Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 39: Shattered Dreams

"When did you hunt this fox?" Qin Feng asked the young boy who stood before him.

"I hunted it this morning!" the boy replied.

"It only costs one hundred wen!" Qin Feng said.

The young boy looked at Qin Feng with anticipation.

"Alright, I'll take this fox!" Qin Feng took out one hundred wen from his pocket.

"Here you go!" he said, handing the money to the boy.

The boy excitedly handed the fox over to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng carried the fox and walked towards an empty alley.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng walked out of the alley again.

In his hand, he held a bottle filled with blood.

The guard's courtyard.

Qin Feng walked in from outside.

Hu Qingya took Qin Feng's clothes and said, "My lord, you've been busy all day, you must be tired. Sit down and rest."

"My lord, you rest first, the meal will be ready soon!" Hu Qingya said, seeing Qin Feng looking very happy.

These days, life was much better than before.

Not only did they not go hungry anymore, but they also didn't have to worry about anomalies.

Soon, Hu Qingya finished cooking the meal.

"My lord, it's time to eat!" Hu Qingya placed the dishes on the table.

The meal ended with Qin Feng and Hu Qingya talking and laughing.

"My lord, please sit, I'll go wash the dishes!" Hu Qingya carried the dishes and went downstairs.

Looking at Hu Qingya, who was so virtuous, Qin Feng secretly decided not to let her suffer any harm.

That's why Jiang Yong and Hong Yun must die!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After an hour, the sound of drums came from afar.

"The Drum Maker Anomaly has arrived, it's time to kill Hong Yun!" Qin Feng first placed realgar outside the door, then took the bottle and walked outside.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng found his way into Hong Yun's house.

At this moment, Hong Yun's house was brightly lit.

Hong Yun and a few others were sitting there, drinking heavily.

"Everyone, don't forget what happened today at midnight!" Hong Yun reminded them.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will burn Qin Feng's house!"

"Big brother, I heard Qin Feng's wife is very beautiful, we'll have some fun with her!"

"Big brother, since you've treated us so well, we'll make sure to do a good job!"

"..."

All of Hong Yun's men were smiling and talking.

Listening to the conversation inside, Qin Feng's face grew colder.

"Let the Half-Treant Anomaly play with them!"

After saying that, Qin Feng poured the fox blood on the ground.

"Unfortunately, Jiang Yong's house is very far from here."

Qin Feng looked at the blood on the ground and sighed softly.

The Half-Treant Anomaly would arrive soon.

He had to hide inside the room.

There was simply no time to run to Jiang Yong's room.

Qin Feng moved quickly and rushed towards the room.

After Qin Feng entered the room, he saw three Half-Treant Anomalies heading towards Hong Yun's room.

"Three Half-Treant Anomalies!"

"Hong Yun is doomed!"

Qin Feng stood in front of the window, looking at Hong Yun's courtyard.

Inside Hong Yun's courtyard.

"Big brother, now that you've become the deputy captain of the guards, you must take care of me!"

"Let's toast to Big Brother Hong!"

Listening to the laughter of his men, Hong Yun smiled.

In his heart, he believed that this mission was foolproof.

After all, they had made thorough preparations.

And Qin Feng was probably already asleep at midnight.

By the time Qin Feng woke up, the house would probably be half burned.

Then, Qin Feng would definitely go to protect the convoy.

And he would successfully become the deputy captain of the guards.

At this moment, strange sounds suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing this sound, Hong Yun's brow furrowed slightly.

"Big brother, it's probably a group of rats. I'll go and drive them away!"

Xiao Wu stood up from his chair.

"Xiao Wu, after you drive away those rats, come back and have a drink!"

Hong Yun said, then drank a glass of wine.

He didn't even pay attention to the rats outside.

Xiao Wu tremblingly opened the door.

But as soon as he opened the door, Xiao Wu was completely dumbfounded.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to shout loudly, he was caught by a tree branch.

In the next moment, Xiao Wu was dragged out of the room.

The door slammed shut.

"Xiao Wu, really, driving away a group of rats and slamming the door so hard!"

Hong Yun shook his head slightly and continued drinking.

The other henchmen didn't pay any attention and continued drinking their wine.

Then, the strange noises outside never stopped.

Hong Yun's face became very displeased.

He couldn't understand why Xiao Wu had been outside for so long and still hadn't dealt with the rats outside.

"Go and see what's going on with Xiao Wu?"

Hong Yun shouted loudly.

Bang!

As soon as one of his subordinates stood up, the door was directly knocked open from the outside.

A dried-up corpse flew in from outside.

"Who is it?"

"How dare they come here and cause trouble?"

Hong Yun stood up abruptly, holding a long knife, ready to confront the person outside.

The other henchmen also grabbed their weapons.

But soon, Hong Yun's face changed drastically, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Because he saw three Half-Treant Anomalies outside.

"Half-Treant Anomaly!"

"How could there be Half-Treant Anomalies?"

Hong Yun's face turned pale. He quickly fled towards the window.

In the instant Hong Yun tried to escape, the three Half-Treant Anomalies also moved.

Several branches suddenly sprouted from their bodies.

Although Hong Yun reacted very quickly, he was still not faster than the branches.

It only took five breaths.

Hong Yun, along with many henchmen, were all tightly bound by the branches.

"No!"

Hong Yun struggled violently.

His eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Originally, all he had to do was burn Qin Feng's house.

Then he would become the deputy captain of the guards.

But at this moment, he encountered the Half-Treant Anomalies.

His dream of becoming the deputy captain was shattered before it could be realized.

Hong Yun couldn't understand why there were Half-Treant Anomalies in the guard's courtyard.

"Ah!"

After a moment, Hong Yun, along with many henchmen, turned into lifeless corpses.

After these half-tree people finished feeding on Hong Yun and the others, they slowly walked towards the servant's courtyard.

"Hong Yun is dead!"

"Now only Jiang Yong is left!"

Qin Feng's gaze turned towards Jiang Yong's courtyard.

If Jiang Yong's courtyard wasn't relatively far away, Qin Feng would definitely have painted fox blood on Jiang Yong's door after finishing with Hong Yun's house.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng walked out of the room and headed towards Hong Yun's house.

He carefully searched the bodies of Hong Yun and the others.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng had five taels of silver and several bottles of poison in his hands.

"Really poor, not even a secret manual!"

Qin Feng spat fiercely before quickly leaving.

Early the next morning, Qin Feng's door was knocked.

"Who is it?"

Qin Feng's impatient voice came from inside.

"Qin Feng, come out quickly, something happened in the guard's courtyard!"

A voice of a little horse came from outside.

"Ma Ge, what happened?"

Qin Feng put on his clothes and ran out of the room.

"Go to Hong Yun's place quickly, something big happened!"

After Xiao Ma finished speaking, he quickly ran towards Hong Yun's place.

Qin Feng silently followed behind Xiao Ma.

When Qin Feng arrived at Hong Yun's room, he found that many guards, including Jiang Yong, had gathered there.

Several guards were examining the cause of Hong Yun's death.
