Chapter 54: Become a Disciple
Zhou Yunshu said so much that Yan Shilei always felt that she would open her mouth to speak out in the next second, so he was always on guard against her.
But no, her request was reasonable.
"We understand your grief and anger, but we cannot let the injuries of Erniu and the other man go unnoticed."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the injured family members beside her, who were afraid that she would refuse the benefits, and said to Yan Shilei, "Compensation is what we should do. If we didn't have good doctors in our team, maybe their lives would be in danger."
"We know."
"We'll accept the compensation. Besides that, Uncle Yan will give each family fifty taels of silver. That should be fine, right?"
Yan Shilei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the fifty taels of silver. Their village at the foot of the mountain made a living by hunting. Every household had saved a lot of silver by selling game, furs and even herbs. Fifty taels was acceptable to them.
The families of Erniu and Ludaner around Zhou Yunshu could no longer hide the joy in their eyes.
"It should be."
After Yan Shilei finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu turned to look at Erniu and Lu Daner's families, "What do you think?"
"Can!"
"Okay, we think..." Before Donkey's mother could finish her words, she was pulled by her husband.
The man grabbed his wife's arm and looked at Yan Shilei and said, "You almost killed our donkey. We don't know if he can recover and continue to work. This fifty taels is not enough!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Donkey Egg's father, whose eyes were full of greed, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.
Yan Shilei frowned slightly, but he still looked at Donkey's father patiently, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"Well... seven... one hundred taels!" Donkey Egg's father swallowed nervously after he said this.
Ordinary farmers could hardly come up with twenty taels, and fifty taels was actually a huge sum of money for them. However, he felt that since Yan Shilei could so easily agree to Zhou Yunshu's fifty taels, it meant that fifty taels was not a lot for Yan Shilei and his people.
He finally had the chance to make some extra money, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
"Don't..." The young man standing next to Yan Shilei heard Donkey's father's loud words and couldn't help but say two words before being stopped by Yan Shilei.
"Can."
"What about us?" Erniu's family asked anxiously.
Although the people in Erniu's family were satisfied with fifty taels, since Ludan's father could get one hundred taels, their Erniu was more seriously injured than Ludan, so he could definitely get one hundred taels as well!
"One hundred taels each."
The guilt in the hearts of Yan Shilei and his companions was completely worn away by the excessive demands of Donkey's father and his companions.
Zhou Yunshu did not interfere in what happened next, but the other people in the team were shamefully tempted after seeing that Erniu and Ludaner could get so much compensation for their injuries.
If they can get food, ginseng and one hundred taels of silver for being seriously injured, they would be willing to do it!
The people in the team no longer had any opinions about the people from Shanxia Village because they had suffered heavy losses, while the people from Shanxia Village no longer had the good impression of them as before because some people in the team were getting too demanding.
Zhou Yunshu noticed this change but did not stop it. Instead, she was happy to see it happen.
Since she was planning to part ways with this group after leaving Luzhou, there was no need to add chips to this team again and again.
If there is a chance, as Dr. Xue said, she also wants to recruit Yan Shilei and others into her own small team.
So, as long as I have a good impression of her, it's fine.
Yan Shilei and his group had dinner with Manager Liang and his family. After the meal, Manager Liang brought Yan Shilei and others to Zhou Yunshu.
After seeing Yan Shilei and his group go to find Zhou Yunshu, Wei Zhong also came over with Du Laoer.
Du Laozhuang sighed silently as he watched Zhou Yunshu gradually become the center of the team's voice, and himself gradually lose his voice.
Forget it, at least his second son can enter that circle, at least Zhou Yunshu is now willing to give him some face.
When Li Jialan, Fang Huiwen and others saw Manager Liang and Yan Shilei and his group coming, they took the children to the tent and left the space for Yan Shilei and his group.
But even so, not everyone sat down.
Zhou Yunshu stood right in front of the fire, with Feng Xujie sitting next to her, and Hu Zi and his two companions and Chun Que standing behind her.
On Zhou Yunshu's left were Manager Liang and Yan Shilei and his group, and on her right were Wei Zhong and Du Laoer and his group.
"Mr. Zhou, we've made an agreement." Yan Shilei looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "We'll take you out of Anshan."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded, then asked, "Any conditions?"
"If you help us collect the bodies, we are willing to..."
"Let's be clear, they've already accepted your apology and compensation, haven't they?"
When it is time to gain favor for herself, Zhou Yunshu will not miss it.
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, Yan Shilei did have a good impression of her.
"There are no conditions. We just hope to stay with you temporarily before we reach Wolong Mountain."
They now have a blood feud with the Red Lotus Sect, and the area of Luzhou after Anshan is basically the territory of the Red Lotus Sect.
They are few in number and their targets are large, so they will be easily discovered by the Red Lotus Cult. So it is better for them to follow Zhou Yunshu and his team, hide among them, and then go to the Red Lotus Cult's lair to give them a fatal blow when they reach Wolong Mountain!
"Can."
Zhou Yunshu agreed straightforwardly, "Uncle Yan will lead the way for us. The two children can stay with my mother and sister-in-law. As for the others, they can be assigned to the patrol team."
Yan Shilei and Manager Liang were stunned. They had expected Zhou Yunshu to lead the way and be included in the patrol team, but they had not thought that Zhou Yunshu would be willing to take the initiative to take care of the two remaining children in the village.
Originally, they wanted Xiaoshan and the other man to stay with Manager Liang's wife.
Without waiting for their questions, Zhou Yunshu said to Luo Xiaoshan, who had been standing behind Yan Shilei, "I need a little helper, and I think this kid is good."
Luo Xiaoshan's red eyes were still swollen. When he heard Zhou Yunshu call his name, he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"
"Well, I heard from Shopkeeper Liang that you are the son of the village chief of Shanxia Village. I guess you should have some education, right?"
Luo Xiaoshan felt a little guilty when he heard the word "study". His father forced him to study, but his eyes and mind were all about following the villagers to the mountains to hunt, so he was not good at studying.
"Some."
"Since you've read it, why don't you continue reading it beside me? You can also help me with some things from time to time. What do you think?"
No matter where you are, even in the village at the foot of the mountain where people mainly make a living by hunting, people still think that being able to read is a good thing.
So when Zhou Yunshu said that she wanted to teach Luo Xiaoshan to read, the people in Shanxia Village looked at the village chief's only child and urged him to do so. Luo Xiaoshan did not let them down and agreed without hesitation.
It was simply because, apart from his own father, this was the first time someone was willing to take the initiative to teach him.
"teacher!"
Without saying a word, Luo Xiaoshan knelt on the ground and saluted Zhou Yunshu as his master.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and helped him up, "Okay, from now on you will be my student."
The master-disciple relationship of their generation is comparable to that of father and son. At the moment of becoming his apprentice, Luo Xiaoshan decided to treat Zhou Yunshu as his biological father, and Zhou Yunshu would also be responsible for him.
Wei Zhong, who had been sitting next to him, was full of questions. He was increasingly unable to understand his own princess, so should he send a letter to his master?
