Chapter 1398 Famine and Natural Disaster 556
What's more, they were cold and hungry, and after eating, they would inevitably covet the luggage they brought with them.

Mingyi frowned slightly, looking at the refugees gathered around the campfire, who ignored the boiling water, opened the pot lid and fished out food with their bare hands. She felt reluctant in her heart.

The Central Plains has been in chaos and disaster for five years. It is not easy for them to survive until now.

However, Chaosheng had issued an order not to accept people from the Central Plains, not even ordinary people; these people smuggled in through the mountain paths and looked like refugees. Was there not a single spy among them?
She couldn't tell.

These people had dirty faces and their features could not be seen clearly, but the aura of sin around them was particularly strong.

It made her feel very repulsive and even a little disgusted.

"Brother Yu, Brother Li, kill them all."

The light words were like a reassurance to the guards.

"Yes! Miss Cheng, please stay away from me." Guard Yu signaled Mingyi to step back.

After receiving the order, Guard Li took the lead and rushed forward with a knife, slashing a man on the back.

"what"

The blood splattered bright red, and the color was dark red.

A normal person has abundant Qi and blood, and when he is cut, blood will spurt out two feet high. However, the blood brought out by Guard Li's knife was not abundant, which should be related to their insufficient Qi and blood.

They are very weak in body, with insufficient blood and dark blood, which means that their bodies are extremely unhealthy.

He was already weak, and after one blow, he died without the need for a follow-up blow.

However, this action alarmed the refugees. Some of them were holding rice or vegetables in their hands, and they retreated back and forth with fear on their faces.

"do not come."

"No, don't kill me."

"You powerful people trample on our common people, and you will be punished sooner or later."

The refugees were terrified and kept cursing in their panic.

The guards didn't care what they said, they just rushed forward and hacked and killed them, causing them to collapse and scatter in an attempt to escape.

The sixteen guards each guarded a route, and the refugees could not escape even if they wanted to, but they were all cleared out in the end.

The scene was bloody, with corpses lying all over the place. The pots were stained with blood; the bonfire was splattered with bright red blood.

Mingyi slightly lifted a corner of his cloak hat and took a look indifferently; he silently recited a passage from the Jiejiao's salvation scripture, which did not guarantee that they could be reborn, but they would definitely go to the underworld.

These people have committed serious sins, and the aura of their karma is too strong. Having traveled through so many worlds, she has rarely seen such sinful people. This time, she actually saw a group of them at once. Has her luck been affected?

Probably not?
The fortune of a great saint cannot be influenced by the small world.

"Dig a hole and bury them, away from the road. The pot can't be kept, bury it with them." After Mingyi finished speaking, Chunmei helped her back to the carriage.

Guard Yu watched them enter the carriage, turned around to see the body on the ground, and called Guard Li, "Dig a big hole farther away and bury it. After that, we can continue our journey."

"Okay, Brother Yu will look after the carriage here, we will be ready soon."

"I know. Just be quick and come back quickly."

"clear."

After killing people, Guard Li led his men to dig a big pit more than a thousand meters away from the fork in the road. They threw all the bodies of the refugees into the pit and filled it with soil. After they were done, they also casually arranged it with withered weeds on the roadside to prevent anyone from noticing any clues.

As for the bloodstains on the road, use the sword to dig some mud and sand to cover them; the road surface is now hard, and when it snows, no one will be able to see the bloodstains after it is covered.

When the spring comes next year, the ice and snow will melt, the snow water will be diluted, and the blood will dissolve and merge with the land. "Let's continue our journey!"

Everything was properly handled, nothing was left behind that shouldn't have been left behind, and a team of people escorted the carriage forward.

When you are hungry, you can eat some dry food; when you are thirsty, there is a bottle of water.

We arrived at the house in Pingyangguan before dusk.

"Miss Cheng, we're here. Please get off the carriage."

Chunmei opened the carriage door and walked out first. After jumping off the carriage, she and the coachman brought the horse stool and helped the master who came out later to get down.

"Master, watch your step."

Mingyi stepped on the stool and walked down, taking an inconspicuous look at the place where she had lived for several months; coming back again, she felt so familiar with it.

Guard Yu stood beside her and bowed, saying, "Miss Cheng, you and Miss Chunmei go in first. Your subordinates will take the carriage to the stable."

"Okay, later you can check what food is in the kitchen and make some to fill your stomach. If you don't eat well on the road, you should always eat enough when you get home. If you want to eat something, just make it yourself as long as there are ingredients in the kitchen. Don't mistreat yourself."

Out of her heart, she didn't want them to treat her badly; she simply gave them a few words of advice, but they deeply moved Yu Shiwei and the others.

However, she did not see how moved they were. After giving the instructions, she took Chunmei straight to the gate. Chunmei unlocked the door, and they all walked in.

There was a layer of fallen leaves and dust in the yard. No one had cleaned it for a long time and it looked desolate.

"Master, hasn't the prince come back? The yard is too desolate." Chunmei followed beside her, looking surprised and looking around.

Mingyi shook his head, "Your prince came back for the war. The war situation was urgent, so it's normal that he never came back."

"That's what you said."

Chunmei responded and accompanied her into the inner courtyard.

The inner and outer courtyards are the same, with fallen leaves everywhere. It has been uninhabited for a long time and is deserted.

"Master, please stand outside for a while. I'll come to clean up." As she said this, she walked towards the side room. After a while, she brought out a wooden bucket and a fluffy but clean towel.

She walked out and saw Mingyi had not left and was still standing there. A feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.

"Master, why are you still standing here? It's very dusty here. Please stay outside for a while. I'll finish cleaning, then you can come in."

"No need, let's clean together and finish it early." He said as he walked towards her.

Chunmei said in panic: "Master, you can't move. I will do the dirty work."

"Well, it's not like we haven't cleaned up before, and you still have to cook later."

She insisted on helping, and Chunmei finally couldn't persuade her. While she was working, she felt uneasy and looked up at her from time to time. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched, because the master she followed was the best master in the world.

They are willing to help with even things like cleaning and put themselves in her shoes; even when she is traveling, it is often the master who takes care of her.

It took them half an hour to clean the yard and several side rooms. After cleaning, it was like wiping away the dust on their minds. They felt a great sense of accomplishment and their hearts were clean.

"Master, please take a rest. I'll boil some water for you to wash." After she finished speaking, Chunmei hurriedly left with the dirty bucket, feeling as if she was running away.

Ming Yi saw it all, and as he looked at her disappearing back, he shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "Why are you running so fast? Just don't compete with her for this last bit of work."

I guess it scared her.

The more contributions she made to the Northwest, the higher the status people around her placed her in, and it became difficult to have the casual and relaxed time they had before.

It's not like she had not done cleaning work before, but Chunmei and Chunxi had never done it like this.
