Chapter 611 My Family Has a Doctor
Shu Yu stood behind the official and laughed, "We were lucky; we just happened to catch this roe deer by accident."
The official raised an eyebrow. Good luck? Not necessarily.
He crouched down to examine the roe deer's wounds, which were indeed arrow wounds. The other pheasants and rabbits also had similar wounds; except for one that appeared to have been pounced on and had its neck twisted, the others were all hit by arrows.
The officer felt he needed to reassess the two men.
However, the roe deer was quite plump. The official nodded and stood up, saying, "It's really good. Alright, carry all these things inside. Your work for today is done."
"Yes." Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue carried the prey into the manor.
After the officials checked the food again, they took out the grain that had been distributed to them that day.
Besides, the three pheasants also belonged to them.
Shu Yu was somewhat surprised; she thought it would be good enough to have one.
The officer coughed lightly and explained, "You've already completed your work for today by bringing back a roe deer. These three chickens are yours. Keep up the good work tomorrow and hunt a few more animals."
Shu Yu's forehead creased with three black lines. "You're still expecting us to bring back two roe deer tomorrow?"
She nodded with a smile, then took her leave, carrying the grain and three pheasants.
Only after leaving the village did Fang Xiyue look at the pheasants with excitement and say, "I didn't expect there to be so many."
Shu Yu lifted the pheasant in her hand; it was quite heavy.
She said to Fang Xiyue, "Three chickens, how about we each have one and a half?"
"No, no, no, I don't need so many. You hunted all these pheasants, and you shot the roe deer with your arrows too. Two for you, one for me is enough." Fang Xiyue waved her hands repeatedly to refuse. "Besides, there are only three people in my family. Didn't you say you have a lot of family members? One and a half isn't enough."
It's definitely enough, but dividing half a chicken back and forth is a hassle.
Shu Yu thought for a moment and then said simply, "How about this, I won't give you the half chicken. I'll trade it for something else. What do you need?"
"No need, you gave me such a big rice ball at noon."
“No, that won’t do. The fact that we were able to hunt so many animals today is the result of our joint efforts. Although I shot the arrow, without you, I probably wouldn’t even have been able to find the prey. I would feel bad if I got half a chicken more than I deserved.”
Shu Yu's expression turned serious. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said, "Didn't you say your father is seriously injured and bedridden? How about this, I happen to have a doctor at home. Let him take a look at your father and prescribe some medicine. This half chicken will be your payment."
Fang Xiyue, who had been walking forward, suddenly stopped and looked at Shu Yu in astonishment. "You, you, you said you have a doctor in your family?"
"yes."
Fang Xiyue immediately grabbed her hand, "Okay, okay, then let him take a look at my father. He's been in a coma for longer and longer periods now, and I'm really afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Fang Xiyue simply couldn't refuse the exchange terms proposed by Shu Yu.
As long as her father can be cured, she would gladly give Shu Yu not just half a chicken, but all of them.
Their family had considered finding a doctor to treat Fang's father, but firstly, they had no money or food, and secondly... there were simply no reliable doctors in Zhengdao Village.
