Chapter 611: Chapter 611: There is a Doctor in My Family Chapter 611: Chapter 611: There is a Doctor in My Family Shu Yu stood behind the officers, laughing, “Lucky mishap, we accidentally stumbled upon this roe deer.”
The officer raised an eyebrow, Lucky? I doubt that.
He crouched down to examine the roe deer’s wounds, which were indeed caused by arrows. The other wild pheasants and rabbits bore similar wounds, except for one that seemed to have its neck twisted from being toppled over, while the rest were shot with arrows.
The officer felt a need to reassess these two individuals.
However, the roe deer was quite fat, and the officer nodded, stood up, and said, “Indeed not bad, alright, carry all these items inside. You’ve completed today’s tasks.”
“Yes.” Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue carried the game into the manor.
The officer checked again, then brought out their ration of food for today.
Besides that, the three wild pheasants were also theirs.
Shu Yu was somewhat surprised; she had thought even one pheasant would be good.
The officer cleared his throat and explained, “Bringing back a roe deer already counts as completing today’s workload. These three pheasants are rightfully yours. Continue the hard work tomorrow, try to hunt a few more animals.”
Three black lines slid down Shu Yu’s forehead, Are you expecting us to bring back two roe deer tomorrow?
She nodded cheerfully while holding the food and three pheasants, then bid her farewell and left.
Only after leaving the manor did Fang Xiyue, with an excited expression, gaze at the pheasants and enthused, “I didn’t expect so many.”
Shu Yu lifted the pheasants she was carrying, which were quite hefty.
She said to Fang Xiyue, “Three pheasants, how about we split one and a half each?”
“No, no, no, I don’t need that much! You were the one who shot the pheasants and the roe deer. You should take two, and I’ll take one.” Fang Xiyue waved her hands in refusal, “Besides, there are only three of us in my family. Didn’t you say your family has more people? One and a half wouldn’t be enough.”
It would definitely be enough, but splitting half a pheasant between them would be troublesome.
Shu Yu thought for a moment and simply said, “How about this, I won’t split that half a pheasant with you. Instead, I’ll trade it for something else. What do you need?”
“That’s not necessary, you gave me such a big rice ball at noon already.”
“That won’t do. Today’s hunt was a combined effort from both of us. Though I shot the arrows, without you, I might not have even found the game. I’d feel uncomfortable taking more than half a pheasant,”
Shu Yu’s expression grew serious, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, she said, “Didn’t you mention that your father is severely injured and bedridden? Well, we happen to have a doctor at my home. Let him see your father, prescribe some medicine, and consider that half a pheasant as payment.”
Fang Xiyue’s footsteps halted abruptly, and she looked at Shu Yu in astonishment, “You, you said you have a doctor at your home?”
Fang Xiyue immediately grabbed her hand, “Alright, alright, let him check on my father. My father, he’s been unconscious for longer and longer periods, and I’m really afraid he won’t last much longer.”
The trade-off suggested by Shu Yu was something Fang Xiyue simply couldn’t refuse.
As long as it could cure her father, she wouldn’t mind giving all the pheasants to Shu Yu.
They had considered getting medical treatment for Father Fang before, but firstly, they had neither money nor food, and secondly… Righteous Dao Village simply didn’t have any reliable doctors.
