death of village chief

Swoosh ..

Two figures appeared in front of the green mountain village gate.

"Fourth, why are you calling us here?"

"Did you learn anything about Chen Yang?"

The third and fifth brothers demanded almost simultaneously, their voices a harmonious blend of excitement and expectation.

" Hahaha, I did get the news about him. I.... Uh..?"  As fourth brother of Wu was speaking With a mischievous glint in his eye, he was interrupted by his third brother.

"Hehehe, I knew he would not elude us for long," boasted the third brother, his masked face twisting into a wicked grin. "Let's see where this little game of cat and mouse leads us."

"Be patient, third brother." "Do not interrupt other people's words; wait your turn," admonished the fifth brother, his voice calm but firm. "Allow fourth brother to finish his words."

" Where was I . Ahh . Yes .. I heard from some children and villagers that he had left the village three weeks ago, and only three people in the village might know where he is.

"And who are these three people?" asked the third brother eagerly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

With a knowing smile, fourth brother revealed the identities of their targets – the village chief and the Xu sisters.

"Then let us capture them and bring them here," Wu's fifth brother said.

As the plan unfolded, the Wu brothers moved quickly, intent on capturing the village chief and the Xu sisters. As they marched through the quaint streets, they instilled fear in the villagers due to their superior martial prowess and intimidating presence.

When they arrived at the village square and found the village chief, a wise but frail old man, conversing with some of the villagers. Without a moment's hesitation, the third and fifth Wu brothers surrounded him, their black robes billowing in the wind as they emanated an aura of power and authority.

"Village chief, you will come us," the third brother ordered, his voice cold and menacing.

The village chief, startled by the unexpected intrusion, stammered in confusion. "W-What is the meaning of this? Who are you and why are you seeking of me ?"

"You will know in a while," the fifth brother replied, his eyes flashing with impatience. He clapped his hand and said

"Do not resist, or I will have to get some hand excercise to make you willing ."

With no choice but to comply, the village chief reluctantly followed the Wu brothers, his heart heavy with worry for the safety of village.

Meanwhile, the Xu sisters, Xu Lin and Xu Mei, were going about their daily chores when they were interrupted by the Wu brother's menacing presence. Sensing danger, they exchanged anxious glances before attempting to flee, but their efforts were futile against their pursuers' overwhelming strength.

"Stop right there!" yelled the fourth brother, his voice resonating throughout the village as he cornered the sisters.

Terrified by the aura , Xu Lin and Xu Mei trembled before the imposing figures of the fourth Wu brothers.

"Who are you ,What are you trying to do and where are you taking us ." Xu Lin summoned her courage and declared " don't come any closer."

Looking at the Xu sisters who looks like as if seen a ghost , fourth Wu brother eye turned cold and he replied"You will know in a while."

He hold hand of both Xu Lin and Xu Mei and took them away with him.

The air was thick with tension and fear as the brothers began herding the villagers to an empty barn on the outskirts of the village. The residents, who had grown accustomed to the peaceful life their small community provided, were now thrust into a world of uncertainty and dread as a result of the Wu brothers' arrival.

In the barn, the village chief, alongside Xu Lin and Xu Mei, stood surrounded by the Wu brothers, their backs against the cold, rough wooden walls. The dim light from the lanterns hanging overhead cast long shadows, heightening the already somber mood.

"Let's not waste any more time," the fifth brother began, his voice stern as he addressed the village chief. "You will tell us everything you know about Chen Yang's whereabouts. If he has truly left, someone here must know where he went."

The village chief, his wrinkled face marked with lines of wisdom and now, worry, remained silent for a moment before responding. "We don't know anything about him and we didn't even know where he went."

The third brother sneered and moved closer, his face inches from the chief's. "We are not here to play guessing games. Tell us where he is, or the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Mei, her protective instincts kicking in, spoke up, "Brother Chen Yang is not here, and he has not informed anyone about his whereabouts , just as village chief said we didn't even see him leave."

The fourth brother tilted his head and fixed his gaze on Xu Lin, who remained silent but visibly shaken. "And you, what do you know of this? Speak, and be quick about it."

Xu Mei whispered, "He left under the cover of night and only said he was heading north. And will come to village to repay us , after make stable footing there , that all I know about."

" Please let us go " lingering fear could be heard in her voice.

The fourth and fifth Wu brothers were discussing how to determine whether the village chief and Xu sister were telling the truth or not.

Third brother of Wu who was close to village chief look at the Xu sisters with greed in his eye,  licking his lip he used his hand as a claw and attack village chief.

"Ahh... Wh...ou.."

As the third brother struck the village chief, the old man collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Even when he died, he had no idea why he had suddenly attacked.The barn fell silent, the shock palpable in the frigid night air. The villagers stared in horror, while the fourth and fifth Wu brothers paused. Looking at the third brother with a questioning expression.
