Zhang Qian's Family Suffers Tragic News! Hunting Knives Kill Beasts, and Also Livestock!

It turns out that Zhang Tieshan and his son had hunted a Plum Deer some time ago. For some reason, the people from Black Wind Stockade recently found out about this. Black Wind Stockade was furious, thinking that Zhang Tieshan and his son had hunted such a large Plum Deer and dared to keep it for themselves instead of handing it over to the stockade.

Therefore, the people from Black Wind Stockade came down the mountain today and went straight to Zhang Tieshan's home. They directly snatched the hunted Plum Deer away, leaving no meat for Zhang Tieshan's family. What made Black Wind Stockade even angrier was that this Plum Deer, weighing nearly two hundred jin, now only had a little over a hundred jin of meat left.

Clearly, some of the meat had been eaten by Zhang Tieshan's family or given away. At the same time, while some stockade guards were ransacking Zhang Tieshan's house, they accidentally discovered Zhang Qian, who had outstanding looks and delicate skin.

This made the eyes of the Black Wind Stockade people go straight, and they wanted to forcibly take Zhang Qian up the mountain to present to the Leader of the stockade. Fortunately, Zhang Tieshan and his son Zhang Hai fought back desperately, barely managing to fend off these stockade guards and prevent Zhang Qian from being taken up the mountain.

Even so, these people from Black Wind Stockade vowed not to let it go and would come down the mountain to snatch the person, even having a Major Leader from the stockade take action.

In the eyes of the villagers, this Major Leader of the stockade was likely a powerful Martial Artist. Once they made a move, who could stop them?

This struck Zhang Tieshan's family like a bolt from the blue. They felt as if the sky had collapsed. Not only was their Plum Deer meat for the winter stolen, but their daughter Zhang Qian was also targeted by the people from Black Wind Stockade and was about to be taken into a tiger's den.

It was heard that Zhang Qian's mother, Liu Guihua, fainted on the spot, unable to accept it.

Zhang Tieshan and his son Zhang Hai were also seriously injured by the people from Black Wind Stockade, which now made many people in the village extremely cautious, for fear of being targeted by Black Wind Stockade.

They not only stole prey but also people.

"Zhang Tieshan's family is probably finished. Targeted by Black Wind Stockade, without food for winter, and they can't even protect their daughter. Alas! Black Wind Stockade are simply beasts!"

The evil deeds of Black Wind Stockade caused even Uncle Chen Shan, who rarely cursed, to lash out, feeling that life was too hard and there was no way to survive.

Hunters faced many unknown dangers when hunting Beasts in the mountains, and they also had to endure the forced taxation and various oppressive and evil acts of Black Wind Stockade. Thinking of this, even the usually optimistic Uncle Chen Shan felt deeply powerless and weary.

"Don't go into the mountains for anything during this time. It's very chaotic in the mountains. Black Wind Stockade people have gone mad for some reason and are sweeping the mountains and arresting people everywhere."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Chen Shan warned Su Mo again before turning to leave.

He had come to find Su Mo because he was worried about Su Mo, fearing that Su Mo might encounter the people from Black Wind Stockade again and meet with misfortune. Seeing that he was fine, Uncle Chen Shan left with peace of mind.

"Zhang Tieshan's family not only had their winter Plum Deer meat stolen, but they also fell into misfortune. Zhang Qian is about to be forcibly taken up the mountain by Black Wind Stockade guards?"

Su Mo stood in the courtyard for a moment, then went to the cellar. In the cellar, ten jin of Plum Deer meat were placed next to the Wild Boar Meat and Green Wolf Meat.

This ten jin of Plum Deer meat was sent to him by Zhang Qian at Zhang Tieshan's request, fearing he would starve to death in the winter. Even if he didn't want it, Zhang Qian insisted he take it.

Su Mo hadn't had a chance to eat the ten jin of deer meat yet.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Tieshan's family suddenly suffered such a devastating blow.

His gaze swept over the ten jin of Plum Deer meat. Su Mo knew that if those rampaging Black Wind Stockade guards returned to the mountain, Zhang Tieshan's family would be absolutely finished. Therefore, Su Mo shouldered the Beast Hide Great Bow, picked up the ancestral Hunting Knife, and rushed into the snowstorm.

Since Zhang Tieshan had his daughter Zhang Qian send him ten jin of Plum Deer meat in the depths of winter, how could Su Mo's Hunting Knife not be unsheathed? Moreover, judging by the footprints, those stockade guards should not have returned to Black Wind Stockade yet, and had not even returned to the mountain.

"Did these Black Wind Stockade guards go to Qingshan Town?"

Su Mo followed the footprints, initially thinking he would have to chase them into the mountains. However, he didn't expect the footprints to lead in the direction of Qingshan Town. What were these Black Wind Stockade guards doing in Qingshan Town?

Su Mo waited quietly for these stockade guards to return on the road leading into the mountain.

At this time, it was already getting dark.

"This over a hundred jin of Plum Deer meat only fetched one and a half strings of money, not even two strings. What bad luck."

"One and a half strings is fine. As long as we can have a drink, it's good. We'll go back and tell the stockade that the Zhang Tieshan family in Shuanglin Village has a beauty. Not only does she look fair and tender, but she's also exceptionally attractive. The Leaders will definitely like her. Let a Leader from the stockade come down the mountain, and I don't believe Zhang Tieshan's family will dare to stop them."

Not long after, four Black Wind Stockade guards, dressed in black and wearing black headscarves, returned drunkenly carrying wolf-tooth clubs. They did not have the stolen Plum Deer meat with them. Clearly, these stockade guards had received private information that Zhang Tieshan's family had a Plum Deer.

They had not informed the higher-ups of Black Wind Stockade and had secretly descended the mountain.

The stolen Plum Deer meat had been taken by these Black Wind Stockade guards to Qingshan Town to be exchanged for money and spent lavishly.

[One string of money = one thousand wen, one string = one tael of silver, one tael of gold = ten taels of silver]

"Hey, kid, who are you? How dare you block the path of Black Wind Stockade people?"

Just then.

These four Black Wind Stockade guards, carrying wolf-tooth clubs and reeking of alcohol, saw a figure standing in the snowy path leading into the mountain, as if deliberately waiting for them.

Carrying a Beast Hide Great Bow and a Hunting Knife at his waist, was he a Hunter?

"Damn it, we are Black Wind Stockade people. Do you, a mere Hunter, dare to stop us? Are you looking for death?"

A Black Wind Stockade guard saw someone daring to stand in the path into the mountain and block them. He immediately raised his wolf-tooth club, intending to kill this Hunter. When did Hunters dare to act so arrogantly in front of them?

The Hunters in Qingliang Mountain could be dealt with, taxed, or whatever they pleased by the people of Black Wind Stockade. They were the heavens of Qingliang Mountain.

However, as soon as the stockade guard carrying the wolf-tooth club walked up to the Hunter, a brilliant and dazzling blade light appeared, instantly illuminating the snowy ground under the night sky. The stockade guard's wolf-tooth club fell to the ground. His eyes widened as he clutched his neck tightly, and bright red blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground.

The stockade guard stared intently at the figure in front of him and fell into the snow with a thud.

This figure was, of course, Su Mo.

At this moment, he was not using the Beast Hide Great Bow but his ancestral Hunting Knife. The Hunting Knife could kill Beasts and Fierce Beasts, and even more so, it could kill beasts!

"Ah!"

Following the tragic death of the stockade guard, the remaining three Black Wind Stockade guards seemed to snap out of a daze, sobering up. They wanted to escape, but their response was the chilling, sky-piercing flash of blade light.

In an instant, Su Mo slaughtered all three Black Wind Stockade guards.

The splashing blood quickly soaked the snowy ground.

Su Mo threw the bodies of the four Black Wind Stockade guards into the mountain. Relying on the scent of blood, it shouldn't take long for Beasts to be attracted and devour them all, thus destroying the evidence.

After doing all this, Su Mo returned to the village.

After returning to the village, Su Mo took a portion of Green Wolf Meat from his cellar and headed to Zhang Tieshan's house.

"Su Mo, where are you going?"

"Grandma Li, I'm going to Uncle Tieshan's place."

"Alright, take these two jin of meat and these steamed buns to Qian'er and the others. Heaven is unfair; good people always suffer!"

It was pitch black when Grandma Li came out of her house halfway to the village. She handed Su Mo two jin of Green Wolf Meat and several freshly steamed buns, asking him to deliver them to Zhang Qian and her family.

This two jin of Green Wolf Meat was originally given to Grandma Li by Su Mo. However, Grandma Li was frugal and didn't want to eat the meat. But upon hearing about the misfortune that had befallen Uncle Zhang Tieshan's family, she took out the Green Wolf Meat she had been saving and asked Su Mo to deliver it.

Su Mo accepted the meat and buns without refusal and walked into the night. The world is dark, and life is hard.

He planned to bring Grandma Li some more meat tomorrow.

Currently, the villagers were avoiding Zhang Tieshan's family, fearing they would attract trouble from Black Wind Stockade and get burned themselves. But Grandma Li did not.

Su Mo arrived at Zhang Tieshan's doorstep and was about to knock when he heard the voices of Zhang Tieshan and his son from inside.
