The bear was born in a strange way, and the bear was born in a strange way.

"Oh, right, black bear, black bear." Gu Liang slapped his head and cursed himself for being so stupid. How could he forget about the black bear!

So Gu Liang found an opportunity to talk to Xu Lingjun and asked Old Master Xu if he wanted to buy a bear to make a bearskin coat.

When Old Master Xu heard that it was Gu Liang who asked, he agreed without thinking. After all, people who eat people are short-sighted and people who take people are short-sighted. It's natural that you will listen to others. As he got older, his body was not very agile and there was not much new. Every time, his great-grandson Xu Lingjun listened to Gu Liang's story of Journey to the West and then told it to him again. So I thought that since Gu Liang needed help, I would help him. And this was not considered helping, I could only be a customer.

After getting the consent of Old Master Xu, Gu Liang found an excuse, saying that he had been collecting herbs in the mountains these two days and passed by a stone cave with a black bear corpse in it, which should have died not long ago. He couldn't move it by himself, and he was afraid that he would ask others to take it away. He felt that the Xu family was kind and the family style was clean, so he asked if he was willing to buy it.

The next day, Gu Liang brought the servants of the Xu family and Xu Lingjun to the road from Lanxi Village to Lianhua Town. Yesterday, Gu Liang had put the black bear corpse in the space into a stone pit in the nearby mountains, pretending that the black bear had fallen and died, and disguised it.

This section of the road is between two mountains, and there are no houses and fields, so most pedestrians will not stop here. Most of them will observe the situation and leave in a hurry. This is also in a peaceful era. If there is a little unrest, this place is also a natural place for robbery.

Gu Liang led a group of people up the mountain, over the slope, and finally came to a rock pit in a valley. After pushing aside the branches covering the pit mouth, a huge black bear was lying there quietly, with stones falling on its body due to "slipping". Others could see that it was killed by falling rocks.

The servants of the Xu Mansion praised Gu Liang for his good luck. It was a great fortune to find such a good opportunity to collect herbs in the mountains.

Xu Lingjun, who had never seen a black bear, also lay at the mouth of the pit and was very surprised. A black bear was taller than the three of them. However, he pursed his lips and said to Gu Liang: "Brother Liang, this black bear is so stupid that it can fall to death by itself. Can it really come up with a plan to steal the cassock?"

Gu Liang asked Xu Lingjun to call him Brother Liang, which was the same teaching method used for Monkey King in Journey to the West. After listening to this, Gu Liang felt a little ashamed. He couldn't tell others that this black bear pretended to be a human in the deep mountains and deceived him and his uncle. He could only say awkwardly: "Maybe this bear is mentally retarded, so it fell in. You must stay away from live bears in the future, remember!"

Xu Lingjun nodded thoughtfully, but he was probably still thinking about how a black bear, which looks so stupid, could become so smart after practicing to become a spirit?

But Gu Liang didn't care about him anymore and let him continue to climb and watch. After confirming that the black bear was dead, the servants of the Xu Mansion went down and trapped the black bear with a rope. This stone pit is more than four meters deep. Gu Liang had asked them to prepare the rope in advance, so that they could pull it up directly after tying it up.

This is an adult Asian black bear, about 300 kilograms. Two people lifted it from below, and the others pulled it from above. It took a lot of effort to pull it up. It's not that Gu Liang is making trouble for himself, but if you want to act, you have to do it in full, otherwise others won't believe it.

After pulling it up, six strong men tied up the black bear and carried it out of the mountain. The group walked on the road, so majestic. Pedestrians on the road looked sideways, and children followed them after seeing them, just like the group of little monkeys following the Monkey King after he returned to the mountain in Journey to the West.

When they were about to reach the town, someone recognized Xu Lingjun and knew that they were from the Xu Mansion, and they talked about it. They all said that the Xu Mansion was generous and actually got a bear out of the mountain. Or it could be said that the rich man Xu was worthy of having killed people on the battlefield, and even the servants were so domineering. A few people hunted a black bear and killed it. It would be better to provoke less in the future.

Gu Liang and his group did not pay attention to these. After all, Gu Liang did not want to say more, for fear of letting the cat out of the bag. Others thought that it didn't matter what others said, as long as they finished the job as soon as possible. After all, this black bear plus a few pieces of wood to carry the bear were quite tiring.

After the group returned to the Xu Mansion from the back door, Old Master Xu came out to see it in person. After all, this thing was quite rare and could not be seen many times in a lifetime. As for Old Master Xu's son, the rich man Xu, he had not been at home since the New Year, so naturally he did not appear on this occasion. There were also several women in the family hiding behind the screen, secretly

Stealing a glance at the black bear tied up.

After all, the black bear was captured by the Xu family, so Gu Liang didn't care too much and received a total of 15 taels of silver. As for how much it sold, Gu Liang didn't care too much, as long as the money could buy a cow for his family. How much the Xu family sold the bear for was up to them, after all, Gu Liang couldn't compare with their resources and vision. Lychees are more common in Lingnan than wild fruits, and they are sky-high in the capital. This bear can only be sold at this price here at Gu Liang.

After getting the cash, Gu Liang immediately returned home. Compared with the money in the hands of Mrs. Gu, there was no problem buying a cow. As for the money, Gu Liang said to the Gu family that he borrowed it from the Xu family. Mrs. Gu called the Xu family kind after hearing it, but Old Man Gu was not willing to do so. He felt that it was inappropriate to borrow money from these wealthy families, and that he would not be able to pay it back when the interest was compounded.

Gu Liang could only explain that Xu Lingjun, the young master of the Xu family, had a good relationship with him, so there was no interest. In addition, when the brothers Gu Changping and Changan heard that they could buy a cow, they immediately encouraged Gu Laohan, saying that their family should buy a cow back, and Gu Laohan finally agreed.

The next morning, a group of people from the Gu family went to the county town to buy a cow. Gu Liang woke up and found that all his family members were gone, leaving only his mother, his second aunt Li, and a few children at home. Gu Liang was confused. Why didn't he take the money he brought back to buy a cow!

Gu Liang complained a lot, and Chen had to comfort him, saying that you don't know how to pick a cow, so why go. And it was your grandparents who thought you were too young and it was too far to go to the county, so they didn't ask you.

Gu Liang didn't care whether he went or not, mainly because he wanted to buy a cow and a bullock cart at the same time.

That night, Gu Laotai brought Gu Changan back, and there was no trace of Gu Laohan and Gu Changping, nor the cow. Seeing this, Gu Liang asked where the others and the cows had gone. Old Lady Gu smiled and told Gu Liang not to rush, because buying cows was not like buying vegetables, and it was not something that could be done in a short time.

Gu Liang anxiously asked Old Lady Gu if she had bought the ox cart as well. Gu Liang was relieved until he saw Old Lady Gu nod.

It turned out that they went to the county to buy cows, but they didn't pick a suitable one. They learned that there was a village around the county town where someone was selling cows because his family needed money urgently, so they went to take a look. Who knew that the man happened to be driving a cart to help others transport goods, and he had to come back late at night, so Old Lady Gu went home early, leaving Old Man Gu and the other two there to wait for the man to come back.
