Whether the village head believed this righteous speech from Si Ren is anyone's guess, but Si Ren certainly believed it himself.
The village head did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Little brother. You can see the current situation in the village; it is simply too tragic. At my age, if I die, I die—it doesn't matter. But there are still so many villagers here. I truly cannot bear to see anything happen to them. I beg you to wipe out the jiangshi as soon as possible. Whatever you need, just say the word, and we will certainly give you our full cooperation."
