“They, as convicts exiled here, couldn’t leave Righteous Dao Village for the first year, and even if they wanted to shop, they could only ask others to make purchases on their behalf.”

Ma Lu nodded, “As long as one doesn’t leave Linzhang Prefecture, naturally, they can go anywhere they want.”

But with only two days of rest, how far could they really go? Even making a trip to Linzhang Prefecture, the time it would take to go there and back would almost be entirely spent on the road.

Shu Yu felt tempted; although two days wasn’t long, she had a carriage after all, so she could still enjoy a bit of freedom.

However, hunting Dahu was a major event. Furthermore, she was not alone; she needed to consult Fang Xiyue’s opinion as well.

“I need to think about this a bit.”

Ma Lu nodded, “Of course, we’re making preparations ourselves, and we’ll head into the mountain again in three days.”

So, the Shu family still had three days to consider.

Having said what needed to be said, Ma Lu didn’t linger any longer and stood up, preparing to leave.

Shu Yu remained seated in the living room, pondering over the matter of the tiger in the mountains. If they truly intended to venture deep into the mountains to hunt tigers, regular bows and arrows might not be enough.

These past two days, Meng Yunzheng had been preparing a small, nifty Pocket Crossbow for her, and she wondered whether it was ready yet.

Zhao Xi would go to the county town tomorrow, and if it was ready for use, he should bring it over.

Thinking this, Shu Yu planned to find Zhao Xi and remind him.

But calling out twice yielded no response; instead, Dahu came out saying, “Brother Zhao has gone out.”

“What’s he doing out so late?”

Dahu shook his head; he didn’t know either.

Shu Yu didn’t inquire further; after all, Zhao Xi wasn’t a member of their household and had his own matters to attend to.

However, she quickly realized that not only was Zhao Xi gone, but Daya was also nowhere to be seen.

At this late hour, for Daya, a young lady, to step outside could be dangerous.

Shu Yu furrowed her brows. Her sister wasn’t someone who would cause worry; surely, she wouldn’t have gone out alone. Therefore, Shu Yu suspected that Zhao Xi and Daya had left together, but where had they gone?

At this moment, Daya and Zhao Xi were standing at the entrance to the Shu family’s home; they had quietly slipped out while Shu Yu was talking with Ma Lu.

As soon as they left, they headed straight to the Shu family’s place. The Shu family members returned late, and Zhao Xi and Daya had to wait outside a while before seeing them slowly and feebly enter the house.

Daya watched the Shu family members with an indignant expression and tightly clenched hands.

Zhao Xi, worried she might become too agitated, quickly whispered, “Calm down a bit; don’t rush. Let’s wait for everyone to come out before we talk.”

“Mhm,” Daya nodded with pursed lips, “Don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive.”

Zhao Xi smiled and then turned his head back towards the entrance of the Shu family home.

Before long, they saw Madam Hou come out to do the laundry.

Following her, Mrs. Liu also appeared carrying a basin of clothes.

Then, the eldest daughter and Miss Four came out, each carrying a bucket to fetch water.

Finally, Mrs. Xue emerged, looking tired, with a bundle of rope in her hand.

As soon as she stepped out, Daya immediately straightened her back.

Watching her leave, Daya and Zhao Xi quickly followed after.

Mrs. Xue headed towards the base of the mountain, clearly going to gather firewood with the rope in her hand.

There were several other people busy at the foot of the mountain, but they seemed to be quite skilled, quickly gathering large bundles and carrying them home.

Only Mrs. Xue was collecting slowly, bending over to pick up twigs one by one and stacking them to one side.

After a short while, she sat down on a rock to rest.

As dusk fell, Daya moved quietly towards her from behind.

Mrs. Xue was totally unaware until a sack descended from above, covering her head. She was briefly stunned and then let out a shrill scream.

“Ah…”
