Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

After Du Yuejiao finished speaking, she felt uneasy, afraid that the other party would not agree, and also afraid that the other party would doubt the origin of the wild boar, since in everyone's eyes, she could not possibly defeat the wild boar.

"Brother Shi Xiao, if it's too much trouble, then forget it."

Shi Xiao nodded. "No need to share with me. Where's the wild boar?"

Upon hearing that Shi Xiaoyuan was willing to help, Du Yuejiao nodded happily, "Yes, I'll share the profits. I can't let you help for nothing. The wild boar is in the bushes next to my house."

"Then I'll go after I finish eating." Shi Xiao glanced at the sky and decided to wait a while longer before going.

"Okay, you eat first, no rush. I'll go back and wait for you." Du Yuejiao planned to leave first. Although there were few people on the path at night, she might run into them if she was unlucky.

After Du Yuejiao returned home, about half an hour later, she decided to go out and see if Shi Xiao had arrived.

People in this era go to bed early, so there are basically no people on the village roads at this time. Even the people secretly watching her have left at night.

Du Yuejiao opened the door and saw Shi Xiao standing there with his hand raised high, seemingly preparing to knock. She opened the door from the inside.

"Brother Shi Xiao, you've arrived."

Shi Xiao nodded.

Du Yuejiao's lips twitched when she saw this scene.

Good heavens, if it weren't for her good eyesight, she would have thought that she had offended Shi Xiao and that's why he was ignoring her.

So this person is aloof and doesn't like to talk?

The two arrived at the bushes where the wild boar was released. Du Yuejiao parted the bushes, and a fat wild boar with big ears was exposed in their line of sight.

Shi Xiao glanced at the wild boar, then at the people beside him, and simply hoisted the boar onto his shoulder and walked away without looking back.

Du Yuejiao was now certain that this person was truly aloof and didn't like to talk.

The next morning, Shi Xiao brought Du Yuejiao twelve taels of silver, saying that the wild boar was sold directly to the slaughterhouse, so it was relatively cheaper.

Du Yuejiao believed him, and directly gave Shi Xiao six taels of silver. Shi Xiao didn't take it, but just glanced at her and left, leaving her completely confused. She quickly ran back to the courtyard and lay down in the water to check if there was anything dirty on her face, otherwise why would Shi Xiao look at her like that?

After looking at the photos for a long time, my face was completely clean; there was nothing there.

Shi Xiao refused the money. Du Yuejiao, remembering that Shi Xiao's clothes and shoes were worn out, decided to make him two sets as a thank you gift.

Having made up her mind, Du Yuejiao decided not to go to town to buy cloth, lest she be seen by acquaintances.

She remembered that in the 1970s, she had stockpiled some cloth, which should be usable.

The cloth left behind by the previous owner of the space was made of fine silk and satin, and was not suitable for exposure to light at this time.

Because she didn't have the measurements, Du Yuejiao specifically sought out Shi Xiao again and obtained the accurate measurements.

Half a month later, Du Yuejiao delivered a complete set of clothes and shoes to Shi Xiao, and only then did she breathe a slight sigh of relief. It's really not easy to repay favors owed to people.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Du Yuejiao is now certain that He Cuilian approached her for that sum of money. He Cuilian also has several accomplices, all of whom came to Niujia Village around the time the Wu family's house was built.

Besides He Cuilian, who openly came to her every day to embroider, there were also several other people who drugged her with sleeping pills at night and searched the house and courtyard.

If you look closely during the day, you can still find traces of the soil being disturbed.

Du Yuejiao pretended not to see it. Anyway, she had already transferred the money into her spatial storage without making a sound, leaving them with nothing. So let them do whatever they want!

Over the course of more than a year, through her persistent efforts and the accumulation of various elixirs, her internal strength and swordsmanship have made great progress. With the added effect of the Strength Pill, she could not say she would win against an average expert, but she should be able to survive.

For more than a year, she remained secluded, only going to town once a month to buy daily necessities. The only people she interacted with were the village chief's family and the Wang family next door.

As for Shi Xiao, I ran into him twice in town, but neither of us greeted him, as if we didn't know each other.

After being beaten up by her, Niu Tiegen and his wife haven't dared to go near her for over a year.

Her life was peaceful.

Du Yuejiao had just finished embroidering a screen depicting a beautiful woman emerging from a bath two days ago and planned to rest for a while. If she didn't want to arouse suspicion, she really wouldn't want to keep embroidering this thing in her head.

The original owner was quite skilled at embroidery; her handkerchiefs and sachets were very popular with young women, and the embroidery shop owner always paid her a higher price, even after learning about her reputation.

She didn't want to keep embroidering handkerchiefs all the time, so she thought of taking on larger embroidery projects.

The previous peony-patterned screen took her more than five months to embroider. The embroidery shop owner gave her 150 taels of silver. Even though she knew it was too little and she could sell it for more silver in the prefectural city, she still sold it.

This is a way of repaying the landlady for her past kindness!

“Sister Du, I’ve heard that Jinxiufang in the prefectural city offers fair prices and has an excellent reputation. I’m sure your screen will fetch a good price.” He Cuilian praised her embroidery.

Is he trying to get her away?

Du Yuejiao remained calm and composed. "I've heard my girlfriends talk about Jinxiufang before, but I've never been to the city myself. I really hope it can fetch a good price so I can live a life of comfort for the rest of my days."

He Cuilian: "Sister, your skills are so good, you're sure to get a good price. I'll ask my husband to keep an eye out for any delivery carriages going to the prefectural city. We can help you get on their carriages, it'll be convenient for you to travel back and forth."

"Okay." Du Yuejiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She wanted to see what He Cuilian was up to.

Did he intend to kill her?

Or is there another conspiracy?

They come, the security.

She can't stay at home forever; she has to give them a chance, right?

As for whether there would be any danger, there certainly would be. She didn't believe that He Cuilian had gone to such lengths just to get rid of her.

Two days later, in the evening, He Cuilian came to tell Du Yuejiao that Wang Musheng had arranged a caravan for her. They would depart early the next morning and return in three days. The round-trip fare would be one tael of silver, and food and lodging would not be provided, but the trip would be absolutely safe and reliable.

"Sister Du, then you should pack your things and get some rest. My husband said we need to go early tomorrow morning so we don't miss the time."

Du Yuejiao gratefully grabbed He Cuilian, thanking her repeatedly, her tears and snot covering the other woman. Only after watching the other woman flee in disarray did she stop her grateful expression.

Before leaving, Du Yuejiao took some things to the village chief's house. She told Aunt Wang that she was going on a long trip and hoped that Aunt Wang could help look after the house.

This "taking care of" is, of course, not actual taking care of.

It's just a precaution, a backup plan.

When they arrived in town at dawn, the convoy was already waiting outside Nanshan Town.

Du Yuejiao was assigned to a carriage by the manager. The carriage was full of goods, leaving only enough space for one person, as if it had been temporarily cleared out.
