Chapter 41 Killing indiscriminately
Chapter 41 Killing indiscriminately
An elderly woman was dragged to the ground by the robbers, clutching her chest and desperately clinging to her stolen package, wailing, "This is my package! You can't take my package! Give me back my package!"
Seeing that the old woman wouldn't let go, the robber kicked her hard in the chest again, almost killing her, before stopping.
None of the surrounding refugees dared to rush forward to help. Even the old woman's son only dared to squat to the side like a quail, watching helplessly as his old mother was beaten half to death.
Even though the group of refugees outnumbered the robbers by more than double, they were still managed to be held hostage by the robbers.
The bearded man glanced over the refugees, his lecherous eyes lingering on several young girls and women.
They practically stripped people naked and stared at them; it was absolutely disgusting.
Old Luo, perhaps out of compassion for the doctor, couldn't bear to see the weak being bullied. Taking advantage of the moment when Su Yue was still watching the commotion, he ran into the group of robbers and started fighting.
Don't let that old man's age fool you, he's got amazing skills. He held his own against a dozen robbers, and Su Yue was practically applauding him.
Su Yue was genuinely worried that the old man might get beaten up. She hadn't even fully mastered her own Phantom Movement Technique yet, and if he still didn't understand something, she could ask him.
He grabbed a large iron ladle and rushed over, beating anyone who came forward.
Just as Old Luo snatched the sickle from one of the robbers, he saw Su Yue running over and shouted anxiously, "Little girl, are you out of your mind? Go back quickly, get the mule and leave!"
Su Yue was in the middle of a fierce fight, even using the footwork she had just learned. How could she possibly listen to the old man's words and leave? She pretended not to hear and started wildly hitting the robber.
But at least that old geezer had a conscience.
When Old Man Luo saw that Su Yue was ignoring him, he began to get anxious. He regretted not taking her with him earlier. This little brat was too young and didn't know her place. He would teach her a lesson later.
When the refugees saw that someone had come to help them, some took advantage of the chaos to escape, while others rushed forward and wrestled with the robbers.
In an instant, shouts of fighting and killing filled the road, frightening the refugees who hadn't yet arrived, who all avoided the area, fearing they would get into trouble.
The bearded man who was leading the fight joined in, seeing the people embroiled in the brawl.
Some refugees, lacking weapons, would gang up on a robber, beating him to death, seizing his weapons, and then rushing towards the next robber.
If a woman couldn't be defeated, he would protect the elderly and children and hide away.
Some of the more formidable aunties and older women would grab kitchen knives and slash at the robbers without showing the slightest fear.
They were probably scared, but the thought that if they didn't kill these robbers, they would be the ones to die, made them feel less afraid.
To protect their wives, children, and elderly parents, these refugees risked their lives.
These migrants were all honest country folk. They would slaughter a pig for the New Year, but they wouldn't dare to kill anyone.
But now it seems that as long as their bottom line for survival is crossed, they are willing to kill someone or even eat human flesh.
Su Yue wielded a large iron ladle, her movements swift and decisive, without a moment's hesitation. She scooped up one after another, leaving no time for even a scream before the wound dented and the victim died.
Su Yue doesn't like using knives because they cause blood to splatter everywhere, which is scary.
A large iron spoon is still more convenient to use.
Old Luo was slightly relieved to see that Su Yue's skills were even better than his own. He blamed himself for being too impulsive. If the little girl hadn't been so powerful, he would have been killed by him.
His men showed no mercy, severing the head of the robber who charged at them with a single blow.
He kicked the weapon out of the robber's hand as he was about to strike, then delivered a finishing blow.
Seeing that the old man had taken down two people at once, Su Yue thought, "That won't do. I'm sure I'm better than that old man." With a forceful swing, she sent the large iron ladle flying.
With a few loud bangs, three people were sent flying, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lay still.
Old Luo was almost dumbfounded. He knew this little girl was strong, but he never expected her to be this strong. He had really underestimated her.
Soon, the robbers were almost wiped out. Seeing that things were not going well, they dropped their hoes, sickles, and axes and ran away.
The bearded man who was leading the fight had already run away when he realized he couldn't win.
They were originally refugees fleeing famine, but bandits robbed them of all their food and supplies, and they almost starved to death on the way.
Later, they discussed why they couldn't rob others when others robbed them, and why they hadn't dared to rob the large group of refugees earlier.
They initially robbed lone individuals, grabbing whatever food they could find. However, as more and more people joined them, the robbery ring grew larger and larger.
In the end, they weren't satisfied with just robbing food and money; they also wanted any woman who was presentable.
Many of the refugees who fled famine were originally rural people who were weak and only knew how to do farm work.
In the past, few dared to resist during robberies; they all obediently handed over their food and women.
Today I've really had the worst luck, running into a madman. When he beats people, there's no blood, but it's even more terrifying than being stabbed with a knife.
Just as Su Yue was getting into the swing of things, she noticed that the remaining robbers ran faster than rabbits, disappearing into the woods in the blink of an eye.
The chaos ended quickly, and the ground was littered with corpses and wounded people.
After the fight, the refugees didn't linger. They picked up the packages they had left behind, kowtowed to thank old man Su Yueluo, and then helped each other leave quickly, afraid that the bandits who had escaped might return.
Once everyone had left, Su Yue began instructing Old Man Luo to search the corpse, while she sat on the cart, swinging her legs and watching.
Feeling guilty for his impulsive actions, Old Luo quickly reached out to touch the corpses of the robbers.
Su Yue happily counted the silver that Old Man Luo had taken from the corpse, and then put it into her small cloth bag.
After all the corpses had been searched, the amount was less than a hundred taels of silver.
"Old man, are you hiding something? How could so many corpses not even amount to a hundred taels of silver?" Su Yue looked at Old Man Luo with suspicion.
"Is a few taels of silver worth me hiding? If you're afraid I'll hide it, why don't you go and search the corpse yourself? Sigh! It's hard to be a good person!" Old Luo sat on the cart and began to sigh.
"Alas! My heart is broken, I can't even pull the mule cart anymore, I need a drink to feel better." He shook the half-empty gourd.
Su Yue knew this old man was up to something, but she wasn't going to fall for it. She reached into her small handbag, pulled out a handful of fried soybeans, and started crunching them.
Old Luo didn't hear Su Yue respond to him, so he turned around and saw that the little girl was eating something, chewing it with great relish.
"You just hit someone, and you're already eating again? And you have good stuff, but you didn't even think of giving me any. I just went through all that trouble to turn over your corpse. You're such a heartless little thing." Old Luo stretched out his hand, waiting for Su Yue to give it to him.
Su Yue immediately realized that the old man's claim of being a divine physician from the Valley of Divine Physicians was definitely a lie.
This gluttonous and alcoholic old man doesn't look like a miracle doctor at all. If he didn't know some kung fu, he would look like a beggar.
