Chapter 610: Shu Yu's Plan to Keep a Low Profile

It was still early, only 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

However, Shu Yu didn't plan to continue venturing into the mountains. "Let's stop hunting," she said.

Fang Xiyue nodded in agreement, although she wanted to continue. After all, the more they could harvest, the better. They had been lucky today, and it would be ideal to make the most of it.

But since Shu Yu decided to stop, Fang Xiyue followed her lead. They were a team, and she trusted Shu Yu's judgment.

Seeing Fang Xiyue's desire to continue, Shu Yu explained, "Today is our first day in the mountains, and we're two young girls. It's better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, people might get jealous and target us. They might even increase our workload. It's not necessary."

In reality, even just one roe deer like this could attract envy and attention.

Fang Xiyue nodded, and Shu Yu squatted down to lift the roe deer. As they walked, they discussed their plans.

"Let's deliver these roe deer, wild chickens, and other game to the village first. Since it's still early, why don't we stay around the foot of the mountain and gather some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and medicinal herbs? We can add some variety to our meals at home. If we trade in the roe deer, maybe we can get a wild chicken in return and have a better meal today."

As soon as Shu Yu mentioned the possibility of getting a wild chicken, Fang Xiyue's excitement soared. It meant they could make chicken soup for her parents.

If they could gather some mushrooms and medicinal herbs around the foot of the mountain, they could also have a satisfying meal at home.

They rarely had the opportunity to do these things before. Usually, they would finish their work and rush home to cook and eat, without a chance to explore the area around the foot of the mountain.

Today, they could finally complete all the tasks they couldn't do before.

Thinking about this, Fang Xiyue's steps became lighter. "Okay, after we deliver the roe deer, I'll go back and get a basket." She paused for a moment, as if she had remembered something, and sighed, "I forgot, I don't have a basket."

This wasn't their old home anymore, and they didn't have a basket or a knife. They had to rely on their hands.

Shu Yu waved her hand. "I have one at home. I'll lend it to you."

"Great, thank you, Ah Yu. You're really a good person," Fang Xiyue said, feeling even happier.

Shu Yu, who had been labeled a "good person," was speechless. "..." This girl's standards for judging good and bad people were really low.

As they talked, the two of them carried the roe deer to the foot of the mountain. There weren't many people on the road at this time, as everyone was out working. Moreover, the path they took was relatively remote.

When they arrived at the village, the official in charge was lazily leaning on a reclining chair, taking a nap. He was slightly annoyed at being awakened by the knocking sound from outside.

He walked to the door and was about to scold when he saw that it was Shu Yu. The words died in his throat. However, his face still wore a sour expression as he asked, "Oh, it's you? Why are you back? Did something happen in the mountains? Did you catch any prey?"

"We caught some. There are only two of us, and we couldn't carry more, so we brought them back first," Shu Yu replied.

As she spoke, Shu Yu stepped aside, revealing the wild chickens, hares, and... the roe deer behind her.

The official's eyes widened in disbelief. "Roe... roe deer? Did you catch that?"

Could it be true? These two young girls, looking so thin and small, managed to catch such a large roe deer at this time?

Oh, not just that. There were also a pile of wild chickens and hares.

The official walked over to inspect the game and then raised his head. His gaze towards the two girls became complicated. It was hard to tell, but these two girls seemed to be fierce and ruthless.
