Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Shen Yu had already guessed this outcome. A small black shadow darted out of his mind and followed Shen Guanquan's steps.

After turning to the corner, Shen Guanquan started cursing and swearing. He hadn't gone far when he tripped over something and fell into a stinking ditch behind a row of old houses.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ugh..."

Shen Guanquan fell and his face was covered in black, foul-smelling mud. The stench made him vomit before he could even cry out.

He tried to climb out, but the ditch wasn't wide. Unfortunately, he fell in with his upper body. Just as he got up, a sharp pain shot through his calf, and he fell back in.

Using his arms to prop himself up, Shen Guanquan tried to call for help, but apart from a few crowing chickens, there was no other response.

The people living in these houses all moved to new homes not long ago. The new homes are small buildings built collectively by the village, and all these old mud-brick houses are going to be replaced.

"Ouch, help!"

*

A large crowd had gathered in the village square to buy breakfast. After Shen Guanquan left, the others comforted Shen Yu.

"That family is just like that. You should stay away from them in the future. You've only been back for a few days. Don't wander around if you're not familiar with the village. Our countryside is not like the city."

"Yes, I heard there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the city, they can catch thefts, but we don't have any here."

Someone nearby asked curiously, "Really? My son also said he wanted to buy a surveillance camera for the family, one that can even talk."

"Oh dear, can I see you?"...

The older women started chatting amongst themselves, and the incident from earlier passed by without much concern.

However, everyone has their own standards, so when they went home, they told their children to stay away from Shen Guanquan's family.

Shen Yu bought two boxes of rice noodle rolls, several steamed buns, and two cups of soy milk.

On the way back, they ran into Xiao Hu's grandma next door. That grandma and Chi Xing's grandma were good friends. When she saw that Shen Yu was staying at Chi Xing's house, they even bought breakfast together and laughed happily.

"Here, take a few ears of corn back and cook them. Share them with Ah Xing. You can also call me Grandma."

Shen Yu didn't stand on ceremony with her. Most of the villagers were simple and honest. She took the corn and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Grandma Yang laughed happily: "Oh, you're welcome. The young man looks just like a celebrity on TV, and he has such a sweet tongue."

Nobody in this village ever says thank you. When picking vegetables from someone's house, they just say "thank you" and then bring some back next time, considering it a courtesy.

It's refreshing to suddenly hear someone speak fluent Mandarin and sweetly say thank you; it's not only novel but also endearing.

Shen Yu nodded, said goodbye, and inwardly wondered: [Was my voice really that sweet?]

Seeing the smile on the Immortal Lord's lips, 250 said against his will: "It's not that it's sweet, it's just that old people are like that when they see their grandchildren."

It's not that the immortal is young, but Grandma Yang's eldest grandson already has children, so in her eyes you are naturally younger than her eldest grandson.

Shen Yu was satisfied with the answer; as long as it wasn't sweet, it was fine. As a grown man, he always felt strange being described as sweet.

Back home, she ate breakfast with Akahoshi at the stone table in the yard. Akahoshi couldn't help but blush whenever she saw Shen Yu.

Just as Shen Yu was about to ask him, Chi Xing asked, "Brother, can I marry you?"

Shen Yu: "Cough cough cough..."

He almost choked to death on a mouthful of soy milk. Seeing this, Akahoshi hurriedly patted his back.

"Did I...did I say something wrong?" Akahoshi frowned, still holding a steamed bun in her other hand.

I thought to myself, "My brother said that guys can be together with other guys, it's just that they won't have a baby."

Akahoshi felt he could do without a baby, but he really wanted a wife.

"You, Chixing, are you serious?" Shen Yu always felt that this simpleton still didn't understand the meaning of getting married.

Shen Yu didn't know what he dreamed about last night.

Chixing nodded seriously. He was a little slow, but he knew that all the men in the village had wives when they grew up, and his brother had clearly said that he had grown up.

“I just like being with you,” Chixing said. “Brother, if you’re not happy, I’ll be your wife.”

Shen Yu: ^o^

"It's not that it's impossible." If you're going to bully a simpleton, then go ahead and bully him. It's Akahoshi's own choice, so you can't blame him.

"Really? Then, I'll be your wife from now on." Akahoshi said with a proud smile.

Shen Yu licked the soy milk from her lips: "Okay, call me husband from now on."

"Husband?" Akahoshi called out obediently.

"Mmm, good girl." Shen Yu reached out and touched the top of Chi Xing's head. The newly cut hair was a little prickly, but it felt very comfortable to touch.

Shen Yu reminded him, "But you can't shout it in front of outsiders. I don't know if the villagers will dislike two men together."

"Why?" Akahoshi asked, confused.

Shen Yu still told him that men not being together is the majority, and that in many places, due to the traditional idea of ​​carrying on the family line, men would not be accepted to be together.

He explained things to Chixing in detail, and then asked, "Xingxing, you need to think this through. Once you're with me, you can't find anyone else, not a man or a woman. You might face a lot of gossip and even hatred in the future."

Do you hate him?

Akahoshi's mind flashed through many images of people pointing at him and calling him an idiot. He was just not very smart, so of course he remembered when people insulted him.

“I’m annoying to begin with; they all call me an idiot.”

Only the people of Pear Blossom Village don't curse him. No, there are some, but very few, like Shen Dacheng and his friends, who have cursed him since they were children.

However, they would scold him when no adults were around, and throw pebbles at him.

Chixing knew that they all hated him, including his uncle, cousin, and younger cousin; they all hated Xingxing.

Seeing that Akahoshi's lips were pressed even tighter, he looked dejected, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

Shen Yu's heart softened instantly: "But I'm here, I won't let anyone else bully you. At worst, we can move to a place that can accept us."

He hugged Akahoshi and said, "Akahoshi isn't stupid, it's just that they have no manners, and I like Akahoshi very much too."

"You may not know this, but the outside world can accept two boys being together. Xingxing will find out later."

Feeling Shen Yu's warmth, Chi Xing's sadness vanished instantly. He hugged Shen Yu back, his tone softening.

"Will they hate you? If I'm with you, will people call me an idiot?"

Shen Yu shook her head: "No, whoever insults us is just low-class, it has nothing to do with us."

Besides, in his mind, Akahoshi wasn't stupid at all. Akahoshi was just a little simple-minded, and his logic was clear. How could he be stupid?

250 then spoke: "[Immortal Lord, Shen Guanquan has been discovered. Someone notified his family, and the brothers Shen Dacheng and Shen Ercheng came and carried him home.]"

Shen Yu: [Hmph, breaking his leg is too lenient on him. You keep an eye on him, and strike when you get the chance.]
