Chapter 604: Teaming Up with the Second Girl

The other girl was not important; the official mainly wanted to know Shu Yu's opinion.

He turned his head to look at Shu Yu and asked, "What do you think?"

Shu Yu had no objections. Honestly, she would rather go into the mountains by herself than accompany these men who looked down on her completely.

So she nodded and said, "I'm fine with it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the official waved his hand. "Alright, that's settled then. You two will hunt in the outskirts while the others go into the mountains. You can set off now."

The men present immediately turned and walked away, as if they were afraid of being late and that Shu Yu and the other girl would change their minds and follow them.

It wasn't until they left the estate that the people started whispering softly.

"Women should just stick to land clearing and charcoal burning. Why do they have to join the hunting team? They must have a death wish."

"That's right. Judging by the looks of it, I bet they would struggle even carrying two chickens. They'll only bring trouble to us."

"Team Five is quite clever. Not only did they not let that woman latch onto them, they even got rid of the previous girl using this opportunity."

The people burst into laughter.

"Actually, having a woman isn't bad. I think Team Five doesn't appreciate their luck. With that girl following them, they can do whatever they want."

Upon hearing this, the others smirked knowingly.

Their voices grew fainter, but Shu Yu was still inside the estate and hadn't come out yet.

The others had already received their hunting tools, but she hadn't, so she stayed behind to get her equipment.

She looked at the other girl present, who held a bundle of hemp rope, looking a bit nervous as she watched Shu Yu.

Shu Yu nodded at her and followed the official to select her tools.

The other girl let out a sigh and looked at the hemp rope in her hands, feeling somewhat numb.

Usually, within a team, there would be a set of bows and arrows, while the others would only have sharpened wooden sticks, slightly sharp daggers, or forks and other pointed tools.

But there were only two of them, and they were hunting in the outskirts, so it was certain that they wouldn't be equipped with a bow and arrows.

The girl sighed once again and hoped that Shu Yu would choose a better tool so that they could catch larger prey.

Lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps approaching.

The girl looked up and saw Shu Yu standing in front of her.

"You're..." The girl's words trailed off as she stared in surprise at the longbow and quiver on Shu Yu's back, finding it hard to believe. "You... You chose a bow and arrows?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Shu Yu nodded. "We're going hunting, and a bow and arrows are the most suitable tools, right? The official told me to choose, so I picked this. Is there a problem?"

The girl swallowed nervously and shook her head. "No, no problem."

Shu Yu said, "Since there's no problem, let's go then. It's getting late, and if we don't set off quickly, we might not catch anything today."

Those guys are like bandits, and who knows if they've already scared away most of the game near the deeper parts of the mountains.

On the first day of hunting, Shu Yu didn't plan to go too deep. She wanted to assess the situation first.

The girl nodded absentmindedly. "Okay, let's go, let's go."

The two of them, one carrying a bow and arrows, the other carrying a bundle of hemp rope, fearlessly walked out of the estate.

Shu Yu's steps were light, and she was in a good mental state, having eaten well, dressed warmly, and rested enough. She felt an endless surge of energy within her.
