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

The sun shone brightly on their way here.

On the way back, however, the sky darkened, the wind picked up, and dragonflies began to hover in the air.

Seeing the overcast sky, Xiuzhu called out into the carriage, "Young Master, it looks like it's going to rain."

Qi Jingyu lifted the curtain and glanced outside, a hint of worry instantly appearing between his brows.

"Hurry up," he ordered.

"Yes."

Xiuzhu lashed the horse's rump with his whip, and the horse ran even faster.

Qi Ning also peeked through the curtain on her side: "Looks like it's going to rain heavily. Are we going to be unable to get home tonight?"

Qi Jingyu reassured him, "If it really rains heavily and we can't get back, we can find an inn in the nearest town to stay for the night."

Qi Ning nodded; that was the only option.

However, the situation was worse than they had anticipated.

Before they could reach the nearest town, the rain came suddenly and suddenly, growing heavier and heavier, so thick that the road was almost invisible.

"Young Master, it's no use! The rain is too heavy, it's too dangerous, we can't continue on our way," Xiu Zhu shouted from outside.

Qi Ning sat in the carriage, her brows slightly furrowed.

Listening to the pouring rain outside, she could imagine how heavy the rain was without even looking.

Given the current situation, the mountain road might collapse at any time, or rocks might roll down from the mountain, so it's definitely not safe to continue.

Qi Jingyu lifted the curtain again to look outside. He saw what looked like a temple not far ahead and instructed, "Stop at that temple, go inside to take shelter from the rain, and wait until the rain subsides before continuing."

"Yes."

Xiuzhu quickly drove the carriage to the temple and stopped it.

Qi Jingyu got off the carriage first, and Dongyue helped Qi Ning behind him.

After Qi Jingyu got out of the car, he turned around without paying attention to the heavy rain, took off his large cloak, and let Qi Ning cover her head with it. Then he helped her out of the car.

The four entered the temple, and apart from Qi Ning, who was completely covered by Qi Jingyu's cloak, the other three were soaked to varying degrees.

Qi Jingyu asked Xiuzhu to light a fire in the temple, and he gestured for Qi Ning to sit down.

"Sit down and warm yourself by the fire, so you don't catch a cold."

"it is good."

Qi Ning responded and sat down by the fire as instructed.

The four of them didn't bother with any rules of master and servant, and sat together around the fire.

Qi Ning looked up and surveyed the temple, finding it quite dilapidated with a leaky roof.

She had a vague sense of foreboding.

"System, will this temple collapse?"

The system replied hesitantly, "Host, this... this wasn't written in the original plot, I don't know either."

That's right. In the original story, it was Zeng Wanqing who found the old doctor, and she also sent someone to handle the reward. Qi Jingyu didn't get involved at all, and the original owner had nothing to do with this matter.

In the original storyline, there was no description of this temple from beginning to end, so the system was indeed unaware of it.

Now, due to Qi Ning's actions, the plot has changed. The system cannot predict the future, and the changed plot is uncontrollable, so it can only be controlled by Qi Ning himself.

"However, this temple does look rather shabby, host. You'd better be careful," the system said.

Qi Ning knew, of course.

But at that moment, it was pouring rain outside, and it looked like a landslide could happen at any time. The horse was also stamping its feet restlessly.

Hiding in the carriage is also not advisable; if a landslide really occurs, hiding in the carriage is tantamount to entering a coffin prematurely.

In comparison, this temple is safer.

Seeing that Qi Ning looked somewhat dazed, Qi Jingyu assumed she was scared and whispered, "Don't be afraid. This rain comes quickly and usually goes quickly. It should stop soon. If we travel fast, we can still get back to the manor before dark."

Qi Ning hummed in agreement, then lowered her eyes to stare at the flickering flames in front of her.

However, she dared not relax at all, her ears remaining constantly alert, listening to the sounds outside as well as those inside the temple.

Suddenly, her ears twitched, and she vaguely heard the sound of the roof tiles loosening.

She grabbed Qi Jingyu's hand: "Second Brother."

"What's wrong?" Qi Jingyu asked hurriedly.

“I heard a noise. It looks like the temple is about to collapse. Let’s go outside.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingyu looked up at the roof above him.

"let's go."

Qi Ning urged him on, and then called to Dongyue and Xiuzhu, "And you, let's go out together."

Dongyue and Xiuzhu looked at the temple and thought it seemed quite safe, not like it was about to collapse. They hadn't heard any unusual noises either, so they didn't understand why Qi Ning would say that.

The rain outside was so loud that Qi Jingyu didn't actually hear anything unusual happening inside the temple, but he figured Qi Ning wouldn't talk nonsense; sometimes premonitions are accurate.

He stood up with Qi Ning and said, "Then let's go out."

The four of them got up and walked out, with Qi Jingyu walking beside Qi Ning.

They hadn't taken more than a few steps when, sure enough, a loud, strange noise came from above, and then the building collapsed.

It wasn't the entire temple that collapsed, but specifically the area above Qi Ning and Qi Jingyu's heads.

Qi Jingyu quickly pulled Qi Ning into his arms, bent down to protect her, and tried to pull her aside, but there was no time to dodge. He could only do his best to protect Qi Ning from being hit.

"Master!"

"Second miss!"

Xiuzhu and Dongyue cried out in surprise.

……

Finally, the rain stopped, and the four of them managed to return to the Marquis's residence before dark.

However, the four of them returned in a particularly disheveled state.

Especially Qi Jingyu, who went out perfectly fine but came back injured. It could be said that his old wounds had just healed when he was injured again.

He was hit on the back by a tile while protecting Qi Ning.

Qi Ning and Qi Congming, a married couple, waited in Yinqing Pavilion for the doctor to examine Qi Jingyu.

Qi Ning and Zeng Wanqing waited in the outer room. After a long while, Qi Congming and the doctor came out from the inner room.

"Father, how is it?" Qi Ning stood up.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, is Jingyu seriously injured?" Zeng Wanqing asked as well.

The doctor replied on his behalf, "Madam and Miss, there is no need to worry too much. The Second Young Master has only suffered some superficial injuries and has not broken any bones or muscles. He will recover after a period of rest."

"That's good." Zeng Wanqing nodded.

Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected this to happen today. She wondered whether this was her fate or Qi Jingyu's.

Qi Ning was naturally moved when Qi Jingyu protected her despite his own safety.

Her face was full of shame as she blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault. My second brother got hurt while saving me."

"How can this be your fault?" Qi Congming comforted him. "It was just an accident. Don't feel too guilty. Your second brother won't blame you either."

Qi Ning said, "I'll go in and see my second brother."

"Wait, Ning'er."

Qi Congming stopped her: "Jingyu is fine now, and it's getting late. You should go back and rest first, and come see your second brother tomorrow."
