Chapter 154 Come on, line up to buy your lives!
"The young lady is incredibly kind and virtuous, truly as beautiful as a celestial being..."
The group almost burst into tears, quickly expressed their gratitude, and then turned to run away.
"Wait, did I say you could leave?" She sighed softly and said:
"I wanted to spare you... but your luck isn't so good. My whip hasn't drawn blood in a long time. What am I going to do?"
Before they could beg for mercy, he smiled and said, "How about this? You two line up in pairs and tell me how much the other person's life is worth."
I think that's appropriate. Leave the money, slap yourself ten times, and swear that if you ever rob or abuse women again, you'll cut off your own manhood. Then I'll let you go.
If the price is too low... well, since it's practically worthless, I'll just buy it and leave it here as fertilizer.
There will always be people who will "bravely" fight for their money and for the money they have to pay to save their lives.
A fat man with shifty eyes spoke in a deep, passionate voice:
"Don't go too far! Brothers, she's all alone now. Let's all attack together, she's not afraid of running away... Ah!"
Of course, while some people were speaking, others were echoing them: "That's right, this is robbery! I'm going to report you to the county government! Uh, uh, let... let me go!"
One of them was stabbed in the thigh by Lin Chunyi with his tail, and he collapsed to the ground bleeding profusely.
Immediately afterwards, another person was tightly wrapped around the neck by her whip, her face turning purple from the choking, before she was slammed to the ground and lay prone.
"Hmph, these days, the world's really wide open; even cattle and horses dare to try and speak human language." She expressionlessly withdrew her whip.
"A thug blocking the road wants to sue a frail woman who was stopped? You think you're so special just because you have a human face? You think you can sue me?"
He clapped his hands again and continued smiling at the other trembling people, saying:
"I advise you not to struggle unnecessarily. Not only will you get hurt and in pain, but you'll also have to spend more money, won't you?"
Alright, the naughty ones are all taken care of. Come on, everyone, let's line up! The first to line up gets to go first!
First, there was the malnourished, skinny man who spoke first, and then the tall, strong, dark-skinned young man who was crying from fright.
They quickly stood at the very front.
The skinny man pointed at the other man and said, "Big Black, quickly take out all the money you have on you."
Big Black was a little dumbfounded, but he immediately realized: the meaning of buying life with money is to hand over all the money on his body, right?
If he were more self-aware, perhaps this ancestor would be happy and actually let him off the hook.
Money is nothing compared to life!
He nodded, giving the other person a reciprocating look, and sniffed, saying:
"Second brother, you should also hand over all the money you have, and then we can leave." There were still traces of crying in his voice.
So the skinny man cautiously asked Lin Chunyi, "Do you think it's appropriate for us to use all the money we have to buy our own lives?"
"Hmm~ Since you're sincere, you can begin." After receiving Lin Chunyi's nod, the two began slapping themselves.
"I, Zhao Dahei, swear that I will never again commit robbery or harassment of women..."
"Slap!" "Slap..."
"I, Zhao Er, swear..."
"Slap!" "Slap..."
The two men, ignoring their numb and swollen cheeks, took out all the silver and copper coins they had on them, as well as the two coins hidden in their hair, and offered them to the gods with both hands.
Before letting them go, Lin Chunyi warned, "Remember, find something legitimate to do in the future. If I find out again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He added with a hint of disdain, "Wipe the coins you dug out of the soles of your shoes clean, then put them here and leave."
The two unconsciously squeezed their legs together, then were overjoyed.
She quickly wiped the coins with her sleeve and put all the money into the open cloth bag in her hand.
"Thank you, young lady! Thank you, young lady! We will definitely turn over a new leaf and be good people from now on!" Then, as if chased by a ghost, they disappeared without a trace.
The people behind them saw this and realized they really let them go!
The two who had just been disciplined became obedient and quickly got up to form a team, starting to imitate Zhao Er and Zhao Dahei.
He took out all the money he had, slapped himself ten times, swore a solemn oath, and was then released.
The whole process was incredibly smooth.
The third and last group realized that the woman was genuinely willing to let them go, and they started to have their own agendas.
She doesn't have any magical powers; how could she know how much money they had?
Both of them thought they were hinting at something, so they winked at each other, trying to tell each other to underreport the amount.
One of them started making up a story, pretending to be serious: "Hey, I know you've had a tough life, your family's so poor you can barely afford food... but today there's no other way, this is your chance to live! Hand over the last five coins you have!"
"Playing tricks?" Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow but didn't interrupt, letting them continue their act.
Another one feigned pity, saying, "Lai Tou, you're no different. Yesterday you borrowed money everywhere in the village, just bought medicine for your seventy-year-old bedridden mother, and you only have eight coins left. Sigh, take it all out..."
The two of them acted quite convincingly; their eyes even reddened as they spoke, and they looked extremely pitiful.
In fact,
Lai Tou, his eyes red, glared at Ma Zi: "You son of a bitch Ma Zi! Why should I give you three more coins? I only asked you to give me five! You ungrateful bastard!"
Ma Zi glared back: "Are you stupid? We agreed on the exact amount of money, that shrewish woman will definitely be suspicious!"
Lai Tou continued to glare at him: Stop trying to fool me, do you think I'm stupid? You said four coins wouldn't do?
Lin Chunyi watched speechlessly as these two idiots glared at each other in front of her, as if they were determined to infect each other with their red-eye disease.
It seemed the two were dissatisfied with the numbers the other had given them, and they started arguing while exchanging glances.
This argument is going to go on forever.
So she coughed lightly, "Ahem! You two, have you decided? Are you sure it's five coins or eight coins?"
Lai Tou felt utterly ripped off, having spent an extra three coins!
There's no way to change our story now; we'll definitely be discovered.
He could only grit his teeth and nod, forcing a smile: "Yes, yes, girl, shall we begin?"
He reached out to slap her in the face. What did a few slaps matter? As long as it could smooth things over regarding the money!
Lin Chunyi waved her hand, "You two, no need to slap them anymore~"
No more beatings? Did this woman have a change of heart and couldn't bear it anymore?
Without thinking twice, the two happily took out a few copper coins and were about to put them into Lin Chunyi's cloth bag.
She took back her bag and gave a strange laugh: "Oh dear, why are you giving me money? I should be the one giving you this money!"
?
No need to get slapped, and no need to pay? Could it be that this woman has taken a fancy to me?
The two men touched their handsome faces, feeling a sense of pride.
Before they could finish gloating, Lin Chunyi's next words sent them plummeting from the sky into hell.
