Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Li Yinyin wasn't sure what her older brother was thinking, but at this moment, she had no other answer: "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."

Facing his sister's trusting gaze, Li Chengming didn't flinch, yet it also seemed as if he had made up his mind.

“Oh, right,” Li Yinyin suddenly remembered something and went to get a book. “Big brother, look here.”

"The book says that every winter, when food is scarce in the mountains, wild animals are likely to come down from the mountains to attack livestock and even injure people."

“Although nothing like this has happened in our village in recent years, didn’t the hunters in the west kill a tiger a few years ago? That shows that there are large wild animals in the mountains near the village.”

"Brother, should we set up sentry posts to facilitate early prevention?"

Li Chengming was pleased that his younger sister could offer such an opinion simply by reading a book, and readily agreed: "It's not snowing yet. I'll go and have someone survey the location and build the sentry post in a bit. I'll make sure it's done before the first snowfall."

There is plenty of good wood in the mountains and forests. The main expense in building a wooden house is manpower.

She only had to find a random excuse, but her older brother took her suggestion to heart and acted on it. Li Yinyin felt very happy to be valued like this.

Sure enough, she likes her eldest brother and sister-in-law the most!

Although she hoped to survive, what she wanted even more was for her family to live happily together!

Li Chengming acted swiftly, and his men were even more efficient. In just a few days, they had built outposts at several checkpoints.

These locations were chosen strategically, allowing not only observation of animals coming down from the mountains but also control over the entire village and the surrounding areas.

After the sentry post was repaired, Li Yinyin, using her telescope, went up to a nearby post to take a look and was very satisfied.

Before leaving, she glanced casually in the direction of the Xi family before putting away her clairvoyance and following her brother.

"Brother, it's almost my sister-in-law's birthday. Do you have any plans? Do you need my help?"

“No need,” Li Chengming said confidently. “Just don’t bother me when the time comes.”

Li Yinyin pouted in dissatisfaction: "Fine, I'll go play with Niu Niu then, leaving the mansion for you two to enjoy yourselves."

Li Chengming coughed lightly, but did not refuse: "I will have someone prepare more snacks and food for you to take with you."

Li Yinyin immediately smiled and said, "I want to eat pea flour cake that isn't too sweet, and Niu Niu likes candied hawthorn!"

“Yes, yes,” Li Chengming instructed her, “It’s cold, so don’t eat too much, or you’ll get a stomachache.”

"No way," Li Yinyin said, turning the telescope in her hand. Suddenly, her eyelashes felt heavy.

She reached out and touched it, feeling only a slight chill. As if this had triggered some kind of signal, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, soon covering her hands and hair with white.

"Brother, it's snowing! Come on, let's hurry back to find sister-in-law. The first snowfall is the perfect time for mutton hot pot!"

Li Chengming was pushed forward by her, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

After the brother and sister led the people away, a person suddenly appeared behind a big tree. It was Mu Xianyun, who had come to the mountain for some unknown reason.

Mu Xianyun recalled Li Yinyin's bright eyes and the sugar-like frosting on her head and eyelids, and his heart began to race. But he quickly suppressed his unusual reaction and hurried down the mountain.

Since the outposts were set up in the mountains, they have indeed helped the village avoid several risks, and even rescued a villager who was injured in the mountains. This has led the villagers of Shangshui, who were initially somewhat unaccustomed to the situation, to take the initiative to participate in the maintenance and patrol of the outposts.

However, the establishment of outposts was not without its drawbacks. For the western hunter, the more people came and went to change shifts, the more timid animals in the mountains would venture deeper into the mountains, which made hunting quite inconvenient for him.

After thinking about it for a few days, the western hunter and his family came to pay their respects for the New Year and request an audience with Li Chengming, saying that they wanted their family to take charge of the sentry post closest to their home.

After listening, Li Chengming did not reply immediately, but looked at Li Yinyin and said, "Yinyin, tell me your thoughts."

“My thoughts?” Li Yinyin disregarded the tension of the Xi family members opposite her. “If it were up to me, I would naturally not agree to hand over that outpost to the Xi hunters for their own management.”

"Why?" Xi Jiangyue immediately questioned, "Could it be...could it be because of me and Brother Yun..."

"Come on," Li Yinyin rolled her eyes. "Just because you think he's a treasure doesn't mean everyone has to covet him."

“I disagree, solely for the sake of the village.”

“Brother, the outpost near the West Hunter’s house is the one deepest into the mountains. It should be the first line of defense for observing wild animals in the village, and to a certain extent, it can also detect problems in time and maintain the safety of the West family.”

Xi Jiangyue couldn't help but interject, "But nothing has ever happened to my family. We can take care of ourselves."

"Shut up," Li Yinyin said coldly. "I'm talking to my older brother, why are you interrupting?"

"You!" Xi Jiangyue stood up, but was pulled back by her parents.

Li Yinyin then continued to say to her elder brother, "That place is very important. If the Xi family has many people, they can take care of it. But there are only three people in the Xi family. How can they guard the sentry post day and night without affecting their own daily life?"

This was a very real problem, and it left the hunters in a state of silence.

“I can do it,” Xi Jiangyue said firmly. “My father and I will take turns guarding it, and we will definitely be able to hold it!”

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Yinyin's eyes. She had already said all that, yet she still insisted. Was this the heroine's tenacity?

I really can't agree with that.

“Little Moon,” unlike his daughter’s firmness, the hunter was quite pragmatic and knew when to back down. “Miss Li is right. My family is small and we really can’t take care of one sentry post. It is right that Master Li does not agree to my request.”

The hunters quickly led the unhappy Xi Jiangyue away. Li Yinyin said with some surprise, "I don't think the hunters are unreasonable people, so why is their daughter so reckless?"

"Even if she dared to stand guard alone, how could the Western Hunters dare to leave her alone so close to the forest?"

Not only the wild animals in the mountains and forests, but also the fact that if outsiders knew that only a young woman was guarding that outpost, what terrible things might happen to Xi Jiangyue if she harbored evil intentions? Didn't she even consider that? That was the farthest place from the village!

“Perhaps she’s too young,” Yu Qiaoyun said, disliking Xi Jiangyue’s attitude toward Li Yinyin. “Some people only learn from their mistakes. Yinyin, don’t follow her example.”

Li Yinyin nodded. Her sister-in-law was really good at judging people. In the drama, Xi Jiangyue grew from a hunter's daughter to a princess, and was loved by everyone. It was only because countless people paid the price of their lives that she learned her lesson and gradually grew up to be cautious and smart.

However, this time, the Li family will not be among those who pay the price for their lives, nor will Shangshui Village be among them!

Let Xi Jiangyue make the sacrifices herself. Even if she becomes outstanding in the future, why should she grow up just because she hears the news and sheds a few tears?

Don't other people's lives matter?
