The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Shu Feng’s Plan Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Shu Feng’s Plan The sons of the Shu family, especially the legitimate heir of the senior branch like Shu Feng, were destined to inherit the entire Shu family in the future. Therefore, the Shu family would not neglect his education.

Even though his talents were average, he still had to learn what was necessary.

This included horseback riding and archery, which meant Shu Feng was not a novice at shooting arrows or at hunting.

“I want to scout the mountain first, to become familiar with the terrain here. If possible, I’ll inform the officers tomorrow and go into the mountains to encircle our prey. If luck is on our side and we catch a big one, we could even add some meat to our meals. Otherwise, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables every day is not sustainable for our health.”

Shu Quan thought of the grains stored by Madam Hou, which according to Mrs. Xue, were things like bran, dried sweet potatoes, and dried vegetables. These were distributed by the manor according to each person’s labor.

But the dried meats in those cloth bags were gifts from the Lu family. Rabbit meat and chicken were all obtained by that youngster after going hunting in the mountains.

If she could hunt so many game animals in the mountains, naturally, they did not need to say anything.

Thinking of this, Shu Quan nodded, “Then I’ll go with you. I heard that if you go hunting early, you can even come back to rest.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Shu Feng and Shu Quan were in good shape and trained in martial arts. Although they had been banished to this place, after returning home to eat and sleep, their strength had gradually returned.

While the hours were still early today, they went to familiarize themselves with the situation in the mountains.

The two brothers were soon walking towards the mountain, initially keeping to the outer areas.

However, it wasn’t long before they ran into another group of people.

The group glanced at them and didn’t bother further, continuing with their tools to search ahead.

Unfortunately for them, they had nothing, not a single game animal in hand.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but curse, “That bastard Ma Lu, if I get the chance, I’ll make him pay. And that man… I will get my revenge sooner or later.”

“Enough, instead of focusing on Ma Lu, you might as well keep an eye on Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue. Those two women are much easier to deal with than Ma Lu.”

Upon hearing Shu Yu’s name, the steps of the Shu brothers came to a sudden halt, and they turned around in surprise.

The group continued to talk, “Those two women indeed need to be dealt with. Look for an opportunity to capture them both.”

These men were the members of the fifth team who had been previously knocked down by Meng Yunzheng.

They had been sore and numb before, but fortunately, they were able to make it down the mountain with some struggle. Otherwise, if they had fallen in the mountain, even in the outskirts, it would have been dangerous.

After resting for a while upon descending the mountain and feeling a bit better, they got up to continue hunting.

However, their limbs were still not very agile, so they dared not venture deep into the mountain to hunt big game, only trying to find wild chickens or hares on the fringes; they had to complete their task for the day.

Having had no success up until now, how could they not be impatient?

After cursing a few more times, they noticed that the two men they had just encountered were walking towards them.

The leader of the fifth team narrowed his eyes, “Is there something you need?”

“I just heard you talking, seems like you have a grudge against Shu Yu?”

“So what if we do?”

“As it happens, I have a grudge against her too. Why don’t we get to know each other a little?”

The few members of the fifth team exchanged glances and then suddenly smiled, “Didn’t expect that woman to have made so many enemies. She…”

Their voices hadn’t finished when footsteps and voices came from up ahead.

The voice of the leader of the fifth team stopped abruptly, and then his eyes lit up, “It’s Ma Lu and his gang, they’ve come down from the mountain. Let’s hide first and wait for the right moment to strike.”
