Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Almost no one in the orphanage played with Nan Yu. Only Xiao Shan and Xiao Ming would talk to him. Xiao Shan was a chatterbox and sometimes his words were not pleasant.

At first, Akahoshi thought he was ashamed because of his lameness, but when Koyama called him a little cripple, Akahoshi did not see any inferiority complex on Nanyu's face.

“Nan Yu, you’re just a little cripple,” Xiao Shan continued.

Like a small cannonball, Akahoshi charged towards the hill, knocking down even a child taller than him.

Hearing the sound of a head hitting the ground, Akahoshi pouted, pressed her whole body against Koyama, and pinched Koyama's flesh hard a few times with her small hands.

"what--"

"Waaaah—"

The wailing attracted a lot of people, but Akahoshi didn't even look. Koyama, in pain, couldn't help but push Akahoshi away. He was six years old and stronger than Akahoshi. With this push, Akahoshi was thrown to the ground.

The rough ground chafed his still-scabbed palms, causing blood to seep out.

"Xiaoshan, you hit someone!" Nan Yu said decisively, the loudest he had ever been heard Chi Xing speak.

When Aunt Lin arrived and saw this, her face immediately darkened. She came over with a stern expression and picked up Chixing.

Akahoshi pouted, her big eyes filled with tears, but she couldn't cry out loud.

Xiaoshan, on the other hand, was crying so hard he could barely breathe, and kept shouting, "I didn't! He hit me, waah—my head hurts so much."

Nan Yu walked up to Aunt Lin and said, "Auntie, I was playing with Xingxing when he came over and called me a little cripple..."

As she spoke, her face was filled with sadness, and tears streamed down her face.

Xiaoshan was about to cry again when Aunt Lin loudly cut him off: "Shut up! What did you promise me yesterday? This isn't the first time you've cursed at someone, and this time you even hit someone. I think you've really gone too far."

This was the first time the children had ever seen Aunt Lin so fierce. No one dared to utter a sound. Xiaoshan was so frightened that he stood there sobbing and dared not say another word.

"Looks like I haven't been disciplining you properly. What if you get into serious trouble in the future? Who will bail you out?"

She was exasperated and said sternly, "Go stand facing the wall and reflect on your mistakes. If this happens again..."

She wanted to tell him that if it happened again, he should leave the orphanage.

But the child was only six years old and had been abandoned since childhood, so she didn't say those hurtful things.

Holding Chixing in one arm and Nanyu by the other, he left, leaving Xiaoshan crying as he went to the corner to face the wall.

Aunt Lu disinfected Chixing's hands again; this time, both of his hands were injured.

Everyone thought that Xiaoshan was bullying the new child. Even Aunt Lu, who was usually gentle, was a little angry. This child was becoming more and more unruly.

So, before dinner, everyone sat at a small table, and Dean Lin publicly criticized Xiaoshan, confiscated his apple for the day, and gave it to Chixing and Nanyu.

Xiaoshan was also asked to apologize to the two of them. Xiaoshan felt wronged, as he had been wronged.

He had a bump on the back of his head, and when Aunt Lu applied the medicine to it, she said he deserved it, sob sob...

For the first time in his life, Xiaoshan felt bitter, unaware that he was being brutally beaten by society.

In the afternoon, Chixing sat on the steps in the courtyard, with Nanyu holding an apple beside him.

After taking a bite, Chi Xing demanded that Nan Yu also take a bite, otherwise he wouldn't eat.

Nan Yu sighed like a little adult: "Don't get into conflicts with him in the future. Xingxing is still young and can't beat him."

"Who said that?"

Why hit a kid? He just wanted to teach him a lesson and show Xiaoshan how to behave.

Chi Xing whispered in Nan Yu's ear, "If he dares to curse at you again, I'll beat him up."

"Brother, I'll protect you from now on."

A warm feeling washed over Nan Yu, and his eyes welled up with tears. This was the first person besides his grandparents to say that they would protect him.

Even though he was just a three-year-old child, Nan Yu believed in him, and that the child had protected him just now.

"It's okay, my leg... it can't be cured, but I'll be able to support myself when I grow up."

Just like in his dream, he dreamed of what he would be like when he grew up. Because of his disability, no one would hire him, and he would collect bottles to support himself.

For a five-year-old, this is already quite impressive; he wouldn't even dare to haggle with anyone, but in his dreams, his grown-up self would.

"I'll be very powerful when I grow up, and I'll be able to take care of you then." He reached out and patted Akahoshi's head.

The two children shared an apple. Since she started having strange dreams occasionally, Nan Yu has become less self-conscious than before.

He felt at ease knowing he could earn money when he grew up, and every morning when he woke up, he felt the warmth of the sunshine and felt himself growing up day by day.

Akahoshi grinned broadly, revealing a row of small teeth: "Then you have to take care of me forever, okay, brother?"

Tianzhen Nanyu nodded firmly: "I will take care of you when I grow up."

Since he has no family left, Xingxing will be his family from now on, Nan Yu thought to herself.

"Your Highness, your father's men have located the orphanage and should be here the day after tomorrow," 250 said.

Chi Xing tilted his head slightly to face Nan Yu and asked, "Then, brother, do you want to come home with me? I mean, if my parents can find me, can you come home with me?"

Nan Yu's eyes darkened, and his disappointment was visible to the naked eye. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. When he looked up again, he had a smile on his face and touched Chi Xing's chubby cheeks.

"Grow up well."

When he grows up, Xingxing will probably forget him.

Nan Yu never imagined she would be adopted; the villagers all said she was a child who brought bad luck to her family.

It is said that his mother died from postpartum hemorrhage during childbirth, and his maternal grandfather fell off a cliff while chopping wood on the mountain.

He vaguely remembered his grandmother... but she passed away a few days later. Nan Yu couldn't remember clearly. He knew that no matter how he called out to her, he couldn't wake her up, and he was very sad.

Nan Yu lowered her head, the incoherent words of a two-year-old child echoing in her mind.

—Daddy, Grandma is sick, please help Grandma.

The call ended at some point, and Xiao Nanyu tried to talk to the phone for a long time, but there was no response.

Grandma held him and cried for a long time before falling asleep with her eyes open. Xiao Nanyu couldn't wake her up no matter what she did.

She was so thirsty she could only drink tap water, and when she was hungry she ate biscuits. She cried for a long, long time before anyone outside could hear her.

That was the first time Nan Yu learned about death. He would never see his grandmother again, just as he would never see his grandfather again.

When the villagers saw him, they said he was a jinx to his family. Nan Yu understood; he was the one who had caused her mother and grandparents to die.

"Brother, don't you want to come with me?" Akahoshi's childish voice rang in my ears.

"I……"

Nan Yu shook her head and comforted him, saying, "Xingxing, the adoption process is very complicated."

He changed the subject, not wanting to talk about how he was cursed to bring misfortune to his family, and even less wanting to say that he was a cripple, because no one would adopt a little cripple.

Just like the couples who had visited before, when all the children sat together, their eyes would immediately turn to Nan Yu.

However, upon learning that he was lame, they would immediately abandon the idea of ​​adopting him and choose another child.
