Chapter 649: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
However, soon enough, Prefect Cheng's gaze fixed on two names in the 9th team. "This 9th team, only two people?"
The official nodded, "Yes, two people, and they are both young ladies. That's why my subordinates referred to them as the most special team."
Behind Prefect Cheng, Qi Chan furrowed his brows and looked at the roster. When he saw the name "Shu Yu," he thought to himself, "So she really is among the hunting teams."
A hunting team consisting of two young ladies, isn't that sending them to their deaths?
Qi Chan asked in a deep voice, "How are they special? Did you assign them the task of entering the mountains?"
The official, being quick-witted, realized that the enigmatic person in front of him was displeased, so he quickly explained, "Sir, these two young ladies volunteered to enter the mountains. I won't hide it from you, but I've only taken charge of Zhengdao Village recently. Before I arrived, Fang Xiyue was already part of the hunting group. Initially, I wanted to assign her to work on the wasteland, but Fang Xiyue insisted that her father was a hunter, and she was familiar with the terrain and skilled in hunting."
"And what about this Shu Yu?"
The official smiled and said, "Miss Shu Yu came to me on the third day after I arrived. She said she was skilled in archery and more suitable for hunting in the mountains."
Seeing that Qi Chan and Prefect Cheng's expressions eased slightly, the official quickly continued, "To be honest, I didn't have much hope for these two young ladies at first, but they were resolute in their determination. I thought I'd let them try it out for a day, just in case there might be some unexpected gains. Who would have thought that they would truly surprise me? On the first day, they came back with a full load, having hunted down a large deer."
"Oh?" Qi Chan and Prefect Cheng were both astonished and lowered their heads to look at the roster in their hands.
Indeed, the roster listed the hunted prey, including a deer on the first day, a wild boar on the second day, and a moose on the third day.
Impressive, the weight of the prey was considerable.
Qi Chan couldn't conceal his astonishment. Two young girls... accomplished this?
"They are truly skilled."
"Indeed," the official chuckled and said, "Not only did they hunt large prey, but they also returned early each day. They always came back before the evening, not because they were slacking off, but mainly because even if they hunted more, the two young ladies couldn't carry everything back."
Prefect Cheng nodded, "Indeed, and these large prey they hunted already exceeded the daily tasks of the two young ladies."
Qi Chan asked, "So, they will also return before the evening today?"
The official nodded affirmatively, "Yes, for the past few days, they always came back around the same time, never later than the evening."
It was almost evening now, so why not wait here for a while and take a break?
Therefore, Prefect Cheng turned to Hou Shi and her daughter and said, "Madam, we will rest here for a while. You can go back and rest, pack your things, and we will continue the journey tomorrow."
Then he turned to the official and said, "I'll be taking these two with me. Please handle the transfer."
"Yes, understood," the official replied and led Hou Shi and her daughter away to take care of the arrangements.
After completing the procedures, Hou Shi finally let out a long sigh of relief and felt at ease. From now on, she could leave the Shu family behind and live a good life with her daughter.
Feeling relieved, her steps became eager to return home.
At first, the official didn't react, but as soon as she left, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
