Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

One of the voices sounded familiar; it was none other than Cheng Li, whom I had just seen that morning.

"Brother Liu Yong, thank you for saving me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Liu Yong is an honest and simple young man who is usually a good worker. Now that he has nothing to do, he goes up the mountain to chop firewood.

It's not surprising that you could run into Liu Yong on the mountain. What's strange is why Cheng Li also came up the mountain alone.

Judging from their conversation, it was clear that Cheng Li had fallen into a trap set by someone else, and Liu Yong had rescued him.

“It’s alright. Why did Xiao Cheng, the educated youth, come up the mountain alone? It’s very dangerous up there.”

Cheng Li spoke in a pitiful tone:

“I… the other educated youths all went to the county town, and I was thinking of going up the mountain to collect some firewood.”

These words are ambiguous, but they easily lead people to think that the educated youth isolated Cheng Li, or even made Cheng Li go up the mountain alone to collect firewood.

Chi Xing and Gu Yuzhi exchanged a glance, both seeing a big question mark in each other's eyes.

According to Chi Xing's contact with people at the educated youth settlement, Lin Dong is clearly a very responsible person in charge.

While the other educated youth weren't particularly enthusiastic, sometimes clashed with others, and were a bit gossipy, they wouldn't collectively isolate any one person.

The educated youth came from the city, and only by uniting together could they avoid being bullied.

Therefore, Chi Xing did not believe what Cheng Li said.

He shook his head at Gu Yuzhi.

The two people were still talking, but Gu Yuzhi and Chixing weren't interested in listening. They tiptoed past and took the nearest mountain path down the mountain.

They had only gone halfway when they saw Gu Ye, who was also there to set a trap.

250 suddenly perked up: [Cheng Li was probably waiting for Gu Ye, but unexpectedly, she was rescued by Liu Yong who happened to be passing by.]

Akashi raised an eyebrow. These city folks are really something else.

Chi Xing released the little black cat from her sea of ​​consciousness, making sure Gu Yuzhi didn't see it, and threw the little black cat into the bushes.

Chixing said to 250: "Go keep an eye on Cheng Li. Let me know if they make any progress."

Now that I'm here, Cheng Li probably won't have a chance to get close to Gu Yuzhi anymore.

That way, Akahoshi won't be constantly watching those two people.

When they were rolling around in the cornfield, Akahoshi insisted on making them fight like dogs.

In the original storyline, Ayu was so frustrated that if he didn't seek justice for her, he would write the name Akahoshi backwards.

The little black cat darted quickly through the grass; it had become much bolder.

In the previous small world, it was thrown into the underworld and has been hanging around with Taotie Bai'er ever since, and they have explored the entire underworld.

250, who was originally afraid of ghosts, no longer needs to hide when he sees one.

Chi Xing and Gu Yu went down the mountain, tied up the wild deer, put it in a sack, and put it on a cart.

At this time, private buying and selling was not allowed, so they had to sell their goods on the black market.

Gu Yuzhi left Chixing at home, saying he could go by himself.

Chixing was naturally worried and insisted on going with him.

In the end, Gu Yuzhi gave in. Chi Xing kept looking at him with innocent big eyes, which made his heart ache.

"Tell me if you're tired, and we can stop and rest."

If all else fails, Gu Yuzhi can have Chixing sit on the cart; he can manage to pull it even if it's a bit of work.

As the two walked out into the sunset, Yang Guixiang stared blankly in the direction they had gone, her expression somewhat solemn.

After a while, he sighed softly and went back inside.

Gu Yuzhi led Chi Xing along the way, and it wasn't until it got dark that they arrived at the entrance of an alley.

Gu Yuzhi knocked on the door of one of the families and said something like a code, and the family led them inside.

The black market is closed. This is a place where you can buy things anytime. The owner's name is Guan Hong.

Upon hearing that there were live wild deer, Guan Hong personally went out to investigate.

"How big is the deer? Is it injured?"

Wild deer are incredibly fast runners, making them very difficult to capture alive. So, when Guan Hong and his henchman saw a perfectly healthy adult wild deer, they were both taken aback.

"Boss, this is a really good product. I won't sell it to you if you don't give me enough," Gu Yuzhi said.

He used to sell the wild animals he caught here. There are several places that buy wild animals, but Lao Guan can get a better price.

Guan Hong pondered for a moment, then stroked the deer's head again.

"Four hundred yuan, and I'll give you some other things as a bonus."

Gu Yuzhi's serious expression turned into a half-smile: "Boss, this isn't the first time I've done business with you. This price isn't fair."

"Hey, don't say that. I just received some things and spent some money. Why don't you pick something else?"

He opened the cabinet, and there were indeed some new things inside.

Gu Yuzhi immediately took a liking to a watch, which looked to be brand new.

Looking at Chi Xing's fair wrist, Gu Yuzhi's heart stirred slightly.

However, it still needs to be said.

"How about this, I don't need the stuff, I'll sell you the deer for five hundred."

Guan Hong panicked and opened all the cabinets:

“Young Gu, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Pick anything from here. I can only give you four hundred and fifty, that’s all.”

Gu Yuzhi reluctantly picked out the watch after careful consideration.

"Then let's take this watch. Is it new? I'll return it if it breaks."

Guan Hong immediately said, "This is a good product, guaranteed to be brand new. If it breaks, come find me and I'll replace it for you."

At that time, a new watch would cost at least tens of dollars, and some would cost hundreds. Gu Yuzhi agreed.

After selling all the wild deer, Gu Yuzhi pulled the cart and took Chixing home.

Throughout the entire process, Chi Xing was shielded behind Gu Yuzhi, as if anyone else would suffer a loss if they even glanced at him.

However, Akahoshi was happy to hide behind him.

"I'll share it with you when we get home. It's getting late. I'll buy you meat tomorrow."

Gu Yuzhi's voice was filled with pleasure; the deer had clearly been sold for a good price.

"Okay, Brother Yu can make the decision."

He listens to his wife in everything.

On the way back, Gu Yuzhi wanted Chixing to get in the car so he could pull Chixing along.

Akahoshi, of course, disagreed and even went to the front to help pull the cart.

Gu Yuzhi had no choice but to let him be.

Walking home under the moonlight, Yang Guixiang had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them.

"Grandma, you should go and rest after you finish eating. I'll wash the dishes later."

Grandma would usually be resting by this time, but she's staying up so late today to wait for them.

Yang Guixiang waved her hand: "It's alright, you should all go to sleep early, it's very late now."

As she left, Yang Guixiang smiled and looked at Chixing.

Akahoshi was puzzled. He guessed that his grandmother might have been looking at him more often because he was handsome.

Suddenly, I felt a cool sensation on my wrist.

A silver-white mechanical watch was worn on his wrist.

Gu Yuzhi carefully helped Chixing put on the watch, looked it over, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It looks great, and it fits you perfectly."

As he spoke, he took out the money again and divided it equally.

(Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you all a prosperous Year of the Snake, abundant blessings, all your wishes fulfilled, and good health!)
