Chapter 741 The Wounded Rabbit
Shu Yu, holding the rabbit, asked, "Is this for me?"
"Yes, we caught quite a lot of game today. After we divide it up, this rabbit is yours."
After Fang Xiyue joined Ma Lu's team, she gained a lot every day.
However, unlike Shu Yu, they wouldn't return until after 1-3 PM. With three large teams, they needed a lot of prey.
They were different from Shu Yu. At that time, Shu Yu only thought about going home once he had enough prey, so that he could rest and put the old lady at ease.
Fang Xiyue was worried about her seriously injured father, so she naturally went home early.
Things are different now. Fang's father has almost fully recovered, and the burden on the family has been greatly reduced. Fang Xiyue and Ma Lu are thinking of hunting more game so they can save it up and sell it in the prefectural city later to earn some money.
Therefore, the three teams usually didn't return until evening.
Shu Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Fang Xiyue, thanked her, and put the rabbit in the basket on her back to continue working.
After the land clearing team returned, Shu Yu finished her work and went home in the still dim light.
Upon entering the courtyard, she saw Sanya sitting under the eaves waiting for her.
Shu Yu waved to her, "San Ya, here's a rabbit for you."
Sanya ran over excitedly and quickly took the rabbit from her.
"This rabbit is still alive, I'll take care of it for a couple of days."
“Don’t worry, Second Sister, I’ll keep an eye on it, I…” Sanya paused halfway through her sentence, looking down at the rabbit in surprise, “Second Sister, it seems to be injured.”
"Hmm?" Shu Yu leaned closer to look, and it really was.
She hadn't looked closely before, but after Sanya reminded her, she noticed that there was blood on the gray and dirty rabbit's feet.
Sanya held the rabbit's paws tenderly and said to Shuyu, "Second Sister, I want to treat its wounds. Can we eat it after the rabbit's wounds have healed?"
Shu Yu, "..."
Seeing Sanya's very serious expression, she nodded with difficulty, "You decide."
Sanya immediately hugged the rabbit and left happily.
Shu Yu rubbed her temples and went to find Zhao Xi.
Meng Yunzheng has already left; if she wants to find out anything, she can only contact him.
Although Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had confessed their feelings, and the old lady in his family already knew, it was precisely because of this that he couldn't stay here for long, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay at the Lu family's house.
Zhao Xi is now the Lu family's top dog, but he isn't.
Meng Yunzheng had been searching for the abbess of Dongqing Temple, but now that they had agreed to wait for her in Heichang County, he stopped wandering around and simply stayed in the county town.
After returning to the county town, he rented a small courtyard across from the alley where Lu Erbai lived.
Living close by means we can look out for each other.
Shu Yu asked Zhao Xi, "What did you gain from this trip?"
"Oh, you mean the guards? We've found out; they were indeed placed by the Gong family to serve Lord Cheng. We've informed Lord Cheng of this matter. How to handle it from here on out is Lord Cheng's business; we won't interfere."
Anyway, Lord Cheng looked quite angry. How could he not be angry? The guards he brought with him on this trip were all trusted and close people.
It turned out that one of them was arranged by the Gong family. What a Gong Qiu! It's one thing to act arrogantly in the capital, but to extend his reach to Lin Zhang Prefecture and even to his head. Lord Cheng wished he could chop Gong Qiu up.
Shu Yu asked, "What's the guard's name?"
"Cheng Dong." Zhao Xi looked up at her curiously. "What, you know her?"
