"Sigh~~~"

A sharp pain shot through her, causing Tang Xinyan to slowly open her eyes. After taking in her surroundings, she was stunned.

Where is she? Tang Xinyan closed her eyes, then opened them again. Uh, the scene hadn't changed. She remembered that she was looking at houses, wasn't she?

After clearing her dazed mind, Tang Xinyan remembered that she was planning how to arrange her bedroom when the room suddenly started shaking.

Immediately afterwards, screams rang out, and then, nothing more. Was she... caught in a major earthquake?

Judging from the appearance, the place where she is seems to be a cave. Could it be that she was rescued? Could this be a temporary shelter in the base?

But why didn't she see anyone else? And how come she remembered that the base was on a plain, and there didn't seem to be any mountains around it at all?

Could it be that she had been unconscious for a long time? Had she been transported to another city for emergency treatment? Thinking of this, Tang Xinyan tried to struggle to sit up.

She felt completely weak, and a sharp pain shot through her head, causing her consciousness to gradually fade. Before she knew it, Tang Xinyan had fallen asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Xinyan woke up again. This time, she felt a little better.

The pain in her head was still intense. Tang Xinyan, supporting herself against the cave wall, slowly sat up, and then, two short legs came into view...

"Nani?"

A little confused, Tang Xinyan instinctively reached out her hand, only to find that it was extremely small, about the size of a four- or five-year-old child's hand.

Her arms are extremely short... What, what's going on? She seems to have shrunk? Could it be that people with superpowers in the apocalypse shrink when they get injured?

Oh my god! Isn't she in great danger now? Tang Xinyan shuddered and wanted to find a mirror to check herself, but there didn't seem to be any in this cave.

Although she has it in her space, she doesn't understand the situation yet, so it's best not to reveal it carelessly. After all, she's just a "little piece of trash" right now.

As she pondered, Tang Xinyan's stomach rumbled. Feeling the hunger rising within her, she slowly looked around, searching for something to eat.

Unfortunately, there was no food in sight. But that makes sense; food is the most precious commodity in the apocalypse, so it wouldn't be left lying around.

Her storage space was overflowing with food, but she was afraid of being exposed. Yet, she was truly starving, and ultimately, hunger triumphed over reason.

However, before eating, Tang Xinyan carefully sensed her surroundings and, after confirming that no one was around, she quietly took out the food to eat.

Tang Xinyan was eating her homemade rice balls, which were not only tasteless but also extremely small. Using her spatial ability, she ate them one bite at a time, making them difficult to spot.

She made this specifically so she could sneak food in a crowd, since in the apocalypse, it's inevitable to encounter people in groups.

After filling her stomach, Tang Xinyan lay back down, thinking about the ceiling suddenly looming down before she fell into darkness, and her shrunken body.

Tang Xinyan felt that she must be seriously injured, but she didn't know her current situation or whether she could use the top-level healing potions from the space.

Regardless of the situation, with such a small frame, everything is inconvenient. Recovery might expose him, but at least he'd have a fighting chance in dangerous situations.

She needed to recover as soon as possible before she could plan what to do next. With that in mind, Tang Xinyan found a healing potion in her spatial storage and gulped it down.

Immediately, the wound on his head began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his weak body gradually regained its strength.

After the wounds had completely healed, Tang Xinyan felt that her body had returned to health, but... she looked at her limbs and wondered why she was still in the form of a child.

Unconvinced, Tang Xinyan drank another dose of the potion, but apart from feeling comfortable, her body didn't change at all.

Does it mean it has to recover slowly? Forget it, let's just give up. At worst, the little short legs will move faster and try to escape.

However, her injuries had finally healed, and Tang Xinyan couldn't stay in bed any longer. She decided to investigate where the cave was.

The cave was very small. Apart from the wooden door blocking the entrance, there was nothing of any decent value inside. Even the spot where she had just been lying was only covered with some straw and blankets.

The firewood pile inside the cave had long since gone out, but fortunately, on the other side of the cave, there were some slightly larger gaps and holes of varying sizes.

It could provide some light into the cave, so it wouldn't be completely dark. Tang Xinyan discovered that there was another small cave on the side of the main cave.

Fearing someone might be inside, Tang Xinyan held her breath and cautiously approached little by little. Only after confirming that no one was inside did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But her doubts only deepened. Why did it seem like she was the only one here? Suppressing her unease, Tang Xinyan cautiously opened the wooden door.

The trees outside were lush and the air was fresh. Tang Xinyan, who hadn't seen green plants in a long time, was a little disoriented. Where was she?

But no one gave her an answer. Helpless, Tang Xinyan had no choice but to give up thinking. Remembering the small pool of water in the side cave, she decided to go wash her face.

Arriving at the small pond, Tang Xinyan squatted down. Just as she was marveling at how clear the water was, she was stunned by her reflection in the water!

She? Me? Who is this? Me? ?? Looking at the small face that mirrored her own expression but looked completely different, Tang Xinyan stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

Was she dreaming? But the throbbing pain in her head ruled out the possibility of dreaming.

Thinking back on the many novels she had read, Tang Xinyan suddenly... considered a possibility... Could it be? She was already dead?!

Then, she was resurrected in another's body? Or perhaps... she even traveled through time...?!

Considering this possibility, and knowing that there was indeed no one around, Tang Xinyan immediately took out a full-length mirror and placed it in front of her.

Looking in the mirror at the little girl dressed in ancient costume, her hair styled in a bun, her features delicate and adorable, like a little fairy, Tang Xinyan fell completely silent...

So, she was taken away by the earthquake...? Thinking of her past life, Tang Xinyan plopped down on the ground, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

In her previous life, Tang Xinyan was born in a small mountain village. Although her family was not wealthy, her parents were hardworking and they lived a comfortable life.

Because Tang's mother was in poor health, she only gave birth to Tang Xinyan. Although she was a girl, her parents treated her like a precious jewel.

Tang Xinyan is very smart and sensible. She not only often helps with chores at home, but also has excellent academic performance. Although she is a girl, she is the "other people's child" in the eyes of the villagers.
