Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 249 - : Maxing Out Wilderness Survival Skills!
Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Maxing Out Wilderness Survival Skills!
Jiang Yan’s body subconsciously shivered twice.
“Jiang, Jiang Li, why have you come back?”
Jiang Li’s icy gaze shifted away from his face, then scanned his exposed chest.
A cold laugh spilled from her blush-colored thin lips.
“Ha——”
Jiang Yan shivered again, hurriedly grabbing his clothes to cover his well-built muscles.
“It’s not what you think, Jiang Li, listen to me explain, it’s just too hot today, I took off my clothes to cool down a little.”
Behind him, the camera operator shook his head indifferently.
The audience in the livestream was also shouting out.
[Lili, don’t believe his nonsense, he’s just afraid of getting tired, he deliberately took off his clothes to lure the aunties to help him carry the water!!!]
[Young Master Jiang’s tactics have once again renewed my perspective of him; damn, this guy is actually using his good looks as a strategy!]
[Not going to lie, Jiang Yan’s physique is really making me gasp, no wonder the aunties couldn’t resist, even I’m struggling to resist through the screen.]
[Ugh, I really can’t watch this anymore, thankfully Jiang Li has arrived, Sister Li, please give this guy a good beating.]
Of course, Jiang Li didn’t believe his story.
She knew all too well what kind of schemes her brother had in mind.
Slacking off was one thing.
But to use such vulgar “tactics.”
And to cause her to lose face along with him.
Throughout their journey, who knows how many uncles had looked at her, shaking their heads and sighing.
Their own wives and daughters had run over here to ogle this bare-chested young man.
How could they not shake their heads and sigh?
So Jiang Li let out another cold laugh and stepped forward.
“Too hot? There’s a well right beside you, want me to help you cool off?”
Jiang Yan knew all too well that she wasn’t just joking around. He quickly put on his shirt and grabbed the bucket.
“I’m not hot anymore, let’s go.”
Seeing this, the surrounding aunties all let out disappointed sighs.
Several were still reluctant and continued to persuade Jiang Yan.
“Young Master Jiang, come eat at my place, I see your little house has nothing, why don’t you come over to my place for some nourishment?”
“Come to my house, I simmered some mutton soup for you to drink at noon.”
“I’ve got watermelon at home, want a couple of slices?”
“Miss Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to take your brother back? Stay and chat a while longer.”
“…..”
Faced with this group of enthusiastic aunties, Jiang Li took a deep breath, smiled faintly, and her gaze began to dart across their faces.
“Aunt Xu, I remember your house has been losing chickens these past few days? If you go back now, perhaps you can catch the culprit.”
“Aunt Liu, hasn’t your mother-in-law been unwell recently? You should spend more time at home taking care of her.”
“Aunt Zhang, I’m guessing your daughter-in-law is probably gossiping about you with your neighbor again, are you sure you still want to invite my brother over for watermelon?”
“…..”
After her maneuver, everyone’s faces changed, and one after another, they found excuses to leave.
In an instant, only they and the cameraman remained by the well.
With no one left to speak on his behalf, Jiang Yan was utterly disconsolate.
“No, little sister, listen to me, I didn’t — ah!!!”
Jiang Li couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him and twisted his arm back ninety degrees directly.
“What did I tell you about public image, about being presentable? Look at you, your clothes are a mess—what kind of impression does that make?”
“We’ve been a loving couple for so many years, yet you turn around and charm those aunties with a few sweet nothings, and they leave without a smile on their faces.”
Jiang Yan felt somewhat wronged.
“I was just taking my ‘charmer of thousands’ persona to its logical conclusion. It’s not my fault those uncles—ah!!! Damn, my bad, my bad, I won’t do it again, let go, let go.”
The audience was thoroughly enjoying themselves.
[I’m dying of laughter, Lili. That’s exactly how you should teach him a lesson, for not sticking to his male virtues!]
[Well done, Lili! He deserves it!]
[It was absolutely the right decision for Jiang Li to stay. Otherwise, wouldn’t Jiang Yan have turned the whole village upside down on his own?]
His face was truly too disruptive for the country.
Not only did the young girls like him, but even the older ladies were hopelessly enchanted.
Coming from the affluent circles, Jiang Yan also stood out with his charm, turning heads even in a crowd.
Compared to him, their husbands and sons appeared incredibly lackluster.
Plus, with his clever mouth, he was often making the aunties laugh out loud.
Before long, Jiang Yan had become the friend of all the women in the village, with everyone talking about him.
After a few days, the jealousy levels of the uncles and elders were nearly overflowing their capacity.
They were just shy of coming directly to Jiang Li with their complaints.
After being scolded, Jiang Yan became much more humble and started dressing properly.
Jiang Li glanced at the barely-filled water jar and laughed again.
She immediately issued Jiang Yan an ultimatum,
—No filling the jar, no dinner.
Helpless, Jiang Yan had no choice but to pick up the water bucket and get back on the road.
[I hope this guy won’t cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I fear Sister Li will be too ashamed to stay on.]
[But I feel like Jiang Li is maybe meddling too much, Jiang Yan didn’t really do anything.]
[Exactly, as a sister, isn’t she being a bit too controlling? She’s not his girlfriend after all, bossing Jiang Yan around, and when she herself goes out for half a day, we’ve got no clue what she’s up to.]
The ordinary people who adored their idol didn’t take the blind hate lightly.
Was Jiang Li really meddling too much in her brother’s affairs?
This was the countryside after all, where being shirtless and exposed was inappropriate, let alone that Jiang Yan had impure intentions from the start.
But no matter how they explained it, the sarcasm in the comments section grew louder, and eventually, it even escalated to a gender rivalry issue.
However, Jiang Li’s next actions instantly smacked the haters in the face.

She wasn’t idle at all, but instead took off the basket she carried on her back, poured out all the licorice roots and bamboo strips, and neatly arranged them on the ground.
The viewers were initially puzzled until Jiang Li brought out a ladder, and then they realized,
—Jiang Li was going to repair the roof!
When Jiang Yan first arrived at this thatched hut, they had noticed that even the roof had several holes.
The weather was fine for now, but one rain and the inside would become a disaster zone.
[Is Jiang Li that amazing? She even knows how to fix roofs?]
[She must know how. The materials she’s got, like hay for roofing and bamboo, seem pretty professional.]
Jiang Li first used the bamboo strips to fix the waterproof layer of the roof, then carefully covered it with a layer of hay.
With her work, the dilapidated hut gradually shook off its decrepit beginnings, becoming more structured and solid.
And she, as if not tired at all, cleaned the inside and outside of the room after fixing the roof, and even repaired the table with the leftover wood.
Watching the screen, seeing the busy girl who didn’t take a moment’s rest, and listening to the continuous tinkling sounds, the viewers were completely dumbfounded.
Was this the same genteel and delicate girl known only for reading and farming?
Her wilderness survival skills were through the roof!
