Chapter 41: A Year Worth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I really did it!” Xue Wufu was starting to become anxious. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had injured one of his legs, he would have jumped up and down. “Our Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were the witnesses! They saw it with their own eyes! I-I didn’t expect that I would hit it. I just shot randomly in a hurry and I really hit the...”
Everyone had seen Xue Wufu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue standing beside the bear, and it was true that the bear had been killed by an arrow. Xue Wufu’s bow and arrow were also there. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were obviously too young to do anything, so they naturally did not suspect these two children. The only right answer was Xue Wufu.
“I really couldn’t tell, Wufu.”
“Wufu, you were lucky.”
“It’s enough for you to brag about for a year.”
Xue Wufu’s back was straight from the praise, his face was full of glory, and he looked like he was on cloud nine. He even patted Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, signaling them to praise him as well, so that he could be more arrogant.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
“Alright, stop complimenting him.” Xue Dafu looked at his fifth son’s injuries with lingering fear. “It’s just as he said, I didn’t expect him to really hit the target. It’s like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. If he didn’t hit the target, he would be the one lying here today.”
Immediately after, he shouted at his fifth son with an extremely unsightly expression, “Are you going to secretly go out again next time?!”
Xue Wufu had never seen his father so angry before. He immediately shook his head, “I won’t, I’ll stop. I’ve already told Hunter Wu that I won’t go deep into the mountains to hunt anymore.”
“Oh right, where’s Hunter Wu and the others?” Xue Erfu asked as he looked around.
Xue Wufu said, “They’re still in the mountains. I found out that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue came to the mountains to find me. That mountain is not a place for them to stay. So, I told Hunter Wu that I will not hunt anymore. I will take Xue Yan and Jiang Yue home. I didn’t expect that we would meet the blind bear when we were almost at the foot of the mountain with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.”
Among the dozen or so young men, someone immediately said, “Then doesn’t that mean that the big bear is yours alone? You won’t have to share it with anyone?”
......
“Yeap!” Xue Wufu nodded aggressively, that was him being proud.
“Erfu, your family is going to make a fortune!” Someone immediately said to Xue Erfu.
“What fortune? I don’t even know how much it can be sold for,” Xue Erfu laughed.
“Hunter Wu once hunted a deer last time and sold it for a few silvers,” the man said. “This is a blind bear. I’ve never heard of anyone hunting a bear in my life. It must be more expensive.”
“Who knows?” Xue Erfu laughed. “If it’s really as you say, then our family’s fifth son will be the greatest hero of our family. ”
Xue Wufu felt even smugger as he hurriedly urged, “Father, I twisted my leg, so I can’t go to town. Hurry up and go sell this bear in town. I want to know how much it can be sold for.”
Jiang Yue was about to remind him about the matter of selling the bear in town, but she did not need to say anything.
“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and sell it in town.” The dozen young men all said.
“I’ll need your help to carry it back,” Xue Dafu laughed.
“You’re too polite. We insist.”
The dozen or so young men laughed heartily, but their hands were extremely agile. They immediately took out their machetes and chopped down the trees that were as thick as their forearms with Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu. They took off the branches and leaves, leaving only the trunk to use as a carrying pole. Then, they used a sickle to cut off a lot of vines and tied them into a stronger vine rope.
