Chapter 741: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 741: The Injured Rabbit
Shu Yu held the rabbit and asked, "This is for me?"
"Yes, after distributing the game we caught today, this wild rabbit is for you," Fang Xiyue replied.
Following the third team led by Ma Lu, Fang Xiyue and the others often had a good harvest.
But unlike Shu Yu, they didn't return early. The third team had more members and needed more game.
Unlike Shu Yu, who just wanted to have enough game and return home, they wanted to catch as much game as possible. They could save it up and sell it in the capital later to earn some money.
Therefore, the members of the third team usually returned in the evening.
Shu Yu didn't waste any words with Fang Xiyue and simply thanked her before putting the rabbit in her basket and continuing her work.
When the team clearing the fields returned, Shu Yu finished her tasks and finally headed home with the remaining light in the sky.
As she entered the courtyard, she saw San Ya sitting under the eaves, waiting for her.
Shu Yu waved at her. "San Ya, this rabbit is for you."
San Ya happily ran over and took the rabbit from Shu Yu's hands.
"The rabbit is still alive. Take care of it for a couple of days."
"Don't worry, Elder Sister. I'll take care of it," San Ya replied eagerly. But she suddenly paused halfway through her sentence and looked at the rabbit in surprise. "Elder Sister, it seems like it's injured."
"Hmm?" Shu Yu leaned over to take a closer look and indeed, there was an injury on the rabbit.
She hadn't noticed it before, but with San Ya's reminder, she saw the bloody marks on the rabbit's feet.
San Ya grasped the rabbit's paws, her heart aching. She said to Shu Yu, "Elder Sister, I want to treat its injury. Can we eat later when the rabbit has healed?"
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, looking at San Ya's sincere expression. She reluctantly nodded. "It's up to you."
San Ya immediately hugged the rabbit happily and walked away.
Shu Yu rubbed her temples and went to find Zhao Xi.
Meng Yunzheng had already left, so if she wanted to inquire about something, she had to find Zhao Xi.
Although Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had exposed their relationship, and the old lady in the family already knew about it, Meng Yunzheng couldn't stay for long and couldn't live in the Lu family either.
Zhao Xi was now the respected head of the Lu family, but Meng Yunzheng wasn't.
Meng Yunzheng had previously been searching for the Master of Dongqing, but now that they had agreed to meet in Heichang County, he had stopped wandering and rented a small courtyard in the alley opposite Lu Erbai's house.
They lived close to each other and could take care of each other.
Shu Yu asked Zhao Xi, "What did you gain from this trip?"
"Oh, you mean the matter with the soldiers? We've already found out. It was indeed someone arranged by the palace to serve Cheng Daren. We informed Cheng Daren about it in a letter. As for how to handle it next, it's Cheng Daren's business. We won't interfere."
After all, Prefect Cheng looked quite angry. Could he not be? The soldiers he brought with him this time were all close associates.
But one of them turned out to be arranged by the palace. It was fine if they caused trouble in the capital, but now they had extended their reach to Linzhang Prefecture and even targeted Prefect Cheng.
He would have liked to chop off the head of that palace guard.
Shu Yu asked, "What's the name of the guard?"
"Cheng Dong," Zhao Xi replied, looking at her with curiosity. "Why? Do you know him?"
