Sheng Hong laughed grimly: "Wait till you fall into my hands, and see how I treat you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, puff!
A locust stone grazed his right forearm, taking away a piece of flesh and blood.
"How is this possible?!" Sheng Hong's heart suddenly tightened.
"I obviously dodged it?"
puff!
A locust stone pierced through his left armpit, exploding into a pool of blood.
Sheng Hong suddenly understood.
He saw the locust stone and tried to dodge, but his body gradually failed to keep up with his conscious command.
He suddenly looked towards the square table.
That meal...
Wuuwuwu…Puff puff puff…
A string of blood exploded behind Sheng Hong.
The locust stone still had some force left, and it kept hitting the ochre-colored courtyard wall, leaving behind spots of dark red blood.
Sheng Hong glared at Chen Mu and fell to the ground with a thud.
After a long while, Chen Mu came back to his senses and staggered to sit down at the square table.
Turning around to see Sheng Hong, whose head was covered in blood and whose eyes were wide open, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Murder...
After practicing martial arts for so long, he had a premonition that he would kill someone sooner or later.
He also did rehearsals more than once.
But when the real thing came, Chen Mu felt his mind went blank.
This is completely different from the previous small fights!
"I just want to practice peacefully, why are you forcing me..."
It took Chen Mu a long time to calm down.
"We need to deal with the situation as quickly as possible!"
He climbed over the wall and walked to his door.
Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan were lying on the ground, snoring.
Chen Mu moved closer to observe carefully.
A faint smell of medicine wafted over.
"I didn't knock him out, I used a drug called aphrodisiac." Chen Mushu breathed a sigh of relief.
Drag the two men to the door and make them sleep against the wall where they usually squat.
Chen Mu jumped back home, rolled up Sheng Hong's body with a straw mat, climbed out of the house, used the Red Falcon Shape Training Technique, and quietly jumped towards the north of the city.
There were several deserted houses there, perfect for burying bodies.
……
Half an hour later, Chen Mu returned home.
After cleaning the bloodstains on the floor and walls and changing into new clothes, Chen Mu came to the door.
When I opened the door, I saw the two people still sleeping soundly and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Mu rubbed his face and woke them up: "You two, it's getting late, it's time to go home!"
Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan woke up in a daze: "Why are you still asleep?"
"Thank you for your hard work in guarding the door. Here are some freshly braised pig's trotters for you to eat with your wine." Chen Mu smiled and handed over an oil-paper bag.
The strong aroma of meat wafted out, and Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, Master Chen!"
"Then we two brothers will take our leave first." Zheng Huan said with a chuckle as he took the braised pig's trotters.
Chen Mu bowed and said goodbye.
After the two figures disappeared, Chen Mu's expression quickly disappeared, and he quickly went home and closed the door.
……
In the alley, Zheng Huan put the oil-paper bag close to his nose and said, "It smells so good. This scholar's cooking skills are getting better and better. If he opens a delicatessen shop, he will surely make a lot of money."
"One of their paintings is enough for you to live on for several years, so why would you bother running a delicatessen shop?" Zhou Liang said enviously.
"Okay, let's find a tavern and eat these two pig's trotters while they're still hot." Zheng Huan urged.
"That's fine, after eating and drinking, go to bed early." Zhou Liang stretched lazily: "I played too late in Anlefang last night, and I fell asleep while sitting on the street. I have to make up for the sleep today."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat quickly and go home to catch up on some sleep." Zheng Huan yawned.
"Last night at Yicui Tower..."
In the shadow of the alley, Chen Mu stood quietly.
Listening to the two people's nonsense chat, he silently put away the gravel in his hand.
"These two people probably didn't notice anything unusual."
"We can't stay in the city for the time being."
Even if Chen Mu knew, leaving in a hurry was too suspicious.
But he still couldn't help wanting to stay away from Qingshan County.
If the city gates had not been closed, he would not have been able to leave the city and he would have left Qingshan County that night.
……
Early the next morning.
Chen Mu and Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan arrived.
During the conversation, I was sure that the two people did not notice anything unusual.
He sent the two away on the pretext of going back home to visit relatives, and then went out with his bags, even putting the five hens he raised at home into a bamboo basket and carrying it on his back.
After leaving Qingshan County, we headed straight for Chenjia Village.
……
January 639, th year of Daliang.
Chen Mu opened his eyes amid the chirping of birds.
Pushing the door open, Chen Mu felt excited by the fresh air that was slightly cool.
The sky is clear and there are green mountains in the distance.
The sounds of dogs barking and chickens crowing can be heard everywhere, creating a peaceful rural scene.
The depressed mood that had been weighing on my mind for days was finally relieved.
He has been in Chenjia Village for seven days. Today is the day he slept the most peacefully.
At the beginning, whenever he closed his eyes, the image of Sheng Hong’s face covered in blood would appear in his mind.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and even when I did fall asleep, I was often awakened by nightmares.
I was absent-minded when practicing and doing other things during the day, and I almost bumped into the wall several times.
It wasn't until today that he gradually calmed down.
He has thought through the whole thing.
Sheng Hong came to Chen Mu's house to threaten him, and told him to pay to save his life, but in fact he was out to kill him for money.
If Chen Mu really gave the money honestly, the other party would definitely kill him to silence him.
Warriors who practice body-building techniques are like two different species from ordinary people.
With great strength and great speed, it is no more difficult for him to crush an ordinary person to death than to swat a fly.
Therefore, it is easier to kill people, otherwise there wouldn't be the Wang family massacre.
"Sheng Hong dares to kill people recklessly for money."
"Why can't I fight back to protect myself?!"
"Should I beg others to be magnanimous and spare my life?"
Recalling Sheng Hong's skilled movements and expression, one can tell that this was not the first time the other party had committed murder for money.
Chen Mu suddenly understood.
"Sheng Hong is a pest in this world, and he deserves to die! I killed him to protect myself and more innocent people."
"It's not me who is wrong, it's this world where the strong bully the weak! It's those evil people with evil intentions!"
"Faced with the malice of this world, faced with the surging evil thoughts of others, what should I do, what can I do?
"Compromise and beg for mercy?"
"No, no, no, I'm going to fight back with thunderbolts!"
Chen Mu took a deep breath.
next time……
He will be more decisive next time!
Only by eradicating all evil can we achieve our goal!

After adjusting his mindset, Chen Mu washed up and cooked.
