Chapter 7: In the Ruined Village of Cronning (8)

"Huh?" Many people, including Webber and Dissol, turned their heads in confusion and looked at Squeefa.

I saw Squifa carrying Dolgon's head and slowly walked to Weber's side.

"I think this head is still for you." As he spoke, Squifa handed Dolgon's head back to Weber.

Webb and everyone were stunned.

Alexandra also looked at Squifa in surprise.

"Oh? Is he going to give up the $50,000?" The woman wondered.

"W-......?" And Weber was even more surprised and said, "Mr. Squifa, ...... you?"

"You need the $50,000 more than I do." Squeeze said, "Take it, go and get the bounty and come back and rebuild your village."

"But, but......," Webber hesitated, "he wasn't killed by us!" As I said earlier, we can't encroach on ......."

"Well, strictly speaking, I didn't kill this dwarven thief." Skuifa stretched out his finger and pointed at Alexandria, and said, "I did use the magic of thunder to kill this whole group of thieves, but what about this dwarven thief...... Didn't you see that too? He blew himself up, in order to die with this woman."

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned, and Alexandri, who was pointed at by Shi Kuifa, also said "Huh", as if he didn't expect Shi Kuifa to suddenly point at her.

Shi Kuifa said, "I know that the village elder, you probably think that whoever kills this gang of thieves with more strength and kills more people has the qualification to take the head of this thief leader to receive the bounty.

"But let's get one yard and one yard, don't confuse the facts, after all, each thief is also an independent individual - since this thief Dolgon blew himself up, then there is no fact of who killed him, and there is no credit for who killed him. Therefore, whoever cuts off the head of his corpse first will be eligible to take his head to receive a bounty."

Not only is there no logical problem with this statement, but the meaning of "giving way" is also obvious. Gainskwefa had already learned that Weber, the village chief, was an honest man of integrity and principle, but a little too obsessed with the subtleties.

At present, the village of Cronning is in ruins, and it is indeed necessary to rebuild the funds, and even if Weber takes his head in exchange for a bounty, it is for the public, not for private use.

And Shi Kuifa also felt that if he took this money, it would be meaningless. Although he was born as an orphan and grew up on a life path that relied heavily on social welfare and loans, and had little savings, he was not a stingy person.

In addition, after all, he is a Chinese who has grown up under the influence of Chinese communist ideology, and knows that resources should not be used alone, but should be used by the public; Moreover, he is also a doctor of Chinese, and he has long been immersed in the belief of "helping the world" that Chinese intellectuals have believed in since ancient times, and the reason why Shi Kuifa thought that he did not need this head so much made Shi Kuifa have made up his mind to return Dolgon's head to Weber at this moment to help rebuild the village of Kron.

Seeing that Weber was still a little hesitant and did not take Dorgon's head, Squifa took the initiative and shoved the dwarven thief's head back into Weber's hands.

"Okay, village chief, don't be so stiff in your thoughts." Shi Kuifa smiled and said, "In my hometown, there is a famous saying that 'the great line does not care about the details.'" Just to do big or important things, you don't need to be stuck in small details. It is of course very good to have morality and principles, but it is not good to be rigid enough to be too modest, and if you miss the task of rebuilding the village. Since your village needs money now, you can exchange that head for money."

Weber looked at Shi Kuifa, already understanding that the other party was serious, not pretending to push, so after he was silent for more than ten seconds, he nodded and said angrily, "Thank you! Later, Mr. Squeefer, I will invite you to have a drink—though the house is ruined, I think there must still be a few unopened wines in my cellar—the wine of our village of Cronning, though not as delicious as that of the big city, I can assure you that it will at least leave you with a good taste on your cheeks."

"By all means." Squire said.

And the villagers on the side, seeing that Shi Kuifa gave up directly, many people hurriedly spoke out and expressed their gratitude, as if they had a big stone in their hearts and finally let go, and everyone was relieved. It shows that although the 50,000 yuan is not enough to rebuild the entire village of Cronin, which is in ruins, the villagers still hope to have a fund first, which is better than nothing.

As for Alexandria, he chuckled.

For her, a big killer who has taken on countless assassination cases, 50,000 yuan is just a small amount, and the reward she received after taking the mission has already set her wealth free.

It's just that the behavior of Shi Kuifa and Webb in front of her "giving up" to each other made her feel very interesting and novel.

Gain is in the killer industry, no matter how much money can be obtained in a case, in fact, each killer will still be quite calculating, no one will be polite to each other, as long as they take it in the right way, they will generally accept it with their hearts, and they will never let people easily.

Because no one knows if he will die in the next assassination mission, or if he will be so injured and disabled that he will have to retire. Any amount of money for a task, no matter how much or less, must be obtained, because that may be your last quest bonus.

The seriously injured and disabled killer is bound to change careers, so before changing careers, he can only rely on his own savings to get through this career window, if he doesn't save enough money, then he has to drink the northwest wind. Therefore, among the killers, there is no such thing as "the first level of the exchangeable bonus is in hand, but the person who is more in need of money pushes back and forth and gives each other courtesy", and it is completely impossible to happen.

The behavior of Shi Kuifa and Weber to "give their heads" to each other made Alexandra feel quite peculiar and had a strange feeling in his heart.

"What a strange scene! Obviously the money is at your fingertips, but without hesitation, you will directly give it to others for free...... What strange values!" She thought to herself, "...... But why doesn't it feel annoying?"

In addition, what made Alexandra concerned was what Shi Kuifa had just said.

"'The Great Walk Doesn't Care Carefully'?" She pondered, "Strange, why haven't I heard that? Which country on the continent of 'Burranchin' is this a quote?"

As a big killer who has been active for many years, Alexandra has more or less been to most of the countries and regions of "Bourlanchin", and she knows a little about the customs, history, and sayings and proverbs around the world, but at this moment, she found that she did not know the origin of what Shi Kweifa said.

Of course, Alexandro could not have heard this sentence, and the sentence "Daxing does not care about the details" is from Sima Qian's "Historical Records. Xiang Yu Benji", the original text is "Daxing disregards the details, and the big gifts do not give up", which is what Fan Xu said in order to persuade Liu Bang to run away quickly during the Hongmen banquet. This is the history of China, and it is impossible for people from other worlds to hear of "Bourlanchin".

And it is precisely because Shi Kuifa is a doctor of the Chinese Department that this allusion will come to hand at this moment.

"But this man said that this is a famous quote from his hometown......" Alexandra looked at Skuifa and thought to himself, "Huh? Could it be that this person with such powerful magic came from a country or region that I didn't know yet? Or did he make up a pseudonym or a fake origin? Well, the name and origin are a mystery......

The beautiful swordsman couldn't help but become more and more interested in the strange man in front of her.

By this time, Weber, who was already carrying Dolgon's head, turned to the crowd and said, "All right, then let it be. We are very grateful to Mr. Shi Kuifa for his courtesy, and this head will be kept by me for the time being. Let's get back to tidying up our homes! Later, we will elect a representative, take this head, and go to the 'Ochute Empire' to receive the reward."

Evening.

The sun has set.

Under the gradually dark sky, the village of Cronin, which had been destroyed by the war, was gradually blackened by the night.

The moon slowly rises into the sky.

It is impossible to clean up the home at once. Everyone also knew that when the moonlight fell, everyone invariably stopped the movements of their hands.

All the houses and ruined walls have been searched and turned over, and the bodies of the dead villagers have been moved to the small square in the center of the village; The corpses of the thieves were all dragged to another remote place outside the village, and the villagers took away their valuables, as well as the usable weapons, and even the clothes, pants, shoes and boots that were still intact, and then set a fire to the corpses of the thieves under the leadership of the village chief Weber, and burned all the corpses of the thieves.

As for the remains of the villagers in the small square, the villagers have reached a consensus and are ready to hold a collective funeral together tomorrow, and then collectively cremate and bury them.

After disposing of the corpses of the thieves, Weber said to the surviving villagers, "Let's do this today. Everyone is tired today, so let's rest. I'll be busy tomorrow morning for the rest." Then, he began to distribute how the villagers rested, and began to integrate the remaining resources at hand, including food and temporary housing, and Weber, as the village chief, began to distribute them fairly.

At this time, of course, the villagers did not distinguish between you and me - anyway, everyone's houses, food and property were burned or smashed, and even if the remnants could be found in the ruins, most of them were all dilapidated, or there was not much left, so everyone was willing to hand them over, so that the village chief Weber could reorganize the resources and distribute them equally. Even if others were given what belonged to them, for a while, no one had any opinion on Weber's distribution, and everyone obediently obeyed the order.

However, Skuifa and Alexandra were not among the crowd, and instead of acting with the villagers, they were in the small cabin on the edge of the house where Alexandra had lived for a month.
