Chapter 177 She must have heard it wrong!
Sanbao said, "The bears went deep into the mountains. I told them that they had been discovered. If they stayed, they would be skinned and their gallbladders would be taken away. So they left."
Dabao and the others followed.
Dabao added, "Those bears must have been attracted to the Extreme Yin Land and wanted to cultivate here, right? In the past, corpse dogs cultivated human faces and became conscious here. Now that the Extreme Yin Land has been abandoned, they probably won't stay even if you want them to."
After all, this place is located in the outer shallow mountains and is easily trapped by hunters.
"They got injured while helping us fight the robbers, but it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Sanbao said.
Tang Dajiang was holding little Yuanbao and couldn't help laughing when he heard the children's conversation.
"No, bears have thick skin and amazing recovery ability. They will recover soon. It's better for them to leave. If they stay here, it will be a big danger to the villagers nearby. They only listen to Xiao Yuanbao. If Xiao Yuanbao is not around, they will still eat people. If they leave, they will be safe, and so will we."
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's better for everyone if we leave.
When they returned to the village, it was already midnight and most people had gone to bed.
Few people lit lights, and the village seemed particularly quiet.
Cai was waiting at the gate alone, holding a lantern.
After waiting for a long time, I started to feel sleepy and the silence around me was terrifying.
There seemed to be all kinds of light and playful sounds, some like human footsteps, and some like animals.
Cai listened carefully, and found that it was gone again.
Cai became nervous subconsciously.
She looked outside, but saw nothing. The moonlight was bright tonight, and Xiao Yuanbao's house was on a hillside, on high ground, so she could see the main road directly.
I saw a line of patrol teams, four or five militiamen, fully armed, patrolling the village.
With the precedent of the last robbery, the people of Tangjia Village now have militia patrolling the village at night, starting at night and disbanding at dawn.
Cai breathed a sigh of relief.
With militia patrolling, nothing will go wrong.
She must have heard it wrong!
After a while, Tang Dajiang came back with a few children.
Cai didn't think much about it.

The next day, early in the morning, Wang Tiangou came over with a school bag on his back.
Dabao and his friends were already prepared. They had packed everything they needed to. They were going to stay in the school. Cai had also prepared blankets for them. They were new blankets that she had bought. They couldn't just take the blanket from home and then not be able to sleep when they got home.
The two older brothers got up early to review their lessons, but Sanbao had already woken up and was reluctant to leave his eldest and second brothers.
Even before we said goodbye, my eyes were already red.
We have been in Tangjia Village for many years and the brothers have never been separated.
Now I have to live in the school dormitory suddenly, so I have to lose some money.
Cai got up early in the morning and steamed meat buns and cooked porridge for them, adding salted dried radish and shredded pork, which was delicious.
When the buns came out of the steamer, the fragrance woke up the little gluttonous worm and little ingot.
The whole family was waiting for her to get up.
As soon as the little kid gets up, he starts eating.
After dinner, Sanbao drove the two big horses and harnessed them to the carriage.
There are many people and things today, so we need two horses.
"Let's go! Send big brother and second brother to school!"
Wang Tiangou didn't consider himself an outsider at all. He was the first to get on the carriage after Xiao Yuanbao. He quietly took the best seat next to Xiao Yuanbao and sat down.
Sanbao and Cai were outside catching the car, otherwise, he would have pulled Wang Tiangou up to make room for him.
The horse-drawn carriage was fast, and on the way we met a few villagers from Tangjia Village who were going to meet up. They took two old women and a child with them and filled the carriage full. When we arrived at the town, we dropped them off, and they thanked us profusely.
After entering the town, there was an early morning market with people coming and going. The carriage moved slowly towards the direction of Zhishu School.
Cai was driving the carriage, and Sanbao was learning beside him. As he was smaller, driving two horses was still a bit stressful for him.
"Why is the road blocked ahead? Will it delay Dabao and the others from going to school?"
The further the car went, the slower it moved.
There are people everywhere.
Sanbao slid down.
"I'll go check it out, mother."
This kind of bustle and excitement is not Xiao Yuanbao's style.
The little girl heard it in the carriage and got off immediately, "Third brother, wait a minute..."
The two brothers quickly plunged into the crowd to see the excitement.
Dabao and Erbao were worried, so they went to look after their younger sister since they were waiting in the car anyway.
Sanbao pulled his sister in, and as they squeezed in, more and more people gathered.
The people inside were talking about it, "Wow, it's the imperial edict..."
"Where is the imperial edict? It's the county edict. Do you have any idea? How can the imperial edict be posted in our town?"
"It doesn't make much difference. It's the imperial court's order anyway..."
Xiao Yuanbao and his sister have squeezed in the innermost.
Unfortunately, the two younger ones are blind. They are ranked high on the county list, but they can barely recognize a single word.
"Third brother, what's written on the list?"
As soon as the little kid asked a question, Sanbao didn't need to answer, as many adults began to enthusiastically help answer it.
"Hey, kid, this is the recruitment list. Our Great Yan Kingdom is recruiting all kinds of special and rare talents! The National Master Hall is recruiting. Anyone with extraordinary abilities can enter the National Master Hall after passing the assessment..."
"What is the National Master Hall?" The little kid blinked his big, bright eyes.
"It is the most powerful place in our Great Yan State. Only people with great abilities can enter. It protects the people of our Great Yan State..."
Little Yuanbao was full of yearning, "Wow..."
The crowd began to discuss again, "There aren't many talented people in our town, and I haven't heard of any extraordinary people!"
"Nonsense? How come there is no such thing? Do you know that a small ingot appeared in Tangjia Village?"
"I heard that Tangjia Village was robbed a few days ago. Several hundred bandits wanted to massacre the whole village. It was this little Yuanbao who borrowed thousands of ghost soldiers and killed all the bandits without leaving a single one behind. This saved Tangjia Village."
"That's right. I heard that she can even bring the dead back to life. She even helped Mr. Liu's family catch a hanged ghost. She is the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. She is so awesome! She is definitely worthy of being admitted to the Imperial Master Hall."
"He's just very young, only about three or four years old, a baby..."
When Xiao Yuanbao heard someone praising her, she became proud.
He patted his chest and said, "Baby is a little ingot."
At this point, everyone's eyes lit up, "Oh, you are Xiao Yuanbao!"
"Shouldn't the little ingot be a three-headed and six-armed creature? Why is it a little lucky doll?"
"Yes, it seems to be her. She is round, has big eyes, and two little braids. Yes, I have met the legendary heroine."
"Xiao Yuanbao, if you go to the National Master Hall, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and you can also bring honor to our Baili Town..."
Someone instigated.
"You all are joking. My sister is still young, and we won't feel comfortable letting her go out. What does the National Master Hall have to do with little people like us?" Dabao squeezed in, picked up his sister and left.
