Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

After Shen Chenyi and the others left, Zhang Nana teased Yu Nuan, "Yu Nuan, did that soldier have a crush on you? He didn't seem like the kind of person who would be willing to help, judging from his cold demeanor."

"What did you say? He was just being kind, and besides, we don't even know each other," Yu Nuan quickly explained, not wanting the person who helped her to cause a misunderstanding. However, Yu Nuan truly meant it; it was just a chance encounter, and they might never meet again.

Seeing that Yu Nuan truly wasn't interested in the soldier from earlier, Zhang Nana didn't say anything more. However, she genuinely felt that Yu Nuan and the soldier were a perfect match; both were handsome, and the image of them standing together was incredibly beautiful. There's a saying, "A match made in heaven," and that perfectly describes them. Zhang Nana knew that if she said anything more, Yu Nuan would get angry, so she could only think about it silently. If Zhang Nana were in the future, she would know she was shipping a couple.

Wu Xianya, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Alright, Yu Nuan, you really scared us to death just now. We thought something had happened to you when we heard you scream. You should stay with us for a while and don't run around by yourself anymore."

"I understand, Sister Xianya. I promise I won't run around anymore."

Yu Nuan was still shaken by what had just happened. It had frightened her greatly. Having always lived in a comfortable environment, she hadn't considered safety much. This experience made her realize she should learn some martial arts, so she would have a way to protect herself in case of unexpected danger. Previously, she had learned techniques for cultivating the soul, but this new technique only helped strengthen her soul. Although this technique could be very powerful at a certain level, Yu Nuan, as a beginner without guidance, wasn't yet proficient in using it.

After that, Yu Nuan kept thinking about this, so she stayed quietly by Wu Xianya's side, watching them when she got tired. When they returned home that evening, everyone had a bountiful harvest; Yu Nuan had already filled a basket, and Wu Xianya and the others had even more.

On their way down the mountain, Yu Nuan and her friends encountered other villagers who were also picking mushrooms. Yu Nuan only recognized the village chief's wife, Li Yan, and Wang Zhuzi's wife; she could recognize the others but couldn't recall their names.

“Li Zhiqing, you guys are going to pick mushrooms too. I was going to call you to come with us this morning, but I didn’t expect you to have already left.”

Li Yan greeted Yu Nuan and the others warmly when she saw them. Originally, the villagers were not particularly welcoming to these educated youths from outside the village, and they usually didn't bother each other. However, since Yu Nuan became a doctor at the clinic, everyone stopped ignoring the educated youths and became much more enthusiastic about Yu Nuan. They knew that Yu Nuan had good medical skills and that they might need her in the future. In short, it was always good to build a good relationship.

Hello, Aunt Li.

“Li Zhiqing, you’ve only picked so few mushrooms, it’s definitely not enough for you. I’ll bring you some more when we get back.” They had been thinking of taking Yu Nuan with them to pick mushrooms, as the local villagers knew where the mushrooms were plentiful and delicious.

Li Yan's words drew everyone's attention to Yu Nuan, who was only carrying a small basket, not even enough for her family's meal. Zhu Zi's wife also stepped forward to share some of what Yu Nuan had picked, but Yu Nuan refused.

"No need, I can't eat that much by myself." Yu Nuan knew that these were winter reserves for the villagers, so she couldn't possibly accept them.

Seeing that there were many people there, Zhu Zi's wife thought she would go back and have Da Niu deliver the food to Li Zhiqing that evening. Li Zhiqing had helped her family so much before, and she hadn't had a chance to repay him. Besides, these things were enough if she was diligent. That evening, Yu Nuan finished dinner and was about to wash up when she heard someone knocking on the door. Yu Nuan wondered who could be coming so late.

Who was it?

……

No one spoke, and Yu Nuan didn't dare to open the door. Xiao Henan Village had a good atmosphere and no idle hooligans, but the nearby villages were another story. When Yu Nuan first moved in alone, Wu Xianya and others had explained to her the bad things those hooligans had done. As a girl living alone here, and with no other houses nearby, she had to be careful.

After a while, Yu Nuan opened the door when she heard that no one was outside. There was a large basket of mushrooms and some dried fruit. Yu Nuan glanced at it and saw that they were walnuts. Yu Nuan looked into the distance and saw that Li Daniu had turned around. Yu Nuan immediately recognized him as Li Qiang, the eldest son of Li Zhuzi. Yu Nuan wanted to call him back, but Li Qiang saw that Yu Nuan had picked up the things and ran away without worry.

Yu Nuan had no choice but to take the things inside. Ever since Yu Nuan saved Li Zhuzi, his family had been helping her frequently. Every afternoon, there would be a pile of firewood in the yard, which Li Qiang and his brothers had collected. Yu Nuan had said several times that she didn't need it, but they still brought it. So Yu Nuan could only give them some small snacks each time they put it down.

Before going to sleep, Yu Nuan remembered that she wanted to learn some martial arts, so she went into her spatial dimension to see if there was anything suitable for her. After wandering around the study, Yu Nuan saw a book called "Jade Immortal Sword." Judging from the title, it was a sword manual, but it also contained a matching internal energy cultivation method that ordinary people could practice. Yu Nuan took a look and thought it was perfect for her. Although Yu Nuan had already passed the optimal time for cultivation, she could still gradually become stronger than the average person.

The next morning, Yu Nuan began her martial arts training. At first, it was always fraught with difficulties, and the hardships she endured were unimaginable. Fortunately, once Yu Nuan set her mind on something, she didn't give up easily. Heaven rewards the diligent, and after a month, Yu Nuan gradually made progress.

……

Before she knew it, it was already the end of September, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Yu Nuan had seen online that the weather in Northeast China was cold, but she hadn't taken it seriously until she experienced it firsthand. And now, unlike her later life, there wasn't a convenient heater. Looking at the sun shining through the window, Yu Nuan knew without looking at her watch that it was already late. Shivering, she quickly dressed and got out of bed, brushed her teeth, washed her face briefly, and checked her watch—it was almost 9:30 or 10:00. There was no work to be done in the fields now; everyone was staying home, cold. Yu Nuan was going to the educated youth compound to find Li Xiaoni later. She was only finishing the sweater she was knitting for Li's father and the others, and she couldn't figure out how to finish it, so she wanted to ask Li Xiaoni for help.

Stepping out of the house, Yu Nuan quickly pulled her collar tighter, "Oh dear! It's so cold!" She didn't encounter many people along the way; the village was deserted. Yu Nuan hurried towards the educated youth compound. One of the benefits of learning martial arts was that Yu Nuan's strength had increased, and of course, her appetite had also increased, more than doubling. At first, Yu Nuan was quite surprised, but she found that no matter how much she ate, she didn't gain weight, so she didn't care anymore. Anyway, she had enough food in her space, and Father Li would give her dozens of kilograms of food coupons every month.
