Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

After finishing, she locked everything in the cabinet and went to Mother Ding’s room.

Mother Ding hadn’t slept and her eyes were red. Seeing Ning Shu, she quickly wiped her eyes with the blanket.

Ning Shu sat by the bed, pretending she hadn’t seen anything. She said to Mother Ding, “Let’s move out. It won’t be safe to stay here with Ding Ningdie around.”

“Are you trying to make me give up my position? I’m still Mrs. Ding. If we leave, we’ll leave that father-daughter pair to enjoy their lives in peace!” Mother Ding said angrily.

“I have some business to take care of and will be gone for a while. I’m worried you won’t be able to handle Ding Ningdie alone,” Ning Shu said.

“No matter what she says, I won’t fall for her tricks again. If you have something to do, go ahead. Don’t worry about me,” said Mother Ding.

Ning Shu nodded. “Then, let’s keep in touch.”

Ning Shu changed into clothes suitable for movement and prepared to go to the mountains.

She had to catch some five-pace vipers and scorpions for the burn ointment. This burn ointment, called five venoms ointment, contained a mix of several venomous creatures–snakes, scorpions, toads, and spiders–as well as several toxic plants.

Ning Shu was fully equipped with protective gear to avoid being bitten.

It would take her several days to make a round trip.

Ning Shu stayed at a farmer’s house and then went up the mountain to find the poisonous creatures.

Generally speaking, carcasses left in one place indicated an animal’s den. This kind of thing only appeared where an animal frequented. It also suggested the animal was very dangerous. It was likely ferocious and possibly highly venomous.

Ning Shu wore gloves and held a pair of tongs.

She was nearly bitten by a snake, but after wandering the mountain for several days, she found what she needed.

She placed the spiders, toads, and other such creatures in small jars and put the snakes in bags.

Then she drove back.

Ning Shu rented a small suite and began concocting the burn ointment.

The snake broth in the medicine pot boiled white. Ning Shu put the other poisonous ingredients and medicinal materials inside.

After boiling for a day, the ointment was finally reduced enough.

The result looked just like the famous turtle jelly.

Ning Shu put it in delicate, antique-looking bottles.

Ning Shu smiled lightly. She succeeded!

When Ning Shu returned to the Ding residence, Ding Ningdie had been discharged from the hospital. Her leg was still in a cast and she sat in a wheelchair.

Ning Shu walked past Ding Ningdie and went upstairs.

Ding Ningdie pushed the wheelchair and followed behind Ning Shu. Biting her lip, she said, “Sister…”

Ning Shu stopped on the stairs. “Don’t talk to me.”

“Sister, I’m sorry about what happened to Auntie. I truly apologize,” Ding Ningdie said.

Ding Ningdie looked up at Ning Shu with wet, innocent eyes.

“Are you really sorry?” Ning Shu walked down the stairs step by step, approaching Ding Ningdie. She looked at her leg. “Why didn’t you stay in the hospital longer? Didn’t you break your leg?”

“It’s fine,” Ding Ningdie said, looking pleasantly surprised and a little startled that Ning Shu was willing to talk to her. She gestured with her hands. “It’s just a fracture.”

“It’ll heal with a bit of rest.”

Seeing Ding Ningdie like this, Ning Shu remembered how she’d intentionally provoked Mother Ding before.

How many faces could a person have?

Ning Shu observed Ding Ningdie’s bandaged leg and then bent down to pat her shoulder. “Then rest well. You can’t marry into the Bai family while sitting in a wheelchair.”

“Thank you, Sister. I’m glad you still care about me. I thought you’d never pay attention to me again,” Ding Ningdie said, looking at Ning Shu with tearful eyes.

However, she also stared at Ning Shu, scanning her face inch by inch, as if trying to see her true thoughts.
