Chapter 649 The Special Ninth Team
However, soon, Cheng Daren's gaze settled on the two names of Team Nine.
"These nine teams only have two people?"
The officer nodded. "Yes, two people, two young ladies, which is why my subordinates said they were the most special team."
Qi Chan, standing behind Lord Cheng, frowned and looked at the booklet. When she saw the name 'Shu Yu', she thought to herself, "Just as I thought, she really is in the hunting party."
A hunting team consisting of two girls—isn't that just sending them to their deaths in the mountains?
Qi Chan asked in a deep voice, "How are they special? Did you assign them the task of going into the mountains?"
The quick-witted officer knew that the seemingly unfathomable official before him was displeased, so he quickly said, "Sir, these two young ladies requested to go into the mountains. To be honest, I only recently took over Zhengdao Village. Before I came, Fang Xiyue was already a member of the hunting party. Originally, I was thinking of transferring her to the wasteland to reclaim wasteland, but Fang Xiyue said that her father was a hunter, and she used to often go into the mountains with him, so she was very familiar with the terrain and had no problem hunting."
"And what about this Shu Yu?"
The official chuckled, “Miss Shu Yu was brought here on the third day after I arrived. She said she was good at archery and would be better suited for hunting in the mountains.”
Seeing that Qi Chan and Lord Cheng's expressions had eased slightly, the officer quickly added, "To be honest, I didn't have high hopes for the two young ladies at first, but they were so confident, so I thought I'd let them try for a day, maybe they'd get some unexpected results. Who knew that the two young ladies would give me such a big surprise? On the first day, they came back with a full load, having hunted a big roe deer."
"Huh?" Qi Chan and Lord Cheng were both surprised, then looked down at the booklet in their hands.
The brochure indeed listed the game hunted: a roe deer on the first day, a wild boar on the second day, and a moose on the third day.
Goodness, these are all quite heavy.
Qi Chan couldn't hide his astonishment. Two little girls...fought?
"They're really skilled."
“Not only that,” the officer said with a smile. “They not only hunted large game, but they also came back early, around noon every day… I’m not saying they were lazy, it’s just that no matter how much game they hunted, the two girls couldn’t carry it all back.”
Lord Cheng nodded. "Indeed, and such a large prey has already exceeded the two young ladies' daily task."
Qi Chan: "So, they'll be back around 1-3 PM today too?"
The officer nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we've been going down the mountain at the same time every day without fail for the past few days, no later than the end of the Wei hour (1-3 PM)."
It's almost 1-3 PM now, so let's wait here a bit longer and take a break.
Therefore, Lord Cheng turned to the Hou family and said, "Mr. Qi and I will stay here for a while to rest. You should go back and rest, pack your things, and set off again tomorrow."
He then spoke to the official, "These two are to be transferred. You need to handle the handover here."
"Yes, yes." The official led the Hou family members to get to work.
After completing the formalities, Madam Hou finally breathed a long sigh of relief and felt at ease.
From now on, she can leave the Shu family and live a good life with her daughter.
She felt relieved and became eager to go back.
The officer didn't react at first, but as soon as she left, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
