Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Man-eating Beast
The next second, the man on the right, who was holding a little girl, fell to the ground as blood spurted out from his neck. He didn’t even have time to scream before he died. Seeing this scene, everyone else was shocked and froze in their places. Before they could react, Xuan Ruiquan’s sword had already slashed the necks of three more people.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Seconds later, three more men joined their comrade and took their last breaths. Seeing this scene, the leader of the group finally came to his senses.

He threw away the child in his hand and shouted, “How dare you kill my brothers! I will kill you!”

The child was thrown to the side and shouted in fright.

“Ah!”

When Duan Yixin saw this, she quickly ran to the child and caught him before he hit the wall. However, due to the child’s weight and the throwing force, Duan Yixin was knocked into the wall when she caught the child.

“Uh…” Feeling the pain on her back, she let out a soft groan and slid to the floor with the child in her arms.

Xuan Ruiquan’s face darkened when he saw this. He looked at the man who had thrown the child as if he were a dead man. When the leader saw Xuan Ruiquan’s expression, he felt a chill down his spine, but he still rushed toward Xuan Ruiquan.

“Brothers, he is alone! Let’s attack together!” The leader shouted, and the others followed suit.

“Yes, Lao Da!”

When Duan Yixin finally raised her eyes after checking the child’s condition, she saw a group of men rushing toward Xuan Ruiquan. Her heart tightened, and she shouted anxiously, “General Xuan, be careful!”

As soon as her words fell, Xuan Ruiquan disappeared from there. The next second, what Duan Yixin saw was blood spurting out like rain from the necks of those men.

“Ugh!”

“Akh!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Xuan Ruiquan, who appeared on the other side, looked back at the people lying on the ground with blood dripping from his sword. When Duan Yixin saw Xuan Ruiquan’s cold expression, she finally realized that the man in front of her was a man who lived on a bloody battlefield.

Duan Yixin came back to her senses when she saw Xuan Ruiquan calmly flicking the blood off his sword and turning to look at her. She took a deep breath to calm down and then lowered her head to smile at the frightened child.

“Little friend, are you alright?” She asked.

After hearing her question, the child finally came to his senses and cried. Duan Yixin patted the child’s back gently and said, “Don’t be afraid. Everything is fine now.”

When Duan Yixin comforted the child, Xuan Ruiquan frowned as he looked at her but said nothing. When he walked up to her, the children began to cry one after another. Xuan Ruiquan suddenly had a headache when he heard the children’s cries. He would rather kill his enemies on the battlefield than face a bunch of crying children.

He looked at Duan Yixin and asked helplessly, “Xin’er, can you tell them not to cry?”

After hearing his question, Duan Yixin thought for a moment and said, “Little friends, aren’t all of you hungry? Elder Sister will give you steamed buns, but you can’t cry.”

As soon as the children heard that they could eat steamed buns if they didn’t cry, they stopped crying and nodded obediently. After the children stopped crying, Duan Yixin and Xuan Ruiquan breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest child pulled Duan Yixin’s sleeve and said, “Elder Sister, my younger brothers and younger sisters are all inside.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Then let’s go see how they are doing.”

Under the guidance of the children, Duan Yixin and Xuan Ruiquan walked into the main building of the small courtyard. Before Duan Yixin could step into the main building, Xuan Ruiquan blocked her way and said, “Don’t come in.”

Smelling the strong smell of rust in the air, Duan Yixin’s heart sank. She looked at the children and asked, “Little friends, can all of you wait outside?”

The children nodded, and then she handed them the steamed buns and asked, “How about you eat them first while Elder Sister and Elder Brother look around?”

The eldest child took the package and said, “Thank you, Elder Sister.”

After speaking, he took the other children to the front yard and distributed the steamed buns equally. While the children were eating, Duan Yixin looked at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “General Xuan, what’s wrong?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at the bodies of the children in the room and found that most of the children’s body parts were missing. Some even have only a little bit of flesh residue left on the bones. Their deaths were caused by severe bleeding and torture. Looking at the marks of knife cuts on their bodies, Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes turned cold.

This situation was not unfamiliar to him. He had encountered many similar situations when he was guarding the northern border. However, he never expected that he would encounter those man-eating beasts in this small town.

Xuan Ruiquan clenched his sword and said, “Xin’er, we need to report this matter to the government before leaving this town. I’m afraid there are many people like those men hiding in this town.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin nodded and said, “All right. After we deal with the children, we can report this matter to the government.”

After making the decision, Duan Yixin fed the children and checked their pulse. She was relieved to see that they were just hungry and not infected with the plague. Fifteen minutes later, the children finished their meal and they left the dilapidated courtyard.

When they came back, Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru smelled the smell of blood on their bodies. Chi Xinru quickly checked on Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin Xin, has something happened? Are you alright?”

Duan Yixin held Chi Xinru’s hands and said, “I’m fine. But we need to go to the Yamen to report something and let them take care of these children.”
