"Knock knock knock..."

As they spoke, the sounds of the earth trembling grew stronger and stronger.

Wu Dayou looked around nervously, and finally, he spotted the source of the sound!

Two animals with black fur all over their bodies were running quickly along the mountain road. Wu Dayou was wondering what they were when they were already in front of him!

“Ahhh…”

Two large black bears stood in front of Shen Xuan and Wu Dayou, and roared to the sky. Shen Xuan, who could understand animal speech, knew that the black bears were asking him for meat.

Wu Dayou, however, knew nothing about animal language and only felt that the big black bear was extremely ferocious, as if it wanted to eat people.

"Run!"

Wu Dayou tried to run away, but before he could even get going, Shen Xuan grabbed him.

"Village chief, don't rush off!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "This big black bear is my friend. Let's have a chat!"

What is that?

Is Shen Xuan's friend the big black bear?

Upon hearing this, Wu Dayou's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You...you're not kidding, are you? They...they're your friends?"

Wu Dayou shuddered and asked.

"Of course!"

Shen Xuan nodded with absolute certainty, then waved to the big black bear.

The two black bears then took two more steps forward, standing almost face-to-face with Shen Xuan and Wu Dayou.

Good heavens!

Wu Dayou didn't dare to move at all; his whole body was stiff. Even at such a close distance, he could see the eye boogers next to the big black bear's large eyes.

“Hmph…”

The two large black bears even came closer and sniffed Wu Dayou's scent.

Wu Dayou was so frightened that his legs trembled. He was afraid that the big black bear would suddenly open its mouth and eat him up if he wasn't careful.

"Village chief, what did you just say you wanted?"

Shen Xuan, feigning ignorance, asked.

"ah?"

Wu Dayou shuddered and asked in confusion.

"Are there any problems with the contracting of this hilltop?"

Shen Xuan asked seriously, "When can we get the stamp?"

"You don't even have any money..."

"Um?"

Wu Dayou was about to say that the money hadn't been paid yet, so why get a stamp?

But Shen Xuan's tone and eyes changed, and the two big black bears that were just about to let Wu Dayou go suddenly stretched their heads over again, looking at Wu Dayou seriously.

Wu Dayou swallowed back what he wanted to say!

Oh my god!

What are those two big black bears trying to do?!

"Village Chief Wu, I suggest you say it again: are you sure you really want the money back?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "I don't want to see a news report tomorrow that the village chief of Stone Village was torn to pieces by two wild bears coming down from the mountain while inspecting the village and unfortunately died!"

"If that's the case, then it's such a shame!"

hiss……

Upon hearing this, Wu Dayou's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that such a blatant threat would come from Shen Xuan's mouth.

"What...what do you mean by this?"

Looking at the smile in Shen Xuan's eyes, Wu Dayou felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

Is this still the honest, easy-to-bully bookworm Shen Xuan that I remember?

That smile, how is it any different from that of an old fox?

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just stating a possibility, you don't need to take it to heart!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand slightly and said, "Village Chief, you must have heard about wild bears eating people, right? It happened in our village a long time ago, and now, it's not impossible for it to happen again!"

"Gurgle..."

After hearing this, Wu Dayou swallowed hard, his nerves on edge. He could tell that Shen Xuan and this wild bear were very close.

No wonder Qin Zhi said there were wild bears and wolves in Shenxuan; it turns out it wasn't a lie!

This is true!

“Well… Xiao Xuan, you… you’re a college graduate, a rare talent in our village. You’re the perfect person to take over this rocky mountain!”

Wu Dayou hesitated for only a moment before immediately saying, "Fifty thousand yuan is enough for ten years. I... I'll stamp it for you right now!"

After saying that, he took out his seal and stamped it on the contract without hesitation.

"How about this...?"

Wu Dayou handed the stamped contract to Shen Xuan, and asked with a smile, even using honorifics.

"Okay, that's more like it!"

Shen Xuan took it, looked at it, nodded, and said, "You don't want the 20,000 yuan?"

"No...no more!"

Wu Dayou said with great certainty, "You are a college student from our village, an outstanding talent. It's enough for you to just take on this hill as a token gesture!"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly and put away the contract to prevent Wu Dayou from defaulting on the debt later.

"Um...nothing...I'll be going now?"

Wu Dayou glanced at Shen Xuan cautiously and asked.

"What, you think you can freeload a meal here?"

Shen Xuan countered with a question.

"No, no, I'll leave right away!"

Wu Dayou quickly waved his hand, then carefully walked towards the village.

After walking a dozen steps, seeing that Shen Xuan and the big black bear were still in the same place, he then took off running back to the village, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that Shen Xuan would change his mind and not let him go.

Wu Dayou only dared to stop when he reached the entrance of the village.

“Huff…”

Wu Dayou, panting heavily, cautiously glanced behind him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Xuan and the big black bear were not there.
