Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Injured Rabbit Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Injured Rabbit Shu Yu held up the rabbit, “For me?”

“Yeah, we caught quite a lot of game today, after sharing, this hare is yours.”

Fang Xiyue followed Ma Lu and their team and every day the harvest was plentiful.

However, unlike Shu Yu who would return by midafternoon, the team of three required more game because of their larger number.

They were different from Shu Yu in that she only thought about hunting enough and then returning home, firstly to rest, and secondly to ease the old lady’s mind.

At that time, Fang Xiyue was also worried about her severely injured Father Fang, so naturally, she returned home early.

Now it was different, Father Fang had almost fully recovered, and the burden on the family had lessened significantly. Fang Xiyue and Ma Lu thought about catching more game, which they could save up and later take to the prefecture to sell for money.

That’s why the team of three usually wouldn’t return until dusk.

Shu Yu wasn’t overly polite with Fang Xiyue, she thanked her, then placed the rabbit in the basket beside her and continued with her work.

When the team clearing the fields also returned, Shu Yu finished her work and then used the last traces of daylight to head home.

Upon entering the courtyard, she happened to see Sanya sitting under the eaves waiting for her.

Shu Yu waved at her, “Sanya, this rabbit is for you.”

Sanya scampered over and quickly took the rabbit from her.

“This rabbit is still alive, you can keep it for a couple of days.”

“Don’t worry, second sister, I will take care of it, I…” Sanya abruptly stopped mid-sentence, looking down at the rabbit in surprise, “Second sister, it seems to be injured.”

“Hm?” Shu Yu leaned in to look, and indeed, it was.

She hadn’t taken a close look before, but prompted by Sanya’s comment, she noticed blood on the dirty, dusty gray rabbit’s foot.

Feeling sorry for it, Sanya held the rabbit’s foot and said to Shu Yu, “Second sister, I want to treat its wound. Once the rabbit is healed, can we eat it then?”

Shu Yu, “…”

Looking at Sanya’s earnest expression, she reluctantly nodded, “You decide.”

Sanya immediately left happily with the rabbit in her arms.

Shu Yu massaged her temples and went to find Zhao Xi.

Meng Yunzheng had left, and if she wanted to inquire about something, she could only turn to him.

Although the unspoken truth between Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had been revealed, and the old lady was also aware, precisely because of this, he couldn’t stay long, and it certainly wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stay at the Lu family.

Now, Zhao Xi was like Lu Daniu of the Lu family, but he was not.

In the past, Meng Yunzheng had been searching for the Dongqing Temple master, but now that they’d agreed to wait for her in Heichang County, he stopped wandering around and decisively stayed in the county town.

After returning to the county town, he rented a small courtyard opposite the alley where Lu Erbai lived.

This way, they lived close to each other and could look out for one another.

Shu Yu asked Zhao Xi, “Did you find anything on your trip out?”

“Oh, you’re talking about the guard matter? We have found out that indeed, it was someone from the Gong Family assigned to Lord Cheng. As for that issue, we’ve already informed Lord Cheng. Whatever the next steps are, they’re up to Lord Cheng; we won’t intervene.”

Anyway, Lord Cheng seemed very angry. How could he not be? The guards he brought along on this trip were supposed to be close and trusted.

Yet, one of them turned out to be placed by the Gong Family. Good old Gong Qiu, establishing dominance in the Capital was one thing, but to extend his reach into Linzhang Prefecture and over his head, Lord Cheng could barely resist chopping Gong Qiu to pieces.

Shu Yu asked, “The guard, what’s his name?”

“Cheng Dong.” Zhao Xi looked up at her in confusion, “Why, do you know him?”
