After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

After Qin Yao dragged the black bear back to the cave, it was completely dark.

This black bear weighed about 700 kilograms. It was difficult for Qin Yao to carry it, so he made a simple stretcher out of tree branches and dragged it back.

This stretcher is very useful, Qin Yao decided to use it early tomorrow morning to pull all the prey hunted these days down the mountain.

The wounds on the black bear have a strong smell of blood, which can easily attract other beasts looking for food.

Although Qin Yao was not injured in the fight with the black bear just now, it consumed a lot of her energy. In addition, she would have to take the prey down the mountain tomorrow, so she had to conserve her energy tonight.

Throughout the night, several tentative howls of wild beasts were heard from time to time in the surrounding woods. Qin Yao did not dare to slack off at all, and raised two fires outside the cave to be on guard at all times.

When he sensed danger approaching, he immediately fired an arrow to warn him, and tried not to leave the cave as much as possible. In this way, finally a trace of orange glow appeared on the horizon.

Not daring to delay, I ate two roasted pheasants without delay, tied the black bear and other prey to the trailer, and set off down the mountain.

Instead of walking in the direction she came, she bypassed the mountains and walked directly towards the county seat of Kaiyang County.

The town near this black bear would definitely not be able to eat it, and she didn't have the energy to break it up and sell it bit by bit. It would be better to go further and go directly to the county town, where there are many rich people, so she should be able to sell it faster.

When going up the mountain, Qin Yao walked very quickly while traveling lightly.

Now carrying nearly 800 kilograms of prey, it was still going downhill, and Qin Yao couldn't go any faster.

But maybe because of the harvest, I was in a good mood, so I walked out of the forest and came to the official road without realizing it.

It was almost dusk.

There is no curfew in Sheng Kingdom, but the city gates will be closed at the end of Youshi (5-7 p.m.), prohibiting entry and exit.

Qin Yao dragged the heavy prey, hurriedly and slowly, and finally entered Kaiyang County before the city gate closed.

You need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city, which is one penny per person.

Qin Yao didn't have half a copper on her body. She sold a pheasant weighing more than four kilograms at the city gate and earned 80 pence. She paid one penny to enter the city.

When the guards at the city gate saw the black bear on her carrier, their expressions ranged from disbelief to stunned.

In less than a stick of incense, the news that someone had hunted Xiong Xiazi and brought him into the city to sell him reached the ears of two restaurant owners in the city.

But is it true? Shopkeeper Fan asked in surprise.

The waiter who went to inquire hurriedly nodded, It's absolutely true, shopkeeper, I have never seen such a big blind bear in my life. That head is bigger than my two heads. You should go quickly, I'm afraid it's too late. He was bought from the opposite door!”

When Shopkeeper Fan heard that his opponent was about to pass, he immediately rushed to the city gate without being surprised.

Qin Yao was eating at a wonton stall near the city gate.

She ordered five bowls of pork-stuffed wontons in one go. Each bowl cost eight cents and forty coins and placed them on the chopping board of the stall. She calmly sat down at the only square table, picked up the bowl, and took one mouthful after another. Have a great time.

The stall owner couldn't cook the wontons as fast as she could eat them. After eating three bowls in a row, the fourth bowl was still in the pot. The stall owner wiped the sweat from his head and said apologetically: Sir, please wait a moment, they are cooking. It’s cooking.”

As he spoke, his eyes occasionally glanced at the prey piled randomly on the roadside.

Four pheasants, two squirrels, a roe deer, and a weasel are all still alive.

On ordinary days, living prey is rare. If a hunter is holding a living prey, it means that he is definitely a hunter with superb hunting skills.

But today, these living creatures are not unusual at all, just because there is a big black bear lying next to them.

There were knife marks on the bear's belly and neck, and it was unknown who sent it to see the King of Hell.

The stall owner served the last two bowls of wontons to Qin Yao and glanced at the short knife she kept at hand.

This knife is very old, the back of the knife is rusty and uneven, the handle is wrapped in rotten rags, and there are some dark marks on it.

With just one look, the stall owner was convinced that this was blood!

Looking at the woman sitting calmly at the table, holding a bowl and eating heavily, the stall owner really couldn't imagine how she subdued the black bear.

Qin Yao noticed the stall owner's gaze, raised her eyelids from the bowl, and stared at him calmly with a pair of clear black and white eyes without a trace of impurity.

The look in his eyes didn't look like he was looking at a person, but like he was looking at something that was not a human being. Maybe it was a ghost?

A chill ran down the stall owner's spine for no apparent reason. He hurriedly lowered his eyes and turned around to pretend to be busy.

When shopkeeper Fan arrived, Qin Yao had just finished her fifth bowl of wontons, her stomach was eighty percent full, and she looked satisfied.

After traveling to the present, this was her first serious meal.

Sure enough, the world is big and the food is the biggest.

After eating a full meal, I feel like the world has become beautiful again.

Girl, did you hunt this black bear? Shopkeeper Fan asked in surprise.

He just heard from the waiter that a girl had beaten the black bear, but he still didn't believe it. Now that he saw the real person, he had to believe it.

Hearing someone ask Xiong, Qin Yao stood up with a knife, walked to her stall, and responded to the middle-aged man who asked:

It's mine, do you want it? I can make it cheaper for you by taking the whole thing away.

Shopkeeper Fan looked at Qin Yao and the black bear again, and looked around again. He didn't find any means of transportation such as donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, or ox carts, so he couldn't help but ask:

Did the girl carry all of this down the mountain alone?

Qin Yao nodded and continued to sell his prey, These living animals are still fresh. I killed this black bear last night. It's not hot today, so everything is fine.

Shopkeeper Fan asked along the way: How much do you plan to sell this black bear girl?

How much do you pay? Qin Yao asked.

As soon as she entered the city, she was attracted by the wontons. She happened to be hungry and filled her stomach first without having time to inquire about the selling price of these prey.

Shopkeeper Fan thought for a while and tentatively compared the number, Eighty taels.

Qin Yao immediately calculated in her mind. According to the highest living standards in Liujia Village, a family of five would spend about twenty taels a year. These eighty taels are equivalent to four years of good food and drink.

Well, that's almost it.

Bear meat is actually not particularly valuable. It is more expensive than pork. One kilogram can be sold for fifty or sixty taels. Her black bear weighs 700 kilograms. Taking a compromise, the meat alone should be sold for forty taels.

The main thing is the bear skin, bear bile, and bear paws, forty taels is not bad.

Okay, deal for eighty taels!

Qin Yao even kindly gave a pheasant as a headdress.

Do you want me to deliver it to you? Qin Yao asked with a smile, seeing that the shopkeeper and the waiter were helpless with the black bear carcass.

Without waiting for the two to answer, Qin Yao put the knife and bow and arrow on the bracket, lifted the entire trailer, raised her chin to Shopkeeper Fan, motioned for him to lead the way, and walked away.

Seeing the heavy Black Bear Mountain floating in front of him, Shopkeeper Fan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

This, she Shopkeeper Fan was a little incoherent.

Qin Yao shouted from the front: Let's go! She was waiting for the check.
