Chapter 1236 There Was Once a Person
Ning Hui?
She is from there, so she naturally knows where to find sweet potatoes.
Mr. Bai took a deep breath. Decades ago, there was a girl... who also dug sweet potatoes all over the mountains and fields for him.
When Ning Wanwan saw that the old man was silent, he thought of something: "By the way, last time at the dinner table, Brother San'er said... Grandpa has been to Ningjia Village before and won a battle there!" At this point , she deliberately covered her mouth, intercepted the next words, and lowered her head in annoyance, like a child who had done something wrong.
Mr. Bai was a little surprised and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Ning Wanwan shook her head and hesitated: "Well... Third brother said that something bad seems to have happened."
"Something bad?"
Ning Wanwan frowned, her delicate face looked like a small bitter gourd. It was obvious that she wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she might say something wrong and hurt her grandfather's heart. Seeing her like this, Mr. Bai couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to ask anything, just ask it. How uncomfortable is it to hold it in your heart?"
Ning Wanwan bit her lip, and after a moment, she asked tentatively: "Grandpa...was he injured at that time?"
Mr. Bai nodded: "Yes."
Ning Wanwan said: "Then grandpa... must have suffered a lot, right?"
This question got into Mr. Bai's heart. He had to say that Wanwan was a hundred times better at chatting than her sister!
If you were a novice, it would be weird if you didn't just say "It's okay as long as you're still alive"!
Thinking of the conversation he had with the girl in the study last time, Mr. Bai realized something belatedly: "Did your sister say something to you? That's why you deliberately ran to the old man to ask these questions?"
Ning Wanwan smiled and said, "Ah, you were spotted?!" Then she sat aside obediently, "Sister wanted to ask Grandpa something, but she was afraid that she would make Grandpa sad by speaking too directly, so she sent me to ask."
"You two!" Mr. Bai said with fake anger, "You can ask whatever you want, and you are going in such a big circle."
Ning Wanwan consciously told everything she knew before: "My sister said that grandpa was injured at the time and was hidden at home by a girl named Juanzi. As a result, people in the village found out about it because it was under the jurisdiction of the enemy. Within the range, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so they quickly asked Juanzi to send grandpa away! As a last resort... she had no choice but to hide grandpa in the mountains! Later, the village..."
Mr. Bai calmed down his thoughts and added: "In the beginning, she hid me in the cellar. There was not much food in the house. She saved her own rations for me. She was also worried that I wouldn't have enough to eat. She went everywhere to pick up wild sweet potatoes and came back... ...A girl has to hide it from her parents during the day and can only go into the mountains at night. It's so dangerous but she didn't tell me..."
Ning Wanwan listened quietly.
"I stayed in the cellar for two days. On the third day, her parents found me. They were angry and scared. They were afraid that someone would report them and accuse them of betrayal! Taking advantage of the darkness, Juanzi took me to hide. When we entered the mountains, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold on, so I gave her the secret message and asked her to wait until the news calmed down before handing it over to the base in the town.
As long as the information can be sent out, my own life doesn't matter! But Juanzi... she felt that she had no way to save me, so she could only find my companions to save me! I asked her to calm down before going down the mountain, but she was afraid that my injury would not be treated for too long, so she went to the town in the dark after leaving the cave. "
Without any experience in counter-reconnaissance, and the timing of his appearance was so coincidental, how could he not be targeted by the enemy?
