It didn’t take much effort at all. Jiang Yue was expressionless when she killed the bear.
They watched as the black bear fell backward with Xue Wufu, making a loud thumping sound.
Jiang Yue calmly pried open the bear’s paws and freed Xue Wufu. She then dragged him off the bear and laid him flat on the ground.
Jiang Yue quickly checked Xue Wufu’s breathing. He was breathing well and should be fine.
At this moment, Xue Yan ran over, staggering.
“Wufu. Wufu are you okay?” He threw down his chopper and knelt in front of his fifth brother, hurriedly checking for any injuries. Seeing that he was still alive, he regained his composure, but he still had some lingering fear.
He had almost lost his fifth brother like in his previous life.
The bear claw had left quite a few wounds on his body, and they were all bleeding. Xue Yan didn’t have time to think too much about it. In his past life, a godly doctor was his best friend, and with such a best friend, he more or less knew how to treat injuries. Xue Yan immediately went to find some small thistle grass, which was a kind of wild vegetable that could stop bleeding.
Jiang Yue inwardly approved as she watched Xue Yan rub the little thistle grass he found to extract its juice, then he applied it together with the crushed leaves on the area where Xue Wufu was bleeding. This person had some medical skills.
After he stopped the bleeding, Xue Yan finally had the time to notice the blind bear lying on the ground. An arrow was impressively stuck in the blind bear’s heart.
More than half of the arrow pierced through.
Although it didn’t pierce through the bear, the bear’s heart must have been completely penetrated. Otherwise, the bear wouldn’t have died instantly and stopped breathing.
It was a fast, ruthless, and accurate move…
Jiang Yue’s behavior just now was similar to how she used to be when she faced such dangerous situations… Calm and collected.
Xue Yan slowly sat down next to his brother and looked at Jiang Yue, “Thank you,” he said. It was all thanks to her today that his brother survived.
“He’s my brother too.” Jiang Yue reminded.
Xue Yan was stunned for a moment and then said embarrassedly, “You’re right. We’re family, so there’s no need to be so formal. I won’t treat you as an outsider in the future,” Jiang Yue replied. She had also thanked him.
“Thank you.” Xue Yan nodded.
Previously, because both of them knew that there was an adult’s core in each other’s body, even though she was already a member of the family, they were actually quite polite and distant from each other.
Jiang Yue took the bow from Xue Wufu’s back and stuffed it into his hand. Then, she took out an arrow from her quiver and broke it before throwing it to a place where no one could see.
Xue Yan immediately understood that Jiang Yue wanted Wufu to think that he was the one who had beaten the bear.
The next moment, she went to pick up her sharpened wooden stick.
Just now, he had subconsciously taken the chopper, and the wooden stick had been casually thrown away.
“Don’t go hunting in the mountains anymore.” Xue Yan suddenly said.
Jiang Yue knew that he was someone who knew his limits and would not restrict her in any way. He must have his reasons for saying that, so she said, “Why?”
Xue Yan said, “Hunter Wu has been hunting in this mountain for more than twenty years, but he’s only slightly better than ordinary farmers. It’s obvious that there’s not much prey on this mountain. This bear probably came from somewhere else. It’s probably only this one time. Even if you go hunting in this mountain again, you won’t get much from it.”
He looked at the bear again, then continued, “This bear is pretty big, it can be sold for a lot of silver. With this amount of silver, no other family in the surrounding villages would be able to compare to us.”
