Chapter 9: Snowy Days Are Good for Killing

Snowflakes are falling and the wind is cold.

There was suddenly a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the snow-covered forest.

"We will have to take action against the siblings sooner or later, so it's better to take action sooner rather than later. There are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the forest anyway, so it's normal for someone to die. Snowy days are a good time to kill people."

Snowflakes fell on Chen An's expressionless face, and his cold eyes were intimidating.

After hearing Chen An's words, Chen Tai, who was standing next to him, calmed down and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

Just as the eldest brother said, if the eldest sister of the Shen family is sensible and sells herself into a slave country, it will indeed be more secure.

The Chen family is the king of Hongshan Village, so killing one person is not a big deal. However, the Taiping County government still has some authority. Forcing women of good families into prostitution is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either.

It is best to avoid it if you can.

After comprehensive consideration, Chen Tai's expression turned grim, and he nodded heavily, saying, "Third brother, what you said makes sense. It's a good time to kill people in a snowy day!"

Seeing that Chen Tai agreed, Chen An's face relaxed, showing a little smile, and said: "Then second brother, you go over there, I will go here, surround him, don't let him run away."

"it is good."

The two brothers immediately split up.

In their eyes, Shen Qing in the snowy forest had become their prey.

Shen Qing, who was tying up a wild roe deer, frowned slightly and looked towards the forest not far away.

Seeing that he found nothing, he looked away and continued to tie up the wild roe deer in his hand and put it on his shoulder.

At this time, all the arrows that had shot into the wild roe deer had been pulled out by him.

Since the quiver was used to hold roe deer blood, the arrows inside were taken out and inserted into the belt, while the bow was held in hand.

After roughly identifying the direction, Shen Qing started to head back the way he came.

The two Chen brothers who were hunting were crawling in the snow and looked at each other at the same time.

Really so sensitive.

I was almost discovered just now.

Chen An made a hand gesture, and he and Chen Tai tiptoed in different directions.

They saw Shen Qing carrying a wild roe deer on his back, walking in the snow with alternating deep and shallow steps.

Behind him, there were dirty blood dripping from the wild roe deer, which twisted and turned in the snow forest, forming a red line that was particularly conspicuous.

After a moment, Chen Tai, who was following behind, was suddenly a little surprised when he saw the direction Shen Qing was going.

That doesn't seem to be the direction back to the village.

At this time, the mountain trails were covered with heavy snow and the original path could no longer be distinguished.

It seems that Shen Qing can't find the way.

It was exactly what they wanted.

Chen Tai restrained his breath, holding the hunting bow, and chased after him carefully.

Gradually, the woods ahead became denser.

The branches were covered with thick snow.

A cold wind blew up, sweeping up tiny snow particles, and the vision became blurred.

When the wind passed, Chen Tai unexpectedly discovered that Shen Qing had disappeared from his sight.

Chen Tai narrowed his eyes and stared at the red line of roe deer blood on the ground, which extended into the depths of the forest. He made a gesture to Chen An in the distance and surrounded the forest from both sides.

When Chen An saw Chen Tai's gesture, he knew that he had to take action and couldn't help licking his lips.

"Once I sell the eldest sister of the Shen family and have money, my hope of joining the martial arts school will be greater. Then, maybe I will have the opportunity to join the powerful people in the county."

Just when he was extremely excited, after walking for a while, he suddenly discovered that the bright red bloodstain in the forest had disappeared.

And Shen Qing also disappeared.

"what happened?"

Chen An couldn't hold back any longer, so he rushed over and looked around.

Following closely behind him, Chen Tai also rushed out.

"What about people?"

The two said in unison.

Chen Tai was the first to calm down and ran along the original blood trail, only to see a wild roe deer hanging high on a tree.

And the blood trail ended right here.

Chen An said in annoyance, "Damn it, that kid was so cunning, he actually let him escape." Just as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Qing holding a bow and arrow and pointing at them from behind a big tree about ten steps in front of him.

The Chen brothers were startled, and a trace of panic appeared on their faces.

Shen Qing instantly understood that the other party had malicious intentions.

Chen An subconsciously shouted: "Do it!"

call out!
Shen Qing's expression became serious, and he decisively let go before them.

The bowstring made of deer tendons vibrated slightly, accompanied by a low and deep hum, and shot the arrow out at an astonishing speed.

The arrow whizzed through the air, leaving a silver trail.

Puff.

The arrow hit Chen An right in the chest.

Although the distance was only a dozen steps, the combined power of the elm wood bow frame and the deer tendon string was enough to pierce Chen An's chest.

Chen An lowered his head, staring at the arrow shot by Shen Qing. The pain along with the cold arrow shaft made him feel dizzy.

His eyes widened and his face showed an expression of disbelief, full of astonishment and confusion.

Chen An didn't expect Shen Qing to be so decisive and even faster than him.

"Third brother!" Chen Tai was horrified when he saw this scene.

Chen An snapped the arrow in his chest and shouted, "Second brother, kill him!"

The arrow pierced through the middle of the chest, but this was not where the heart was, so it would not be immediately fatal.

Chen An gasped in pain, still conscious, and knew he still had a chance of survival.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qing shot another arrow.

Shen Qing's hand speed was extremely fast, and the black arrow shot towards Chen Tai. What was unexpected was that at the critical moment of life and death, Chen Tai ignored the brotherhood and directly used Chen An as a shield.

"Pfft."

Chen An paused and looked down, only to see blood dripping from his chest and the arrow shaft trembling.

He covered the wound, but bright red blood still seeped out from between his fingers, staining his palm red.

In an instant, his face turned pale, his breathing became rapid, his eyes flashed with a mixture of shock and pain, and he fell headfirst to the snow.

Chen Tai didn't expect Shen Qing's archery skills to be so good that he shot an arrow right in the heart. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have fallen.

"Damn it!"

Realizing that something was wrong with Shen Qing, Chen Tai didn't care too much. He hid behind a tree as a cover and fought back with a bow.

But the arrow shot in haste was not accurate and hit the tree next to Shen Qing.

The snow on the trees fell down.

Seeing that he had no chance, Shen Qing did not stay where he was, but detoured to the side, not intending to let Chen Tai go.

There were gusts of cold wind.

Snow particles mixed with snowflakes danced in the mountains and forests.

Shen Qing gripped the longbow tightly, his figure in the mountains and forests like an agile snow leopard. He shuttled quickly through the snow forest, and his figure was completely elusive.

Chen Tai shot two arrows in succession, but both missed.

On the contrary, the arrow shot back by Shen Qing was extremely accurate.

Every time Shen Qing's arrow passed by him, he felt a sense of fear.

Chen Tai really couldn't believe it. He thought that this unknown person in the village, who almost couldn't even have enough food to eat, actually had such great archery and hunting skills.

Unreasonably sophisticated.

Here in the snowy forest, he suddenly had the illusion that he was a prey.

Being suppressed by such a small person, Chen Tai felt like he was being greatly humiliated at this moment.

Shen Qing in the forest had sharp eyes and noticed the change in Chen Tai's expression. He knew that Chen Tai was at his limit.

He drew the longbow again and aimed at the figure.

Suddenly, an arrow shot from the direction of Chen Tai. Shen Qing rolled to the side swiftly and narrowly avoided the arrow.

He stood up quickly, his eyes became even colder, and he shot an arrow without hesitation, then reached towards his waist.

Shen Qing's expression froze.

His hand touched nothing, and all the arrows he brought had been shot into the air!
