Chapter 602: Chapter 602: The Despised Shu Yu Chapter 602: Chapter 602: The Despised Shu Yu The letter was written by Dahu, and it was his first time writing one, so he felt an inexplicable tension, his small body ramrod straight.
Shu Yu sat beside him, urging him to relax while instructing him on what to write.
“You can say that everyone has arrived and has met me. There’s no need to write about the exile; everyone already knows about that. Also, tell Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle that Father has found carpentry work and taken on a big order. Mother and Sister have started to set up a stall to sell food, so our livelihood is not a problem. You can also write about the local customs and climate here. It’s your first time traveling so far, and any interesting experiences you’ve encountered can be written about.”
Gradually, Dahu relaxed, and as he recalled the things he had seen on the road, he suddenly felt he had much to say. The more he wrote, the smoother it became, and the more he wrote.
He even wrote a separate letter to Master Wen after finishing the family letter.
Master Wen had said that traveling thousands of miles can be more enlightening than reading thousands of books.
Although they were always on the move, they did not travel quickly and passed through many towns, meeting many people. For Dahu, it was an extraordinary journey. He noted all these observations down, wanting to send them to his former teacher and his schoolmates to read.
In the end, Shu Yu asked Dahu to inquire how the shop was doing, whether the flowers Daniu had planted had borne fruit, and about the well-being of everyone at home.
Ultimately, what was thought to be a simple family letter turned into a thick stack.
The old lady’s brow twitched when she saw it; Dahu could read fast, but Dabao… could he recognize so many characters? Wouldn’t this stress him to death?
As the old lady pondered this, she could already foresee Dabao’s exasperated expression, almost wanting to tear up the letter.
Who would have thought that from such a distance, Yu could still get the best of Dabao.
Once the letter was completed, Shu Yu sealed it and handed it to Zhao Xi, asking for his help to mail it.
In those days, it was easy for a letter to get lost or take months to reach its destination. However, Meng Yunzheng likely had a special way to ensure the safe delivery of the letter to Jiangyuan County.
As expected, Zhao Xi took the letter and left without a word.
After writing the letter, it was already late, and Shu Yu needed to wake up early the next day to work. The old lady promptly urged her to bathe and go to bed.
The next day, Shu Yu got up half an hour late and arrived at the manor around 5 a.m to 7 a.m. The sky was completely bright by then.
There was already a small team of people in the manor, looking dressed and prepared for a mountain hunt.
The group was small, but all seemed to be tall and strong.
Therefore, when Shu Yu, young and a female, entered, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
They looked at her curiously, some even with undisguised brazenness.
Shu Yu glanced at one of the men, and soon, an officer stepped forward, addressing everyone, “First, collect your tools, and then there’s a matter to discuss.”
The crowd skillfully picked out their hunting equipment, and then they saw the officer pointing at Shu Yu, “This Lady Lu will also join the mountain hunts from now on. Take a look, which team can take her.”
Just like tilling new land, the criminals assigned to hunting were also divided into several teams.
The number of people in a team varied, with at least three and up to seven or eight.
Of course, the more members a team had, the more game they could potentially catch.
After the officer’s words, everyone’s gaze fell on Shu Yu, and then they all frowned, clearly showing disdain for her, unwilling to have her join their movement.
