Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Shocked Hunting Team Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Shocked Hunting Team The fifth team entered the room where the game was stored and saw a roe deer, clicking their tongues twice in appreciation.
It was unclear which team had hunted it, but it looked quite plump.
After delivering their game, several people came out, fed by the officers dispensing food.
Aside from food, the fifth team also received an additional hare.
However, as the hare was divided among four people, there wasn’t much to go around.
It was getting late, and after distributing the items, the officers told them to return home.
The fifth team’s captain was about to leave but then turned around as something crossed his mind and addressed the officers, “Bailiff, when we were coming down the mountain just now, we ran into those two ladies. But they split up at the base of the mountain. I thought they had come ahead of us to deliver their game. Why haven’t we seen them?”
The bailiff gave him a strange look.
There were other teams around, and upon hearing this, someone laughed, “Maybe they didn’t catch anything and didn’t dare to come?”
“People from the fifth team said, “That shouldn’t be the case, right? I saw them leisurely picking wild vegetables, so they must have finished hunting. The basket on their backs also seemed quite heavy with probably a few pheasants or hares inside.”
“Still picking wild vegetables?” Everyone present roared with laughter.
The expression on the face of the people from the fifth team was subtly complex.
When everyone had almost stopped laughing, the bailiff finally spoke slowly, “Oh, you’re talking about the two ladies from the ninth team. They had already delivered their game a while ago.”
The number of hunting teams originally was eight, but after Shu Yu arrived, they automatically became the ninth team.
The people from the fifth team were startled, “Delivered already?”
“Yes,” the bailiff nodded. “You saw that roe deer when you came in, right? They were the ones who hunted it. Probably brought it here around the end of 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., then they went home. Apparently, they went off to pick wild vegetables, quite the diligent ones.”
The crowd present: ?????
The roe deer was hunted by those two ladies from the ninth team?!!!
How is that possible?
And they returned around the end of 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.? That early?
People looked at each other in astonishment, and the smile on the faces of the fifth team became stiff, subtly twisting with discomfort.
Everyone had seen the roe deer, but no one had thought of the two ladies.
After a long silence, the lead man of the fifth team chuckled awkwardly, “Well, that’s their luck, pretty good. Heh, heh.”
The crowd didn’t respond, but still felt it was more about their luck.
After all, it certainly wasn’t due to their strength; two delicate ladies, what strength could they have?
If they were really that skilled, they wouldn’t just hunt a roe deer but rather wild boars and wolves.
The bailiff smiled silently, letting them digest the information, before waving his hand and saying, “Alright, hurry up and go back, don’t linger here.”
The bailiff didn’t actually like these people; he knew they used to be quite afraid of Master Lan. If Master Lan were here, this morning they definitely wouldn’t have made excuses to prevent the ladies from joining the teams.
It was because they saw him as new that they dared to haggle so boldy with him.
That’s why he had intentionally let them gloat before revealing that Shu Yu and her company had hunted the roe deer.
Seeing their astounded expressions, the bailiff felt instant gratification internally.
While the atmosphere at the manor was awkward, Shu Yu who had reached home was surprised to find not only Zhao Xi driving the mule carriage but another person standing in the courtyard.
