Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 408: Cannon Fodder She Stole the Golden Finger of the Heroine

That delicate young lady Jiang Lan actually managed to defeat five burly men all by herself? And after that, she even threatened them with harsh words?

Upon hearing this, both Meng Dan and Jiang Nian had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Meng Fan was simply curious, wondering, "How could Jiang Lan suddenly become so powerful? Has she been hiding her strength all this time?" However, Jiang Nian, familiar with the novel's plot, disagreed.

She thought to herself, "According to the normal plot development, Jiang Lan could never have such a huge change overnight. Unless... she also traveled through time like me!" Once this thought came up, it spread wildly in Jiang Nian's heart like weeds.

To confirm her suspicions, Jiang Nian quickly lies, saying she misses her grandmother and father, who are living in the open, and hopes to bring some white steamed buns to visit them. This statement makes the male protagonist sigh that she is truly kindhearted. Even after being bullied and oppressed for more than a decade, she still cares about her family.

So, Jiang Nian hurried back home, filled with anticipation and trepidation. However, reality hit her hard – when she learned that Jiang Lan had gone into the mountains to hunt, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body shivering.

She was extremely anxious and kept trying to summon food from the mysterious space she possessed, but no matter how hard she tried, the food seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the time tick by, Jiang Nian, feeling increasingly uneasy, could no longer sit still. She gritted her teeth and decided to go into the mountains herself to search for Jiang Lan's whereabouts.

"Host, the heroine is here to see you!" Tuanzi blinked her bright eyes, her gaze fixed on Su Lan, who had just separated from her aunt. Su Lan nimbly grasped a massive wild boar with her bare hands. The boar struggled in vain. Su Lan, frowning, pondered how to safely carry the enormous animal down the mountain.

"Oh?" After hearing Tuanzi's report, Su Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile. "In that case, Tuanzi, go to the mall and exchange some low-level beast-attracting powder for me, and then quietly sprinkle it on that woman Jiang Nian. Hehe, I want her to feel the horror of being chased by the god of death!"

"Alright!" Tuanzi responded and sprang into action. With lightning speed, he vanished from the scene in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, the unaware heroine, Jiang Nian, felt only a flash of white light passing by, followed by a rustling sound in the nearby bushes.

"Oh no! It's a wild boar!" Jiang Nian thought to herself, and turned to run away, but it was too late. Two huge wild boars with sharp tusks pounced on her like arrows.

Although Jiang Nian, as the heroine, possessed a powerful aura, and could have remained unharmed even if she had stood still, she was terrified at the moment and had no time to think about such things. So, she fled in panic, completely losing her sense of direction and judgment.

Just as Jiang Nian was running desperately, an accident happened—she missed a step and fell straight into a bottomless pit. As her body landed heavily on the ground, Jiang Nian felt a piercing pain in her legs, as if all the bones in her legs had shattered.

Fortunately, after discovering that Jiang Nian was trapped, the wild boars seemed to realize that she could not escape and gradually dispersed and left the place. This made Jiang Nian's originally tense heartstrings relax a little, and her emotions became slightly more stable.

At this moment, Jiang Nian's heart was filled with resentment towards Jiang Lan. She secretly vowed that if she could successfully escape this deep pit, she would make Jiang Lan pay a heavy price! After all, it was precisely because she came to find this abominable variable - Jiang Lan - that she was chased by the ferocious wild boars and eventually fell into this bottomless pit. Now, her biggest worry was whether her legs could be saved.

At this moment, Su Lan, who was just about to rescue Jiang Nian, suddenly changed his mind: "Oh, in that case, let's rescue her later. Anyway, wouldn't it be more interesting to wait until her leg injury is too serious to be cured?" Thinking of this, Su Lan's mouth curled up with a sinister smile.

As night fell, the howling of various animals gradually filled the air. Jiang Nian, enduring the excruciating pain in her legs, curled up tightly into a ball. Amidst this darkness and fear, she still clung to a glimmer of hope, hoping that her unrivaled hero, Meng Fan, would appear in time to save her from danger.

Meanwhile, Meng Fan, who hadn't seen Jiang Nian return, began to feel uneasy. He sent someone to the Jiang family to inquire about the situation, but the answer he received was disappointing—the Jiang family told him that Jiang Nian had already returned to the camp.

Thinking that Jiang Nian, who was quite lucky, could provide the army with a steady supply of food, he sent more than half of the team to look for Jiang Nian. However, without Su Lan's guidance, they could not find him even after three days and three nights.

At this moment, a group of Jiang family members were sitting tightly together, happily roasting fragrant pork. Although they didn't know what kind of magical seasoning the eldest lady sprinkled on the barbecued meat to make the originally ordinary pork so delicious, they didn't stop eating.

Su Lan lied to her two aunts and said that she had caught the wild boar in a trap she had set. They did not suspect anything. After all, it was less likely that her eldest niece could kill the wild boar single-handedly. So they went down the mountain and called a few women to go up the mountain together to drag the wild boar back, which led to the current scene of sharing the food.

Old Madam Jiang, sitting in the crowd, hadn't tasted meat in a long time. Considering her advanced age and frail constitution, and worried that she might feel unwell if she ate too much at once, the thoughtful Su Lan hurriedly and carefully fed her a small sip of diluted spiritual spring water before cutting a piece of thigh meat and handing it to her grandmother.

Not far away, the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners, along with the other prisoners being exiled, could not help but drool at the tempting aroma wafting from here. They gazed eagerly at the juicy pieces of barbecue in the hands of the Jiang family, their hearts filled with desire, eager to rush over and get a piece of it.

However, when they thought of Jiang Lan's ferocious and sharp skills and the scene of him beating others mercilessly during the day, that scene was still deeply imprinted in their minds, making them feel fear.

In addition, the Jiang family was large, accounting for almost half of the entire exile team. If a conflict really broke out, they knew they would definitely not be the opponent. So, these people could only stand there and watch from afar, secretly envying the Jiang family's good food.

The army looking for Jiang Nian was also attracted by the aroma and walked to the open space one after another. They saw that the person grilling the meat was the useless young lady of the Jiang family, and a group of people were sharing the pork.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers all had the same idea in their minds: since the missing person was the Jiang family's second daughter, then let the Jiang family find her themselves! They stayed to enjoy the delicious barbecue.

So, after a brief discussion, they decided to send a team leader to negotiate the matter with Jiang's father.

Su Lan's words "I killed this wild boar by myself" made the soldiers laugh, but gradually they found that the Jiang family also looked serious. Looking at the officers and soldiers who did not dare to approach not far away, the leading captain had to stop talking about eating meat and instead said that Jiang Nian was missing.
