The shadows of the trees are so thick that they block out the sun.
Deep in the mountains, a wolf with a ferocious look in its eyes confronted a giant bear that was two men tall.
Blood dripped from the gray wolf's fangs, coming from the bear on the other side. After the battle between the two sides, the brown bear's body was already covered with scars.
It roared angrily and attacked the wolf.
The wolf leaped forward, slashing one claw at its eye and the other at its neck. Unfortunately, its skin was too tough, and the eye injury made it even more frantic, its roar echoing throughout the mountain.
It waved its claws like crazy, but the wolf was agile and jumped back and forth, as if it was trying to avoid it or tease it.
The gray wolf took it by surprise and ripped its chest hard, sending blood splattering everywhere.
"roar!!!"
The roar of the bear echoed through the mountain stream.
It swayed from side to side, as if it was exhausted, and collapsed to the ground with a "bang", gasping for breath, unable to get up again.
The wolf won the battle and slowly moved forward, trying to drag it away.
Unexpectedly, the brown bear pretended to be weak and waited for the wolf to approach before pouncing on it.
“Ouch!”
The gray wolf was knocked to the ground, its saliva-covered mouth opened like a huge net.
At this critical moment, a giant wolf with a larger body jumped up from behind the brown bear, stepped on it with its hind legs, and pierced the bear's neck with its long and thick fangs without hesitation, tearing off a large piece of meat!
“Roar—”
The brown bear was in pain, shaking from side to side with all its might. But the giant wolf on its back held it down tightly, its sharp claws digging into its flesh and gripping it. Every time the brown bear struggled, the wolf's claws dug deeper, causing it more pain.
When the giant wolf bit off the third piece of meat, the brown bear could no longer struggle and fell to the ground with a bang.
The gray wolf at the bottom howled.
The giant wolf jumped onto a rock nearby, lowered its eyes and watched the wolf below quietly as it crawled out from under the brown bear's body. Then, as if to vent its anger, it bit off a piece of the brown bear's flesh and chewed it hard.
The giant wolf raised its head, the sky was getting dark, and it shouted, "Awooo——"
The long and deep howl of the wolf echoed in the mountain stream, startling countless flying birds.
The giant wolf jumped off the rock and licked the blood on the gray wolf's face. The gray wolf tried to climb onto the brown bear's back, but was thrown off and dragged the brown bear down the mountain without mercy.
Two tall figures were standing in the river outside Zhuangzi. In the quiet night, the "pa pa pa" sound of water splashing was particularly obvious.
Under the bright white moonlight, it looks like a galaxy.
One of them said in a steady voice, "Hurry up and wash up. If you go home late today, your mother will be worried."
Compared to Jiang Nian's sturdy and robust figure, Sui Sui was slightly shorter and more slender. Clear river water flowed across his cheeks, and his smile was full of the lively and cheerful youth.
He complained while playing in the water, "Dad, it's not my fault. It's your fault for not helping me earlier."
"Tsk - I didn't expect that you'd still need my help after growing up. You're so useless!" Jiang Nian sneered without any mercy.
The young man was very proud and unwilling to accept the defeat, but he did not dare to curse back. If his mother was not around, his father would really be ruthless.
With a loud splash, water splashed all over the floor. Jiang Nian came ashore, picked up clean clothes and put them on. It was hot in the summer, so there was no need to rub the hair; it dried in a moment.
"Hey, Dad, wait for me!" Sui Sui hurriedly got ashore and put on some clothes casually.
His father put on his clothes and turned to leave. No matter what, he had to go with him to drag the brown bear back!
Sui Sui gritted his teeth and used all his strength to drag the big bear to the gate of the yard, but his father was nowhere to be seen.
The gatekeeper was still Zhaocai. He was dozing off when a huge wild beast suddenly appeared in front of him. He was almost scared to death, thinking that the wild beasts in the mountains had come out to eat people.
The master went out hunting from time to time, and they were already used to it. But this was the first time they had seen prey like this!
He swallowed and said, "Young Master, let me help you."
No matter what he said, he didn't know where to start helping. This beast was so ugly!
Sui Sui looked at his thin arms and legs, which were a head shorter than her, and then waved her hand, "No need for your help, I can pull it myself."
When he entered the backyard, he was sweating again.
Hearing the footsteps, his eyes rolled, he threw the brown bear away and began to breathe heavily.
"Sui Sui, are you okay?"
"It's okay." He panted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and deliberately raised his chin that was scratched by the bear.
Then he started complaining, "Mom, Dad didn't care about me so I left alone. This bear is really, really heavy!"
Jiang Yue looked at the brown bear, which was even bigger than her son, and felt a little distressed. She turned around and slapped the man on the chest, "Why didn't you help your son and came back alone? Don't you know he's still young?"
"Look at his head, it's still quite small."
Innocent Jiang Nian:...If I hadn't helped him, he wouldn't be back now!
Jiang Yue walked closer and took a look at the bleeding wounds. They didn't look serious and would heal quickly after applying some ointment.
At twelve, Sui Sui was already as tall as her. Now at fourteen, she had to look up at him. But even so, in a mother's eyes, no matter how old she was, she was still a child. And in modern times, he was still a junior high school student. She felt deeply sorry for him.
"Does it hurt? Are you tired? Mommy will make you something delicious tomorrow, okay?"
Suisui laughed heartily, enjoying his mother's concern and caring, completely ignoring his father's frown.
Jiang Yue looked after her son for a moment before going to look at the brown bear. It was about the same size as the one they had seen before, but this bear had too many scars on its body and it looked terrible.
"The fur can't be sold, and the meat isn't tasty."
Sui Sui nodded, agreeing with his mother, "It really doesn't taste good."
"We have plenty of meat at home, so we don't need this. Let's take it to the city tomorrow and sell the paws and gall. Sell the whole bear and let them pay for it themselves. We can use the fresh ones to prepare it. The meat will be given as a gift."
"Who are you selling it to?"
"Let's sell it to the Wang family. I don't know if they still want it now."
Over the past ten years, the Wang family has become a major merchant family in Yindu, and their position in Qingshui City has also been consolidated. They don't know how much wealth the maritime caravans have earned them, and it is not known whether the wealthy and powerful families are interested in this thing.
Sui Sui said cheerfully, "Then I'll ask Brother Jin Jin to go with me. With him around, Brother Wang will definitely give us a high price."
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Yes, yes, you must not be soft-hearted!"
The mother and son got together to discuss what they wanted. They looked like the same money-grubbers.
Jiang Nian shook his head and ran to the kitchen. He was the only one in the family who was hungry.
