Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Liu Yu heard the sound and turned around to look.

It was that scholar Wang again. Liu Yu noticed that he always seemed to run into this guy, no matter when it started.

The day he fell into the water, this scholar Wang happened to be there, and the people with scholar Wang said that he had seduced scholar Wang.

Liu Yu felt wronged. He hadn't fallen into the water on purpose, and he had no idea that Wang Xiucai would be by the river.

But because of this incident, he was sold, leaving his mother to suffer alone at home.

Liu Yu disliked Wang Xiucai, and now that she saw him, she wouldn't give him a friendly look.

"Don't you know best whether I'm alright or not?"

Liu Yu wouldn't tolerate people she didn't like.

After watering the vegetables, Liu Yu was about to return to the yard with the bucket when Wang Zhou took two steps forward and blocked his way.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't know things would turn out this way. When I heard the news that day, I took some money and went to help you. Who would have thought that this Red Hunter had already made arrangements with your grandmother?"

Wang Zhou realized that Chi Xing had disrupted his plans, so he decided to take the opportunity to sow discord between Liu Yu and Chi Xing. After all, Chi Xing was ugly, and Liu Yu would definitely find him repulsive.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Liu Yu looked at him and asked, "Help me? How will you help me? Will you buy me and make me your husband?"

Wang Zhou was speechless. He didn't like Liu Yu at all, so naturally he would never marry him. At most, he could be a concubine.

But he couldn't say it now, so he said, "If you're willing, I'll definitely marry you."

Just now, when he paused and looked so distracted, Liu Yu knew that what he said was definitely a lie. As for his purpose, Liu Yu didn't know and didn't want to know.

Besides, wasn't what this person just said just to stir up trouble and make him hate Akahoshi?

The man, who spoke like a gossipy village lad, completely destroyed Liu Yu's initial positive impression of his scholar status. He said coldly:

"I am now Akahoshi's husband. Don't say things that could cause misunderstandings. If Akahoshi hears you, he might beat you to death."

After saying that, he quickly walked around to the gate of the courtyard, went inside, and closed the door.

"Hey, I didn't, Brother Yu, you've misunderstood me, let me explain..." Wang Zhou didn't expect him to close the door so decisively, not even letting him finish his sentence.

He stood at the door, trying to peek inside, but the courtyard wall was higher than him, so he could only shout through the wooden door:

“Brother Yu, I just want to take responsibility for you. I know it's all because of me that you were sold here. That day, I really did accidentally pass by the river and saw…”

Before he could finish speaking, a basin of cold water was poured out of the yard. Wang Zhou couldn't dodge in time and his head and shoulders were drenched.

Then came Liu Yu's voice, filled with disgust: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't leave, I'm going to throw boiling water on you. When my husband comes back, he'll beat you to death."

Liu Yu stood in the yard, holding a basin, and cursed at the gate.

He wouldn't fall for such a despicable trick, just like those annoying men trying to bully his mother.

Seeing that he couldn't continue the conversation, Wang Zhou could only say that he would come again next time, and then hurriedly went down the mountain.

He was soaked, and the autumn wind was chilly, so he had to hurry down the mountain to change his clothes.

He didn't see a small black cat dart past the bushes ahead and continue walking downhill.

After taking only a few steps, it felt like he stepped on something, and then a piercing pain shot through his ankle.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Wang Zhou fell to the ground in pain, but the road ahead was a downhill slope. After he fell, his body rolled uncontrollably downhill, and the world spun before his eyes. The pain in his ankle almost made him faint.

Liu Yu, who was in the courtyard, only heard a pig-like scream, which gradually faded away. He assumed that Wang Zhou was trying to trick him into leaving.

Liu Yu frowned; he wasn't going to go out.

"Meow~." The little black cat crawled through the hole under the wooden door and rubbed against Liu Yu's legs, as if it were being affectionate.

Liu Yu thought it was frightened, so she quickly squatted down, picked it up, and stroked its head.

"Don't be afraid."

Akahoshi saw what was going on here clearly and silently made a mental note of Wang Zhou's actions.

It was he who had the little black cat set the animal trap, and with the fall down the mountain, Wang Zhou was in for a lot of trouble.

Knowing that Liu Yu was safe, Chi Xing didn't need to rush back; he needed to find a way to earn money to support his family.

In the past, the original owner usually hunted on the outskirts of the mountains, occasionally encountering wild boars and deer, but more often hunting pheasants and rabbits.

So over the years, aside from the money spent on food, clothing, and alcohol, the original owner of this body really didn't save much money.

The funeral for my master a few days ago cost a lot of money, and now the family only has enough money for the two of us to live on.

Chi Xing wanted to move to the county town with Liu Yu and Liu Guihua as soon as possible; he didn't plan to live in the town.

The town outside Lishu Village is not far away, but there is not much business in the town, and there is only one clinic, which is not as good as the county town.

He wanted to take Liu Yu to the county town as soon as possible, to do what Liu Yu wanted to do, and to let his young husband live a happy life.

This time, Akahoshi took a bow and arrows and a knife and headed straight for the deep mountains. He asked a few small animals for directions and found several hundred-year-old ginseng plants.

This thing is valuable, but digging it up is troublesome, though it's less strenuous than hunting.

Once Akahoshi was found, he started digging, which attracted many animals to watch, including black bears, tigers, pythons, and several wolves.

Chi Xing glanced at them lightly, and the animals nearly fainted from fright. They had no intelligence and did not know Chi Xing's identity; they were simply too frightened to move by the oppressive aura emanating from him.

Chixing thought that he would deal with these wild animals after he finished digging up the ginseng.

He used some supernatural power when he dug up ginseng; not only did he not break a single root, but he also did it very quickly.

The dug-up ginseng was wrapped in a clean cloth and placed in a basket.

Seeing mushrooms growing along the roadside, Akahoshi didn't mind picking some and put them in his basket.

There were some large animals following behind, but Akahoshi decided to let them go. He had no interest in things that weren't challenging.

Hunters wouldn't dare hunt tigers or black bears alone, and Akahoshi was afraid that bringing them back would frighten her husband.

Only a few pheasants and rabbits, a wild deer, and two wolves remained.

These two wolves must have gotten separated from their pack and ended up in this mountain forest. They've eaten so much that their fur is shiny and they waddle along behind Akahoshi, looking just like the huskies someone else raised in their past lives.

After killing the wild deer, Akahoshi cleaned it up by the river, taking only the hide and meat back with him. The pheasants and rabbits were still alive, and as for the two wolves, Akahoshi planned to take them back to guard the house.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard gate, the aroma of food wafted out.

Akahoshi found the courtyard gate locked from the inside, so he could only knock on the door and call out, "Ayu, I'm back."
