Chapter 638: The Female Lead in the Book (2)
Su Ruolan served as the female lead in the original novel.
Initially a simple village girl from a small mountain hamlet, her fate took a drastic turn when she accidentally fell into the water and drowned. The soul of a modern-world girl inhabited her lifeless body.
Following this transmigration, the once naive village girl underwent a remarkable transformation. She became astute and resourceful, displaying a multitude of skills—from fishing in the water and hunting in the mountains to composing poetry and even facing off against tigers. Her newfound capabilities seemed almost boundless.
The small mountain village was situated near a dense forest known as Gongwang Mountain, harboring various ferocious beasts and bandit nests.
Upon realizing that her parents had passed away, Su Ruolan, as the eldest sibling, now had the responsibility of caring for her two younger brothers and a sister. In their earlier days, the family’s survival depended on the meager earnings her two younger brothers could procure through odd jobs.
Unfortunately, one of her brothers suffered a leg injury during these ventures, lacking the funds needed for treatment. His wound became infected, pushing him to the brink of death. The family’s sustenance relied solely on the earnings of the other brother, leading them to endure meager meals, often limited to a single bowl of porridge each day.
Upon Su Ruolan’s arrival, she immediately ventured into the mountains to secure food. Fortuitously, on the first day, she successfully hunted a yellow catfish. Carrying the bountiful catch home, she sold a portion of the meat to villagers, exchanging it for food and resolving the family’s immediate nutritional crisis.
Determined to address her brother’s leg injury, Su Ruolan continued her forays into the mountains the next day. Hunting emerged as the quickest means of earning money to facilitate her family’s survival.
