Chapter 98 One thousand taels of silver!
Author: Famous God and Ghost
The war is over and the beast tide fades!
But corpses were already everywhere on the city walls, and the scene was like purgatory on earth.
There were countless casualties in the entire Changsheng Town, and only one-third of the warriors remained.
The elderly, weak, women and children are slightly better. They do logistics transportation and bandage treatment in the city. There are fewer beasts entering the city, and less than half of them are killed or injured.
After the war, there were sorrows everywhere, with sad faces, moans and screams everywhere.
Many people are rumbling over the bodies, looking for relatives, or... looking for property.
Moving the corpse is a huge process. The few remaining city guards and constables organized their hands with exhausted faces to classify the corpses. If someone claims them, they will register their identities and will have pensions in the future.
Most of the people who no one claimed were casual cultivators, and they could only burn them on the spot, dig holes and landfills to prevent the spread of the plague.
As for the corpses of beasts, these are valuable things, so they will naturally not corpses in the wilderness. They will also be collected and slaughtered overnight.
The whole city was busy, but no one showed a smile on his face, and more sadness, fatigue, and numbness.
This man has passed away, and the living must continue to live!
All night, the sound of funerals was endless, the city was covered with mourning, paper money was floating in the streets and alleys, and the sound of crying came from the houses. Those who heard it were sad, and those who saw it were crying!
The whole town was empty, with only a few pedestrians on the street passing by in a hurry, with fast pace and no communication between them.
Lin Bei was sitting in the house, and howling came from next door.
The three father and son of the Li family went one more time. Sadly, Li Fei, who had the most potential, died.
Death in the tide of beasts made Old Li feel heartbroken.
In the blacksmith shop, only half of the blacksmiths were left, and there was a hint of gratitude in his face.
Fortunately, I survived!
Jiang Dali, on the contrary, was bedridden due to his injuries. He escaped this disaster and allowed his son to take care of him.
I can only say that misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune!
Fate is a mysterious thing, and no one can truly understand it.
After visiting these two most familiar places, Lin Bei came to Yang's Medical Center.
The Yang Clinic was crowded and very lively, and the injured even lined up like a long queue.
Dr. Yang Xing was so busy that he was treating a patient's injuries.
As a doctor, he naturally did not go to the front line to fight the beast tide, but kept doing rescue work in the rear.
Lin Bei simply had nothing to do, so he stayed in the clinic to help, while saving lives and improving his medical skills.
His current medical skills are almost up to Dr. Yang Xing. After a while, he can consider searching for knowledge related to alchemy.
...
Time passed, and on the third day, many merchants brought batches of healing drugs to Changsheng Town. Before leaving, they pulled away a cart of beasts.
Two more days passed.
Someone knocked on Lin Bei's door.
"Haha, little brother, do you still remember me? I said I would like to invite you to have a good drink!"
The city guard commander smiled heroically, carrying good wine and meat, and stepped into Lin Bei's home.
"Young brother is really a dragon among humans. At a young age, he can already dominate the battlefield and compete with strange beasts in the dragon vein realm. It is admirable!"
The commander of the city guards was generous and praised, and the heartfelt feeling came from the heart.
"I really didn't expect that there was such a hidden dragon hidden in a small shallow like Changsheng Town."
The commander of the city guard suddenly poured a bowl of wine, smacked his lips, and gave Lin Bei a thumbs up.
Lin Bei is really too young, and he is very powerful in competing with the combat power of the Dragon Vein Realm at a young age. If he is given some time, he may not be much worse than the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List.
"I've won the award."
Lin Bei was humble and polite, but he didn't feel offended.
A man from the army who came from the city guard commander had a generous aura.
Lin Bei is quite happy to deal with such people, as long as they are not here to find fault.
He picked up a piece of strange beast meat and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
After learning from the commander of the city guard, he asked, "What's the matter with the commander coming this time?"
"Hey, I'll be polite to call the commander. Brother Yu Xu how old are you? If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Cui!"
The city guard commander waved his hand.
His real name is Cui Shanhe, and his rustic spirit has a sense of magnificence.
"Then I'll call you Brother Cui."
Lin Bei was not polite and asked directly: "But I don't know what happened to Brother Cui this time?"
Cui Shanhe poured a bowl of wine again and placed the wine bowl on the table, then he became more serious: "I came here to visit, and I want to thank my little brother for his rescue that day."
Lin Bei interrupted: "There is no need to thank you. On that day, Brother Cui killed the enemy bravely, which played a crucial role in the entire battle."
"That day I rescued my family was not due to personal affair, but also for the overall situation and for my own safety."
Lin Bei told the truth.
The battle situation was fierce that day. If the commander of the city guards died, he would be trapped in endless siege. The old guys hiding in the guard group would not come to rescue him.
"That's right, but one code becomes one code, and the grace of saving is the grace of saving."
Cui Shanhe said seriously: "I, Cui Shanhe, remember this kindness in my heart. If one day you can use me, just give me the order!"
He knew that the yellow and white thing on him might not be able to repay his kindness, so he directly gave Lin Bei a promise.
Changsheng Town has five forces, namely the four major families and the City Guards.
Among the four major families, except for the Lu family where the mayor Lu Anbo is located, the other three have a history of nearly a hundred years.
Under the leadership of the mayor Lu Anbo, the Lu family can mobilize the resources of the yamen constable, which is the strongest force.
In addition, it is the city guards.
This is an army specially equipped to prevent beast tides. It is not large in scale, but at least it is half a regular army.
The power is probably equal to the Lu family, and he is only nominally under the jurisdiction of Lu Anbo, but in fact the other party cannot control it at all.
Cui Shanhe, the commander of the City Guard Army, is his actual controller. With this power, he can be called the fifth force in Changsheng Town.
Therefore, his promise is worth a thousand gold in Changsheng Town!
But Lin Bei didn't agree with it. He felt that this kind of promise would be more cost-effective than giving some silver directly.
However, now he is not too short of money, so he doesn't speak up with shame.
"This is the second thing."
Before Lin Bei could speak, Cui Shanhe pondered for a moment and took out a stack of silver notes from his arms: "This is one thousand taels of silver, which is the reward for your military achievements this time."
One thousand taels of silver!
Lin Bei looked at the silver notes on the table and was happy, but he was not too surprised.
He fought bravely to kill the enemy, turned the tide, and killed so many strange beasts, and made great contributions to being the first.
And these strange beasts were sold to merchants by the government.
Of course, there is one of his.
One thousand taels of silver should be almost the same.
After he killed all sides on the battlefield and showed the strength of the number one person in Changsheng Town, he could basically predict that Lu Anbai and Cui Shanhe would not be able to deduct the money.
Now it seems that it is indeed as he expected!
