Lin Yinan took out a black cotton mask from his pocket and put it on his face.
"Grandma, I'm good at kung fu, so I'm not afraid of anyone who tries to steal my grain," she said, patting the bow and arrows on her back and the knife hanging at her waist.
Grandma Zhao wanted to say something more, but Lin Yiheng stopped her.
"Grandma, let my sister and I go."
“Mother, let the brother and sister go. If they keep arguing, it’ll be past midnight,” Li Shulan said.
In the end, Old Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to agree.
As a prefectural city, Jiancheng's main streets are patrolled by soldiers from time to time at night.
Lin Yiheng drove his open carriage, avoiding the main roads of the city and weaving through the alleys. Almost all the people in the city had fled, and the sound of the horse's hooves was particularly clear in the night.
The carriage wound its way through five or six dilapidated alleys, before finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous, run-down house.
"Little sister, we've arrived. This is my classmate's house."
Lin Yinan nimbly jumped off the carriage, looked around, and found no one nearby. She shook her head at Lin Yiheng.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, Lin Yiheng quickly pulled the carriage into the courtyard.
Lin Yinan followed closely and closed the courtyard gate.
"The grain was stored in the cellar."
Lin Yiheng pulled aside an inconspicuous stone slab on the ground, took out a tinderbox, lit it, and shone it into the cellar.
"The food is still there." After saying that, he jumped down.
In the dim firelight, five large sacks could be clearly seen neatly stacked in the cellar.
Lin Yinan was somewhat dumbfounded. He hadn't escaped the disaster and probably didn't know how difficult the journey had been.
"Brother, have you ever thought that hauling so much grain on the road is too conspicuous and could easily attract trouble?"
Lin Yiheng was speechless. He had only thought about buying grain and had never imagined that the situation would be so dire.
Lin Yinan carefully told Lin Yiheng about the space.
The space contains food and water, and there will always be an excuse to take them out later. It would be better to reach an agreement with the original owner's brother now and have him cover for me.
"Brother, look closely."
Lin Yinan placed her hand on the sack, and then the top sack disappeared into thin air.
"Hey, where did that bag of grain go?"
Lin Yiheng was holding the tinderbox, his mind still reeling, when the bag of grain reappeared in its original spot, leaving him utterly shocked.
Before he could speak, Lin Yinan said, "Brother, this is my space."
Then, she made up a story, saying that when she went back to save Lin Yi'an, she accidentally picked up a money bag on the street, and when she touched it, the money bag disappeared.
She then discovered that the money bag was inside her head; she could see inside it and even put things inside, while others couldn't see it.
After a long while, Lin Yiheng finally came to his senses and said with a serious expression, "Sister, that is a blessing from heaven. The world is dangerous, so you must not tell anyone."
"Brother, I didn't tell anyone but you."
Seeing his clear eyes and his single-minded concern for her, it seemed that Lin Yiheng was a trustworthy older brother.
Lin Yiheng was deeply moved. His sister hadn't even told their mother and grandmother about such a big thing, only telling him. This showed how important he was to his sister.
Then, Lin Yinan put the five sacks of grain into his spatial storage, leaving only one sack on the ground.
Lin Yiheng was dumbfounded. He took her hand and examined it closely. Her fingers were fair and slender, with nothing on them except for the thick calluses from years of martial arts training.
"Brother, we'll just leave one bag outside. Anyway, only you and Afu will know how much grain we bought," Lin Yinan said with a smile, pulling her hand back.
"My sister is so smart!" Lin Yiheng praised without reservation.
As soon as Lin Yinan climbed out of the cellar, she heard footsteps approaching from the alleyway entrance.
She quickly took the tinder from Lin Yiheng's hand, blew it out, and gestured for him to be quiet. She then took two steps behind the door and peered out through the crack.
Just then, two people carrying torches passed by the door.
Just then, Lin Yinan's pupils suddenly contracted.
