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...
Lin Yinan couldn't find Lin Yi'an and the kidnapped child in the front yard or the side rooms, so she went to the back yard.
There is a very large yard in the backyard, as well as several storerooms and a kitchen.
As soon as Lin Yinan stepped into the backyard, the stench of blood made her want to vomit.
In the huge courtyard, there was a mess, and several Hu people were slaughtering chickens, ducks and geese that they had caught along the way.
In the corner, five Hu people were skillfully roasting meat by a campfire.
When the sharp-eyed Lin Yinan noticed two children's arms roasting on the rack, she almost couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
The fingers holding the bow and arrow twitched, but Lin Yinan's mouth and nose were suddenly covered by a large hand.
A cool, pleasant, faint scent of fresh grass wafted from behind Lin Yinan, hitting her nose directly.
Lin Yinan broke out in a cold sweat; she hadn't noticed when the person had arrived.
Lin Yinan quietly gripped the dagger in her hand, waiting for the right moment to turn the tables and kill the person behind her.
As if seeing through her thoughts, the man approached her, his deep voice reaching her ears, "Don't be afraid! I'm one of our own. Do you see the second room on the right? I'll go kill the barbarians outside in a bit, and you go save the child in the room."
Before Lin Yinan could speak, the man continued, "There's a carriage in the backyard. Take the children there and wait for me."
Since the other party had put it this way, she had no choice but to believe them in order to save Lin Yi'an.
Lin Yinan nodded, and then released his large hand from her face.
A man dressed entirely in black, with a black cloth covering his face, appeared in the courtyard like a ghost. Before the Hu people could react, his long sword moved about, reaping their lives.
Lin Yinan quickly averted her gaze and rushed toward the room the man had mentioned.
Pushing open the dilapidated door, the five children inside were immediately filled with terror, huddled together like startled birds.
The original owner's younger brother, Lin Yi'an, was also among them.
The five children were about the same age as Lin Yinan. Lin Yinan gestured for them to be quiet and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound, I'm here to save you."
She went forward and helped them untie the ropes binding them one by one.
Lin Yi'an recognized his sister's voice as soon as she spoke. Suppressing his excitement, he followed closely behind Lin Yi'nan as soon as the ropes binding him were untied, grabbing a corner of her clothes.
Thinking of the several carts of grain that the Hu people had brought, Lin Yinan decided to go and check on the warehouse.
Seeing that Lin Yi'an was quite frightened, she squatted down and hugged Lin Yi'an, "Yi'er, your sister is here to save you."
"elder sister!"
After enduring a day and a night of slaughter by the Hu people, Lin Yi'an's tears fell in large drops the moment her sister hugged her.
His father had been killed by the Hu people, and he thought he would never see his mother and sister again, when his sister came to save him.
"An'er, I have something to do. Can you wait here for me for a bit?" Lin Yinan gently patted his back and said.
Lin Yi'an nodded understandingly, "Sister, you need to come back soon."
Lin Yinan peeked out through the crack in the door and saw two skilled Hu men locked in a fierce battle with the men in black in the courtyard, while the others had been killed by the men in black.
She reached out to the other two rooms, pushed open the doors, and was greeted by the pungent smell of grain. The entire room was filled with sacks of grain.
Lin Yinan put it into her spatial storage without any hesitation.
Next door, among the several warehouses, besides grain, there was also a warehouse storing tung oil.
Thinking of the uses of tung oil, Lin Yinan found a few jars in the corner, filled them with tung oil, strung them together with rope for emergencies, and also poured some into a few warehouses.
As she emerged, she raised her bow and arrow and swiftly dispatched the skilled barbarian for the man in black.
With the pressure on the man in black greatly reduced, he leaped into the air to dodge the attack from the barbarian, and with a backhand slash, decisively killed the barbarian.
"You're welcome!" Seeing the approving look in the eyes of the man in black, Lin Yinan picked up the tung oil jar on the ground and said calmly.
The two, with the child in tow, hurried toward the small door leading to the stable.
As Lin Yinan passed by the bonfire, he picked up a burning piece of firewood and threw it forcefully into the warehouse that had been splashed with tung oil.
The fire started instantly, and the backyard quickly became a sea of flames.
In the stable, Lin Yinan saw the carriage the man in black had mentioned, a carriage with eight horses harnessed to it.
"These are all rare Akhal-Teke horses." The man in black picked up a child with each hand and put them into the carriage.
Lin Yinan didn't understand horses, so at this time, he had a rare and capable assistant, and naturally, whatever he said went.
She carried Lin Yi'an, along with the tung oil jar, into the carriage, and sat on the carriage string with a bow and arrow in hand.
The raging fire in the backyard had already attracted the attention of the Hu people in the front yard, who were chattering away as they made their way to the backyard.
Lin Yinan's eyes darkened. "There are so many barbarians outside, how are we going to get out?"
With a hint of reluctance in his eyes, the man in black used his sword to slit the throats of the other horses in the stable.
"Charge out before the Hu people can react."
After saying that, he nimbly got into the carriage, pulled on the reins, and drove the carriage out of the government office.
Burning buildings throughout the city illuminated the streets.
Eight Akhal-Teke horses pulled a carriage, galloping swiftly toward the city gate.
As I passed by the government office, I happened to encounter a group of Hu people returning from a sweep.
The leader of the Hu people came face to face with the man in black and Lin Yinan. He immediately threw down the woman he was carrying on his shoulder, brandished his knife, and chased after them.
"I'll deal with them, you drive the carriage."
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, she nimbly climbed onto the roof of the carriage.
He took out the arrows he had seized from the Hu people, aimed, nocked them, and fired in one swift motion. Several arrows fell to the ground, howling in pain.
After dealing with the Hu people behind him, Lin Yinan got off the roof of the car.
The man in black's pupils dilated in disbelief. He was amazed at the woman's strength and remarkable archery skills.
"Your archery skills are excellent!"
Lin Yinan glanced at him but didn't say anything more; she needed to keep an eye on her surroundings.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of Hu people who, upon seeing the carriage speeding out of the city gate, all came to intercept it.
Seeing the Hu people chasing after him, Lin Yinan revealed a cold smile.
She turned around, took a tung oil jar from the carriage, pulled out a tinderbox, lit it, and threw it at the pursuing barbarians.
The Hu man, splattered with tung oil, instantly became a human torch, collapsing to the ground, rolling around and screaming in agony.
Then she threw out three more tung oils, along with the arrows she shot from time to time, successfully stopping the Hu people's pursuit.
They were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and by the light of the fire, they could already see the guards at the gate.
"Do you still have any tung oil jars?" the man in black asked Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan: "There are five more."
"Five is enough. You hold the carriage reins and I'll throw them."
Lin Yinan had no objection, handed him the remaining tung oil jar, and took the reins.
Lin Yinan drove the carriage steadily.
The man in black tied the tung oil jar to his waist, picked up his long sword, leaped off the carriage, and rushed toward the nearest Hu man.
