Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Shu Yu Makes Something Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Shu Yu Makes Something The prey deep in the mountains is naturally more abundant than on the outskirts, not just in quantity, but the tracks are also somewhat more chaotic.
However, Fang Xiyue had plenty of experience and was meticulous. She quickly discovered traces of prey.
After they brought down an elk, everyone on-site let out a cheer.
Now, it was just past noon, and they had already bagged two big fellas.
Fang Xiyue and Shu Yu, just the two of them, didn’t need Ma Lu’s help at all. They saw one leading the attack and the other providing support, and in the blink of an eye, they had caught a piece of game.
Ma Lu felt that before this, he had underestimated them both.
The two teams worked well together, and they could even exchange experience. By the time they brought down the third medium-sized game, it was just arriving at 1 p.m.
Shu Yu planned to return. Ma Lu couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Do you all have some sort of… fixation with 1 p.m?”
He had inquired before, and the previous two days they had also directly carried their game to the Manor at 1 p.m.
Today was no different, right?
Shu Yu shook her head, “No fixation, just some family matters at home. Since we have enough prey now, it’s better to head back early.”
Fang Xiyue glanced at her, but whose family had matters? Yu was considering it for her.
Mother Fang had taken leave all of yesterday. Today she would definitely have to go to work, so only Father Fang would be at home.
Although Zhao Xi said he was mostly better now, Fang Xiyue was still worried about him. Naturally, it was better to return home earlier if possible.
Shu Yu asked Ma Lu and the others, “If you guys still want to hunt, then continue, shall you? Xiyue and I will carry the elk back. Is that alright with you?”
Ma Lu certainly had no objections; that elk was their kill alone, even the third game was taken down by both teams in partnership.
After pondering for a bit, Ma Lu consulted the others and decided not to continue hunting.
They had to hunt a tiger in three days and still needed to make some preparations.
Since they had already bagged enough game so early, it was a good opportunity to head home earlier and finish up what they could.
After the two teams consulted, they descended the mountain.
The officers on the Manor watched them with indescribable expressions, feeling that Shu Yu and her partner were probably cursed. Not only did they show up punctually at 1 p.m. daily, but now they were even influencing Ma Lu and the others to return so early.
He pondered whether the tasks he assigned them were too easy?
Shu Yu, seeing his expression, felt uneasy and thought about returning later tomorrow. Father Fang should be much better by then, right?
That day, Shu Yu also got a wild rabbit.
When she got home, Zhao Xi had not yet returned. Daya had gone to the county town, and the house suddenly felt emptier.
Today’s wild rabbit was still alive, so they could keep it for a few days before eating it. Shu Yu gave it to Sanya, asking her to take it and play with Dahu.
The two children soon cared for the rabbit in a corner of the yard, even providing it some vegetable leaves to eat.
Shu Yu busied herself with her own tasks. When Zhao Xi returned from the county town, he saw her crouched in a corner, doing something.
He quietly walked over and stood behind her, observing. He saw her fully concentrated on handling something… limestone?
Zhao Xi furrowed his brow, “What are you doing?”
Shu Yu didn’t seem surprised at all that someone was standing behind her. She continued to fiddle with the stone in her hands and said, “I’m planning to make something.”
“What thing?” Zhao Xi immediately crouched beside her and asked curiously.
