Jiang Nian raised his whip and quickly passed through the exit of the town, returning to the original route.
And the dozen or so mules behind him were in hot pursuit.
The speed of a mule cart was naturally not as fast as that of a mule without a cart. The people behind quickly caught up, raising their knives to cut off the frame of the cart. Jiang Yue blocked it with a knife.
Jiang Nian pulled the rope tightly and turned to the right until he reached an open space and stopped the car.
More than a dozen people surrounded them.
Jiang Yue looked around and saw that they were all young men in their twenties and thirties, not very tall. But his body shape is much stronger than that of the refugee, and his face is swollen and swollen, just like the innkeeper.
It's hard to say this isn't the same thing.
The leading man wore black cloth shoes and seemed to blend into the dim sky.
"Why did the two guests leave in such a hurry? Is it because the town did not provide good hospitality?" he asked with a smile.
If you ignore the long knife in his hand and hear this, you really want to give him a negative feedback.
In fact, Jiang Yue also gave a negative and truthful answer, "Well, the reception is indeed poor. I have never seen such a bad town. If it were a peaceful era with good weather, you would have been bulldozed long ago."
A breeze blew by, and the lukewarm tone immediately stunned the man.
I was angry in my heart. No one had ever refused to give me face like this. Is this a young lady being willful because she has no experience in the world, or is she confident?
He squinted his eyes. The man behind him was different from the "frail" ones they raised with mutton. He was really strong.
Seeing him staring at Jiang Nian without speaking, Jiang Yue's eyes darkened slightly, "We still have to hurry, please give way."
The others laughed loudly, "What road are you on? The Huangquan Road?"
"Why don't you stay, follow us, and have no worries about eating and drinking in the town? Isn't this life better than running away?"
Jiang Yue put on an expression of disbelief, "Oh? Doesn't your food and drink come from the dead? How many dead people can there be? If you have to support so many people in the town and do business, how can you not worry about food and drink all the time?"
"There are so many refugees on the road..."
"Fourth!" The leader glared at the man. He just came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked.
Then he filled his face with anger and pointed a knife at Jiang Yue and the two of them, "Stop talking so much nonsense! If I hand over the food today, I will spare your life! Otherwise, you can stay and make our food!"
These people make a living by killing people every day, and their bloodthirsty is several times deeper than those bandits before.
Moreover, they all carry swords, which are actually the official swords used by the government officials at that time. I wonder how many people here are fishing in troubled waters.
Jiang Yue clenched the knife in her hand, there was bound to be a big battle today.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It would be dawn in half an hour. It would be bad for them to wait too long.
"Yueyue, guard the car."
She nodded, understanding what he meant, and warned, "Be careful."
Jiang Nian got out of the car, put down the knife, took off his shirt, and then ran towards the leader.
These people were still laughing at his overestimation of his abilities, but unexpectedly, a horrifying scene appeared.
Under the dim moonlight, the man ran very fast, turned into a giant wolf in mid-air, opened his bloody mouth, and pounced on him!
"ah--"
The giant wolf's ferocious fangs penetrated deeply into his neck, and with a scream, his neck was bitten off.
Not only that, his head was torn apart and his body was separated. With two "bangs", he fell off the mule and his head rolled in front of the others...
The giant wolf pressed its front paws on the trembling mule, raised its head, and howled into the moonlight, as if it was the official prelude to the bloody battle.
The barbed tongue licked the blood on the fangs, and the indifference in its eyes was frightening.
The person next to him swallowed his saliva, reacted, and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The speed of the giant wolf was already better than that of the mule, not to mention that the mule was almost paralyzed on the ground at this moment and could not find its direction like crazy.
More than a dozen people were instantly plunged into chaos.
The giant wolf was as fast as lightning, biting off the neck, or digging into the heart with its sharp claws.
Seeing his companions dying one after another, unable to escape the giant wolf, the one behind looked at the woman in the car with cruel intentions in his eyes.
He rushed towards the mule cart and slashed at Jiang Yue with his knife.
Jiang Yue used a knife in her right hand to block, and quickly stabbed his heart with another knife in her left hand.
He opened his eyes wide before he died. This woman clearly only had one knife in her hand, so how could another one suddenly appear?
In the semi-darkness, screams could be heard endlessly, truly turning this stretch of road into a river of blood.
The frightened refugees in the distance huddled together and hugged each other to gain courage. "You guys, did you see it? What kind of monster is that?"
"I can't see clearly, it's so big! It bit off the head in one bite!"
"Let's run away quickly? Stop looking! What if the monster doesn't eat enough later and takes a fancy to us?"
"Run, run..."
This wave of refugees was frightened and ran towards another road with weak legs.
Within a quarter of an hour, these dozen people were all dead.
Several mules ran away, and the remaining mules either had their legs injured or were frightened to death. Jiang Yue took a knife and cut the necks of the injured mules, and then took them all away.
In addition, hundreds of taels of silver were found from these people, and all of them were collected together with their knives.
Jiang Nian entered the carriage and wanted to take a shower before returning to his human form.
Jiang Yue stroked her mule and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. They are all bad people. If you don't kill your mule companions now, they won't be able to survive tomorrow..."
By the time Jiang Nian finished taking care of things and put on his clothes again, the mule was no longer shivering.
The sky was completely bright and the road ahead became clear. The two set off again.
Half an hour after they left, someone came to the town.
The innkeeper waited for too long and no one came back, so he realized something was wrong and immediately took the remaining people out.
The land in front of them was stained red with blood, and their brothers were lying on it, their deaths were extremely miserable.
"Here, the third child's head was torn off by something?!"
"There is a big hole in Lao Liu's heart! What kind of monster did this?!"
There was a lot of discussion and people's hearts were agitated.
"Don't you dare scare people here! It's just a bit cruel. Who else is more of a monster than you?"
The boss looked around with a fierce look and said, "Damn it! We have so many mules, not a single one is left!"
Another person searched the bodies of the dead brothers, "Boss! Their knives are gone, and all the money on them is gone!"
Although the money is not valuable now, it will definitely be useful after the natural disaster!
Damn it! Did you encounter bandits? The eagle also had its eye pecked by a bird one day, and it was actually cheated!
What a shame!
"Boss, what should we do now?"
The innkeeper looked up and saw that there was only a small black spot left in the ordinary mule cart.
He snorted coldly, not believing how long they could survive.
He lowered his head, yawned, and said coldly, "Pull them all back to the town. Do business while they are alive, and do business even after they die."
"yes."
