A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 422 Shocking the Villagers
"Well, you've helped us out, and besides, we can't possibly eat all this meat."

In the end, the group still accepted the bear.

However, they insisted on giving them the bear bile, which has medicinal value.

Yun Jiao accepted it because she really needed it.

They were still quite excited on their way back with those two giant bears.

Yun Jiao's performance was just too cool.

Her sisters-in-law were incredibly enthusiastic towards her.

"Jiaojiao, you'd love to come visit our residential compound sometime."

"Yes, your sister-in-law is a pretty good cook. She'll make you something delicious later."

"By the way, bear meat and bear paws don't taste good if they're not prepared properly. If you want to eat well, go find Chef Zhao from the military region; he's better at preparing them."

Yun Chenxi quickly thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"No need to thank me, we should be thanking you."

When it was time to part ways, the sisters-in-law were quite reluctant to say goodbye.

Yun Jiao and her group heard barking dogs even before they reached the village.

These dogs mainly barked at the bear.

The dog's alert barking attracted the attention of the villagers, who grabbed their weapons to see what was going on.

When they saw the bear that Yun Jiao and the others had brought back, everyone's eyes widened.

"It's a bear, it's a bear."

"Those who are dead, there's nothing to fear."

"Whose young man is that? He actually brought back such a big bear! That's incredible!"

“I know that girl. She’s staying in our village. They have relatives serving in the military in this area. These two must be the young men who are soldiers.”

Everyone was talking at once, but Yun Jiao and Yun Linhai couldn't understand most of what they were saying.

Shen Yunlian and Lu Yu squeezed in and were shocked to see what Yun Jiao and the others had brought back.

Lu Yu: "My God, it's a bear."

Bears are dangerous to the people here.

Sometimes they even come to the village.

Not only are there bears, but also wolves and snow leopards.

Because the villagers here mostly raise livestock such as cattle, horses, and sheep, especially in spring, some animals that cannot find prey in the wild will turn their attention to the cattle and sheep raised by the villagers.

With their arrival, the villagers are naturally in great danger.

So almost every household here keeps a dog, and they also have weapons at home.

"You didn't bring guns?"

Some people watched for a long time and then realized they weren't carrying guns, looking on incredulously.

"How did you kill this bear?"

Having stayed here for a while, Yun Chenxi and Yun Chendong have become able to understand some of the local dialect.

Upon hearing this, he raised the broken bow and arrow in his hand.

"this."

"This is impossible!!!"

How could a bear be killed with a bow and arrow? Most importantly, the bear only had one wound.

Don't tell them it was a fatal blow.

Yun Chenxi: If you don't believe me, fine.

It's all because his sister is so capable.

Do you sell bear and antelope meat?

Someone is craving that meat.

Although they raise cattle and sheep at home, they don't eat meat whenever they want.

Raising them takes a long time, and they're raised to sell, not for personal consumption.

They would slaughter a sheep or a pig to eat during the Chinese New Year period.

Yun Chendong shook his head: "Not for sale."

Yun Chenxi smiled and said to the villagers, "I'm sorry, we plan to make this meat into jerky for my parents to take back to their hometown. It's their first time here, and they haven't eaten this kind of meat before. Their family members haven't eaten it much either."

Hearing this, the others didn't say anything more. They took their prey back to their rented place, which was next to Lu Yu's house, where an elderly couple lived.

There is only an old lady at home now.

I was utterly shocked when I saw what they brought back.

"You guys are amazing."

Yun Chenxi said modestly, "Not at all, it's all thanks to my sister."

In the old lady's eyes, this was far too modest. The little girl was only a few years old, yet she was able to help fight such a big and fierce bear.

Antelopes are easy to handle, but bears are not so easy.

To get bear bile and bear skin intact, you need to find an experienced person.

However, there are some in this village.

Through Lu Yu's introduction, they found an old hunter in the village.

He indeed dealt with the bear very quickly.

After the bear bile was removed intact, it was tied with a rope and hung up.

The bear skin is removed intact and set aside before the bear meat is cut up.

Lu Yu's family, along with the landlady, all came to help enthusiastically.

Finally, Shen Yunlian and the others took out a lot of antelope meat and cooked a large table of dishes, which everyone ate together.

Everyone worked together until very late to process the meat from the two antelopes and the bear.

When the old hunter left, he gave him some offal and a piece of meat weighing about two pounds.

Of course, Lu Yu's family and the landlady's family also sent some.

"No, please don't. This is all to thank you for helping us process the meat. Otherwise, with just a few of us in the family, we don't know how long it would take to get all this meat."

In the end, they accepted the meat.

These meats come from wild animals, so extra care must be taken to remove any fishy or gamey smell.

Shen Yunlian and the others marinated the meat overnight using the local method.

The next day, we borrowed the landlady's yard to prepare smoked meat.

Yun Chendong carried a bear paw and a piece of meat back to the military region and asked Chef Zhao to help him cook the bear paw.

Yun Jiao had nothing to do here, so she skipped and hopped with her brother to the military region.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they found a lot of people watching them.

Yun Jiao scratched her head, but she was quite familiar with this situation.

"Yun Chendong, good brother, did you guys beat up Ma Xiong yesterday?"

Yun Chendong nodded, already having a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, we heard them excitedly say that.

“Yesterday, a macaque was brought back from the family compound. Everyone was shocked. Sister-in-law Li and the others said they encountered two macaques. It was our sister who killed the macaque with an arrow. It’s like something out of a novel.”

Their gaze fell upon Yun Jiao.

"With her petite frame and docile appearance, how does she look like someone who could kill a bear?"

As they spoke, they pinched Yun Jiao's little arm.

Yun Jiao stood there obediently.

"How come you came back unharmed after encountering two bears yesterday, and even killed them? How did you guys do that? Everyone wants to know, and I want to know too."

Yun Chendong pointed at Yun Jiao.

"It was my sister who killed him."

He is a man of few words, but because of this, those who have known him for a long time know that he never lies.

Sometimes, when faced with questions that require lying, he would rather remain silent.

Because they understood, the expressions on the faces of those who were close to Yun Chendong gradually changed from stiffness at the beginning to an incredulous shock.

"No, Yun Chendong, when did you learn to joke around?"

Yun Chendong just looked at them without saying a word.

Several people: !!
"Girl, is it really you?"

Yun Jiao tilted her head and said, "I'm strong."
