Lin Yinan noticed his blank stare and his constant frowning.
"How are you?"
Lin Yiheng looked at her with doting eyes, "You have to call me brother."
Lin Yinan was a little confused; hadn't he just seen through her not being the original owner of this body?
How did things turn around in such a short time?
Afterwards, Lin Yiheng repeated to Lin Yinan what Master Sichen had said earlier.
"You are my sister!"
So, is she just a lost soul of the original owner? Or is it a lie that Lin Yiheng made up to justify accepting her?
Neither of them will harm her.
Lin Yiheng tentatively asked, "Can you tell me about your experiences in the other world?"
Unexpectedly, he asked this question. Coming to her senses, Lin Yinan briefly told him about her decades in the apocalypse.
After hearing this, Lin Yiheng felt an indescribable heartache welling up inside him.
It turns out that the other soul of my sister suffered so much in another world, which is why she developed such extraordinary abilities.
“Anan, from now on, your brother will protect you! I will keep this secret to myself, and you must never tell anyone else.”
Lin Yiheng spoke to her earnestly, word by word.
A warm feeling washed over Lin Yinan; from now on, she would have her brother protecting her.
"Brother," she called out sincerely.
Lin Yiheng's eyes were clear. "Anan, thank you for protecting my mother, my brother, and my grandmother all this way."
“We’re family, let’s not talk about these things. Come on, let’s go back and I’ll cook you some beef offal.”
Lin Yinan, in a cheerful mood, strode towards the camp with her sword in hand.
Seeing this, Lin Yiheng, who was following behind, curled the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Yiheng..."
Su Yunzhi had just entered the woods with her sword when she saw the departing figures of the brother and sister.
He wanted to spar with them, so why is he going back so soon?
Upon returning to the camp, Lin Yiheng was summoned away by the village chief, who asked him and Lin Shuo to discuss something.
Lin Yinan went back and washed her hands, then began to cut the tripe and intestines that Old Mrs. Zhao had washed and put in the basin the night before.
After cutting up the beef intestines and tripe, she also cut up a whole piece of beef and put it in the earthenware pot.
She picked up her bundle, which contained many seasonings she had released from her spatial storage the night before, and put some of each into the pot.
"Sister, why did you put bits of grass into the meat?"
Lin Yi'an saw the spices floating on the water, tilted her little head, and asked in confusion.
"Those are spices; meat cooked with them smells wonderful."
Lin Yinan gently pinched his little nose.
Before long, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the pot.
The Yun family members were cutting down trees in the forest. Yun Er, holding an axe, straightened up and kept twitching his nose.
"Yunwu, can you smell it?"
All the guards shook their heads.
Yun Wu sniffed hard twice, then asked in confusion, "What is this? I can't smell it."
"The taste of beef."
Yun Er was quite intoxicated by the taste. He suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Oh! I completely forgot that Miss Lin is stewing beef!"
He threw down the axe and ran away.
"Yunwu, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll be right back."
A moment later, Yun Mo returned from releasing a carrier pigeon in the forest, but Yun Er was nowhere to be seen.
"Has Yun Er gone off to slack off again?"
Yun Wu, "He..."
“Master, I’m here.”
Yun Er walked from the direction of the camp carrying a large bowl.
Everyone smelled the aroma of meat. "What meat is this? It smells so good!"
Yun Mo frowned. "What are you holding?"
Yun Er chuckled at him, "The offal I traded with Miss Lin, let me tell you, its color, aroma, and taste are absolutely amazing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed forward, and the meat in the bowl was reduced to less than half in an instant.
Yun Mo stepped forward and pushed aside the people surrounding him. Before Yun Er could react, he snatched the bowl from his hand.
Yun Erlian didn't even manage to save the last half bowl of meat.
"Master, please give me at least two more pieces."
"Serves you right! Who told you to come here and show off?" Yun Wu said gloatingly from the side.
"I just wanted all my brothers to try it."
Yun Er died unjustly. He picked up the axe on the ground and vented his anger on the tree.
The area around the village was barren, with not even grass roots to dig up, so the women all stayed in the camp to sew and mend.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Yinan lay down in the makeshift shed for a nap.
"Auntie, is Sister Anan here?"
Liu Ji's voice came from outside the shed.
Through the gaps in the shed, Liu Ji stood outside carrying a small bag of grain.
"Liu Ji, why did you come here?" Li Shulan felt very sorry for the young brother and sister who had lost their father.
"I need to speak with Anan."
Lin Yinan lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent.
"What is it?"
“I, I…” Liu Ji took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, “I want to learn kung fu from you.”
After saying that, he knelt down and handed the grain sack to her.
"I don't take on apprentices, but I can give you a couple of pointers. You can take the grain back."
Lin Yinan greatly admired this tenacious boy.
Liu Ji was stunned. They agreed so quickly. He had prepared so many reasons to say it.
"Come on, what are you still kneeling on the ground doing, standing there like an idiot?"
Lin Yinan walked past him and headed outside.
"Okay, coming right away."
Liu Ji was overjoyed. He put the grain sack in Li Shulan's arms and strode after her.
Lin Yinan asked Liu Ji to demonstrate the kung fu he had learned.
Liu Ji's swordsmanship is very disciplined, which shows that he has been taught by a master. It is good for strengthening the body, but it is not very effective against Hu people and bandits.
It seems that he had a clear understanding of himself before asking me to teach him kung fu.
With limited time, Lin Yinan directly taught him how to quickly kill the enemy with a single blow.
Liu Ji was quick to learn and mastered the movements.
"You can't do it this way. You'll hurt the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own. It's not worth it."
Yun Mo leaned against a tree with a blade of grass between his teeth and clicked his tongue.
Lin Yinan glanced at him; she didn't even know when he had appeared.
"If you're so good, then you do it."
Yun Mo threw the grass out of his mouth and said, "I'll do it. You watch from the side."
As she watched, Lin Yinan's expression grew serious. This person had slightly modified some of her movements, making them more lethal and preventing the other party from easily harming her.
After practicing for a few rounds, Lin Yinan was covered in sweat.
"Isn't it even better?" Yun Mo asked with a pleased expression, looking at her rosy cheeks.
"It's really good."
Liu Ji continued practicing, while Lin Yinan sheathed her sword and prepared to go back.
"We're planning to set off tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to come along?" Yun Mo asked, almost as if possessed, recalling the legend of the flying pigeon that Yun Yi had given him.
Lin Yinan stopped in her tracks. "Didn't we say we'd rest here for three days?"
“It’s already late October, and the weather is getting colder. I want to get to Gudao County as soon as possible to join up with the other people in my clan.”
The Central Plains were about to descend into chaos, and Yun Mo did not reveal the large number of people fleeing south that Yun Yi had mentioned in his letter.
With the Yun family leading the way, the people of Linjia Village will encounter fewer obstacles on their journey. It will definitely be better to travel with them than to go on their own.
