The brave ones really came out and saw a wolf on the left of Kang Yueran and a tiger on the right. They were scared at first, but then they felt surprised. There are really people who are not afraid of tigers and wolves!
With the wolf pack and the white tiger, no one doubted Kang Yueran's ability anymore. Everyone bowed to Kang Yueran and called him: Boss Kang.
The effect was achieved. Kang Yueran touched the wolf king's forehead again and said, "Thank you for today. You take them back first. I will come back to see you."
The white tiger translated for the wolf king, who howled loudly and turned away with his pack.
Back in the meeting hall, Li Hu introduced her to Xu Jiushi. "His name is Xu Jiushi, the second son of Xu Chang, the village doctor. He's not particularly gifted in medicine, but he's quite proficient in general affairs. It turns out I consulted with him on all village affairs."
Xu Jiushi stepped forward and bowed, "My name is Xu Jiushi, nice to meet you, Master Kang."
Kang Yueran nodded at him, "You're welcome!"
She then said to the crowd, "Since you have acknowledged me as your leader, I will arrange the first thing: collect the bodies of Qingpingshan and Baidushan."
Someone asked, "Why should we care about what happens on Mount Paektu when we can just clean up the bodies on Mount Qingping?"
Kang Yueran replied, "It's summer now, and the weather is hot. If the corpses are not dealt with for a long time, they will cause plague. The two mountains are not far apart. If someone is infected, the whole village will be in trouble.
Collecting the bodies of the deceased is a great merit, which will benefit you both in life and after death. Many of you have been involved in human deaths!"
Plague, atonement for sins in this life, and accumulation of merits for the next life, these are all big things for ordinary people.
The discussion below gradually died down, and most people quickly accepted it.
But there are still a small number of people who don’t accept it!
Zhang Sangen, who once lived with Niu Dayan, objected unexpectedly. "Master Kang, I've never taken a human life. Can I not go? Some of the corpses on Mount Paektu are already infested with maggots, which makes them very susceptible to disease."
Kang Yueran was about to kick out people like Zhang Sangen who lacked team spirit. "Sure!" she asked loudly, "If anyone else doesn't want to go, please stand up and I'll count the number of people."
Secretly, no one wants to do this job, but since they have recognized the boss, they have to listen to him. Also, they think what the boss says is right.
In addition to Zhang Sangen, eleven other people stood up.
Xu Jiushi was very angry. "Master Kang is right. We are not far from Mount Paektu. If there is a plague on Mount Paektu, none of us can escape."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Xu Erlang, don't be angry. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. I'll ask again, if you don't want to go, please stand up quickly. If you don't stand up now and complain about being tired later, I won't care."
Seeing that Kang Yueran was easy to talk to, three more people stood up.
Kang Yueran turned to Xu Jiushi and said, "Drive these fifteen people and their families down the mountain, and give each family two taels of silver."
All fifteen people's expressions changed. Zhang Sangen asked, "You were the one who said we should choose for ourselves. How could you turn your back on us?"
Kang Yueran put away her smile, "I turned my back on you? You have the nerve to blame me? Go out and ask around, how many people around here don't know about the murders and robberies committed by Qingping Village?
Although it was Tu Da's order, those lives were lost in your hands, and their blood was spilled on you. If the court holds you accountable, who among you can escape?
Qingping Stronghold has now reached a dead end, and you still don't know how to turn around in time. Are you waiting for the imperial court to send troops to confiscate all your properties and exterminate your clans?
I've taken the risk of becoming the boss, and I don't have time to play around with you. I want you to work together to overcome this difficult time, so I won't tolerate those who are indecisive and selfish."
Kang Yueran spoke forcefully and glanced at Li Hu for a long time. Li Hu always thought that if he gave them enough food and drink and promised them some small benefits, they would be able to make them obey him.
Xu Jiushi shook his head and thought to himself that it seemed that the master of this mountain stronghold was really going to change.
Zhang Sangen still refused to accept it. "You've only been here for a few days, what do you know? I've been in the village for eleven years, I..."
Niu Dayan spoke first: "How dare you say that you have been here for eleven years? You have eaten eleven of Mr. Li's food and received eleven of his money. How have you repaid Mr. Li?"
"If I can defeat Tu Da, I will definitely go and save Boss Li."
Niu Dayan's words reminded Li Hu, and Li Hu sternly said, "You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves, get off the mountain!"
Zhang Sangen was so frightened that he trembled and dared not argue any further. He looked at the other fourteen people who had stood up with him and said anxiously, "Speak up! If you don't speak up, you will be driven down the mountain."
Those fourteen people actually spoke, but they spoke to Kang Yueran.
"Master Kang, please don't chase us away. We are willing to overcome the difficulties together with the village. We will definitely listen to Master Kang's words from now on."
Zhang Sangen was both angry and regretful when he saw this. He threw himself in front of Li Hu and cried, "Boss, I'm so sorry. I've eaten your rice for eleven years. I'm willing to serve you for another eleven years, no, twenty-two years."
If Li Hu could move his legs, he would really want to kick Zhang Sangen to death. "No! Please don't, I still want to live a few more years, get out of here right now."
Xu Jiushi raised his hand and said, "Brothers, come with me and drive them down the mountain."
Nine of the fifteen people had lived in the village for years and had lost contact with their hometown. Having been driven out of the village, they had nowhere else to go.
Kang Yueran winked at the white tiger in the corner, and the white tiger slowly walked towards Zhang Sangen and the others, opened its mouth wide, and revealed its sharp teeth...
