The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Cooperation Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Cooperation As soon as he stepped out, Shu Yu told Fang Xiyue about Ma Lu’s proposal from the previous night to hunt a tiger deep in the mountains.

Fang Xiyue was momentarily stunned after hearing the plan, “Hunt a tiger?”

She had never considered it before and suddenly found herself at a loss, “Then, Yu, what do you think?”

“I actually want to give it a try. I’m not all that interested in the other rewards, but the reward of being able to take a two-day break from Righteous Dao Village and go out, that’s very tempting to me.”

Fang Xiyue blinked slowly, in reality, the prospect of a two-day holiday wasn’t very tempting for her. She wasn’t even familiar with Righteous Dao Village, let alone going out to other places. However, the reward of more food or even money for hunting the tiger was something she really needed.

The Fang Family was truly impoverished now. Only during the past couple of days had she cooperated well with Yu, hunting more game which could be exchanged for goods. But in Righteous Dao Village, there weren’t many families with whom they could barter, and the quantities were small.

If she had money, she could have someone go to town or the county town to buy some necessary items.

And with money, they could pay off the debts owed to the authorities.

The more she thought about it, the more tempted Fang Xiyue became.

Therefore, she lifted her head, eyes shimmering slightly, “So, shall we go?”

“No need to rush our decision. Ma Lu and his group won’t go into the mountains until three days later. You should go home tonight and ask your father and mother first.” If Father Fang and Mother Fang didn’t agree, then Fang Xiyue wouldn’t be able to participate.

“Alright.”

While chatting, the pair made their way to the foot of the mountain.

Then, Shu Yu found that the same scene as yesterday was once again unfolding behind them.

Several teams were following them once more.

Obviously, they could not repeat yesterday’s trick today. It seemed even if they wandered around the periphery delaying for half an hour, these people wouldn’t be fooled again.

Luckily, someone stepped forward and said to Shu Yu, “Lady Lu, would you like to enter the mountains with us to hunt bigger game?”

The speaker was Ma Lu. Although Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue had not yet agreed to join the tiger hunt with them in three days, that didn’t prevent them from getting to know each other’s methods beforehand, assessing each other’s skills, and getting used to each other’s temperaments.

After thinking it over and exchanging a glance with Fang Xiyue, Shu Yu accepted the offer.

They quickly followed Ma Lu and his people deep into the mountains, while the others had to give up following them and joined other groups headed elsewhere.

Upon entering the deep mountains, Shu Yu and her companion hardly spoke a word.

With three teams taking the lead, the pair simply took the opportunity to observe the terrain and environment.

Every now and then, Ma Lu glanced at them, noting that they seemed not to have any opportunity to show their abilities. After thinking for a moment, he signaled to his team to hold back for a while.

He had realized that several people in his group were showing a strong desire to perform in front of the two young ladies.

Though they wore no expression on their faces and said nothing, they were spirited.

But this would not do. He hadn’t invited the two ladies to put on a performance; he wanted to know their strength.

With Ma Lu’s warning, the other team members finally held back after hunting a sheep and didn’t rush forward anymore.

Shu Yu, always perceptive, understood the situation at a glance.

Just as well, she had nearly finished surveying the terrain, and it was now time to take action. They had not come here to leech off others or hide behind them.

Shu Yu tugged at Fang Xiyue, who immediately nodded and started to seriously inspect the tracks on the ground.
