Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Because she didn't know exactly which day would be the day Xi Jiangyue rescued Yin Hong, Li Yinyin often had to find excuses to go to the sentry post.

As she visited the outposts more often, she realized how hard it was to guard them, so she suggested that her brother equip each outpost with a stove. Before each visit, she would also prepare extra food and snacks to send over.

As a result, her reputation in Shangshui Village improved significantly, and people would smile and talk to her wherever she went.

Because of her persistent efforts to climb the mountain, she finally discovered Yin Hong, who was being chased, on a winter day when a sudden heavy snowfall prevented her from leaving her post in time.

Seeing Yin Hong lying on the snow, Li Yinyin made no attempt to call for help. She realized that no one else, besides herself, had noticed Yin Hong's predicament.

This familiar feeling made her heart sink.

What could possibly have caused so many sentries to not even glance in that direction for such a long time, thus missing out on Yin Hong's matter entirely?

No, not at all. Xi Jiangyue discovered it and rushed over.

Just as Li Yinyin was about to put away her clairvoyance, she accidentally discovered someone who shouldn't be there—Mu Xianyun.

How did he get there?

As someone who only watches dramas, she didn't know the exact time and place of the event and could only try her luck. How come Mu Xianyun seemed to have foreseen the future, arriving nearby in advance and even knowing where to hide?

Li Yinyin narrowed her eyes. Perhaps the long-held guess could be put to rest: this Mu Xianyun was most likely reborn.

"Yinyin," came the elder brother's voice from outside the sentry post.

Li Yinyin finally snapped out of her daze and looked towards the door: "Big brother, you've come to pick me up!"

It happened to be one of the Li family's elders on guard duty. Looking at the brother and sister, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're finally cheering up! Yinyin was just feeling down because she found out that the heavy snow meant she couldn't leave!"

Clearly, the old man had misunderstood Li Yinyin's earlier silence.

She didn't explain, only muttering to herself with a heavy heart, "I'm not unhappy at all."

"Alright, alright, you're not upset," the old man waved his hand, telling them to be careful going down the mountain. "Tell the third son's son not to come up the mountain tonight to relieve me. The snow is thick and difficult to walk on, so don't fall. Come back tomorrow morning!"

“Well, you’re too late,” a young man popped out from the back of the group. “Lord, you should go down the mountain with my second cousin and the others. I’ll be there for you!”

The lord hesitated for a moment, then didn't refuse again: "Alright, then it's up to you. Just be careful with the fire, don't let it go out. It'll be freezing cold without a fire in this weather!"

The group slowly descended the mountain and went their separate ways. Only then did Li Yinyin find her older brother.

“Brother,” Li Yinyin said, sounding nervous and somewhat apprehensive, “I…I discovered someone today.”

Li Chengming had always thought his sister was in low spirits earlier because he was late, but he didn't expect there to be something else: "Who did you find?"

"Brother, do you remember that young master we met in Qiuli? I just saw him. He was being chased and then hid in the mountains."

Li Yinyin clutched her purse tightly: "But brother, we have several outposts in the mountains. If we had discovered anything unusual, someone should have sent a message and rushed to check. But from beginning to end, no one sent any signal."

“I used my telescopic vision to check, and everyone at each post was dutifully guarding their posts and did not abandon their duties. But what they had in common was that, at that time, no one glanced at where that young master was.”

"Brother, tell me, how strange is this? Everyone was looking over there at the same time."

"This...this can't be a ghost! Should we call someone back to take a look?"

Li Chengming's brow furrowed deeply: "Is he still there?"

Li Yinyin shook her head: "I saw him being rescued by Xi Jiangyue. After he was rescued by Xi Jiangyue, he didn't stay in the same place, and the guards at various posts in our village are all back to normal."

Seeing his uneasy sister, Li Chengming couldn't help but give her a hug: "Don't worry, I'll look into this."

"Since the young master has already been rescued, let's pretend we don't know anything about this. Yinyin, you didn't see anything either, understand?"

Li Yinyin gave a muffled "okay".

Li Chengming breathed a sigh of relief and then said to her, "These days, you shouldn't go out. Only you and Xijiangyue discovered the young master, which is really unusual. Be sure not to let outsiders know about this."

After Li Yinyin agreed again, Li Chengming led her to the main courtyard.

"Madam, I have to go on a long trip."

Yu Qiaoyun asked with some surprise, "The New Year is almost here, why are you suddenly leaving? Has something happened to your business outside?"

Li Chengming shook his head: "There are some things I need to ask the fortune teller about. While I'm away, I'll have Yinyin stay with you in the main courtyard."

Upon hearing that he wanted to find a fortune teller, Yu Qiaoyun became serious and immediately went to prepare his luggage for his trip.

Seeing her brother and sister-in-law's attitude, Li Yinyin asked, "Brother, who is the fortune teller? Why do you and sister-in-law seem to know him and trust him so much?"

“Half-Immortal is a friend of your sister-in-law and me,” Li Chengming said with a strange expression. “We initially thought he was a hoodlum, but later we found out that he wasn’t incompetent; it’s just that his predictions were always accurate, so we gave him the nickname ‘Half-Immortal.’”

"That's amazing?" Li Yinyin was a little incredulous. "Then why did you go to see him, brother?"

“I’ll have him calculate what you told me,” Li Chengming sighed. “If he predicts something bad for us, we’ll have to think of a solution.”

Li Yinyin couldn't help but glance at him sideways. How clever!

Since the good predictions don't come true but the bad ones do, then we should disregard all the good predictions and only believe the bad ones, avoiding them as much as possible.

The eldest brother is truly knowledgeable; no wonder he's been able to build such a large and successful business, and his whole family is wealthy.

"Big brother," Li Yinyin said, somewhat tempted, "What are the living conditions of this person you mentioned? Why don't we invite him back and let the whole village see him? We'll pay him extra!"

Since he could foresee the bad outcome, he made a definitive prediction: the entire village would face certain death.

Does that mean Li Yinyin doesn't have to think about so many complicated things anymore?

Sure enough, she truly lives up to her brother's reputation as his sister; she's just as clever!
