As soon as they stepped out, Shu Yu began telling Fang Xiyue about Ma Lu coming to her last night, proposing to enter the deep mountains to hunt tigers.
"Hunt a big creature?" Fang Xiyue was taken aback. She had never thought about it and was momentarily at a loss. "So, what do you think, Ah Yu?"
"I actually want to give it a try. I'm not particularly interested in the other rewards, but the opportunity to take a two-day break from Zhengdao Village and go out is quite tempting for me," Shu Yu replied.
Fang Xiyue hesitated. In fact, a two-day break wasn't very appealing to her. She wasn't even familiar with Zhengdao Village, let alone other places outside. However, the rewards of having more food or even silver coins after hunting the big creature were indeed something she needed.
The Fang family was truly impoverished at the moment. These past two days, she and Ah Yu had managed to catch some more game together, but there weren't many households in Zhengdao Village that could trade goods, and the quantity they could exchange was limited.
If she had silver coins, she could ask someone to go to the town or county to buy the things they needed. Moreover, with the silver coins, they could repay the debt they owed to the authorities.
As she thought about it, Fang Xiyue became more and more tempted. Thus, she looked up, her eyes shimmering slightly, and said, "Then let's go?"
"No need to rush into a decision. Ma Lu and the others won't enter the mountains until three days later. Tonight, go back and ask your parents for their opinion. If they don't agree, you won't be able to come out," Shu Yu advised.
"Alright."
While they talked, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Then, Shu Yu noticed the same scene as yesterday playing out behind them. Several teams were following them.
It seemed that they couldn't employ the same trick again today. Even if they loitered around the outskirts for half an hour, these people wouldn't be fooled anymore.
Fortunately, someone approached Shu Yu after a while and said, "Miss Lu, do you want to enter the mountains together and hunt a big game?"
The person speaking was Ma Lu. Although Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue hadn't agreed to enter the mountains to hunt tigers together three days later, it didn't prevent them from getting familiar with each other's methods in advance, assessing each other's abilities, and getting used to working together.
After thinking for a moment and exchanging glances with Fang Xiyue, Shu Yu agreed.
They quickly followed Ma Lu and the others into the deep mountains. The others had no choice but to abandon their plans to continue following them and went their separate ways with their respective teams.
Once they entered the deep mountains, Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue hardly spoke to each other. With third team leading the way, the two of them took the opportunity to observe the terrain and environment.
Ma Lu occasionally glanced at them and realized that they seemed to have no room to demonstrate their abilities. After thinking for a while, he signaled to the others to temporarily hold back.
He figured it out—several people in his team were very eager to show off in front of the two young ladies, despite their impassive expressions and lack of conversation. They were full of energy.
But this wasn't right. He invited the two young ladies not for their performance but to assess their abilities. With Ma Lu's warning, the other team members finally restrained themselves after catching a sheep.
Shu Yu was always sharp and quickly understood the situation. Perfect timing, as she had already finished observing the terrain. It was time to get to work. They hadn't come here to piggyback on others' experience and hide behind them.
Shu Yu tugged at Fang Xiyue, who immediately nodded and started carefully examining the traces on the ground.
