Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Ma Lu Cos Knocking Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Ma Lu Cos Knocking Shu Yu did as she promised—the spicy rabbit was richly flavored, making not only the whole Lu family salivate profusely but also causing the neighbors to stand in their yard, sniffing the air intensely before cursing under their breath.
Fortunately, the Shu Yu family ate dinner early. By the ti most people hadn’t yet returned, they had already prepared their al and devoured the deliciously spicy rabbit, with only a faint scent lingering in the air.
The whole family ate until they were slightly stuffed. Shu Yu stood in the yard to digest her food while checking on the sunflowers she had planted.
Although only the seeds were buried in the ground, it didn’t stop her from standing beside them “encouraging growth.”
It was at this mont that a knock on the door sounded. Dahu ran to open it.
He then turned his head and called out to Shu Yu, “Second sister, soone is looking for you.”
Looking for her?
Shu Yu stood up from a corner of the yard; she didn’t know many people in Righteous Dao Village.
She initially thought it was either the Zhang family or the Fang family, or possibly Madam Hou and her daughter, but when she got to the door, she saw a face that was sowhat unfamiliar yet vaguely recognizable.
“You are…” She must have seen him before.
The man, with a stern face and expressionless, introduced himself, “I am Ma Lu from the third Hunting Team.”
Ma Lu?
As soon as she heard the na, Shu Yu rembered, “Oh, it’s you. What do you need from ?”
Ma Lu, the leader of the third Hunting Team.
The third team consisted of six mbers, each of them tall and robust, considered among the few in Righteous Dao Village who had exceptionally good als.
It was their team that had hunted two wild boars yesterday. Xiyue had ntioned that though their team wasn’t the largest, they often bagged the biggest ga, displaying formidable strength.
This team generally kept to themselves, seemingly having little interaction with other teams.
Yesterday, when the officers wanted to arrange for Shu Yu to join the various teams, the third team had stood silently aside, completely indifferent.
After Shu Yu chose to team up with Fang Xiyue, they were the first to leave the manor to hunt.
What was strange was, considering he hardly ever spoke casually, why would he co to look for her?
Shu Yu scrutinized Ma Lu, who was also observing her. Hearing her question, he thought for a mont then asked, “May I co in to talk?”
Shu Yu stepped aside to let him in.
Speaking at the door was indeed inconvenient.
Entering, Ma Lu could still sll a hint of food. He heard from the manor’s officers that two girls from the ninth team had each gotten a rabbit.
He hadn’t expected wild rabbit could be made so deliciously; thinking about how he usually just boiled it with a sprinkle of salt, Ma Lu suddenly felt a sense of waste.
Once inside the living room, Shu Yu poured him a cup of water.
Finally, Ma Lu spoke, “I heard that you caught a wild boar today?”
Shu Yu nodded, “Yes, we were lucky.”
Lucky??
Maybe Ma Lu would have thought so yesterday, but not today.
They returned around the usual ti, as did the other teams, so they had all seen each other.
However, they hadn’t seen the two girls from the ninth team.
Yesterday, everyone had mocked them, thinking they hadn’t caught anything and were too embarrassed to show up, but today, no one dared think that.
Especially during the ga handover, seeing a plump wild boar already lying in the storeroom, everyone was shocked and gasped in awe.
