Chapter 1937: Personally Reasonable Chapter 1937: Personally Reasonable Editor: Henyee Translations Wu Guan’s discovery of a wild deer herd sparked excitement among everyone.

With it still being before noon, they swiftly decided to give chase.

After thorough discussion and planning, they aimed to catch up with the herd and hunt down five to six, or even seven deer.

Following the hunt, they would take a break to roast some pheasants and hares for lunch before heading back.

Anticipation ran high among the group.

Wild deer herds were a rarity, even in the forests of Anze Province.

It was said that sightings were few and far between, and even the most seasoned hunters couldn’t guarantee success—it all came down to luck.

Today, luck seemed to be on their side.

The deer herd’s pace was neither fast nor slow, but traversing the rugged terrain slowed their progress.

Additionally, wild deer were inherently vigilant, easily spooked by the slightest disturbance, often vanishing into the forest.

As they drew nearer, caution became paramount, further slowing their advance.

Unbeknownst to them, more than two hours had elapsed, yet they still struggled to approach the deer herd, which remained nearly a thousand meters away.

They were wary of making too much noise, fearing it would startle the deer herd and lead to a missed opportunity—a significant loss for the day.

Despite their mounting anxiety, they refrained from acting impulsively, determined not to abandon the chase.

Hour after hour passed, their pursuit relentless.

As the sun crept past noon, Zheng Sangge glanced skyward, noting the time.

Continuing the chase at this hour was ill-advised.

Nightfall in the winter mountain forest approached swiftly, accompanied by plummeting temperatures.

Failing to exit the mountain before nightfall posed considerable danger.

While he, as their leader, could endure such conditions, considering Lord, Madam, and their accompanying maidservants, it was another matter entirely.

Their endurance had been commendable thus far, but it was evident that their physical fitness wasn’t suited for traveling after dark.

“Lord, Madam, perhaps the two of you should remain here with a few others.

We’ll continue the chase.

If we haven’t caught up within half an hour, we’ll return.

It’s getting late, and we should prepare to leave the mountain,” Zheng Sangge suggested in a hushed tone to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.

Shao Yunduan found merit in the suggestion.

Considering their successful day, he assumed his wife would be content.

Turning to Qiao Xuan, he inquired, “What do you think, my dear?

I believe we should prepare to depart before darkness falls…” Qiao Xuan hesitated momentarily before asserting, “Let’s press on.

We’ve come this far, and it would be a shame to lose sight of them now.

If nightfall overtakes us, we can spend the night in the mountains, seeking shelter from the wind.

With our numbers, building a bonfire would be simple, and the night would pass quickly.” “And if luck is on our side, we may stumble upon a spacious cave, alleviating any concerns.” Indeed, they had recently spotted a sizable cave, offering a promising refuge.

Additionally, anticipating potential mishaps, they had brought extra shoes and thick clothing, ample for an overnight stay.

Shao Yunduan’s expression was indecipherable, but Qiao Xuan’s reasoning held weight, though she refrained from elaborating further.

Regardless, finding a suitable cave for the night was assuredly within reach.
