Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

“We met Father’s former junior apprentice today. He took me as his apprentice, and I will go to him to learn medicine and become a doctor like Father. I can support you.”

Liu Guihua was stunned: "Really? That person is really your father's junior brother?"

Liu Yu nodded: "So Mother, come with us. We'll move to the county town in a few days and never come back here again."

This was exactly what Liu Guihua had been dreaming of; she hadn't had a single day of peace in the more than ten years she had lived here.

Sometimes she felt like slashing her own face, but if she did that, her Xiaoyu would be very upset.

Now that she heard they could leave, it would be a lie for Liu Guihua to say she didn't want to go with them.

Liu Yu tore off a piece of cloth and packed the only two sets of clothes Liu Guihua had left in the main room, and also took along any other items of slightly higher value.

Liu Guihua then found a well-preserved medicine box in a broken cabinet next to her. Inside were medical books left by Chen Xu and things that doctors could use, such as silver needles.

If Xiaoyu can truly inherit Chen Xu's mantle in the future, I can give Chen Xu an explanation when I go to the underworld.

Outside the door, Chi Xing listened to Old Lady Chen's increasingly offensive insults, glanced at her, and said coldly, "If you dare to make another sound, I'll beat Chen Da every time I see him next time."

Chen Da was Old Lady Chen's eldest son, and he was the one she loved the most. When she heard Chi Xing speak so earnestly, she fell silent.

She was unwilling to watch Liu Guihua's dowry money slip away, so she turned around and hurried home.

Just as Liu Yu and Liu Guihua came out with a bundle and a medicine box, voices came from the crowd again.

It was Old Master Chen who arrived with his brothers and the clan elders. Those people had fierce expressions and were clearly on Old Madam Chen's side.

As expected, when Old Master Chen saw that Liu Yu ignored them, he sternly rebuked her:

"Stop right there! You're getting more and more lawless. You don't even know to greet your grandfather? What an ill-mannered brat."

Liu Yu led Liu Guihua toward Chixing, then looked at Old Master Chen and said:

"You who sell your grandson deserve to be an elder? Someone like you, be careful not to do too many bad things, or you won't even have anyone to break a pot for you in the future."

These words were utterly disrespectful, and the elders of the Chen family stomped their canes in anger, shouting:

"Liu Yu, how dare you speak like that? How could our Chen family have produced such a scourge like you? You're a real troublemaker."

Liu Yu didn't hold back against these old fogies. Now that he had powerful backers, he didn't want to swallow his pride like before.

He retorted, "No, my surname is Liu, and besides, I've already been sold off. I'm no longer a member of your Chen family. You'd better remove my father from the family register. I don't think he needs elders like you."

"you you……"

The clan elder originally intended to use his status to suppress him, but now that he remembered Liu Yu had indeed been sold, he couldn't say anything else after stammering for a long time.

Seeing that they were about to lose, Chen Ziming, the cousin of the Chen family who had instigated Old Lady Chen to sell Liu Yu, spoke up.

"Even if she's sold, it's you, Liu Yu, not Liu Guihua. Don't forget, Liu Guihua is a daughter-in-law of the Chen family. What right do you have to take her away?"

Liu Yu looked at her cousin, who always liked to bully her, her eyes filled with hatred:

"She's my mother, why can't I take her with me? Don't forget, my mother never entered this shabby ancestral hall of yours, so what right do you have to sell her off?"

Hearing Chen Ziming's words, Old Mrs. Chen perked up and said loudly, "She is my daughter-in-law, and I have the right to marry her off."

Before Liu Yu could say anything more, Chi Xing stopped him and smiled at Old Lady Chen and the others: "Really? Aren't you afraid that Chen Xu's spirit in heaven will come after you?"

"Pah! I'm his mother, how dare he?" Just as Old Lady Chen finished speaking, a wolf howl suddenly came from the distant mountains and forests.

Then came the second, the third… and even the roars of other wild beasts.

Chi Xing continued, "Then what is that sound? Could it really be that Chen Xu can't stand seeing you mistreating his wife and children and is coming back to confront you?"

As the sounds of the ferocious beast grew closer, the surrounding villagers looked around in fright, some of the more timid ones already running home in a flash.

Some curious ones hid in the corners of the wall to watch, while others, before they could run away, saw a series of dark figures coming down from the forest.

It gets dark quickly; after all that commotion, it's already quite dark.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Wolf! It's a wolf! Run!"

"Wolf is coming! Run!"

Some people couldn't help but look in that direction, and saw two wolves running very fast, followed by an even larger beast that looked like a worm.

"Run! It's a giant worm! Aaaaaah!"

The man had barely uttered a shout when he was knocked aside by two charging wolves, followed by a huge tiger.

The man was so frightened he almost fainted. The others tried to run but found their legs too weak to move. The elders of the Chen family collapsed to the ground.

Liu Yu helped Liu Guihua up and immediately recognized that the two wolves belonged to Chi Xing. As for the big tiger, Liu Yu guessed that it was probably also Chi Xing's pet.

Akahoshi patted the back of his hand to comfort him, then suddenly shouted into the void, "Father-in-law, is that you who's back?"

These words were truly chilling, but Liu Guihua subconsciously looked in the direction Chi Xing was looking, only to find nothing there, and she felt a pang of disappointment.

Just then, two wolves rushed over and howled at the void.

At this moment, everyone truly believed that Chen Xu had returned. It must be that Chen Xu saw how badly Liu Guihua and her child had been bullied and sent the wolves and tigers down the mountain to protect them.

The big tiger approached the group, and Chen Ziming turned to run. The next moment, the wolf pounced and bit his leg, as if it wanted to tear off a piece of flesh.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The intense pain caused Chen Ziming to scream, sending chills down the spines of everyone present. Chen's family members trembled violently.

As the giant insect strode closer, some villagers hurriedly knelt and kowtowed in the direction where Akahoshi had spoken:

"Please forgive us, Brother Chen Xu. We were wrong, we were really wrong. We'll never bully Liu Guihua again. Please forgive us..."

The man cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, banging his head against the bluestone slab as if he felt no pain.

Compared to being eaten by a tiger, this pain is nothing.

The others followed suit, prostrating themselves and kneeling to kowtow in that direction.

However, some people knew that the direction was precisely the direction of Chen Xu's tomb.

The two wolves over there were still tearing each other apart, and almost none of the Chen family members survived, including those who had been overheard by Chixing speaking ill of Liu Yu and the other person.

Until the people on the ground were kowtowing and injured.
