Chapter 712: Chapter 712 The Fifth Team Suffered Heavy Injuries Chapter 712: Chapter 712 The Fifth Team Suffered Heavy Injuries Shu Yu was interrupted just as she was about to stretch her legs. She rubbed her neck and handed over the completed booklet she had been writing.
Wang Changdong recognized the characters, though his own handwriting was unattractive.
But Shu Yu’s handwriting was very clear, with each character small and regularly spaced.
Although he felt that the style didn’t resemble regular script or Song typeface, it didn’t prevent him from appreciating it.
After flipping through a few pages, Wang Changdong raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Did you arrange the names according to their pronunciation?”
“Yes.” Actually, it was according to the first letter of the pinyin.
“Why didn’t you use the common surnames list?”
Shu Yu chuckled. You mentioned the common surnames list, so if she forgot which page, wouldn’t she have to start reciting from the beginning? Besides, some surnames weren’t even in the common surnames list.
Wang Changdong continued to flip through it, feeling quite impressed by the clarity it provided.
However, this task was quite time-consuming.
He hadn’t flipped through much before he reached the end; the rest was blank.
Shu Yu rested for a moment before continuing.
By 5 p.m., the team from group five had returned.
Initially, they thought the team had captured some game, as they were the first to return, but as they were still at the gate, heart-wrenching screams were heard.
Shu Yu almost jolted and wrote the wrong character as she stood up to ask, “What happened outside?”
Someone had already run out to look, and in a moment, that person had come back, “The people from team five encountered Big Bear– the leader had his arm bitten off, and the others are also injured. The situation looks grim.”
Shu Yu was shocked. Encountered Big Bear?
She hurried out to take a look, while others from the manor came out to help as well.
Although they were prisoners, they represented a significant amount of labor; if they all died, it would be hard to explain.
The people from team five were carried back to the manor, and someone had already run to fetch the doctor.
Of course, the officers wouldn’t summon a useless physician for this; it was just that, being far away, it would take quite some time to come and go.
Wang Changdong knew that Shu Yu’s brother was a doctor, the very one who had cured Father Fang.
He immediately came looking for Shu Yu, “Lady Lu, could you ask your brother to come and help urgently?”
Shu Yu expressed her inability to help, “My brother left Righteous Dao Village three days ago to look for medicinal herbs in another region, and he has not returned yet.”
Wang Changdong sighed, “Well, if they can’t be saved, then it must be their fate. Really, how did they manage to provoke Big Bear? They always cause trouble for me.”
The governor was still in Heichang County; just a few days ago, they had been rewarded for capturing a tiger in Righteous Dao Village. Now, it turned out, one team had been injured by Big Bear. If several people actually died, it would be difficult to report.
As he spoke, he looked irritably towards the direction of the house. The injured people being carried in were still howling grotesquely, sounding extremely miserable.
Shu Yu didn’t have a fondness for the people from team five, but she also found it strange. The members of team five couldn’t have such bad luck as to suddenly provoke Big Bear, could they?
Before long, the doctor arrived, along with the members of team three.
The game from team three was still of consistent quality and quantity as always. After Shu Yu registered them, she pointed to the house where the sounds were coming from and said, “The people from team five encountered Big Bear and got injured. They are inside.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Lu and a few others exclaimed, ‘Huh’.
Fang Xiyue’s expression showed surprise for a moment, then it turned odd.
