Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

"The prey on this road is quite dangerous. It is estimated to arrive in ten minutes. Please hide to avoid being hit and killed."

"......"

She's already so weak, yet she's still being asked to hunt a live prey. I seriously suspect the Reversal of Fate Bead was done on purpose.

Speechless, Yao Feiran had no choice but to put Zhou Miao on the tree. Just then, she saw a dried-up ditch nearby and placed several sharp stones and pieces of wood in it, then covered it with branches.

Actually, she didn't have much hope. The hurried footsteps approached, and Yao Feiran and Zhou Miao hid in the trees. Then a group of wild boars came running. Several boars fell into the trap, but quickly climbed out again. Yao Feiran knew that the ditch was not deep enough and thought there was no hope. As a result, two pheasants were killed by the wild boars in the ditch.

"......"

This is another kind of unexpected turn of events.

After a long time, when the wild boars had all left, Yao Feiran jumped down.

She knew that anything could be dangerous in this desolate forest. Just then, she saw a cave nearby from a tree. She led the pheasant to the cave and sensed that there were no living creatures inside.

"Mom, there seem to be bird eggs in the tree."

Yao Feiran looked up and saw a bird's nest on a branch not far away. She took the bird's eggs down.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the cave, Yao Feiran spent a long time trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together. Zhou Miao was busy beside her, constantly carrying dry branches and placing them on the fire. He stared longingly at the meat and eggs roasting on it, even swallowing his saliva. After the bird eggs and pheasants were cooked, he and Zhou Miao shared them, and the empty feeling in his stomach finally subsided a bit.

Yao Feiran found that she had become much stronger, and at least had some ability to protect herself.

The two drank a few mouthfuls of dew from the leaves, wiped their mouths, found a suitable rock, and returned to the main group.

When Zhou Laoda saw that Yao Feiran had taken so long to return, he asked curiously with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where did you take Miaomiao?"

"Her stomach isn't feeling well, so I'm taking her to the restroom."

Zhou Laoda didn't sense anything unusual and continued, "I heard that the Luo family of Jingcheng also fled here. Many people want to try their luck and see if they can be taken in as servants."

The Luo family is extremely wealthy in Jingcheng. Even when they flee, they travel in a large and imposing manner, surrounded by guards. Once, a group of refugees tried to take advantage of the chaos, but the Luo family's guards cut off their heads and hung them on the carriages. Now, no one dares to make a move.

The eldest daughter-in-law also said with a smile, "If I become a servant, I can probably exchange it for food, and I won't have to worry about food and drink in the Luo family. It's a pretty good place to go."

The eldest son and his wife were speaking in unison, seemingly casually, but actually trying to get Yao Feiran to listen. Unfortunately, she didn't take the bait.

If Yao Feiran hadn't come, Zhou Miao would have been better off going to the Luo family. Now that she's here, why should she be a servant, pouring her heart and soul into her work only to be easily abandoned by her husband?

Zhou Miao, being thoughtful, immediately understood her uncle's meaning. She gripped Yao Feiran's hand tightly, feeling uneasy.

Her unease wasn't about being a servant, but about being separated from her mother.

After comforting her for a while, Yao Feiran sat down on the ground and began to get used to the body.

Seeing that Yao Feiran hadn't come over, Zhou Laoda didn't speak either, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't answer.

After a while, Yao Feiran opened her eyes, clenched her fist, and felt that her strength had increased a bit, making her feel a little calmer.

There are many refugees here, including those from the village and others from other places. The villagers stick together to avoid being attacked by refugees from other places.

Yao Feiran had also considered leaving alone, but this place was remote and too far from the town. She was likely to encounter wolves, tigers, and leopards on the road, as well as bandits. Traveling with the villagers would allow her to take advantage of the chaos. She could only wait until she found a suitable place to leave.

After a while, as everyone was preparing to leave, the third brother's wife said, "Second sister-in-law, I need to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

"It's about the Luo family recruiting servants. You know you're not in good health, and your husband has to take care of me and Yu'er. We also don't have enough food. Why don't you let Miaomiao try? Maybe she can get some food in return."

"No need, I don't need you to take care of me anymore. I'll take care of Miaomiao myself."

Anyway, they never cared about the original owner of this body. Every time, the original owner had to beg for a long time to get food, and was treated like a maid. Of course, there was nothing wrong with that. People should be treated differently depending on their relationship with the original owner. Food should only be given to their own people. They never treated the original owner as family, and Yao Feiran would not treat them as family either.

Seeing Yao Feiran's cold eyes, the third son's wife snorted and said, "Ungrateful."

After she returned, she told Zhou Laoda and Zhou Laosan about it.

Boss Zhou said calmly, "Those two are just a burden to us now. Since she said we don't need to worry about them, that's fine."

The eldest daughter-in-law worriedly said, "What if they beg and plead relentlessly? We're family after all. If we go too far, the villagers will talk."

"Now food is getting scarcer and scarcer, and we can't even take care of ourselves. I just saw Qi Ergou take his daughter out and he hasn't come back. Also, some people said his belly is bulging, but no one said anything."

Qi Ergou was a hoodlum from the next village. He had several children with him. He had previously tried to recruit himself to the Luo family with his daughter, but they were kicked out.

When everyone thought of a certain possibility, the eldest son's wife couldn't help but gag. Because of Zhou Lele, the eldest son's family had no shortage of food, so hearing about exchanging children to eat still made her feel nauseous.

After that, Yao Feiran became a lone wolf, following the main group towards the northwest. With increased strength, she became much more agile and was able to find some wild vegetables and fruits.

After a day's journey, everyone set up camp to rest. Zhou Shi from Shiqiao Village mysteriously gathered everyone together, saying that a group of wild boars had escaped from outside the forest. He suggested that everyone work together to catch a few wild boars and dry them into jerky so that everyone would have enough to eat.

Yao Feiran suddenly remembered that she had encountered a group of wild boars before, about five or six of them. When they charged around, even a tiger would be no match for them. Moreover, these refugees had been traveling for more than half a month and had long since run out of strength. They were just a bunch of defeated soldiers.

However, when people are in dire straits, they have no choice but to take risks. Some people who have finished their dry rations, especially those with families to support, have started asking about the exact location.

Neither Zhou Laoda nor Zhou Laosan went, persuaded by their wives, thinking that there was still some dry food left and there was no need to risk their lives.

Yao Feiran walked alone to the place they had agreed upon: "I want to participate too."

Zhou Shi waved his hand impatiently: "We only need men. You're a woman with a child in tow. Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Others also advised, "Yes, Zhou's daughter-in-law, I know you and your daughter have had a hard time, but you might get into a fight with other villages later, and your arrival would only cause trouble."
