Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

After searching for the money, the maids had to carry the body to the riverbank, and eventually they became numb to the sight of the corpse.

They didn't finish dealing with everything until dawn. They extinguished the torches, covered the bloodstains on the ground with sand, and released all the boats on the river to avoid attracting other river bandits.

Xiao Hei chained up the souls of all the bandits. While alive, they might do evil and no one would care, but after they died, they would have to slowly pay their debts. Looking at the black aura on their bodies, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to reincarnate for at least a thousand or eight hundred years.

From screaming at the beginning to silently helping to collect the bodies, it can only be said that serial killers are trained.

Xiong Bufan fell asleep on the chair. Jiang Yue wrapped him in a blanket and gently carried him back.

Over the course of the night, everyone gained a lot and their mindset changed significantly. It turns out that everyone is hard when they die, and there is no difference between men and women.

The villagers went out fishing early in the morning and saw the remaining traces. They thought that the clan chief's family had suffered a disaster. They knew that women could not be trusted to run a household, and that the family had been wiped out in less than half a month.

However, this time the bandits were quite tactful and didn't commit any evil deeds in the village. It's probably because the clan chief's family was too wealthy, which allowed them to escape unscathed.

Liu Zongyao patted his chest, still shaken, then packed up his tools and headed home.

The clan chief's house must have a lot of good stuff. Let's see if the bandits have left yet. If they have, he can go in and take a look to see if there's anything valuable. If he can't find anything valuable, he'll find something usable. He never picks and chooses to do business without any investment.

The other early risers in the village, just like Liu Zongyao, all went home and then quietly slipped away to the clan chief's house.

If you're capable, you'll be a clan leader; if you're not, you'll remain a commoner. Who's more noble than whom?

The clan leader has always been chosen through his own efforts, which is one of the reasons why they did not object to Xiong Bufan becoming the clan leader in the first place.

There was no sound coming from inside the house. Liu Zongyao and the others all wanted to jump over the wall to go in and take a look, but the thorns on the top of the wall were too fierce, and there was nowhere to grab onto. Their hands were burning with pain from the thorns, so they had to give up on jumping over the wall and turned to the back door instead.

The bodies of Wu Zhiqiang and his men were still hanging there. The villagers were startled when they saw them and quickly covered their mouths, afraid of making a sound, remembering the purpose of their visit.

The women in that house were so cruel and immoral. They actually hung the man's corpse outside to be exposed to the rain and sun. What's the difference between that and whipping a corpse? They deserved to be wiped out now.

There was no one around the back door, and weeds were growing nearby. Everything was quiet. The villagers peeked through the crack in the door, but there was no one inside. Everything was still in its place, and there was no sign of bandits.

Three people could only squeeze through the crack in the door, and they seemed determined to keep going. Liu Zongyao stood behind them, anxiously asking, "What's going on? What's happening inside?"

Liu Zongqi stepped out of the door and said irritably, "Go see for yourself, I'm going fishing."

The clan chief's family wasn't attacked by bandits at all; they were all mistaken. The most important thing was to hurry up and go fishing. Fishing in winter is difficult enough, and they were wasting so much time.

Liu Zongyao gently nudged Liu Zongqi and then moved closer himself.

Everything seemed normal, except the person was gone. Clinging to a sliver of hope, Liu Zongyao asked the other villagers, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Liu Zongqi was the first to object, saying, "You go if you want, I'm not going." Then he left.

The other four villagers looked at each other, they had seen the girl's fighting prowess before, and it was really not worth getting beaten up for something.

Liu Zongwei followed closely behind Liu Zongqi, saying, "I'm not going either, I want to go fishing too." Liu Zongxin glanced at the two people who had left and followed them without hesitation.

The remaining two, Liu Zongzhong and Liu Zongfeng, were long-term laborers in the old clan chief's house. After running back that day, they became more and more resentful. They hadn't even gotten their wages back. Hadn't they worked for free for several months? They kept planning to come to the clan chief's house to ask for their money back.

Hearing Liu Zongyao's words, he hesitated before saying, "Let's go."

The back door was locked. Liu Zongzhong said, "I know a low wall that we can jump over."

"Walk"

The maids and cooks were resting in the room; they were exhausted from moving the corpses all night. Jiang Yue sat on the bed, counting the money in her purse over and over again. The thought that so much money was hers made her happy.

Panpan was still living in her old room. She rubbed her hands with soap and ash many times, but she always felt that there was a faint bloody smell on her hands, which was terrifying.

When Panpan went out to get some water, she saw the three people who had sneaked in. "Ahhh, come here, mmm mmm."

Liu Zongyao ran over and quickly covered Panpan's mouth, whispering a threat: "Shut up, or I'll kill you."

Panpan nodded at the two people in front of her, pondering how to let Xiong Bufan know.

Liu Zongfeng began searching Panpan's body, first pulling off the money bag from Panpan's waist. He opened it and found two silver dollars, more than the combined wages of the two of them.

"Little girl, you're quite wealthy. Where did you earn your money? I'd like to patronize your business." As he spoke, his hands began to wander, pulling the silver hairpin from Panpan's hair and then reaching inside to pinch Panpan's breasts.

Life and death are minor matters, but reputation is paramount. In the village, being harassed would result in being drowned in a pig cage. Panpan's tears flowed freely. Who could save her? She didn't want to die, nor did she want to lose her reputation.

With a bang, Liu Zongfeng fell to the ground. Then a second shot rang out, and Liu Zongzhong also knelt on the ground.

Jiang Yue stood there with the musket, put it on safety, and then pointed it at Liu Zongyao. "Let go of that woman and get out of here."

Liu Zongyao was terrified. He hadn't expected there to be a gun. He drew the knife from his waist and held it against Panpan's neck. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her."

He wasn't stupid; he knew this woman wouldn't let him leave on her own. It would be safer to hold her hostage.

As soon as Liu Zongyao heard, "I hate being threatened more than anything in my life. You've never died, have you?" before he could even turn around, his arm was gone.

Xiong Bufan stood behind Panpan, still holding Liu Zongyao's arm in his hand. Xiong Bufan disgustedly threw it aside, and Liu Zongyao lay on the ground rolling around in pain.

Panpan hugged Xiong Bufan and cried, "Master, they bullied me and stole my silver." Panpan automatically skipped over the matter of being molested because she was unsure whether the new clan leader would drown her in a pig cage for this.

Jiang Yue put away her gun. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kill someone. Although she was still a little scared, she couldn't hide her excitement. Looking at Panpan, she said mercilessly, "The one who bullied you is dead. Now no one will bully you."

Xiong Bufan looked at Panpan, whose face was covered in snot and tears, and thought she was filthy. "If you dare to smear your snot and tears on me, I'll cripple you."

Panpan indeed released Xiong Bufan, and pitifully cried out, "Master—"

"To shut up"

Xiong Bufan threw the three people on the ground outside the yard to save them from taking up space inside. Did they even pay for the space? How dare they lie there and sleep?
