Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Although she hadn't received guidance from the fortune teller in the past six months, Li Yinyin had improved her speed through hard work. Now, using the new destiny chart, her fingers flew across the paper, creating a dazzling display.

Before long, Li Yinyin stopped what she was doing.

She stared at the horoscope for a while, then smiled and said, "Although the calculated time isn't very precise, sister-in-law, we'll definitely be able to spend next year's Reunion Festival together."

"That's good," Yu Qiaoyun said, withdrawing her hand. "A family can only be truly reunited when they are all together."

Li Yinyin nodded, tidied up the horoscope, and thought of the fortune teller who came in this morning. She felt a little regretful: "When will I be able to train like my master, so precise that he can enter the door at the exact moment?"

"How many years has the fortune teller been practicing? And how long have you been learning?" Yu Qiaoyun didn't want to see her sigh, so she pointed out a few things. "These festival gifts are to be sent to the village chief's house. Go and make the trip."

Li Yinyin agreed and went out the door first.

But she forgot to do the math before leaving the house.

As Li Yinyin reached the door, she remembered that she had to wait for the maid who was following her, so she stopped and heard a rather familiar voice.

"I told you not to come. I'm already engaged and we're getting married next year. If you come looking for me like this, people will misunderstand!"

Li Yinyin peeked through the crack in the door and saw Xi Jiangyue and Yin Hong standing under the large willow tree not far away. The female voice she had just heard was clearly Xi Jiangyue's.

Li Yinyin sighed and muttered to herself, "What bad luck, running into these two. It's New Year's Eve, don't they need to have a family reunion?"

Under the tree, Yin Hong grabbed Xi Jiangyue, who was about to turn and leave, his face showing a hint of annoyance: "What misunderstanding? When you were in my courtyard before, when we ate and lived together, why didn't you say there was a misunderstanding?"

"What do you mean by eating and living together? Don't talk nonsense," Xi Jiangyue glanced nervously in the direction of the village entrance. "I am very grateful to you for saving me back then, but you can't ruin my reputation with such words!"

"Is that so?" Yin Hong forced the retreating Xi Jiangyue against the willow tree trunk. He braced himself against the trunk with one hand, his face close to Xi Jiangyue's. "You dare say you don't have me in your heart?"

Xi Jiangyue turned her face away and looked at the distant mountains: "So what if I have one, so what if I don't? You are a high and mighty general, and your future wife will be Miss Zheng or Miss Wang, but definitely not me."

“If I say it’s true, it is,” Yin Hong pinched her cheek, forcing her to face him. “Don’t you want to work hard for our future?”

Xi Jiangyue stared at him for a long time, and the distance between them grew closer and closer, and the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous.

Just as Li Yinyin thought they were going to kiss, Xi Jiangyue suddenly pushed Yin Hong away, saying, "Little General, my future husband will only be Mu Xianyun. I love him very much. There is no future for you and me."

After saying this, Xi Jiangyue ran away without hesitation, leaving Yin Hong angrily punching the willow tree: "Mu Xianyun, right? I'll remember this!"

After Yin Hong left, Li Yinyin waited a while before she relaxed her stiff posture and ordered someone to open the door.

After leaving the mansion, Li Yinyin didn't go directly to the village. Instead, she curiously walked around the willow tree outside the gate, muttering to herself with some doubt: "You're not that strong, so why do you all treat your house like a hidden sanctuary, subconsciously ignoring the fact that people might come and go from my house at any time?"

"How about I move you to the riverbank next spring? You're right in front of my house, and I'm always running into people I don't want to see!"

As she spoke, Li Yinyin reached out and gently tugged at the bald willow branch. Almost instantly, a clump of snow fell from the tree, hitting her head and face. If she hadn't been wearing a cloak and had put on her hood when she went out, she would have had to hurry back to change her clothes.

"Pah, pah, pah!" Li Yinyin looked at the willow tree in front of her in disbelief. "Yin Hong punched you and you didn't move, but I just tugged at a branch and you pull this on me!"

She aimed carefully, kicked the tree trunk, and ran away quickly. The remaining snow fell from the tree, but this time, Li Yinyin wasn't affected at all.

The maid who had just followed her out didn't hear what she had been muttering. She only saw her playing in the snow like a kitten with its claws outstretched. She couldn't help but smile and reminded her, "Miss, we still have to go to the village chief's house. We can't play for too long."

"Oh," Li Yinyin stopped smiling smugly, almost forgetting that she was waiting for someone.

However, the person who should have caught up with him immediately after he came out only did so after Yin Hong and Xi Jiangyue had both left. It has to be said, this strange influence is still incredibly powerful!

Li Yinyin led the way, heading towards the village chief's house with practiced ease, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.

If that influence remains this strong until the end of the story, then will the disaster in Sheung Shui Village only be resolved if the entire village is relocated to the eldest brother's jurisdiction?

No, it's hard to say.

The eldest brother received a hint from the fortune teller that he would most likely take the initiative to help the villagers relocate in the future, but the only ones willing to believe and listen to him are probably the relatives of the Li family.

Without sufficient mutual benefit and trust, outsiders would never abandon their family's established businesses and land in Shangshui Village. But why should their elder brother, besides relatives, offer them so much benefit and then save their lives?

Although saving a life is said to be more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, Li Yinyin couldn't bear to see her older brother suffer too much. Besides, some people are only greedy and insatiable, and will never appreciate kindness.

As for the Western Hunters, they were even less likely to leave because of their daughter.

Therefore, the danger to Shangshui Village may still exist; the only difference is how many people will survive.

Li Yinyin's head was throbbing, so she temporarily gave up thinking about it. It would be several years before Xi Jiangyue and Yin Hong could successfully get together.

Who knows if the villagers will all be willing to listen to their elder brother and migrate to other places together?

Once she stopped thinking about it, her headache almost immediately disappeared.

Noticing the change, Li Yinyin's expression shifted slightly, but she quickly put on an innocent smile again.

She went to the village chief's house and got a few freshly fried sugar cakes before politely declining the village chief's offer to stay for dinner and going straight home.

As soon as she entered her own gate, Li Yinyin rushed to the courtyard where the fortune teller lived: "Master! Master! Your good disciple needs help!"

Not seeing the fortune teller in the courtyard, Li Yinyin looked around and quietly pushed open the door to the west wing.

The original furnishings in the room had long been moved elsewhere, and it had now become the fortune teller's workshop, where he was slowly grinding stones.

The half-immortal poured some warm water on the stone to wash away the dirt on its surface, revealing the warm and lustrous jade underneath. Without turning his head, he said, "Even in the face of great calamity, one must maintain composure. Only in this way can one find a way to turn the tide."

"You've forgotten what I told you before."

Li Yinyin stopped in her tracks: "But Master, when I was thinking about something deeply just now, I got a headache, but as soon as I stopped thinking about it, the headache disappeared immediately. Does calming down... help?"
