Jiang Yue agreed after some thought. She had achieved her goal of letting her family live a better life, so she agreed. “Sure.”

Then, she turned to look at Xue Wufu. “Wake him up, we still have to go to town to sell the bear parts.”

“Okay.”

Xue Yan raised his hand and pressed down on Xue Wufu’s philtrum. With a bit of force, Xue Wufu immediately woke up from the pain and opened his eyes.

Before he could react to what was happening, Xue Wufu saw the huge black body of the bear beside him. His face turned ashen in fear and he immediately backed away.

“Hey, you’re okay…” Xue Yan comforted him. “You don’t have to be afraid. That bear is already dead. It was shot to death by you.”

“Ah…” Xue Wufu was dumbfounded. After a long while, he pointed at the giant bear with one hand and himself with the other in disbelief. “I… I shot him to death?”

“You did.” Xue Yan nodded affirmatively.

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.

“But…” Xue Wufu was still in a daze. “But I don’t remember doing anything… I only remember that I was almost scared to death, then I hit my head, and I think I fainted… Ah, how did I really meet a bear?! Am I even alive?!”

In the end, Xue Wufu was still trembling. He looked himself up and down, afraid that he was already dead.

“Don’t panic. You’re still alive.” Xue Yan comforted him. “You really did shoot the blind bear to death. Before you fainted, you used your bow and arrow to shoot it in a panic state. Who knew that you would really hit it by chance and the blind bear fell down just like that. By the time Jiang Yue and I rushed over, you had already fainted. You must have been too scared to remember this. There’s only the three of us here. If it wasn’t you, it couldn’t have been me and Jiang Yue, right?”

“That’s true, it was me!” Xue Wufu’s face immediately lit up with joy, as if he was amazed by himself.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue couldn’t bear to watch his ego being inflated like that.

“Even hunter Wu couldn’t hit the bear, but I actually hit the bear… Quick, help me up.” Xue Wufu was so excited that he wanted to get up from the ground.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue supported him on both sides.

Xue Wufu’s body was in pain. When he stood up, he found that his left ankle had been twisted. It was so painful that he grimaced in pain. He quickly sat back down on the ground.

Xue Yan examined him with worry in his eyes. He squatted down and stared at the injury. He didn’t notice it just now and didn’t expect Xue Wufu to hurt himself like this.

“Xue Yan, you know how to do stuff like this too?” Xue Wufu was very surprised.

Xue Yan said unhurriedly, “I have a classmate whose family runs a clinic in the town. I’ve been to his house many times. I’ve seen his father prescribe medicine for people. So I know a little about it.”

“Yes, of course, you would have such a classmate. I went to town to pick you up once, and you were waiting for me at the clinic.” Xue Wufu remembered. “Then did you apply the things on my body?”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t study in vain. Can you tell what’s wrong with my foot?”

“It’s just a spinal injury. It’s not a big deal. Later, I’ll pick some ox tendon grass that can promote blood circulation, dispel blood stasis, reduce swelling, and relieve pain for you to apply. You’ll be fine after resting for ten days to half a month.”

“I’m relieved. I must have sprained it when I was chasing the big gray rabbit. I felt a little pain at the time, but I didn’t care. By the way, where’s my big gray rabbit?” Xue Wufu looked around and continued, “He must have run away. Fortunately, I caught a bear. We’re going to be rich! We can definitely sell it for a lot of money!”
