More than a dozen vicious bandits finally lost their breath under the repeated blows from many villagers.
The rich smell of blood filled the air, a strong chilling aura rushed towards the face, and the entire environment was deathly silent.
The villagers who took action held hoes and shovels in their hands, motionless, and their palms trembled slightly.
After all, he was killing someone. Even though he was facing a group of bandits, looking at the bloody corpse still made everyone feel sick.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the dead silence.
When everyone turned around, they saw several hunters in the village headed by Su Qi'an. They had been traveling all the way and looked a little tired.
Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly and hugged Qin Ziyin, who was standing still. Feeling the familiar smell coming from his body, Qin Ziyin, who was very strong just now, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Even the Orion wives who protected Qin Ziyin also sobbed softly when they saw their men returning safely.
As a prostitute, no matter how strong they are, they always have the support of their own men behind them.
Seeing Su Qi'an and other hunters returning safely, Village Chief Li also stepped forward quickly and said.
"I wish I could come back safely in time!"
Su Qi'an comforted Qin Ziyin a little, then turned to Village Chief Li and cupped his fists.
"The village chief and all the sisters-in-law can come forward to help Ziyin. Xiao Su would like to thank you all here."
"Hey, Xiao Su, what did you say? This is your duty. If you hadn't come back in time, what would have happened next would have been really unthinkable."
Village Chief Li waved his hand, looking apologetic.
Who knew that shopkeeper Guan was so bold as to ask the bandits to come down from the mountain? If Su Qi'an and the others had not come back in time and issued decisive orders, the villagers of Dongshan Village would have been in disaster.
Su Qi'an nodded and turned his eyes to Shopkeeper Guan. At this time, Shopkeeper Guan had long been frightened to death by the aura of shooting the bandits just now.
Lying on the ground, his body couldn't help shaking. The next moment, he used his hands and feet to crawl in front of Su Qi'an, knocking his head.
While knocking, he shouted, "Mr. Su, please forgive me, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although I invited the people, I really didn't know what they did."
"Please spare my life, Mr. Su. I was blinded by lard, and that's why I did this. Fortunately, Mr. Su rushed back in time and shot these damn bandits to death, thus clearing Guan's name. Guan is very grateful." All."
Su Qi'an looked at Guan Wu with a sneer, but felt a sigh in his heart. He was indeed in the coffin business, and his look at people was first-class.
In just a few words, he not only cleared up his relationship with the bandits, but also took advantage of the opportunity to flatter Su Qian.
Even if Su Qi'an wanted to ask questions, everyone was killed. No matter how big the fuss was, it was just death without evidence. It can be said that Guan Wu was able to advance and retreat freely.
Su Qi'an turned his eyes and said coldly, "Tsk tsk tsk, shopkeeper Guan is indeed a businessman. Su admires him. Since shopkeeper Guan has said so, it is indeed meaningless for Su to continue to embarrass him."
"Since Shopkeeper Guan wants to minimize the big deal, it's not impossible to do this today. Let's just take out ten taels and forget about it."
Guan Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked stunned, and the corners of his mouth were obviously twitching.
He had thought that Su Qi'an would use this to blackmail him, but he didn't expect that it would be so cruel.
For him, ten taels of silver was half a year's income. In addition to inviting these bandits down the mountain before, shopkeeper Guan would be able to work with them for at least a year this time.
It hurts to work for nothing for a year, but compared with life, what is this little money?
Guan Wu had no doubt that if he dared to hesitate for a moment, he would be beaten to death by these villagers without Su Qi'an opening his mouth.
He even dared to kill bandits. If Su Qi'an continued to encourage him with his words, he would be afraid that he would not be able to walk out of Dongshan Village alive when these villagers came forward.
After hesitating for a moment, shopkeeper Guan took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Su Qi'an respectfully.
Su Qi'an took it casually and threw the money bag in the air a few times. Feeling the weight of the money bag, he glanced at Shopkeeper Guan and waved his hand.
Shopkeeper Guan was overjoyed. He bowed his hand to Su Qi'an repeatedly, thanked him for a while, and then fled the place on both hands and feet.
Before Shopkeeper Guan had gone far, Su Qian's voice came to his ears, "Shopkeeper Guan, let me remind you, if you are in a hurry, don't take the main road. It's getting late, so there's no guarantee that nothing will happen."
"Guan understands, Guan thanks Master Su."
Shopkeeper Guan turned around and thanked her again and again, and then left Dongshan Village in a hurry under the gaze of everyone.
Many villagers felt a little sorry in their hearts when they saw Shopkeeper Guan leaving smoothly, but they were quickly taken over by reason.
They also understood Su Qi'an's intention. Killing shopkeeper Guan at once was indeed a relief.
But after all, Guan Wu has been in the coffin business for more than ten years, and he even knows the bandits. If he really kills him, it will be difficult to take revenge on Dongshan Village in the future based on the wealth left by his family.
After today's incident, these villagers are not fools. They can see that Su Qi'an is different.
Whether it was the ruthlessness of the attack just now or the decision he made, Su Qian's wisdom can be seen.
Anyone who dares to look at Su Qi'an in the same way as before is making a big mistake.
Everyone looked at Su Qi'an with a little awe.
Su Qi'an coughed a few times and took the lead in breaking the awkwardness in the air.
"Village Chief, Xiao Su made his own decision regarding today's matter. I hope the Village Chief will not blame you."
Village Chief Li waved his hand casually and said softly, "Xiao Su, there is no need to say anything like this. Everything in the village, big or small, is up to you. Do you have any opinions on this matter?"
Village Chief Li turned his eyes, and the other villagers shook their heads, but no one refused.
Village Chief Li is indeed an old man. He took the opportunity to smooth things over and tie Su Qi'an to Dongshan Village. Everyone can see Su Qi'an's potential in the future. As long as everyone helps him well, Su Qi'an will be a good person in the future. , at least it’s okay to have enough food and clothing.
Su Qi'an nodded without any intention of shirk. Ever since he was reborn through time travel, he initially wanted to rely on his cleverness to settle down in Great Liang.
But after the current incident with bandits, Su Qi'an understood that if he wanted to truly gain a foothold in Great Liang and survive well, he had to have a group of people and even armed forces to support him.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. You have to eat your meal one bite at a time, and your plan must be implemented step by step.
Su Qi'an bowed respectfully to the many villagers, and then said, "Since the village chief and the villagers think so highly of Xiao Su, then Xiao Su will claim it."
"The first thing to do when managing Dongshan Village is to donate the twelve taels rewarded by the shopkeeper this time to the Orion villagers who were killed and injured by the big insect. Do you have any opinions?"
As soon as these words came out, all the villagers were shocked, and everyone was shocked by Su Qi'an's generosity.
After all, the big insect coming down the mountain this time was completely a natural disaster, and the casualties among the Orion villagers were unpredictable.
To put it bluntly, the death of these hunters is inherently risky. At most, the village will exchange some money and take care of the funeral. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with the village.
But Su Qi'an didn't keep any of the twelve taels he got and donated all of them. Such a kind act would be impossible for a villager to do if he asked himself.
Su Qi'an's actions not only warmed the hearts of the widows of the dead Orions, but also moved the Orions in the village such as Li Hu, Zhao Da, Shui Sheng, and Tieniu.
Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Su Qian announced the second order.
"This time, I and Li Hu and four other hunters hunted down the big bug for two days. After delivering the big bug's carcass to the county government, we received the bounty. Half of the money was used as the hunters' pension, and the remaining half was used as compensation for the hunters. Li Hu shared it equally among the four."
As soon as these words came out, Li Hu and the others immediately refused.
"Master Su, we can't do this. If it weren't for Master Su's command, we wouldn't be able to control this big insect at all."
"Li Hu is right. We Orions appreciate Mr. Su's kindness, but the bounty of this big insect must not be distributed like this."
"I propose that half of the bounty go to Mr. Su, and the remaining half should be used as a pension for Orions, and the rest will be divided among the four of us."
"I agree with this. Mr. Su, please don't shirk it. If you shirk it, you're just slapping us in the face."
"That's right, Xiao Su, this matter is settled like this, there is no need to talk about it anymore."
Next to him, Village Chief Li also gave advice.
Seeing everyone speaking like this, Su Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After settling the biggest issues, Su Qi'an and Village Chief Li gave a few words about the bandits.
After all, he was killing bandits, and what he had to do was to keep the news secret. Once the news leaked out, the Dongzi Mountain bandits would inevitably retaliate.
This news is a top priority and should not be taken lightly.
Village Chief Li naturally knew the importance of the matter and took it to heart. The villagers were not fools either. After being warned, they quickly took action to quickly collect the corpses of these bandits.
There was just one thing, but Li Hu was still unhappy in his heart.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Hu did not leave. Just when he was about to speak to Su Qi'an, he was interrupted by Su Qi'an.
"Li Hu, I know what you are worried about. The best thing to do is to leave things behind. Don't worry, shopkeeper Guan won't survive tomorrow."
"Sir, could it be you?" Li Hu was startled and looked at Su Qi'an who was smiling leisurely in surprise.
Su Qi'an said softly, "Li Hu, do you think that the trap I asked you to arrange before we returned was in vain?"
"If Shopkeeper Guan is smart, he will almost reach Huangquan Road."
Su Qi'an said it very lightly, as if the matter was of no importance, but in Li Hu's eyes, it made Li Hu's back shiver.
For the first time, he felt that Su Qian was so invisible to him that he even felt like a cold light was hanging down his back.
Mr. Su, who came back from the gate of hell, was so terrifying. He followed one link after another. This terrifying scheme really frightened Li Hu.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an is their husband. Being targeted by such a person would be really troublesome.
"As expected of you, sir, you are a wise man."
After a brief exchange of words, Li Hu also left quickly.
