Chapter 627 Putting Aunt Xue in a Sack
These prisoners, exiled here, cannot leave Zhengdao Village for a year. Even if they need to buy things, they can only ask others to buy them for them.
Ma Lu nodded, "As long as we don't leave Linzhang Prefecture, we can go anywhere."
However, how far can you travel in just two days of rest? Even if you go to Linzhang Prefecture, the round trip will almost entirely be spent on the road.
Shu Yu was tempted. Although two days wasn't a long time, she had a car and could still have some fun.
But fighting the tiger was a big deal, and she wasn't alone; she had to ask Fang Xiyue's opinion first.
"I need to think about this."
Ma Lu nodded, "That's right, we're making preparations too, we'll go into the mountains in three days."
Therefore, Shu Yu and the others have three days to consider their options.
Having said what he needed to say, Ma Lu didn't linger any longer and got up to leave.
Shu Yu was still sitting in the main room, thinking about the tiger in the mountains. If they really had to go deep into the mountains to hunt tigers, ordinary bows and arrows might not be enough.
These past two days, Meng Yunzheng has been preparing a small, pocket-sized crossbow for her, but I don't know if it's ready yet.
Zhao Xi will be going to the county town tomorrow, and if it's useful, he should bring it with him.
Thinking of this, Shu Yu decided to find Zhao Xi and give him a heads-up.
But after calling twice without a response, Da Hu ran out and said, "Brother Zhao has gone out."
What is he doing out so late?
Da Hu shook his head; he didn't know either.
Shu Yu didn't ask any more questions. After all, Zhao Xi wasn't part of their family and had his own things to do.
However, she soon discovered that not only Zhao Xi had gone out, but even Da Ya had disappeared.
It's dangerous for Daya, a young woman, to go out alone so late at night.
Shu Yu frowned. Her sister wasn't the type to cause trouble; she definitely wouldn't go out alone. So she suspected Zhao Xi and Da Ya had gone out together, but where did they go?
Da Ya and Zhao Xi were standing at the entrance of the Shu family's house. They had sneaked out while Shu Yu and Ma Lu were talking.
They went straight to the Shu family home as soon as they left. The Shu family returned late, and Zhao Xi and the others waited outside for a while before they saw them enter the house slowly and listlessly.
Daya stared at the Shu family members, her expression angry, her hands clenched tightly.
Zhao Xi, who was standing nearby, was afraid that she would get too agitated, so he quickly said in a low voice, "Calm down, don't rush, let's talk about it after the others come out."
"Mmm." Daya nodded, her lips pressed tightly together. "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."
Zhao Xi chuckled, then turned to look at the entrance of the Shu family's house.
A short while later, they saw Aunt Hou go out to wash clothes.
Immediately after, Aunt Liu also came out carrying a basin of clothes.
Next, the eldest and fourth daughters went out to fetch water, carrying buckets.
Finally, Aunt Xue came out looking exhausted, carrying a bundle of rope.
As soon as she came out, Daya straightened her back instantly.
Seeing her leave, Daya and Zhao Xi quickly followed.
Aunt Xue went down the mountain, carrying a rope, clearly to gather firewood.
Several other people were busy at the foot of the mountain, but they seemed to have gotten the hang of it, and soon they had picked up a large bundle and were carrying it home.
Only Aunt Xue was still slowly bending over, picking up the pieces one by one and piling them aside.
After picking for a short while, she sat down on a rock to rest.
As dusk settled, Daya quietly walked up behind her.
Aunt Xue was completely unaware until a sack fell from the sky and covered her head. She was stunned for a moment, then screamed.
"ah……"
