Indeed, just as she had guessed, it wasn't long before a few rabbits came hopping over, drawn by the scent and jumping into the tree pit, followed by several pheasants and a silly roe deer.
It wasn't clear if the scent had completely dissipated or if the smells of the small animals in the pit had masked it, but no other animals came afterward.
After ensuring there were no safety hazards, Yunyi climbed down from the tree and deftly collected her spoils into her space.
She thought about saving them for Old Master Chu after his mourning period ended, so she could eat them herself. Or, if she gathered more, she could find a place to sell them.
Realizing it was getting late, she decided against venturing further in. After all, it got dark early in the Lin Zi, and it was best to return promptly. She couldn't afford to cause trouble right after arriving in the village. Keeping a low profile was key to a comfortable life.
