Cheng Yuheng used his Qinggong skills to quickly reach the camp. A group of people were gathered in the open space, making a lot of noise.

There was a gleam of curiosity in everyone's eyes, and they all came to watch this rare big black bear, and everyone was talking about it.

The gray-haired old men in the crowd were supported by their family members to come and see the black bear.

A white-haired old lady reached out her hand and gently touched the black bear's body. With a kind smile on her face, she slowly said, "Oh my, I'm an old woman of such age, but today is the first time I've seen this big black bear with my own eyes! The girl from the Yun family is really capable."

Among the crowd, an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face also laughed cheerfully. He echoed, "That's right. My life is almost coming to an end. I didn't expect to see such a rare thing before I die. I heard that this black bear is full of treasures. Its skin can be made into a warm cloak, which is very valuable. Only rich people can afford it. The meat can be eaten, and the bones can be used to make soup, which can also strengthen the body!"

"I don't know whether the Yun family sells bear meat or not. If they do, we'd like to buy some to try." An old man in fine cotton said in the crowd.

Yun Duo didn't recognize this person. He didn't look like he was from the two villages. He should be from the county or town who traveled with them.

Yun Duo could hear her little trumpet-like brother from a distance, showing off to his friends in the crowd: "Look, look, I told you my sister is the best, but you still don't believe me. Look, this is the big black bear my sister hunted. It's so big, and even brother Han Lai said it weighs more than 400 pounds. My sister is the best, better than any of your sisters!"

Yun Duo was so upset that she thought to herself: "Yun Xiaosi, you are really my brother, can you please stop bringing hatred to your sister..."

After Yun Chenxing finished speaking, others followed suit.

Yun An: "Yes, my sister Duo'er is the best. She can kill a big black bear!"

Yunxi: "My sister Duoer can grill meat, make beggar's chicken, and cook skewers. She's the best!"

The Yun family's children's happy little faces were filled with excitement and they nodded one after another.

Yun Chenxing suddenly found Yun Duo standing behind the crowd, and a very penetrating child's voice rang out in the crowd, "Sister, Brother Cheng, you are back?" There was a bit of joy and excitement in the voice.

After hearing the voice, everyone turned around and looked towards Yun Duo and Cheng Yuheng, and the crowd automatically made way for them.

The two walked in and saw the lively scene. Some brave children were stroking the big black bear excitedly, with happy smiles on their faces, while the timid children were hiding behind the adults, cautiously sticking their heads out to watch everything.

Yunhe saw Yunduo and the others coming over and greeted them warmly: "Duo'er, you're back? Everyone said that it was you two who hunted the black bear. What do you think we should do with it?"

Just as he finished speaking, before Yun Duo could reply, the crowd started to stir again, and everyone shouted, "Look over there, the others have come back, and they seem to be carrying prey. Let's go and see what they caught, could it be a black bear?"

"Everyone, please make way. Please make way." A young man from the Yun family shouted in the front.

As the people carrying the prey arrived, people made way for them. Several strong men were seen carrying two large prey and placing them next to the black bear. Behind them were four men carrying small prey on their shoulders. From a distance, it was black and they couldn't see clearly what it was. When they got closer, there was another cheer from the crowd.

"Look everyone, it's wild boars, two big ones and four small ones."

"Did they disturb the wild boar's den? They have caught all the big and small ones."

This time the crowd was more excited than seeing a blind bear, especially those families whose children went hunting. The children jumped high and cheered one after another.

Everyone was thinking that there were several wild boars, and they had agreed before they went that the spoils would be divided equally. Even if the black bear meat was not given to them, they still had so much wild boar meat.

There are two big ones and four small ones, which adds up to several hundred kilograms of meat. If divided equally among about forty people, each family can get dozens of kilograms. If they can't finish it, they can smoke it into jerky, which can also be kept as dry food on the road.

For the family who went hunting together, both adults and children were very excited to eat meat. In comparison, those who did not go were filled with regret.

Yun Chenxing walked up to Yun Duo with a crossbow on his back and said shyly, "Sister, we hunted a bunch of wild boars. This boar is particularly ferocious. Thanks to your crossbow."

Yunhe was delighted to see so many wild boars and asked, "This pig must be several hundred kilograms, right? Duoer, how do you think we should distribute it?"

"Second Grandpa, please keep the bear gall and bear paws for our family, and divide the remaining bear meat and wild boar meat equally among the people!

Let Uncle Zhao prepare the bear skins, and when we get to the big provincial capitals, we'll sell them, and then deduct Uncle Zhao's wages, and the rest will be divided equally among the people."

When Hunter Zhao heard that he could get bear meat and bear skin, he said happily, "Duo'er girl, you hunted all the bears. We are very grateful that you can share the money with us. How can you ask for wages? Leave the bear skin to me. I will prepare it well and guarantee that I can sell it for a good price."

More than 30 families followed, and everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. A bear skin can be sold for more than 100 taels of silver, which is a considerable income for these villagers. And this is just a preliminary estimate. If the fur is well preserved and not damaged, the price may be higher. This means that each of them can get at least a few taels of silver, and because two people from the Zhao hunter family went, they naturally got more money.
