I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 15 Bear Meat
At the hour of Chou, Xie Fei suddenly woke up.

The lights in the yard outside the house were on, and Da Niu and Er Niu were sitting in the porch snoring.

Shui Huaiyu stood beside Chen Dafa, sometimes looking at the blood transfusion device, sometimes looking at the official's pale face.

Fu Yu didn't sleep. He was flipping through a medical book by the window, but perhaps because he was in a state of anxiety, he didn't read a single word.

Hearing Xie Fei getting up, Fu Yu turned around and said softly, "Miss, it's still early, nothing to do, you can go back to sleep."

Xie Fei shook his head, always feeling a chill at the back.

Fu Yu brought over a bowl of hot water and told Xie Fei that Mother Liu and the others had not slept and had been walking around the farm all night, fearing that a brown bear would pop up from somewhere.

It's just a wild beast, but it makes people panic as if they are facing a great enemy.

Suddenly, several people ran into the yard and told Da Niu and Er Niu that they found brown bear feces in the village.

Da Niu and Er Niu quickly picked up their machetes and axes and left in a hurry, while Fu Yu went to close the gate of the courtyard.

"Why can't you be at peace all day long?" Fu Yu muttered as he walked back.

Xie Fei went to check on Chen Dafa's condition, and then said to Shui Huaiyu, "Go and have a rest. Staying up late is not good for the fetus."

Shui Huaiyu's eyes were wet as she begged, "I will stay with him until he gets better."

Seeing that she couldn't fall asleep, Xie Fei signaled Fu Yu to get something to calm her nerves, so that Shui Huaiyu could at least sleep for a while.

Fu Yu was just about to go out when he suddenly heard a bang from the wooden door.

She thought it was the big bull and the second bull who had returned, and she walked forward muttering, "If you know it's a bear, you might think it's a bandit. Why are you so worried..."

thump—

The wooden door was hit hard again, and the door panel cracked from top to bottom.

Not to mention Xie Fei, even Fu Yu himself reacted.

Xie Fei rushed to the corridor and grabbed the torch. As soon as he got the torch, the wooden door broke apart with a loud bang, and then a huge monster rushed in. The burly and strong figure brought great oppression.

"Ouch——"

Fearing the flames, the giant just roared softly, and glared at Xie Fei and Fu Yu behind it through the blazing flames.

Fu Yu swallowed his saliva, slowly retreated to the corridor, and stared at the huge brown bear.

It has a large body, thick and dense fur, and every time its sturdy limbs hit the ground, it seems to cause an earthquake.

One of its eyes was covered with blood scabs, but it looked even more violent and cruel. Its other remaining eye revealed a fierce and bloodthirsty dark light, and it growled and roared at the two weak women holding torches in front of it.

Xie Fei noticed that its fur was shiny and seemed to be stained with some unspeakable things, with a terrible stench.

Hiding in the pit?

Before Xie Fei could figure it out, the brown bear suddenly jumped up. Its huge body looked even more lethal because of its open posture, and its sharp claws waved in the air in a chilling arc.

"Roar--"

The brown bear swooped over the fire, and Xie Fei shouted, "Fu Yu!"

Fu Yu forced himself to remain calm, quickly picked up the wooden barrel next to him, and poured all the tung oil in it onto the brown bear.

Xie Fei threw the torch out with force, but the brown bear slapped it down.

But tung oil can ignite fire. A little tung oil got on its paw, and when the spark caught fire, flames instantly spread along its hair.

But the brown bear had thick skin and tough flesh, and it rolled on the ground a few times to put out the flames, then pounced again, howling.

Xie Fei was not in a hurry. He picked up another bucket of tung oil and poured it over. This time the brown bear couldn't avoid it.

Seeing this thing slapping down with its claws, Xie Fei dodged flexibly and shouted towards the roof, "You want to see me get ripped open, right?"

A light laugh came from the roof. Yuan San stepped on the tiles, bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming at the brown bear's eyes. With a whoosh, the rocket shot through the brown bear's other eye again.

With tung oil helping to burn and its vision obstructed, the brown bear's entire body was ablaze with flames. It bumped and rolled around recklessly and clumsily, letting out a shrill howl that circled in the sky.

Da Niu and others finally heard the noise and hurried back, only to see the brown bear rolling in the fire.

Not only was this thing extremely powerful, but it was also able to crash into the house even when it was on fire, knocking down several doors and windows, causing fire everywhere. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky in the yard.

The men didn't say much, they plucked up their courage and attacked the brown bear together.

No matter how terrifying the brown bear was, its ferocity was greatly reduced after being burned by the flames, but it was still stabbed all over by the men.

Xie Fei stood gracefully under the eaves, carrying a bucket.

Seeing that the bear was already dying, she said to the women outside the yard who were worried, "Go get some water to put out the fire."

The women were originally panic-stricken and didn't know what to do, but after hearing Xie Fei's instructions, they hurried to fetch water.

The fire in the yard was not big and was quickly put out.

The brown bear's fur was burnt cleanly, and its skin was also charred, emitting a faint meaty aroma.

At least several hundred kilograms of bear meat were obtained.

After daybreak, Mother Liu asked people to send the leopard to the steward first, and then deal with the bear.

At this time, Chen Dafa also opened his eyes.

He seemed to have not expected that he was still alive. He first looked at Shui Huaiyu affectionately for a long time, then he was overwhelmed with sadness and asked his wife with his mouth: Are you dead too?

Shui Huaiyu was so happy that she cried and was speechless. Mother Liu was equally excited and whispered that it was all thanks to Xiaoniang Xie and she should thank her well in the future.

Chen Dafa's mind was still unclear and he couldn't remember who "Xie Xiaoniang" was for a moment.

He was so exhausted that he fell asleep again after a while.

Downstream of the stream outside the village, Xie Fei sat alone on a rock, watching a group of men and women working together to cut open a bear.

The women boiled some hot water and cleaned the dirt on the bear's surface first, then pulled out the fine hair that had not been burned clean.

The men came to chop off the bear's head and paws, while happily discussing what to do with the bear.

The rare and huge brown bear weighed at least 700 to 800 kilograms including bones and meat. The villagers ate it with their stomachs open, but could not finish it in a short time.

It's not winter yet, so bear meat cannot be stored and the excess must be sold.

Bear heads and bear paws are the favorites of some wealthy families, but it’s a pity to waste the bear skin, which is worth a fortune.

Xie Fei listened to their discussion quietly, and was also infected by this simple and sincere happiness. He felt that the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.

As Daniu's wife was talking, she asked Xie Fei loudly, "Xie Xiaoniang, tell me, what should we do?"

The others also looked at Xie Fei, with less distance and more respect than before.

Xie Fei said calmly: "Just do as you said, eat some and sell some, very good."

Another aunt said with a smile: "When the meat is sold, we will give you a share of the money. And everyone should thank you for what happened to Chen Zhuangtou."

Xie Fei ignored the latter part and only asked, "How do you plan to eat this bear meat?"

The aunt asked suspiciously, "How do we eat it? Besides cooking it, what else can we do?"

Add some salt and stew the meat until it is tender. It is suitable for both young and old.

Xie Fei shook his head and said, "It would be a waste to just stew such rare game. You guys take out the meat and I'll make a bear meat feast."

Maybe it was because Xie Fei acted too approachable, saved Chen Dafa, and killed the brown bear, the people in the village no longer had their previous distance, and started to tease him when they heard this.
