Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 617 - 615: Running Back and Forth

Traveling under the night sky of the Great Tang is definitely not a pleasant experience, even if you’re riding a high-end mountain bike suitable for complex terrains.

The unpaved country roads are truly bumpy. Lin Wanwan felt sore all over, much like riding a galloping horse.

However, aside from the bad road conditions, there were no unexpected incidents.

Ordinary people in the Great Tang don’t have much of a nightlife; to conserve energy and food, they usually go to bed early.

Otherwise, Lin Wanwan, in her black raincoat, riding a bicycle with a flashlight hat on her head, would surely frighten many, and she might even be mistaken for a demon and attacked.

The common folks in the countryside of the Great Tang aren’t pushovers, especially around Chang’an City; they are mostly government soldiers— farmhands in peacetime, soldiers in wartime. During the busy farming season, they work in the fields; when it’s slack, they bring their own weapons and food to train in the barracks.

Lin Wanwan didn’t ride straight to Chang’an City in one go. If she did, she might randomly trigger the Space-Time Gate in the modern era, and that would be disastrous, since cameras are everywhere in modern times, it’s hard to guard against being exposed.

Her plan was to ride about 40 kilometers, then find a secluded spot in the mountains and forests to travel back to the modern era to the rented party villa, put everything including the bicycle in order, and then take a hired car from the modern world back to the courtyard.

Then, travel through time from the courtyard back to the Tang Dynasty mountains and forests. For the remaining ten kilometers to Chang’an City, she would walk, which was the most prudent approach.

The only possible place for exposure here was if Xiao Yixun and Sun Simiao shared information.

Of course, the probability is very low; Xiao Yixun’s personality isn’t one to chat with Elder Sun. She is more likely to communicate with little Qingyu.

Lin Wanwan left a message for her Tang family that she was accompanying Elder Sun Simiao into the mountains to gather herbs, and created the illusion for outsiders that she was at Sun Simiao’s residence.

But in reality, Elder Sun had gone into the mountains since yesterday; Lin Wanwan knew his residence in Guangde Square was unoccupied.

However, no matter how comprehensive Lin Wanwan’s arrangements were, the premise for not being exposed was actually not being suspected. If suspicion arose, it wouldn’t withstand scrutiny.

Just like secret agents in hard times, the safest agents are always those without doubts. Once suspected and targeted, no matter how cautious the agent, mistakes will be made because their opponents are equally strong.

Lin Wanwan never thought that the ancient people in Great Tang Chang’an City were easy to deal with. Li Tai, Li Lizhi, these teenagers all had Seven-orifice Exquisite Hearts.

If Lin Wanwan didn’t have history and millennia of civilization to back her, she might not even be able to handle them.

Especially Li Tai, the little chubby, knowledgeable and quick-witted. He is so favored by Li Shimin, how could he not have some skills?

She was cautious step by step in Chang’an City, not daring to be arrogant at all.

Thus, Lin Wanwan kept traveling through the latter half of the night, and the finishing tasks went smoothly.

After cycling about forty kilometers, it reached the darkest hour before dawn in the Great Tang, and Lin Wanwan found a secluded place to travel through time back to the modern era.

Upon returning, Lin Wanwan checked her phone to find that fifty minutes had passed, which meant she cycled for about 3.3 hours in the Great Tang, roughly the cycling time she calculated would be needed for 40 kilometers.

Oh, it was truly exhausting!

Returning the party villa was very convenient, done online.

However, renting for a day costs three thousand five hundred, and Lin Wanwan didn’t even play, which felt like a waste. She simply went to the villa bathroom to take a shower, washing off the road dust.

After showering, Lin Wanwan ordered a car using a mobile app, noting that the trunk needed to be empty, as she wanted to transport the mountain bike back to the courtyard, she couldn’t bear to leave it behind.

Sitting in the chartered car driving to the courtyard, Lin Wanwan was truly emotional; the modern world is so convenient and comfortable!

When she returned to the courtyard, there was no movement in the neighboring yard; Lu Shouyue probably went to the Ancient Capital University or Antique Street.

After securing the mountain bike, Lin Wanwan entered the courtyard, changed into a simple-colored ancient outfit made of linen, tied her hair up simply, and wore a scarf over her head to cover half her hair and face. With that, she took on the image of a country girl, then traveled through time back to the Great Tang.

For the remaining ten kilometers, to be safe, she could only walk.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, and Lin Wanwan didn’t even dare to bring a flashlight, for this place was not far from Chang’an City, and she had to proceed cautiously.

When the first light of dawn appeared, Lin Wanwan finally arrived at Tonghua Gate.

At this time, many people were already waiting to enter the city, including local residents and foreign merchants, and some early risers were pushing carts selling food.

A single farm girl like Lin Wanwan was actually quite rare, but because of the crowd at the city gate, no one paid special attention to her.

The morning drum rang, and the city gate opened. People inside queued to leave, and those outside queued to enter. Although bustling, it remained orderly.

Kun Lun driving a carriage soon came into Lin Wanwan’s sight, and without a word, she ran over and jumped into the carriage.

Although her attire was completely different from usual, Kun Lun recognized her immediately.

Because Lin Wanwan’s form and steps were already deeply engraved in the heart of this loyal slave.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Wanwan pulled the curtain tightly, then once again traveled through time back to the modern era. This time, she needed to change into her usual silk Hanfu and style her hair nicely — which she couldn’t do herself, so she used an all-in-one wig.

Once ready, Lin Wanwan traveled back into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to Kun Lun: "Good Kun Lun, let’s go back."

"Mm!" Kun Lun flicked the whip, and the carriage wobbled out of the city gate.

Lin Wanwan’s frequent time traveling that night was extremely draining, leaving her face paler than usual. The carriage, without shock absorbers and rubber tires, jolted so much that Lin Wanwan tragically got carsick.

Feeling dizzy and nauseous from the bumpy ride all the way to the manor gate, she had wobbly steps when getting off, startling the maids and servants who had gotten the news to welcome her.

"Madam, why do you look so unwell? Did you catch a cold gathering herbs in the mountains?" Hong Yan, with a scratch on her face, came up to support her.

Lin Wanwan waved her hand: "I got carsick, cook me a bowl of sour plum soup."

"Yes," Hua Nong responded immediately.

Dressed in all white with a white fox in her arms, Xiao Yixun standing in the main room looked at Lin Wanwan as she entered unsteadily, her face pale. With a furrowed brow, she asked, "What happened to you?"

Lin Wanwan grimaced: "Don’t mention it, I feel awful. I need to rest for a while, don’t let anyone disturb me."

Once in the room, Lin Wanwan took down her hair and lay down to rest.

A moment later, Hua Nong brought sour plum soup, but Lin Wanwan could only manage two sips before stopping: "Take it away, and don’t disturb me, I need to catch up on some sleep."

"Yes."
