Chapter 93: A life is worth a life
Seeing the two girls blocking him, Ye Yanke was unhappy: "Are you trying to steal the credit?"
The plump Junior Sister Cai raised her eyebrows and said, "What kind of merit are you trying to steal? This snake's name is 'Xiaohong', and it is the mountain-protecting spirit beast raised by my Red Eyebrow Sect."
As soon as these words came out, all the old people in the village turned pale with shock, looked at each other, and were speechless.
Ye Yanke was startled: "So, you instigated this snake demon to come to the village to devour people?"
The tall Senior Sister Liu explained: "Of course not, it was Xiaohong who escaped down the mountain privately, came here to settle down, and then did something wrong."
Ye Yanke raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "It didn't just do something wrong, it ate many people and committed a serious crime."
Junior Sister Cai said dissatisfiedly: "That's because Xiaohong's intelligence is not yet sound and she is not sensible yet. It is just a snake, how can it know the difference? When it feels hungry, it is natural to eat. When we were on the mountain, what Xiaohong ate was... They are all high-quality animal meat and blood food.”
Ye Yanke's face turned red and he said angrily: "What do you mean, this snake monster eats people, is it still reasonable?"
Junior Sister Cai gave him a roll of her eyes: "Now, Xiaohong has eaten everything she has eaten. What else can she do?"
Ye Yanke took a step forward: "A murderer must pay for his life, just like a snake demon must pay for his life!"
"You dare!"
Junior Sister Cai gave a sweet scolding and came forward with her head held high. She turned her hand and found a black leather whip that was about ten feet long.
Ye Yanke didn't seem to be used to arguing with women. He stood there and scratched his neck: "Get out of my way, my sword is not sharp."
Junior Sister Cai snorted coldly: "What? Looking at you, do you want to kill me?"
"I won't kill you, only the snake demon."
"That won't work either."
When the two were in a stalemate, Senior Sister Liu came out and said: "Xiao Hong fled privately and made a big mistake. We, the Red Eyebrow Sect, are responsible for it. Now that the deal is done, it is useless to talk more. We should discuss a solution. .”
Ye Yanke felt that this woman's attitude was quite reasonable, so he asked: "How do you want to solve it?"
Senior Sister Liu's bright eyes turned and her gaze fell on him: "Who are you?"
Ye Yanke clapped his heavy sword in his hand and said: "A certain 'Ye Yanke' family is a knight in the rivers and lakes. Hearing that there is a demon in Datang Village, he came here to kill the demon."
Senior Sister Liu said "Oh": "Then you are not the sufferer."
Ye Yanke was speechless. He was indeed not the master of suffering. Those eaten by the snake demon were all people from Datang Village.
Senior Sister Liu said calmly: "If you are not the sufferer, please step aside and let me talk to the real sufferer."
With that said, he walked up to He Agui and others and gave a slight salute: "Red Eyebrow Sect disciple Liu Wan has met all of you, and that one is my junior sister Cai Mei."
He Agui and the others were immediately at a loss and quickly returned the gift.
Liu Wan glanced at her and said with dignity: "Here, I would like to first apologize to everyone on behalf of Xiaohong. It caused a big disaster and caused the village to suffer great losses. But as the saying goes: The dead have passed away, but the living should be remembered. Health. Therefore, I, the Red Eyebrow Sect, are willing to compensate every household in the village. This price is very reasonable. As for other injuries, we can also pay for it." >
Thirty guan means thirty taels. In this world, it is indeed not a small number. For example, the fishermen from the water town of Datang Village may not be able to save even ten thousand dollars after fishing all their lives, even after taking into account all kinds of expenses and taxes.
I can think of the children and even grandchildren who died tragically in Shekou...
The old people in Datang Village couldn't help but feel their hearts pierced by daggers, and their eyes welled up with tears.
They have lived here for generations, and although their lives are tight and quite miserable, at least they have a family, a house, and hope for life.
When the snake demon came, everything was destroyed.
No matter how much compensation you get, what's the point?
Liu Wan's eyes sparkled and she said loudly: "My dear husbands, there is no resurrection after death. With money, you can rebuild your home, and your relatives who are living outside can also come back. Isn't this a good thing? In addition, I The Red Eyebrow Sect can guarantee that such a thing will never happen again and will give Datang Village shelter.”
"If you can spend money to buy your life every time something happens, then this human life is too worthless."
Chen Jin suddenly said.
Liu Wan looked at him: "Who are you?" Chen Jin said calmly: "Chen Jin, a scholar rushing to take the exam."
"You're rushing to take the exam? Are you a scholar?"
"Not bad."
Cai Mei heard it later and shouted: "Isn't he just a poor scholar? This matter has nothing to do with you, so shut up and stop talking."
Liu Wan echoed: "Yes, Chen Xiucai, you are just a passerby and it has nothing to do with you."
Chen Jin chuckled and said: "Xia Ye saw injustice on the road and drew his sword to help; I can't see it either, so I wanted to voice my injustice."
Liu Wan sneered: "I am discussing with the sufferers. It is up to them to decide how to decide. What qualifications do idle people have?"
Then he looked at He Agui: "You are the village chief and you are highly respected. Please take the lead and say a word whether you agree with the compensation plan of our Red Eyebrow Sect. I would like to make a special statement here that we do not carry that much money with us and we have to go back. Later, I asked the headmaster for instructions and then sent the money.”
Faced with her condescending tone, He Agui felt angry and wanted to say "I don't agree." However, I looked at the elderly villagers around me, and at the ferocious snake demon...
He knew very well that neither he nor the entire village had the right to choose or refuse.

If you offend the Red Eyebrow Sect, how can you survive in the future?
Thinking of this, He Agui swallowed his anger and bitterness and said, "Fairy Liu, we have to discuss it."
Liu Wan nodded slightly: "Okay."
Cai Mei said impatiently: "Hurry up, it's getting dark, don't delay. Xiao Hong was seriously injured, and we have to take it back to the mountain for treatment as soon as possible. Also, my senior sister promised to pay so much money , We have done our best. If you want to raise the price, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
He Agui couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this.
But he soon let go.
At this moment, once you take a step back and relax, it will be difficult to be stubborn again.
Several people gathered together, discussed in low voices, and quickly reached an agreement. The result was no surprise: the only choice was acceptance.
Some people are also worried, what if the two women turn against each other and refuse to admit their guilt after taking the snake demon away?
But there's really nothing they can do about it.
Facing the Red Eyebrow Sect, ordinary villagers have little room for bargaining and can only hope that the other party will be trustworthy and benevolent.
Liu Wan was not surprised when she received the reply of "agree". From her point of view, this was an expected thing, so she had to take action with Cai Mei, first apply medicine to treat the snake demon, and then take it back to the mountain.
At this moment, Chen Jin stepped out: "You two, I forgot to tell you that I am also one of the sufferers."
Liu Wan was stunned: "Who are you?"
Chen Jin pointed to the bloody horse corpse on the ground: "This horse is mine."
Cai Mei snorted: "Ten dollars for such a horse is more than enough."
"My horse is a good horse for pulling carts."
"So what? I'll give you twenty guan, enough for you to buy two horses."
Chen Jin looked coldly: "I don't want money."
Chen Wan looked him over and asked, "What do you want?"
Chen Jin said word for word: "If you kill a person, you must pay for your life, and if you kill an animal, you must pay for your life. Horses are animals, and snakes are also animals. One life is worth one life!"
