Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 34: The Crime of Gender

Qin Shuangshuang was shocked to the point where her scalp tingled! The arrow came so fast! It whistled past her ear before she could even react, with a thud, it embedded itself into the tree behind her!

After the arrow had shot past for quite a while, Qin Shuangshuang finally exhaled the breath she had been holding in her chest, unable to resist patting her small chest, realizing it wasn’t aimed at her, it almost scared her to death!

"Oh dear! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shot it crooked, are you hurt? Are you alright?"

A little girl, about eight or nine years old, wearing a coarse shirt like a man’s but with her hair styled in buns and tied with long ribbons, hurriedly ran over.

The little girl held a small bow in her hand, and on her back was a small quiver, bulging and full of densely packed arrows. Qin Shuangshuang glanced back to see the arrow on the tree was clearly one size smaller than normal arrows.

Once the little girl arrived, she circled around Qin Shuangshuang several times, then started checking her up and down. Seeing Qin Shuangshuang was really unharmed, she let out a big sigh of relief. Then she turned and shouted towards the forest: "Dad! Dad! Come quickly, I found a little girl!"

Qin Shuangshuang was speechless. What do you mean you found a little girl? Aren’t you a little girl yourself!

Following the little girl’s shout, a tall man emerged from the nearby woods. The man was broad and thick-browed, with healthy bronzed skin, and extremely tall, especially towering over someone as small as Qin Shuangshuang, resembling a giant!

When Qin Shuangshuang saw this person appear, she was stunned on the spot because she knew him, and it was unforgettable! Because this man was the only one who had ever let her feel what fatherly love was. Similarly, this man was also her savior!

In her past life when Qin Shuangshuang was eight, the land experienced drought for two consecutive years, leaving the common people without food. Her father, Qin Laoer, was urged by Little Chen and Qin the Third to trade her away for food. Just as Qin Shuangshuang was about to be killed and cooked, this man saved her!

Qin Shuangshuang never knew this man’s name, she only knew his surname was Fang and he lived in Fang Family Village, which was adjacent to her village. Just like everyone in Qin Family Village was surnamed Qin, most people in Fang Family Village carried the Fang surname too.

When the man rescued her, he was already severely ill, though his body was large, it was merely an emaciated frame, plus he always stooped, completely missing the majesty of the moment.

After rescuing her, the man kept Qin Shuangshuang by his side and took great care of her. He was an excellent hunter, always able to find something to eat for her even in places others had scavenged clean of grass roots and tree bark.

Thanks to this man, Qin Shuangshuang survived the hardest times. She wasn’t starved to death, not eaten, no endless chores, no morning hits or evening scolds—difficult though it was, happiness felt like living in a fairyland!

At that time, Qin Shuangshuang had long forgotten her mother, Mrs. Bai. She only felt no one had ever treated her so well in this life. In this man, she saw the figure of a father, something she never felt from her biological father, Qin Laoer.

During their free moments, the man shared bits of his own story with Qin Shuangshuang. He said he had a very cute and sensible daughter who unfortunately during the famine went out to find food, got separated, and was caught and eaten by someone!

By the time the man frantically found his daughter, she had become a pile of bones, while her devourers survived. The man never told Qin Shuangshuang how he dealt with those who ate his daughter!

Since his daughter’s death, the man fell ill. During famine times, there was no doctor to consult, so he could only bear it himself. But he couldn’t make it through; he suddenly passed away, falling asleep one night never to wake again.

After the man died, Qin Shuangshuang was found by the Qin Family and forcibly taken back. She resisted, cried, and made a fuss. She wanted to mourn for the man who gave her the feeling of a father and wanted to build him a tomb!

But at that time, Qin Shuangshuang was just a powerless little girl, so besides digging a pit and burying him, she couldn’t do anything. The only piece of luck was that the man died of illness, so no one dared to eat his body, allowing him to at least keep it intact.

Shortly after that, Qin Shuangshuang was taken by the Qin Family to leave that place. Since then, Qin Shuang started a displaced life at the mercy of others, unable even to visit the man’s grave, only able to remember the warmth he once gave her in her heart.

Now seeing this man alive in front of her once more, Qin Shuangshuang’s eyes could not help but turn red, her nose sore, feelings inside her were a mix of emotions, but an overwhelming joy boiled within her heart!

Being able to see this person again, seeing him standing healthily in front of her, with no illness, no exhaustion, no frailty, it was truly wonderful!

Just as Qin Shuangshuang was feeling emotional, she suddenly felt her body being shaken vigorously. Snapping back to reality, she saw the little girl waving a hand in front of her face, then turning to the man with a distressed, almost tearful expression: "Dad! This little girl was scared stupid by me. What should I do? I’ve caused a disaster! Boohoo, I didn’t mean to, how can I explain this to her parents now?"

Qin Shuangshuang choked, all the touching, joy, and excitement in her heart suddenly faded away, she was so embarrassed by the little girl! What was this all about? Was she really that fragile? Scared stupid by an arrow!

Qin Shuangshuang had just lost her composure for a moment but quickly snapped back to reality thanks to the little girl’s embarrassment, so the man didn’t notice her unusual reaction, only seeing her helpless expression caused by his daughter embarrassing her.

Seeing the little girl crying earnestly, Qin Shuangshuang could only open her mouth to comfort and persuade: "Don’t cry, I’m not that timid, I won’t be scared silly by your arrow."

As soon as Qin Shuangshuang spoke, the little girl stopped crying, sniffling while looking at her with a tone still full of uncertainty: "Are you really okay?"

Qin Shuangshuang was helpless, she truly wasn’t timid, but seeing the little girl crying so pitifully and adorably, she could only continue: "I’m really okay!"

The man on the side, watching the little child comforting the bigger child scene, couldn’t help but laugh heartily and stride over, first looking at Qin Shuangshuang, seeing she had a large basket almost as tall as herself on her back, he frowned slightly.

The man raised his hand to pat his daughter’s head in slight comfort, then crouched down to look at Qin Shuangshuang and asked: "Little girl, why are you in the mountains alone? It’s dangerous here, where are your parents? Why aren’t they looking after you? Letting you run around alone?"
