Chapter 574 Lu Erbai's Abilities
The water sac contained mild, salty soy milk. Shu Yu ate a bun and then a sip of soy milk, and soon her stomach was half full. She then slowly gnawed on a chicken leg in her hand.
Looking at the mountains and forests in front of her, she said, "I want to go hunting in the mountains."
There's not much else in the southwest, but there are plenty of deep mountains and forests, and plenty of prey.
Hunting, although it involves a certain amount of work, allows you to rest after you've completed it.
Moreover, when clearing land, someone is watching over you, so you can't slack off even a little. Hunting is different; as long as you're not afraid of wild animals, you can sleep in the mountains.
However, it is also very dangerous.
Like the man who was clearing land with her today, he lost his arm during a hunt. He was lucky that a doctor was collecting herbs in the mountains and treated him in time; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived.
I never went into the mountains again. Although the families who went into the mountains might have better food, nothing is more important than life.
Most importantly, not everyone who goes into the mountains to hunt has a bow and arrow. Most people can only carry a wooden stick, a machete, or a net. Not only is the safety unstable, but snakes, insects, and rodents may bite you from time to time. You won't even know when you've been bitten by a poisonous insect.
Therefore, very, very few of the exiled prisoners participated in the hunting.
Meng Yunzheng frowned after hearing her idea, and after a long while said, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I won't risk my life."
Meng Yunzheng nodded. He needed to speed things up and find her a job in the county town.
"After I get back tonight, I'll ask Zhao Xi to get some medicine and bring it to you tomorrow." He needed to prepare more insect and snake repellent powder, as well as life-saving medication.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Thanks." She took the last bite of chicken and threw the bone into the grass.
"By the way, how are my parents? Have you seen them?"
"I saw them." Only then did Meng Yunzheng realize that he had almost forgotten the important matter. "Uncle Lu asked me to pass on a message to you: they have rented a house in the county town and settled down."
The Lu family arrived in Heichang County more than ten days earlier than usual, and they acted very quickly. Because they had the three bodyguards with them, they weren't completely clueless.
The three bodyguards found a security escort agency that had dealings with Linzhang Prefecture. The bodyguards from the agency then took them to Heichang County, where they met the bodyguards in the county.
Lu Erbai treated them to a meal, and in doing so, he learned quite a bit about the situation in Heichang County.
To be honest, Meng Yunzheng really didn't know that Lu Erbai had such social skills.
Back in Jiangyuan County, almost everything concerning the Lu family was decided by Shu Yu and the old lady. Although Lu Erbai was the head of the Lu family, he was unable to do many things due to his leg injury, and his presence was even less noticeable than that of Ruan Shi and Daya, who were skilled at sewing.
He spent most of his time behind the counter at Yiren Pavilion, helping with accounting and counting money. He made decisions about what to buy for the family, and even dealing with the Lu family's first and second branches of the family. It was all the old lady's idea.
Unexpectedly, once Lu Erbai arrived in Heichang County, he quickly found his footing and began to befriend the local bodyguards.
Meng Yunzheng heard that for many years before, it was Lu Erbai who had been searching for the missing Shu Yu.
Clearly, all those years of traveling around haven't been in vain.
