Chapter 1239: A Meeting Across Half a Century

After Ning Wanwan poured a glass of water for each of the two old men, she quietly went to the kitchen and thoughtfully closed the door, allowing the two of them some space to be alone.

In the living room, Mr. Bai and Ning Hui were sitting like this, holding a lot of words in their hearts, but they couldn't even say a word.

Ning Hui's gray hair was meticulously combed, and on her old face, her already cloudy eyes were filled with tears, showing a somewhat decadent look.

She is almost seventy years old, and has been going through this for most of her life... After experiencing the ungrateful Ning Pei, the soft and cute Wan Wan, and the strong and lonely Xiao Bai, there have been so many ups and downs. After the rain has passed, life finally returns to peace!

But today... I heard about the original Ningjia Village again.

Things that had been deliberately buried in the depths of memory were suddenly unearthed by others and laid out naked in front of your eyes, soaked in blood!

Ning Hui couldn't tell, at this moment... what was her mood like?

Looking at Chief Bai opposite, Ning Hui tried hard to recall the appearance of the man at that time, but she couldn't match the appearance of the person in front of her.

For a long time, she sighed...

Have to admit...

She is old!

The old man's hair is gray and his eyes are almost blind...

After half a century, can she still recognize him?

Even if you can recognize it...so what?

At that time, she was only seventeen years old. She happened to save the person she loved, but she caused the whole village to be driven out and killed...

The shrill cries, the soaring fire, and the cold bayonets plunged into the chests of loved ones. The stench of blood was mixed with the scorched smell of burning, creating a cold, hellish smell.

She hid and watched everything happen, but could do nothing.

She didn't dare to speak or move. Thinking of her father's last instructions, she didn't even have the guts to go up and die!

That night was so tragic that Ning Hui tried her best to picture the executioner's face in her mind, and told herself never to forget it.

Even after decades, her hands could not help but tremble when she recalled this!

Mr. Bai looked at her worry and fear and asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with your body?"

Ning Hui pinched her trembling hands, sighed and shook her head.

Mr. Bai probably guessed something. After a long time, he said, "How have you been doing these past years?"

The plain questions were like reminiscing between old friends.

Then, he continued: "Back then...you saved me?"

Although it is a question sentence, the tone is completely affirmative.

Ning Hui just sighed: "What did you do back then?"

This reaction...is it an admission?

Mr. Bai felt happy, but after a moment, he fell silent again.

He trembled and said: "I'm sorry..."

Ning Hui waved her hands and her tone was calm and transcendent: "It's all over."

Mr. Bai said: "I know those things are very painful for you to recall, but... there is one thing I have to make clear. Can you... tell me the truth?"

Ning Hui nodded slowly.

Mr. Bai took a deep breath: "Why did that note appear in your hand? What happened when you hid me in the cave and went down the mountain to the town?"

"Note?" Ning Hui just had time to hear Wan Wan say that she found an old friend she had saved at that time, but she didn't expect that the other party would mention the note?

She didn't know what she recalled, and her face turned cold: "Didn't you give me the note?"
