More than twenty soldiers immediately loaded their guns with bullets, dispersed, and moved carefully and cautiously in the direction where the bloody smell came from.

Before they had walked too far, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Xie Beichen was standing against the light, holding a bloody dagger in his hand, standing beside the black bear that fell to the ground. He was breathing slightly and suddenly looked up when he heard the noise over here.

The murderous aura in his eyes was as sharp as a blade, which frightened Wang Jianguo, who was walking in front. If he had not reacted quickly, the wooden barrel in his hand would have fallen to the ground without his grasp.

"Beichen!"

Before Wang Jianguo could respond, Ruan Yu beside him had already pounced towards Xie Beichen like a young swallow returning to its nest.

Xie Beichen, who was hugged in public, had already thrown away the dagger in his hand when Ruan Yu pounced on him. He raised his bloody hands helplessly, fearing that the blood would stain Ruan Yu's body.

"It's okay, baby, don't be afraid."

Perhaps because he felt that such simple words of comfort were too ineffective, Xie Beichen finally lowered his arms and gave Ruan Yu a hug that gave her a sense of security.

Seeing that Xie Beichen was fine, Wang Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. While instructing his companions around him to put down the wooden bins in their hands, he walked over to look at the blind bear that had stopped breathing on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk tsk, thank you, this is great!"

Wang Jianguo walked to the black bear's head, reached out and touched its skull, and couldn't help but gasp. The broken skull was the real cause of death of the black bear.

The method used to kill the bear was almost exactly the same as when Xie Beichen usually hunted wild boars...

This comrade of his, the limit of his power...

Where exactly?

Anyway, this crisis was overcome without any major problems.

In fact, thanks to Xie Beichen's strength, he obtained such a rich trophy.

Xie Beichen did not keep the black bear to himself, but only took away two bear paws and the bear skin. The remaining meat was sent to the reservoir construction site as a snack for the members who were going to work tomorrow.

No one raised any objection to Xie Beichen's request.

Firstly, it was Xie Beichen who killed the black bear and saved the educated youths from Youyi Village. If it weren't for Xie Beichen's action, given the brutality of the blind bear, the three educated youths who screamed earlier would have died in the bear's mouth.

Secondly, and more importantly, it’s because I don’t dare.

A warrior who can fight against a blind bear alone...

Who dares to say no to him?

When Xie Beichen came back with the spoils, Ruan Yu was already sitting on the threshold of the main hall door, holding Xiaobai and waiting for him.

She was still wearing the same clothes she had just worn in the mountains. The dried blood stains on her body made her look even more fragile and helpless.

Xie Beichen, who had just entered the room, sped up almost immediately and came in front of Ruan Yu.

"Why don't you go take a shower?"

Xie Beichen bent down, picked up Ruan Yu as if she were a child, and walked towards the house together.

"Were you just following us from the tree all along?"

Ruan Yu put her arms around Xie Beichen's waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat. Her originally panic-stricken emotions gradually calmed down.

"Yeah." Xie Beichen did not deny it. He nodded and answered Ruan Yu's doubts in a low voice: "In the army, for tracking and investigation, we naturally have some extraordinary means and skills.

You are traveling with Sister Guiqin and the others. It is not appropriate for a grown man like me to go with you.

So, I chose to follow you in the tree."

It was originally a very safe arrangement, but because the blind bear below was hiding in a tree hole, it became a blind spot in Xie Beichen's vision when he was observing from the tree.

By the time he sensed something was wrong, the female educated youth had already screamed, alarming the hungry black bear that had just awakened from hibernation.

"Next time, you just stay by my side." Ruan Yu muttered softly, and her arms around Xie Beichen's waist became tighter.

"it is good."

Xie Beichen nodded and did not reject Ruan Yu's request: "I will accompany you from now on."

He knew that his little girl was really scared this time.

It wasn't entirely because of the encounter with the blind bear, but more because of her worry for him. He could feel that the little girl was holding on to his sleeve almost the entire time they were going down the mountain.

This rare dependence and timidity were emotions that the little girl in front of him had never shown since he and A Yu had been together.

Many times, words of comfort are always inferior to real actions.

Xie Beichen spent an entire night making Ruan Yu feel his presence very deeply.

……

The next day was still a rest day.

After floating up and down all night, Ruan Yu finally fell into a deep sleep when the sky turned pale.

I slept until the afternoon before waking up.

She stretched herself and just as she got dressed and went downstairs, she saw Xie Beichen walking in from the door with a bowl of millet porridge in his hand.

"Drink this bowl of porridge first, and I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Xie Beichen gently handed the porridge in his hand to Ruan Yu, and while waiting for her to take it and drink it, he smiled and told her about the dinner arrangements.

"What's delicious?"

Ruan Yu took the bowl of porridge that Xie Beichen handed to her, took a sip, and asked Xie Beichen.

"I brought back two bear paws yesterday." Xie Beichen walked to the bed by the window and tidied them up briefly before turning back to Ruan Yu and saying, "Let's roast one tonight!"

Bear paw!

This was a delicacy that was simply impossible to taste in the era when she lived.

It is a dish that I have only heard of in legends.

The country in one hand, or the universe in one hand!

So when she heard Xie Beichen talking about roasting bear paws, she immediately became interested.

After finishing the millet porridge in his hand, he was in a very good mood and walked over to Xie Beichen, urging him impatiently, "I heard that in the past, only the emperor could eat bear paws! It is also a dish in the Manchu-Han banquet!

Come on, let’s get ready now!

I have never even seen what a bear paw looks like, let alone eaten it. This time I can finally see it for myself!"

"Okay." Xie Beichen lowered his head, looked at Ruan Yu beside him with a doting face, and breathed a sigh of relief quietly without making any sound.

It seems that the little girl has recovered from the shock of yesterday's incident.

He could finally see his Ayu again, looking up at him happily.

very nice.
