Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

The entire Ma family of seventeen was burned to death in a fire, which caused a great sensation.

The whole village went to watch early in the morning.

The village officials in charge of the affairs of the village, along with the three elders, the village assistant, and the head of the village, all came to the ruins of Ma San's house.

The yellow adobe bricks had long since turned blackish-red from being fired.

The house had been dismantled, and blackened corpses were being carried out from various corners under the earthen walls inside.

The village head, the village chief, and the village chief were all examining the body.

The body appeared charred black, but the wounds on its body were still difficult to conceal.

Finally, a conclusion was reached after discussion among the group.

The entire Ma family of seventeen was first murdered, and then their house was burned down.

In the crowd, Duan Yu held Diao Chan's hand.

When Diao Chan heard Li Kui, Tinghou, Tingzhang, and the three elders explain that Ma San was killed first and then the house was burned down, her hand tightened involuntarily.

Looking up at Duan Yu, his gaze was filled with worry.

Diao Chan is not stupid.

Ma San has been the tyrant of the village for many years.

Over the years, there have been those who dared to be angry, but none who dared to speak out.

Ma San was a local tyrant in the surrounding area, and he usually gathered a group of wandering knights to bully men and women.

But over the years, no one has ever dared to cause trouble for Ma San.

But last night, Ma San's men came to their house to bully them, and Ma San's entire family was killed that night.

This matter...

"My husband..." Diao Chan called softly.

Duan Yu glanced down at Diao Chan beside him, then smiled slightly and gently stroked her hair, saying...

"Maybe this Ma San has done too many bad things."

"If you walk the dark road too often, you're bound to encounter a ghost."

"Let's go home. I'm going hunting in the mountains later."

Duan Yu tugged at Diao Chan's hand, then stepped out of the crowd.

Diao Chan was worried, but she didn't say anything.

She nodded obediently and then left with Duan Yu.

.........

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

evening.

In the dense forest of the mountains.

Duan Yu was sitting and resting on a huge blue stone.

Beside him lay a straight sword and a powerful bow.

The quiver was hanging on his back.

The air was thick with the smell of blood and the entrails of animals that had been removed.

Two full days have passed since Ma San's entire family was murdered.

As Duan Yu had predicted, the killing of someone like Ma San did not cause much of a stir.

The county government's investigation was merely a rational one.

After all, people like Ma San have too many enemies.

Moreover, that huge fire burned almost everything to ashes.

Most people applauded and cheered.

Before setting the house on fire, Duan Yu burned half of the house deeds, land deeds, and indentures that Ma San had obtained over the years by bullying men and women.

The remaining half was scattered by Duan Yu around Ma San's house.

Those contracts involving selling oneself, land, or houses are gone.

Those locals who had been extorted or framed by Ma San all cried out that the people who killed Ma San and his family were good people.

Of course, Duan Yu wouldn't claim credit for such a good deed.

After all, that involved more than twenty lives.

If discovered, he will certainly be executed in the autumn.

Duan Yu hasn't gone to Jinyang City these past two days.

Instead, he focused on hunting in the mountains and used his rest time to improve his vocabulary.

In two days, the prey that Duan Yu had hunted could be described as piling up like a mountain.

There are countless foxes, rabbits, wild boars, wolves, pheasants, and wild ducks.

There were also two leopards and two black bears.

Fortunately, Duan Yu had taken in Shi Tou and his gang of followers.

Otherwise, if Duan Yu had to deliver all the prey himself every day, who knows how many trips he would have to make.

Just now, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qingan, and Liu Baitu have all gone down the mountain, each carrying a full load of prey.

There are three days left until the transaction with that woman.

Wolves and bears are already there.

But there was no tiger.

Moreover, this is already the third day since we entered the mountains, and we still haven't hunted a tiger.

Duan Yu, sitting on the bluestone, frowned.

"Could it be that there are no tigers around here?"

"Three days. If we don't encounter the tiger within three days, then we'll have to break our promise this time."

Having rested enough on the bluestone, Duan Yu stood up and prepared to go down the mountain.

It was almost evening.

By this time, it would probably be dark by the time we got back to the village from the mountain.

Therefore, we had to abandon our plan to hunt tigers today.

He stood up and leaped into the air.

Duan Yu landed directly under the bluestone.

With his straight sword hanging at his waist and his powerful bow slung over his back, Duan Yu walked out of the dense forest.

suddenly.

Just as Duan Yu took a step...

A gust of cold wind blew.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Yu felt as if the hairs all over his body stood up in an instant.

wrong!

Duan Yu's gaze sharpened.

He looked around warily.

However, after scanning the area, nothing was found.

It was early spring, and there wasn't much greenery yet.

The entire mountain forest was a grayish-brown color.

But the feeling that made your hair stand on end, as if you were being watched by something, did not subside at all.

The sense of crisis he developed on the battlefield over the past decade or so had enabled him to escape from seemingly insurmountable situations countless times.

Therefore, Duan Yu always trusted his intuition when it came to premonitions of crisis.

He reached down and took the longbow from his back.

He drew two arrows made of fine iron directly from the quiver, nocked them on the bowstring, and then bent over slightly.

Suddenly.

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow.

I see!

It was behind a large rock about 30 meters away from him.

A pair of fierce eyes stared intently at him.

Bow and arrow!

Whoosh!

A powerful arrow pierced the sky.

It hurtled straight toward those eyes that gleamed with a fierce light, accompanied by the howling wind.

Duan Yu was fast at shooting arrows.

The ferocious beast hidden behind the boulder was also quite fast.

Just as Duan Yu shot the arrow.

A huge figure leaped out from behind the rock.

Don’t retreat but advance.

The figure leaped high and swiftly dodged Duan Yu's first arrow.

"What a tiger!"

Duan Yu's lips curled up slightly.

Then the second arrow, which was held between his fingers, was immediately nocked onto the bowstring.

The bow is fully drawn, like a crescent moon.

The arrow shot out, heading straight for the tiger's jaw.

With the arrow shot, Duan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From the very beginning, when he sensed danger, the first thing he drew from his quiver was two arrows.

Just in case.

A bow and arrow is not a gun; it can fire in rapid succession.

If you encounter a fast-moving beast at close range.

There might only be one chance.

If you miss with one arrow, you basically won't have a second chance.

Furthermore, even if the first arrow hits, it may not necessarily be fatal.

Tigers are perfect, top-tier hunters that have evolved in nature.

Even the most experienced hunters have a high chance of being attacked by a tiger when they encounter one.

Therefore, Duan Yu never dared to be careless from the very beginning.

"Ow~"

The tiger's roar shook the mountains and forests.

The birds in the forest were all startled.

A huge corpse fell from mid-air.

An arrow pierced through the jaw and head, exiting through the left ear.

Pfft!

The enormous corpse crashed down in front of Duan Yu.

A smile also appeared on Duan Yu's face.

The iron arrow pierced through the tiger's jaw and left ear, without affecting the tiger skin's integrity at all.

That perfectly met the woman's requirements.

One hundred gold coins, here I come!

Duan Yu was delighted and then bent down to pull out the arrow.

Just as Duan Yu's hand touched the arrow, the woods not far away rustled again.

Duan Yu was startled.

He immediately turned around and drew the straight sword from his waist.

The strong bow was still on the ground; there was no time to pick it up.

His gaze swept warily toward the source of the sound.

Just when Duan Yu thought there might be another tiger, two black figures emerged from behind the boulder where the tiger had been hiding.

"Little Tiger?"

Duan Yu was taken aback.

The two black-bodied cubs with white stripes that emerged from behind the boulder turned out to be two tiger cubs.

Duan Yu looked at the tiger's carcass lying on the ground.

He frowned as he looked at the two little tigers baring their teeth at him.

It seems he shot and killed the mother of the two tiger cubs.

These two tiger cubs are at most two or three months old.

If we just leave it here unattended...

They're definitely going to die.

After thinking for a moment, Duan Yu stepped forward.

Black fur with white markings.

They are clearly two little black tigers.

Seeing Duan Yu approaching, the two little tigers bared their teeth and growled as they retreated.

Duan Yu grabbed one of the people by the back of the neck and lifted him up in his hand.

“I killed your mother, and I will raise you to adulthood, but don’t even think about taking revenge when you grow up.”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend buying two more black tiger skins."

Duan Yu was carrying the two little ones.

After tying the two little ones up with a rope, Duan Yu dragged the tiger's carcass down the mountain.
