Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 43 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction

This is a huge project.

Qin Du's injuries were particularly severe, especially the wound on his shoulder, which was a bloody mess, as if he had been carrying a heavy object or had been hit by something.

My legs and hands were also covered in purple frostbite, and in some places the skin would peel off with the slightest touch.

Ji Zhuxin couldn't bear to watch any longer, but the doctor had a good attitude: "Qin Du is lucky to be alive. He's still breathing. If it were anyone else, they would have died halfway. Eating more meat would have been helpful."

Ji Zhuxin rolled her eyes at the doctor: "What time is it and you're still joking?"

The doctor chuckled and said, "Isn't he still alive?"

"Are you still going to the county during this period?"

Ji Zhuxin shook her head: "How can we get there? The snow is blocking the way."

The doctor sighed, "You guys have it so good, unlike us, we have to keep working no matter if it's windy or rainy."

"You guys get paid well, but I'm stuck running around and my pay is so low," Ji Zhuxin complained as she washed the bloodstains off the towel.

The doctor sighed and continued examining Qin Du's wound: "What's the use of being high-ranking? That local tyrant always withholds my supplies. It's a real headache. If I had known, I would have gone to work for his wife too."

Ji Zhuxin said casually, "With your personality, can you really do that kind of work?"

Ji Chaoxi huffed and puffed as she carried in another bucket of hot water. She had made this trip back and forth countless times that day.

Seeing the two chatting, Ji Chaoxi asked with some concern, "Is Brother Qin Du about to wake up?"

The doctor chuckled and said, "It's hard to say when your brother Qin Du will wake up. I can only keep him alive."

Ji Chaoxi remained silent, sitting beside him and watching. How could he have so many injuries?

She touched Qin Du's clenched hand; it was ice-cold. She immediately applied a hot towel to it to warm his hand up quickly.

Suddenly, she touched something. She looked at it curiously and found that Qin Du was holding something in his hand.

"What is this?" Ji Chaoxi asked, holding Qin Du's hand.

The doctor was about to say that the thing inside couldn't be removed when he saw Ji Chaoxi take it out of his hand.

When unfolded, it was a ten-yuan bill.

The doctor frowned. "Ten yuan? Where did he get such a large denomination of money?"

Could it have been stolen?

Ji Zhuxin glanced at it: "He earned it by working temporary jobs."

The doctor's eyes widened with suspicion: "Where did these temporary workers come from, earning so much money?"

Ji Zhuxin clicked her tongue: "From the forest farm."

The doctor fell silent, his eyes wide with astonishment: "He got all the money from the forest farm."

Everyone knows that the forest farm uses those job postings offering ten yuan for three days to scam people, but actually getting that ten yuan is not easy.

"Then his injuries can be explained."

Qin Du started having a fever again in the middle of the night, and the doctor gave him several injections before his fever subsided.

After working so hard for so long, the doctor yawned deeply, picked up his medical kit, and went back.

Ji Zhuxin was also exhausted. She patted Ji Chaoxi's head and said, "Call your sister over if you need anything."

Ultimately, they can't compare to the boundless energy of children.

Ji Chaoxi nodded vigorously.

The room fell silent immediately.

Ji Chaoxi had never been to Qin Du's room before. His room was very simple, with nothing but some daily necessities, and it was hard to tell that he had lived there.

There were many books and papers on his desk. Ji Chaoxi noticed that many of her own assignments were mixed in, all of which she had written when she first started learning.

When Ji Chaoxi saw what she had written before, she immediately covered it up. What had she written before? Qin Du didn't even know what he was thinking when he praised her.

Qin Du slept for a long time. In his hazy state, he could feel someone tending to his wounds.

The pain came and went, and he didn't know how many times he had fallen asleep and woken up, but he couldn't open his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt himself back at the bottom of that cold cliff, in darkness and frigid cold. He couldn't see anything and was just climbing up by instinct.

Just as he was about to climb up, the overseer's face suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, his expression twisted.

"Go to hell!"

Qin Du's fingers trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. He was breathing heavily, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he stared blankly at the ceiling.

It took him a while to realize that this was his home.

His hand accidentally brushed against something warm. He turned his head and saw Ji Chaoxi sleeping by his bedside, her hand still clutching his blanket.

Qin Du's gaze softened immediately, and he carefully touched her face. Ji Chaoxi subconsciously rubbed against him, muttering something under her breath.

Qin Du had just gotten up when the pain in his body made him frown. He gritted his teeth and got off the bed.

His face was still very pale. He first went to the kitchen to fill the thermos with hot water and put it in the quilt. Then he bent down and gently picked up Ji Chaoxi. His wound hurt a lot, but he didn't care much.

People stop feeling pain when they die.

Ji Chaoxi nestled in his arms, and Qin Du laid her down on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

The table was covered with medicine. Qin Du went outside, gritted his teeth, and changed his dressing. Cold sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.

After changing the medicine, he added firewood to the stove, poured a cup of hot water, and took the medicine to his mother's room.

When Qin Du woke Qin's mother up, she was still in a daze. But when she saw him covered in injuries, she burst into tears.

"Don't cry, Mother, I'm fine." Qin Du's voice was still a little hoarse.

He handed the hot water to Qin's mother: "Mother, take your medicine first."

He'll have to go to the county again in a few days to buy more medicine and pay back Sister Zhuxin's money.

Qin's mother was also thinking about this. With red eyes, she held his hand and said, "If it weren't for your sister Zhuxin and Xixi, I really wouldn't have been able to survive these past few days."

Qin Du nodded: "I know what I'm doing, Mother. I will return the money to Sister Zhuxin as soon as possible."

Qin's mother tremblingly pulled a bracelet from behind her pillow: "Pawn this. The rest is not important. Return the money to Zhuxin first."

This was given to her by her father when he married her, and now it's finally coming in handy.

Qin Du sighed and shook his head: "Mother, don't worry about this. I'll earn the money as soon as possible."

He couldn't possibly have pawned his mother's bracelet.

During his three days at the forest farm, Qin Du had come to realize that selling physical labor wouldn't make him a lot of money, and that if he wanted to make quick money, he had to resort to less-than-honorable methods.

He recalled his father's dying words.

You must study, protect your mother, and walk the right path.

Qin Du lowered his head in silence; he was likely going to disappoint his father.

It's impossible to protect the people he wants to protect by following the right path.
