After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Chapter 3: Cannon fodder sacrificed by the male protagonist

Zhong Ning hid in the space and drank another small bowl of porridge and half a steamed bun, which made him feel about 70% full.

Fortunately, the space has an automatic fresh-keeping function. Even if she can't finish it at once, it won't go bad if she uses it again after a few days.

Zhong Ning was just feeling lucky that even though he had traveled to this shabby place, the rental house actually followed him, when he was suddenly ejected from the space.

Zhong Ning: ………

Last time I sneaked in there for an hour and then got ejected.

This time it's still an hour.

What? Can't you let me stay for two more days?

Fortunately, the speed inside and outside is different. If I spend an hour inside, only ten minutes will pass outside!

Otherwise, she would definitely be discovered if she disappeared for such a long time.

Zhong Ning lay on the wooden bed with hatred.

Because she was afraid of being discovered by Zhou Yuhua if she took out the quilt, she was always very careful and tried not to take anything from the space if possible.

He was covered with a thin, torn quilt that smelled musty.

After a short nap, I have to go to the mountain to collect firewood in the afternoon.

Winter is coming soon, and we need to stock up on firewood for burning in winter.

As he thought this, his consciousness sank into darkness.

Zhong Ning did not sleep well during this nap. He seemed to be brought into an illusory space.

The translucent oval glass cover trapped her tightly inside.

There is a huge virtual screen in the air.

The screen showed a book cover. Zhong Ning walked closer to take a look and saw a few large characters written on the cover: "The Road to Success in the Farming Family"!

Just by hearing the name, you can tell it’s a story about a male protagonist’s counterattack!

The protagonist must be from the countryside.

Qingyun Road represents the ladder to promotion!

To sum up, it is about a young student from a rural area who passed the imperial examination and reached the pinnacle of his life step by step!

The cover gradually faded, and text content scrolled from top to bottom on the screen.

as predicted!

The hero of this book is none other than Zhong Ning’s elder brother who traveled through this body, Xu Yongzhang!

The book tells the story of Xu Yongzhang, a student from a small mountain village, who, through hard work and diligence, became a disciple of Wu Jinshi by chance.

Later, with the guidance of Mr. Wu, he went from being a little boy to being a scholar and then a juren.

Finally, he went to the capital to take part in the imperial examination, won first place and became the number one scholar of the dynasty.

When he was riding a horse in the parade, the prime minister's daughter fell in love with him at first sight because of his handsome appearance. From then on, he became the son-in-law of the prime minister.

After his marriage, he was sent to a wealthy county to serve as an official under the guidance and support of the Prime Minister.

Ten years later, he was on a roll.

Become a powerful local official!

The perfect upgrade for the male lead!

As the male protagonist's sister, you might think that even if she is not favored at home, she will still be a pampered young lady in the future.

Ah!

Think more!

She is not the sister of the so-called future top scholar.

But he is just cannon fodder on the road to success for the top scholar.

According to the book, when Wu Jinshi announced that he was recruiting disciples, Xu Yongzhang became interested and tried to find out how to get in.

After much difficulty, he got in touch with Wu Jinshi's brother-in-law Chang Wenyuan through the introduction of a classmate, but because his family was poor, he had no money to give gifts.

In order to successfully become a disciple, he set his sights on the original body.

Although the original body is only fourteen years old this year, in this era, it is not uncommon for people to get engaged at the age of fourteen.

On the night Xu Yongzhang returned home, the original body accidentally heard Xu Yongzhang and Zhou Yuhua talking in the house, saying that they wanted to sell her for money to supplement the family income.

I suddenly felt disheartened.

The disease had not been fully cured to begin with, and now it has become even worse.

But even so, she still has to go up the mountain to work and prepare for the upcoming winter storage.

Because she was absent-minded, she accidentally walked into the mountains and was extremely lucky to find a century-old ginseng.

The original body cried with joy, thinking that with ginseng, his mother and elder brother would no longer think of selling himself to raise money.

But she didn't expect that she was originally redundant in this family. Even if she didn't sell herself now, she would still sell herself when needed in the future.

Xu Yongzhang also took the ginseng to the pharmacy and sold it for 300 taels of silver, which he used all for himself. Not only did he prepare a generous gift, but he also had some extra money to tidy up his own shop.

The original body didn't get a penny.

On the contrary, before Xu Yongzhang passed the imperial examination and was about to go to Beijing for the imperial examination.

He then gave her to Wu Heng, the elder brother of Wu Jinshi, who came from the capital, as a concubine.

The original body at that time had grown into a graceful young lady.

Because he once delivered something to his elder brother, Wu Heng took a liking to him at first sight.

In order to win over the Wu family in the capital and use them for his own purposes, Xu Yongzhang sent her out without hesitation.

Therefore, when he arrived in the capital, the Wu family provided him with many conveniences and assistance.

He was also glad that he had made a good move.

With an unfavored sister at home, he received support and protection from such a huge family force, which allowed him to quickly gain a foothold among the candidates one month after arriving in Beijing.

He was in high spirits, but his original body was in great pain.

Wu Heng was a playboy with dozens of concubines in his house. Although he doted on the original body for a few months at first, he soon forgot about her.

Let the original body suffer in the privacy of the Wu family's backyard.

In less than two years, she passed away.

When Xu Yongzhang heard the news of her death, he was working as an official outside at the time. He hugged his beautiful wife and concubines and sighed: What a miserable life!

After that, he never thought about his sister again, who had risen to prominence for him and was exploited to death.

When Zhong Ning saw this, he felt a surge of anger rising up, and the slight awe and timidity he had towards this era became cold and hard.

I originally thought that when I traveled through time here, I would become a destined heroine with a hidden identity like other heroines who traveled through time.

Now I just feel that my feet are cold and my whole body is cold.

Not only is she not the heroine, but she is also a marginal cannon fodder who will be counterattacked by the male protagonist on his career path and selflessly dedicate herself to him.

Go to the cannon fodder!

I don’t want to be cannon fodder!

Zhong Ning was successfully awakened by this ridiculous and absurd plot.

When I opened my eyes again, it was daylight outside. Zhou Yuhua's voice came through the crack in the door: "You stupid girl, it's already so late, and you're still slacking off. Hurry up and get up and cook. Who are you trying to starve to death?"

Hearing the shouting and cursing, Zhong Ning felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

She needs to keep a low profile now. What she needs to do is to avoid the plot and find a way to make money and escape, instead of confronting it head-on.

After preparing himself mentally in this way, Zhong Ning finally calmed down.

To successfully leave here, you need to be smart, not reckless!

She needed time to familiarize herself with the surrounding terrain, and she also needed money to support her departure.

Yes, she remembered.

The book says that she will pick up a ginseng in the mountains.
