Chapter 18 A resounding victory, the distribution of spoils.
The battle ended quickly.
The situation was almost one-sided.
All 120-plus bandits were dealt with.
No one expected to win so easily and smoothly.
Some villagers even felt they hadn't had enough.
"They're all gone?"
"Hey, I've only killed one, I'm not satisfied yet."
"Huh? I haven't even started yet, how come they've all collapsed?"
"Hahaha, these bandits are nothing special! I thought they could take on ten men each. I used to get weak in the knees whenever I thought of bandits."
"Hehehe, you guys are really weak. I killed three of them! I'm sure I'll get a lot of loot this time~ This was so awesome, I want to do it again~"
"Get out of here! What nonsense are you spouting! If it weren't for Su Dahai and his daughter's brilliant idea of setting up a trap beforehand, do you really think these bandits are so easy to deal with?"
"Hehe, I was just saying that, I wouldn't actually dare to do it again."
With all the bandits dealt with, Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai both breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming that no one had escaped, the two returned to the village entrance to organize the villagers.
"Everyone, quiet down!" Su Yunhai shouted.
The village fell silent instantly, and everyone watched Su Yunhai and his daughter with great interest.
This was the backbone who led them to victory against more than a hundred bandits!
They must be respected!
"Everyone cooperated very well this time. We killed all 120-plus bandits! And we were completely unharmed!"
"But we cannot let our guard down yet."
“We had spies of the bandits in our village before, and it’s hard to say that there aren’t spies in other villages. We must hurry up and get rid of these bandits as soon as possible.”
"To all our friends who came to help, thank you so much for your assistance. After we've tallied up the spoils, please take them home and persuade your families to leave with us!"
"Otherwise, once the bandit leader discovers that these bandits have not returned for a long time, he will definitely send people down to investigate, and then it will be impossible to hide it."
"We must escape as soon as possible."
"Now, I'll assign tasks to everyone to count the spoils. Let's finish this quickly!"
Su Yunhai felt extremely anxious, and this was by no means an exaggeration.
The villagers then realized that the crisis was not completely over!
The bandits came to rob them of their supplies. If they failed to steal any food and learned that the bandits had killed so many bandits, they would definitely face a fierce revenge from the bandit leader!
Once they understood this, the villagers who had just been smug were all terrified and their faces turned pale.
Without being urged, everyone was working at top speed to dispose of the corpses, clean up the battlefield, and count the spoils of war.
The most spoils the bandits brought this time were naturally wheelbarrows, handcarts, and livestock.
The livestock suffered considerable damage in the battle, and many vehicles were also destroyed.
But half of it is still intact.
However, the livestock are still in a state of tension and may attack humans at any time, so they need to be calmed down for a while.
The bandits didn't carry much silver, but it still amounted to more than eight hundred taels.
There were seventeen intact cows, eight donkeys, eleven mules, and seven ponies.
There were more than forty cars of various sizes.
One hundred and three villagers came to help, and each person's contribution was different, so the supplies they received were naturally different.
The number of livestock and vehicles is limited; if distributed among people, there simply won't be enough to go around.
Furthermore, these animals are all young and strong, and no one is willing to kill them and divide the meat.
The person with the most meritorious service can be awarded a livestock or a cart, plus a silver reward.
Most of those who performed poorly received a considerable amount of meat and silver.
Everyone was satisfied with the allocation result.
After all, they didn't put in much effort; getting kills was all luck, not due to their own strength.
As for the Su family...
Su Yunhai and Shen Shuli received the most spoils.
The father and daughter each received two of the best oxen, two horses, two mules, and one donkey.
Five hundred catties of beef, three hundred catties of donkey meat, and one hundred catties of horse meat.
Five handcarts and five wheelbarrows, plus four hundred taels of silver.
None of the villagers had any objections.
After all, everyone has seen the father and daughter's achievements.
Without their strategic planning and the fact that they killed the most enemies, they certainly wouldn't be alive today.
They saw the villagers who had helped them off.
The old village chief continued to distribute the first batch of spoils to the villagers.
"Fortunately, Su Dahai discovered the bandit attack early and notified everyone in time."
"I don't think I need to say more; you all know what I mean."
"This time we obtained a total of twelve horses, 1,302 taels of silver, and about 12,000 catties of horse meat."
"Dahai, I'm going to give you and your daughter each a horse, two hundred taels of silver, and two thousand catties of horse meat. What do you think?"
Su Yunhai glanced at Shen Shuli, and only agreed after seeing her nod: "We can do whatever the village chief says."
The old village chief nodded in satisfaction and continued to speak to the villagers: "Of the remaining ten horses, I plan to give one horse, fifty taels of silver and five hundred catties of horse meat to each of the families killed by the bandits. The rest will be distributed according to their merits."
In the fight against the first group of bandits, eight villagers died and five were seriously injured.
The key point is that they died fighting to protect the village.
The village must provide compensation.
They are the pillars of their families; without them, these small families would have a very difficult time.
With these supplies, their lives will be a little easier.
It can be said that the old village chief's distribution was quite reasonable.
Although some villagers were unhappy, they only dared to mutter to themselves and did not dare to refute it.
"Waaaaah, village chief, how are we going to divide this? Four people in my family died!"
"Yes, village chief, my husband was also killed by bandits. Shouldn't our family get a share?"
“My parents-in-law, husband, and children are all dead, and I’m all alone. How am I going to survive? Village chief, you can’t be biased! You have to give me a bigger share!”
These were families whose homes had been broken into and killed by bandits at the beginning. Now that they saw they wouldn't get a share of the spoils, they all became anxious.
The old village chief looked at them, feeling helpless and sorry for them, but there were only so many supplies, how could they possibly provide for everyone?
To put it bluntly...
They were just unlucky; they weren't killed while fighting the bandits together for the village, so they weren't entitled to any supplies.
"I know something happened to your family, but it's all fate."
"They were able to receive these because they fought to protect the village; others were not entitled to them," the old village chief said bluntly.
But these people still wouldn't let it go.
They cried and made a scene demanding a distribution, even if they couldn't get any live livestock, they should at least get some silver and meat!
Why is there absolutely nothing!
Those families involved in protecting the village couldn't stand it anymore and immediately came out to refute it.
"We don't even have enough to go around with those who participated in the fight, so why should we give any to you who did nothing but want a share? Do you think you're so important just because someone in your family died?"
"Exactly! We could have donated some supplies to help you through this difficult time, since something happened to your family. But you've turned out to be so greedy!"
"Village chief, we absolutely cannot bring this up, otherwise wouldn't those who weren't involved also want to get involved and get a share of the pie?"
"Yes, we absolutely cannot give any to them!"
