Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The wild boar's sharp tusks pierced the black bear's abdomen, and the black bear's claws tore the wild boar's jaw apart.

Blood splattered in the pit, and Gu Yuzhi thought they might be able to reap the benefits.

Before long, they heard the wild boar's cries of agony, as the black bear's teeth were biting down hard on the back of the boar's neck.

The wild boar fought back fiercely, rampaging wildly in the pit, leaving the black bear dazed and confused.

Gu Yuzhi and Chi Xing listened to the sound from a short distance away.

After a while, the howling of the wild boars inside subsided considerably, and the black bear began to struggle to climb out of the pit.

As the two approached, they saw that the wild boar inside was on its last legs, barely breathing.

The black bear had a bloody hole pierced in its abdomen; even if it crawled out, it wouldn't live long.

As Gu Yuzhi approached, the black bear sensed the unfamiliar presence and let out a threatening roar.

Unable to climb out, he fell back in. Looking at the situation in the pit, Gu Yuzhi chose the latter option: either keep the wild boar or leave the black bear behind as well.

He told Akahoshi to step back, and as the black bear climbed up again, he brought his axe down straight down.

The axe struck the black bear's neck, and blood splattered onto Gu Yuzhi's clothes.

The black bear swung its paw at Gu Yuzhi, but before it could touch him, it fell back into the pit.

After several attempts, the black bear was unable to get up again.

Once the two wild animals were completely immobilized, Gu Yuzhi took an axe and went down to tie them up with ropes.

After climbing up, the two of them dragged the wild beast out together.

The black bear weighed about 400 pounds, while the wild boar was heavier than the black bear.

Gu Yuzhi didn't intend to take them down the mountain. Together with Chi Xing, they dragged the two wild beasts to a spot not far from the roadside, and he went back to pull the cart.

“I’ll go instead; your clothes are covered in blood,” Akahoshi suggested.

It's not dark yet. If Gu Yuzhi goes down the mountain like this, people will definitely guess what's going on if they see him.

Gu Yuzhi had no choice but to nod and ask him to bring her a piece of clothing.

Akahoshi moved quickly and ran into her grandmother on her way home.

He only said that he had caught prey and was going to sell it in the county town, and that he might be back later.

I didn't mention wild boars or black bears, for fear of scaring Grandma and making her worry.

Grandma nodded and said softly, "Then go quickly, I'll cook for you."

"Grandma will rest after eating; she doesn't need to wait for us."

After saying that, Akahoshi pulled the cart away.

The same wild animal was sold to Guan Hong, but this time the black bear fetched a higher price, had recently died, and its pelt was in good condition.

Bear bile and bear paws are both good things.

If it weren't for the time constraints, Gu Yuzhi wouldn't have planned to sell the entire bear.

There was little haggling involved in this transaction, and it was the first time Gu Yuzhi had ever spent so much money. Including the wild boar, he sold it for a total of five thousand yuan.

Bears are wild animals that usually live deep in the mountains, and if you accidentally encounter one, you will die.

There's always been a high price but no market for it; a fully grown black bear like this could easily fetch several thousand dollars.

In addition to the five thousand yuan, Guan Hong also gave them half a pig.

These were originally intended to be sold early tomorrow morning, but they were just slaughtered, and Gu Yuzhi and his group arrived just in time.

After packing the money, Gu Yuzhi and Chi Xing rushed home that very night.

All the way, Gu Yuzhi kept the money in Chi Xing's arms and pulled the cart himself.

As the moonlight shone down, Gu Yuzhi looked at his own shadow on the ground, feeling as if he were walking on cotton, so unreal.

"I'll pull the cart."

Chixing handed the bundle in his arms to Gu Yuzhi and then grabbed the handlebars.

"All right."

Gu Yuzhi was extremely well-behaved on the way back, clutching the money tightly in her arms.

Back home, Gu Yuzhi stared blankly at the large stack of money on the bed.

This was the first time Chi Xing had seen Gu Yuzhi like this, and she felt both happy for him and heartbroken.

He hugged Gu Yuzhi and said with a smile:

"Ayu is amazing, she earned so much in just one day."

Yes, there's five thousand yuan here, and with the money he saved before, it's almost six thousand.

"Star, this is the first time I've ever seen so much money."

He picked up stacks of large denomination bills and looked at them, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Let's split the money, half for each of us."

Chixing was the first to disagree: "Ayu, you are my wife now, what's mine is yours."

Gu Yuzhi's mind went blank for a moment: "But, but this is money."

It's not five or ten dollars, it's five thousand dollars.

The largest denomination in this era was ten yuan, so five thousand yuan really seemed like a lot.

Chi Xing understood Gu Yuzhi very well. He put all the money together and said with a smile, "Yes, this is our family's money. From now on, Ayu will keep it safe."

As he spoke, he took out the five hundred yuan from his bag.

Some of these were things he brought with him when he went to the countryside, and some were things he found in the wild deer, which Gu Yuzhi gave to him.

"Oh, right, here's a remittance slip for two hundred yuan."

Chi Xing placed the money and tickets into Gu Yuzhi's hand and said earnestly:

"These are all our banknotes, you must keep them safe."

Gu Yuzhi looked at the money in his hand, then at Chixing, and stammered:

"You...you're not going to find a wife in the future?"

He had never seen two men together. Could Akahoshi really go his whole life without ever finding a woman to marry?

It's not that he doesn't believe in Akasei; it's that he lives in an era where the prevailing ideology is that men should marry and have children.

He can manage to do it without asking others, but he's not sure if Akahoshi can.

Chi Xing's expression changed, and she said seriously, "You are my wife, and you are my husband. I will not look for anyone else. I will live with you from now on."

"What about your family..."

This is what Gu Yuzhi is most worried about: if Chi Xing were to go against her family for her sake, or even be kicked out of her family.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't do it. He didn't want Xingxing to do these things for him; that wasn't what Gu Yuzhi wanted.

"I will try my best to persuade them, and our family has never had any concept of carrying on the family line, so don't worry."

As for Gu Yuzhi's grandmother, it's unclear whether she has noticed anything.

After Chi Xing came here, he often used his divine power to secretly help the old woman recover her health, and Yang Guixiang's health improved more and more.

I think I should be able to handle it by then.

Gu Yuzhi also felt that his grandmother could accept it. They had lived together for so many years. If his grandmother really valued those things, she would have found someone to look after him long ago.

But no, Grandma always said that she wanted to find someone she liked to marry.

"Don't overthink it. Things will work themselves out. They'll all accept it."

Chixing didn't want Gu Yuzhi to worry about these things, so she pulled him onto her lap and buried her face in his shoulder.

“Ayu, no matter what, you can’t abandon me. I’m already yours, you can’t be a heartless man.”

Gu Yuzhi was amused by his aggrieved tone and gently patted his back with his rough hands.

"Okay, no matter what, I will not leave you."

The premise is that Akahoshi won't betray him. If Akahoshi really finds a woman in the future, who knows what he might do.
