Chapter 149: The Mouth is Faster than the Brain



The five hundred people who were left behind by the barbarians had no intention of fighting and only wanted to escape.

Naturally, they had no momentum in the fight, and most of them were quickly killed by Ying Er and his men.

"Hahahaha!!! If I don't give it out, who will? With so many heads here, those stolen things mean nothing! I'll take the heads to the county government office and exchange them all for money. Don't be so comfortable with yourself!"

Seeing that there were not many people left, the villagers looked much more relaxed.

He looked at the barbarians he had killed with shining eyes, as if he was not looking at corpses, but strings of silver coins.

Ji Changying's face was splattered with blood. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "How much is a head?"

An uncle laughed and said, "It depends on the person, ranging from one or two taels to several hundred taels. But these are just small fry, so it's good enough to get one or two taels of silver!"

Ji Changying’s eyes widened.

She didn't cut off Hakemu's head!

She suddenly grimaced in pain.

It's like losing 100 million!

After dealing with all the people, the Qingyi Army tidied up the bodies very skillfully.

By the way, I compared the weapons used by the villagers with the wounds on the corpses and counted the number of enemies killed by each person.

The village chief rubbed his hands together, suppressing his excitement. "Sir! We killed quite a few before you came! How about we take you over there to check the count?"

This is all money!

The centurion nodded seriously, "You must also explain clearly when you attacked, what weapons you used, where the vital points were, and who did it. No fooling around!"

"That's it, that's it! Please—"

The village chief attentively took the centurion around the village.

Ji Changying looked at the two people behind him and asked, "Do you want to go to my house and rest for a while?"

Mrs. Wang nodded hurriedly: "I'll do as you say!"

Shaoyao naturally went wherever Madam Wang went. The two of them held Ji Changying's arms on either side and walked towards the Ji family.

The family, who were originally greeting Ji Fengyi and asking about his well-being, saw Ji Changying coming back with two horses. They left Ji Fengyi and ran over, "Aying! You're back? How are you?"

Ji Changchuan pulled his sister to check the wound.

Ji Changying stopped him: "I'm fine, just some minor skin injuries, the blood on my body is from someone else."

Ji Changchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you are okay!"

As for killing people, he doesn't care.

His sister always killed people who deserved to be killed.

Zhou looked at her eagerly: "Where's your father? Why isn't he here?"

Ji Fengyi's face darkened.

So he just talked for a long time, but no one stopped to listen to what he said?

"My dad is taking care of Uncle Shilin and the others to let them rest. He will pick them up tomorrow. He is fine, so you don't have to worry."

Ji Changying thought about it and decided to hide the fact that Ji Fengshou was also injured.

After all, compared with Ji Shilin and his three brothers, her father's injuries were considered minor.

When Mrs. Wang and Shaoyao entered the room and saw so many people, they stood close to Ji Changying.

They only know Ji Changying here, and only by sticking to her can they feel safe.

Ji Changying knew that they were scared, but she didn't mind.

As they were talking, they saw Aunt Li walking over, supported by her daughter-in-law and Mrs. Lin.

In just one night, Aunt Li, who was always cheerful and brisk, had completely white hair and looked ten years older.

With a pale face, she asked Ji Changying, "My heart has been beating wildly all night. Ah Ying, tell me the truth! Have you seen your uncle Shi Lin and the others? Are you with Dad?"

Seeing her like this, Ji Changying couldn't bear to reveal the truth, so she could only avoid the important point: "Uncle Shilin and the others are a little tired after running away all night, so I'll let them rest in the city and pick them up tomorrow."

Aunt Li listened with bated breath and let out a long sigh: "That's all! As long as I'm alive! I thought..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and started crying.

Mrs. Hu quickly stepped forward to comfort the old man: "It's all over, it's okay! We will always get better and better..."

As he spoke, a ray of light appeared from the sun in the sky.

"It's dawn!"

"Alas! This evening is finally over!"

····

Looking at the rising sun and the snow that had stopped falling at some point, everyone had an expression of relief on their face.

After comforting Aunt Li, Mrs. Hu noticed that there were still two people hanging on her niece and asked hesitantly, "These two...?"

Ji Changying lowered her voice and introduced: "This is our county magistrate's wife, and this is her maid."

Mrs. Wang adjusted her hair and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Zhou looked at her curiously: "What are you laughing at?"

Mrs. Wang’s face froze.

Ji Changying coughed dryly and said, "Well, this is my mother. She is always outspoken and her mouth reacts faster than her brain. Don't be offended if she says something strange."

"This is my aunt, this is my uncle..."

Ji Changying introduced everyone in the family one by one.

Mrs. Wang had already loosened her arms and greeted them one by one with a standard smile on her face: "I'm so sorry for coming so suddenly and not bringing any gifts. I'll make up for it next time I have the chance."

Shaoyao also bowed politely behind him.

Mrs. Hu was startled and quickly helped the man up. "What nonsense! We are just a country family. We don't have so many formalities. Guests are welcome. Why bring gifts? I am happy that you come to my place!"

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled reservedly.

Zhou found her action quite interesting and couldn't help but imitate it: "Hehe~"

The action was so weird and strange that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou looked at them and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Changying quickly stepped forward to help: "Let them find a room to rest. They are so tired."

Hearing Ji Changying's words, Mrs. Hu slapped her forehead and said, "Right, right, you're just busy talking!"

Mrs. Wang and Shaoyao looked at Zhou and felt a little strange.

However, seeing that everyone in the Ji family seemed to be used to it, he didn't think about it any further.

Mrs. Hu cleared out a room for the two of them to rest, and she went to check the cellar herself.

Seeing that there were only a few scattered grains left inside, she didn't care about the pain and moved it all out with all her heart: "Come on, sisters-in-law, help us. Everyone is tired after a night of work, please make something to eat for everyone!"

Aunt Yang's eyes lit up, and she picked up the kitchen knife she had used to cut the wound and walked over: "I think you're quite open-minded! It's worth it that we've been guarding here all night. Let me help!"
