Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Xiulan, I'm going to the county town now."

The next day, after breakfast, Li Yunshan put the bear skin, four bear paws, bear gallbladder, and other items on his bicycle, preparing to go to the county town.

"Go early and come back early, and be careful on the road."

Lin Xiulan stuffed a few meat buns she had made into his arms, straightened his collar, and gently gave him some instructions.

"Okay, you stay home and take good care of DouDou. By the way, is there anything you want to eat? If so, I'll go buy it."

"I don't really want to eat anything, but DouDou keeps craving that roast chicken from last time," Lin Xiulan said, shaking her head.

"Okay, I've got it." Li Yunshan nodded and pushed his bicycle out the door.

"Good morning, Brother Li!"

"Where is Brother Li going so early?"

"..."

As Li Yunshan rode his bicycle along the village road, many villagers greeted him warmly, a stark contrast to the past.

Even when Li Yunshan killed the tiger, the villagers didn't greet him with such enthusiasm.

Why?

It's all because Li Yunshan killed the tiger to rid Hongxing Forest Farm of a menace. But last night he killed the bear that had been making everyone's lives uneasy, which truly benefited Guapigou Village by protecting it from wild animals.

Furthermore, Li Yunshan generously stated last night that he would sell the bear's skin, paws, and gallbladder, and use the proceeds to pay a compensation to the deceased, as well as to donate the money to renovate the village primary school and purchase desks and chairs.

This is something everyone can benefit from, not to mention that each household also received two jin of the bear's meat. This is a real benefit and a real act of kindness.

"Yes, I'm going to the county town to sell the bear skin. I promised to donate money to rebuild the village primary school. How could I go back on my word? A man's word is his bond." Li Yunshan replied with a smile, and soon rode his bicycle away from the village.

"Ring ring, ring ring!"

The cheerful sound of bicycle bells echoed on the country dirt road. Li Yunshan rode his bicycle to the commune first, and then set off for the county town.

By the time he arrived at the Chengxi Herbal Medicine Shop in the county town, it was almost noon.

Tang Zhengfeng, the owner of the herbal medicine shop, was not there, but Manager Liu still warmly entertained Li Yunshan.

After all, Li Yunshan brought a good item last time he came – a complete tiger skin. Their herbal medicine shop bought it and resold it, making a lot of money.

Therefore, their boss also said that next time Li Yunshan comes here to sell goods, they must treat him well. As long as the quality of the goods is good, the price can be increased appropriately.

Therefore, as soon as Manager Liu saw Li Yunshan carrying a bundle of dark things in, his enthusiasm never waned.

Especially when he smelled a hint of wild animal stench in the air, Manager Liu glanced at what Li Yunshan was holding in his arms and was already guessing that it must be some good stuff.

After inviting Li Yunshan to the backyard and having him sit down, Manager Liu personally poured him a cup of hot tea.

Li Yunshan picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and immediately felt a warm sensation all over his body.

"Good tea."

"Master Li, even the best tea can't compare to what you're holding. I wonder what good stuff you have to sell this time?"

Manager Liu pointed to what Li Yunshan was holding and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Manager Liu has a good eye. This is a bear skin, and there are also four bear paws. Take a look and name your price."

Li Yunshan has never liked playing those roundabout games, so Liu's words saved him the trouble of explaining.

After he finished speaking, he handed the bearskin in his hand to Manager Liu, whose eyes twitched involuntarily.

What is that?

Bear skin?

Smelling the fishy smell in the air, Manager Liu's eyes twitched, wondering if the bear skin had just been skinned.

He placed the bundled bear skin on the table, then slowly unwrapped it, revealing a huge bear skin that was soon exposed to a strong, pungent smell.

If you look closely, you can even see traces of blood on the bear skin's fur.

"Master Li, this bear skin... was it just skinned?"

Manager Liu asked incredulously.

"Yes, this bear ran into our village a while ago and killed a villager. It managed to escape, but last night it came back and killed another villager. I killed it. You can estimate the price of this bear skin, those four bear paws, and this bear gallbladder. Give me a good price."

Li Yunshan explained.

"hiss……"

After hearing what Li Yunshan said, Manager Liu couldn't help but gasp. His eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Li Yunshan. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This Master Li is really amazing. He can kill tigers or bears."

This is something many hunters could never accomplish in their entire lives, yet he did it in a short period of time, and most importantly, it was all good deeds done to rid the people of harm.

"Master Li, our boss isn't here. Although he told me to treat you well if you come to our store to sell your goods, I need to make sure I'm sure before I can give you a definite answer. Please wait a moment."

"Alright, Manager Liu, take your time looking around, I'm not in a hurry."

Li Yunshan smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Ultimately, Manager Liu was just working for Boss Tang, and the boss had to guarantee the quality before he dared to offer a price.

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Master Li."

As he spoke, Manager Liu carefully examined the bear skin on the table.

After examining the bear skin for about ten minutes, Manager Liu picked up the four bear paws and looked at them carefully before finally glancing at the bear gallbladder.

"Master Li, this bear pelt of yours is in excellent condition, of superior quality, and larger than usual. I can price it at five thousand yuan. These four bear paws and the bear gallbladder are also well preserved, and I can price them at eight hundred yuan. That makes a total of five thousand eight hundred yuan. What do you think of this price?"

Manager Liu looked at Li Yunshan and said cautiously.

"Then let's do as you say, Manager Liu. Five thousand eight hundred yuan, deal."

Li Yunshan was quite satisfied with the price offered by Manager Liu, so he didn't haggle with him.

"Okay, five thousand eight hundred dollars, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Manager Liu turned around and went to get the money.

Soon, a thick stack of unpaid bills was handed to Li Yunshan.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Having received the money, Li Yunshan didn't linger. After putting the money away, he took his leave.

"Master Li, thank you for your patronage. If you have any good products in the future, please remember to come to our herbal medicine shop."

Manager Liu escorted Li Yunshan to the door and waved goodbye.

After leaving the herbal medicine shop in the west of the city, Li Yunshan was riding his bicycle, preparing to visit Gao Zhankui at the county hospital, when he suddenly noticed a commotion coming from the street not far ahead.

Li Yunshan slowed down and looked over. He saw two young men, one with long hair and the other with short hair, wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets and with their faces covered with black cloths, running quickly across the street.

Behind the two young men running at full speed, an old woman with a full head of silver hair was chasing after them, tears streaming down her face.

The old woman chased after him, shouting, "Stop thief! Stop thief!"

Passersby on the roadside couldn't help but turn their heads when they saw this scene. However, when they saw that the two thieves running away were holding a watermelon knife, although they were indignant, they stopped and did not move forward, for fear of provoking these two desperate criminals and getting into trouble for themselves.

"Ouch."

Just then, the old lady chasing behind suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. Her chin hit the ground, scraping a large patch of her skin, and bright red blood seeped out from the scrape.

Hearing the noise behind them, the two thieves who had snatched the items stopped and turned around.

When they saw the old lady fall to the ground in such a disheveled state, the two thieves couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

"Hehe, you old hag, if you had just behaved and not chased after me, you would have been fine. Now look what happened, you've tripped and fallen again."

"Heh heh, that old hag deserved it, why didn't you just throw her to her death?"

Seeing the two men acting so arrogantly from afar, yet no one stepped in to stop them, Li Yunshan couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey kid, don't go too far! What kind of skill is it to bully an old lady?"

The two young thieves turned around and saw that it was Li Yunshan who spoke, especially since Li Yunshan was holding a brand-new bicycle. The two thieves' eyes lit up.

"Hey kid, who the hell are you? Mind your own business! We'll stab you to death later!"

The long-haired youth at the head of the group cursed arrogantly.

He pointed the watermelon knife at Li Yunshan, exuding a bandit-like aura.

Li Yunshan, however, was not afraid at all.

Although these two thieves in front of me look fierce, are they as ferocious as the man-eating tiger in the Red Star Forest Farm? Or as ferocious as the bear we killed yesterday?

Holding a watermelon knife makes you think you're Guan Yu (a legendary general in Chinese mythology)?

He pushed his bicycle and walked towards the two thieves.

"Damn it, you dare come any closer? You're asking for it, aren't you?" The long-haired youth shouted, brandishing a watermelon knife.

"Brother Mao, should we poke a few holes in him?"

The short-haired thief standing nearby licked his dry lips and set his sights on the bicycle in Li Yunshan's hand.

If we steal that bicycle, it will be easier to escape.

But the next moment, their smiles vanished.

Because Li Yunshan was originally holding the handlebars of his bicycle and pushing it toward them.

But the next moment, Li Yunshan suddenly let go of the handlebars and instead grabbed the back seat of the bicycle, lifting the bicycle, which weighed several dozen kilograms, up.

Then, Li Yunshan moved, and surprisingly, he picked up the bicycle and rushed towards the two thieves. At the same time, he swung the bicycle in his hand and smashed it down on the most arrogant long-haired thief.

Li Yunshan was incredibly strong; he could easily lift a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds. He swung his bicycle around and smashed it at the long-haired thief with lightning speed.

With a "bang," the bicycle front wheel smashed into the face of the arrogant long-haired thief.
