Chapter 74: Tomorrow, Big Ticket for Qianyuan

of difficulty: "Third Uncle, you're making things difficult for me!"Zhao Fu貴 hurried over and whispered, "Tomorrow I'm going to the county seat to attend a banquet at the Zhao family, and I've been w...In the evening, at the Yang family's house, dozens of oil lamps were lit, making it as bright as day.

The courtyard is full of people!

Yang Lin sat by the bed, his hands covered in blood, and slowly closed his eyes.

Just now, he sutured the wounds of four seriously injured people, including Liu Qiaoyun.

They were seriously injured, but none of them were fatally wounded. Even so, without suturing, they would all have bled to death!

Even though they've been stitched up now, whether or not they survive is entirely up to fate!

"My husband, please wash your hands."

Wu Me came over with a basin of warm water and looked at Yang Lin with concern.

Yang Lin nodded slowly, carefully washing the blood from his hands.

The blood was washed away, the clear water in the basin turned red in an instant, but it couldn't wash away Yang Lin's anger!

In this battle, including Black Tiger, nine bandits were killed and three were seriously injured. The rest were beaten up and captured alive, tied to trees outside.

As for Yang Lin and his wives over at Relying on Mountain Village, they were all safe. In the final moments, with the women wielding their bows and crossbows, they charged forward just as the remaining bandits had already been dealt with by the villagers.

But before that, in the road repair team, two people were lightly injured, one was seriously injured, and one died!

Our security team, two people seriously injured, one dead!

Yang Lin had already removed the arrow from Zhong Tao's shoulder and bandaged his wound. The man, as strong as an iron tower, now stood outside the door, his eyes red with tears.

Having taken the towel from Liumei, Yang Lin wiped his hands dry and asked in a low voice, "Is Liu Qiuyun's mother still outside"

Si Mei nodded. "Everyone's here."

Yang Lin knew that when Si Mei said "everyone," she included the families of the other injured people.

"Well, I'll go and tell them."

Yang Ling just stood up, his body swayed slightly, almost falling down. Wu Mei and Liu Mei hurriedly helped him up.

"Are you alright Or should I go talk to them instead" Li Yuyao stepped forward, her face filled with worry.

It's obvious that Yang Lin is in a bad state right now.

Whether it was Liu Qiuyun taking the knife for him, now lying unconscious, or his first experience of the death of those around him since coming to this world, all of these would plunge him into extreme pain both physically and mentally.

Yang Lin waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll come!"

Four simple words, yet they conveyed his determination to everyone.

Li Yuyao then stopped insisting and gave Wu Mei and Liu Mei a look, signaling the two to help Yang Lin up.

Pushing open the door, hundreds of eyes, both inside and outside the courtyard, stared at him.

The entire village seemed to have gathered here, yet there was a strange silence.

Zhao Fugui and Zhong Tao, standing on either side of the door, opened their mouths but didn't say a word.

The villagers watched Yang Lin with worry, their hearts sinking as they saw his gaunt and pale face.

"Qiao Yun, Qiao Yun, how is she doing"

Liu Zhangshi, supported by two maidservants, cried and rushed over.

Several other seriously injured victims' families, while remaining silent for now, all gazed at Yang Lin with faces etched with either age or youth, their eyes filled with worry.

"The bleeding has stopped."

But whether I can save my life, I'm not sure yet.

Yang Lin spoke truthfully, bowing deeply to the villagers before him. "To make it easier to take care of them, they'll be staying with me temporarily. I will shoulder all the medical expenses and any other costs that come up!"

Liu Zhangshi wanted to cry and make a fuss, but Wang Gui held his younger brother, Wang Laosan, and walked over.

"Don't worry everyone, Yang Lin is a very good doctor. Look at my brother, he was also stabbed and unconscious at the time. Anyone would have said there was no hope, but Yang Lin saved him!"

Wang Lao San knelt weakly before Yang Lin.

"Yang Lin, I, Wang Lao San, owe you my life. From now on, whether it's scaling Mount Knife or diving into the sea of fire, as long as you give the order, Wang Lao San will never frown."

Saying that, he began to kowtow repeatedly to Yang Lin.

He had just woken up when he was dragged over by his brother.

Wang Gui just wanted to show everyone, in front of them all, his brother's recovery progress and reassure everyone.

This move really worked. Liu Zhangshi and the families of the other several seriously injured people, seeing Wang Lao San, all subconsciously relaxed.

As everyone knows, Wang Laosan was also seriously injured that night, but Yang Lin saved him. This gave them confidence in Yang Lin's medical skills.

"Take good care of your wounds. When you recover, I'll help you get out of here. You can come work for me then."

Yang Lin helped Wang Laosan up and signaled to Wang Gui to take him away first.

Seeing Yang Lin seemed to have something to say to everyone, Wang Gui didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly helped Wang Lao San and retreated to the back.

"Fellow countrymen, I know that today you all stood up for me, facing the bandits' blades without revealing my whereabouts. Yang Lin is deeply grateful to you all!"

Saying that, Yang Lin bowed deeply again.

"Although I don't think I've done anything extraordinary, to be treated so well by everyone fills me with gratitude. Yang Lin feels truly fortunate in this life!"

I won't say too much about the pleasant words. I, Yang Lin, have always been a person who repays kindness with kindness and grievances with grievances!

"Today, everyone has been so kind to me. I, Yang Lin, will never forget this!"

"The bandits' hatred for us cannot just be let go!"

"Speaking, Yang Lin shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhang from the road construction team and Zhou Li from the guard team were killed by bandits! They died for me, Yang Lin, to protect our Kaoshan Village. They are heroes!"

I will give them a grand funeral. From now on, I will take care of their families!

When the Guard was first established, I said that if any brother were to unfortunately meet an untimely end, I would pay thirty taels of silver in compensation!

But today, I will break with precedent! Zhang Lao Ye and Zhou Li died for Kaoshan Village. They died valiantly, they were heroes! Therefore, I have decided that each of their families will receive 100 taels of silver in compensation!

Tonight, I shall give them a glorious burial!

Saying that, Yang Lin bowed to the crowd for the third time.

One hundred taels of silver for condolences, which stunned the villagers.

In this era, human life is worthless.

Don't even talk about a hundred taels, even thirty taels is beyond their wildest dreams.

For ten taels of silver, one could make a person sell their life. Even in the military, the death benefit was only eight coins, and it was often withheld, so they didn't receive that much at all.

Therefore, although the villagers were very distressed at this moment, upon hearing that there was one hundred taels of silver, many of them felt that their deaths were worthwhile!

But for Yang Lin, no amount of money could equal a human life.

Increasing the pension is all he can do to make a difference. Giving more money won't ease his troubled conscience.

"Third Uncle, are you sure that these bandits are backed by the Zhou family and the Zhao family"

Zhao Fuguai nodded heavily: "Confirmed! In the county town, this is almost an open secret."

"Alright," Yang Lin nodded, "Tomorrow I'm going all in, Uncle Three, do you dare to join me"uggestions, and instead, the issue fell back onto Yang Lin.Yang Lin sighed helplessly: "Since you don't have any suggestions, I'll just tell you my plan.""Well, here's our house. It's ten zhang long,...
