Bandit Liang and his companion get a job from a human trafficker. Liang needs to escort 4 girls from Huazhou city to Luoyang city. They have to pass through Huazhou, Wenxiang, Shanzhou, and reach the final destination Luoyang.

At first, Liang thought the girls he escorted would be sold to the rich as adopted daughters to start a new life. However, a girl called “Sui” tells the “truth” of this journey to Liang.

The rich is actually a swine demon that has practiced for thousands of years. The swine demon enjoys eating girls. Every year on his birthday, he would send human traffickers to abduct girls from Shaanxi to celebrate. Sui’s sister was killed by this demon.

Sui hopes Liang can stop the escort and join with her to assassinate the swine demon, to get revenge for her sister and girls who have lost their lives in the past few years, but Liang does not completely believe Sui since there are many mysteries buried in Sui. Liang will gather information during this travel, investigate the truth behind this escort and make his decisions.
