Chapter 17 Decisive
Most of the people in this medicine delivery team were newcomers who had never experienced fighting or seen blood.
Many people turn pale when they see vibrant lives disappear before their eyes.
Some pessimists whispered, "It's all over, it's all over."
Killing one refugee is one thing, but how to stop the rest of the refugees from joining is the real problem!
If it attracts two or three hundred people to gather, can we really kill them all?
The young refugees also suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with anger.
One of them got up, pointed at Li Chuan angrily, and said:
"My lord, we've only come to beg; why must you take our lives!"
"We only dared to come because we heard of the benevolence and righteousness of the Luo family's pharmacy. If you are unwilling to make an donation, we will simply leave!"
"By doing this, what good will you do to the Luo family's reputation, and to uphold morality and propriety!"
The boy's words were logically sound, and he even used lofty principles to pressure people, making them highly persuasive.
As expected, his words stirred up a great deal of emotion among the displaced people.
A barely perceptible smile flashed in the boy's eyes.
He concluded that Li Chuan would pay an even greater price for his previous recklessness!
"Bang!"
Li Chuan flicked a small pebble, which hit the boy squarely between the eyebrows.
The powerful force of the stone made it extremely fast and powerful.
It actually smashed a hole in the boy's forehead.
With a thud.
The boy fell to the ground with a thud.
he died.
"Brother!" a young refugee shouted as he stood up, tears streaming down his face.
"Why are you so cruel? What did my brother say wrong!" He gritted his teeth and shoved Li Chuan forward.
To his surprise, he didn't use much force at all; it was just a way to vent his anger, yet it had a surprisingly good effect.
Li Chuan let out a loud cry, as if he had been struck by a tremendous force.
It flew close to the ground for more than ten meters, until its clothes were worn out before it finally stopped.
His forehead tilted to the side, and he closed his eyes!
"This...this!" The boy stared blankly at his hand.
He didn't exert any force at all!
Things took an unexpected turn.
Some experienced refugees had already slipped away quietly from the crowd.
Previously, refugees held the moral high ground and could oppress others.
But now that they've beaten up the Luo family, what sense of righteousness is left?
Many of the young refugees were also at a loss, not knowing what to say.
The words I've rehearsed many times seem inappropriate to say in this situation!
The medicine delivery team, on the other hand, all looked on with surprise and doubt.
Among them were some martial arts experts who sensed something was amiss.
The boy was thin and sallow, and there was no trace of energy flowing through his body. How could he have such great strength?
Wang Youfang frowned and looked at Li Chuan, when he suddenly saw that Li Chuan's fingers twitched.
Wang Youfang had a sudden inspiration and, in a moment of desperation, shouted:
"How dare you! Your begging attempt turns to violence!"
Having said that, he suddenly attacked, sending one of the refugees flying.
The other martial artists in the medicine delivery team also came to their senses and quickly took action.
In a short time, more than a dozen refugees had been beaten to the ground.
Those refugees who came later hoping to take advantage of the situation dared not make a sound when they saw this display of force.
They all lowered their heads and ran away quickly.
After a while, Li Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
He pretended to cough twice.
Wang Youwei stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Brother Li, are you alright?"
Li Chuan waved his hand:
"It's alright, thank you for your help, Brother Wang."
Their eyes met, and they both understood what the other meant.
At this moment, Luo Houping hurriedly returned.
His robe was torn into strips, and there was a deep scratch that revealed the bone.
It was even still dripping blood.
"Pah!" Luo Houping spat out a mouthful of blood. "If that beast had been any slower, I could have ripped its head off!"
Seeing the two corpses lying on the ground, and the dozen or so vagrants rolling around on the ground, Luo Houping frowned, a cold glint in his eyes:
"What happened?"
As the owner of the Luo family's pharmacy, he knew very well how much damage such an act would do to the Luo family's reputation without a suitable pretext!
Wang Youwei stepped forward and whispered:
"These refugees came to beg, but when they couldn't get their money, they tried to use righteousness to pressure us..."
Before Wang Youwei could finish speaking, Luo Houping interrupted him.
His brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked coldly:
"Who killed him?"
Wang Youwei broke out in a cold sweat, still wanting to explain a few more words.
Li Chuan stepped forward and calmly said:
"I killed him."
Luo Houping raised an eyebrow, surprised that it was Li Chuan:
Why kill?
Li Chuan spoke calmly and unhurriedly:
"These refugees are well-planned and organized. If we don't seize that one opportunity and act decisively, the situation may become uncontrollable."
"Besides, I also cleaned up the mess. After things have blown up, everyone will know that the refugees attacked me, and I can stand up to moral principles."
Luo Houping said:
"Not enough! Two isn't enough; you need at least four or five!"
Wang Youwei was taken aback.
He thought Luo Houping wanted to blame Li Chuan for killing people without permission, but unexpectedly he complained that Li Chuan hadn't killed enough?!
Luo Houping explained:
"My Luo family does indeed want to cultivate a reputation for 'benevolence and righteousness,' but benevolence and righteousness are not weakness. To back down when someone bullies you is cowardice!"
Luo Houping gave Li Chuan a deep look:
"Good job killing him, and even better at handling him. You're a promising talent, and you'll be rewarded when we get back."
Everyone was waiting to see Li Chuan make a fool of himself.
After all, Li Chuan did what they wanted to do but dared not do.
If Li Chuan does the right thing, wouldn't that show their weakness?
Unexpectedly, Luo Houping gave them this attitude.
For a moment, some people secretly regretted it.
If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have acted decisively back then.
What they don't realize is that decisiveness is a rare skill.
Opportunities often only last a moment; if you don't seize them, they're gone forever.
Without a doubt, Li Chuan succeeded.
After a short rest, the group continued their journey.
Wang Youwei said with a hint of envy:
"Brother Li, you've really made a name for yourself this time. Look at the way Luo Tou is looking at you, he's absolutely thrilled with you."
"You don't know, Brother Li, Luo Tou is known for his cold demeanor, but he only smiles at you."
"I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again after this trip. You did so well, so Luo will definitely take you to deliver even more precious medicinal herbs next time."
The reward for each escort mission is based on the value of the medicinal herbs.
Sending precious medicinal herbs will bring you greater rewards.
For martial artists, strong earning power also means a broader future in the martial arts world.
Li Chuan smiled, and said meaningfully:
"Brother Wang, this wasn't entirely my doing; you helped a lot too. I'll talk to Luo about it."
A flicker of emotion crossed Wang Youwei's eyes:
"Thank you very much, Brother Li. I wish I were still unmarried..."
Li Chuan: "...I regret it."
Wang Youwei laughed heartily:
"Brother Li, I was just joking."
After this ordeal, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and the group successfully arrived in Huangshi County before nightfall.
