Age: My Small World

Chapter 382: Change of Expression
The big tiger was not found, so the villagers arrived first.

Wang Chong was the first one leading the way, followed by a large group of people, including the entire class. In addition, the team leader Liu Jinfeng also came with several militiamen armed with rifles.

Everyone's originally serious expressions turned into amazement when they saw Yang Jun who was unharmed and the black bear on the ground.

At this moment, Wang Chong was still trying hard to boost Yang Jun's morale, exaggerating the fight several times.

"...You don't know, this black bear can break a tree with one slap. Seeing that claw about to land on my head, I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, Yang Jun took action at this time. He used only one punch to knock the black bear's claw back..."

He kept exaggerating, but no one interrupted him. They all wanted to hear how Yang Jun killed the black bear. Even though they knew he was exaggerating, the facts remained unchanged. The black bear's body was still there.

After Wang Chong finally finished speaking, Shen Tang was the first to walk up to Yang Jun and pat him on the shoulder.

"Are you okay? You're lucky, and you're quite skilled. Otherwise, anyone else would have been killed if they encountered a black bear. I solemnly warn everyone not to venture deep into the mountains or forests. If you encounter a wild beast and get bitten, no one will even know."

He calmed down several students who were ready to make a move. Moreover, if there really was a black bear, there would probably be even fewer students coming out. This was more in line with his idea that the safety of students was the most important thing.

"Student Yang Jun, is this the black bear you met here?" At this time, a militiaman with a rifle came over. Liu Jinfeng introduced him and found out that this man was the militia captain Liu Jihong of the team. He had been tracking the black bear for several days but there was no trace of it. He did not expect to encounter it by two students who had just entered the mountains.

Liu Jihong's heart was in turmoil today. If something really happened to the two students here, he would be held responsible. More importantly, he failed to complete his mission and ended up hurting people. He would have to remember that feeling of guilt for the rest of his life.

"Yes, Captain. We were planning to go for a stroll in the mountains, but we came across this big black bear chasing a pheasant. It was right in front of us in the blink of an eye."

Wang Chong answered directly for Yang Jun, and said excitedly, "It's just that this bear is unlucky to have met Yang Jun."

"We were chasing this bear. It was our mistake that caused you to encounter it. We are so sorry."

Liu Jihong was somewhat humiliated, but he was able to face up to his mistakes and correct them quickly. This is the performance of a good comrade.

"It's okay, it's just a coincidence."

Yang Jun had no intention of blaming others. Besides, preventing and controlling black bears was not an easy task, and no one could be as quick-witted as him. They could only move forward little by little to search for traces of the bears.

After a flurry of chatter, Yang Jun turned the topic to the distribution of bear meat.

"Sister Liu, since we played this in the team, why don't we move it here so that everyone can eat together? This will improve everyone's food."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they admired the young man Yang Jun even more.

In fact, if Yang Jun really wanted to take the bear away by himself, no one would say anything. His ability to fight the bear was considered superhuman by everyone, and he was regarded as the tiger-fighting hero Wu Song, who was very admirable.

But Yang Jun chose to share the bear with everyone. This spirit of selfless dedication is even more commendable. Even Liu Jinfeng looked at him a few more times, as if to say that the young man was quite good.

"But..." Yang Jun began to add.

Hearing him speak, Liu Jinfeng immediately turned her head to listen, wanting to hear his request.

Sure enough, with such a good thing coming to the village, how could this young man not want the benefit?

In the end, Yang Jun really didn't want it.

"I mean, I want to keep two bear paws. I plan to take them back to nourish my mother. You can also give me the bear gallbladder or other internal organs that are difficult to clean."

There are four bear paws, and he only needs one pair to do his duty to everyone.

Yang Jun still has this right.

"Of course, I'll cut it for you when we get back. I'll definitely not let you miss out on eating fresh meat." Liu Jihong responded with a smile.

So, a large group headed back toward the village. Under the setting sun, the sight of carrying a massive black bear back and forth silenced the barking dogs. The pheasant-catching plan had failed, but Wang Chong was even more excited. He walked over to Yang Jun and accompanied him on the journey.

The remaining two roommates also arrived, and Wang Chong was chatting animatedly.

From time to time, some girls in the class would turn around and look at Yang Jun, but unfortunately, his face was mostly expressionless.

As we arrived at the village, more and more people came to watch, and they were crowded together in three layers.

Yang Jun simply did not participate in the processing and division, and asked for leave on the pretext of a broken arm.

"How is it? Are you okay?" An unexpected person looked at him and said with some concern and some strangeness.

Yang Jun didn't expect squad leader Xu Yan to talk to him, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's nothing, I just used up too much energy. Just drink more water."

Xu Yan silently raised her thumb.

"You are a good person. I hope you don't mind if I offended you in the past."

Seeing another side of Yang Jun this time made Xu Yan realize that Yang Jun was the kind of person who looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside, so she should at least give him a good face.

"It's okay, it's okay. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have thought it was a big deal." Yang Jun muttered.

"what?"

"I mean, thank you for your concern, monitor."

"You're welcome. Go and have some rest early. I won't disturb you anymore." Xu Yan left without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the temporary dormitory.

The place was deserted because everyone had gone to watch the bear meat being cut up.

Yang Jun glanced at the door and found no sign of anyone coming from a distance, so he hurried back to the house and entered the small world.

"Thank goodness for the spiritual water, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."

He touched his arm, which was already covered with scars, and grimaced.

That was caused by a black bear scratch. How could he not be injured?

After applying the spiritual water to his arms and covering them with long-sleeved clothes, he left the small world.

The reason he dressed like this was naturally because he wanted to hide his wound.

Healing too quickly is not a good thing. After all, if everyone saw him recover as before from a serious injury the next day, it would be considered unscrupulous.

Not long after he came out, Wang Chong came back with two roommates.

"Yang Jun, look what this is."

The three of them were holding two leather-wrapped objects, and they knew what was inside at a glance.

After Wang Chong opened it, he found that it was indeed two bear paws, black in color and looked very textured. He wondered how it would taste when braised.
