Speaking of her father, Ji Mingzhu thought of the events of the past.
Her father died in battle, and her mother suddenly fell gravely ill.
Wolves surrounded their family, all hoping her mother would pass away.
Then, they could seize the inheritance, usurping the family estate.
As a child, her father didn't spend much time with her; Ji Mingzhu only knew her father as a hero who protected the country.
If you asked her what kind of person he was, Ji Mingzhu had no concept.
She only remembered that during festive times, her father would send her small trinkets and food only available at the border.
And the little wooden carvings he carved himself.
Handcrafted bows and arrows.
One year, he even sent her a chestnut-colored pony.
Her mother said that when her father returned home, he would personally teach her how to ride and shoot.
The memories of her father were quite vague; these were among the few things Ji Mingzhu could remember.
