Chapter 35: Xu Chu's Tiger Craving (Part 1)

  On the rugged mountain path, shrouded in darkness by the night, two figures were slowly moving out of the forest, as if dragging a massive object behind them.

  "Heh heh, Brother Chu, this wild boar is so heavy, it seems that we can show off in front of the villagers this time, heh heh heh......" A dark-skinned young man with a big sweat on his head was dragging a large wild boar with another person in the dark forest, proudly saying to himself.

  But the one called "Chu Gege" was a robust man, nine feet tall with a tiger's back and bear's waist. At this moment, compared to the young man's pale face, he looked relaxed, watching his opponent's proud expression, couldn't help but smile wryly: "I say Ah San, you've only dragged for so many steps and you're already out of breath, do you still want to show off in front of your fellow villagers?"

  Upon hearing this, the other person's face turned red with rage and shouted: "Ah Niu always looks down on me, saying I can't catch a big prey, humph, now it's time to let him see."

  He helplessly shook his head, and the sturdy man suddenly burst out laughing: "You still say you're brothers? What's going on? You've turned against each other over a pig?"

  "Xu Zhu! You'd better say so! Don't try to steal my credit later!"

  "Whatever you want..."

  With a wry smile, he shook his head again. The burly man suddenly saw some light ahead and couldn't help but exclaim: "We're home! Let's add some strength!" As he spoke, he pulled the several hundred catty wild boar behind him onto his body, not even turning red or breathing heavily, nor caring about the other party, and rushed forward.

  "Xǔ Zhū! Good for you, Xǚ Zhū! You dare to monopolize the spoils of war! Wah wah wah wah! I'm so angry I could die!" The young man who had been left behind in the chase suddenly went crazy when he saw the former quickly dragging the wild boar towards the village.

  "If I let you carry it, we won't make it home tomorrow! Hahaha..."

  Thus, the two of them ran towards the village entrance, chasing and scolding each other.

  However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, Xujiacun Village had already undergone a bloodbath.

  As he approached the door, a pungent smell suddenly hit his nostrils, and Xu Chu's smiling face froze instantly. He looked at the young man behind him with an eerie gaze, wondering what this smell was.

  However, the other party seemed to have no reaction and immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Ah Niu! Father Xu! We're back!"

  The words had barely fallen when an oppressive silence...

  "Haha, we caught a wild boar! It's several hundred pounds! Everyone come out and take a look!"

  For a long time, it was still quiet and silent.

  At this moment, Xu Chu's face had already revealed a hint of unease, and the young man called Ah San was even more pale, but at this moment. Unintentionally, a pool of blood slowly flowed out from the village entrance, accompanied by that increasingly pungent smell, and the two men's hearts skipped a beat at once.

  Regardless of the prey, quickly ran into the village entrance.

  But what happened next completely shattered their nerves.

  More than two hundred corpses.

  Mixed with thick and nauseating fresh blood piled up in the center of the village, the ground was filled with hoes and scattered straw, even windows stained with blood, and those piles of limbs and arms scattered all over.

  Yellow, white, red! Thick **woven in every corner of the village entrance, as if the two hundred or so corpses formed a mountain of corpses, under the reflection of the black night, it looks desolate and deep...

  "What...what exactly happened?" As he spoke, a hint of weakness was visible, Xu Chu stared blankly at the corpse in front of him, his footsteps slow and laborious, but his eyes had long been soaked with tears.

  "Dad! Mom! Brother Niu! Where are you?!" Ah San desperately crawled on the ground, his expression becoming frantic as he searched for the owner of the corpse. The previous joy had long since disappeared into the clouds.

  "Who... who is it?" The nine-foot-tall figure wandered back and forth in the center of the village, helpless. Xu Chu stared at the bloodstained ground, muttering to himself from time to time.

  "Ah... Ah San... is it... you guys?"

  Suddenly, a person slowly crawled out of the house, and it was Ah Niu, the young man from before. However, at this time, he had also been deeply pierced by three spears in his chest and abdomen, and was already on his last breath.

  However, when he suddenly saw that it was Ah Niu Ge, Ah San was overjoyed and rushed to the front of the opponent in a rolling and crawling manner. He was so happy that he cried, but then he saw the injuries on his body and couldn't help but cry: "Brother! What's wrong with you? What happened to you!"

  Gently stroking the other's face, Ah Niu Ge's face flashed a hint of tender smile, but seeing Xu Chu walk over with an expressionless face, he couldn't help but breathe heavily and say: "Xu... Xu Chu... Fortunately... you... you guys... aren't here."

  "Who exactly is it?" At this moment, Xu Chu's face was as gloomy as possible. It would be better to say that his eyes had become empty and calm rather than saying he was expressionless and terrifying.

  "Brother, quickly say who killed everyone? Who was it?"

  "Ah Niu remained calm, looking at his younger brother, even with multiple wounds on his body, but a hint of relief still lingered on his face. He gently wiped away Ah San's tears and said softly, 'You... shouldn't ask... just leave... quickly...'"

  "Come on, tell us already, who killed everyone."

  Facing Ah San's repeated questioning, Ah Niu Ge seemed to have reached the end of his rope, his chest heaving violently up and down as if he wanted to say one last thing before dying.

  "Go... go to Cao Xin... General... At this moment... the only one who can contend with that thief... in Yuzhou... and even in Yanzhou... is General Cao Xin alone..." As he spoke, Ah Niu's eyeballs slowly turned white, but until the very end, he tightly grasped Ah San's arm, and with his last breath, uttered a final sentence.

  "Xǔ Chu...... okay...... okay...... take care of...... my little brother......"

  Having said that, he left with a flourish.

  "Brother!!"

  Seeing the only relative in the last moment before death, Ah San suddenly felt a pain like falling from heaven to hell, and for a while, he couldn't help but wail loudly, constantly calling out to the other person.

  However, at this moment, Xu Chu was quietly watching everything from behind, although he still didn't know who the culprit was that killed everyone in the village, but now he knew what he had to do...

  Relying on Cao Xin, the only one who can resist those thieves is General Cao Xin...

  For a moment, this sentence echoed in Xu Chu's mind, and he couldn't calm down for a while.

  A while.

  Xiang decided, Xu Chu quickly walked up to A San's face, seeing the other still wailing loudly, but couldn't help but roar with anger.

  "A seven-foot tall man! Why behave like a woman!"

  A thunderous roar suddenly came from behind, Ah San was about to cry, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare blankly at the other person.

  At this time, Xu Chu said calmly: "You all heard it, Ah Niu Ge said that if you want to avenge, go to Cao Xin's general. Xu San, listen to me! Now there are only two of us left in the village, I don't care what happened before, now there are 200 corpses here! Two hundred! We can't cry now, crying won't kill our enemies, we must make those people pay the price!"

  Hurriedly wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, Ah San also revealed a resolute expression, looking at Xu Chu in front of her and saying:

  "Surrender...to General Cao Xin."
