Flowers Bloom from Battlefield 123 Jun Hua Past Part One: Returning to the Jun Family

6 years before, in an abandoned village on mountain area.

A little girl around the age of 9 is walking along the mountainous road while swinging the rod on her hand happily. She had just gotten praise from her teacher because of her ability that had raised so much.

Her smiling face caused two dimples to appear on her cheeks. Her clothes may be ragged, but it doesn’t make her look ugly. Her face is truly one of the kinds, a really beautiful one. Despite her age are only 9, she looks like a porcelain doll, extremely cute and adorable.

The girl walked towards a small hut where a woman is sitting outside, making an embroidery.

“Mother, I’m home!” the girl yelled happily.

The woman stopped her embroidery and looks towards the girl with a slight smile. The woman is still in her 20-s, but her appearances makes her looks like someone in her 30-s. She looks haggard and thin, but there is dignified air around her making people cannot looks down on the woman.

“Hua’er, where did you go for a whole day? Mother has made your favorite soup.”

“Hua’er is playing,” the little girl, Jun Hua answered. “Can we eat now, Mother? Hua’er is hungry.”

Jun Hua mother, Jun Saya, smiled towards the girl and hugs her. “Come on in, we will eat first. Tomorrow it’s your turn to cook.”

“Yes Mother.”

Jun Hua eats the food happily like the usual day she spends here. She had long known that she was a noble daughter, but got thrown away with her mother to this mountain. Her mother hides that fact, but she knows it.

That peculiar day, there is someone who comes to their residence.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Yes? Who is it?” Jun Saya opened the door. There standing a young man in his teens looking highly similar with Jun Saya. He looks towards Jun Saya with an apologetic smile as Jun Saya stared at him with opened mouth and tears starting to pour out from her eyes.

“Jun Qing…”

“Sister, how are you?” The young man, Jun Qing, asked with heavy tone. He was tasked by his grandfather to find his sister. But, he would never expect that upon reaching the designated village, he will see his sister looking highly haggard.

His hearts ached when he looks at his sister appearance. He still remembers that his sister used to be the prettiest girl on the capital and many men are chasing after her. But, the downfall of their Jun family caused them to back off and leave the Jun family alone. Those who were close with them distanced themselves in fear of getting involved.

“Jun Qing… Oh, Jun Qing…”

Jun Saya can only cry when she sees her beloved brother face. She still remembers when she’s young. This boy would always say that he will protect her. Unfortunately, fate is not that kind as their family suffered numerous backside and she was forced to marry someone she didn’t even love. The marriage destroyed her youth.

Jun Hua looks at that man and she quickly stands between them. She won’t allow anyone to bully her mother. At that time she didn’t know that her mother is crying because she missed him. In her eyes, Jun Qing is bullying her mother.

“Don’t bully my mother!”

Jun Qing stared at the beautiful girl before him with astonished gaze. The girl’s beauty is truly one of the kinds. Despite living in this village where they need to work hard every day, her face is highly stands out and it makes even Jun Qing moved. This pretty face would surely invite numerous troubles in the future.

A doll-like girl is actually standing before him. He compared the girl face to Jun Saya and found out that not even his sister can be compared with the girl before him. His sister that once hailed as the most beautiful girl actually produced someone who’s even more beautiful than her.

“I’m not bullying your mother…” Jun Qing doesn’t know how to explain the situation.

Jun Saya hugs Jun Hua from behind. “It’s alright, Jun Hua. This is my brother, your uncle and he’s a kind guy.”

Jun Hua turned her small face and her hand wiped her mother tears.Her small face looks worried. “Then, why are you crying mother?”

“This is the tears of happiness and not sadness,” Jun Saya explained patiently. She turned her attention towards Jun Qing. “How is Jun family condition?”

“It has improved. At least, there is no more attack. They are letting us go because there are only two people left,” Jun Qing smiled wryly.

That smile makes Jun Saya tears comes out again. She understands their Jun family has lost. The two people remaining should be Jun Qing and her father. The others have died from the battle against those people. All this years, their fight turned into nothing. They achieved nothing from the battle they have fought bitterly.

“Why are you here Jun Qing?”

“Father told me to bring you back to the Jun family. The Lin family has let you go and no longer care about you,” Jun Qing answered.

He didn’t dare to look at them. The marriage of his sister is the plan of their family in order to gain some backing. But, in the end, the Lin family stopped halfway and left the two of them to their doom while at the same time tortured his sister. He cannot accept it, but there is nothing a youth like him can do. He joined the military, but his achievement is not really big. He’s still nothing.

Jun Saya never blames her family. This is their decision and she chooses to go with it. It was all for naught… and there is nothing she can do.

“Let’s return back.”
