Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 15 The Good Man Tang Jiumin

The sheriff's head hurts.

If only the residents of the town objected, it would be better to say, after all, the residents in the town were average in strength, mostly civilians, and they could forcibly suppress the voice of opposition.

But to the trouble for the sheriff, even the bounty hunters began to object.

Compared with the residents, the gunmen do not live here. Once they are unhappy, it is normal to shoot two shots to vent.

It's not enough to drive and catch the werewolf, but if you leave the other party behind, you can't maintain the authority of the mayor, and it's not enough to mess things up.

What a headache.

At the same time, Tang Jiumin didn't look at the sheriff, but at the opposite street.

Because, just when he turned his eyes to the crowd, he found that among the crowd across the street, there was a person who was out of tune with the surrounding.

This man was wearing tattered clothes, but not the attire of a bounty hunter, just like an ordinary resident.

The other party couldn't stop looking at the werewolf and waved his fists with everyone, but he didn't speak, and he didn't protest loudly with the others.

What's even more strange is that he looked at the werewolf, looked at the werewolf for a while, then looked away, and then looked at the werewolf again, and couldn't help looking at the two werewolf heads.

A frightened look.

When a townsman discovered the hero who killed the werewolf, there was no sign of welcome, and he even felt scared.

Tang Jiumin resolutely took note of this person's appearance.

In order to avoid the other party's detection, Tang Jiu looked away without a trace, slowed down, and slowly approached the direction of the person in the crowd.

The protests were getting louder and the people were getting more emotional, and no one listened to them, no matter what the sheriff told the crowd to remain calm.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, there was a rush of hooves in the distance, and after a while, a gray-haired sheriff came over, and he loudly greeted the crowd besieging the sheriff to get out of the way.

The old sheriff came to the center of the crowd, joined the dozen or so sheriffs who were surrounded, rode a horse to the lead sheriff, and said something in his ear.

After finishing speaking, the old sheriff who rushed over pulled the reins forward and raised his hands to signal the crowd to be quiet.

"Everyone, the mayor has informed me that this wanted order is indeed wrong!"

The crowd quieted down.

"The Mr. Werewolf in front of us is indeed not a wanted criminal, but because some businessmen reported wrong information to the mayor, the mayor misunderstood Mr. Werewolf, and now the mayor has found out that those businessmen are robbers In disguise, they escaped the crime in order to frame it."

"Mr. Werewolf is innocent!"

As the sheriff acquitted the werewolf, the surrounding people burst into cheers again.

"Werewolves! Werewolves! Werewolves!"

The werewolf heaved a sigh of relief, and he immediately cheered up, raising his fists.

Great, he wondered how he became a wanted criminal, it turned out to be a mistake.Now that the arrest warrant has been revoked, then he can earn a lot of bounties by killing werewolves.

The werewolf was secretly excited.

"Mr. Werewolf." The old sheriff suddenly said again: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble before, but there is a problem, I want to explain it to you here."

"what is the problem?"

"This time on the night of the blood moon, the mayor has invited some well-known bounty hunters in the entire wilderness, and according to the rules, only these bounty hunters can kill werewolves to get the bounty."

"Because the mayor didn't invite Mr. Werewolf this time, he didn't want to break the rules, so even if you kill the werewolf next, you won't get any bounty."

The werewolf immediately looked at the sheriff in disappointment, and before he opened his mouth to question, the crowd of onlookers had already begun to resent loudly.

"What do you mean? Mr. Werewolf has already killed two werewolves for us, which is equivalent to saving a lot of people in the town. Why don't you pay him?"

"That's right! It's all to protect the people in the town, why not give Mr. Werewolf a bounty? It's not fair!"

Facing the disgruntled people around, the gray-haired security guard frowned and raised his voice:

"Rules are rules. If there are no rules, it would be difficult for the mayor to establish the current Moon Howl Town in the wilderness. This is word of mouth and credibility!"

"If we casually break the rules because of a few werewolves on the night of the blood moon every few years, the reputation of the mayor and the reputation of Moon Howl Town will be destroyed."

"So, we sincerely thank Mr. Werewolf, but we can't give him any reward for this. Just when Mr. Werewolf plans to leave, we can provide a lot of money to express our gratitude."

"Oh, my God..." The werewolf couldn't help shaking his head in disappointment.

He is here to make money. If he can't make money, killing the werewolf doesn't make much sense.

White was happy.

As disappointed as the werewolves were, there was the crowd of onlookers, who booed and booed to express their dissatisfaction with the sheriff.

In the crowd, Tang Jiumin frowned.

He could hear the unusual meaning in the words of the old sheriff. Although the old sheriff rushed over to expel the werewolf, his words still expelled the werewolf in disguise.

If he is the mayor, even if he can't break the rules, he can reward the werewolf in other ways and keep the werewolf.

Why did the mayor of Moonhowl Town try his best to drive away the werewolf?This really made Tang Jiumin curious.

"Mr. Werewolf, don't worry, we won't let you kill werewolves in vain, I am willing to exchange two pieces of gold for the two werewolf heads in your hand, you know, they are very valuable if they are used as specimens! "

A caravan owner stepped out and announced loudly that Tang Jiumin glanced at him and didn't know him.

The werewolf was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Are you willing to buy the werewolf head?"

"Of course I do, please sell me the werewolf head!"

The werewolf was in a good mood, and his face showed a happy look again. He turned his head and gave the old sheriff a proud look:
"Since I can't get the bounty given by your mayor, then I will sell the werewolf head I hunted to the caravan. You shouldn't interfere, right?"

"Of course not, your actions didn't break the rules, and we certainly won't stop you." The words were very good, but the old sheriff glanced at the caravan boss with a slightly stiff expression.

"Great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Werewolf!"

This time, people burst into cheers like never before, almost bursting their eardrums.

Under the high emotions of the people, many caravans stood up again, and they all expressed their willingness to buy the werewolf heads that the werewolf hunters hunted next, so as not to let the werewolf hunters do things in vain.

The warm atmosphere reached its peak.

The old sheriff on the side waved to the other sheriffs and led the people out of the street.

Huh?
Tang Jiumin mixed in with the crowd, the sheriff left, and the man he was staring at in secret also left the crowd at almost the same time.

Pushing away from the crowd, Tang Jiumin kept his distance, followed the target unhurriedly, followed the other party away from the crowd, and walked out of the street.

Until the other party finally came to a clothing store.

Tang Jiumin deliberately stayed outside for a few breaths, and then walked into the clothing store. As soon as he entered, he heard the conversation between this man and the owner of the clothing store.

"Oh, what's the matter with you today, you are dressed completely differently from the usual you..."

"Don't mention it, it's too bad today, I was robbed."

"What?! You were robbed, what happened?"

"I was robbed by two gunmen who ripped my clothes."

The owner of the clothing store asked, "Why don't you go to the sheriff?"

The man answered vaguely: "No, no, I thought about not disturbing them on the night of the blood moon these two days, after all, they are going crazy."

As the man spoke, he slammed the silver plate onto the counter, making a crisp sound.

"Give me a new set of clothes. I'd better go home and stay honest. I won't go out unless it's necessary for the past two days, for safety's sake."

The owner of the clothing store agreed very much, turned around and went to get the clothes for this person, without even asking what kind of clothes the other party needed, not even the size.

Seeing this, Tang Jiumin turned his head slightly to look at the clothes in the store, pretending to choose clothes carefully.

Apparently, the clothing store owner and tracker recognize the target.

While waiting for the clothing store owner to pick up the clothes, Tang Jiumin looked at him from the corner of his eye from time to time, and he found that this man seemed to be very panicked.

He kept looking around all the time.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that the other party's act of taking out the money just made Tang Jiumin feel very strange, because the normal person's action when taking the money is not like this person, who is eager to slap the money on the counter, just like throwing a hot potato Same.

There is another point that is somewhat contradictory.

This man told the clothing store owner that he was robbed, but took out the money for a suit?
Where did the money come from?The robbers must be robbing money, right? The clothes are torn, so the money is still there?
If it's money from home, why don't you change your clothes and come back?
Tang Jiumin immediately thought of another thing.

When I asked Isa about the information of Yuehao Town yesterday, Tang Jiumin learned that it was not intelligence, that is, the werewolves that appeared in the town were similar to the legends he knew during his lifetime, that werewolves were afraid of silver objects.

The way this man eagerly patted the silver plate on the counter just now gave Tang Jiumin a bold guess.

At this moment, the owner of the clothing store came over with a new set of clothes and handed it to the other party.

"Hey, you have to be careful in the last few days, don't be robbed by some people with ulterior motives."

"Yeah, I will."

While chatting with the other party, the owner of the clothing store was about to reach out and take away the silver plate on the counter.

But at this moment, Tang Jiumin suddenly came to the counter and stopped the owner of the clothing store from collecting the money.

"Hey, listen to the boss and this friend, you were also robbed by robbers?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Tang Jiumin continued to speak.

"It's a coincidence. I was also robbed by robbers yesterday. It was Boss Daniel in your town who invited me to a meal for free so that I wouldn't starve to death."

"But I'm an outsider, you should be a resident of the town, and you were robbed? Who is so evil, tell me which bounty hunter it is, and I'll clean up those nasty guys for you!"

"No, no, thank you, I'll leave after buying the clothes." The man was holding the clothes and wanted to leave, obviously he didn't want to say anything more.

"How can this be possible!" Tang Jiumin held down the clothes on the counter with a firm tone.

"I was robbed by robbers before I entered the town, and the thieves stole money after I entered the town. Without money, I'm going to starve to death on the street."

"If it wasn't for the help of the kind people in your town, how could I have a hearty meal. And I told the boss who rescued me that in the future, when I see someone in the town in need of help, I will definitely help and repay you. Kindness."

"No, no, I really don't need to." Hearing Tang Jiumin's words, the other party became even more anxious, and quickly turned to look at the boss: "Hurry up and give me the clothes, I really don't need them. Those people didn't hurt me much, so don't be too troublesome."

boom!
"Don't accept this friend's money, give me the clothes." Tang Jiumin suddenly slapped some silver plates on the counter and shouted to the boss.

After all, Tang Jiumin even put away all the silver plates that the other party put on the counter, and while taking the clothes and stuffing them into the other party's hands, he stuffed the silver plates into the other party's hands.

He even grabbed the opponent's hand directly, put the silver plate in the palm of the opponent's palm, and clasped the opponent's fist with both hands, making it tightly grip the silver plate.

"Take the money back, I'll pay for this suit for you, I'll tell you."

Next, Tang Jiumin babbled about his experience of being robbed by the mayor and meeting a kind-hearted person after being invited by the mayor. He said that he wanted to repay the town, which was very serious and sincere.

At the same time, he still clenched the opponent's fist tightly, making people have to clench the silver plate in his hand.

While chatting, Tang Jiumin carefully observed the other party's reaction.

He found that when he first handed these silver plates into the hands of the other party and forcibly clenched them tightly, the other party could still maintain a normal expression, and tried his best to answer him in a normal tone.

However, as time passed, the other party became more and more reluctant.

The expression on the man's face became more and more distorted, and the strength of resistance became stronger and stronger, until Tang Jiumin felt the opponent's arm begin to tremble.

Tang Jiumin then let go.

"Hey, you must accept it, don't be polite to me!"

The moment Tang Jiumin let go of his hand, the man hurriedly threw the silver plate in his pocket into his pocket, and put his hands behind him.

"Thank you so much, then I'll go first, I still have things to do..." The man's forehead was covered in cold sweat, trying to maintain a normal voice to say goodbye.

But Tang Jiumin could hear that his voice trembled a little.

Only this time, he didn't hinder the man any more, letting him speed up and leave the clothing store.

But after Tang Jiumin watched the other party leave, he turned around and asked the boss casually.

"Boss, do you know this person?"

"Of course I know him. He's a carpenter from the next street. Hey, he has a very honest personality. He has never left the town. How could you say he was robbed? It's really unfortunate."

"Maybe among the bounty hunters who entered here, some people who shouldn't be mixed in." Tang Jiumin showed a thoughtful look, thinking about other things, and answered absentmindedly.

"It's not." The owner of the clothing store sighed: "Unfortunately, I remember that he seems to have his birthday in three days. It's too bad luck."

"Yes."

Tang Jiumin replied with his mouth, but he pondered over and over again what happened just now. He is almost certain of one thing now, that is, the man just now was a werewolf.

The silver plate circulating in Yuehao Town is the official currency outside. Although it is not made of pure silver, the silver content is very high.

When the other party holds it in his hand, the burning sensation will still appear.Coupled with the other party's dress...

Exploding trousers, tattered clothes, a coat casually put on the outside, afraid of silver plates.Various signs made Tang Jiumin sure that the other party was a werewolf who had just recovered.

Start directly?No, not sure yet, if killing a human without turning into a werewolf will turn into a werewolf after killing it.

Once killed, it is found that the other party's body is a human body, can the sheriff really explain it?

You know, this is a townsman, a local.

Gotta find another way!

After thinking about it, Tang Jiumin said goodbye to the boss and left the clothing store.
