As it turned out, ginseng was not something that could be found everywhere. Although she was being a little idealistic, she didn’t return home empty handed.

Bruiser saw that Shen Yijia was covered in more than a dozen prey of various sizes and was carrying a big bug on her shoulder.

His legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

“B-boss, there’s a bug, a massive bug.” Bruiser was so nervous that he forgot that Shen Yijia told him to stop calling her his boss.

He pointed at the bug on Shen Yijia’s shoulder.

Shen Yijia did not like his cowardly look. The bug wasn’t alive anyway. She said in disdain, “I’m not blind.”

After taking a few steps, she saw that Bruiser was still in a daze. She rolled her eyes. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go back.”

What she caught today should be quite valuable. She still had a lot of silver on her, so she should be able to buy a lot of ginseng.

Bruiser came back to his senses and his eyes lit up. “Oh my god, my boss is so fierce.” he thought.

Just as he was about to follow her, he heard a humming sound coming from Shen Yijia’s basket.

Due to his wariness of Shen Yijia, he stopped and asked, “Sister, what are you carrying in the basket?”

“This dead insect’s offspring, it’s probably just been born. Since the big insect died, the offspring probably won’t live for long, so I’m prepared to bring it home to raise it.” Shen Yijia was completely unconcerned.

Bruiser swallowed hard.

“Oh my god! You killed its mother and you still dare to keep the offspring by your side. Aren’t you afraid that it will take revenge when it grows up?” he thought.

Bruiser really wanted to kneel down in front of Shen Yijia.

On second thought, Shen Yijia had already beaten the insect to death. Why would she be afraid of its offspring? He stopped worrying.

However, he did not dare to get close to Shen Yijia and insisted on staying more than ten steps behind.

Shen Yijia did not know that he had so many thoughts in his mind. She was not the one who killed this big insect. She heard the little fellow’s humming and looked over to see the dead bug.

This little fellow was stuck under the big insect’s body. If it was discovered any later, it would probably have died.

There were bite marks on the big insect’s body. Shen Yijia guessed that it had been bitten to death by another animal. As for why it did not eat it, Shen Yijia did not know.

As they were about to leave the mountain, seeing that Shen Yijia was about to go back, Bruiser quickly stopped her. “Sister, you’ll scare people if you go back like this. You should hide it first and bring it home at night.”

Shen Yijia thought about it and felt that it made sense. Their family was already at the center of attention in the village. Although she did not care, she could not let Madam Li and the others be put in a difficult position.

The two of them found a hidden place to hide the dead bug before going down the mountain and returning home.

When they returned home, Madam Li was also shocked to see the infant. However, Brother Hao and Sister Huan were overjoyed.

Unable to resist the two of them, Madam Li finally agreed to raise it. As for Song Jingchen, he had no objections at all. He only asked Shen Yijia several times if she was injured.

The little bug was left behind to be named Tuan Zi.

Bruiser felt that he was indeed too timid. He was even worse than a child younger than him.

It was no wonder that Shen Yijia would give him a disdainful look from time to time.

The next day, Shen Yijia and Bruiser sent the prey to Full Fortune Restaurant. The fat shopkeeper’s eyes lit up when he saw the bug. Old Master Liu’s birthday banquet was going to be held in the next two days.

He immediately gave Shen Yijia a high price of 300 taels. The other prey were sold for six taels. Shen Yijia’s treasury expanded.

After dressing up, the two of them went to the arena.

Compared to the first time she came here, Shen Yijia clearly felt many gazes from the crowd sizing her up.
