Mo Lan pulled out the crossbow bolt and stuck it into the hidden buckle on her boot. As for the crossbow, she had already thrown it into the mandala.
The teenagers were experiencing something like this for the first time and had no time to think about anything else.
"Find some sturdy tree branches, cut some vines and tie them together. You're responsible for carrying them back to the village," Mo Lan ordered, looking at the stunned teenagers.
"Yes, boss."
Under Mo Lan's supervision and guidance, the group set up a makeshift stretcher, tied up the black bear, and quickly left.
The commotion just now was quite loud, and the smell of blood will surely attract other prey.
After walking quickly for a while, Mo Lan told them to slow down. She couldn't help but laugh to herself. She had originally wanted to hunt a sika deer, but she ended up bringing back a bear!
As soon as they returned to the village, news of their hunt for the black bear spread throughout the entire village, attracting everyone, young and old, to come and watch.
"Give me four bear paws, we'll eat them together after they're cooked. As for the rest, you can do as you please. By the way, if you need to prepare it, it would be best to call Uncle Lin. I've heard that bear liver and bile are rare and valuable medicines. He's a doctor, so he should know how to process them."
Mo Lan took out a dagger, cut off the bear paw, and carried it away. As for the bear skin and bear meat, she wasn't very interested.
"Don't worry, boss. We'll go and inform Uncle Lin right away. Leave everything usable behind, and we can all share the rest of the meat." Song Jian nodded and beckoned the onlookers to inform Uncle Lin.
"Song Jian, you guys are really something, you even dared to provoke a bear."
"That's right, many experienced hunters wouldn't dare to mess with it. You guys are really brave. I've heard that these bears are very intelligent. How did you manage to take it down?"
Seeing such a large black bear, the villagers were extremely curious. Seeing Xiong Da and the others slumped to the side, exhausted, they quickly offered them water and towels.
Xiong Da and the others took a breath and said with a grin, "Today was very dangerous. We owe it all to our leader. If it weren't for her, none of us could have taken it down."
“Big Bear is right. Boss deserves a lot of credit for taking down the black bear.” Song Jian winked at Da Peng and the others, his tone even more determined.
"Young Miss?"
"I see. No wonder. Our young lady is no ordinary person. What is a bear to her?"
"That's right, no matter how fierce the wild beast is, it's no match for our young lady."
Hearing Song Jian's explanation, everyone laughed and flattered her, accepting it as a matter of course. After all, in their eyes, the young lady could lead forty people to break through White Tiger Cliff. Compared to five or six hundred people, a bear was a piece of cake.
When Mo Lan is mentioned, people either praise her or flatter her.
This one-sided rhetoric made Xiong Yanyan, who was standing in the crowd, very uncomfortable. She pursed her lips, her face full of complicated emotions.
Mo Lan carried several bear paws back into the yard. "Grandma, please prepare these. We'll have bear paws for dinner tonight."
"Bear paw? My dear lady, where did you get this?"
Because she had to take care of the wounded, after finishing her chores in the yard, Grandma Jiang sat on the porch in the front yard with her sewing basket and did embroidery.
Upon seeing the bloody bear paw, his face turned pale.
“We hunted it. I went for a walk in the mountains with Xiong Da and a few others today, and we just happened to run into it, so we worked together to kill it.”
Although Mo Lan spoke casually, Hua Fengyu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but frown.
"Lan'er, the terrain in the heart of the mountains is complex and there are many wild animals. We must not venture in rashly."
