Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 211 Bring Back
Meanwhile, Zhang Ze, wielding a dagger, ran swiftly through the forest like a fierce cheetah, hurtling towards the small wooden cabin they had seen earlier.

At this speed, it didn't take him long to reach the place where the three big black dogs lay on the ground, unable to get up.

The effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet, so the three big black dogs remained in the same position as when they first fell to the ground.

Crouching down in front of the black dog closest to him, Zhang Ze's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He forcefully slashed the dog's neck with the dagger in his hand, and blood spurted out immediately.

He picked the fruits one by one before getting up and continuing his run into the wooden house.

He forcefully tore off a corner of the inner shirt beneath his cotton coat and walked heavily to the doghouse.

Besides the bits of meat, there was also a small toe bone on the edge of the overturned pot. I carefully picked it up, put it on a piece of cloth, wrapped it up, and put it in my pocket.

After a while, Zhang Ze wiped the tears from his eyes with his shoulder, stood up, and turned away quickly with somewhat heavy steps.

……

"Who?"

“It’s me, Ningning.”

"Brother Zhang, have you taken care of things?"

"Ah."

After discussion, Zhang Ze and Su Ning both agreed that it would be best to take Wu Meng back to the courtyard first.

Firstly, it would prevent Wu Meng from being exposed; secondly, although these injuries looked horrific, Su Ning had the ability to treat them.

Out of caution, and also because Wu Meng was wrapped in a quilt, the two decided not to go back during the day when there were many people around, but to wait until dark.

……

South Gate First Street, Su Family Courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Fu quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and rushed to the door, eagerly opening it.

"only you?"

When he realized that only his son was standing at the door, Zhang Fu pulled him inside and closed the door behind him, repeatedly asking, "Where are Ningning and Zhang Ze?"

"They haven't returned yet?"

"No, they said they'd be back soon. How come you, the one keeping watch, are back but they're nowhere to be seen? I hope nothing's happened to them."

Zhang Qi was quite surprised to hear that the two had not yet returned.

Ningning did say last night that she was just going to investigate and should be back soon. Even if there were any unexpected situations, it shouldn't have taken this long.

Could it be that, by sheer coincidence, the two of them ran into Wei Junjie again on their way there?

"What are you two talking about in the yard?"

Hu Yingtao peeked out from the kitchen, looked around but didn't see Su Ning. Her brows furrowed, but then she remembered that her son was her own flesh and blood and not someone she'd picked up from a garbage dump. The question that was on the tip of her tongue automatically turned into concern.

"Old man, you should let Aqi have a hot meal first. He's been running around all day and he must be starving!"

"Oh, right, I forgot in my haste. Qi, you eat first. If Ningning and the other two haven't come back by then, go check over there right away! Do you remember the approximate location Ningning mentioned yesterday?"

"I bought two big steamed buns during a break earlier, so I'm not very hungry. I'll go check on things first..."

"Dong dong~"

Zhang Fu slapped his thigh, his face lighting up with joy. He reacted even faster than his eldest son, immediately turning around and running to open the door, shouting, "You're back! You're back!"

Sure enough, standing at the gate were Suning and Zhang Ze.

Before he could even speak, he caught sight of the tightly wrapped quilt in Zhang Ze's arms, and his words caught in his throat.

"Godfather, let's go inside first and talk."

"Okay, okay, hurry, hurry up."

After the two men entered the door, each carrying something, Zhang Fucai quickly closed the door again and followed closely behind them.

"Does godmother have hot water?"

"Yes, both thermos flasks are full. Is that enough? If not, I'll boil more!"

"That's enough, big brother, please help me move the big bathtub, the thermos, and the bucket of cold water from the bathroom into my room. I need your help, godmother!"

"it is good!"

Although the mother and son were still confused about the situation, they immediately began to act upon hearing her words.

No sooner had Zhang Ze carefully placed her on the bed than Zhang Qi and his son Zhang Fu moved all the things she needed into the room.

"Let's go out first."

After Zhang Ze led the father and son out of the room, Su Ning closed the door, walked a few steps to the bedside, and lifted the quilt wrapped around her, revealing her abnormally pale and sickly face.

"this…"

There was a living person inside the quilt. Hu Yingtao, who was standing next to her, was startled. "Ningning?" She threw the quilt on the ground with great disgust and did not answer her godmother's question.

Meeting Wu Meng's timid gaze, she spoke softly and gently, "This is my godmother, Sister Wu Meng. Don't be afraid. We need to clean it up before we can apply medicine to your wound."

"Ugh... this is troublesome..."

"No trouble at all, godmother's towel."

"Hey, okay."

Calming herself down, Hu Yingtao tossed the towel hanging by the basin into it, then poured in hot water and added cold water, stopping only when the temperature was right.

After rubbing the towel and wringing it out slightly, she handed it to Su Ning, who was examining her wound.

"Godmother, the light above my head isn't bright enough. The flashlight is in my bookcase drawer."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yingtao immediately went to her desk to retrieve a flashlight from the drawer. When she turned on the flashlight and stood at the foot of the bed, shining the light on the person, the sight of that battered body once again made her choke up and almost burst into tears.

What a terrible thing to do!
The girl's body was almost entirely covered in cuts and bruises, with even that area riddled with tearing wounds.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy for a moment, and the eyes of the three women were filled with tears.

He carefully wiped her clean and applied medicine, then took a set of his own clothes and dressed her. Wu Meng, unable to hold on any longer, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Hu Yingtao gently tucked the blanket around Ningning's feet with a look of tenderness in her eyes, and then asked softly, "Ningning, what happened to her?"

I dare not openly say that Wu Meng was rescued from that beast's secret room, for fear that she would be reminded of Sister Zhang Qin and faint from the shock.

After tidying up the bottles and jars, Su Ning took her hand and said, "Godmother, let's go outside to talk."

With my godfather and older brother around, there will be someone to help me in case of any emergencies.

Nodding, and not wanting to wake the sleeping person, Hu Yingtao turned around without hesitation, following the force of the hand. However, seeing the quilt lying on the ground, the old man instinctively wanted to pick it up and tidy it up.

"Godmother, this quilt is filthy and disgusting, I'll burn it later!"

"This quilt looks quite new..."

"Godmother, listen to me! Even if we were to give it away to beggars, we'd be afraid it would dirty them!"

The chilling tone in her voice immediately silenced Hu Yingtao, as if she understood something.

The three men were waiting in the main room, and they all stood up as soon as the two women entered.

Zhang Fu and Zhang Qi wanted to ask what was going on, but when they asked Zhang Ze, he simply stood there like a wooden stake, not uttering a single word except for the chilling aura emanating from him.

Once everyone was seated on the sofa, they all turned their gazes to her. Su Ning clenched her fists and opened her mouth several times, but still couldn't utter a word.

"Her name is Wu Meng. Ningning and I found her in a secret room underground in the forest."

"That bastard Wei Junjie did it?!"

"God damn dog!"

Hu Yingtao recalled the girl she had just seen, and then thought of her own daughter. She covered her chest with her hand and hot tears fell, but she couldn't even utter a groan.

It could only open its mouth wide like a fish suffocating from lack of oxygen, and could faint at any moment.

"Godmother, Godmother, breathe, take a deep breath! Don't get agitated!"

Seemingly oblivious to the pain caused by her unconsciously pinching her hand, Su Ning anxiously used her other hand to continuously stroke her chest.

"Mom!" "Old woman!"

"I...I'm fine!"

How could she let anything happen to herself? She was determined to make that bastard suffer a terrible death!

Hu Yingtao tried her best to suppress the constant stinging pain in her chest, her red eyes filled with endless hatred.

Although they hadn't seen Wu Meng's injuries directly, her reaction made it easy for the father and son to imagine how shocking they must have been.

Just thinking about it made the two of them breathless with hatred, and they even wanted to rush into the Wei family and kill them without hesitation.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Qi suddenly stood up, startling Su Ning so much that she quickly spoke up.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Zhang Ze swiftly grabbed the man, pinned him against the door, and rendered him immobile.

"He's an animal, we're not. Zhang Qi, calm down!"

"calm!"

The large hand gripping his shoulder tightened again, and the pain instantly pulled Zhang Qi, who was in a frenzy, back to reality.

They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

Seeing the person covering their face and crying, even at this moment they still had to consider their parents and could only vent silently, Zhang Ze felt very bad.

The hand that had been gripping his arm slowly loosened and instead placed on his shoulder, patting him gently. The tall figure silently shielded him from his current disheveled and embarrassed state.
