Chapter 62 I want to see what kind of person she is.
That day, the father-in-law and husband went hunting together as usual. They carried bows and arrows, daggers, and other tools, embarking on their journey to find prey with high hopes. Only Old Man Zhang, she, and their young child remained at home. The adults were busy with housework inside, chatting quietly and occasionally teasing the adorable child, their laughter filling the entire room.
But no one expected that at that moment, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps approached from afar. Before they could react, a group of fierce-looking strangers surged into the house like a tidal wave. Each of these people was armed with a sharp blade, their faces contorted with rage. As soon as they entered, without saying a word, they brandished their weapons and pounced on the people inside.
In an instant, the once warm and peaceful home was transformed into a bloody and terrifying slaughterhouse. Tables and chairs were overturned, porcelain shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and screams of agony filled the air. Faced with such a brutal scene, Zhang Junting was terrified and panicked, not knowing what to do.
At this critical moment, Old Zhang activated a mechanism to trip the enemy, then hid the mother and daughter in a very secluded secret room in his house, instructing them not to come out no matter what sound they heard.
And so, the mother and child huddled together, tightly clutching their baby, shivering in the dark, cramped cubicle. Through the crack in the door, they watched helplessly as the thugs outside slaughtered their family, tears streaming down their faces. But they dared not make a sound, lest they attract the attention of those murderous demons.
It was in this secret room that she learned about Yu Qinghe's background. She never expected that Yu Qinghe, who came from a hunter background, was actually a criminal from the previous dynasty who should have been executed along with his entire family. However, he was able to survive because his subordinate, Old Man Yu, replaced his young master with his own son.
Unable to find anything, the enemy set the house on fire and left.
Zhang Junting waited at home for three days, but her husband and father-in-law still didn't return. She searched all the surrounding mountains and forests, but couldn't find any trace of her husband. Instead, wave after wave of pursuers came after her. She had no choice but to leave a letter and go down the mountain with her son to escape the pursuit.
Unexpectedly, they encountered two men who had come to investigate. Seeing the woman's beautiful face and graceful figure, they were immediately filled with wicked thoughts. Completely disregarding the presence of a young child, they attempted to take advantage of her in public.
The woman was terrified, clutching her young son tightly and pleading with the two wicked men to spare them. However, these two heartless bastards were not about to give up so easily. One of them, his face contorted with rage, reached out his claws, grabbed the child and tossed him aside, then lunged at the woman.
Just when Zhang Junting was in despair.
The youngest son pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere. His eyes widened as he glared at the villain who was about to commit a heinous act. In the next instant, summoning all his courage, he swiftly plunged the dagger into the man's neck! At the same time, he shouted, "Don't you dare bully my mother!"
Perhaps because they were completely unprepared for the child, he killed one of them directly. However, it was the four-year-old child's first time killing someone. Seeing so much blood, he cried loudly in fright. The other person cursed and tried to strangle the younger son. Fortunately, Zhang Junting reacted quickly and picked up a dagger to stab the man in the heart.
She wasn't satisfied and stabbed him several more times!
Only after seeing that the person had completely stopped breathing did he burst into tears.
We've finally made it through safely!
The child kept crying, and Zhang Junting quickly comforted the child. She knew in her heart that it was dangerous for a woman to go out alone, and even more dangerous for a beautiful woman.
What's more, she's a beautiful woman with a child.
It's actually a sad thing to be good-looking but lack talent.
As long as I still have this face, this kind of thing can never be stopped.
She glanced silently at the child who had been soothed to sleep beside her, picked up the dagger she had just dropped, and silently made a decision in her heart.
After a long while, the youngest son woke up and was terrified by the ugly face in front of him. He burst into tears.
Zhang Junting told her son sternly, "Don't cry. A boy should stand tall and upright; there's no reason for him to shed tears so easily."
"mother……"
"..."
Alas, Zhang Junting's little home on the mountain has been destroyed, and her husband's name is just an alias. In the vast sea of people, finding someone whose name is unknown is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
The only consolation was that she found her family. Although she was already married and her face was disfigured, her family took pity on her and kept her in seclusion, which made it easier for her to secretly raise her son.
When Ali regained consciousness, her gaze towards Zhang Junting held a hint of sympathy.
Even so, it's impossible for me to "knowingly walk into the tiger's den."
This woman's sudden collision must have been for a purpose.
She's not one of those heroines who knowingly go out to "see what other people are up to" when there's danger.
So Ali simply replied perfunctorily, "I appreciate Madam Zhang's kindness, and I will definitely pay her a visit when the opportunity arises."
Not wanting to say more to Zhang Junting, she quickly said goodbye and left.
Unbeknownst to them, their actions today had been noticed by both sides, who secretly returned home to report to their masters.
That evening, Yu Yang secretly went to a pavilion behind a large mansion to meet someone.
The man wiped his bamboo flute alone, his tone completely unsurprised: "I knew you'd come."
Yu Yang looked displeased: "Don't tell me this is a coincidence. You usually keep a low profile." He deliberately emphasized the last four words.
If Ali were here, he would find that the person standing opposite him was actually Zhang Junting, whom he had met during the day.
Looking at Yu Yang, Zhang Junting's eyes were full of doting and love: "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to see what kind of person she is."
"Don't make things difficult for her."
After saying this, Yu Yang was about to leave. Zhang Junting stopped him:
"This bamboo flute was passed down to me by your great-grandfather. Today I'm giving it to you. Play a tune for me."
Yu Yang remained silent and quietly began playing the only piece the woman had taught him.
"..." The melody was melodious and gentle, yet it was also filled with endless sorrow and a deep sense of powerlessness.
When the song ended, both of them were in tears.
Zhang Junting was feeling sad about her own experience, while Yu Yang thought that since everyone else was crying their eyes out, he should just play along.
Zhang Junting said, "Because of my biological father, they have no choice but to provide good food and drink for my mother and me. You can use me, his biological father, if necessary."
"Ah."
Zhang Junting waved her hand: "Go ahead."
"it is good."
