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

The third son's wife was still shaken, recalling Yao Feiran's cold expression, as if she were looking at a dead person. Even if her husband wasn't afraid, the other party was carrying a weapon; what if she accidentally hurt someone?

Zhou Laosan turned his head and saw Yao Feiran wiping her sickle. Feeling resentful, he remembered the recent rumors and ultimately didn't dare to go over.

Zhou Lele also felt that her second aunt had changed. When exchanging items before, she felt that the other party was extremely indifferent.

Zhou Laoda said in a low voice, "When you went to exchange the things just now, what was your second aunt's attitude?"

"He didn't have much of an attitude, just like a stranger."

The eldest daughter-in-law didn't mind. Her daughter possessed a treasure from a deity, which contained a lot of grain. She advised, "Stay away from her in the future. We just need to take care of our own family."

"Um."

Yao Feiran followed the refugees for an unknown amount of time. She noticed that more and more refugees were gathering, and the people of Shiqiao Village had already huddled together, watching each other warily.

Just then, someone shouted, "We've arrived in Xiangcheng!"

Xiangcheng? Yao Feiran knew that this was where the Luo family had settled. It was far from the capital, and the prefect there had already rebelled, and the army had become the Xiangyu Army, but they had not expanded outwards.

A few years later, before there was a chance to settle accounts, the leader died of illness. Afterwards, the Xiangyu Army disintegrated due to internal disputes, and Prince You easily occupied Xiangcheng. It was at that time that Zhou Miao persuaded her husband to donate money to Prince You in exchange for his protection.

Yao Feiran pondered for a moment and decided to stay here. The leader here, Wang Yifeng, was also from a humble background. After joining the army, he gained the trust of his superiors because of his bravery and skill in battle. Although he died young, he had a good reputation in Xiangcheng.

Zhou Shi, seeing Yao Feiran staring intently at Xiangcheng without moving, asked, "Feiran, are you planning to enter Xiangcheng?"

"Yes, thank you for your help along the way, Uncle."

"But I've heard that the prefect of Xiangcheng is disobeying orders from the capital and may have already betrayed the country."

Yao Feiran said calmly, "Uncle, haven't you noticed things are getting more and more chaotic?"

Zhou Shi frowned as he looked at the refugees who were blocked outside: "It's probably not easy to get into Xiangcheng. There are natural disasters and man-made calamities everywhere. It would be better to walk a little further and find a suitable place to farm, be self-sufficient, and stay away from these conflicts."

Yao Feiran shook her head. Soon, war would break out all over the country, so it wouldn't matter where she went. She could either follow Zhou Lele's example and go to the territory of Prince You, but that was not the outcome she hoped for.

Xiangcheng is located in a remote area and will not be affected in a short time. Otherwise, it would not have taken several years to recover before being recaptured by Prince You.

"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say any more."

Yao Feiran turned to look at the third son's wife: "Before I leave, I want to take what belongs to me."

She stepped forward and snatched the package from the third son's wife. The third son's wife's eyes instantly turned fierce: "What are you doing? Trying to rob me?"

Yao Feiran took out the wooden box inside, along with two silver hairpins and a few silver coins, and laid them inside.

"This wooden box is part of my dowry, and there's much more to it than this. My sister-in-law said it was missing when we were fleeing. I can't say more about it. From now on, my daughter and I will have nothing to do with your Zhou family."

The third son's wife's eyes reddened when she saw her things had been stolen: "Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours! You robber, give it back to me!"

Zhou Laosan said fiercely, "What are you doing? I'll beat you to death!"

Yao Feiran punched him directly, and blood gushed from Zhou Laosan's nose. He felt a sharp pain in his nose, as if something had shattered, and then warm blood flowed out.

She led Zhou Miao a few steps toward Zhou Laosan, and no one dared to stop her.

Zhou Lele shuddered in fright. Her second sister-in-law had become so terrifying. Could it be that the so-called blessing from the immortals was real?

Zhou Shi quickly intervened, saying, "Feiran, it was the third son's wife who acted unkindly. Please show some leniency."

The population of Shiqiao Village is already small; we can't afford to have any more disabled people, otherwise they'll be more likely to encounter danger outside.

Yao Feiran did not make any further moves, but simply cupped her hands and said, "Goodbye."

The villagers of Shiqiao fell silent. Only the third son's wife looked at Zhou Laosan nervously. Finally, Zhou Lele took out a clean piece of linen from the bundle: "Third Aunt, this is a clean piece of linen, and this is dandelion. Please stop the bleeding for Third Uncle first, then apply the crushed dandelion, and bandage it with the rest of the linen."

The third son's wife, who had been panicked, finally calmed down.

Most people looked at the third son's wife with disapproval, as if blaming her for provoking Yao Feiran.

Zhou Lele had mixed feelings. Her second aunt had become much quieter these days, but because of her ruthlessness, the other refugees dared not provoke the people of Shiqiao Village.

Now that she says her third aunt took her dowry, no one suspects it; they just blame her third aunt for offending her second aunt.

That box was indeed part of the original owner's dowry, and Yao Feiran was entitled to receive it.

Yao Feiran led Zhou Miao outside the city. Since Xiangcheng was now not allowing refugees to enter the city, she was considering whether she could bribe the guards with silver.

Yao Feiran did not act rashly. She and Zhou Miao were both women. If they insisted on entering the city, they would likely be conscripted. Being made into servants would be one thing, but if they were reduced to prostitutes, she estimated she would have to fight her way out.

After observing for a day, Yao Feiran finally led Zhou Miao forward. The soldiers guarding the city clearly showed their disgust when they saw the two dark-skinned faces.

The constant travel and the use of black mud on their faces made it impossible to tell what Yao Feiran and Zhou Miao looked like.

"You're a woman, aren't you? And is that your daughter next to you?" The soldier's eyes were smirking. "It's fine if you want to enter the city, but men can be assigned to cultivate wasteland or join the army. What can women do? Do you want to join the army too?"

"Sir," Yao Feiran said calmly, taking out two silver coins. "I used to work with doctors handling herbs, so I can treat patients in simple ways."

The soldiers' expressions became more serious. There were many forces eyeing Xiangcheng with covetous intent, as well as some mountain bandits lurking among them. Therefore, the general ordered the refugees who were willing to join the army to enter the city. Of course, if war broke out, these refugees would naturally be the first to fight.

There is a shortage of talent in the city, especially since soldiers are frequently injured or killed. People with medical skills are very important, and most importantly, this woman is very shrewd.

He weighed the silver in his hand.

"As you know, you don't have any proof that you know medicine. I'll take you to Doctor Qiu later. If you don't pass the test, you won't be able to go wherever you want."

Zhou Miao nervously grasped Yao Feiran's hand. She had never heard that her mother knew medicine. What would happen if it were exposed?

Yao Feiran followed the soldiers to a clinic, where many soldiers were lying in bed.

"Those bandits are really bold, daring to launch a sneak attack on an army transporting grain. I'm afraid Marshal Wang will soon destroy their hideout!"
