Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 28: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkeys (Please Read!)

"I don't care about all that. I only know that when our family was almost starving to death, no one came to help us. Now that they have money, they come to rob us. What were they doing before? This money was earned by my son with his life. Anyone who comes to rob him is trying to kill him. They deserve to die!"

As she spoke, Mother Gu glanced coldly at the people around her.

Some people around who had ulterior motives looked embarrassed and a little unnatural.

At this time, some noisy voices came from outside, mixed with some "The clan leader is here!" and "Hurry, make way for the clan leader!"

An old man with a cane and a neatly trimmed beard entered the yard. Seeing Gu Yuan holding a long sword and about to attack, he hurriedly shouted:
"stop!"

Gu Yuan turned a deaf ear, raised his hand and chopped, and the sword flashed.

puff--

Gu Laosan only felt his arm go cold, and then a sharp pain came.

Looking down, he saw that one of his hands was broken at the elbow and blood was gushing out.

At the same time, a sharp pain quickly spread from the wound.

“Ah! My hand, my hand!!!”

Gu Laosan opened his eyes wide, hugged his broken arm and screamed, rolling on the ground in pain.

Gu Yuan then shook the sword leisurely to clean the blood off it and put the sword back into its sheath.

Then, he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, threw them at Gu Lao San, and said indifferently:

"Aren't you going to borrow money? These are all yours, and you don't have to pay them back. Are you satisfied?"

Seeing what happened to Gu Lao San, everyone was silent and terrified, not daring to breathe.

"You're so brave, little bastard!"

On the other hand, the old man with the cane was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Gu Yuan and glared at him, "How dare you hurt someone in front of me, the village chief? Do you still have me as the clan leader in your eyes? Do you still respect the family rules? Believe it or not, I will punish you according to the family rules!"

As he spoke, some men from the village behind him glared at Gu Yuan with unfriendly expressions, but they did not act rashly because Gu Yuan was holding a sword in his hand.

"Master Gu."

Gu Yuan smiled disapprovingly: "Even if I don't tell you what kind of character this Third Gu is, you already know it, right?"

"What's your relationship with him? What's your relationship with my family? If I really listened to you, I would have suffered the consequences today!"

"you"

Gu Cun's righteous beard trembled, and he was about to say something when he heard Gu Yuan continue:
"To tell you the truth, Third Gu deserves what he's done! He stole the money the Qian family was giving me as compensation. I deserve to kill this bastard! Even if Butler Wu knew about this, he'd probably applaud!"

"Because of your age, I only broke his arm. In fact, you should be grateful for my mercy."

Many people widened their eyes and were terrified. They never expected that Gu Yuan was so bold as to speak to the clan leader in this way.

And he speaks in a very organized way. Is this still the Gu Yuan who used to speak slowly and act in a single-minded way?

Hearing the two key words "Qian Mansion" and "Butler Wu", Gu Cunzheng, who was furious, fell silent. At this time, a smart guy next to him saw this and quickly repeated what had just happened.

When Gu Cunzheng heard that the housekeeper Wu from the Qian Mansion in the county came to apologize to Gu Yuan in person, his eyelids twitched.

As the village chief and the head of the Gu clan, he had naturally heard of the Qian family in the county town. They were a renowned tycoon in the county, and even the county magistrate had to be polite to the Qian family's head. Unlike the villagers around him who were superficially focused on the silver, he saw deeper.

How could ordinary mountain people have the qualifications to make the Qian family bow down?
Therefore, Butler Wu came to apologize to Gu Yuan in person. There must be a reason for this!
At least one thing is certain - the Gu Yuan in front of them is definitely not a simple person, and even the Qian family does not want to offend him too much.

"Humph, it's your own fault!"

Thinking of this, Gu Cunzheng glared fiercely at Gu Laosan lying on the ground, said something, and left with a gloomy face with the help of the people around him.

He didn't know what had happened to Gu Yuan, but even the Qian family didn't want to offend Gu Yuan, so why was he still getting involved?!
As for Gu Lao San, this guy was the one who caused the trouble, and he deserved to be taught a lesson by Gu Yuan!
Anyway, this guy is not his biological grandson, so he won’t feel sad if he dies.

Besides, isn't he still dead?!
What, Gu Yuan was too harsh?

Ah.
In previous years, no less than ten people have been hanged on the crooked tree at the entrance of the village ancestral hall.

There is a river behind the village, where many people have sunk and many pig cages have been submerged. If we go to the river to fish now, we might be able to pull up a few corpses.

Gu Yuan only cut off an arm, and in his opinion, it was not a big deal.

Seeing that Muramasa turned around and left without saying a word, Gu Laosan and the other villagers were dumbfounded and didn't understand why the patriarch left.

But some smart people guessed the reason and started muttering to each other, glancing at Gu Yuan from time to time with a hint of fear in their eyes, and then hurried away.

Only Sun Zhong looked at Gu Yuan with a pair of shiny black eyes, full of envy and admiration.

I just felt that Gu Yuan first swung his sword to chop someone's arm, and then confronted Muramasa in front of everyone without losing the upper hand, which scared everyone. This kind of ability is really extremely awe-inspiring!

Then he was pulled away by Widow Sun.

Gu Laosan, who was originally crying and cursing, was dumbfounded when he saw that everyone left one after another and no one paid any attention to him.

He didn't expect that even Muramasa didn't dare to take care of this matter.

Especially when he saw Gu Yuan looking at him with a smile on his face, his hand stroking the hilt of the sword, with a look of ill intention.

Besides feeling resentful, he couldn't help but feel frightened and nervous, fearing that Gu Yuan might do something else.

In his eyes, Gu Yuan now looked cruel and vicious, almost no different from a demon!
"What do you want to do? Don't come over here!"

His face was so swollen that his eyelids could hardly open. He subconsciously took a few steps back, then grabbed the broken arm on the ground and ran out the door when the other party was not paying attention, as if there were a dozen vicious dogs chasing him.

Gu Yuan did not stop him.

With today's killing of the chicken to scare the monkey, coupled with the previous fate of Dong Gui and Sun Er, Gu Yuan has established his image as a ruthless person. I believe that no one will dare to covet this money in the future.

In fact, Gu Yuan also knew why these neighbors who were usually kind had evil thoughts today.

It was simply that life was hard, and the family had little food stored for the winter, and they were even afraid of starvation. When they saw that Gu Yuan's family suddenly received such a large sum of money, they naturally had some bad thoughts.

People were almost starving to death. In the face of life and death, shame, good and evil, and the little friendships of the past seemed to have become unimportant.

There is nothing wrong with this, and Gu Yuan can understand it.

But understanding is one thing, but the suffering of these people was not caused by Gu Yuan, so why should he bear the suffering of these people?
