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

After repeating this several times, Qi Ning finally fell asleep, probably because she was really tired.

Qi Jingyu sat by the bedside watching over her, looking at her sleeping face. He only went out a few times to add firewood and then leaned against the wall to sleep for a while.

The next morning.

When Qi Ning woke up, she saw Qi Jingyu leaning against the wall asleep, still not awake.

His brows were slightly furrowed when he was asleep, and although his eyes were closed, his face still exuded an air of refined elegance.

"System, what time is it now?" Qi Ning asked.

The system immediately replied: "Host, it is now the hour of Mao (5-7 AM)."

Qi Ning then asked, "How is Qi Congming doing? When will they be able to find us?"

"Qi Congming and his men have been searching all night and are now exhausted and moving very slowly. Even if they don't stop to rest and continue searching, it will take at least two hours to find this place."

Qi Ning replied, "Okay."

Since it was still early and Qi Congming and the others wouldn't be able to find him so quickly, Qi Ning wasn't in a hurry to wake Qi Jingyu.

He definitely didn't sleep well last night; he'll need to put in the effort to get somewhere later.

Qi Ning slept fully clothed last night, without taking off her outer garment.

She moved quietly, poured some pollen from the purse at her waist, and applied it to the back of her left hand.

She collected the pollen from the nearby area yesterday afternoon when she went out. It is slightly poisonous and can easily cause redness and swelling if it comes into contact with the skin.

If she were to tell Qi Jingyu directly that she wanted to take him to a doctor to treat his leg ailment, it would be too abrupt, and he certainly wouldn't agree.

Therefore, Qi Ning needed to find a reasonable excuse.

After applying pollen to the back of her hand, Qi Ning glanced up and saw that Qi Jingyu was still fast asleep, then closed her eyes again as if nothing had happened.

About half an hour later, Qi Ning finally opened his eyes.

She raised the back of her left hand and looked at it; sure enough, it was red and swollen.

Qi Ning sat up in bed and called out, "Qi Jingyu."

Qi Jingyu woke up immediately. He looked at Qi Ning and saw that her expression was strange, so he quickly asked her, "What happened?"

"look."

Qi Ning raised the back of her hand for Qi Jingyu to see, and saw that the back of her hand was red and swollen.

"How could this be?"

Qi Jingyu pulled Qi Ning's hand over and examined it carefully. Sure enough, it was severely swollen and red.

His mind was not quite clear at first, but when he saw Qi Ning's hand, the last bit of confusion in Qi Jingyu's mind disappeared, and he became unusually clear-headed.

"I don't know," Qi Ning said, feigning grievance.

She tugged at Qi Jingyu's sleeve and shook it: "Tell me, did some bug crawl onto my hand last night, bite me, and I got poisoned?"

Qi Jingyu didn't know much about those poisons, and his expression immediately turned serious after hearing what Qi Ning said.

He held Qi Ning's hand and examined it carefully, but found no obvious wounds.

"It's probably not an insect bite, there's no wound at all, don't scare yourself."

"How can you be sure? What if it was just an insect bite, but the wound is too small to be seen, or the insect crawled over and I got poisoned? Otherwise, why would my hand be so swollen?"

Qi Jingyu was somewhat unable to refute these words; he truly couldn't be certain, nor could he explain the reason.

Qi Ning became more and more frightened as she spoke, her eyes reddening.

"What should I do? Will my hand rot? Will it leave a scar?"

"The bruise on my forehead hasn't faded yet, and now my hand is like this. Am I going to turn into an ugly monster?"

"If I become ugly, I'd rather fall off a cliff and die..."

"What nonsense?"

Upon hearing the words "fell to death," Qi Jingyu interrupted Qi Ning.

Qi Ning choked: "I'm already in such a miserable state, and you're still yelling at me?"

Qi Jingyu sighed helplessly and softened his tone: "I'm not being mean to you, I just want you to stop overthinking. It won't be that serious."

"How can you guarantee it won't get serious?" Qi Ning countered.

She was pale, with red eyes and a bruise on her forehead; she looked truly pitiful.

Qi Jingyu knew that all girls loved beauty, and Qi Ning was no exception.

Although her mother died early and her father was not around, leaving her with some emotional void, she had always been materially well-off and had never suffered such hardship before.

Her emotional deprivation made her sensitive, while her material abundance made her spoiled. No wonder she acted like the sky was falling over just because she suffered a minor injury.

"What should we do? I might die from poisoning. When will Father come to save us?"

Qi Jingyu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"dare you laugh?"

Qi Ning pulled her hand back and glared at Qi Jingyu, annoyed. "Are you gloating?"

Qi Jingyu quickly suppressed the slight upturn of his lips and denied it, saying, "Of course not."

Although he felt that Qi Ning's performance was a bit exaggerated, what she said was not without reason. What if the poison was very serious?

Even if it doesn't endanger her life, it's still inappropriate to leave a scar on Qi Ning's hand.

Men can be a bit rougher and don't need to worry too much about their appearance, but it's different for women; a girl's hands are also very important.

"If you're not gloating, then what are you laughing at? What do you mean by that?" Qi Ning pressed on relentlessly.

She stared at Qi Jingyu, her eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Qi Jingyu hurriedly said, "What I mean is, you should get up quickly, we need to find a doctor."

"What? Find a doctor?" Qi Ning asked in surprise.

"Yes." Qi Jingyu nodded.

"But didn't you say we were going to wait here for Father to come looking for us?"

“I did say that, but aren’t you afraid of being disfigured? We don’t know when Father will be able to find us. You’re injured now, so we need to find a doctor as soon as possible. We can’t wait any longer.”

"Great!"

Qi Ning's expression brightened, and she quickly got out of bed.

"Finally, I don't have to live in this dilapidated house anymore."

Qi Jingyu watched her hurriedly pack her things, as if she couldn't wait to leave and didn't want to stay a moment longer.

After packing up, the two took the wild fruits they hadn't finished eating the day before as provisions and left the cabin.

Qi Ning stayed close to Qi Jingyu, tilting her head up to ask him, "Do you know the way? Which way should we go?"

Qi Jingyu was also considering this issue.

Going back was impossible; the other side was all cliffs and precipices. Although they might run into the people who were looking for them, that was only a possibility.

The most urgent task is to take Qi Ning to a doctor as soon as possible.

Qi Jingyu stood still, looked around, and then looked up at the position of the sun and the direction of the river.

"My hand is so itchy, and it seems to be a bit red and swollen again. When can I find a doctor?" Qi Ning kept muttering in his ear.

Qi Jingyu glanced at her and finally pointed in a direction.

"Let's go this way. This way we should be able to get out of here faster and find a doctor for you sooner."

Qi Ning looked in the direction Qi Jingyu was pointing, which was exactly the opposite of the direction Qi Congming and the others were heading, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
