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

After Yao Feiran arrived at the Lin family, the servants took her to Old Master Lin's side. Old Master Lin looked his granddaughter up and down, and Old Madam Lin suddenly appeared and hugged Yao Feiran.

"Oh, my poor granddaughter, she met the wrong person. Why didn't she tell me she was coming here? If your mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you went to that Taoist temple."

"Grandmother, I'm fine. I'm at peace wherever I am, and I can still visit you often."

Old Master Lin said, "I heard that you and the nearby villagers killed more than ten bandits. The prefect said that you set up traps and even trained the villagers."

"Yes, I'm so scared."

Where did you learn these things?

"Read more books when you're bored."

"...You killed two bandits; it's said they were both killed with a single blow."

"Yes, I react quickly."

Old Master Lin looked speechless: "What do you think of the imperial court?"

"Without power or troops, the young emperor is a puppet; chaos will surely ensue within two years."

Old Madam Lin's hand trembled. What was her granddaughter saying? It was utter nonsense.

Old Master Lin stroked his beard: "Back then, the Wang family's grandfather didn't listen to your grandfather and led his troops into dangerous territory. Later, your grandfather was held up by other matters, and the Wang family blamed your grandfather for not coming to the rescue, which led to the annihilation of the entire army, and Wang Miao also lost a leg."

"Past grudges are meaningless. The Wang family is indeed more powerful than the Yao family now. My younger sister is going to be sent there for a marriage alliance to marry Wang Miao's son. The entire Wang family hates the Yao family, so how could they treat my younger sister well?"

"Your father had no other choice but to seek a sliver of hope."

Yao Feiran said, "Why don't the Lin family prepare for a rebellion? Your location is also quite good. The Yao family has temporarily stabilized the Wang family. Even if my little sister becomes empress, it's not as good as becoming emperor."

Grandpa Lin almost crushed the cup. His granddaughter was too direct, but he was genuinely tempted.

Madam Lin slapped Yao Feiran and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? What will happen if word gets out?"

Yao Feiran successfully shut her mouth.

The two chatted about everyday things for a while, and Yao Feiran had a meal. Old Master Lin only had one son and one daughter. The daughter was the original owner's mother. The current head of the household was the original owner's uncle, Lin Zhengbai, who was a scholar.

After the meal, Old Master Lin called Yao Feiran aside, and as they chatted, Old Master Lin suddenly started talking about his time leading troops into battle. He had previously been Yao's grandfather's subordinate, but after Yao's grandfather retired because of that incident, he became the commander-in-chief.

Originally, I was just expressing my feelings, but it turned out that my granddaughter could also talk about it.

He was terrified when he heard what came next.

My granddaughter might be good at training soldiers and fighting.

"Where did you learn these bluffing things?"

"What nonsense! This isn't just empty talk. You'll know once Grandfather lets me try it."

"Go away, go away! How could a woman like you do that?"

"You're too cowardly to even try."

Seeing that Old Master Lin was still fussing and glaring, Yao Feiran said leisurely, "Then I'll go back first. After all, I've become a nun and can't go out casually."

"Come back and visit whenever you have time. Anyway, this is my Lin family's territory, and no one dares to gossip about it."

"Okay, Grandfather, I need a batch of medical books."

"I'll have your grandmother prepare it."

After Yao Feiran returned to the Taoist temple, she asked the villagers to clear wasteland and cultivate the land. She also commissioned the Lin family to make many handy farming tools. When the villagers saw them, they wanted to secretly learn how to make them and ask others to do so. Yao Feiran let them have their way.

At this moment, two old men carried a man up.

"Master, my son suddenly has a burning fever, his face is flushed, he's talking nonsense, and he's unconscious. What's wrong with him?"

Liu Ciyun stepped forward and took a look, then quickly covered his nose and picked it, saying, "It's probably the plague. You should carry him out quickly; this isn't a place for treating illnesses."

Upon hearing the word "plague," everyone immediately took a few steps back. Yao Feiran stepped forward to take a look, and Liu Ciyun quickly said, "Nephew, keep your distance, be careful not to catch the disease."

"It's okay, let me take a look."

Yao Feiran opened her eyes and looked for a while, then took her pulse: "Xiaoxia, get a prescription. Take three qian of honeysuckle, two qian of forsythia, and one qian of raw licorice root, and boil them in water."

After saying that, he placed the patient in the ventilated area, took off his heavy clothes, and asked the old man who had carried the patient up, "Could you please fetch me half a bucket of well water?"

"Why!"

Everyone was initially scared, but seeing Yao Feiran's methodical movements, they all curiously gathered around. After bringing the cool water, Yao Feiran took turns applying it to her forehead, both sides of her neck, chest, and armpits, where blood vessels converged, and promptly changed the application to dissipate heat, wiping them with a cool cloth.

After an unknown amount of time, the patient's breathing gradually stabilized, and Xiaoxia brought over the herbal medicine, which Yao Feiran slowly warmed and drank.

"Master, how is it?"

"It's nothing, just a sudden onset of high fever. Get plenty of rest. Take three doses of medicine and remember to make a soup and take it twice a day."

The patient slowly opened his eyes, his voice still a little weak, but his spirits had returned. Everyone marveled, never expecting that the Taoist priest could actually cure illnesses: "Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. How much silver will it cost?"

Yao Feiran didn't mince words: "Thirty coins."

The old man carrying the patient wiped away his tears. His son had just had an accident, and it was too late. Fortunately, they lived at the foot of the mountain. He remembered visiting this Taoist temple before and seeing the ethereal Taoist priest reading medical books. Thinking that she was kind-hearted, he believed she could save his son, so he rushed over with his son in his mind.

The old man kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Taoist priest! Thank you, Taoist priest!"

"It's nothing, just a very simple illness that any doctor can treat."

After the group left, people from nearby villages learned that Yao Feiran could cure diseases and that the fees were very low, so many people went to her village and gave her some incense money.

The Taoist temple has become quite popular. A woman passing by in the town saw people coming and going, so she went over to offer incense and received a few calming talismans. When she returned home, she found that the talismans really did promote sleep. She was overjoyed and spread the word, which led to a significant increase in the number of worshippers at the temple.

The Taoist temple has also reclaimed several plots of land, giving it a new lease on life.

Not long after, Xiaoxia also received the news: "Madam, the Second Miss has been engaged to the Prince of the Wang family."

I need to go out for a while.

After Yao Feiran told Old Master Lin, Old Master Lin sent several guards to escort her.

"Feiran, those farm tools you mentioned have indeed improved efficiency quite a bit, and those ladies from aristocratic families seem to really like the perfumes, lipsticks, and soaps."

"They're just little gadgets. It's good to make money from them. That pure distilled spirit wasn't just for drinking; it can be used as a disinfectant to prevent wounds from festering, and it can also be used as a wound medicine."

Grandpa Lin looked at her meaningfully: "I wish you were my son."

Although Lin Zhengbai was a man, he couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, yet he turned pale at the sight of blood.

"Being a grandfather's granddaughter would be nice too."

Grandpa Lin laughed heartily.
