Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Chapter 35: It's just murder, once is new, twice is familiar

"Qigua Lane" deep in the shantytown is so narrow that it is only wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.

Low huts stand shoulder to shoulder, occupying the cramped space, and the sky has become a long and narrow crack.

Entering the alley, Zhang Shuyuan had to slow down passively as he saw the wide road on the street became narrower.

Suddenly, Shen Qing, who was sitting on the cart, sat up straight, his fingers tightly gripping the bow and arrow, his heart was like a taut string on the bow, and his face was solemn.

He dodged the protruding eaves and said, "Xiao Hu, draw your bow and hide it."

"it is good."

Seeing Shen Qing's serious look, Shen Xiaohu hurriedly put the arrow on the bow, pulled the bow to its full draw, and prepared for battle.

It's a little too quiet around here.

Shen Qing instantly had a bad feeling.

After turning the first alley, the horse-drawn cart appeared on a short straight road.

At this time, Shen Qing saw about six or seven young men leaning against the door.

Behind them there are more or less a few farm tools such as hoes.

When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they looked up at the same time, glanced at each other and exchanged glances.

Shen Qing reacted immediately, pulled the bow to full moon, and immediately let go.

call out!
An arrow shot out from the air, like a meteor flashing across the night, leaving only a sharp whistling sound echoing in the air.

A short-haired young man leaning against the door was suddenly shocked. He had just received the signal to wait, and before he could react, his legs went weak and fell to the ground.

The arrow penetrated deeply into his forehead, and blood instantly seeped out along his forehead, covering his face. The air around him seemed to solidify at this moment.

Everyone's eyes flashed with astonishment and disbelief, and one of them immediately reacted: "He's found us! Don't wait, go ahead!"

At the leader's command, six or seven men each grabbed a weapon and rushed out.

Shen Qing didn't think any more and shouted, "Xiao Hu, do it!"

"Ah good……"

Shen Xiaohu was a little flustered as it was his first time shooting someone. His first arrow was totally inaccurate and missed the target.

When he was about to re-draw the bow and re-arrow, Shen Qing beside him had already shot another arrow.

The arrow penetrated into the opponent's shoulder blade, causing him to tilt his body and fall to the ground. Blood instantly soaked his clothes and he was unable to move.

"Fuck your mother! They are all hunters, they are hard points!"

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

The other party rushed over yelling.

Fortunately, there was a certain distance between the two sides, and the bow and arrow in Shen Qing's hand had a great advantage. In addition, his archery skills were good, so he shot very accurately.

In just one encounter, he knocked down two or three people on the opposite side.

Seeing the two sides fighting like this, Zhang Shuyuan quickly crouched down and whipped the horse's butt hard.

Howling!
The little horse neighed and suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

Shen Qing's lower body was extremely stable and was not affected at all. He continued to shoot arrows in his hands.

Unfortunately, he had no experience in horseback archery, and when the steed started running, his accuracy was off.

shhhhhh!
Shen Qing shot three arrows in a row based on his instincts before he killed one.

The two sides were getting closer and closer. One of the young men had a fierce look on his face. He picked up a hoe and swung it, as if he was going to hoe towards the position where Shen Xiaohu was and kill him.

Shen Xiaohu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he let go almost subconsciously.

The arrow turned into a flash of light and flew out.

The hoe went straight through the man's chest, causing him to deviate slightly when he dropped it, and landed an inch behind Shen Xiaohu, narrowly avoiding it.

If it weren't for the arrow just shot, there is no doubt that the hoe would have cracked his head open.

Shen Xiaohu's mind went blank immediately, and without thinking too much, he quickly shot two more arrows. At such a short distance, his arrows shot through the man.

The last thin young man left saw how fierce Shen Qing and the others were and lost the desire to attack again. He watched Shen Qing and the others disappear before his eyes.

The thin young man who was still alive looked at the mess on the ground with lingering fear and swallowed.

In the past, they pretended to be normal people, and when these "fat sheep" approached, they would relax their vigilance and suddenly take action.

No luck.

They'd done it so many times and never once was it like this.

Before they even started, the other party seemed to have predicted the future and attacked them first, and their action was even cleaner and more efficient than theirs.

The thin young man who was still alive calmed himself down and walked forward to feel the breath of everyone one by one.

are dead.

His face changed, and without hesitation he searched the brothers' wallets and some valuables, then ran quickly towards the core area of ​​the shantytown.

Things have gotten a bit out of hand, I have to talk to Lao Bazi and ask him to avenge my brothers.

After walking out of Qiguai Alley, the shanties began to become sparse and the roads began to become extremely wide.

Zhang Shuyuan let go directly, whipped the horse continuously, and galloped away.

A moment later, the three of them left the outer city of Taiping County.

Only after leaving the county town's walls out of sight did Zhang Shuyuan slow down slightly.

"It's okay, they can't catch up."

Shen Qing put away his longbow, sat cross-legged on the cart, looking somewhat relaxed.

Seeing that Shen Xiaohu looked a little unhappy, he pounded his shoulder and said, "Why, you're not used to it?"

Shen Xiaohu nodded heavily.

He didn't intend to kill the man at first, but he was confused at the time and shot several arrows in a fit of rage.

Shen Xiaohu remembered clearly that all his arrows hit the vital points and the man was definitely dead.

He killed someone.

Shen Qing counseled, "It's just killing someone. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. It's no different from you going up the mountain to hunt. If you didn't kill him just now, he would have killed you. This is how the world works. Don't think too much."

Shen Xiaohu looked up and saw Shen Qing's calm and composed look. He couldn't help but feel envious. He consoled himself in his heart, "My cousin is right. I didn't have to kill him. He bumped into my arrow himself. He deserved it."

Thinking of this, he seemed to feel better.

……

Outer city, shantytown.

A short-haired young man ran in in a panic, panting, "Old bastard, it's bad. All the brothers in Qiguai Lane are dead."

"What did you say?" The old man who was sitting on the chair and gnawing on a chicken claw suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief: "Say it again!"

"They are all dead. The stranger we met today was a tough guy. None of the brothers could handle him. They were all killed. Only Xiaoliu escaped and reported the news to us!"

The old man's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this in all these years.

At this moment, a young man wearing straw sandals came in and said, "Old Dog sent a message that the person we are targeting is a hunter with no roots."

As soon as he came in, he saw the short-haired young man with a sweaty face and asked curiously, "Hey, why are you here? Shouldn't you be over at Qiguai Lane?"

The short-haired young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Something happened in Qiguai Lane. All the brothers were killed."

"Ah?" The young man in straw sandals exclaimed and looked at the old man in a daze.

The old man slowly sat down on the chair, the fat on his face piled up, looking a little ferocious: "Since you are a rootless person, then I won't worry about anything."

"Let the brothers keep an eye on them. Next time they come to Taiping County, I will personally take action to twist off their heads and hang them on the ceiling. Let them know the consequences of offending me!"
