Reaching out to grab the knives dropped by the guards on the ground, Qin Yuesheng swung them out one by one, chopping off the heads of all the horses they were riding. In the blink of an eye, all the good horses were turned into headless dead horses.
"If you are hungry, you can go collect some firewood and I will prepare some for you so that you can eat horse meat." Qin Yuesheng said as he looked at the refugees around him who were so thin that their faces were yellow and their bones were visible.
"horsemeat!"
When they heard these two words, their eyes lit up immediately, and they were like hungry wolves seeing food.
"You are so bold! You actually dared to kill my horse!" Zhang Huangzhi was shocked and angry when he saw his beloved horse's head and body separated by Qin Yuesheng's attack.
"I wanted to spare your life, but it seems there is no need." Qin Yuesheng looked at him coldly, and swung his hand casually. A cold light shot out and pierced through Zhang Huangzhi's throat. It was the flying knife that Qin Yuesheng carried with him.
"Young Master!" The guards widened their eyes in disbelief.
This is terrible. Even if they can bring the murderer Qin Yuesheng back to the Jianghe Salt Gang, they cannot atone for their sins.
Seeing that Qin Yuesheng had actually killed someone, all the refugees present stopped what they were doing for a moment.
These refugees were ordinary people before leaving their hometown. They had never seen such a scene before and were all dumbfounded.
Qin Yuesheng shouted, "If you want to eat horse meat, hurry up. If you don't gather some firewood, I'm leaving."
Tormented by hunger, everything else no longer mattered. The refugee men immediately turned around and went to look for firewood nearby. Fortunately, there were dense forests on both sides of the road, and they soon took out a lot of branches and leaves from them.
Qin Yuesheng used a knife to chop the horse's body into several large pieces, took out his own tinder to help the refugees light the firewood pile, and suddenly a blazing bonfire started on the side of the road.
"These people are temporarily injured by me and cannot move for a while. You can choose to kill them or tie them up. It's up to you. The fire is almost ready. You can process the horse skin yourself and then roast it with the fire. Although there is no salt, it is still edible." Qin Yuesheng said.
So many horses are enough to feed these refugees. It is gratifying that he can save these people's lives by doing a good deed.
"Thank you so much, benefactor. Thank you so much, benefactor."
Faced with the gratitude of many refugees, Qin Yuesheng continued his journey towards the east.
Looking at Qin Yuesheng's back, Huang Rou, the girl he had just rescued, immediately said to the people around him, "Come on, everyone, hurry up and tie these people up first, then roast the horse meat."
After tearing off their torn clothes, everyone tied up all of Zhang Huangzhi's guards tightly, then swarmed over the horse meat that Qin Yuesheng had cut up and started grilling it over the campfire.
While these refugees were busy barbecuing, Huang Rou walked to the old man who had just been knocked away. Unfortunately, due to his old age and frailty, the old man died the moment he was knocked away.
Huang Rou shook her head regretfully, moved him to the side of the road, and dug up soil with her own hands to cover the other's body.
The world is so big, and the lives of these homeless refugees are as worthless as ants. No one cares about them at all. Huang Rou has treated them very well by not letting their bodies be left exposed in the wilderness after their death.
Looking up at the sky, Huang Rou couldn't help but touch the yellow scarf tied around her wrist and sighed, "Master, how long will this world belong to the Tang Dynasty?"
…
Qin Yuesheng ran at full speed and soon arrived at the shore of the East China Sea as the sun was setting.
The place where the land and the sea meet is all pure white sand. The beach looks like a vast expanse of white at a glance, and the red glow of the setting sun reflected on the sea surface makes the scenery quite nice.
However, when Qin Yuesheng arrived at this place, there was no village in front and no shop behind, and it was sparsely populated. So he followed this white sand beach and started his journey south again.
Previously, in the archives room of the governor's mansion, he had seen that although Shazizhou was remote, there were still some villages. They were all poor people who had left their homes and gathered together to keep each other warm. Everyone built houses together, and then slowly developed into a village.
As Qin Yuesheng ran wildly, he found a small fishing village with smoke rising from the beach more than 20 miles to the south. It seemed that the villagers were cooking dinner.
"We don't have to sleep outdoors tonight." Qin Yuesheng said with a smile.
As soon as I walked into the small fishing village, I saw a few little kids with pigtails and longevity locks around their necks wearing red bellybands playing under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
As soon as they saw the stranger Qin Yuesheng, they immediately turned around and ran away in fear, shouting in panic: "The human traffickers are coming! The human traffickers are coming!"
Qin Yuesheng was left in a state of confusion.
Damn, despite being so young, he has a strong sense of vigilance.
At the shouting of these children, a woman holding a spatula suddenly ran out from her house. When she saw Qin Yuesheng, her face showed a hint of confusion.
"I was passing by here and saw that it was getting late and no longer suitable to travel, so I wanted to come to your village to borrow a place to stay and have a meal. I can pay for it." Qin Yuesheng took out an ingot of silver and said.
The moment they saw the silver, everyone's eyes widened. Although they lived on the coast of the East China Sea, they had to go to Yangzhou Prefecture to buy daily necessities. Thinking about how her husband worked hard to fish and sell fish to earn a few dollars, and the young man in front of her was so generous, how could she resist the temptation of silver.
