Chapter 651: Chapter 633 The Power of the Anesthesia Gun
The villagers of Shiku Village had been bullied by these mountain bandits several tis, suffering great losses every ti, hence the elderly didn’t dare to act rashly.
But Lin Yi confidently patted his chest and said, “Just a bunch of petty thieves, what’s there to be afraid of? Give half an incense’s ti, and watch how I’ll deal with them.”
Without waiting for the old man to object, Lin Yi summoned five stalwarts and quietly explained the next part of the plan.
Since the bandits were there to catch chickens, they had lit dozens of torches, almost illuminating the entire grove.
This was extrely advantageous for Lin Yi and his team’s sniping.
“Three, two, one, begin.”
At Lin Yi’s command, the six of them raised their Anesthesia Guns, took precise aim at the twenty-plus mountain bandits, and with a few uniform “tuk tuk tuk” sounds, the bandits, just as they tried to struggle, fell completely motionless the next second, collapsing to the ground.
“Sigh.”
Lin Yi proudly blew on the muzzle of the gun, and nonchalantly said, “Old man, we’ve knocked out the bandits, go quickly and rescue the people. Then tie up the bandits.”
“What? Knocked out? But we clearly didn’t see you do anything?”
The villagers were astounded, disbelievingly staring at the bandits on the ground. They looked at Lin Yi and the others with a strange gaze.
“Are you guys using so Poisonous Insect Technique? Is that why the bandits all fell over?” As the villagers spoke, they cautiously took a couple of steps back.
The trust that had just started to build was once again questioned.
Helplessly, Lin Yi could only heave a sigh, and after a mont’s thought, he picked up the Anesthesia Gun and shot Nan Yi.
Nan Yi didn’t even have ti to react before he beca the fortunate one under Lin Yi’s gun and imdiately passed out.
Lin Yi then explained, “This is an Anesthesia Gun. Anyone or anything hit by it will instantly lose consciousness and fall asleep, just like this guy next to . Now tell , can you see him waking up?”
“What is an Anesthesia Gun? When we shoot an arrow, we can see the arrow, but this, we can’t see anything at all.”
Faced with the villagers’ confusion, Lin Yi instantly felt the futility of playing music for a cow, utterly unable to communicate.
‘Nan Yi, I’m sorry, you have to be the experintal subject on the spot; otherwise, these villagers won’t trust .’
The villagers looked at the fainted Nan Yi skeptically, pushed and prodded him several tis, but to no avail; he didn’t react or fight back.
“What are you standing around for? There’s still a quarter of an hour left. If you don’t rescue people now, you’ll regret it once the ti passes,” Lin Yi reminded impatiently, yet again.
This ti, the villagers didn’t hesitate. They all ran down to rescue the people, retrieving a hundred hens and binding up the twenty-odd mountain bandits.
The villagers, reaping their rewards and carrying their hens, ran over to thank Lin Yi, the elderly man even knelt down directly in front of him.
Tears of gratitude streaming, he said, “Thank you, you truly are an Immortal, saving us all. Just now this old man was foolish; I hope you won’t hold it against .”
After the elder spoke, the villagers also rushed over to kowtow and express their thanks to Lin Yi.
“Get up, all of you. Old man, at your age, if you keep kneeling to , aren’t you shortening my life?”
“I’ve told you, I am Lin Yi, the National Guardian General from You Country. Since I’ve co here, I am certainly here to protect you all.”
As Lin Yi spoke, he ca over to where the bandits were, the bandits were bruised and swollen by the villagers, looking very wretched.
No choice, those who co out to mix will have to settle their debts sooner or later. Today, they’ve been caught by Lin Yi, which will completely change their fate.
This night, the villagers caught 100 hens and captured so mountain bandits, which left everyone so excited that no one could sleep all night.
But when Lin Yi suggested they kill the chickens to celebrate, these strong n hesitated, wanting to take the hens ho to nourish their families.
Lin Yi was moved by their sincere love and imdiately promised that once day broke, he would lead them to another mountain to catch wild chickens for breeding.
With Lin Yi’s assurance, everyone cheerfully went to slaughter chickens and start a fire.
Soon, the bandits woke up, but as they tried to move, several strong young villagers stepped forward and slapped them resoundingly across their faces.
After discussing with the elders, the villagers decided to deliver these bandits to the Governnt, to prevent them from harming the villagers again in the future.
However, the County Governnt was more than 200 li away, and it would take at least 30 strong n to escort these 20-plus bandits there.
Shiku Village was already isolated and backward, with not even a horse to its na; the few oxen they had were treasured and well-guarded by everyone.
So the only thing they could do was to escort the bandits to the County Governnt on foot.
The round trip of 400 li would take at least a month, and they would have to carry food for over 50 people, which Lin Yi thought was a losing deal no matter how he looked at it.
But the elder believed that this was the best solution to ensure permanent elimination of the threat.
Insisting on delivering the bandits to the County Governnt, Lin Yi voiced his opposition, pointing out not only the high costs of escorting them but also providing an alternative solution.
To replace punishnt with labor.
While everyone was still excited, Lin Yi unveiled his plan.
He had already examined the map and saw that the bamboo forest around Shiku Village was lush; the simplest way to wealth was to chop and sell bamboo in the county town.
In ancient tis, in remote mountain villages with vast lands and sparse population, even clearing the entire bamboo forest wouldn’t affect the ecological balance.
The only difficulty was transportation.
For this, Lin Yi specially produced a drawing, detailing the design of a simple freight cart, and as for horses, it would be a trivial matter for him to give a hundred to this village.
[Ding ding ding, host has successfully purchased 100 fine horses and paid 20 million Heavenly Bead Coins, the goods have been delivered to the foot of the mountain 1 kiloter to the east.]
After all, there are still several billion Heavenly Bead Coins available in the Nine-Eyed Mall system, even if it couldn’t be used for constant upgrading.
“Selling bamboo, what a great idea. These bandits have been toughened by years of living outdoors, making them perfect for chopping and carrying bamboo, letting each person reach their potential and each resource be fully utilized.”
The elder was full of praise for Lin Yi’s solution.
“Master Lin is truly wise and resourceful. Soone, go and fetch the cart according to the drawing.”
Lin Yi didn’t sit idle either; he sent Nan Yi with a hundred villagers to walk two li eastwards, where they would find the prepared stables.
As for why there was a stable there? Lin Yi explained that he had planned to take the horses to Nan Zhao Country to trade for treasures but had a change of heart and instead gifted the horses to the villagers of Shiku Village.
The villagers were once again overwheld with gratitude toward Lin Yi, their gaze toward him filled with admiration.
As dawn approached, Nan Yi and a group of villagers rode back on over a hundred steeds in a bustle of excitent.
The villagers were ecstatic! With 100 fine horses suddenly entering the poor ravine, Shiku Village was bound to undergo earth-shattering changes.
