1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

As darkness fell, Lu Zechuan and the others were all fast asleep before he arrived at Wen Li's room.

Wen Li had been waiting for him and hadn't gone to sleep yet.

As soon as Lu Zechuan came in, he gave Wen Li two empty IV bottles, one large and one small.

"Huh? Where did it come from?"

"I noticed your hands were cold, so I pulled some strings and got you two. Fill them with some hot water to warm them up—the smaller one for your hands and the larger one for your feet!"

These days, IV bottles are a hot commodity. It's not easy to get one without connections. Wen Li didn't expect Lu Zechuan to be so thoughtful, considering all this for her!

"You went to the hospital?"

"No, I had someone get it for me. You can take it!"

Wen Li smiled, "Okay, thank you!"

When Lu Zechuan saw her smile, he finally felt relieved. He was now basically certain that Wen Li also liked him. He clenched his fingers slightly, suppressing the restless emotions in his heart. Now was not the time to confess!

"Take off your clothes, I'll help you change your dressing!"

"good!"

Having learned from yesterday's experience, the atmosphere between the two was not so awkward anymore.

Using scissors to cut open the gauze, Wen Li discovered that the wound, which had been bleeding yesterday, had begun to scab over. Her hand paused, her heart leaping into her throat—she had added too much spiritual spring water!

I wonder if Lu Zechuan has discovered anything?

Lu Zechuan noticed that Wen Li hadn't moved and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"The wound is a little itchy, but otherwise it's fine. Is the wound infected?"

"No, this medicine was specially prepared for me by my mom. It's incredibly effective; it'll definitely cure everything!"

Wen Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that no one had noticed. She then gave him a quick wash and applied some medicine.

"Then I'll have to thank you properly next time I see you, Auntie. I benefited from your kindness!"

Lu Zechuan's eyes darkened. He had suffered countless injuries, big and small, and knew that these kinds of superficial wounds would take about a few days to heal. Although he couldn't see his back, he could clearly feel that this time the wound was healing exceptionally quickly.

Given Wen Li's noticeably heavier breathing just now, you could tell she breathed a sigh of relief. So what was she worried about?

Wen Li didn't add any more spiritual spring water tonight, not wanting him to recover too quickly, otherwise Lu Zechuan would definitely suspect, "It's good that he's benefiting from my help!"

But it was precisely because she didn't add spiritual spring water tonight that Lu Zechuan noticed something was wrong.

Last night, while applying the medicine, his thoughts were all on Wen Li. He didn't notice anything amiss at the time, but tonight's completely different feeling made him even more certain that Wen Li must have a secret.

After changing the dressing, it was already quite late outside. Lu Zechuan was worried that she was cold, so he quietly left.

The next day, Wen Li paid special attention to Jiang Chen and Jiang Yue'er. Jiang Chen waited for Jiang Yue'er on the back mountain for most of the day, but she did not appear. He could not openly go to find her, so he could only go up the mountain alone.

Hmm, Jiang Yue'er is starting to suspect Jiang Chen, and a rift has formed between them!

Wen Li hid in the bushes, laughing like a heinous villain!

Not long after he went up the mountain, Guo Caixia quietly followed him to the back of the mountain.

When Wen Li saw that no one was around, she secretly came out of the bushes. She thought to herself that Guo Caixia, who was no longer love-struck, seemed to have unlocked her full potential and become much smarter!

She followed Guo Caixia at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, as if they were on an autumn outing, until she saw a scene that made her jaw drop.

When Zhang Mazi saw Guo Caixia from afar, he came up and hugged her tightly.

"Honey, why are you so late? I missed you so much!"

A hint of disgust flashed in Guo Caixia's eyes, and she pushed Zhang Mazi away.

"Did you find it?"

Zhang Mazi wasn't annoyed; his face remained grinning. "There are so many trees on this mountain, it's not easy to find them. You wouldn't let me ask anyone else for help, so I had to search tree by tree. I'm exhausted; you have to make it up to me!"

"Do you still want your money? Let me tell you, if you don't find it, you can forget about ever touching me again!"

Zhang Mazi immediately panicked, "No way! I'll go look for it, okay? I've been in the back mountains for the past two days, and last night I even encountered a wild boar and almost lost my life. That's why I came here specifically to tell you not to go!"

Although Guo Caixia disliked Zhang Mazi, she still needed his help, so her expression softened considerably.

"Once we find that thing, we can sit back and count money for the rest of our lives without doing anything, so we'll just have to trouble you a little!"

Upon hearing Guo Caixia say that she wanted to spend her whole life with him, Zhang Mazi was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, I won't slack off anymore, but you shouldn't go today. It's getting cold, and wild animals will come out to hunt for food. I'll be heartbroken if you get into danger!"

It has to be said that Zhang Mazi was genuinely good to Guo Caixia, always thinking of her best interests, and Guo Caixia rarely gave him a kind look.

"Okay, you be careful too, don't let Jiang Chen find out!"

Zhang Mazi, taking advantage of the situation, kissed Guo Caixia on the cheek. "Don't worry, baby, I'll be careful!"

After Zhang Mazi left, Guo Caixia raised her hand and wiped the saliva off her face, her eyes filled with undisguised coldness.

Wen Li watched in amazement. Guo Caixia was quite shrewd; she had actually managed to coax Zhang Mazi, this idle loafer, into willingly going on an adventure to the back mountain. It seemed that she was starting to regain her senses!

Knowing they wouldn't find anything, and since Jiang Yue'er wasn't there today, Wen Li pretended to gather some firewood. Everyone had been scavenging in the back mountains lately, so it was hard to find any mountain produce. She didn't insist, since she had everything she needed in her spatial storage.

"Click~"

Faint footsteps approached, and Wen Li stood up to see He Qiang leading a few people stealthily toward her.

When He Qiang saw that Wen Li had noticed him, he stopped pretending and waved to the people behind him. The people then surrounded him menacingly.

Wen Li sneered inwardly, but feigned panic on her face.

"He Qiang, what do you want to do?"

When the person behind He Qiang saw Wen Li's face, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked at her with disgust.

"What are you doing, you little bitch? If you dare to bully Yue'er, you'd better be prepared for our revenge!"

It seems he's Jiang Yue'er's simp again. Wen Li hasn't seen these five people before, but judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be from the countryside.

He Qiang thought highly of her, and this time he brought five people to ambush her.

"He Qiang, aren't you afraid I'll report you to the police?"

As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, the group burst into laughter, as if they had heard a joke.

"Hahaha, call the police? Don't you know who Brother Zhi is? Even the police have to bow and scrape before him. You try calling the police!"

When Wen Li heard the person mention "Brother Zhi," she quickly made a guess in her mind: Wang Zhi—the son of the deputy director of the commune.

One of Jiang Yue'er's admirers, and also a powerful figure in Jiang Yue'er's early life.

Wang Zhi raised his chin, looking down at Wen Li with an air of superiority. "You're the one who made Yue'er carry manure, and you're always bullying her?"

Wen Li figured out his identity and wasn't in a hurry anymore. Anyway, she was going to deal with this guy. When the original owner was sent down to the farm, she became a slut that everyone could bully. Wang Zhi deserved a lot of credit for that!
