Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 4 - Returning home

Thank God. The bear stepped into a bigger trap, which was meant for bears and fell to the ground, growling in pain.

Liu Jichuan broke free from the trap around his leg and quickly loaded his gun.

Crashed ~ ~

Even with the trap, the bear still tried to attack Liu Jichuan. But the trap was attached to a thick metal chain, and the other end was tied to a tree. The length of the chain did not allow the bear to reach Liu Jichuan.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive gunshots were heard. Feng Yu, Dongjun, and Liu Jichuan each fired a shot. The bear was unable to dodge because of the close distance, and all three shots hit the bear on its head.

The bear fell to the ground and twitched a few times. Blood slowly flowed out and stained the snowy grounds.

Liu Jichuan quickly got up, reloaded his shotgun, and slowly approached the bear.

Bang!

The bear twitched two more times and stop moving.

Liu Jichuan leaned on a tree and reloaded his shotgun. With shaking hands, he took out his pack of Black Antelopes Cigarettes and lit one cigarette.

Feng Yu and Wen Dongjun walked over, grabbed the cigarette pack, and lit one cigarette each.

“Thanks.” After smoking the cigarette, Liu Jichuan said.

“Ha ha ha, stop thanking us. Brother Chuan, we had hunted a bear, and we can definitely sell it for a lot of money!” Wen Dongjun’s eyes shined when he thought of the envious look from other villagers when they returned back to the village.

Feng Yu was speechless towards Wen Dongjun’s attitude. Feng Yu kept looking at Liu Jichuan. Liu Jichuan still had not released his griped on his loaded shotgun.

“Brother Chuan, Dongjun, let’s have a deal. I will buy this bear from the both of you, and in return, I will lend you my family’s fifty-five horsepower tractor for plowing and sowing. ” Feng Yu said. He had suddenly thought of this idea. This way, he was able to erase Liu Jichuan’s resentment towards Dongjun and also make some profits as start-up capital for his future investments.

He was not able to make much money using the tractor in the village, but there would be lots of buyers in the city for this bear.

Although it was not a good time for investments now, there was a fantastic opportunity coming up. Initially, he thought he would have missed this opportunity, but now, not only he was able to grasp this opportunity, his investment plan can be several years ahead of his initial schedule.

Liu Jichuan threw his shotgun on the floor and grab Feng Yu’s hand excitedly. “Really? Will your dad agree to this? ”

“If I promise my dad that I will be admitted to a prestigious high school in the city, he will definitely agree. Dongjun, how about you? You agree to this deal?”

Wen Dongjun said after thinking for a moment: “I will take that lynx, and both of you have to tell others that I am the one who hunted it. Also, I am the one who hit the bear first.”

“OK, deal. Let’s hurry and make a sled and go back to the village. This bear weight at least 100 to 150kg. It won’t be easy to bring it back to the village.” Feng Yu said. He was not interested in bragging.

Liu Jichuan rechecked the bear. The bear’s body had become cold.  It was surely dead. Liu Jichuan also picked up the lynx. Feng Yu and Wen Dongjun used tree branches and gunny sacks to make a simple sled. They will be the center of attraction when they return to the village.
