She didn't open the door, but held up her knife, ready to wait for the outsiders to break down the door so she could cut them down one by one, or two by two.
But after waiting for a quarter of an hour, those useless refugees still hadn't managed to break down the door. It turned out she had overestimated them. Indeed, although refugees are prone to losing their minds and doing inhuman things, they rely on brute force and have the advantage of numbers.
They probably haven't unleashed their full power yet. With their emaciated bodies, it will definitely be quite difficult for them to break through the rather heavy door.
"I'm opening the door. What are you all standing there for? Come and fight me!" Song Tantan beckoned to the bodyguards, signaling them to come forward and help.
Huh?
Should we save lives or kill people?
Saving lives is the priority, but accidents can happen at any time. We can't let the fake refugees into the inn first. The so-called fake refugees are those strong men who have banded together and formed gangs. These people have weapons and make a living by robbery and murder.
Not to mention robbing money, they often steal children to eat. Some people become addicted after tasting the meat and become increasingly pathological, not only eating children but also young girls.
In the first few days after she transmigrated, Song Tantan encountered cannibals. The Hu people and the starving refugees all knew how to eat people.
She had been unable to get over this matter and even went to the supermarket to look for books about the aftereffects of cannibalism. Besides the so-called retribution, was there a more scientific explanation?
Yes, the book says that eating human brains can cause kuru, a brain disease similar to mad cow disease, because our brains contain the prions that cause kuru.
It is unacceptable from both a moral standpoint and its inherent side effects; it goes against human ethics and the will of Heaven. Normal people would find it disgusting and horrifying, while only abnormal people would find cannibalism pleasurable.
As soon as the inn's door opened, a handful of medicinal powder was sprinkled on it, and a group of people rushing in instantly fell unconscious. As long as Song Tantan saw a greedy and wicked man with green eyes, he would kill him with a single blow.
She lit two torches and placed them at the entrance of the inn, so that she could see the scene outside clearly.
The refugees were divided into three categories. One category consisted of skinny refugees who were poorly dressed, empty-handed, and not very united.
Another group looked similar, but were in better spirits and their expressions were less apathetic. Among them were the elderly, children, women, and young men. The young men and women were carrying farm tools and standing back to back, protecting the elderly and children in the middle.
This group should be one of the families mentioned by the system. There are about thirty people in total. They seem to be a good group because they are very united.
There was another group of people, namely the burly men who rammed the door and surrounded a family with knives. These burly men not only had weapons, but they also all had round faces. In this kind of world, how could people who could eat and drink their fill, have fleshy faces, and have abnormal green eyes be good people? Aren't they just cannibalistic creatures?
A tall, burly man with a scar on his face held a large axe in his hand. His eyes bulged out as he glared, looking extremely fierce. He saw that his brothers who had broken down the door had been poisoned by an ugly woman, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Enraged, he pointed an axe at Song Tantan and cursed, "You hunchbacked, ugly woman, how dare you harm my brother! Today I will make you pay with your head! I will drink your blood and eat your flesh!"
It is intolerable that someone would dare to hurl such vile insults at her.
"You genetically mutated, bulging-eyed monster, you think you can scare your grandma with an axe? You freak who crawled up from the eighteenth level of hell, today I'll chop off your head and teach you a lesson!" Song Tantan pointed his knife at the sky, deliberately raising his voice to make everyone in the crowd's ears ring.
The person being cursed was the leader of the gang of thugs. He was so angry that he couldn't win the argument, so the only way to vent his anger was to rush up and chop the ugly woman down.
So the bulging-eyed giant and Song Tantan started fighting. Despite his abstract appearance, the man was quite skilled, and Song Tantan was not having an easy time dealing with him.
The others were initially stunned by the shouts and curses of the two men, but they only came to their senses when they heard the clash of blades and axes. The thug with the knife rushed forward, intending to eliminate the entire family.
Despite the family's tattered clothes and filthy faces, making them difficult to read, their sharp eyes immediately revealed that they were no ordinary people. The fact that the entire family had survived the ordeal unscathed and still had the energy to travel meant they must have hidden a considerable amount of silver and grain.
We must seize the money today, and we can't let the children go either, especially those two who are only four or five years old. They're so tender and delicious.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go help!" Ye Moxun reminded Bai Zhiyan and the bodyguards.
With such a commotion, the other镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) also came to the guest hall, armed and ready for battle. In the end, twenty of them went out to help, while the remaining fourteen guarded the镖箱 (escort boxes).
Bai Zhiyan's three guards and her sister also came downstairs. Bai Zhiyan told the guards to go with her to rescue people, and told Bai Zhiyi to go upstairs, "Sister, go upstairs, we don't need you here."
“But…” Bai Zhiyi was very worried and refused to leave.
"No buts, listen to me, go upstairs quickly." Swords can be dangerous at night, and she didn't want her sister to get hurt. She had promised her parents that she would take good care of her sister before she left home.
Finally, at her sister's insistence, Bai Zhiyi bit her lip, turned around, and went back upstairs.
The fight lasted for half an hour, and finally the twenty thugs were dealt with. Ye Moxun did not make a move from beginning to end, and his medicine powder was not used.
One of the bodyguards was seriously injured, but not in mortal danger. Ye Moxun promptly cleaned his wounds and gave him anti-inflammatory medicine.
The others sustained minor injuries of varying degrees, none of which were serious and could be treated with simple bandaging.
Song Tantan also had a cut on her arm. She was accidentally slashed while saving a child, but she killed the person who slashed her with a counterattack.
Those numb refugees had followed these two groups here, hoping to find something to loot, but instead of finding anything, they witnessed the burly thugs being slaughtered by a group of people.
They were just defenseless refugees. When the various factions clashed, they could only stand by and watch numbly. Who lived and who died was none of their concern. The only thing they cared about was getting food to fight for.
Looking at the dead bodies scattered on the ground, Song Tantan pondered for a moment and then said loudly to the expressionless refugees, "Whoever digs a pit and buries these people, I will give you food, three catties of coarse grains per person."
The refugees were quite opportunistic. Several emaciated men with sunken eyes rushed up and knelt in front of her. "Madam, we are so hungry that we can't walk. Could you give us some food first? After we eat, we will go dig a hole and bury people right away."
Song Tantan brandished the bloodstained knife and said in a cold, shrill voice, "Bury people first. You want to get benefits without doing the work first? Dream on. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll chop them down with one stroke. Don't think you can cause trouble just because you have more people. I have plenty of poison here."
When the inn opened its door just now, several burly men were poisoned and passed out. Everyone saw it. As soon as this was said, no one dared to say anything more and obediently went to dig the pit.
