Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 331: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (3)

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone directly on Shi Qi's cheek.

Shi Qi originally wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally, but when she saw the little bird dancing happily on her face, three black lines appeared on her forehead.

But the next second, she suddenly grabbed the still plump little bird and licked her lips.

“Ka...!” The little fat bird seemed to have sensed something and struggled restlessly in Shi Qi’s hands.

In this way, the man and the bird were in a stalemate.

Shi Qi sighed and let go of his hand: "Forget it, let's get some food for the people."

The little bird seemed to be reborn and flew away without looking back.

A tall building rises from the ground up, but you can only rely on yourself to achieve glory.

Thinking of this, Shi Qi rolled up his sleeves and went out to look for materials.

To be honest, it seemed like this was the first time she was so poor that she even had to build her own house.

There is a forest dedicated to firewood cutting and a clear stream in the village. Many women are washing clothes by the stream with mallets.

"Hey, Shi Qi is back."

When passing by, a woman greeted him enthusiastically, and Shi Qi smiled and nodded in response.

It was his first time and Shi Qi was not very familiar with sawing wood, so he took the saw and chopped at the tree, but it was useless as the tree, which was not very strong, did not move at all.

Shi Qi looked at the saw in his hand, a little puzzled: "Strange, why can't I cut it?"

Tutu appeared at an inopportune moment and murmured, "Host, this tool needs to be pulled."

Shi Qi raised his eyebrows and coughed uncomfortably: "Ahem, I... naturally know, I just need to get used to it."

Sure enough, Shi Qi tried pulling it again, and it was obviously much better.

She sawed off pieces of wood and placed them neatly aside.

Shi Qi became more and more excited as he sawed, and couldn't help but sigh: "That is to say, it feels like the carpentry was tailor-made for me."

Could it be that she chopped down trees every day before she became a demon?

Shi Qi was daydreaming when he was suddenly brought back to his senses by a scream.

“Ah…!!! Help! Someone’s dead!” A woman seemed to have received a tremendous shock. The clothes in her arms fell to the ground. She collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and pointed her finger into the river with shaking hands.

The village women had never seen such a scene before and hurriedly dodged. A few people gathered behind the bridge and cautiously poked their heads out.

Shi Qi concentrated and put down the saw in his hand.

Originally she didn't want to join in the fun, but the system insisted on broadcasting it.

'Ding, the target character Shen Jingnian's health is 20%...10%...5%...Please treat him immediately, otherwise the mission will fail.'

When Shi Qi arrived at the river, he saw a white human body floating in the center. The clear stream water around it was dyed red, and there were even fish surrounding it, sucking the rotten flesh.

A strong stench came with the wind, and Shi Qi felt a chill in his heart.

If I couldn't faintly see the child's weak breathing in his chest, there would be no need to save him.

Shi Qi didn't dare to think too much, and tied the clothes together as quickly as possible and tied them around his waist. He turned back and frowned, and shouted to the woman hiding behind the bridge: "Don't stand there, the person is still alive, help me pull him, I'll go save him."

Seeing how brave Shi Qi was, the women felt ashamed of having hidden themselves and quickly came over to help Shi Qi.

After this side was fixed, Shi Qi couldn't help shivering when she stepped into the stream. Her body couldn't swim and she was still having a fever.

What a sin.

I don’t know how long Shen Jingnian has been soaking in such a cold day.

Shi Qi waded through the water to the central area. Due to the rapid flow of the water and the sudden rise in the water level, it almost reached her mouth and nose. She slipped and choked on some water.

Holding his breath, he dived into the water and deftly tied the clothes around Shen Jingnian's waist.

The child now looks no more than seven or eight years old. His body is so frail that you can't even feel the flesh on his waist. Shi Qi only used a small piece of clothing to tie him up tightly.

After being pulled ashore, Shi Qi didn't bother to check on the child. He just lay flat on his back and gasped for breath.

"Qiqi, are you okay?" an old lady asked with concern.

Shi Qi shook her head. She was fine, just very tired. She closed her eyes and didn’t want to open them.

"Hey! It's okay, it's okay. Oh my God, whose baby is this? How did the adults see it? How did it fall into the river?"

"Yes, yes, the little boy has a bruised face and nose. Hey, with so many injuries, I don't think he fell accidentally."

"Huh? Wait a minute, why does it look so much like the kid from the Shen family at the east end of the village?" A woman stared at him and suddenly said this.

Then several women started discussing again.

"Oh my goodness, his child is so miserable. That unreasonable father must have beaten the child again. The child is so pitiful..."

"Didn't we report this to the village committee before? Why is there no news?"

"I don't care about that. It's all family business. He didn't care if his child was beaten to death. How can I live a good life with a father like that?"

Amid the discussion, Shi Qi slowly opened his eyes and stood up, saying weakly: "Thank you, aunts, I'm fine now. I'll help check on the child later and then send him back. You were also frightened, I'll pack the clothes and send them back to you."

There was no other reason, it was just that these women were too noisy and she was so tired.

"How can a girl like you do this? Let the aunties come with you and take him to the clinic."

"No, no, I can do it." Shi Qi waved his hands quickly.

After all, they were afraid of someone losing their life, so they didn't bother to interfere and just left with the basin. As they left, they discussed what they had heard that day with each other.

"Huh..." Shi Qi picked his ears, and the world finally became quiet.

Shi Qi wanted to lift the child and send him to the clinic.

After all, she was also sick, and he was so seriously injured that she didn't have the energy to treat him.

Going to work while sick may be a virtue, but it is not hers.

But just when she was about to touch the child, the child suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her.

The next second, she felt a chill on her neck.

When I saw the sharp bayonet on my neck, a cold memory instantly came to my mind.

The body's instinctive memory and fear were infinitely magnified at this moment.

That small hand, holding the knife, although trembling slightly, made people inexplicably palpitate. That desperate and cold look seemed as if it would fight with oneself in the next second.

Shi Qi couldn't understand how a little child could have eyes like a dead man, empty and cold.

"Well... I won't go to the clinic. Take me... to your home, otherwise... I will kill you." The child seemed to have used up all his strength, and the cruelty in his eyes was not concealed, and there was even... a hint of pleading.

Shi Qi came to his senses and calmed down, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

The next second, under Shen Jingnian's angry glare, Shi Qi decisively knocked him unconscious.

"You!" He uttered an angry word before fainting.

Shi Qi looked at the fainted man, snatched the knife, and sighed softly: "Tsk, this little brat is pretending to be a big shot, I really got scared by you."

Shi Qi resigned himself to his fate and carried the child on his back, picked up a bundle of firewood, and went home with quite a harvest.

Although I can't build a house today, at least I can make some hot soup and rice.

It was already late at night when we had almost finished dealing with Shen Jingnian.

Looking at the skinny kid lying on the kang, with a bruised face and unclear features, Shi Qi couldn't confuse him with the adult Shen Jingnian.

"Hey, I'll send you back when you're better."

In her current situation, she can’t support two people. As for training, she will definitely help and warm him spiritually…

After saying that, Shi Qi fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

The child on the bed seemed to have a nightmare, with a frown on his face and struggling desperately with something.
