Chapter 7 Informer

(Reward: Name: Lai Yang. This thief is extremely brutal. He massacred dozens of people in a single night and killed a county magistrate before escaping. A reward of 100 taels of silver is offered to anyone who provides effective clues. A reward of 1,000 taels of silver is offered to anyone who captures this person, regardless of life or death.)
"Look at the person on this bounty order. He looks a little familiar."

"Wait, Lai Yang, the hero who killed the wolf demon also called himself Lai Yang, right? That can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"He's a murderer wanted by the government? A thousand taels of silver, my goodness, there's actually such a huge reward."

Several people looked at the wanted posters posted by the government, their hearts pounding and their expressions changing again and again.

A few people quietly withdrew from the crowd and hid aside to discuss.

"It seems like it really is him. There's a murderer in our village who killed dozens of people? This is terrifying."

"But he's obviously a very good person. He even shared the wolf meat with us. He doesn't seem like a vicious and evil person."

"No matter what, let's go back and discuss this with the village chief. Let's all keep this to ourselves and not tell anyone else."

"Well, that makes sense. I should go back and discuss it with the village chief first."

Everyone hurriedly sold the wolf demon's materials and then rushed back to the village overnight.

A few people found the village chief, who looked puzzled when he saw them coming back.

In the past, it took two or three days to go back and forth, but this time they returned in just one day. The village chief asked in confusion, "Why did you come back so quickly? Where are your things?"

"Village Chief, we have something very important to tell you. The man at the entrance of our village... he's a wanted criminal by the government. He killed dozens of people overnight, including a county magistrate."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face turned pale. A wanted criminal by the government, and a vicious criminal who had killed dozens of people?

Such a person actually lived in their village, and they had to personally keep him here.

The wolf demon problem in the village has not been resolved yet, and now a murderer has appeared.

"Are you sure? Maybe you recognized the wrong person."

"There's no way he's mistaken. We've all seen the wanted poster, and his name is Lai Yang."

"I heard from Yaya before that he came from a small town in the east because his lover was murdered. He is a person with the same name and surname. It is very likely that he is the one wanted by the government. What should we do, Village Chief?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

The village chief had a headache, stopped several people, and thought for a long time.

"Village chief, why don't we find a way to hand him over to the government? There's a reward of one thousand taels of silver. Even if we divide it among the entire village, each person can get more than ten taels of silver. With this money, our future lives will be much better." One of them had a greedy look on his face and couldn't help but suggested.

After hearing what the other party said, the three people next to him couldn't help but show interest.

You should know that ten taels of silver are enough for a family of four to eat and wear for a year.

As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts, and it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The village chief frowned and scolded coldly.

Several people were shocked and looked at the village chief in confusion, not understanding why he was angry.

"Do you want to bring disaster to our village? No matter what this man did in the past, he killed the wolf demon for us and saved Xiao girl. He has done a favor for our village. How can we be the kind of people who repay kindness with evil and betray our friends? Don't mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame me for expelling him from the village." The village chief's words were very stern.

The three of them's faces changed, and they immediately lowered their heads in shame, not daring to say anything more.

The four left the village chief's house.

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do? The village chief has already said that. Do you want to be expelled from the village?"

"Of course not. Besides, I think the village chief is right. To be honest, I don't think he's that kind of vicious person. Maybe there's some hidden secret?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are not serious, are you? That's a reward of one thousand taels of silver, are you really not tempted?"

One of them touched his head and said honestly, "Of course I'm tempted. I've never seen so much money in my life, but my mother also taught me that some money can be taken and some cannot be taken. I trust the village chief."

"It's up to you."

(You are a bunch of idiots. You don't even want the reward. Since you don't want it, I won't be polite.)
(With one hundred taels, I can live in a safe town and no longer have to worry about wolf monsters.)
A villager thought to himself.

On the other side, for some reason the village chief always felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Thinking of what Liu San had just said, the village chief immediately went to Liu San's house. He was really afraid that he would do something irrational. This guy usually liked to idle around in the village. The housework was basically done by his wife, and he rarely even worked in the fields himself.

This time I let him into the city to find him something to do, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Soon, the village chief came to Liu San's house.

At this moment, Liu San's wife was drying clothes. When she saw the village chief coming, she immediately smiled welcomingly: "Village chief, you are here. Come in and sit down."

"Liu San's wife, is Liu San back?"

"My husband? I haven't seen him. He went into the city. He won't be back for two or three days."

"Hasn't come back yet? That's bad." The village chief's face changed slightly and he turned and left. At this moment, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Eh? Village chief, what's going on?" Liu San's wife was confused.

After a while, the village chief came to the village entrance panting. There were a few people sitting on a big rock at the entrance, enjoying the cool air and chatting.

"Isn't this the village chief? Where is he going?"

"Have you seen Liu San?"

"Liu San, I just saw him rush out and he didn't respond when I called him."

"Quick, send someone to bring Liu San back."

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. The village chief's anxious look did not seem fake.

"What happened, Village Chief? What did that kid Liu San do wrong?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Just go and catch him back. We'll talk about it later if there's anything. He must have gone into the city."

The village chief still has a very high prestige in the village. After hearing the village chief's words, everyone did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly gathered people to take action.

At the same time, Lai Yang heard the commotion at the village entrance and thought something had happened, so he immediately walked out of the house.

"What's wrong? Did something happen here?"

Seeing that it was Lai Yang, the person next to him was slightly startled, and then explained: "I'm not sure, it seems that Liu San has committed crimes again, and the village chief is trying to bring him back."

"Really?" Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, "Where is the village chief?"

"The village chief has taken his men out."

Lai Yang originally wanted to find the village chief and ask if there was anything he could help with.

Since the other party has left, let’s just forget it. It shouldn’t be a big deal.

"Uncle, you are here too."

Suddenly, a girl's joyful voice came to my ears.

Lai Yang turned around and saw Xiao Yaya running towards him. She hugged his arms tightly and smiled sweetly.

"Ahem, there's someone here, let go." Lai Yang subconsciously looked at the villagers next to him.

Seeing this, the villagers' smiles disappeared instantly and they quickly shifted their gazes. Some looked up at the sky and counted the white clouds, some lowered their heads and counted ants, and some whistled.

"What does it matter, hehe~"

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Lai Yang accompanied Xiao Yaya for a walk in the village, and the two talked and laughed.

But most of the time it was Xiao Yaya who was talking and Lai Yang who was listening.

Gradually, the sky became completely dark.

Lai Yang finished washing up and was about to take off his shoes and go to bed when he suddenly heard someone making a noise outside the door.

Then, there was a knock on the door outside.

dong dong dong...
