Chapter 637 Delayed for a few days
Shu Yu stared at Meng Yunzheng suspiciously, wondering if he had drugged her family without her knowledge.
Meng Yunzheng found it amusing. "I didn't do anything. It's just that I was traveling with your family on the way to exile, and they saw that I was quite skilled in martial arts."
Shu Yu suddenly realized that Meng Yunzheng's martial arts skills were indeed extremely impressive.
Once the old lady's situation was settled, Shu Yu felt relieved.
However, Meng Yunzheng also brought her a message: "Lord Qi will accompany the governor to Zhengdao Village in five days."
Five days??
"Yes, the information is accurate." Meng Yunzheng asked her with a smile, "So, should we pick a different time to hunt the tiger?"
"Of course I want to." Shu Yu nodded eagerly.
The next day, when she saw Ma Lu again, she said to him, "I agree to go into the mountains, but could we postpone it for a few days?"
Ma Lu frowned. "Postponed?"
His friend behind him said, "How can that be? We've made all the preparations. What if something unexpected happens if we suddenly postpone it?"
Shu Yu sighed, "But I've prepared some things, though I need someone to bring them from the prefectural city. As you know, the journey is quite long and will take a lot of time."
"What is it?" Maru asked, needing to assess whether it was worth waiting a few more days.
He knew that Shu Yu's family had accompanied her to Zhengdao Village, and that they even had a mule cart, which made Ma Lu and the others quite envious. They even discussed whether they could borrow it from his family on their day off after hunting the tiger, hoping it might be useful for a trip to the prefectural city.
Because of this intention, Ma Lu and the others treated Shu Yu very kindly.
But if it has to be postponed for a few days, he really needs to reconsider.
Shu Yu said, "You can't buy life-saving items in this county town; you'll have to go to the prefectural city."
She didn't say anything specific, but Ma Lu noticed her serious expression and thought she didn't seem to be lying.
He turned around, discussed it with a few team members, and finally nodded, "Okay."
"Shall we continue to cooperate over the next few days?"
"Let's go, let's go into the mountains."
The group ventured back into the deep mountains, with Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue bringing up the rear.
Fang Xiyue waited until everyone in front had gone far away before asking her in a low voice, "Ayu, why did you postpone it for a few days?"
Ma Lu and the others didn't think there was a problem, but Fang Xiyue had spent many days with Shu Yu and was a very meticulous person.
She felt that Shu Yu didn't seem to be planning to go to the prefectural city to buy things, because... it wasn't worth it.
The rewards for killing tigers are limited, but buying things in the prefectural city is a long journey, and items not even available in the county town are bound to be expensive.
Fang Xiyue was always frugal, and after doing the math, she felt she had lost out big time.
She knew that Shu Yu was also someone who didn't like to suffer losses.
Hearing her question, Shu Yu wasn't surprised. She leaned closer and whispered, "Because I heard that a big shot is supposed to come to Zhengdao Village in a few days. Maybe we can take this opportunity to show off and get some unexpected gains? Right?"
Fang Xiyue's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
Shu Yu nodded. She would hide it from Ma Lu because they weren't that close yet.
But Fang Xiyue was different. The Fang family itself was wrongly exiled here, and Fang's father almost lost his life.
For the Fang family, showing their face to the governor a few days later would be a rare opportunity.
