For the first time, he had the idea of helping the people around him.
Just then, a desperate voice suddenly rang out from next door.
"Please stop fighting, we really have no more food."
The sound came from an elderly couple next door, who were also the owners of the house Ye Wenxi had borrowed.
Perhaps they were terrified of being beaten, for suddenly they remembered something and immediately pointed to the next room and said, "They have it."
The man raised his voice immediately.
“Yesterday, several important people came to this house, bringing two whole cartloads of goods, which must have been a lot of grain.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinxi and the others' expressions changed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of their courtyard gate rang again.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
The loud banging on the door made everyone tense.
Gu Jinxi remained calm, looking towards the doorway, and ordered, "Guard the door. Anyone who enters must be killed immediately without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately stood inside the doorway, drew their longswords, and prepared to attack.
Gu Jinxi's calm yet ruthless voice startled the doctor, who couldn't help but glance at the small Gu Jinxi again.
He originally wanted to remind Gu Jinxi that she absolutely could not be soft-hearted at this time.
Because if those people were to break in and discover that they still had food here, the entire house would probably be razed to the ground.
Unexpectedly, this little guy was so decisive; his small body carried the ruthlessness and decisiveness of someone in a superior position.
"Whoosh—"
"Bang--"
With a loud crash, the entire door was pushed down.
Instantly, dust flew up.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in, stepping over the door panel.
They were overjoyed when they saw the people standing in the courtyard.
"With so many people, there must be food..."
"puff--"
Before he could finish speaking, his head was severed off.
The same applies to the people on the other side.
Their heads flew off, their bodies seemed oblivious, and their feet even took a step forward before collapsing to the ground.
The blood on his neck gushed out like a fountain, which was quite horrifying.
This scene caused the refugees behind to instantly take a step back, trembling with fear.
joke!
They were just hungry and wanted to find something to eat to survive, so why would they risk their lives?
They have always done this.
At first, they were relatively normal, and they just wanted others to feel sorry for them and give them some food.
However, those high-ranking officials and nobles did not treat them like human beings at all. Not only did they not give them food, but they also scolded them and even beat them for no reason.
They said they polluted the air here and blocked their eyes.
In order to survive, they gathered together and stormed into the wealthy family's house, looting everything they owned.
After that, they tasted the benefits and started doing the same thing wherever they went.
But there were too many of them, and even if they stole a lot of things, it would only be a drop in the ocean.
As they ventured into more and more remote areas, the number of wealthy households dwindled. To survive, they were forced to turn to ordinary people.
In this way, their team continued to grow, and gradually they got used to this method.
Of course, they encountered a lot of resistance along the way, and there were bound to be casualties.
But never before has anything been as horrifying as it is now.
They looked at the two swords in front of them as if they were two scythes, as if they could cut off their heads at any moment.
Then look at the child standing calmly in the yard.
She was a tiny little person with a round, chubby face and bright, sparkling eyes.
However, he didn't even blink when the blood gushed out.
This made the child seem even more eerie, which made the people even more frightened. They didn't care about anything else, immediately took a few steps back, and turned to run away.
However, the refugees behind them did not see this scene. They were puzzled when they saw the people in front running away, but they still rushed in.
By the time they saw the corpses in front of them, it was too late.
Their heads fell off as well.
No matter how many people came, without exception, they either died or ran away.
Gradually, all the refugees fled, and the village became quiet again.
Only then did the doctor, who had been huddled in the corner, barely daring to breathe, finally breathe a sigh of relief and stand up shakily.
"These...they're not refugees, they're clearly...clearly bandits!"
Although the doctor was aware of the behavior of these refugees, he was far less shocked than when he saw it with his own eyes.
"With so many people gathered together and behaving in this way, it must be that they are being manipulated or guided by someone with ulterior motives."
If we let them grow any stronger, I'm afraid...
The doctor didn't continue speaking.
But Gu Jinxi had already guessed it.
"Could someone take this opportunity to start a rebellion?"
As soon as Gu Jinxi finished speaking, footsteps echoed again from the previously quiet doorway.
It sounds like much more than before.
The guards immediately became alert.
Gu Jinxi frowned slightly as she looked at Xiaoman.
"Stand guarding the courtyard wall."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman immediately went to the foot of the courtyard wall.
Lanxin, who was inside the room, also heard the noise outside and immediately came out, consciously standing guard under the other side of the courtyard wall.
