Chapter 603 Another Girl
Shu Yu could naturally see the displeasure of the crowd and knew what they meant.
If it were a man, it would be fine, but a woman, looking completely helpless, would only be a hindrance if she went into the mountains.
So everyone present remained silent, some even turning their heads away, thinking they wouldn't be chosen.
The official frowned. Since he had promised Meng Yunzheng, he would definitely have to take extra care of Shu Yu.
Therefore, he glanced at everyone present and said, "If you're not going to say anything, then I'll choose myself."
His preferred group was the large group of eight, which was quite experienced and had a lot of manpower. Shu Yu only needed to blend in with them and go through the motions; he would gain something from the trip.
It's just bringing one more person, it's no big deal.
The official was about to speak when he thought about it.
However, the leader of the eight-man group sensed something was wrong when he met the officer's gaze. He quickly smiled and said, "Officer, I think it's better for men to go hunting in the mountains. Women probably don't know the dangers of going into the mountains, especially for a large group like ours. We're going deep into the mountains, where there are all sorts of wolves and tigers. It's her first time in the mountains, so it's not suitable for her to come with us. If something happens to her, it would be such a waste."
His teammates behind him immediately said, "Yeah, why don't we let her go with a smaller group? She won't have to go deep into the mountains. It'll be a good opportunity for her to practice. Once she's more skilled, she can go deep into the mountains with a larger group."
As he spoke, the man looked at the only group of three.
The three men's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly said, "The three of us have been working together for a long time and we know each other well. Adding another person would only affect our teamwork. I think it would be better for her to go with Team Five. They also have a woman on their team, so it would be more convenient for the two girls to be together, and they could take care of each other, right?"
Shu Yu was taken aback. There was another woman besides her? How come she hadn't seen her before?
She followed everyone's gaze and looked at Team Five. After taking a closer look, she realized that there was indeed a girl standing in the far corner.
The girl was dressed in coarse linen clothes, had her hair styled in a man's bun, and her face was dark. She was short in stature. Standing behind several men, she was easily missed if you didn't look closely.
The girl only looked up when she heard someone mention her name, her fingers clenching slightly.
But the members of the other five teams were not happy. They already had one burden, and now they wanted to be burdened with another? Would they still be able to hunt and eat?
The man leading the fifth team immediately said, "I don't think it's appropriate, but they are right about one thing. Officer, it's really not suitable for this young lady to come into the mountains with us. It was fine when there was only one of them, we took her with us. But now that there are two of them, why don't we let them form a team?"
Someone behind him chimed in, "Yes, officer. Anyway, those two girls don't need to go deep into the mountains. They can just wander around the outskirts and hunt some pheasants and rabbits. There's no need to worry about them encountering any danger."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately nodded and said in succession, "Yes, yes, that's a good idea."
The officer frowned. Actually, he thought it was a good idea. Hunting pheasants on the outskirts was fine. There were only two girls, so the task wasn't demanding. Hunting three pheasants or rabbits would be enough.
He started to think about it, but he still wanted to ask for their opinions.
