C626 Village Chief



C626 Village Chief

Tuoba Tian'er took a deep breath and smiled.    

    

"Yes, this time when we came out, our injuries were not light. After all, this criminal is really too difficult to catch. When the two of us came out, we originally thought that it would be foolproof. Who would have thought that we would almost lose our lives."    

    

Before the village chief could say anything, Dada hurriedly moved closer.    

    

He told them all about how he was going to meet them, about the current situation of the 'criminal', and how he was going to receive the reward.    

    

The reason he was so enthusiastic was because he only said that he could get twenty percent of the reward for saving the 'prisoner'.    

    

Thirty percent of the reward would be taken by him.    

    

The village chief could easily guess what he was thinking with a slight frown.    

    

However, he did not expose it.    

    

Instead, he asked curiously, "20% of the reward? How much can it be?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er laughed and said, "Uncle, outsiders don't know the rules of this kind of catching of criminals. After all, only people like us who eat official food can come into contact with the rewards. Some are very little, but some are so much that ordinary people can't even imagine it. "    

    

What she said was reasonable and reasonable, and she arranged this matter very appropriately.    

    

And now, on the surface, she was talking about the arrest of the criminal.    

    

But in reality, she was expressing an attitude.    

    

In other words, this criminal would only receive a reward if they sent him back, and no one else would have such an opportunity.    

    

Why did she reveal this information?    

    

This was to prevent the people of Five Poisons Village from suddenly causing mischief and greed. They wanted all the reward. If that was the case, they would think of a way to kill Leng Yueling and Tuoba Tian'er first, and they would go and claim credit for it.    

    

With just one sentence, it blocked off the greed of the other party.    

    

The village chief raised his eyebrows slightly.    

    

However, he acted as if he didn't understand.    

    

He nodded and said, "Then how much reward will you get if you chase after this criminal? If we save him, we will get 20%. How much can we get? After all, if I can't even save a thousand-year-old Gold Beetle, then if I use some tricks... It's going to cost a lot."    

    

Tuoba Tian'er was overjoyed in her heart.    

    

It seemed that the other party had a certain amount of confidence when he said that.    

    

As for the price...    

    

It was none of her business.    

    

Now, she had to give a price, a price that the other party could not refuse!    

    

She smiled lightly and said very proudly: "This criminal is at the top of the wanted list. It is clearly written on it that if he dies, the reward will be 100 taels. If he is alive, the reward will be 3,000 taels"    

    

The village chief said, "Three thousand? If it is twenty percent, it will be six hundred taels of silver. It is not a small amount... "    

    

He even carefully calculated and then said, "With these six hundred taels, the winter for the next few years will be much easier."    

    

Tuoba Tian'er was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at the village outside and frowned." Uncle, I didn't expect that your village would look tattered but the cost is really not small. "    

    

"What do you mean?"    

    

The village chief was a little unhappy.    

    

Tuoba Tian'er said, "Six hundred taels of gold is enough for a small city. Tens of thousands of people will live for a few years, but your small village can only last for a few winter... Tsk tsk, your spending is a little too much, isn't it?"    

    

Phew!    

    

The village chief suddenly stood up from his seat.    

    

His speed was so fast that it caused a strong gust of wind.    

    

A sound was heard.    

    

This kind of action was not something that an old and useless person could do.    

    

Tuoba Tian'er's brows suddenly wrinkled and she hurriedly took a step back. She said in a deep voice, "You are..."    

    

"Oh..."    

    

The village chief was stunned for a moment. Then, with an awkward smile, he slowly sat down again.    

    

However, the action of sitting down was obviously a little shaky.    

    

He did not hide it, nor did he feel embarrassed.    

    

"I thought it was six hundred taels of silver, he said. I thought it would be a huge sum. I didn't expect it to be gold... country bumpkins, I've never seen so much money in my life. I couldn't help but lose my composure. I hope you won't blame me. "    

    

Tuoba Tian'er suddenly understood and heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled bitterly and said," So that's how it is. Indeed, ordinary people heard this number. They would naturally be surprised to lose their composure. Actually, it was even for some wealthy families. In her lifetime, she was afraid that she had never seen so much money. Hehe. Just like I said before, the reward from the government... Sometimes, it's beyond the imagination of others..."    

    

Speaking up to this point, Tuoba Tian'er sighed, "I originally planned to do it well. After finishing this vote, my companion and I can live a carefree life for the rest of our lives. We don't have to live in the wild all over the world anymore. But I did not think that during the process of capturing, I would accidentally injure the other party too badly. The 3000 gold taels in my hands suddenly became 100 gold taels. It is really hard to accept... "    

    

"Esteemed guest, there is no need to worry. Since we have arrived here, it is fate. This old man will not allow that kind of wasteful thing to happen!"    

    

The village chief immediately perked up.    

    

Originally, he wanted to ask about the specifics.    

    

He wanted to find out more about it.    

    

After all, in his opinion, Dada was just a child.    

    

It was very easy to be deceived.    

    

But...    

    

With such a huge benefit in front of him, how could he have the time to think about other things?    

    

Even if he was cheated, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would not give up on such a thing.    

    

The village chief said, "Bring him in, this old man will take a good look..."    

    

Speaking up to this point, he immediately added, " Oh, I don't need to trouble this esteemed guest to do this kind of thing. Dada, why don't you bring him in? You still want our esteemed guest to do the work?"    

    

Dada hurriedly agreed and ran out excitedly.    

    

Very quickly, he carried Xiao Yun in and placed him on the bed that seemed to make people have no desire to lie down.    

    

The village chief stood up and walked to Xiao Yun's side. His two fingers formed a seal and he followed the direction between Xiao Yun's eyebrows.    

    

At this moment.    

    

A group of black insects rushed out from the wide sleeves of the village chief.    

    

It was as if a dam had been opened and a flood had been released. It was as if there was no end to it.    

    

The black insects quickly wrapped around Xiao Yun's body and wriggled continuously. It looked extremely frightening.    

    

In particular, those insects all had bright armor on their backs, making them look even more terrifying.    

    

Although Tuoba Tian'er had courage, she was still a girl after all. She was most afraid of these kinds of snakes, insects, and mice. Her fine hairs immediately stood on end and she was left speechless.    

    

If not for her mental fortitude being sufficient, she would have hurriedly escaped from this room.    

    

The village chief narrowed his eyes, as if he had some kind of communication with these insects.    

    

He shook his head for a moment, then nodded.    

    

After a while, he turned around and said with a soft laugh: "There is still some time. If the honored guest is tired, you can rest at the side for a while. I will get someone to prepare the dishes for the honored guest"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er smiled and said, "There is no need for the food. We still have some."    

    

As she spoke, she said to Dada, "Please go to the carriage and ask that elder sister to bring out some bacon."    

    

"Okay!"    

    

When he heard the word bacon, Dada was extremely excited.    

    

He pulled his sister and rushed out.    

    

He thought very well. Since he was going to get it, he would have to deduct some from it. He would just treat it as an errand fee.    

    

However, Leng Yueling only gave him a leaf package. Although it did not look small, he could not take the leaf apart first and deduct some in front of others, right?    

    

So he returned to the house with a disappointed face. He handed the bacon to Tuoba Tian'er and stood by the side honestly. He did not plan to leave at all.    

    

Tuoba Tian'er also did not poke him.    

    

She only asked him to ignite the bonfire and then carry the small wooden stool to sit beside the bonfire.    

    

She opened the leaves.    

    

It was one of the bear paws that Xiao Yun had moved into the car earlier.    

    

He didn't open the mud seal inside, but placed the whole thing in the bonfire and roasted it.    

    

Not long after, the soil cracked due to the dry soil. A rich fragrance drifted out from the crack, making the room filled with mold smell good all of a sudden.    

    

The village chief was controlling the worms when he suddenly twitched his nose and turned his head abruptly. He asked in shock, "This thing, is it a bear paw?!"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er smiled and said, "Uncle, have you eaten it before?"    

    

"Tsk tsk..."    

    

The village chief licked his lips and smiled, "I ate once many years ago. There are too few bears around the village. How many years has it been since I last saw one bear? The village will not catch one... Eh? No, the smell was not right. Why was there another smell inside? Why is it so sweet?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er smiled and said," This is a secret technique that has only recently become popular in the capital. It uses some special seasoning and brought some along during this trip. It is rare to encounter such a rare item like the bear's paw so naturally it must be used on it. "    

    

"Oh, oh! So that's how it is. "    

    

The village chief acted as if he had just realized something, and he couldn't help but gulp.    

    

Suddenly, with a shake of his arm, those bugs retreated back into his sleeve.    

    

"It's cured? "    

    

Tuoba Tian'er quickly asked.    

    

The village chief laughed and said, "How can it be so fast? This old man only checked the injuries... En, this child is probably extraordinary. No wonder he can rank first on the wanted list, no wonder he's worth so much!"    

    

" Oh?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er asked curiously, "How did Uncle see through it?"    

    

"Hehe, this child can be said to be ruthless! His body's bones and bones were like thousands of broken bones. Reforged into jade, it was precisely the legendary Jadebones! It was the most powerful state of external martial arts. What was even more difficult to come by were those tiny bones. They could also be refined into Jadebones, the pain that they suffered. Ordinary people simply could not imagine it! People who can be so ruthless to themselves are truly a bit rare."    

    

Sighing, the village chief continued," This body of his is also extraordinary. "
