The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 605: Chapter 605 Fang Xiyue Chapter 605: Chapter 605 Fang Xiyue After a few steps, Shu Yu suddenly remembered the girl behind her, realizing she didn’t even know her name.

She stopped and turned around.

It looked like they were going to have to work together for some time, so it was necessary to understand each other’s basic situation.

But when she turned around, she found the girl walking behind her, occasionally glancing at the bow and arrows on her back with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but lift her quiver slightly, and the girl’s eyes followed the movement.

However, it seemed she hadn’t yet noticed Shu Yu was looking at her.

Shu Yu, “…”

It seemed a bit dumb, not good at all–if one was this slow to react in deep mountains, it could be dangerous.

Thinking this, Shu Yu cleared her throat softly.

The girl, startled by the noise, looked up and met Shu Yu’s eyes, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed, “I, I was just lost in thought.”

Shu Yu, “I can tell.”

She started walking forward again, speaking as she went, “My name is Lu Shuyu, what’s your name?”

The girl hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with her, now walking beside her, and quickly said, “I’m Fang Xiyue, fifteen years old.”

She was a year older than her.

Shu Yu nodded, glanced at her shoulder-mounted bow, and asked, “I saw you staring at the bow and arrows just now. Can you use them?”

“No,” Fang Xiyue visibly saddened as she responded, “I’m too clumsy. My father taught me for a long time, but for some reason, I can never aim right, never hit the prey.”

Shu Yu paused, “Your father has taught you for a long time??”

Fearing Shu Yu would disdain her, Fang Xiyue hurriedly explained, “Yes, my father is a hunter. Although I’m no good at archery, rest assured, I’ve been hunting with my father since I was young. Apart from archery, I know everything else. I know how to set traps, know the habits of game, and how to avoid danger. Don’t judge by my frail appearance, I have no problem climbing trees and scaling mountains.”

After her lengthy explanation, Shu Yu stared at her in astonishment.

Damn, did she just stumble upon a treasure?

She reached out and pinched Fang Xiyue’s arm, who looked bewildered, not understanding why she would pinch her.

Shu Yu silently pulled her hand back, mhm, she wasn’t lying; the girl was thin, but her muscles were firm and strong.

Those fools in the team, pushing away such a talent, would surely regret it sooner or later.

Initially, Shu Yu thought to just bring her along, and it would be enough if she could move swiftly without making noise, but now it seemed not only would her own burden lighten, she could even benefit from this collaboration.

Shu Yu’s mood improved, and along the way, she chatted with Fang Xiyue.

The girl was a bit naive, and it took only a few words for Shu Yu to learn everything about her background.

Though that background wasn’t exactly a secret.

Fang Xiyue had her parents with her; their family of three was exiled to Righteous Dao Village just a few days before her own, so she was quite new as well.

Fang family had a decent life previously, blessed with a skilled hunter like Father Fang, and Mother Fang was diligent and competent, leading to a flourishing family life.

However, they had bad luck when Father Fang, during one of his hunts, dug up a ginseng worth a fortune.

Being a cautious man, he didn’t dare to show the ginseng openly and planned to find a reliable clinic before selling it.
