Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

"squeak"

A large rat stared with its beady eyes at the scene unfolding in the distance, excitedly nudging Shao Linshen's head and waking him up.

"Brother Shen, you're here! Is this the one you were talking about before?"

"Wow, I never would have guessed. This Aunt Zhang always looks so gentle and weak. I never expected her to do something like this."

Shao Linshen got rat hair all over his mouth, quickly covered his mouth and dodged away, then grabbed the Pangu Banner by the back of its neck and threw it aside.

She rolled her eyes and thought to herself with annoyance:

"Why are you so excited about helping with the night watch? The real show is yet to come. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

After the start of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it gets colder the further north you go. Luckily, his two daughters were put on their mother's carriage, otherwise, even with blankets covering them, they would have caught a cold.

However, in order to loosen the grip of the guards and allow the two daughters to rest in the carriage with their mother at night, he immediately gave away one of the gold hairpins he had just obtained.

Shao Lin rubbed his hands together, added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire beside him, glanced at Aunt Chen who was already fast asleep, and simply got up, wrapped himself in a quilt, and warmed himself by the fire.

The carriage was small and could barely fit the mother and her two daughters. Shaolin Shen and Aunt Chen each took a cotton quilt, using half of it under their bodies and the other half to keep warm.

As for Quanfu, Quanlu, and Granny Gui, they are now free and can help drive and protect his wife, which is more than enough. They can't be asked to keep watch at night.

A dreamless night.

As the sun rises in the east and the first rays of dawn appear, the horizon gradually takes on a pinkish hue.

Early in the morning, the guards would crack their long whips in mid-air, making a series of sharp cracks that would wake the prisoners from their sleep.

"Well--"

As soon as Wang Minyue struggled to get up, she realized that her whole body ached terribly, especially the places where she had been beaten by the two women yesterday, which were now throbbing with pain, and her calves were also sore, swollen and numb.

"Hey, it hurts!"

Wang Minyue cried out in pain and subconsciously lifted the blanket, only to see that her originally fair and delicate feet were now swollen like steamed buns, with several transparent blisters on the outside of her feet.

The thought of this ordeal, and the uncertainty of how long it would last, suddenly filled Wang Minyue with regret.

As she was pondering, she heard a series of coughs.

Turning my head, I saw that the four children on the side all had flushed faces, were covered in sweat, and were coughing incessantly before they even opened their eyes.

As if some mechanism had been activated, elderly people and children were seen coughing softly from time to time throughout the camp.

Shao Mingheng, who was standing by the fire, was awakened by the noise. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that his two sons were unconscious and could only utter a few painful murmurs like small animals.

He immediately rushed to the children, pulling his youngest son, who was closest to Wang Minyue, into his arms. Looking up at her, he was wary and angry, and blurted out:

"What have you done? Rong'er, Yao'er, they are my children!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Just as he was about to explain, he saw the woman staring at him with an incredulous look.

"You actually think I'm the one who ruined them?"

"Do you also believe that mad Taoist priest's words and think I am some kind of man-eating demon?"

Wang Minyue felt a chill in her heart; the physical pain was nothing compared to the reprimands from her lover, which made her feel even worse.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Shao Mingheng felt annoyed, but was about to continue explaining.

Suddenly, someone pulled them apart from behind. Then, the second son and his wife, each holding a child, hurriedly got up from the bedding and backed away.

Then, unexpectedly, he kicked Wang Minyue in the chest, knocking her to the ground.

"what--"

A short cry of pain escaped Wang Minyue's lips, and in an instant, someone grabbed her hair and began to punch and kick her.

"Second brother, what are you doing? She's your sister-in-law."

Shao Mingheng hurriedly put down the child, got up and grabbed his younger brother, dragging him backward. Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law grabbed his wife's neck like a madwoman and slammed her against a rock.

It seemed as if they wouldn't stop until they killed the person.

This spectacle drew everyone's attention.

Especially when there are elderly people or children in the family who have fever or are sick, the fierce look in their eyes cannot be hidden.

If it weren't for the guards restraining her, they probably could have kicked Wang Minyue to death by now.

Pangu Banner excitedly rubbed its front paws, wishing it could personally go up and deliver a punch.

He glanced at the two branches of the Shao family fighting to the death, then looked back at the host who was calmly drinking rice porridge, and suddenly shivered.

Shao Linshen noticed His gaze, turned his head slightly, and curled the corner of his lips at the other person, saying:

"Hey, Brother Fan, what do you think of this show?"

"...Brother Shen, how did you know that woman would get into trouble this morning?" Pangu Fan scratched his head.

"Because it is human nature to be prone to taking one's anger out on others."

Not all of these prisoners believed the Taoist priest's prophecy; sometimes, they were just looking for a way to vent their frustrations.

Shao Linshen lowered his head and took a sip of the hot rice porridge. It was cooked by Granny Gui before dawn, and drinking it now was just right to warm his stomach.

*

On the other side, Wang Minyue, whose head was bleeding from the impact, couldn't care less about anything else. Because someone was choking her, she could only grab her second son's wife's arm and beat her desperately while struggling.

"stop!"

"Mingheng, Mingxuan, are you two crazy? Let go of your father right now!"

When Shao's father and Xu's mother heard the noise, they rushed over and nearly fainted when they saw the scene of brothers killing each other.

The only way is for one person to pull the other away from the other.

"Have you two gone mad? You two are brothers, can't you talk things out instead of fighting like this?"

The second brother wiped his broken lip with the back of his hand, spat out a mouthful of blood, glared at his eldest brother as if he were an enemy, and roared:

“Father, you should ask him. I, Shao Mingxuan, believe that I have never done anything to wrong him, yet he allows that evil spirit to harm my child. I cannot accept such a heartless brother.”

After saying this, he saw his two children being held in his wife's arms. Without waiting for Shao's father to say anything, he hurriedly took his wife and children away from there. Before the escorts arrived, he wiped the sweat off the children and changed their clothes.

Wang Minyue was still dizzy, and blood was flowing from the back of her head. She lay on the ground for a long time, but no one came to help her up.

Especially her husband, whom she longed for so deeply, didn't care about her life or death; he just held the two children, changed their clothes, and fed them water.

"vomit--"

Wang Minyue was already in severe chest pain, and this anger caused her to immediately vomit a mouthful of blood.

"How I hate you, Shao Mingheng! You heartless beast! I've been so loyal to you, knowing I'm pregnant and injured, yet you still ignore me completely."

She was filled with remorse, regretting that she had been blinded by his good looks and had actually fallen for such a thing.

No wonder the original owner was depressed all the time. If she had known this would happen, she should have given in to the other party's wishes and divorced him and returned home.

Wang Minyue's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but it was only for a fleeting moment.

Just as she was struggling to get up to bandage her wound, Aunt Zhang and her daughter rushed over. One of them carefully helped her up, while the other tore open her coat and wrapped it around her wound to stop the bleeding.

His face showed concern, and he said urgently:

"Young Madam, are you alright now? I just saw the guards selling medicine packets for typhoid fever. Why don't I ask Yingxin to inquire with them if they have any other medicines for treating injuries?"

"...No need, I have a bottle of wound medicine in my blue bundle. Please help me get it out, Fourth Sister."

Wang Minyue felt a lump in her throat, realizing that her husband, whom she had treated with all her heart, was not as good as two strangers.

All she had ever given them was a steamed bun, yet they were so devoted to her, showing her more care than her cheap husband who only cared about the children.

Thinking of this, Wang Minyue raised her hand with difficulty and took out a small packet of pastries wrapped in oil paper from a small bundle and stuffed it into Aunt Chen's arms.

I was feeling unwell today and probably couldn't carry my luggage, so I asked them to help me and not stray too far from me.

Aunt Zhang was so moved she wanted to kowtow a few more times on the spot, and immediately patted her chest to guarantee:

"Don't worry, Madam. You've been so good to me, I will definitely repay you properly."

"Let alone carrying your luggage, I would carry you on my back the whole way without any regrets."
