Even if this matter has passed, fifty taels of silver is a lot of money, enough for an ordinary family to live on for several years. This was an accident, which no one expected, and Village Chief Jiang also showed his sincerity.

But after all, some villagers are resentful. If it wasn’t for the search for Jiang Dacheng, how could someone die?

The one who died was such a young boy, who was about to get married and take on family responsibilities. This young life is priceless!

However, everyone can only think about it in their hearts. The most saddened ones are cousin Lin’s family. Outsiders cannot empathize with them, and they have to get through it on their own.

Lin Xueqing rarely went to her cousin's house to comfort her aunt by asking about her well-being. She was truly more filial than she was to her own mother.

But Jiang Dacheng still had to go look for it. Village chief Jiang looked at the fifty-liang silver note and felt indescribable feelings in his heart. One really should not be greedy, as this windfall could not be kept.

Now even the boss is missing, and it’s all because of these fifty taels of silver notes.

It’s okay to give it away, I just hope I can get the boss back.

After having someone send him the silver note, Village Chief Jiang continued to look for the person. This time he got the result very quickly. As soon as he reached the back mountain and climbed up not long after, he saw some bloodstains and some signs of a messy struggle in the grass.

"Boss!"

Hunter Chen ran over to check first, then turned back and shook his head at everyone, "Let the village chief go back first, I'll clean up here."

"Where's my boss? What are you packing up?"

Village Chief Jiang had already guessed it, but still didn't want to admit it.

"Corpses!"

Hunter Chen looked at him deeply and said coldly that he had no sympathy for him at all. If he insisted on seeking excitement, then let him have his wish.

"What? My boss, I..."

"Do you want to see it with your own eyes, village chief? You have to be mentally prepared. It looks to me like it was dragged here by a pack of wolves. Only scattered large bones are left. Some of the broken bones have been eaten.

But the village chief still sent his family to identify it. After all, I don’t know if this is the remains of your boss. After all, there are only bones.”

Hunter Chen usually doesn't talk much, and it was unusual for him to say so much at this time, which made Village Chief Jiang lose his breath and almost faint.

"How can we identify it if only the bones are left?"

Someone whispered that Jiang Dacheng was a domineering person. Relying on his father being the village chief, he bullied many people in the village. Now that he was dead, many people were secretly happy.

Hunter Chen said, "If there are pieces of clothing or something, we can always recognize it."

"Let me take a look."

Village chief Jiang is the head of the family, he cannot be weak. Even if it is a case of an old man sending off a young man, he has to see it with his own eyes.

The scene before him was beyond Village Chief Jiang's understanding. It was a massacre scene with the smell of blood still lingering in the air. Blood was all over the ground, and the scattered bones and broken flesh gave him a great shock.

"village head!"

Village Chief Jiang actually spat out a mouthful of blood, and Hunter Chen helped him up in time. Someone nearby also came to help him, but the two sides collided with each other and no one could hold on, so Village Chief Jiang rolled down.

"Hey... Village Chief, chase them!"

This is a mess.

Jiang Dacheng died, eaten by a wild wolf. Village chief Jiang couldn't bear the blow and fell down the hillside and fell into a coma. The village chief's family was in chaos.

Li cried and screamed, how could she become a widow overnight?

"It's all because of that jinx, Widow Xu. She's the one who brought bad luck to my man. It must have something to do with her. If it weren't for her, my man wouldn't have died."

The wife of Jiang Daxi, the second son of the Jiang family, couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Widow Xu has nothing to do with us, how can she be unlucky?

Besides, she has a man backing her up now, so don't talk nonsense, Chen the Hunter is not someone you can easily bully."

Li just cried and did not dare to curse Widow Xu.

People always pick on the weak, but unfortunately Widow Xu is no longer a weakling.

Jiang Dacheng died just like that, in the wolf's mouth, and all the past grudges were hidden with his death.

Hunter Chen accompanied Widow Xu to pay their respects. Although they had not yet married, their status had been determined. The villagers did not care about so many things. All they needed to do was to undergo a ceremony before they would be husband and wife. No one would say anything if they continued to interact with each other now.

Widow Xu didn't want to come, but Hunter Chen hoped she could face it.

"If you watch him die with your own eyes, the fear that this person brought to you will be gone. Otherwise, you will not be able to get over it."

Hunter Chen's gentle eyes made Widow Xu feel for the first time that she was being pampered by someone. Her eyes could not help but turn red. "You, are you really going to marry me? If you are just helping me out, don't be so nice to me."

Once you have experienced the feeling of being cared for, it will be more painful when you lose that person.

Hunter Chen nodded seriously, "Of course it's true. You don't mind my age, the dangers of hunting, and the fact that I'll become a widow in the future. It's my blessing that you're willing to marry me. As long as I live, I will be responsible for you and take care of you and the children."

Widow Xu was still uneasy. "When my ex-husband died, my husband's family scolded me for being unlucky. Later, the remaining people in my husband's family went to live with their relatives and didn't care about us, saying that I had a bad fate.

You have to live well. You don’t have to hunt. We can still survive by farming. I’m afraid something will happen to you. I really have no way to survive. No one needs to tell me. I also think I’m destined to be unlucky.”

Hunter Chen shook his head, "I don't believe this. I promise you, I won't take any risks. For you and your children, I will also cherish my life."

Hunter Chen and Widow Xu were only together for two short days, but Hunter Chen felt that it was good to have a home, with a caring wife and filial children, and he no longer felt lonely.

So his words were not just to appease Widow Xu, but he truly wanted to start a family.

Widow Xu followed him to attend the funeral, and she was able to face the various looks from the villagers calmly.

Especially when he saw the grief-stricken expressions on the Jiang family's faces, he secretly thought that this was retribution.

Village chief Jiang didn't show up and just lay in the house. After all this trouble, he's almost dead.

Jiang Chen also heard about it and took a special leave to comfort the village chief. Jiang Chen has realized the benefits of having power, even if he is just a small village chief, he cannot be ignored.

He listened to people talking about the hunter Chen and the widow Xu, but he didn't pay much attention and was not interested in these family gossips.

Hunter Chen had nothing to say to the scholar. He just glanced at him and left with Widow Xu.

After just a few days of not seeing him, Village Elder Jiang seemed to have aged ten years, looking like a frail old man.

"Village chief, I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself. You have a family that depends on you. Think about your children and grandchildren. How will they live without you?"

The village chief took his hand and whispered, "I have never done anything wrong in my life. This time I committed a sin for helping you. Is God punishing me?"
