Did the Queen’s Vest Fall Out?

San'er's eyes were obscure: "At that time, Chief Bai was still an ordinary militia captain. He was discovered when he went to the enemy camp to collect information, and fled all the way to the vicinity of Ningjia Village. After being rescued, they hid Chief Bai …”

Bai Qi's heart sank: "In order to find the old man, those people slaughtered the entire village?"

San'er nodded, his right hand shaking: "Half a year after the enemy massacred the village, Chief Bai led the army to fight back. Although he won the first battle, not a single person in Ningjia Village... survived. ! Later, he was stationed there for two months. Because of the presence of Chief Bai's army, many displaced people nearby came to seek refuge, and it gradually developed into what is now Ningjia Village."

After San'er finished speaking, he sighed faintly: "In that era, such things were not uncommon. But because he alone caused the destruction of the entire village, Chief Bai is still condemning himself for so many years, right?"

Bai Qi was speechless for the first time. She thought of her grandmother's pupils that instantly dilated during the dinner - if she hadn't suddenly remembered something extremely frightening, how could her grandmother have such a reaction?

However, when she was looking for Wanwan, she had obtained her grandmother's information, which showed that Ning Hui was just an ordinary rural woman. If that was the case, why did grandma show such a frightened expression?

She fell silent.

After San'er finished speaking, he sighed again: "Looking at Chief Bai's reaction just now, you know that he is still brooding about what happened back then! It's all my fault that I forgot about such an important thing just because I was just thinking about getting close to him. It broke his heart."

Bai Qin said, "I understand."

San'er raised his head: "By the way, you just said that two people changed their expressions during the meal. Who is the other one? Wan Wan? Her?"

Bai Qi said perfunctorily: "I will handle it, you go back first."

San'er completely lost the passion for digging gossips before, but said obediently: "Okay."

After he left, Bai Qi slowly moved to the old man's door. As usual, he should be taking a lunch break now. But after what happened at the dinner table, it’s strange that the old man can’t sleep!

She knocked on the door.

Not long after, a muffled voice came from inside: "Come in."

Bai Qi opened the door.

Mr. Bai was sitting on the bamboo lounge chair by the window. The sunlight was shining on him, and the reflection was quite warm.

"I know what you want to ask." Seeing her close the door, Mr. Bai took the initiative to speak, "You want to ask about Ningjia Village, right?"

Bai Qi shook his head: "I want to ask you what to eat at night?"

Mr. Bai was at a loss for words: "Aren't you curious about what's going on in Ningjia Village?"

"Are you curious? San'er has already told me." Bai Qi looked at him and said calmly, "Anyone would feel guilty and regretful about this kind of thing. But... the old man did nothing wrong. What, the people from the original Ningjia Village didn’t do anything wrong.”

"You see clearly." Mr. Bai looked out the window, tears gradually gathering in his eyes, "But I feel guilty."

Bai Qi said: "I would like to hear the details."

"You girl..." Mr. Bai laughed, "Shouldn't you care about my mood first?"

Bai Qi said bluntly: "Being able to survive all these years shows that your mental endurance is still very strong." She paused, "Of course, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

"You..." Mr. Bai shook his head and fell into reminiscence, "In order to hide me, everyone in Ningjia Village deceived the enemy, which eventually led to the massacre of the village... In fact, these are just beautifying claims of later generations. The real situation... …There was only one person who wanted to help me.”
