Both sides were full of fighting spirit, and everyone held their breath and watched the scene in front of them. I thought I could see a wonderful battle, but I didn't expect it to end in one round.
The leader wolf leaped into the air and rushed towards Qiao Xin's neck to bite, but Qiao Xin grabbed its left front leg and swung the dagger in his right hand upwards, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Qiao Xin then made a circle with his left hand, and the wolf king drew a parabola in the air and crashed into the stone wall a few meters away with a "bang", and there was no movement anymore.
The wind was howling, the snow was drifting, and everyone present was frozen.
Everyone rubbed their eyes to make sure they were not dazzled. The wolf king that just flew over their heads was indeed more than 200 kilograms! When did this thing become as fragile as a chicken?
"Village chief, she, she is so strong..." Wang Da Kui covered his arm and stammered out his thoughts.
Li Zhong looked at the big part of her body with disdain: "Nonsense, do you even need me to tell you that? I'm not blind!" He was also envious of such strength. If all of them, the hunters, were so powerful, they could walk across the mountain with ease!
Li Zhong's brain was idle for a few seconds, then he suddenly jumped up and said excitedly, "Quick, quick, quick. Help me clean up the mess. We don't have to move. The heroine has already bought a house here. God, a blind sparrow will never starve to death!"
Wang Da Kui was stunned by the news. When he came to his senses, he no longer cared about the wounds on his body. He was full of energy and the hatchet in his hand left afterimages.
Qiao Xin was patrolling her main battlefield like a queen. Holding a bloody dagger, she walked towards the remaining wolves step by step.
The leader was dead and the enemy was too powerful. The wolf pack's fighting power was on the verge of collapse. The surviving wolves were already planning to evacuate separately. They looked at each other, turned around and fled towards the dense forest behind them.
If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. How could Qiao Xin give them a chance to come back? She snatched the shovel from Li Zhong's hand, ran up, raised her hand and slapped the scattered wolves. Every time she slapped a place, a deep pit was left there. A wolf lay in the pit with its body shattered and drained. It was so miserable that she was like playing whack-a-mole. She left all these remnants behind.
Li Zhong stared at the shovel handed over by Qiao Xin, not knowing whether to take it or not. Is this still the farm tool in his family that can never stop weeding?
Qiao Xin looked at the broken farm tool in her hand, feeling a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "I'll compensate you with a new one in two days.
Li Zhong came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, that's not necessary."
"Don't worry, I will accompany you. I know farm tools are expensive, but I really couldn't care less just now."
"I know, I know, it's not your fault!"
After a big battle, Qiao Xin was a little tired, so she had to order: "Hurry up and save people and clean up, otherwise the bloody smell will attract other things!"
Li Zhong was also an experienced hunter who knew what was important and what was not. He carried out Qiao Xin's orders without any compromise and had no idea that there was anything wrong.
Fang Ya poked his head out from behind the wall, looked at the wolf corpses on the ground with amazement in his eyes, looked at Qiao Xin with admiration, and rubbed his hands excitedly.
Oh my god, Laohu Town is going to be resurrected. With a tough guy like Qiao Xin here, the sense of security is overwhelming!
Then wouldn't the dozens of old houses here be able to be sold out quickly? Each house could easily fetch twenty or thirty taels of silver. With this calculation, he would be rich!
This trip is worth it!
There were many empty and dilapidated houses in Laohu Town. Everyone found an open-air yard and placed all the prey in the yard. Then, they sent two villagers with less serious injuries to help look after them.
When Heng Wen and Fan Jihuai led people into the yard, Li Zhongzheng led the villagers to discuss with Qiao Xin how to deal with the prey. Qiao Xin asked them how they usually dealt with it?
Li Zhong said frankly, "On weekdays, we would send the prey we hunted to the city. Apart from giving some to the landlord as rent, the rest would be exchanged for basic living supplies."
Qiao Xin asked in confusion, "Didn't the government fund a civilian hunting team to collect these prey?"
Li Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "How can such a thing happen to poor people like us? The money is not enough for the hunting teams of the rich families. Besides, the government is very strict in charging us a low price for our prey. The materials we get in exchange can't even support our family. It's better for us to find someone we know to deal with it ourselves."
Qiao Xin understood that this was the same as the official rental housing. Only one in ten people who really needed it would be left.
"Ms. Qiao, why don't you go ask the Fan family? Their tribe has a business that specializes in furs and has a good reputation. The Fan family has also formed their own hunting team, and they must have their own way of selling goods." Fang Ya gave his suggestion at the right time.
"I'm not familiar with them either!"
If you are not familiar with him, then why would the old housekeeper personally send you here to buy a house, and repeatedly threaten him to take good care of you? Is this what it looks like if you are not familiar with him? Fang Ya naturally did not believe this, but he could not say anything else.
Just at this moment, the second master of the Fan family brought a group of people to break open the door of the village head's house, and they stared at the people in the yard like ferocious monsters.
Qiao Xin raised her eyebrows, looked at the crumbling gate, and looked at them unhappily. Where did they learn the skills of breaking down doors and destroying houses?
"It's you guys, what are you doing, imitating the bandits and entering the village?"
When Heng Wen heard this familiar voice, he was delighted. He pushed through the crowd and strode towards Qiao Xin. He looked at Qiao Xin carefully and saw that there was nothing wrong with her. Then he asked, "Are you okay, mother?"
"I'm not feeling well, what could possibly happen? How did you two get together?"
Seeing Qiao Xin standing in front of him unharmed, Fan Jihuai finally let go of his worry. He stepped forward, bowed, and then told Qiao Xin about everyone's arrangements after she left.
Qiao Xin used to be used to just leaving without informing anyone, but now she has changed. She didn't expect that this habit of hers would cause so much trouble.
She said apologetically, "It's my fault. I was not thoughtful enough and caused you trouble. Butler Fang was kind-hearted. I asked your eldest brother not to blame him. I will ask my eldest brother to invite everyone to our house for a drink some other day to make amends for me."
No one present expected Qiao Xin to admit her mistakes so readily and not shirk her responsibilities at all. This sense of responsibility and vision is impressive.
The Fan family's guards finally understood why the elder and second masters valued a village woman so much. This kind of generosity is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Now seeing that Qiao Xin also admitted her mistakes and took the initiative to offer to treat them, this attitude has eliminated the resentment they had when they left.
