The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 486: Killed a bear with bare hands

“Yue’er, you’re really stupid.” Xiao Yishan praised her sincerely.

Su Qingyue’s face stiffened when she heard it. If Chuan said that, she would have beaten him into a fat pig head. When her mature and stable second brother said it, she really felt, “Second brother, I can’t bear such heavy praise. I’ve already told you not to call me stupid anymore.” She really wanted to kill him!

He reached out to grab her delicate hand, “Yue’er, I think even calling you smart isn’t enough to describe you, so I used that special word you mentioned.”

Second brother’s palm was large and thick. His rough cocoons scraped the back of her hand as he held it, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand, “Second brother, you promised not to say that before…”

Her withdrawal made him feel somewhat dejected, “Alright. But in my heart, you are the smartest.”

Yes, she was smart, smart enough to move stones and hurt herself several times, “Thank you, second brother.” She tried to carry the big basket into the yard, “I don’t want anyone to know that I bought so many pig offal. There are occasional passersby outside the fence in the front yard, but the backyard faces the mountain, and no one can see it, so let’s wash the pig offal in the backyard. This big basket requires a lot of water, I may not be able to cope alone, second brother, help me wash it while I fetch water.”

He took the big basket, and easily lifted it with just one hand, weighing over a hundred jin. It seemed that the weight was not a big deal for him at all.

Su Qingyue couldn’t help feeling impressed by his strength. It would take all her strength to lift and move such a weight.

Earlier, they had bought a large foot basin specifically for crushing bayberries. She brought the basin, scissors, and other utensils for washing pig intestines, as well as a desk to the backyard. When she wanted to go back to the kitchen to fetch water, she found out that the second brother had already brought the big water tank from the kitchen.

She couldn’t help but be stunned.

To know, the Xiao Family’s men had a big appetite and were very large. Their water buckets and jars were much larger than those of ordinary families.

The jar was filled with water, and the second brother had actually carried it with his bare hands. It didn’t seem to be straining him at all.

Moreover, his leg was still injured.

She couldn’t help but wonder, just how strong was her second brother?

The sturdy and powerful arms encircling the water jar seemed even harder than iron. With this strength, he could probably kill someone more easily than she, an assassin, could.

It seemed that the real dangerous person in the family was not her, but the second brother.

There was a good reason for eating so much.

Xiao Yishan put the water jar next to the basket filled with pig offal and saw his wife’s startled eyes. He gave a simple and honest smile, “I was going to fetch water in a bucket, but I thought one jar of water might not be enough to wash so much offal, so I just brought the water jar here.”

Her gaze fell on his sturdy left leg, with bamboo pieces still clamped on it, “Carrying such a heavy jar, is your leg alright?”

“Don’t worry, Yue’er, the weight of this jar is nothing to me. I’ve tried my best to put pressure on my right foot, so as not to burden the injured left leg.”

She couldn’t help but be curious, “So what would be considered heavy for you?”

“I once killed an adult male bear with my bare hands.” He recalled the past with a somewhat stiff face, “However…” He unconsciously touched the scratch scar on his left cheek.

Although he didn’t finish his sentence, Qingyue understood that during that time, his left face had also been destroyed.

“Killing a bear with bare hands…” she was shocked, “Second brother, you must have incredible strength!”
