The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 4. The Zhang Family 2
Meanwhile Zhang Qiaofeng who saw his mother injured immediately brought her inside the house and tried to treat her.
"Mother, why did you even leave the house!? I should've stayed inside to be safer." Zhang Qioafeng said frantically as he tore his sleeve to treat Zhang An's shoulder which was still shedding a lot of blood.
Zhang An only smiled faintly as he looked at his daughter's face, then he said softly. "Feng'er, this mother is very worried about you, you know? I went out of the house intending to look for you but accidentally my shoulder was even hit by an enemy machete."
Zhang Qioafeng ignored his mother's words. After looking at some of the streets of blood on her shoulders, this girl was busy wrapping the cloth around her mother's shoulders.
"It's free Feng'er.This wound is not an ordinary wound, the enemy's machete has been coated with a very strong poison. Even though you've cut my blood's way, it's too late, this poison has entered my heart and your mother is unlikely to be saved again." He said again with a voice that was getting weaker and a face that was getting pale, but his lips still showed a smile full of tenderness and affection.
"No..no way!!! Mother you must have survived, trust me!" Shouted Zhang Qiaofeng with teary eyes imagining that he would soon lose his mother figure.
Actually, without being told, this girl was also aware that her mother's wound was a toxic wound. This was clearly visible from the blood coming out of Zhang An's shoulders dark red even almost black, this was the most recognizable sign if one had been exposed to the poison. With Zhang An's weakened body condition, then the poison could easily gnaw on Zhang An's body in no time.
However, Zhang Qiaofeng did not want to admit that, and continued to convince himself that the poison was only a low-grade poison whose effect was not very great. But whatever the power, no matter how hard he tried to convince himself and strengthen his heart that his mother would be fine, he said, this girl will still not be able to change the reality and destiny that was supposed to happen.
"Mother..." Finally Zhang Qiaofeng could not hold back his tears and wept in his mother's warm embrace.
Zhang An only smiled gently as he hugged his daughter tightly.
"Just calm down Feng'er.I will always see you from up there.You also still have Lin Tian who will always take care of you.so don't cry my daughter, your beauty will fade if your face is adorned with tears." Zhang An said in an increasingly weak voice.
"Remember Feng'er.I will always...." He continued before the beautiful woman breathed her last breath along with a happy smile engraved on her face. Zhang An felt very happy to end this life in a state of tightly hugging his only daughter.
"Ibuuu......" Shouted Zhang Qiaofeng when he realized that what he was hugging right now had become a lifeless corpse. He then cried as he continued to scream for his mother, even though he realized that this action could not revive his mother.
Now that his mother had left, Zhang An had left her and would never return for ever. Zhang Qiaofeng could only continue to cry and blame himself for his delay in coming to this place, if only he had come a little faster it was possible that his mother would not have died today.
Thinking up to here suddenly Zhang Qiaofeng's cry stopped then let go of his embrace, he smiled bitterly with a blank look.
"If only I had come sooner..... Now that mother has left because of my mistake, if I am a filial child this sin can only be redeemed with life. I must atone for my sins to my mother with this life!!"
After that unconsciously this girl then pulled out the dagger that was on her waist and pointed to her own neck.
"Mother.forgive your ungodly son this mistake."

The battle in the backyard is nearing its end. The arrival of Zhang Jun and Lin Tian was very influential in the course of the battle, their help being able to make the enemy's defenses go to pieces. Moreover, Zhang Jun, the sword that was in the hands of this elder was able to knock down an awful lot of enemies, so after his arrival only a short time the number of attackers was able to decrease drastically.
On the other hand, Lin Tian had also fought an all-out battle against them but as already explained, since his silat science was still raw, he had gotten quite a lot of injuries on his body. Even so, this child never stopped moving his accomplices to try to knock down the attackers.
After half an hour of fighting, the guards finally managed to push back and repel the enemy. They had managed to guard the residence of the Master and Grand Madam of the Zhang family with the death toll of eleven people, while approximately 15 people suffered injuries both severe and minor injuries.
Suddenly he remembered his young lady, as fast as lightning, he ran into the house and was about to check on her.
It was almost as if Lin Tian's heart was somersaulted as he saw the scene before him. Lin Tian saw his young Miss Zhang Qiofeng was about to thrust a dagger towards his own neck.
"Miss!!!" Because of his panic, Lin Tian directly hit Zhang Qiaofeng who was already preparing to kill himself.
"Bruuk...! Ouch!!" Zhang Qiaofeng and Lin Tian fell rolling on the floor of the house. Zhang Qiaofeng had not yet gotten up, Lin Tian was as fast as lightning then took out one of the daggers that was still on Zhang Qiaofeng's waist and threw it in any direction.
"Miss, what are you going to do??" Shouted Zhang Qiaofeng in curiosity.
Shortly after, elder Zhang Jun along with the other bodyguard warriors entered the space with a tense expression. They were startled to hear Lin Tian's screams shortly after this child entered the house.
"Huhuu..mom...mom has died, and it was all because of my mistake that came too late to help her." Zhang Qiaofeng's cry broke back "If mother is dead, why would I live in this world? I'd rather die!!" He continued while shouting and running towards his thrown dagger.
Back Lin Tian punched him and held both of his arms. "Miss relax!!"
However Zhang Qiaofeng continued to rebel and shouted "Mother died because of my mistake!!! I must die to make it up to you!! Lin Tian move aside!!"
Seeing that Zhang Jun immediately jumped behind Zhang Qiaofeng and his hand moved quickly to the path of blood that was on his back. After being successfully spotted, Zhang Qiaofeng's body felt paralyzed so that this girl could only sit limply while continuing to cry.
"Huuuhu...."
"Don't be like this Miss, if Madam sees it I'm sure she'll be sad." Zhang Jun calmed Zhang Qiaofeng down.
Lin Tian who was still tightly holding onto her young Miss hand immediately said "Miss, do you remember that afternoon?? Didn't you promise to always defend and be by my side? You also said so that I could hold Miss, so Miss..." Lin Tian paused for a moment to take a breath.
"...Please don't leave me alone Miss.Yesterday I have also said an oath to always protect you and your family, if Miss chooses to die now then who will defend me and who will I protect in the future...?" Said Lin Tian, subconsciously he had let out two tears from his eyes.
Instantly stopping Zhang Qiaofeng's cries, he was surprised to see the tears streaming down his bodyguard's face. Realize now that death is not the best option, quite the opposite.
He was then only able to bow his face deeply while saying softly "I'm sorry...Tian'er" This speech was so soft that no one else heard but Lin Tian.
Not long after that there was a noise from the front yard of the house followed by the entrance of several elders in a hurry.
Lin Tian and everyone who was there were shocked, they were not surprised at the arrival of the elders, either, yet they were more surprised at someone who was currently being carried by one of the elders in that limp and full of blood.
"Dad...!?"
