Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Okay, get up, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

"Let's go later." Shen Chushi pushed his arm back and leaned over himself.

Wu Yuan was indifferent; she was fine with having breakfast later. She obediently lay back down, thus missing breakfast and going straight to lunch.

After lunch, the two checked out and left.

"Huh, you can buy horses here?" Wu Yuan was a little shocked. Horses were a controlled commodity in this era, and it was surprising that such a small town could sell them.

"This place is close to the border, so the imperial court doesn't control it as strictly. Foreign tribes often tame wild horses to sell, and many merchants also come to buy horses to sell back home."

"A place that can form a horse market must be very prosperous, right?" Wu Yuan looked back at the road they had come from, which was far from prosperous.

"This place is already quite far from the border. It's usually frequented by nomadic herders, so it doesn't really form a horse market. There's another county ahead, where the horse market should be much more prosperous."

"Let's go take a look and buy two horses to ride." Wu Yuan didn't know the price of horses in this world, but the chests and chests of gold and silver ingots and various exquisite ornaments in her spatial storage gave her confidence.

"Why buy a horse? They're very expensive."

"It's okay."

"Since it's a trial, it's better to take it one step at a time; that's in line with the nature of trials."

"Let's see how it goes."

Wu Yuan wore a veil, concealing her somewhat impatient expression.

That night, they slept in the open again. Wu Yuan originally wanted to hurry to the county and even wanted to hire a carriage in the next town, but all the available carriages in the town were out and would not be back until the evening, so she could not leave until the next day.

If Wu Yuan were to stay one night by herself and leave tomorrow, then she could leave anyway, since it was already afternoon when they came out.

However, at the beginning of the day, he said he had arranged to meet someone at a certain place, and that it was inconvenient to travel by carriage, so he advised her to leave immediately. Wu Yuan didn't have any reason to stay. Wandering the martial world was just like that: practicing martial arts, cultivating internal strength, broadening her horizons, and having more opportunities for combat.

In a sheltered spot, a fire was lit, with fish and some unknown meat on top. On a simple wooden rack next to it, his clothes, which he had changed out of the night before, were hanging out to dry; he had just washed them by the river.

Wu Yuan sat quietly on the hay he had prepared beforehand, without removing her veil.

Shen Chushi carefully turned the meat over the fire, sprinkled some salt on it, cut off a piece, and handed it to Wu Yuan.

"Yuan'er, try it, how does it taste?"

"What kind of meat is this?" Wu Yuan took it with her small knife and asked, lifting the light veil in front of her hat.

"Uh, it's a field mouse, not a rat. They're two different things," Shen Chushi explained. He was worried she wouldn't eat it. Over the time they'd spent together, he'd realized that the person in front of him had lived a comfortable life before.

"Yes, I know." Wu Yuan opened her mouth and took a bite. She wasn't that fussy, but the fact that he had specially skinned and deboned it before bringing it back made her a little worried that it was some kind of indescribable thing.

"That's more like it. People from the martial arts world shouldn't be bothered by trivial matters. You can't get full just by eating fish."

Wu Yuan paused for a moment, then put the remaining half of the meat into her mouth, saying ambiguously, "Unconcerned with details? I hope you really think so."

At the beginning of the day, he cut off another piece of meat and put it in his mouth: "Of course."

The fish was grilled, and she peeled off the charred skin. She had marinated it briefly before grilling, so the fish meat inside still had a slightly fishy smell, but it was still acceptable.

"The skin is the best part, and all the flavor is in the skin. The scales of this fish are soft, you can try it."

Wu Yuan continued peeling the fish skin without stopping, and remained silent.

Shen Chushi glanced at the dagger she had casually placed aside; its hilt was inlaid with pearls and gemstones.

"You should use this dagger less often. The things on the hilt alone are enough to tempt people. Don't flaunt your wealth."

Wu Yuan glanced at the dagger, put the fish aside, picked up the dagger, wiped it clean, sheathed it, and stuffed it into her bundle. The inlay on the sheath was quite luxurious.

This was something from her past life as a concubine. She had taken it out and used it casually before, but she hadn't put it back into her spatial storage. However, it was indeed too conspicuous and could easily attract trouble. Her current martial arts skills were too low, so it was better to avoid trouble.

"Well, I'll buy a regular one when we get to the next county."

Shen Chushi was very happy, thinking that she was obedient, so he took the meat and moved closer to her, wanting to sit with her.

Wu Yuan looked up and saw his greasy lips. She said indifferently, "Sit back down."

"It's warmer to sit together."

"I'm not cold." Wu Yuan was wearing all good clothes and was indeed not cold. Under the heat of the fire, she was even a little warm.

"Okay, by the way, where are your clothes? Why haven't I seen you wash them?"

Wu Yuan glanced at her bundle, where the outfit was: "No need, the fabric isn't suitable for washing in cold water in the river."

When she acted alone, after exchanging the silver and banknotes of this world, she had many identical clothes made in two different styles. In other words, she only had two sets of clothes on the surface, but in reality, she had many sets.

"Then how do we wash it?"

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll take care of things when we get to the next county."

"ah."

After the two finished eating, Shen Chushi cleaned up the mess, washed his hands and face by the river, and then snuggled up to her, as if he was ready to offer himself to her.

Wu Yuan pressed the hilt of her knife against his chest: "Step back."

"Yuan'er, we..."

"No, I don't like sitting on the ground under the open sky."

"I'll lay down a thicker layer of hay."

Wu Yuan sat on the ground and looked up at him calmly. He looked down at her beautiful face and inexplicably understood the rejection that made him timid.

"Alright, alright, I understand. We'll find an inn to stay at once we get to the county."

Wu Yuan's expression softened. She walked to the nearby river to fetch water, washed her face and rinsed her mouth, then returned and lay down on the dry grass wrapped in her cloak.

Shen Chushi looked at the fire, then glanced at her again and again. Her face was hidden in the shadows, so her expression was unreadable. Only after a long time did her breathing become long and even.

She actually doesn't like sleeping outdoors!

The conclusion was reached at the beginning of the day.

The next day at noon, Shen Shichu met the person he was supposed to meet at the agreed place. In the pavilion, the two men sat facing each other. Wu Yuan leaned against the railing behind her. She originally wanted to avoid him, but Shen Shichu said there was nothing to avoid and insisted that she enter the pavilion.

"Junior Brother Shen, who is this?"

"Yes, Miss Ning."

"We met by chance. Young Master Shen saved me once, and we traveled together for a while," Wu Yuan casually continued the conversation.

Shen Chushi's lips curled up, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Yuan'er was a little shy!

The man opposite him glanced between them. The woman's face was obscured by her veil, but the indifference in her tone was obvious.
