At that moment, the clan leader counted the number of people who raised their hands and made a decision according to the rule of following the majority.
"Most people agree to follow Lady Yao to attack and destroy the wolf pack. That's settled!"
After the clan leader finished his announcement, those people in the village who disagreed no longer had any objections and said they could follow Qin Yao's arrangements.
But they asked Qin Yao to ensure everyone's safety.
Qin Yao was completely speechless.
Taking a deep breath, resisting the urge to curse, keeping a cold tone, he said:
"I can't guarantee that. Everything has risks. I have done my best to arrange the deployment. If you follow my instructions completely, I will naturally be responsible if something goes wrong."
"But! If you don't follow the instructions completely and something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
When these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had just vowed that they would follow Qin Yao as long as she took the lead, but their tone changed in an instant.
It is a little difficult for them to give up their trust completely.
When the atmosphere was tense, Liu Ji coughed twice violently, successfully attracting all attention.
"Let me say a few words." Liu Ji stood among the crowd with a serious face, saying:
"It's not that I'm on my wife's side, it's just that you guys are a little bit ungrateful and I can't stand it!"
"Destroying the wolf pack is a good thing that will solve the problem once and for all. It will not only solve the problem of these beasts, but also allow everyone to have a good New Year. We won't have to worry about these vengeful beasts coming back to wreak havoc on the village next year."
"My wife is willing to take the lead. Is it for herself? Isn't it for the safety of the two hundred people in our village? Does she want everyone to have a good New Year in peace?"
"What happened? Some people are incompetent and afraid of the beast. When they get bitten by the wolf, they still have to ask my wife to be responsible? I, Liu Ji, am not as shameless as you!"
At this point, seeing that some people were obviously implied and about to get angry, Liu Ji spoke first.
"Forget about it, you have no guts, let's break up!"
"Everyone, keep your gates shut. The wolf won't dare to come to my house anyway. If it does, I'll kill it and stew it in the pot for New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Madam, don't you agree?" He turned his face to Qin Yao and became so respectful and amiable.
Qin Yao frowned in disdain, "Wolf meat doesn't taste good."
However, his body still followed Liu Ji and he made a gesture as if he was about to leave.
The clan leader was so angry that he shouted, "Liu Laosan, what are you doing? Come back here!"
After scolding Liu Ji, the troublemaker, he went on to scold the villagers who asked others to be responsible for their safety, and his scolding was much more harsh than that of Liu Ji.
"You are all full and have nothing better to do. You are the ones who killed the wolf, and you are the ones who were afraid of getting hurt or dying. So just forget about it. Leave the gates of your houses open wide and let the wolves bite you all to death!"
The village chief was afraid that the clan leader would be angry to death, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade him to calm down the chaotic scene.
"Stop arguing, let's just do as we agreed. Stand up if you have the guts. Yao Niang, you lead the way. The casualties will definitely not be your fault."
"Those who are cowardly should each pay a hundred coins and share it with the Wolf Killing Team, and then don't come and cause trouble!"
"You can't afford it, so just be honest and make a name for yourself!"
"You're scared out of your wits by just a few beasts. Get out of Liujia Village right now. What a disgrace!"
After the clan leader and the village chief kept spitting at each other, the villagers all shut up, and the ancestral hall, which was as messy as a vegetable market, finally became quiet.
Liu Ji stopped when he saw that things were going well, and brought Qin Yao out again, acting like a mean man who was proud of himself and said, "My wife doesn't care about me." He took advantage of the power of the tiger and shouted:
"If you don't want to go, pay the money!"
He will be in charge of this account and ensure that it is calculated clearly.
The village chief glared at me and said, "I don't believe you."
He pulled Liu Ji away and asked Liu Qi to come and collect the money to prevent Liu Ji from embezzling it all.
Qin Yao had already sat back down, too lazy to get involved in all this messy trivialities, thinking about how to catch all these wolves in one fell swoop.
Wolves are animals with high IQs and are very vengeful. If you want to kill them all, you have to kill them all at once. Missing even one will become a huge hidden danger.
While Liu Ji and Liu Qi were still arguing over who should collect the money, Qin Yao had already called Liu Fei over and told him:
"Go and ask the Yang brothers from Xiahe Village to help track down these beasts. It would be best if they can determine their number, so that we don't miss one or two."
After saying that, he pointed to Liu Ji and Liu Qi who had reached a consensus and decided to collect the money together, one in charge of management and the other in charge of record.
"Go and get two hundred coins and give them to the Yang brothers. Tell them to be careful and come to the ancestral hall to tell me the result immediately."
Liu Fei nodded to show that he understood, asked Liu Ji for money, went to the stationery factory stable to get a horse, and immediately went to Xiahe Village.
After Qin Yao finished two cups of tea, she looked through all the Liu family ancestral tablets. Liu Ji and Liu Qi had finally registered the money and people.
Those who did not enter the mountain just paid the money and left.
Now the only people left in the ancestral hall are the village chief, the clan leader, and the young men who decided to follow Qin Yao into the mountains to exterminate the wolf pack.
Liu Bo and Liu Zhong were among the list. Of course, family members should support each other. Liu Ji was also held down by his two brothers and put his fingerprints on the Wolf Killing Team's letter of allegiance.
Liu Ji: Thank you so much!
No one from Liu Dafu's family went there, but they paid five hundred coins and are still staying in the ancestral hall, intending to see how Qin Yao is going to deploy the plan.
"How much money did you collect?" Qin Yao asked curiously.
The account was recorded by Liu Ji, who reported: "A total of 2 taels and 5 qian were collected. Just now, the fourth branch took 2 qian, leaving 2 taels and 3 qian."
Qin Yao nodded and looked at the clan leader and the village chief. Both elders looked as if they trusted her to make the arrangements.
Qin Yao stopped being polite and started making arrangements directly.
"Twenty of you, go to the fields and fetch some straw. I'll teach you how to weave it into simple protective gear. Then you can tie it around your wrists and legs to prevent yourself from getting bitten when you're trying to stop the wolves."
Qin Yao's number one lackey Liu Ji responded immediately, waving his hand: "Follow me! Go get some straw!"
He looks quite respectable. If you don't know him, you might think he volunteered to join the wolf-killing team.
Liu Bo Liu Zhong: I’m going to die. This kid has done it again!
While everyone was getting straw, Qin Yao was also busy and came to the back wall of the ancestral hall.
I don't know who put the firewood here, but there is a lot of it piled against the wall.
Qin Yao selected twenty strong and long sticks of firewood and carried them back to the ancestral hall, waiting for Liu Ji and his men to come back and then distributed them to them.
"This is your self-defense weapon. Your main task is to surround the wolf pack and not allow any wolf to escape our encirclement."
Liu Ji clung to his stick like a boneless person and asked curiously, "Madam, why are you surrounding all the wolves?"
Qin Yao looked at him, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she said the most terrifying words in the most gentle tone.
"It's convenient for me to kill."
Liu Ji: “.”
Everyone in the ancestral hall: “.”
The air in the ancestral hall stagnated strangely for a few seconds.
Qin Yao was completely unaware and picked up the straw that Liu Ji and others had brought back and started weaving it.
First roll it into a thick rope, then tie it around Liu Ji's wrists, wrap it around in circles, and stack it into two layers, which is thick enough.
Others followed suit and armed themselves.
