Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Because Qi Ning was still waiting for him in the cabin, and considering that she might be scared if he waited too long, Qi Jingyu quickened his pace and hurried to find something to eat.

He picked some edible wild fruits and caught a wild rabbit with a dagger.

Qi Jingyu took the wild fruits and rabbits to the riverbank, cleaned them, wrapped them in leaves, found a bamboo tube, filled it with some water, and then picked up his things and started walking back.

His leg was already somewhat inconvenient, and with the added injury and the weight of his belongings, walking back to the cabin was no easy feat.

According to Qi Jingyu's original plan, when he walked to the door, Qi Ning should have heard his footsteps and then opened the door to come out.

But when he reached the door, there was no sound from inside the cabin.

"I am back."

He said something inside.

There was still no movement inside the house.

Is she asleep?

Qi Jingyu hesitated before pushing open the door of the cabin, but did not see Qi Ning in the outer room.

The fire that had been burning outside was almost extinguished.

Qi Jingyu sensed something was wrong. He threw what he was holding on the ground and called out "Second Sister" to the inner room that was separated from the main room.

Still no response.

He hurriedly went into the inner room, and upon looking around, he saw that the small bamboo bed in the inner room was empty.

Qi Jingyu's expression suddenly changed.

Before he left, he clearly instructed Qi Ning not to leave the cabin and not to wander around freely, so how could he have disappeared?

He immediately turned around and walked out of the cabin, looking around the neighborhood, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

Qi Jingyu carefully examined the surroundings again and found no signs of fighting or struggle.

If Qi Ning had encountered villains or wild animals, there should have been some obvious signs left around her.

However, the situation was completely the opposite. Everything seemed unusually calm, as if nothing had happened. Even the door of the cabin was still quietly closed.

Then there is only one possibility: Qi Ning left on her own.

Where could a timid girl like her go? She couldn't possibly be planning to walk out of here on her own.

If that's the case, then she must have gone to find him.

Qi Jingyu didn't see anyone on his way back, which means she didn't go in that direction.

He quickly analyzed the situation, walked in the opposite direction from where he had just left, parted the dense weeds, and sure enough, saw footprints.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Qi Jingyu didn't have time to think and quickly followed the footprints.

However, the bottom of the cliff was overgrown with weeds, so dense that the footprints disappeared in no time.

Qi Jingyu could only follow this direction and search all the way there.

He kept calling Qi Ning's name as he searched, but there was still no response after a long time.

Qi Jingyu was filled with a sense of foreboding.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.

Qi Jingyu paused in his steps.

"Ning'er, where are you?"

As soon as he said that, the crying stopped, and Qi Ning's voice, choked with sobs, rang out: "I...I'm here!"

Qi Jingyu quickly followed the direction of the sound.

However, the sky was overcast, and no matter how he looked around, he couldn't find Qi Ning anywhere.

"Where are you? I can't see you." Qi Jingyu asked again.

"I'm in this pit, I've fallen in..." Qi Ning replied softly.

Qi Jingyu searched carefully and found a pit behind a patch of weeds. Qi Ning was in the pit, looking up at him with pleading eyes and tears on her face. She looked extremely pitiful.

The moment Qi Jingyu found Qi Ning, he finally felt relieved.

This pit must have been a trap dug by hunters. Qi Ning accidentally slipped into it, but fortunately, there was nothing dangerous inside.

"Are you injured?" Qi Jingyu asked.

"Yes," Qi Ning said, feeling wronged. "I sprained my ankle."

Qi Jingyu reached out his hand to her: "Let me pull you up first."

Qi Ning wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes before reaching out her hand to Qi Jingyu.

Qi Jingyu grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

He was about to ask her why she had run out alone when Qi Ning suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Qi Jingyu's body stiffened.

Qi Ning threw herself against his chest and sobbed uncontrollably, her tears soaking the front of his shirt.

She mumbled incoherently, "I thought you wanted to get revenge on me and deliberately abandoned me..."

Qi Jingyu looked down at her, and after a while, he reached out and gently patted her back.

Once Qi Ning's crying subsided a little, he spoke: "So you ran out on your own? Didn't I tell you to stay in the cabin and wait for me, and not to wander around?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning pushed him away. Her eyes were blurry with tears as she looked at him and accused him, "It was clearly you who went out for so long and didn't come back. I thought you had abandoned me, otherwise why would I have come out to look for you? Now that I'm in this state, how dare you yell at me?"

"I……"

He was being mean to her.

Hearing Qi Ning's unreasonable and counter-accusatory words, Qi Jingyu was at a loss for how to react.

After a long pause, he finally said, "It's my fault."

Qi Ning pressed her advantage: "It was your fault to begin with. You shouldn't have left me there alone. Don't you know I was scared?"

"Indeed, I didn't think it through."

Only after hearing Qi Jingyu admit his mistake did Qi Ning reluctantly let him go.

Qi Jingyu sighed softly as he looked at Qi Ning crying pitifully.

He whispered, "No, it won't happen."

Qi Ning was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean you can't?"

"I will not retaliate against you, nor will I abandon you."

Qi Ning then realized that Qi Jingyu was responding to what she had said earlier.

She snorted: "I know you wouldn't dare, otherwise I would have told Father and let him punish you."

Qi Jingyu smiled helplessly.

He replied, "Okay."

Then he said, "Let's go, it's getting dark soon, let's go back quickly."

“But…” Qi Ning pointed to her foot, “But my foot is injured. I twisted it when I slipped and fell into this pit.”

Qi Jingyu looked down and glanced at her feet.

This is indeed a problem.

Qi Jingyu thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll carry you on my back."

"You'll carry me? How will you carry me?" Qi Ning retorted, "Your own legs are..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

It simply means that Qi Jingyu himself has a leg ailment and difficulty walking, so how could he carry her?

"It's alright."

Qi Jingyu turned his back to Qi Ning and said, "Come on up."

Qi Ning looked at Qi Jingyu's back, but didn't immediately lean on him, her expression slightly conflicted.

Well... Qi Jingyu does have a leg ailment, but Qi Ning's sprained ankle was an act. With Qi Jingyu like this, how could she continue to bully him?

“Come on up, you won’t fall,” he said again.
