"Don't listen to your nonsense, dozens of taels? A girl in a brothel only sells for five taels of silver. If you take her home, you can kill or torture her and no one will care. Bear paws can sell for that much? You're kidding me, I don't believe it."

"Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. It's not like it's my bear paw, why would I lie to you?"

"......"

The villagers kept chattering and making noise.

The conversation revolved entirely around Yan Xia and the grizzly bear behind her.

When Yan Xia learned that bear paws were so valuable, she gave up the idea of ​​eating them.

She found Zhao Dali and rented an oxcart.

Head to town immediately.

Fearing that she would attract attention, Yan Xia covered the grizzly bear with a layer of straw.

We arrived at the back door of the house where the wild boar had been sold last time.

She knocked on the door.

Who is it?

"Butler Wang, it's me, the one who sold the wild boar last time. I've got some good stuff again!"

Yan Xia's voice is very distinctive, crisp yet gentle.

"Oh, it's you! What good stuff did you bring this time?" Butler Wang opened the back door as soon as he heard her voice.

"It's a grizzly bear! A whole grizzly bear, with both paws intact and its fur still in good condition!"

She brushed aside the straw covering the grizzly bear, revealing it.

"Wow! Madam, you are truly skilled! I wonder who your master is? To have such an ability to hunt a grizzly bear—"

Butler Wang was truly impressed.

You should know that grizzly bears eat people.

Let alone hunters, even if several government officials encountered it together, they wouldn't fare well.

It seems that the lady selling wild boar must have a powerful backer.

"No, no, I'll be honest. My husband went to the army and died on the battlefield a long time ago, leaving me and our crying babies behind. To raise the children, I was like three men on my own. Years of farming have made me stronger and bolder. I love to go up the mountain to set traps and hunt some wild game. Well, I got lucky and found a black bear that had fallen to its death. Look, its skull is broken. It probably fell while climbing a tree. How about it? Do you want it? This bear just died recently, so we have to keep it fresh."
