Chapter 1: Apocalyptic Travel
Dawu went to Yunzhou, autumn.
The sun had just risen, and by the river outside Xiaoshi Village, several people were frantically salvaging something in the water.
"Oh, he's finally rescued." A strange female voice said in surprise.
"Hurry, give a hand to those next to you." This was the man with a rough voice.
As the voices rang out, several hands reached out and pulled the soaking wet Song Liyun ashore.
Song Liyun was half lying on the dry grass, gasping for breath.
It was so dangerous just now!
She spent the whole day running around in the ruins of the city looking for all kinds of supplies.
Tired, hungry, and mentally exhausted, I finally found a shelter that others had abandoned.
But unexpectedly, there was a group of mutant rats inside, and they were surrounded as soon as they opened the door.
In the crisis, her companions fled first. There were too many rats, and she couldn't escape even after fighting desperately. She could only jump into the river in despair, hoping not to die too miserably.
Now it seems that he was rescued.
The lingering fear of escaping death made her heart beat like a drum. Before she could even say thank you, she was stunned by the scene before her.
Around her were seven or eight men and women, all dressed in coarse cloth with slanted collars, much like the attire of ancient farmers recorded in original materials before the great catastrophe in the year of the era.
At this moment, everyone's face was filled with curiosity and sympathy.
"Hey! Girl, where are you from? How did you fall into the river?" The middle-aged man with a wooden stick in his hand asked loudly.
He had just gone to the field to check on the crops when he saw a girl from afar walking towards the river with her head down.
The river over there was very deep. He shouted several times to tell the girl not to go over there, but she seemed not to hear him.
When he rushed over to check, he found that the girl had fallen into the river, so he called on everyone working in the fields to come and rescue her.
"Yes, this girl looks unfamiliar. She doesn't seem to be from our Xiaoshi Village. Could it be that she came to visit a relative and didn't know the way, so she walked to Laoyadang at the entrance of the village." Someone came forward to look at Song Liyun's face carefully.
Another woman hurried in from behind the crowd. As soon as she saw Song Liyun, she shouted, "Miss, where are you from? Why are you here by the water? Do you know that the water is deep here and people have drowned there?"
The woman's voice was stern, but full of concern.
Song Liyun looked up and saw that the woman was about forty or fifty years old, with her hair in a bun and a silver hairpin.
She squatted down and skillfully helped Song Liyun wring out the water from her collar, then took off her apron and draped it over her shoulders to cover up the awkwardness of the wet clothes sticking to her body.
Seeing that Song Liyun remained silent, the woman continued in a slower tone, "Girl! I'm not saying anything to you, but these are rare peaceful days. You should live well. As long as you're alive, you can handle any big thing."
"My last name is Huang, and I'm the head of Xiaoshi Village. If you have any trouble, tell me and I'll help you."
A woman nearby was helping her wring the water out of her hair, and she was also comforting her, "Yes! Girl, if you have any problems, just tell us. The village head's wife will support you. We are the most reasonable people in Xiaoshi Village. We help each other when we have any difficulties. No one has ever died in any family."
The others were also talking to each other about the news, and people from the village were running here one after another.
Listening to the women's questions, Song Liyun's eyes flickered.
She looked at "her" arms, which were thin and weak, not the strong muscles she had gained after using biological agents.
And the clothes she was wearing, long sleeves, slanting collar, light pink skirt... the style looked the same as those of the "ancient people" around her.
Look around.
Although this place appears to be outside the base's defensive wall, there are no waist-deep weeds with sharp serrations, no wild beasts with bared claws and fangs, and no gray, lifeless sky.
The breeze is gentle, the sun is bright, the water ripples gently, and in the distance there are neat fields and houses.
These are the beautiful scenes that existed before the era of disaster.
Could it be that I have left that disastrous planet and returned to the ancient times before the era?
Looking at the bright sunshine and feeling the concern and inquiries from the people around her, Song Liyun's heart suddenly felt warm.
Having experienced the apocalypse for ten years, she is willing to accept anything, even if it is a dream or the underworld.
She just wasn't clear about the surrounding situation, so she needed to observe for the time being.
More and more people gathered around, wondering who Song Liyun was who fell into the water and why she didn't speak.
At this moment, an old woman screamed and rushed into the crowd, slapping Song Liyun: "You shameless bitch, little whore, now you are bold enough to run out and even seek death to scare people.
Believe it or not, if you run away, I will kill those two beasts at home."
Although Song Liyun was supported by the wife of the village head, she was frightened by the woman's scream. When she raised her head, she saw a skinny claw waving towards her cheek.
Before the wife of the village head could speak out to stop him, Song Liyun, alert to the danger, had already reacted and kicked forward.
But she had just been rescued from the water, her body was limp, and she was sitting on the ground, so the kick only hit the woman's stomach.
The force was not enough, and the old woman who was rushing towards her was kicked over, and she herself fell on her back.
The incident happened suddenly. The wife of the village head and the woman nearby exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly helped her up and asked, "Miss, what happened to you?"
On the other side, because this was the riverside, the ground was uneven, and there were dead grass, broken stems and gravel. The old woman was kicked by Song Liyun and suddenly lost her balance. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Like an irritated chicken, its originally sharp cry suddenly rose by eight volumes, hurting people's eardrums.
"Ah! Ouch! Someone fell to death!"
There is soft mud and grass here, so you won’t get hurt even if you fall a few more times.
No one around stepped forward to pull Mrs. Gu away. The village headwoman frowned and yelled, "Mrs. Gu, are you crazy? You're hitting people for no reason."
Song Liyun's kick was so fast that everyone else only saw her fall backwards after Gu Pozi lunged at her. They thought that Gu Pozi herself had lost her balance when she lunged at someone and knocked Song Liyun over.
At this time, Mrs. Gu didn't understand why she was kicked to the ground. She was angry and anxious, and when she was accused of hitting people for no reason, her face suddenly turned purple and she wanted to curse.
But thinking of her son's instructions when he left home in the morning, she had to suppress her anger, turned over and sat up swiftly, grabbed Song Liyun's arm again, and threatened with gritted teeth: "Bitch, why don't you come back with me."
Song Liyun casually pushed away her outstretched claws and said seriously, "Who are you and why should I follow you?"
At this time, she had already seen the appearance of this Mrs. Gu clearly.
She was wearing an indigo gown and dress, and was in her forties or fifties. She had a long, pointed face and a fierce look in her eyes, which made it obvious at first glance that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Mrs. Gu didn't expect that the silly girl in front of her would actually pretend not to know her. She instantly flew into a rage: "Song Liyun, you little bitch, what's that look in your eyes? Are you going to rebel just because someone is backing you up?
Bitch, I am your grandmother. Even if I want you to go back and die, you have to follow me obediently. If you dare to run away again, I will peel off your skin. "
This is a naked threat!
Song Liyun suddenly turned her head to look at Mrs. Gu, narrowing her eyes slightly.
As Mrs. Gu was speaking, she met Song Liyun's cold gaze. She was startled and opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.
When did this little bitch have such a look and aura?
But in just a moment, Mrs. Gu started cursing again: "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your dog eyes."
She has been domineering for decades and is experienced in fighting and quarreling, so she won't be scared off by a look.
The children of the eldest wife of the Song family all have a pair of round eyes, with the corners of their eyes slightly tilted downwards. Their eye color is lighter than that of ordinary people, and they look very cold. In the eyes of Mrs. Gu, they are like dog eyes.
When she shouted, the people around her also understood that it was Song Laoer's family, and they all spoke:
"Hey! After all this time, this is your daughter! Mrs. Gu, your granddaughter fell into the water, and as a grandmother, how could you not ask anything, but just raise your hand and hit her, and even scold her so harshly?"
"She only recognizes the one from Song Lao Er's family. The girl from the eldest wife is not considered a granddaughter."
Some people around had already guessed the identity of the woman who fell into the water, and they started to speak in a sarcastic tone.
Seeing that everyone was speaking up for the bitch Song Liyun, Mrs. Gu was immediately furious and slapped her butt and cursed, "I'm taking care of my own children, what the hell is your business? You're standing here watching my family's fun and gossiping, you might as well go home and watch your wife cheating on you."
The villagers became angry when they heard her swearing and talking nonsense.
But Mrs. Gu was notoriously shameless and unreasonable in the village. Arguing with her would only make you angry and would have no effect.
Then some people started cursing.
"Your family, Song Laoer, has done a lot of immoral things. There's nothing funny about them. It's disgusting to even talk about them."
Mrs. Gu was almost going crazy. At this moment, a short and fat woman suddenly rushed in from outside the crowd.
