Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

However, she was quickly separated from the village chief and his husband. Widow Liu was beautiful, and the women and husbands in the village were wary of their husbands getting close to her, including the village chief and his husband.

The village chief's husband said, "Sister Liu, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. This matter is beyond the jurisdiction of the government."

One of the men laughed and said, "I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Once that burden is gone, won't Widow Liu be able to remarry?"

Those around him thought this made sense.

Liu Guihua looks to be only in her early thirties. Even though she hasn't had a good life these past few years, she still looks better than most farmers.

Old Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and she became even more determined to sell Liu Yu, so that she could still get Liu Guihua's dowry money in the future.

"What's all the fuss about? This is my grandson. I can sell him if I want. Chen Xu is gone, so this family listens to me." Old Mrs. Chen's voice was sharp and sarcastic.

Liu Yu fell into the river yesterday and developed a fever last night. She is still delirious.

He heard his mother crying outside the door and thought someone was bullying her again. He was furious and quickly got up to go out.

But he had a terrible headache, and forced himself to go outside, where the doorway was crowded with people.

When Old Mrs. Chen saw Liu Yu come out, her face was full of disdain.

One of the guys looked like a real man, tall and dark-skinned, with a barely visible birthmark, which made him look disgusting.

But she still had to sell him, so of course she couldn't say such things. She looked at Liu Yu and said, "Brother Yu, you've come out just in time. Someone will come and take you away soon."

Holding the indenture in her hand, she instructed her two sons to go over and have Liu Yu sign it.

"No, you can't! That's my son! What right do you have?"

Liu Guihua rushed over and hugged Liu Yu, but a woman's strength is no match for a man's.

As the group pushed and shoved, Liu Yu saw her fingers being pressed onto the paper, her vision blurred, and she fainted.

Akahoshi arrived just in time to witness this scene. He was about to intervene when he heard 250 say, "Your Highness, don't move. You're out of money."

【So what?】 Chi Xing stood in the crowd, coldly watching as Old Madam Chen had Liu Guihua and Liu Yu separated.

250 hurriedly replied: "You're the buyer."

Akahoshi flipped through his memories, and it really was true.

The original owner was a rough hunter from the mountains, with a burly build and an ugly appearance. He couldn't find a wife, so he had to find a way to buy one.

Unable to find a suitable match at the county town's brokerage, the original owner happened to see the Chen family telling the broker they wanted to sell a young man named Liu Yu.

He was just as ugly as Liu Yu, and the original owner felt that he and Liu Yu were a good match. Moreover, Liu Yu was a capable man, and it would be good to buy him as a husband.

Old Mrs. Chen initially offered ten taels of silver, but the original owner disagreed and lowered the price to five taels. If he seems to care now, he might raise the price again.

The original owner of this body used all her money to bury her master, and now she only has a dozen or so taels of silver left in her family.

But before he could buy his husband, he accidentally fell off a cliff while hunting in the mountains yesterday and died.

After Akahoshi arrived, his body automatically transformed into the same form as the original. The original body disappeared, and his soul went to the underworld to report for duty. The system bureau would then help him fulfill his wish.

Now Akahoshi is in charge. Akahoshi has never been poor, so he doesn't know how to run a household. He can only try to save some money.

Someone was blocking the way. Akahoshi coughed, and his deep, resonant voice startled the person in front of him, making them turn around.

Upon seeing Akahoshi, everyone quickly moved aside.

Chixing's mother died early, and his father was a bodyguard. Once, when he was a teenager, he was killed by bandits while escorting goods. Chixing returned with injuries, and his face was left with an ugly scar.

Later, he became an apprentice to an old hunter who spent his days hunting in the mountains. He was full of menacing aura, and the villagers would not approach him.

Chixing rarely went down the mountain, living with his master there until recently when his master passed away. Only then did Chixing go down the mountain to ask the villagers to help with the funeral arrangements.

Even now, when the villagers see him, they are still frightened by his appearance.

When Old Mrs. Chen saw Chi Xing arrive, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you've come at the right time. This is my Yu-ge'er. We agreed on five taels of silver."

Akahoshi glanced at the unconscious person on the ground with a look of disgust: "You didn't say he was a patient. If we buy this, we'll have to take him to a doctor. No way."

Just as Old Mrs. Chen was about to shout, seeing Chi Xing's tall figure and stern face, she took a deep breath and said:

"Oh dear, I didn't expect that either. It's nothing serious, just a minor cold. I'll be fine after drinking some hot water when I get home."

At this moment, 250 said in his mind: "Your Highness, hurry! Wang Zhou is coming. He has more money than you."

Upon hearing this, Akahoshi frowned and said with displeasure:

"Do you think I'm a fool? This guy is obviously delirious from illness. Two taels of silver, take it or leave it. Who knows if buying him will save him?"

He turned away disdainfully, as if impatient to leave. Seeing the money about to fly away, Old Mrs. Chen quickly said:

"Sell, sell, two taels of silver is fine."

Two taels of silver in the village is a lot of money; some women don't even receive two taels of silver as a bride price when they marry a young man.

Moreover, Liu Yu is ugly and has a faint birthmark, making her unable to have children, so there is no way she could get married.

Chixing snorted, threw two taels of silver at her, and took the indenture.

When Liu Guihua saw that it was Chixing who had bought her son, she almost fainted on the spot.

Akahoshi was extremely guilty; he wasn't that scary, was he?

250, who could see Akahoshi's appearance, was even more nervous than him; luckily, there were no mirrors here.

Liu Yu was seriously ill. Chi Xing walked over in a few steps without expression, bent down, picked up the person, and left.

Liu Guihua cried and tried to stop them, but was held back by her two sisters-in-law, and could only watch helplessly as Liu Yu was taken away.

Just as Chi Xing left, a young man dressed in a scholar's robe walked slowly from the east.

The young man had a fair complexion, exuded a scholarly air, and wore a smile, displaying a gentle and refined demeanor.

Some villagers would greet him with a smile when they saw him.

"It's Scholar Wang."

"Scholar Wang has arrived."

Wang Zhou smiled and nodded: "Hello, Auntie. I saw something was wrong here, so I came to take a look."

In fact, he brought five taels of silver with him today, intending to buy Liu Yu and Liu Guihua together.

However, once they got there, they realized something was wrong.

As the villagers gradually dispersed, Wang Zhou frowned. What was going on?

He quickened his pace, and there was only Liu Guihua crying in the courtyard; Old Lady Chen had already left with her people.

Wang Zhou almost lost his smile. He quickly grabbed a man walking by and asked, "Da Niu, what happened just now?"

Da Niu was just there to watch the fun. He scratched his head and said, "It's that Yu Ge'er. Old Lady Chen sold him to the Red Hunter."

"What? It's already sold? How could this be?" Wang Zhou seemed incredulous.

Da Niu, always straightforward, saw that he didn't believe him and said loudly, "How could I lie to you? The Red Hunter has already taken the man away."
