Chapter 45 Aftermath
Everyone who stayed in the valley heard Cui Xing's loud voice. They quickly calculated in their minds how many taels there were in total. After roughly counting, everyone's eyes began to shine when they looked at the bandits.
This is all free money!
Suddenly, many more people said "come and help" and participated in the task of picking up the body of the bandit.
When Cui Xing rushed to Wen Yu, he hurriedly put the banknote into Wen Yu's hand, turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for her to say anything.
There is still money waiting for you!
Wen Yu shook her head in amusement and continued to go to Xu Laoer to discuss the pension.
Everyone was forced to accept these two battles, and they were in a hurry. We were lucky to survive, and we didn't think about anything else.
But according to the storyteller, there were hundreds of bandits in this group. When they found that the dozens of bandits they sent out were missing, they would definitely send people out again, and by then the number of enemies would be even greater.
We need to set a rule from now on. If someone dies in battle, the village will take good care of their family members and provide certain compensation benefits to prevent them from being timid in fighting in the future.
Although Xu Laoer divided all the tasks, he himself was too busy to get rid of the collected horses. None of them knew how to ride a horse, and how could they have a dedicated horse for a team fleeing from famine?
The horse of the army.
If there are reliable people who can choose to sell it, but they don't, if they sell it rashly, there is a high probability that the enemy will follow suit and catch them all.
The best way is to kill and eat the meat.
Xu Laoer was also heartbroken about this, but he believed that there would be money and horses.
The body of the bandit cannot be left there forever. Someone has to dig a hole and bury it. This place is not too far from Yanmen City, and the thick smoke produced by the fire will inevitably be discovered.
Finding a suitable place to bury a body that is not easily discovered is another laborious and time-consuming task.
When Boss Xu brought the remaining people back, he had to arrange for people to prepare meals first. Everyone's minds and bodies had been tense for such a long time, and then they had to deal with the battlefield. Basically, everything they had eaten for lunch had been digested.
Then he had to find someone to transport the bandit's armor to be washed. Xu Laoer also had to think of a way to hide the armor without being discovered when he was on the road in two days.
Although all kinds of affairs were complicated, they just aroused Xu Laoer's anger. He didn't believe that he couldn't handle it!
Wen Yu finally found Xu Laoer who was busy in a group.
"Uncle Xu Er, ah, no, Jing Liang." Wen Yu felt weird saying it, but in the face of Xu Lao Er's calm eyes, he continued, "I want to talk to you about the pension issue for the villagers who died in the war."
Xu Laoer happened to be looking for Wen Yu for something. After the two discussed a temporary charter on the issue of war care, Xu Laoer changed the subject.
"Miss Wen, do you think these bandits are really bandits?"
Although they have always been called bandits, their sophisticated weapons, armor with few scratches, and disciplines all reveal their differences from ordinary bandits.
Wen Yu learned part of the information from the storyteller and replied, "Whether they are ordinary bandits or not, here they can only be bandits here."
"We don't know the rest!"
Xu Laoer understood what Wen Yu meant and nodded, "Yes, they are bandits."
At present, the goal of the fleeing people is to go south to find a foothold, and they have no intention of participating in these complex conspiracies. No matter what this group of people is planning, the fleeing people can and can only think of them as bandits.
"How long does it take for you to finish processing this?"
Wen Yu asked Xu Laoer that she wanted to enter the city as soon as possible. If Xu Laoer couldn't finish the matter tomorrow, she would have to go into the city alone first.
Xu Laoer looked stern and straightened his back.
"It can be done today!"
Wen Yu, who had nothing to do and was alone, went to the most crowded place - the pile of bandit corpses. Here were people who wanted to pick out the banknotes like Cui Xing. But unfortunately, except for the bandit leader, no one else had a penny on them.
No.
The luggage on my back was also full of hard pancakes and a few pieces of dried meat, which only tasted salty.
Wen Yu did not squeeze into the crowd, but took a few glances from the outside. With sharp eyes, she spotted Chen Datie standing in the corner outside the crowd.
Due to the exertion of carrying the corpse, the wound on his shoulder split open and a little blood oozed out again.
Because Chen Datie is alone and usually doesn't like to talk, he has few friends except Cui Xing. At this time, Cui Xing was busy in the treasure hunt game and ignored Chen Datie, so that he was taciturn and had a very low sense of presence. He huddled in the corner, even with his wounds.
Neither is processed.
Wen Yu frowned, how could this work?
"Uncle Wang, please finish your work. There is another injured person here!"
Wen Yu directly brought Dr. Wang Lang to Chen Datie and acted directly without giving him a chance to object.
"Uncle Big Iron, only by being in good health can you kill more enemies and protect the people you want to protect."
I don't know what words touched Chen Dati. He originally didn't want to let Wang Lang freeze the wound and let him clean it and stop the bleeding.
"Oh - so much blood!"
"Master, are you injured?!!"
"father!"
"girl!"
The old and weak women who had been hidden in the mountains have returned, as well as the five people who followed Wen Yu back from Yanmen City.
For a time, the valley became lively, with some exclaiming, some boasting and talking, some lamenting, and some nervously asking questions.
Wen Yu heard someone calling her and saw that it was Ah Tang and the other five, and said, "I will return to the city tomorrow and pay you the rest of your wages then."
After hearing this, Ah Tang did not agree as happily as before. Instead, he pursed his lips and thought about something.
Wen Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Ah Tang raised his head and asked Qiqi Ai Ai, "Girl, can I go with you? I have the strength and can serve you. I don't need any wages. I just need to give you some food every day!"
For her, instead of returning to Yanmen City to continue living half-dead and die without anyone knowing one day, it would be better to follow Wen Yu and the others.
Although she didn't specifically see what happened in the past two days, judging from the results, they were all very capable people. Moreover, when Ah Tang and others were hiding in the mountains, they deliberately approached to inquire about the news. Her intuition told her that this was the case.
The people's hearts are not bad.
This is your second chance!
The first time was in Sweet Mouth Alley, and she caught it. The second time, she also wanted to give it a try and catch it!
Wen Yu moved his eyes to the other four, "Is this what you mean by not talking?"
He said very little, but he was the first to nod, "I want to follow you too!"
The same goes for Lao Miao and Lao Tu. Only Lao Ma shook his head and said, "I want to go back to Yanmen City."
After saying that, he looked at Wen Yu warily, "I'm leaving, will you keep silent?"
Wen Yu looked surprised, "How could it be possible? We are honest people."
Lao Ma turned his head slightly and saw the corpse of the bandit that had not yet been disposed of in the valley.
An honest person who kills people without blinking an eye?
"However," Wen Yu added, "in order to ensure that you do not expose us, we must make an oath."
"Swear?" Lao Ma sneered in his heart, would anyone believe a verbal oath these days?
"That's right, I will take you to make an oath of heaven. Once you violate the agreement, you will die."
Wen Yu looked serious, which made Lao Ma feel uneasy. What kind of oath of heaven was so evil?
"No problem." He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Under Wen Yu's guidance, Lao Ma finished reading the oath word for word. When the last word fell, a thunder suddenly fell in the clear summer sky.
"Boom!"
Lao Ma trembled, raised his head suddenly, and began to feel doubtful in his heart, and did not dare to try the consequences of violating the oath.
"Okay, you can rest first. As for the ones you four want to stay, it will take a period of observation. If you don't agree, you can still regret it now and make an oath to heaven."
"I stayed!"
"Leave!"
The four people expressed their attitudes one after another and were determined to stay here.
Wen Yu asked these people to see the good mule carts, and asked Xu Laoer to find a few spiritual people to follow them and learn how to drive the carts, trying to learn a little bit.
Determined not to waste every opportunity to develop and strengthen villagers.
