C10 (1/2)
Lu Beiyou obviously wanted to know who Mu Qiuqiu was, but he didn't want to tell him under such circumstances.
He probably thought that the little loli would take the initiative to tell him sooner or later.
When Lu Beiyou reached the foot of the mountain, he started to look for cover in the forest.
Even though he had some guts, he knew what he was capable of.
Along the way, Lu Beiyou was comprehending the sword intent the little loli just displayed.
Lu Beiyou moved stealthily along the way, and approximately at a certain location, he roughly arrived at the mountainside and saw a mountain stronghold.
Lu Beiyou looked over, about ten houses. There were about twenty bandits to be seen in the village, but it was not clear how many were in the house.
It was already New Year's Eve, and even the village had long since hung up their red lanterns and paired them with a pair. From the warehouses, a lot of goods were poured out and stored.
Lu Beiyou thought for a while, then laid down in the snow a hundred meters away from the mountain stronghold. As he felt the warmth in his body, he waited for the night to come.
After all, it was only a night of murder when the moon was dark and the winds were high.
Actually, Lu Beiyou still had one more question he did not ask Mu Qiuqiu. According to Mu Qiuqiu's explanation, there were two types of sword practice: Sword Qi and Sword Intent.
Then, what was the sword move that he had used to imitate the man in the dream in the backyard?
It was not from the inside, nor was it from the outside. At that time, he had felt the might of an aura, so what was this?
Lu Beiyou thought about it, then decided not to. He would ask about it when he got back.
Night came quickly, and Lu Beiyou laid on the snow, his body had that warm feeling, and he did not feel cold, the sky had snowflakes falling down everywhere, and in a short moment, the place Lu Beiyou laid on was a pile of snow.
As the sky darkened, Lu Beiyou began to move. He crawled out from the snow, crawling towards the mountain stronghold.
He looked like a leopard waiting to catch its prey in the snow.
In the evening, the village began to clamor, the clamor never ceasing, as if New Year's Eve was the New Year's Eve.
Lu Beiyou got closer and closer to the village, at this time, two burly men who reeked of alcohol suddenly walked over.
”Hiccup!” He didn't know what had happened to the Boss in the past few days, so he didn't go down the mountain to grab more things. I like to follow my big brother down the mountain the most. Let me tell you, the beauty of the village lady at the foot of the mountain is really not bad. A while ago she was swept up into the mountain by my big brother, but her old man actually wanted to beg for mercy and was cut to death by me. Later on, when the boss was done eating, I even tasted a mouthful of fresh food. That taste, tsk tsk tsk tsk! ” One of the men said as he took off his pants.
”Is that so?”
”That's right!” ”Let me tell you …”
The burly man turned his head to speak, but all he saw was the final scene of his life. A short dagger had pierced his throat. The man who had walked over with him was already lying in the snow. Blood blossomed like bright flowers in the snow and ice.
Lu Beiyou stared at the dagger in his hand that was drenched in blood, he did not know what to feel.
This was clearly the first time he had killed someone, but he did not feel the slightest bit disgusted.
On the contrary, he felt extremely comfortable. He didn't know whether it was because he had killed someone or because the man's words had made him angry.
Lu Beiyou was a little confused as he asked himself: ”Just who was I two years ago?” Why did he feel that these killing techniques were something that was ingrained in his bones, and were so easy to handle?
Then he slapped his face to calm himself down.
He continued to hide in the darkness, to be the hunter that hunted his prey.
Lu Beiyou arrived at the village's wattled fencing, and looked through the cracks in the courtyard. A group of people were laughing, drinking, and eating the meat, and there were a few women in light clothing dancing in the center of the courtyard with numb expressions on their faces. From time to time, a few burly men would go over to touch them, but they were pulled back by some other people.
Lu Beiyou observed for a while and discovered that there seemed to be no one leading them here.
