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

Wen Li slept very restlessly that night, her dreams filled with images of Wen Xu lying alone in a pool of blood, his chest pierced by a bullet.

After being awakened by a nightmare, she couldn't fall back asleep and got up before dawn the next day.

The educated youth compound was still quiet. I dug up a 30-year-old ginseng that had been growing in the space for a while, wrapped it up, and then rode my bicycle out of the compound.

When Wen Li arrived at the post office, it was only a little past seven o'clock. The post office wouldn't open until eight o'clock, so she went to the state-run restaurant to buy a large meat bun. After eating, she went to wait outside the post office.

The post office staff were already quite familiar with Wen Li, after all, she sent money orders for twenty yuan every month, which was more than their wages, and everyone remembered her well.

"Good morning, Sister Chen!"

"Good morning, is this LaiLai Express? But I haven't seen any packages for you these past couple of days!"

Wen Li smiled and handed Chen Jie two White Rabbit milk candies. "No, I'm here to make a phone call!"

Sister Chen smiled and took the candy. "Look at you, still so polite! I'll go get the keys, just wait two minutes!"

"It's alright, take your time!"

After Sister Chen opened the door of the phone booth, Wen Li called her father's office.

Now, she had to transfer the call, so she waited for about ten minutes before calling back. On the other end was her father's tired but concerned voice.

"Xiao Li, did something happen? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

"Dad, I heard my brother got hurt. How is he now?"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Wen spoke seriously, "How did you know about this?"

Lu Zechuan's matter was confidential, so Wen's father was unaware of the inside story.

Wen Xu was injured and fell into a coma. He only woke up two days ago. Wen's father did not plan to tell Wen Li about it, but Wen Li found out so quickly.

"Dad, please tell me about my older brother first! How is he? Is he in any danger?"

"Your older brother was shot in the heart, but luckily the bullet wasn't deep. He's been rescued and is out of danger for now. Your mother has gone to the Northwest; she's taking care of him, so you don't need to worry!"

Wen Li sniffled, her voice choked with emotion, "It's alright, it's alright!"

Having received a positive answer, Wen Li finally felt relieved. As long as her elder brother was alive, the tragedy of the Wen family would not repeat itself, and her father would not have forced himself to investigate those people, only to fall into the enemy's trap in the end.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Haha, Dad's fine. He can still hold his own against those young punks!"

"That's good. I'll come home to see you all again at the end of the year!"

"Great! It's perfect timing, your brother hasn't been back for years. Our family can finally be reunited!"

After exchanging a few more words with Wen's father, who then gave Wen Li the phone number for Wen Xu's hospital room and the hospital, the two hung up the phone.

Wen's father didn't ask Wen Li how she knew Wen Xu had an accident.

There are many things that are difficult to say over the phone, so he suppressed his worries and picked up his pen to write a letter to Wen Li.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Li finally felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

He smiled and said goodbye to Sister Chen, put the goods in the courtyard, and then went to Gu Huai's place.

She arrived early; Gu Huai and the others were still having breakfast.

"Why are you here so early today?"

"I need your help with something!"

Gu Huai had an "I knew it" look on his face. "Tell me!"

Wen Li took out the ginseng and handed it to Gu Huai, "Have someone process it for me, I need it urgently!"

When Gu Huai saw the quality of the ginseng, he almost couldn't keep his composure. Where did she get so many good things?

This ginseng is much better than the one I gave him last time. No wonder this girl is so generous!

"No problem, when do I come to pick it up?"

"tomorrow!"

"So urgent?"

"Yes, someone in my family is sick, so I'm sending it over for them to use!"

Wen Li's family situation was no secret, and Gu Huai quickly found out.

"Okay, come pick it up tomorrow morning, and I'll have someone expedite its preparation for you!"

"Thanks!"

It was rare for Wen Li to express her gratitude so earnestly, and Gu Huai almost thought the sun had risen in the west. He noticed that Wen Li's eyes were still a little red, she had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked exhausted.

"I accept your thanks. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten, but I have something to do, so I'll head back now and come back tomorrow morning!"

"Okay! I saved you a few pounds of pork ribs; take them home to nourish your body!"

Wen Li packed the ribs and left the black market.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought dried mushrooms and seasonings before returning to the village.

She took the dried mushrooms home, soaked them in water, and then started chopping ginger, scallions, and garlic.

Wen Xu definitely can't eat spicy food right now, so Wen Li plans to make some mushroom sauce with extra spiritual spring water and send it to him tomorrow. He'll understand what she means.

After making the mushroom sauce, Wen Li searched her space again and filled half a jar with honey and strawberry jam, adding spiritual spring water to them all.

By the time everything was packed, it was already noon.

After a busy morning, Wen Li finally had time to think about Wen Xu's injury.

Logically speaking, Wen Xu had used the spiritual spring water, so his body's functions and reactions should have been sufficient to avoid that shot.

But Wen Xu was still shot in the chest. Was he destined to be cannon fodder and sacrifice himself?

Wen Li looked up at the azure sky, her eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

So what if we're cannon fodder?

Wen Xu was only seriously injured, but he survived.

No matter what, she would never let the Wen family end up like the one in the original book!

Hasn't she changed a lot of things already?

He had already stolen the two greatest opportunities from the female lead, so what did it matter how lucky she was? In his eyes, Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen were nothing but a joke now.

Thinking of the male and female protagonists, Wen Li suddenly remembered that she had drugged them the day before.

I don't know when they came down the mountain.

She then realized that it was already noon, and everyone should have finished work by now. Why hadn't they come back yet?

Just as Wen Li was thinking this, Chen Yan and Yin Jiao returned, grumbling and cursing.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Wen Li had returned, Chen Yan couldn't help but complain, "Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Zhiqing went out yesterday and haven't come back. The village chief arranged for everyone to go to the back mountain to help search for them!"

"Not back yet?"

The sleeping potion Wen Li gave them should only make them sleep for a few hours at most. Logically, they should have woken up last night, but they haven't come down the mountain yet. Could it be that they encountered danger?

On second thought, that didn't make sense. They were the male and female protagonists. Even in the deep mountains, as long as they didn't provoke the venomous snakes and wild beasts, the beasts would just go around them.

Why haven't they returned by now? Something's not right!

Wen Li handed the watermelon to Chen Yan, "I'll go take a look!"

"Hey, don't go. There are already plenty of people in the village. Why do you want to join in?"

Wen Li ran very fast, "I'm just going to take a look, I'll be right back!"

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone had already gone up the mountain, and there was no one at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Li knew where the two people were, so she headed up the mountain towards the woods.
