Chapter 42 Ten Thousand Silver

hours after death. There were no hemorrhages in his conjunctival membrane, nor any bruising. His pupils also fell within the normal range for natural death.An Xue Tang then checked the person's mouth,...An Xuetang looked at his dumbfounded expression and chuckled, "How is it This is a good thing, right"

Dong Ge'er was still a little dazed. After a moment, he suddenly raised his hand to rub his eyes, closing and opening them repeatedly.

After repeating this for a while, he finally dared to believe that the dead bear corpse lying on the ground...was real!

He had lived for over a decade and never seen a bear up close, let alone a dead one.

This is simply... unbelievable!

"How about that Now do you believe me when I say good things are really good"

Dong'er nodded slowly, "Well, this...this thing is really great."

Bear paw is a delicacy, rare to come by!

Wouldn't this bear change An Xue Tang's life for the better

In these days, who can hunt a bear

Bear paws, if sent to wealthy families, would certainly be very profitable.

An Xuetang walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "Alright, no time to daydream now, we need to deal with this bear quickly. It's been dead for a while."

If left untreated, it will probably be ruined.

"You... where did you get that bear, sister"

"Found it."

"What," Dong Ge scoffed, "You think I'm stupid"

She actually said she picked up a bear

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "It's really found, don't believe me, ask your brother-in-law."

Mo Yunjing, who had just arrived behind them, let out a faint "um".

Seeing Dong'er like this, his mood improved even more.

No matter what place Dong Ge holds in Tangtang's heart, only he knows her secret.

Thinking of this, Mo Yunjing's mood immediately improved a lot.

"Dongge'er stared at An Xue Tang again and asked, 'How did you escape from the big worm's mouth yesterday'"

“The big bug didn’t want to eat me at all, the bear told me that. Yesterday, the big bug and the bear fought, and the bear was killed by the big bug. But the big bug was also injured because of it. That’s why it went out to seek help.”

"Help" Dong'er felt like his intelligence wasn't keeping up. He stared straight at An Xuetang, "Sister means... you saved Dachu yesterday"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "That's right, I applied hemostatic herbs to its legs. It was this bear that asked me to pick them, so it's a reward for me."

"..."

Dong Ge'er couldn't describe his current mood at all.

An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing didn't give him much time to digest this.

"Hurry up, hurry up." An Xue Tang dragged the bear to the front yard and started bossing Dong Ge'er around, "Let's work together to process this bear, then sell it and split the profits."

"I don't want it," Dongge said solemnly, "I'm your brother, helping you is what I should do. This bear has nothing to do with me, so I don't want it."

“...”

An Xuetang sighed, "Fine, fine. If you don't want to, then don't."

She'll just give it to you anyway.

This bear is too much for her to handle alone, it's better to ask Dong Ge for help and split the silver afterwards. That way, everyone benefits.

Mo Yunjing actually wanted to help the two people with their work, but An Xuetang felt very sorry for him and refused to let him do anything.

And Mo Yunjing was worried that An Xuetang was too tired, after all, she had taken care of him for a long time last night, he was afraid she would be tired.

So, he sat aside and instructed, leaving almost everything to Dong'er. An Xuetang boiled water and occasionally personally sliced things up with a knife.

Dong Geer finally knew what Mo Yun Jing meant when he said that at dinner.

Originally, it meant to let him eat more so he would have the energy to work!

However, he still felt sorry for An Xue Tang, so he didn't say anything. Anyway, he wouldn't want to trouble An Xue Tang.

The most valuable parts of a bear are its paws, fur, and gallbladders.

Bear bile can be used as medicine. Although it has no practical effect on dissolving the poison on Mo Yunjing's body, it can still regulate his body.

Thus, An Xuetang kept the bear bile and, with Dong'er, took the valuable bear paws into town to sell them.

Before leaving, Mo Yunjing難得 uttered a sentence of admonition, "Tangtang must take good care of herself and mustn't do impulsive things anymore."

An Xue Tang knew he was worried about her, she patted his shoulder, “Ah Jing rest assured, I won’t let anything happen to me.”

"Hmm."

At this moment, Dong Ge suddenly spoke with conviction, "Brother-in-law, please rest assured, from now on, I will definitely not let my sister be in danger."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. This brother wasn't mistaken. She was grateful that the original owner had once saved his life.

"Hurry up and get back."

"Okay, Ah Jing also has to take care of herself."

After they had given each other their final instructions, An Xue Tang and Dong Ge'er left.

Today they hired Tie Zhu's ox cart, Tie Zhu is a tight-lipped man. When he saw the bear, he was also very surprised, but An Xue Tang said that this matter could not be known to the villagers, and he closed his mouth tightly.

Three people entered the city. Dong Ge found his former classmate, whose family was somewhat well-off.

Brother Dong asked someone to inquire whether anyone of substantial means wanted this bear paw.

Everything on a bear is rare and highly sought after by wealthy families.

It just so happened that Dong Ge'er's schoolmate happened to meet a young master from the capital.

That young master liked rare things. Hearing that someone was selling bear paws, he excitedly said he had to have them without even asking the price.

During the time she waited for this young master, An Xue Tang kept thinking about what price she should offer.

"Brother Dong, how much should we say"

Dong'er shook his head. "I don't know either."

Brother Dong said to his classmates: "My father said that this thing is almost priceless in the capital, so no matter how much you offer, this young master from the capital will definitely agree."

"!!!"

An Xue Tang and Dong Ge'er exchanged a glance. So, this meant she could give this young master a hard time right now

Brother Dong was an honest person. After some thought, he pursed his lips and said, "Sister, you shouldn't set such a high price. What if the price is beyond what that young master can afford He might have bad intentions."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, Dong'er did make some sense.

If she sets the price too high and angers that young master, what if he suddenly decides to take it from her by unfair means

That young master is wealthy and influential. If he sets his mind to taking her by force, it could get her into serious trouble.

And An Xuetang was someone who didn't like to cause trouble.

So An Xuetang thought about it, she nodded in agreement with Dong Ge'er's words, "Dong Ge'er, I think what you said makes sense, so I'll just set a reasonable price and not be greedy."

"Dongge let out a hum, "Then sister, have you figured out what price you want to charge"

An Xuetang: "Ten thousand taels of silver."hen pinched herself hard in the thigh, muttering to herself, "Wake up."And at this moment, Mo Junyi by An Xuetang's bedside exclaimed in alarm, "Uncle, quickly look, mother is pinching her own leg."Fe...
