Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 145 - 119: Snow Stepping Traceless, Great Success in Medical Skill

For a moment, many people's hearts turned cold, not from the chill of the world, but from a coldness in their hearts.

When the Old Emperor Cheng Jun of Great Yan was still in power, Donghe Town was a famous official kiln town in Qingzhou, with the government office and major forces setting up there.

Now, the one who holds Great Yan's great instrument of power is the Celestial Inquiry New Emperor, who does not favor Qingzhou porcelain and thus abandoned Donghe Town. Since then, ordinary people naturally dared not continue kiln firing, and the once-fortunate Donghe Town thus declined.

With the passage of time, many forces have long since moved away from the small town, but some major forces still remain, among which the Guo Family can be said to be the local tyrants of the town.

"That gambling house is run by Guo Lie, the brother-in-law of the Zhao Family from Canghe City... Who in the town dares to offend the Zhao Family behind the Guo Family?"

"Those damned beasts, I came back from Canghe City a few days ago, and it's said that the evildoer, the Flower-Picking Thief Bai Yi, was killed. How great it would be if the hero who killed Bai Yi, Hero Li, could also kill that beast Guo Lie..." someone in the crowd whispered.

At these words, many people showed intense anticipation in their eyes, but many also shook their heads, "Speak cautiously of this matter, if the henchmen of the Guo Family hear it, you might not fare well..."

The crowd looked on with complex expressions as Li Tie got up from the ground, staggeringly carrying Xiaohu towards the medical clinic, but no one dared to step forward to help, fearing being targeted by the Guo Family.

"Doctor, doctor, please save my son."

The doctor at the clinic was just about to help, but then recalled something, just sighed and shook his head, "You, you better go to another clinic."

Li Tie took his son to several clinics in a row, but no one was willing to help. Li Tie knew what the doctors were concerned about, so he gritted his teeth and planned to first take Xiaohu back home, then try to buy some medicinal balm for him.

Just at this moment, the Rice Hat Wanderer arrived in Donghe Town carrying three pots of wine.

"Old man, is there a man named Li Tie in this town? Where does his family live?"

"Li Tie? Who are you..." The old hunter, holding a hatchet, looked over with some caution, "What do you want with him?"

Su Mu felt a joy within his heart. Such a reaction meant this person surely knew where Uncle Li and Xiaohu lived, so he spoke, "I am a distant relative of Li Tie, here in town to visit him, please tell me."

Upon hearing this, the old hunter gave a complex look at the youth holding the wine, sighed suddenly, turned, and pointed east of the city, "Follow this road ahead and you'll find a Li's Bun Shop."

Noticing the complexity and sigh on the old man's face, Su Mu's eyes instantly became sharp. He had thought the blood scent was just from the old man's hunting.

Now it seems it wasn't so!

"Thank you for telling me."

After speaking, under the conical hat of the Rice Hat Wanderer, the ground of the small town suddenly gushed with blood, and cries and screams filled the air. The scenes from Qingshui Town overlapped with Donghe Town before his eyes.

"It won't be... Uncle Li and Xiaohu will be fine."

The Rice Hat Wanderer clenched his empty fist, and suddenly a tremendous roar sounded in the cold wind. As he brushed past, the old hunter suddenly felt a chill, his hair standing on end as if electrified.

Relying on the mountains for his livelihood, the old man had lived by hunting since childhood, engaging in prolonged battles with wild beasts and possessing an unusually sharp sense.

A moment ago, the youngster asking for directions newly, yet passing by him felt like a raging beast, ready to devour any man, was stalking by.

In a daze, the youth's hair blowing wildly in the cold wind resembled the whiskers of the Mountain Monarch.

Clang!

Despite years of hunting experience, the hunter couldn't hold onto his hatchet, which clattered metallically as it fell to the ground.

"Gulp!"

The old man gulped, swallowing his fear, turned, and saw that the Rice Hat Wanderer had long disappeared from view. In just a few breaths, his entire body was soaked by a cold sweat in this winter.

"Since when did Li Tie have such a terrifying distant relative..."

But soon a trace of burning anticipation surfaced in the depths of the old man's eyes, "Perhaps, the Li father and son may be able to survive this calamity..."

"It would be great if that person was the Hero Li who killed Bai Yi."

Amidst the cold wind, a faint smell of blood wafted with the wind, mixing with the smell of buns. Very quickly, Su Mu stopped.

Broken and collapsed doors appeared to have been forcibly shattered from outside, and the lintel signboard, broken into three pieces, swayed with a 'creak' sound in the cold wind, with the words 'Li's' catching his eye.

The scent of blood was drifting from the wreckage of the bun shop.

The scene of Master Zhou's death in Qingshui Town utterly overlapped with this one, and an exasperating sound came from Su Mu's gritting teeth, killing intent surged in his eyes.

An overwhelming fury burned Su Mu's rationality, turning his vision from snowy white to blood red. At this moment, the Gu insect in his chest stirred, rapidly waking.

But Su Mu seemed oblivious.

Until a voice, filled with surprise and familiarity, sounded amidst the wind and snow.

"Who are you?"

Su Mu's entire body shuddered violently; before his sanity burned completely away, this voice awoke him. Su Mu turned swiftly to look.

Amidst the snow stood a middle-aged man, face filled with anxious pain, carrying a boy with a blood-stained right arm, unconscious and silent.

"Uncle Li?"

"You, you're Xiaomu?!"

Seeing the owner of the voice clearly, the killing intent disappeared from Su Mu's eyes. The two shared a brief, startled glance before their tense bodies relaxed instantly. Uncle Li let out a long breath, having thought it was someone sent again by Guo Lie.
