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

Having heard a lot of gossip, Wen Li realized it was getting late and went back to her room.

Not long after, Su Hao and Deng Wei returned to the educated youth compound amidst their bickering. Wen Li heard the commotion and went outside.

"Where did you all go for fun on such a cold day?"

Zhou Yu walked to Wen Li's side and whispered, "Xie Chang'an discovered traces of a herd of wild goats in the back mountain and plans to go check again tonight!"

Wen Li's eyes lit up, but she immediately frowned in disapproval: "The mountains are now snowbound, and there's more than just wild goats on them! It's easy to get lost!"

"A few young men from the village will be joining us. Jiang Lao Er will lead the team; he's experienced. We'll split whatever we hunt!"

If it were just Su Hao and his group, going up there would be suicide. The heavy snow would make it easy to get lost. But if there were an experienced person leading the way, they wouldn't have to worry about getting lost, and they might even make a considerable gain!

"I want to go too!"

The group watched Wen Li in silence.

Finally, Su Hao asked hesitantly, "Are you really going?"

"Well, you all know my abilities. I can protect you when the time comes!"

Three people: Are we that weak?

"Xie Chang'an is going too!"

Wen Li raised an eyebrow. "Do the villagers agree to him going together?"

"Yes, Jiang Lao Er has given his consent, and the others don't have any objections! Besides, he was the one who first discovered the goat herd, so only he knows their exact location!"

Wen Li roughly understood Xie Chang'an's purpose: he wanted to use the wild goat incident to get acquainted with the young men in the village.

If they successfully catch a few, everyone will owe them a favor, and if their family encounters any problems in the village in the future, everyone will put in a good word for them.

"Okay, remember to call me tonight!"

Seeing that Wen Li was determined to go, they couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they had no choice but to compromise.

After Wen Li returned home, she prepared several steamed buns and a water bottle, then took the wood-chopping knife to Zhou Yu for him to sharpen.

When evening came, everyone got ready and went to the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Lao Er and his group have arrived.

They carried wooden bows on their backs, and they looked quite professional.

Seeing that Wen Li had also arrived, one of the young men was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Wen, you educated youth, what are you doing here?"

"I was craving meat, so I came!"

The young man choked. Was that what he meant?

When Jiang Lao Er saw Wen Li arrive, he didn't have any objections; on the contrary, he welcomed her warmly. "Wen, the educated youth, remember to follow me. There's snow everywhere in the mountains; it's easy to get lost!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Jiang Lao Er looked at Li Zhi, "Is everyone here?"

"Sun Jian and Chen Erdan are also here, but Xie Chang'an hasn't arrived yet!"

As Li Zhizheng was speaking, Xie Chang'an arrived.

"Sorry I'm late!"

Because of Xie Chang'an's status, people were still reluctant to talk to him. If it weren't for the fact that he was the first to discover the goat, no one would agree to walk with him.

"Not too late! There are still people who haven't arrived yet!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Li Zhi stepped in to smooth things over.

Wen Li and Zhou Yu didn't know how to talk to Xie Chang'an, but after Li Zhi started it up, Zhou Yu gestured for Xie Chang'an to come over.

After waiting for a while, everyone finally arrived.

When everyone saw Wen Li, they couldn't help but want to say something.

But Jiang Lao Er stopped them all.

Jiang Lao Er was leading the team this time, and no one dared to say anything even if they had objections.

It's rare to have a chance to make money, and it would be terrible if Jiang Lao Er kicked them out.

The snow on the mountain doesn't melt easily, and there's a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Jiang Lao Er and Li Zhi led the way, and the people behind them followed their footprints into the mountains.

Snakes and insects hibernate during this season, so you don't need to be so careful when walking on the road.

No one dared to speak loudly; they quietly observed their surroundings for any wild animals.

The group walked for almost two hours before arriving at their destination.

This was a low-lying area, and the white snow made the surroundings bright. Wen Li looked around at the environment, which seemed somewhat familiar, but she didn't know where she was.

"The place where we found the goats is just ahead. I've observed it; the goats are hiding under that rock below. Li Zhi, you take Chen Erdan and the others and flank them from that side. We'll split up and go down!"

After arranging for everyone to arrive, the group carefully made their way down the hillside once Li Zhi and his companions reached the other side.

Wen Li followed behind, constantly keeping an eye on her surroundings, worried that other wild animals might suddenly appear.

The prey were very alert; before they could get close, a goat ran out from inside.

With lightning speed, Jiang Lao Er grabbed his wood-chopping knife and rushed forward.

Zhou Yu and Su Hao followed.

"Meow~"

The commotion was so loud that several sheep inside rushed out as if fleeing for their lives.

The team worked together seamlessly, in groups of three, and in no time they had taken care of six goats; the rest had all run away.

Wen Li is strong; she took care of one all by herself.

Several people wanted to give chase, but Wen Li stopped them.

"Stop chasing!"

"Wen, you don't know anything about hunting, what are you giving orders for?"

Chen Erdan watched the goats run off into the distance, his face filled with undisguised frustration. "Exactly! It's such a waste to let them get away with such a good opportunity!"

"Look!" Wen Li pointed to the thigh of the goat she had killed.

Everyone gathered around. They were frequent hunters and could immediately tell that the spot had been torn open by wild animals.

Jiang Lao Er: "It looks like he was torn apart by wolves!"

Li Zhi: "I knew it! I hadn't seen a herd of goats in all these years. They must have run away from a pack of wolves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.

If you were chased by a pack of wolves, it means the pack is probably nearby.

"Everyone, pack up and get out of here right away!"

Forget about being happy, everyone paired up and carried the goat back home.

No one asked Wen Li to carry anything, so she walked at the very back.

The group had not gone far when they heard the howling of wolves and the pitiful wailing of goats coming from deep in the mountains.

"Speed ​​up!" Jiang Lao Er's expression changed.

The smell of blood was too strong, and fearing it would attract wolves, everyone immediately ran away.

Wen Li sensed that the wolf pack's howls were getting closer and closer, so she immediately called out to Jiang Lao Er.

"Are there any caves nearby where we can hide? At this rate, the wolves will catch up soon!"

"Yes, everyone, follow me!"

The cave was nearby, and it took Jiang Lao Er and his team more than twenty minutes to reach it.

"Go in first!"

Everyone ran into the cave in an orderly fashion, and Wen Li and Zhou Yu worked together to dig through the snow to cover the goat's blood that had dripped onto the snow.

Although it won't have much effect, it'll buy us some time!

After entering the cave, the young men quickly moved stones to block the entrance.

The cave isn't big, so it's not cold even when everyone is huddled together.

They used to often stay overnight here when they hunted, and they kept some firewood and pots and pans inside.

Li Zhi lit the fire, and the dark cave finally became bright.

"What should we do? What if the wolves come after us?!"
