Chapter 610: Shu Yu's Plan to Keep a Low Profile
It was still early, only 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
However, Shu Yu didn't plan to continue venturing into the mountains. "Let's stop hunting," she said.
Fang Xiyue nodded in agreement, although she wanted to continue. After all, the more they could harvest, the better. They had been lucky today, and it would be ideal to make the most of it.
But since Shu Yu decided to stop, Fang Xiyue followed her lead. They were a...

Chapter 609: Shooting the Roe Deer
Shu Yu didn't lie. Her grandmother knew that she couldn't deliver food to her at noon, and she also thought that going up the mountain would be more tiring. Therefore, she prepared a lot of food for her.
Although Shu Yu had a good appetite, it wasn't big enough to eat three rice balls and an egg.
The old lady really overestimated her. Shu Yu didn't look like someone with a big appetite.
Shu Yu really couldn't eat it all. She wasn'...

Chapter 608: A Bountiful Harvest
"Thud!" The arrowhead landed on the grass, missing its target. However, the nearby pheasant was startled and flapped its wings in a frenzy, running forward as if it had gone mad.
Shu Yu felt a bit regretful and twisted her wrist. Indeed, the feel of the bow was different.
Fang Xiyue, who was by her side, saw that the arrow had missed slightly and worried that Shu Yu would feel discouraged. She quickly comforted her, saying, "It's okay, you...

The members of Team Five were also waiting, eager to see if the new official had the same intentions as Master Lan and whether he cared about Fang Xiyue or not.
If he didn't care, then they wouldn't be blamed.
Fang Xiyue even had a premonition that in these two days, the members of Team Five might make a move against her.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, another girl appeared in the hunting team.
And because of her, ...

Chapter 606: Her Encounter
Unexpectedly, just two days later, their house was robbed, and the thief discovered the ginseng root that Fang Xiyue's father had hidden. Fang Xiyue's father caught the thief red-handed.
The news about the ginseng root in the Fang family quickly spread, and everyone came to know about it.
Fang Xiyue's father planned to sell the ginseng quickly, but someone was faster than him. There was a wealthy household in the county who claimed that the gins...

After walking a few steps, Shu Yu suddenly realized that she didn't even know the name of the girl behind her.
She stopped and turned around.
Since they were going to cooperate for some time, it was important for them to understand each other's basic situation.
To her surprise, when she turned around, she found the girl walking behind her, occasionally glancing at the bow and arrows on her back. There was a complex expression in her eyes.

The other girl was not important; the official mainly wanted to know Shu Yu's opinion.
He turned his head to look at Shu Yu and asked, "What do you think?"
Shu Yu had no objections. Honestly, she would rather go into the mountains by herself than accompany these men who looked down on her completely.
So she nodded and said, "I'm fine with it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the official waved his hand. "A...

Therefore, the people present remained silent, some even turned their heads, hoping that they wouldn't be chosen.
The official frowned. Since he had promised Meng Yunzheng, he had to take ex...

Leaving aside the fact that Shu Yu already had loved ones, let's talk about Hou Shi and Sixth Miss. They were fortunate enough to encounter Mr. Qi, who was also exiled to the southwest, on the way.

After all, they couldn't wake up early in the morning, and they were exhausted from the day's work, so they didn't want to cook again.
