[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 472 Protecting the Best Sister 14

Zhang Rulan looked at the overturned tables and chairs on the ground, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Little sister, are we going to stay here tonight?" Zhang Rulan asked, "I'm feeling a little uneasy!"

Li Mingzhu looked at the sky outside and estimated that it would rain heavily in the middle of the night. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's not safe to travel at night. Let's rest here for the night!"

Zhang Rulan nodded and went to move the things from the carriage.

Taking into consideration that they were two women, the coachman they assigned to them was a young man of fifteen or sixteen named Xiao Bing, who could avoid suspicion.

Xiao Bing tied the horse to a tree behind the house and fed it with the hay he brought with him.

Although there was no one in the room, Li Mingzhu did not go in and out at will. Instead, she set up a simple stove at the entrance of the main hall and took out a small pot she brought with her to boil hot water.

Zhang Rulan was not idle either. She took out a sesame cake, stuck it with chopsticks and put it on the fire to roast.

The three of them ate something casually. Li Mingzhu led the horse under the eaves and then closed the main hall door. The three of them began to rest.

In the first half of the night, it started to rain heavily outside.

Li Mingzhu stood up, opened the door a crack, and saw Ma Anjing standing under the eaves, so she felt relieved.

Zhang Rulan was awakened by Li Mingzhu's movements and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Li Mingzhu waved her hand, signaling Zhang Rulan to continue sleeping.

She threw a few sticks into the dying fire, watched it reignite, and closed her eyes to rest.

The rain outside was getting heavier. After an unknown amount of time, Li Mingzhu suddenly heard a strange noise.

There seemed to be...crying sounds?

Li Mingzhu quietly came to the door and looked around, but the view in the woods was dim and unclear.

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and Li Mingzhu's eyes widened instantly.

She saw clearly that there were more than a dozen people wearing straw raincoats outside, and some of them were carrying something on their shoulders.

"Get up quickly!"

Li Mingzhu quickly woke up Zhang Rulan and Xiao Bing: "Someone is coming outside!"

"Huh?" Xiao Bing wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, sat on the ground and rubbed his eyes: "Second Sister Li, who's here?"

Zhang Rulan had already seen the people outside, so she quickly got up and packed her things.

Xiao Bing went to the door and looked out through the crack.

"Ah!" He screamed, quickly covered his mouth, and pointed his trembling fingers outside, "Knife... There's a knife!"

Zhang Rulan's heart pounded upon hearing this. She quickly packed up her things and asked Li Mingzhu, "Little sister, what should we do?"

Li Mingzhu asked Zhang Rulan and Xiao Bing to go from the back of the house and quickly harness the carriage: "Sister, you and Xiao Bing get in the carriage and wait for me. Don't come back to find me!"

Zhang Rulan didn't ask any more questions, gritted her teeth and nodded, then took Xiao Bing and the package and walked to the back of the house.

Previously, Li Mingzhu fooled Zhang Rulan, Li's father and mother and others, saying that when she was still a wife of the Qiu family, she accidentally saved a female Taoist priest. The other party thought she was a genius and insisted on taking her as a disciple and teaching her kung fu.

Anyway, she fooled them in this way or that way, regardless of whether they believed it or not, and it was considered that she had made her ability known.

Well, she said the bright path is the bright path.

Li Mingzhu put out the fire and disappeared into the darkness.

The human voice came from far away.

"Fifth brother, you are a good cook. I want to eat grilled food later!"

"Sixth Brother, you don't understand. 'Rotten with bones' means the meat is tender and has fine skin, so it's best to steam it. 'Burning torch' means the meat is tough, so it's best to roast it!"

"Fourth brother, what about 'Buxiyang'?"

"Stew, of course!"

"Hahaha, fourth brother, you still know how to eat!"

Li Mingzhu's face turned pale as she listened to their conversation.

"He Gu Lan" refers to children, "Shao Huo Torch" refers to men and old people, and "Bu Xian Yang" refers to young women.

These are a group of man-eating evil spirits!

Li Mingzhu took out an axe from the system space, intending to kill them by opening the door.

The crowd was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, a man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face stopped.

He sniffed the air hard and said to a bearded man beside him, "Brother, I smell the scent of powder..."

Before the bearded man could say anything, a bald man shook the woman on his shoulder and said, "Fifth brother, could it be the smell of this woman on me?"

Lao Wu shook his head: "No, it's different from this woman."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man asked everyone to be quiet and move away. He then quietly stood behind the gate, holding his breath.

Li Mingzhu took everything in. She moved from behind the door to the side.

The bearded man winked at the others, then grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard.

"Crash!"

The wooden door collapsed inward instantly, stirring up a cloud of dust.

However, there was no one behind the door, only a smoking fire in the middle of the main room.

The bearded man gripped his sword tightly and slowly walked into the house.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew towards his neck, causing goose bumps.

He tilted his body and tried to dodge.

However, Li Mingzhu would not give him a chance. The axe moved as flexibly as a snake and chopped hard at the bearded man's neck.

"Pfft!"

The bearded man felt his gaze rising higher and higher.

Am I flying?

The bearded man heard a few screams and then fell into darkness.

"Big brother!"

The remaining people screamed, and before they could come to their senses, Li Mingzhu's axe was about to chop off their necks.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard, and heads flew everywhere.

The bald man threw the woman on his shoulder towards Li Mingzhu. Li Mingzhu flew over to catch her, put her on the ground, and threw the axe at the bald man with her backhand.

"puff!"

The tremendous force directly cut off half of the bald man's head, and brain matter mixed with blood splattered on the people around him.

"what!!!"

The others were terrified and had no desire to resist, so they rushed out.

Those who were carrying people threw them towards Li Mingzhu to buy more time to escape.

Li Mingzhu naturally would not let them go.

She took out a handful of steel needles from the system space and threw them out violently.

The steel needle passed through the back of those people's heads, leaving only a small red dot on their foreheads.

"Bah!"

Except for Lao Wu, everyone else paused and then fell to the ground.

Li Mingzhu knocked out Lao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, with a single blow of his knife. He then went to check on the others, making sure that everyone was dead, before dragging Lao Wu back.

These guys captured three people in total, two women and a child.

Their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips.

The child and one of the women were unconscious. After checking, Li Mingzhu found that they were just drugged and there was nothing wrong with them except some scratches.

The other woman was awake. She looked at Li Mingzhu in horror, her face pale, and she looked as if she would faint at any moment.

Li Mingzhu took the cloth out of her mouth and untied the ropes that bound her hands and feet.

"No... don't kill me..." The woman begged for mercy tremblingly.

Li Mingzhu relaxed her expression and said softly, "I'm just an ordinary passerby, don't be afraid."
