Chapter 626 Seeking Cooperation with Shu Yu

The first time could be attributed to luck, but what about the second time? Moreover, the second prey caught was a ferocious wild boar, which is much more difficult to deal with than a roe deer.

Two seemingly defenseless girls, could they be handled without some skill?

The officials also mentioned that they had brought the prey over at the end of the 11 PM.

After discussing things with the others in the team, Ma Lu came to find Shu Yu after dinner.

Now, sitting across from her and looking at her again, I realize that she looks calm and composed, unlike most girls.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Even if you're lucky, it means you're blessed by heaven. How about we cooperate based on this luck?"

Shu Yu was surprised, "Cooperation? Cooperate on what?"

"We've discovered traces of the giant insect these past two days and are looking to capture it. I wonder if Miss Lu would be interested?"

A big insect? A tiger?

Taking down a tiger is no easy task.

Shu Yu stroked her chin. "Why did you come to us for cooperation? Although we hunted roe deer and wild boars, compared to other teams, we only have two people, so we're at a disadvantage in terms of numbers."

If we're going to cooperate, the most suitable team would be the eight-person team. With more people, each person can hold off the tiger for a bit, and they can wear it down until it's half dead.

Ma Lu was silent for a moment. "We naturally considered other teams, but unfortunately, none of them were suitable. Even if they had more people, their teamwork wasn't good enough, and each of them had their own agenda. Some of them were even ruthless and would resort to underhanded tactics. If they stabbed us in the back while we were fighting the tiger, we would suffer heavy losses instead."

If you have to be wary of your own people while hunting, is there any point in hunting at all?

“You two are different. You and Miss Fang didn’t know each other before yesterday. But in just one day, you were able to get to know each other and work together to hunt roe deer and wild boar. This shows that you are both people who can listen to advice and adapt to changing circumstances. Since you two can work together so quickly, I believe you can too with our team.”

Shu Yu hadn't expected him to think so deeply.

However, she was quite pleased with the praise. But, "Even if we are indeed very good, we've only been into the mountains twice and we're not familiar with the conditions there. It would be too dangerous for us to rush into the deep mountains with you to hunt tigers. We don't have any big ambitions. If it were just the two of us, hunting some pheasants and rabbits outside would be enough. Hunting tigers wouldn't benefit us and wouldn't be worth it."

“Who says there are no benefits?” Ma Lu shook his head. “When hunting, if you catch a big insect or a bear, in addition to getting more food, you can even get silver and other rewards.”

Reward?

Shu Yu's interest was piqued. "What is it?"

"I can rest for two days and leave Zhengdao Village. Besides, I'm registered with the constable, which might bring other benefits in the future."

Wow, that's a pretty generous reward.

However, hunting prey like large insects and bears is a life-or-death endeavor, so such a reward is deserved.

Shu Yu had never heard of this reward before. When she inquired about the hunting with Xu Dali, who had lost an arm, Xu Dali hadn't mentioned it to her either.

She probably felt that such things were too far removed from her, and that bringing them up would be pointless.

However, for Shu Yu, this reward was very tempting.

"You mean if I leave Zhengdao Village, I can go anywhere I want?"
