Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Yes, Shen She is so smart, he probably saw through my pretense a long time ago.

Indeed, just as my brother once said, I am not suited for acting.

Shen She was probably already laughing at himself for being incredibly foolish to try and get close to him.

Just as Xiaoxiao was pondering how to respond to Shen She's question, a gasp came from the surrounding crowd, and a cold arrow shot straight at Shen She's back.

Perhaps dying together with Shen She would be good for her brother. At least she had completed the first two tasks he had entrusted to her, and she would have no more worries...

Xiao Xiao closed her eyes and hugged Shen She tightly, just as she was about to face death, but the man in front of her gently pushed her away with his left hand and turned to face the arrows.

Facing death without the slightest panic, he even wore a faint smile, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Death is not frightening to him; for him, living is like being in a hellish prison, while death is a release.

Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to see others contemplating suicide, even though she herself was going through a difficult time. She probably felt that she was also seriously ill, which is why she helped Shen She out.

Under Shen She's astonished gaze, they both plunged into the boundless Hongjiang River.

"grown ups!"

"Your Highness!"

Mo Feng and Ru Yan's exclamations were drowned out by the rolling torrent of the river and drifted aimlessly in the wind.

The sand and stones rolled, the river surged, and after several twists and turns, just when Xiao Xiao thought she was going to drown in the river, a strong arm gently lifted her up, just like it had done in the pool in the palace.

Xiao Xiao tried to open her eyes, but the fine sand blinded her, making it impossible to see faces clearly; she could only see blurry outlines.

It feels familiar, yet like a lifetime ago.

"Brother... Brother," Xiao Xiao murmured twice before falling into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

What came into view was a simple yet cozy farmhouse. I was lying on a bed made of hard wooden planks, with steam rising from the side of the bed, probably cooking something.

Could it be that my body died again, and now I've come back to life in another body?

As Xiao Xiao was deep in thought, the door was opened by a middle-aged woman.

The woman was dressed in hemp clothing and had a cloth wrapped around her head. Her weathered face had a pair of bright, lively eyes that suggested a warm and enthusiastic personality.

Just as Xiaoxiao had guessed, the woman was so excited to see that Xiaoxiao was awake that she rushed over to check on her. After finding that Xiaoxiao was alright, she excitedly called out to the outside, "Husband, she's awake!"

Not long after the woman called out, a middle-aged man dressed in the same manner rushed in in a panic. Upon seeing Xiao Xiao awake, his stern face broke into a wide smile. He said to the woman, "You stay here and watch over Miss Xiao. I'll go tell her cousin right now that she's awake!"

Before she could confirm her current situation, Xiaoxiao dared not ask who the so-called cousin was.

"Auntie, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Xiao hesitated, turning her head to look around before asking what seemed to be the most reasonable question.

"Miss Xiao, this is Peach Blossom Village," the woman quickly explained when she saw Xiao Xiao's slight unease. "We are not bad people. My husband is a hunter in the village named Wang Da, and my name is Zhang Hongmei. You can call me Aunt Zhang. You and your cousin were injured when you fled, and my husband saved you."

As Aunt Zhang was speaking, Wang Da hurriedly pushed open the gate to the courtyard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Xiao Xiao saw the sun shining directly overhead. A slender man at the entrance of the courtyard followed Wang Da step by step toward her. Only after they stopped did Xiao Xiao begin to carefully examine her cousin in front of her.

Shen She shed his fine clothes and put on shorts suitable for work. Even with patches on his clothes, his refined and noble air was still undeniable.

"My sister has really troubled you two these past few days. I have some gifts here, please accept them."

Aunt Zhang glanced at the millet in her hand, her face lighting up with joy. But then she thought that during this disaster, rice was more expensive than oil, and this small bag of rice must be worth a lot of money. So she refused to accept it, saying, "Brother, you and your sister are refugees who have come to this village. It is precisely during this disaster that you need food. You should take this grain for yourself!"

Shen She smiled and pushed it back, "Aunt Zhang, I just found a teaching job in town. This is just the initial monthly allowance; there's more to come!"

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was about to refuse, Shen She shoved the rice directly to Uncle Wang, who was standing to the side. "Aunt and Uncle, if it weren't for your help, where would my brother and I be today? Even if you really meant well, your children are still growing, aren't they?"

Thinking of the few thin, pale-faced boys in her house, Aunt Zhang had no choice but to accept the money, even though she felt embarrassed.

"Oh, then I won't stand on ceremony with Brother Shen. I'll accept this rice. My sister just woke up, and since you're a man, it's inconvenient for you to take care of her. If you need anything, just tell your aunt, and she'll definitely help you!"

"Okay!" Shen She nodded cheerfully and saw Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang off.

He was well-mannered and courteous, showing no trace of his former murderous nature; one might mistake him for a frail schoolteacher.

In terms of acting skills, Shen She is absolutely superior to me, no wonder he could see right through me.

Shen She slowly returned to the house, went straight to the stove, lifted the lid, and presented a bowl of steaming rice porridge to Xiao Xiao. "Have some."

From the moment she entered the room, Xiao Xiao had been observing Shen She. She noticed that Shen She deliberately avoided using his left hand in every movement, and that there seemed to be a bandage on his left shoulder.

The arrow wound must not have fully healed yet.

Why would Shen She save someone as useless as himself, especially when he was so badly injured?

Xiao Xiao refused the porridge Shen She offered. "Why did you save me?"

Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiaoxiao's voice was hoarse and rough, like a piece of dead wood that had been crushed, terribly unpleasant to hear.

"Didn't you save me too? Consider it repaying you with your life." Shen She gently stirred the porridge bowl. "Drink it while it's hot, because the charcoal will be gone soon, and there won't be any left. We'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Xiao Xiao then realized that there was indeed not much charcoal left at the bottom of the stove.

Feeling her stomach was empty, Xiaoxiao didn't make a fuss and directly took the porridge Shen She handed her and started drinking it.

He drank a little too fast and choked a few times. Shen She then advised him from the side, "Slow down, there's more."

The man spoke softly and gently, which made Xiaoxiao feel a little uncomfortable. "Don't look at me like that, it's creepy."

Shen She chuckled softly, "Your Highness is busy, so I will take my leave now."

Xiao Xiao hummed in response, then pretended to turn away from Shen She, and only after Shen She left the room did Xiao Xiao slowly put down her bowl, get out of bed, and walk to the door.
