When Lin Yinan opened her eyes, she had become a fifteen-year-old girl in ancient times. Before she could even react, she encountered a barbarian invasion and a massacre.
Her mother was strug...
Great Yan Kingdom
The third year of Jianxing.
"Anan!"
"Anan, wake up!"
In her daze, Lin Yinan heard a voice calling her name.
Lin Yinan's mind was still blank from the moment of the explosion.
Is "Anan, wake up!" Yu Xiaojia?
Before she lost consciousness, she and Yu Xiaojia were on a mission when they were surrounded by zombies in a residential building.
Yu Xiaojia used a bomb to blast a gap in the wall, preparing to break out, but unexpectedly, the residential building collapsed suddenly as the explosion rang out.
As her consciousness gradually returned amidst the shouts, Lin Yinan slowly opened her eyes.
A pale and haggard face came into view, but it was a young woman, not Yu Xiaojia.
Seeing Lin Yinan regain consciousness, the woman's anxious face showed joy, though her brows were still furrowed.
“Anan, listen to your mother, quickly find a place to hide, the Hu people are coming soon! Once you leave the city, head south to Jiancheng to find your brother.”
mother! ?
Lin Yinan looked around. In the distance were low, retro houses, and on the street lay people with arrows stuck in their bodies. Those who were not dead were howling in pain, and blood was flowing everywhere on the ground.
Blood pooled in the low-lying areas of the street, forming a small stream, and a strong, pungent stench filled the air.
She is 32 years old, unmarried and childless. She was in college when the zombie outbreak occurred. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, she joined a special operations team organized by the state.
Her mind went blank. The woman looked about the same age as her. Was she the mother of this body?
She's traveled through time!!
Lin Yinan was so shocked she almost jumped up from the ground.
Indeed, the bomb destroyed the entire residential building; how could she and Yu Xiaojia possibly survive?
The Hu people? Could the woman be referring to the Hu people described in history books as those who burned, killed, and looted?
Just then, a rain of arrows flew in from mid-air.
Lin Yinan reacted quickly, grabbing a stick from the ground to block the volley of arrows.
The scene was like being surrounded by zombies; it was incredibly dangerous. She reached out to pull the woman on the ground, saying, "I'll take you away!"
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she swayed, barely managing to stay upright. She reached up and touched her forehead—good heavens, a huge bump, thankfully without any broken skin.
Li Shulan grabbed her hand, shook her head, and said resolutely, "Anan, my dear daughter, I have to go and be with your father, so I won't go with you."
After saying that, he let go of her hand and stuffed a large package into Lin Yinan's arms.
Lin Yinan held the package in one hand and looked down at Li Shulan.
They found an arrow stuck in her right chest near her shoulder, her clothes were stained red with blood, and her face and lips were deathly pale.
Cries and screams could be heard from afar, along with heavy footsteps approaching.
Lin Yinan survived for twelve years in a zombie apocalypse, and her strong survival instincts enabled her to quickly find a place to hide.
She slung the package over her back and tied it up, glanced back at Li Shulan, took a deep breath, and leaped onto a nearby rooftop, hiding herself on the ridge.
Lin Yinan hid on a high place and saw that, two streets away, the Hu people were slaughtering the survivors.
The men and the elderly were killed on the spot, the children were tied up with ropes and thrown onto a cart, and the young women were pinned to the ground by several Hu people, who tore at their clothes.
Some Hu people came out of the house, presumably having looted all the supplies inside, and then started to set the house on fire.
The Hu people really did massacre the city; the scene was extremely bloody and brutal.
She turned her head away, unable to bear looking any longer, and her gaze returned to the body of the mother on the street, where she saw her holding a hairpin.
A sudden sharp pain shot through his head, and some of the original owner's memories rushed into his mind.
The original owner of this body shares the same name and surname as her. She is fifteen years old this year and was born into a scholarly family. However, Lin Yinan has been strong since childhood, loves martial arts, and has extremely high talent. Her parents dote on their children, so they hired a master to teach the three children martial arts at home.
Lin Yinan's father, Lin Zheng, is thirty-six years old this year. He passed the county-level imperial examination at the age of twelve and the provincial-level imperial examination at the age of eighteen. After that, he gave up the imperial examination and married the daughter of his mentor. He is the headmaster of Qinglian Academy outside Pingcheng.
When the Hu people besieged the city yesterday, they slaughtered everyone in the academy and burned it down. The original owner's father probably died a horrible death.
Lin Yi'an, the six-year-old younger brother who studied at the academy with the original owner's father, has most likely become food for those barbarian tribes.
My older brother, Lin Yiheng, is eighteen years old and studies at Jiancheng Academy.
Li Shulan, the mother, is a gentle and kind woman, only thirty-four years old this year. Since marrying Lin Zheng, the couple has been loving and have three children. Li Shulan takes meticulous care of her children and dotes on them immensely.
The Hu people besieged the city last night. The people inside originally wanted to escape before dawn, but the Hu people were ruthless and fired several volleys of arrows before entering the city, killing many unarmed civilians.
At this moment, Lin Yinan's mind was filled with warm memories of her family of five from the past; these were the original owner's memories.
Li Shulan gave Lin Yinan a sad smile on the rooftop, then pulled out the hairpin from her hair and was about to stick it into her chest.
A memory flashed through Lin Yinan's mind: the hairpin her father had given to her mother during the Lunar New Year!
With lightning speed, she felt a sudden stab to her heart and quickly grabbed a piece of broken tile from the roof, throwing it at Li Shulan's hand holding the hairpin.
The hairpin in Li Shulan's hand was knocked to the ground.
Lin Yinan leaped off the roof, ran back to Li Shulan's side, picked up the hairpin from the ground and stuffed it into her bosom, then quickly broke off the arrow from her shoulder.
"You are not allowed to use the hairpin your father gave you to hurt yourself."
"Anan, hurry up! Don't worry about me." Li Shulan had lost too much blood, but all she could think about was getting her daughter out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Without saying a word, Lin Yinan half-dragged and half-pulled her into the alley next door.
Li Shulan, drawing strength from who-knows-where, flung Lin Yinan's hand away, leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and said angrily, "I'm not leaving! If you take me with you, we'll both die!"
Lin Yinan recalled her parents from that world who had died many years ago. In order to let her live, they resolutely pushed her away and turned to lead away the zombie horde.
Her face was wet, whether from sweat or tears, she couldn't tell. Lin Yinan quickly wiped it away and said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't leave, I'll stay and keep you company."
"I... um..."
Li Shulan wanted to say something more, but Lin Yinan quickly covered her mouth.
A small group of Hu people appeared on the main street they had just left and gestured for her to be quiet.
He scooped her up on his back, turned around, and ran wildly into the depths of the alley.
Lin Yinan stopped at a dilapidated house at the end of the alley.
This place is far from the main street, the alley is narrow, and it is located close to the city wall. Judging from the sounds, the Hu soldiers will not be able to find it for a while.
Li Shulan, who had lost too much blood, was pale and semi-conscious when she was laid on the ground. She kept muttering, "Anan, run!"
Lin Yinan felt as if her head was being repeatedly struck by a hammer, and her chest felt heavy. She frowned slightly, trying to suppress her discomfort, and looked down to check Li Shulan's wound.
The arrowhead was still stuck in the wound, and blood was gushing out. To stop the bleeding, the arrowhead had to be removed, and then medicine and bandages had to be applied.
