Longevity Martial Arts: Beginning with Sword Drawing

Chapter 98 1000 taels of silver!

The war is over, and the beast tide has receded!

But the city walls and under the city walls are already full of corpses, and the scene is like a purgatory on earth.

There were countless casualties in Changsheng Town, and only one-third of the warriors remained.

The elderly, weak, women and children were better off. They were doing logistical transportation and bandage treatment in the city. Fewer ferocious beasts broke into the city, and less than half of them were killed or injured.

After the war ended, mourners were everywhere, with miserable faces and groans and screams everywhere.

Lots and lots of people are digging through dead bodies, looking for loved ones, or... rummaging through belongings.

Moving the corpses was a huge process. The few remaining city guards and police officers organized their staff with tired faces to sort the corpses. Those who claimed them would register their identities, and there would be pensions in the future.

Most of the unclaimed ones were loose martial artists, so they could only be burned on the spot, dug and buried to prevent the spread of the plague.

As for the corpses of ferocious beasts, these are valuable things, so naturally they would not be exposed to the wilderness, and they would also be collected and slaughtered overnight.

The whole city was busy and busy, but no one showed a smile on their faces, more sad, tired, and numb.

The Sri Lankan is dead, and the living must continue to live!

Overnight, the sounds of funerals were heard endlessly, the city was full of silence, paper money was flying in the streets and alleys, and the sound of crying came from every house, making those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears!
The whole town was empty, and there were only a few passers-by on the street, passing by in a hurry, without any communication with each other.

Lin Bei was sitting in the house, and there was the sound of crying from the next door.

The father and son of the Li family went to one of them again. Sadly, Li Fei, who had the most potential, died.

Died in the beast horde, this made Old Li feel extremely sad.

In the blacksmith's shop, only half of the blacksmiths were left, and their faces were sad but also a little bit happy.

Glad I survived!

Jiang Dali, on the contrary, was bedridden because of his injury, escaped the disaster, and let his son take care of him all the time.

It can only be said that misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune!
Destiny is a mysterious thing that no one can really understand.

After visiting the two most familiar places, Lin Bei came to Yang's Medical Center.

People came and went in the Yang's Medical Center, it was extremely lively, and the wounded and patients even formed a long queue.

Physician Yang Xing was so busy that he was treating a number of injured patients.

As a doctor, he naturally did not go to the front line to fight the beast horde, but has been doing rescue work in the rear.

Lin Bei was fine, so he stayed in the hospital to help, improving his medical skills while saving lives and healing the wounded.

His current medical skills are about to catch up with Dr. Yang Xing. After a while, he can consider searching for knowledge about alchemy.

……

Time passed, and on the third day, many merchants brought batches of healing medicines into Changsheng Town, and before leaving, they took away cartloads of beast corpses.

Two more days passed.

Someone knocked on Lin Bei's door.

"Haha, little brother, do you remember me? I said I would treat you to a good drink!"

The commander of the city guards smiled boldly, carrying good wine and meat, and stepped into Lin Bei's home.

"Little brother is really a dragon among men. At such a young age, he can already dominate the battlefield and fight against the beasts of the dragon veins, which is admirable!"

The commander of the city guard was not stingy with words of praise, and he expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"It's really unexpected that there is such a Qianlong hidden in a small shoal like our Changsheng Town."

The commander of the city guard drank a bowl of wine, smacked his lips, and gave Lin Bei a thumbs up.

Lin Bei is really too young, and his young age rivals the combat power of the dragon veins. If he is given some time, this potential may not be much worse than the talents on the Qianlong list.

"The leader has won the award."

Lin Bei was humble and polite, but he didn't feel offended.

A man who was born in the army like the commander of the city guard has a bold air.

Lin Bei is quite happy to deal with this kind of people, as long as they don't come to find fault.

He picked up a piece of exotic animal meat, put it into his mouth, and while chewing, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Following the example of the commander of the city guards, he smacked his mouth, and then he asked: "What is the commander's coming this time?"

"Hey, it's polite to call the Commander. Brother Yu is falsely older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Cui!"

The city guard commander waved his hand.

His real name is Cui Shanhe, with a touch of grandeur in his rustic atmosphere.

"Then I'll call you Brother Cui."

Lin Bei was not polite, and asked directly and repeatedly: "But I don't know why Brother Cui came here this time?"

Cui Shanhe poured down a bowl of wine again, put the bowl on the table, and then he was a little serious: "I came here to visit, first of all, I want to thank the little brother for saving me that day."

Lin Bei interrupted: "There is no need to thank you. Brother Cui fought the enemy bravely in the beast tide that day, which played a vital role in the entire battle."

"The rescue of you that day was not out of personal affection, but it was actually for the overall situation, for my own safety."

Lin Bei told the truth.

The battle was fierce that day, if the commander of the city guard died, he would be trapped in endless siege, and those old guys hiding in the guard group would not come to rescue him.

"That's what I said, but one yard counts for one yard, and the grace of saving is the grace of saving."

Cui Shanhe said seriously: "I, Cui Shanhe, have kept this kindness in my heart, if one day you need me, just ask me!"

He knew that the yellow and white things on his body might not be able to repay the kindness, so he directly gave Lin Bei a promise.

There are five forces in Changsheng Town, namely the four major families and the city guards.

Among the four big families, except for the Lu family where the mayor Lu Anbai belongs to is an upstart, the other three have a history of nearly a hundred years.

And the Lu family, under the leadership of the mayor Lu Anbai, can mobilize the resources of the yamen's arrest, which is considered the most powerful force.

In addition, it is the city guard.

This is an army specially equipped to guard against beast hordes. It's not that big, but it's half a regular army at least.

The power is estimated to be equal to that of the Lu family, and he is only under the jurisdiction of Lu Amber in name, but in fact the other party has no control at all.

Cui Shanhe, the commander of the city guards, is its actual controller. With this power, it can be called the fifth force in Changsheng Town.

Therefore, his promise is worth a thousand gold in Changsheng Town!
But Lin Bei didn't take it seriously. He felt that this kind of promise was not as cost-effective as directly giving some silver taels.

However, he wasn't too short of money now, so he didn't speak up brazenly.

"It's the second thing."

Cui Shanhe didn't wait for Lin Bei to speak, he pondered for a while, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms: "Here is 1000 taels of silver, which is your reward for this battle."

1000 taels of silver!

Lin Bei looked at the bank notes on the table, and was delighted, but not too surprised.

He fought the enemy bravely, turned the tide, and beheaded so many strange beasts. He has made great contributions, and he should be the first.

And these strange beasts were sold to merchants by the government.

Here, of course, he also has his share.

1000 taels of silver should be almost the same.

After he killed all directions on the battlefield and demonstrated his No. 1 strength in Changsheng Town, it was basically predictable that Lu Anbai and Cui Shanhe would not be able to withhold the money.

Now it seems that it is indeed as he expected!
