No wonder!
Yu Xiaojia, who was well-versed in this matter, stumbled on this.
With a loud bang, the residential building collapsed, just like it had before!
She and Yu Xiaojia were buried under the rubble, covered in blood. The smell of blood attracted a swarm of zombies that instantly engulfed the ruins.
They were all ugly-looking, covered in dark blood and sweat, and their clothes hung on their bodies like tattered rags.
It was so densely packed that it was suffocating to look at.
Lin Yinan sat up abruptly, panting heavily.
The little thing inside her kicked her twice, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction, and she subconsciously touched it with her hand.
"Girl, you're awake!" Qianwu lifted the curtain and walked in.
"What time is it?"
Qianwu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and covered her mouth with her hand. "It's almost midnight, and the group is about to set off. I was thinking that if you didn't wake up soon, I would have the young master carry you onto the carriage."
Lin Yinan was taken aback; she hadn't realized she'd slept for so long.
The little one inside her kicked her twice more, and Lin Yinan hurriedly got up and dressed. Only then did she realize that her bladder was about to burst.
"Qianwu, help me up quickly."
Qianwu, being a perceptive person, immediately stepped forward to help her upon seeing this.
People at the camp were busy taking down their tents, preparing to set off again.
When Lin Yinan returned after taking care of her physiological needs, Qianwu had already brought her the meal.
Lin Yinan didn't recognize the braised bear paw in the earthenware pot at first glance.
"What's this?"
Qianwu thoughtfully handed Lin Yinan chopsticks and said gently, "Miss, this is bear paw."
"Bear paw?" Lin Yinan exclaimed in surprise, "Where did this bear paw come from?"
“Last night a bear attacked the camp. My son-in-law, along with my brother and the villagers, worked together to kill the black bear. My son-in-law thoughtfully left a bear paw for you and the old lady.”
Lin Yinan was even more confused, "Why didn't I hear that?"
"The girl was pregnant and tired during the day, so she slept soundly at night and naturally didn't hear it."
Lin Yinan fell into self-doubt. She was always a very alert person. Could it be that she had dreamt of her past life last night, which was why she hadn't heard a thing?
Seeing her stunned expression, Qianwu added, "The bear is on the hillside a hundred feet away from the camp. It's normal that you didn't hear it, and neither did the old lady and Young Master An. I heard it when I woke up this morning, and it's a pity that I didn't get to see the black bear that my brother was talking about."
Shortly after Lin Yinan finished breakfast, the team officially set off.
I traveled for several days in a row. The weather around the time of the Awakening of Insects was often thundery and rainy.
Lin Yinan and his team had been traveling downstream along a swollen stream for two days.
The river is not large, only a dozen or so feet wide, but the recent abundant rainfall has made the water turbid and turbulent.
That day, Lin Yinan woke up in the carriage, and the group had already set up camp in an open space by the river.
As her belly grew bigger, Lin Yinan found herself becoming increasingly sleepy lately. She could fall asleep immediately after eating and lying down, not to mention that the swaying motion of a carriage could quickly lull her to sleep.
The open space is surrounded by jagged cliffs, with sparse, unidentified weeds growing in the crevices of the rocks and moss covering the stones.
Everyone was busy, some setting up tents, others starting fires.
Because of the unstable weather, everyone would collect dry firewood along the way so that they wouldn't run out of firewood when they stopped to set up camp.
Lin Yinan got off the carriage, stretched out her arms, and looked around. She found that none of her children were to be seen.
Li Shulan carried Lin Zhiyan on her back to light a fire on the makeshift stove, while Lin Shuo, Lin Yiheng, Lin Qingxiang, Hu Shao, and several other men were setting up tents.
The old woman sat by the heated brick bed weaving straw sandals. On rainy days, the muddy roads were slippery, and the straw sandals wore out very quickly.
Lin Yinan stepped forward and asked Li Shulan, "Mother, where did An'er and the others go?"
Without turning her head, Li Shulan said, "They went to play with a group of children from the village. Go check on them when you have time, and make sure they don't go near the river."
"That's right, the river isn't big, but the water is very rapid, it looks quite scary," said Grandma Zhao, looking up at Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan replied, "I'll go take a look."
She walked through the busy crowd but couldn't see the village children. It was strange, because they usually wouldn't stray too far from the camp.
Lin Yinan strolled slowly along the riverbank, with patrolling guards and villagers passing by from time to time.
"Third Madam, where are you going?" the guard asked respectfully.
“I don’t know where the children have gone. I’m afraid they’ve gone to play in the river. I’m going to check on them.”
The guard pointed to a small open space ahead and said, "It's just ahead. I see two girls with them."
"Okay, thank you!"
The guard was somewhat taken aback. "This is what I should do. Madam, there's no need for such formalities."
Following the direction the guard pointed, Lin Yinan glanced up and saw Su Yunru and Lin Qiutao surrounding a group of children.
All the young children in the village were included.
Su Yunru caught a glimpse of Lin Yinan approaching from afar, and looking at Lin Yi'an beside Lin Qiutao, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. She lowered her head and whispered a few words in Lin Qiutao's ear.
Lin Qiutao looked up, her eyes immediately flashing with a fierce light.
Miss Su is right. Her brother is dead, so why is Lin Yinan's brother still alive and well?
Lin Qiutao pretended to lose her balance and bumped hard into Lin Yi'an beside her. Lin Yi'an's thin figure staggered, his calf was kicked hard, and he fell into the rushing river in pain.
Lu Changqing reached out and grabbed it, but only managed to tear off a piece of his sleeve.
Lin Yinan stared in horror, her eyes wide with rage. Ignoring her pregnant belly, she rushed forward, pulling out a bundle of climbing ropes from her spatial storage as she ran.
He tied one end of the rope to a large tree near Su Yunru and the others, and the other end through his armpits and tied tightly before leaping into the rushing river.
The moment Lin Yi'an fell into the water, the children screamed and cried.
Taking advantage of the children's crying, Su Yunru quickly went to the big tree. She reached out her hand and withdrew it several times before finally mustering the courage to untie the knots on it.
As long as Lin Yinan dies, the Third Young Master Yun will be hers.
Yunmo and the villagers in the camp were attracted by the sound and ran over.
As soon as Yun Mo reached the riverbank, he saw Lin Yinan leap into the water. He gathered his strength and flew up, reaching the riverbank in a few steps.
He gathered all his strength and slapped Su Yunru, who was trying to untie the ropes.
Su Yunru felt a sharp pain in her chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed limply to the ground.
Yun Mo kicked her away, then pulled on the rope in the tree and pulled back with all his might.
Lin Yinan was completely disoriented by the rushing, muddy river water. She finally managed to see Lin Yi'an's head bobbing up and down in the water, about to sink to the bottom.
She had no choice but to use her strength to swim faster to Lin Yi'an's side, and after several attempts, she finally managed to grab Lin Yi'an's hair.
