Uncle Nine: Bandits on the Night Road, and a Girl Tells Me to Run

The moonlight barely reaches the barren hills outside Ren Family Town. While traveling at night, Duan Qianxing hears a woman’s voice crack as she cries for help. A girl in a white pleated dress, her wet black hair hanging loose, pedals toward him and urges him to run. The bicycle frame snaps with a crack, and the chain breaks into three pieces. Two bandits in black robes rein in their horses behind her, staring at her with leering grins.
