Zhang Qingshan?
Upon hearing these three words, everyone's first thought was Zhangqing Mountain, but they quickly realized something else.
A person?
One person?
Is she talking about a person named Zhangqing Mountain?
Xia Yong and the others were momentarily stunned.
However, there are many people in the world who share the same name, not to mention a mountain...
"This person is very impressive?" Xia Yong casually asked.
Miss Jun nodded.
"Very impressive," she said. "The vaccination was taught to me by him."
Vaccination.
Xia Yong was taken aback again.
It was indeed impressive... But, the vaccination? Wasn't it a hereditary skill of the Jun Family? Taught by someone else? Someone else...
Xia Yong's heart suddenly began to pound rapidly. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Miss Jun said it for him.
"Didn't you ask me if anyone had ever mentioned vaccination to me?" she looked at him, her voice a bit hoarse, "I didn't answer at that time."
She didn't answer?
Xia Yong felt his mind was in turmoil, he couldn't remember clearly and had no thoughts to think about it anymore.
"Now I'm telling you, there was someone." Miss Jun continued, "Not only did he mention it, but he also told me how to do it. He said that the person who can do such a thing is hardly human, so he didn't do it, he just taught me."
Xia Yong suddenly felt as if his brain exploded, as if someone had punched him in the face, making his eyes and nose burn.
That person!
That him!
Hearing what Miss Jun said and seeing Xia Yong's thunderstruck appearance, the others were a bit puzzled.
"Second Uncle, what are you talking about?" The woman asked.
Xia Yong was still somewhat dazed, and Miss Jun turned to her.
"May I see your daughter?" she asked.
The woman was taken aback, why suddenly bring this up again?
"Sister-in-law," Xia Yong called out in a hoarse voice, "let her see Niuniu."
The woman looked at him, then at Miss Jun, seemingly puzzled but also as if she understood something. However, she did not ask further.
"Sure," she said with a soft smile, "Follow me."
The tranquility seemed to have returned to the mountain village, and as the group walked along the mountain path listening to the birds singing in the woods, they no longer paid attention to the Hidden Formation and any animals that may have been caught in it.
"Stick close to me, don't walk around randomly, there are many Hidden Formations here." Miss Jun whispered to Lei Zhonglian and a few other guards.
Seeing her saying this, Yang Jing, who originally wanted to say something, kept silent, glancing at Xia Yong, whose face showed neither surprise nor a mix of joy and sorrow.
Soon, the group arrived again in front of the house on the mountain.
"Is there a way to leave from here?" Miss Jun couldn't help asking.
The government soldiers had surrounded the village earlier, and everyone was either outside or in hiding, but this girl was left here. If there weren't complete preparations, they surely wouldn't do that, right?
"Yes, someone here will take Niuniu and leave." Yang Jing said.
"Do you know how to leave?" Xia Yong suddenly blurted out.
Miss Jun sighed, feeling somewhat heartbroken.
"I don't know," she said.
The master never mentioned the past to her; she only knew that based on her master's habits, they would definitely have full preparations here. As for what those preparations were, she only knew when she saw them.
Before Xia Yong could ask anything else, the woman had already stood in front of the door.
"Niuniu," she called softly while pushing the door.
The door was still locked from inside. After the woman called the name and knocked for a while, the door was carefully opened.
"Mom," the girl timidly called out, barely opening a crack before seeing Miss Jun approaching. She suddenly screamed in shock and slammed the door shut again.
"I don't want to see the doctor."
A shrill voice came from inside.
"I am not a doctor." Miss Jun also stepped forward to knock on the door, "I'm really not a doctor."
The girl inside was clearly agitated and kept saying something in a sharp and rapid voice that was hard to make out.
Miss Jun pressed her ear against the door and finally made out the girl's words.
"I am sick, I am sick, my dad doesn't want me."
As these words reached her ears, Miss Jun felt a sting in her eyes as tears fell, and she pushed the door hard once more.
"Your dad hasn't abandoned you; he asked me to come and treat you," she shouted.
As these words were spoken, there was silence inside and out.
The girl inside showed no reaction, but the woman standing nearby looked at her.
"What did you say?" she asked.
Her voice was still calm, Miss Jun also looked at her, standing so close she could see the woman's body was trembling slightly.
"Elder sister-in-law is elder brother, she knows elder brother..." Xia Yong could no longer contain his excitement and shouted.
Yang Jing looked astounded.
"Elder brother?" He grabbed Xia Yong, then looked at Miss Jun, "You mean elder brother?"
When Miss Jun previously said your father sent me to treat the illness, he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just to placate a child.
But now Xia Yong was saying such things.
Elder brother, elder brother?
"Yes, she knows elder brother, it's elder brother who sent her..." Xia Yong's pent-up emotions made him too excited to control himself, he said urgently.
The woman turned her head.
"Second uncle, let her speak," she said.
Her voice was not loud, spoken gently and softly, yet it had power, and the agitated Xia Yong immediately stopped talking, clenching his hands as he stood to the side.
"Miss Jun, do you know Zhao Zhiyi?" the woman asked again calmly.
Zhao Zhiyi?
"I don't know if he still goes by that name," Miss Jun shook her head, "He told me his name was Zhang Qingshan."
"Then how can you be sure that the person you're talking about is from here?" the woman asked.
"Because you could easily capture me," Miss Jun said, "And I could also easily escape from you. The skills I know, you know, and the ones you know, I also know; all were taught to me by him."
So that's how it is?
"No wonder they said you managed to set up the Earth Net right in the camp," Xia Yong couldn't help but interject again, "No wonder you could find the Heavenly Net."
As he spoke, he became excited again and couldn't help step forward.
"Then elder brother, he..."
The woman gave him a glance, cutting off his words.
"Then who is he to you?" she asked Miss Jun.
Who is he to me, Miss Jun hesitated for a moment.
Jun Zhenzhen is only sixteen years old now... how many years should she say she studied?
"How old are you this year?" the woman suddenly asked.
Miss Jun was stunned, not immediately understanding the point of the question.
Yang Jing, on the other hand, seemed to realize something, his expression changing subtly as he looked at Miss Jun, as if trying to detect some familiar features on the girl's face.
Not everyone knew Earth Net or Heavenly Net, or the other techniques; many were arrangements he had made beforehand.
But this young lady was clearly very familiar with all the mechanisms here, as if he had returned in person.
He had said that the things he knew should not be passed on lightly.
So if this young lady had received his true teachings, she must be no ordinary person to him.
Could it be... his daughter?
If it really were his daughter, that would be too heartbreaking.
Yang Jing clenched his fist, wishing then that he never returned.
After a moment of bewilderment, Miss Jun understood the expressions of the woman and Yang Jing and instantly came to a realization.
"I am already sixteen," she said with a smile, the question which initially seemed difficult to explain now became something she could happily disclose.
Upon these words, Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Niuniu is only fifteen," he couldn't help but happily tell the woman.
This meant that chronologically, Miss Jun could not possibly be elder brother's daughter.
"He is my teacher, he..." Miss Jun also smiled, continuing to say.
But she was interrupted by the woman before finishing.
"Miss Jun, you have mistaken the person, we do not know your teacher," she said, her expression calm and voice gentle.
Miss Jun was taken aback, while Yang Jing and Xia Yong were also slightly stunned.
"The person named Zhao Zhiyi we are talking about has already died," the woman continued to say.
Yang Jing and Xia Yong wore complex expressions.
"Elder sister-in-law," they both said in unison.
Regardless of whether the woman's words were spoken out of love or hate, Miss Jun felt a sudden pang in her heart and tears fell.
Indeed, that person really had died.
