Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi's eyes lit up; Ayu was actually concerned about him.

The sadness of parting had lessened considerably, and Akahoshi still couldn't help but ask:

Where do you live? Can I come to see you tomorrow?

Gu Yuzhi pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said, "It's at the foot of the back mountain, that bigger courtyard is it."

Seeing that it wasn't too far away, Akahoshi was thinking about when to go and take a look when he heard a voice behind him.

"Little Red, why are you standing at the door?"

Cheng Li had noticed this tall boy long ago. He was tall and handsome, but a bit too young. However, it wasn't a bad idea to give it a try.

When Akahoshi saw Gu Yu opposite him, Akahoshi clearly saw Cheng Li's eyes light up.

A handsome young man approached with a smile: "Is this your new friend? Hello, my name is Cheng Li."

Gu Yuzhi nodded: "Gu Yuzhi."

After saying that, he looked at Akahoshi and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you don't understand anything, you can come and find me."

Akahoshi nodded quickly: "Go back now."

He noticed that Gu Yuzhi had glanced at Cheng Li earlier, which made Chi Xing tremble with fear.

If Ayu falls in love with Cheng Li, just like in the original story...

Then he'll take Cheng Li to the mountains to feed the wolves tonight.

Cheng Li only looked away after Gu Yuzhi had walked far away.

"I never expected there to be such a handsome guy in this village. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

Chixing glanced at him, turned around and went back to the courtyard, too lazy to pay him any attention.

He needs to hurry up and make Ayu like him.

This was the first time 250 had seen Akahoshi so anxious, and the little black cat was secretly amused in Akahoshi's mind.

Then, because she couldn't help but laugh and roll around, Akahoshi noticed her, and the little black cat's fur got electrocuted again.

250:X﹏X.

In the kitchen, the female educated youth were cooking with great enthusiasm, while Chixing was in charge of fetching water, and Cheng Li was among those fetching water.

Several people carried buckets to the well, where a few aunties and older women were chatting.

Upon seeing several newly arrived educated youth, he greeted them warmly.

It was at this moment that they saw a tall, strong man carrying buckets of water coming over.

The man had a cold and hard appearance, wore a simple vest, had a buzz cut, and a stubble around his chin.

Those muscular arms, paired with his wheat-colored skin, made him look every bit the rugged, tough guy.

"Oh, Gu Ye is here to fetch water too," an old woman said.

Gu Ye hummed in response, his voice deep and resonant, a true blessing for those who appreciate a captivating voice.

Of course, these were all Cheng Li's thoughts.

Ever since Gu Ye appeared, Cheng Li's eyes have never left him.

Chixing quietly moved away from this person. Her mother had said that mental retardation was contagious.

Cheng Li took the initiative to go to the well to draw water. She filled the whole bucket and then lifted it up with her thin arm. The bucket of water did not leave the ground at all.

He seemed extremely frustrated and tried again, but still failed.

Just then, the rough-looking man stepped forward, helped lift the bucket, and poured half of it into Cheng Li's other bucket.

"You don't need to fill the water container to the brim," he said expressionlessly.

Cheng Li's face was flushed, and she looked flattered.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Gu Ye didn't say anything and went to the well to draw water by himself.

Cheng Li carried the water to Chi Xing's side and whispered, "Little Chi, let me exchange buckets with you. You can take this one back first."

Chixing glanced at his two half-baked answers and decisively shook his head.

"I will do it myself."

Another educated youth, Wang Zhuoying, who was watching from the side, immediately said, "I'll do it."

Cheng Li handed the load to him: "Then you do it."

After saying that, he picked up Wang Zhuoying's bucket and walked towards the well again.

Wang Zhuoying carried the two half-buckets of water away, and Chixing indeed heard Cheng Li speaking with a wronged tone over there.

"He wanted to hurry, so we let him go back first. It's okay."

Gu Ye frowned at him and said disapprovingly, "They'll have to do these things sooner or later after they go to the countryside. You can't keep helping them forever."

Cheng Li smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's a small matter. We've just arrived here, so it's only right that we take care of each other."

Gu Ye filled two more buckets of water for him, this time with less water than the previous two buckets.

Akahoshi couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Only after the two left with the water did Akahoshi go to the well to fetch water.

This was originally a team effort involving men and women. His task was to fill two buckets with water, and he actually filled two buckets to the brim.

If everyone slacks off, will we even have dinner?

Having worked as a hunter before, Akahoshi knew how to carry water. However, after arriving here, his body changed, and his skin became delicate. After carrying water for a while, his shoulders started to burn.

A person approached from afar, and Akahoshi quickly shifted the load in his hands, making his walk even more difficult.

"Akahoshi? Why did you fill the water so full?"

Gu Yuzhi frowned slightly when he saw his clumsy water-carrying posture.

Akahoshi didn't stop, but continued walking forward, only saying:

"This is my task for today. Anyway, I'll get back to it now."

He quickened his pace, feeling glad he had filled the water container. He wanted to make a good impression on Ayu and let her know that he was much better than that other person.

Akahoshi guessed correctly.

Gu Yuzhi frowned because along the way, he saw Cheng Li carrying a small half-full bucket of water, but when he arrived at Chixing, he had two full buckets.

She couldn't help but think that Cheng Li was deliberately bullying Chi Xing.

Either Cheng Li is a cunning and lazy person, while Chi Xing only knows how to work honestly.

Looking back in the direction where Chixing had left, Gu Yuzhi's goodwill towards Chixing increased dramatically.

Cheng Li was unaware that the backup option she had chosen was feeling sorry for someone else.

Since arriving here, he has met several handsome men, but Gu Ye is the one he is most satisfied with so far.

If he could, he would like to find someone like Gu Ye to live with.

Before he transmigrated, he was gay and had read a lot of online novels. He knew that rough, unrefined men from the village were the most affectionate, and once they fell in love, it would last a lifetime.

Cheng Li, who longs for beautiful love, fantasizes about finding her own rough and tough guy in this world.

He ranked the people he encountered, with Gu Ye as his first choice, Gu Yuzhi as his second choice, and Chi Xing as his second choice... He was worried that Chi Xing would be the same person as him.

Considering Akahoshi's height, he probably hasn't fully grown yet. Let's see in a few years.

Lost in his own fantasy, Lin Dong and two other former educated youths walked out of the kitchen.

"Who will fetch the water? There's too little. Fetch it again. We agreed that each person would carry one load, so don't be lazy."

Cheng Li looked puzzled: "Chi Xing hasn't returned yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xing walked in from the doorway, carrying two full buckets of water, which made the other old educated youths' expressions a little better.

“You two need to do it like Xiao Chi. You need to go and pick more water, or make more trips, otherwise there won’t be enough,” Lin Dong said.

Cheng Li clicked her tongue lightly, not wanting to go but also not wanting to get into a conflict with these people, so she could only reluctantly go to fetch water again.
