Chapter 3 Trouble Comes Knocking!
"My husband!"
"My lady, you should go inside first. They're just a few clowns jumping around; they're nothing to be afraid of!"
"Old man, still so stubborn even when you're about to die!"
Su Haichuan laughed incessantly, his face full of sarcasm, clearly not taking Su Mu seriously.
How could an old man who's about to die possibly defeat five or six strong young men?
"While no one's around, you lot better hurry up and take him down. Three taels of silver each!"
As soon as Su Haichuan finished speaking, a greedy glint flashed in the eyes of the servants. In a year of severe snow disaster, money was more valuable than human life!
The next moment.
Several servants surrounded them, pressing closer step by step. One of the servants' faces contorted with rage.
"You old bastard, die!"
brush--
He pulled a snow-white short blade from his waist and, without saying a word, stabbed it into Su Mu's heart. The movement was fluid and extremely fast, unlike his first offense.
However, they underestimated Su Mu's strength. As a veteran who had served in the army for decades and had undergone the baptism of immortal bones, his physical condition had been restored to its peak!
How could a few rough, uncouth villagers be a match for him?
The opponent closed in, and in the instant he swung his knife to stab.
Su Mu bent his arm, seized the opportunity, and suddenly lunged forward with a powerful elbow strike!
"Iron Mountain Lean!"
Click!
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The villager let out a "whoosh" and spat out a mouthful of blood. His chest caved in, and his body flew backward in an arc shape!
thump!
In the blink of an eye.
The man collapsed in the snow, twitched a few times, and then stopped breathing!
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining the ground red.
quiet--
The people present were stunned for a long time.
Damn! Is this a sixty-year-old man?!
for a long time!
Su Haichuan snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and pointed at Su Mu, roaring:
"Charge! All of you, charge!"
He hadn’t expected Su Mu to still have such fighting power even in his old age. He absolutely couldn’t let him go, or he would surely become a future threat!
"You want to kill me? You think you can!"
Su Mu's lips curled into a cold smile. He tapped his toes, picked up the short blade that had fallen to the ground, and took a sudden step, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow!
brush brush --
He was so fast that he appeared as a double image as he rushed towards the group. At the same time, the group attacked together, but they couldn't even touch the hem of Su Mu's clothes!
Then look at Su Mu, slashing necks and stabbing hearts. Each move is fast, accurate, and ruthless. He moves among the group like a ghost, and every slash draws blood and someone falls!
Gollum—
Seeing that something was wrong, Su Haichuan was so frightened that his legs went weak. Before the people were all dead, he turned around and fled the courtyard!
After a few more glances, there was no one else alive in the courtyard besides Su Mu.
He watched Su Haichuan flee into the distance, his eyes narrowed, he gripped the short blade in his hand, bent down slightly, found the right angle, and then suddenly exerted force to throw the short blade!
One breath! Two breaths! Three breaths!
"ah--"
About ten breaths later, a hundred feet away, came Su Haichuan's scream. It was unclear which part of his body he had been stabbed in, but Su Haichuan suddenly collapsed to the ground and remained silent for a long time.
Su Mu turned away, ignoring him, but to his surprise, Su Haichuan was not dead. After an unknown amount of time, he pulled out his knife, dragged his injured leg, and crawled away little by little in the wind and snow, escaping the village.
Along the way, Su Haichuan was filled with boundless hatred, gritting his teeth and growling, "You old bastard, you just wait!"
...
Until there was no sound in the yard.
Ye Qingyan had just come out of the house when she saw the several corpses on the ground and realized Su Mu's true strength!
She was glad she hadn't attacked Su Mu, otherwise there might have been another corpse on the ground.
Are you scared?
Su Mu's face was covered in blood, and his right hand was stained red with blood, and was still dripping blood.
Ye Qingyan walked down the steps to Su Mu and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood that was about to scab over on his face.
"I've killed just as many people as you have."
Su Mu shrugged and couldn't help but smile; his wife was quite interesting.
a little.
He stripped the clothes off several corpses, and luckily, he found twenty or thirty taels of silver, which could be considered an unexpected gain.
Su Mu is not a saint. He can't control how others kill, but if you want to kill him, you have to think twice and see if you have the strength to do so!
Afterwards, he dragged the several corpses to the back of the mountain on a cart, found a random spot, dug a hole, and buried them to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Ye Qingyan cleaned up the bloodstains at home with remarkable skill. In less than half an hour, the courtyard was restored to its original state, without any trace of a fight.
Su Mu had just finished dealing with the corpse and was dragging his cart home when he looked at the yard, which had returned to normal, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The level of detail was so impressive that he even suspected Ye Qingyan wasn't the daughter of a general, but rather the descendant of an assassin!
"The snow has stopped, and we don't have much food at home. I'm going to the county to buy some. You stay home and wait for me, okay?"
"it is good."
Ye Qingyan replied coldly.
Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply. It seemed that he would have to take it slowly to truly open Ye Qingyan's heart!
At that moment, Ye Qingyan took off her coat and draped it over Su Mu's shoulders.
"It's a long way and cold, don't get cold. I'll be waiting for you to come home."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu smiled slightly, then gently instructed:
"Wait for me at home. All matters will be handled when I return!"
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
"..."
Su Mu stepped out of the courtyard gate.
To avoid attracting attention.
He walked very slowly, just like any other elderly person.
Squeak squeak—
And so, Su Mu took small steps and disappeared from Ye Qingyan's sight, heading towards the edge of the village.
Only after Su Mu had walked far away did her gaze fall on the nearly empty pile of firewood in the corner.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qingyan slung her wood-chopping knife over her shoulder and headed towards the direction where Su Mu had buried the body, following the footprints.
...
soon.
Su Mu walked to the entrance of the village.
A dark-skinned, honest-looking young man leading a donkey cart waved and called out to him:
"Grandpa Su? Are you planning to go to the county?"
Su Mu followed the gaze, feigning a bad memory, and replied vaguely:
"Yes, we're almost out of rice at home, so we need to go to town to buy some. Young man, who are you...?"
"Oh! Look at your memory, old man! My name is Tie Niu. I helped you move your luggage a few days ago, have you forgotten?!"
The burly man, fearing Su Mu might not hear him clearly, deliberately raised his voice a few decibels:
"The city is far away, and I happen to need to go there to get medicine for my mother. If you don't mind, sir, you could ride in my donkey cart. That way, we can keep each other company!"
Su Mu naturally remembered the other party. The young man in front of him was named Tie Niu. He was honest and kind, and a well-known filial son in Qingshan Village.
Moreover, he was born with immense strength and it is said that he once killed a tiger single-handedly!
A few days ago.
When he first arrived in Qingshan Village, he had no relatives or friends, and it was Tie Niu who kindly helped him carry his luggage.
"Hehe, in that case, this old man thanks you."
"You're too kind, sir! Please have a seat, and we'll be going now!"
They hitched a ride on a donkey cart.
The pace quickened considerably, reducing the time by half.
"Grandpa, have you heard? This morning, Su Haichuan, the pimp from our village, was murdered..."
en route.
Tie Niu brought up the matter intentionally or unintentionally, and Su Mu narrowed his eyes, pretending to be unaware of it.
"Oh? Heh, is that so?"
"That's right! I've also heard that Su Haichuan has a powerful force behind him. I really hope that hero is safe and sound..."
Su Mu maintained a faint smile throughout, indicating that Tie Niu was unaware that it was his doing.
However, this kid is quite a character.
As for the forces behind Su Haichuan, they will deal with them as they come!
...
About two hours.
The two rushed to Qingyang County.
As the richest county town in Anbei Prefecture.
Pingyang County has a large population, exceeding one million!
People come and go on the road paved with bluestone bricks.
Merchants, farmers, laborers, wealthy households...
It was incredibly lively!
The city was even more bustling, with the snow on the streets swept clean, and the shops on both sides decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filling the air!
