he had eaten, everything would be fine.

The village chief swung his sleeves and said, "Come here, two people, go and take out the food and money from Lin Laosan's family."

Lin Laosan was anxious: "Why do you want to take our food and money? No way..."

"God damn it, are you bandits? This is for my son's wedding. I finally managed to save up some food.

I lost my daughter, do you still have any conscience?" Lin Laosan's wife cried out "Wow!"

But the two strong men in the village had already started rummaging through the house. There wasn't much good stuff in Lin Laosan's house, just some rags and old quilts.

Soon they found a bag of grain and 500 coins.

These things were quickly delivered to Butler Zhou, who sneered and said:

"Do you think these things can get rid of me?

We agreed at the beginning that if you are unwilling to send Lin Xiaoxiao to our Zhou family, you must pay double the amount."

Lin Laosan's wife was so angry that she cursed loudly:

"Oh my God! Is there any room for reason? These bastards are trying to kill us?

You forced my daughter to death, don't you feel guilty?"

Butler Zhou said coldly:

“You all know who forced this child to death.

We told you clearly at the time that this child would be married off to a ghost."

Lin Laosan's face flushed red and he said, "Nonsense, I don't know anything at all..."

The lackeys around Butler Zhou rushed forward and started beating him up with punches and kicks: "Who are you calling yourself the boss in front of? Beat him to death."

Soon, Lin Lao San was beaten so hard that he vomited blood. The village chief hurriedly said, "We have given you the food and copper coins. Please let us go."

Butler Zhou looked at them with a condescending look and said, "Now we must take a girl away. Do you think there are any girls of the same age in the village?"

Cui Ya's father rushed up and said:

"I have... I have a girl at home, if she is willing to go with you.

Can you give us your 500 coins and that bag of grain?"

Butler Zhou smiled and said:

"If she really wants to go with us, it's not just the 500 coins.

I'll give you another 500 coins and an extra bag of grain. What do you think?"

Cui Ya's father's eyes lit up and he ran straight towards Cui Ya:

"Cui Ya, did you hear that? You're going to have a good life. All you have to do is follow them.

There will be endless food in the future, hahaha..."

Cui Ya held a big knife and looked at him coldly, "Are you crazy? I'm not a member of your family anymore. Why should I go with them?"

"Hey! Don't be ungrateful, girl. We are from a wealthy family. How can we let you be a concubine? How can we treat you like that?

I heard that rich families eat white rice and wear silk and satin. You can live such a good life in your life, you should thank me." Cui Ya's father's face flushed with joy.

Cui Ya slapped him hard and said, "People have said that this is to be buried with the dead. Don't you know what a ghost marriage is?"

Cui Ya's father didn't expect Cui Ya to be so powerful now. He slapped her in the face. He covered his face and said angrily: "What do I care about you? Anyway, you are a husband-killer. You will never get married in this life. Hurry and follow Manager Zhou."

Cui Ya's mother also rushed over, knelt upright in front of Cui Ya and said:

"Cui Ya, I have never asked you for anything in my life. We have no food at home, and you can't just stand by and watch me die!

You have brothers and sisters, they are all looking up to you!"

Cui Ya's younger brother came over and said, "Sister, I haven't eaten for three days. Please save me!"

Cui Ya's two younger sisters also knelt on the ground. The elder sister cried and begged, "Sister...sister...look at us! We have become like this. We are so hungry that we can't stand it."

The second sister also wiped her tears and said:

"If you become a concubine, you can eat and drink enough every day, how wonderful it would be!

We dare not even think about it, but your parents still miss you."

Cui Ya kicked them away and said, "So Second Sister thinks this kind of day is so good! That's simple! I'll give you such a good day."

Cui Ya's mother quickly said, "Cui Ya, your sister is still young! She's only eight years old, what can she do?"

Butler Zhou said impatiently, "Have you and your family finally reached an agreement? I don't have the patience to waste time with you."

Cui Ya's father nodded and said, "We've discussed it, we've discussed it, you can just take my daughter away."
