There were constant thunder last night, so everyone only had a light sleep in the morning.

The autumn rain was still drizzling, and the entire Taiming Mountains were shrouded in fog.

Surrounded by water vapor, starting from the middle of the mountain, Taiming Mountain is hidden in the mist, like a fairyland.

This was the scene Bai Jingzhi saw when he came back from outside and looked up.

Her clothes were splashed with rain and the hem was wet.

Before entering the house, Bai Jingzhi wrung out the water from his clothes.

"What do they say over there? When are we going to set off?" Old Mrs. Zhou was the first one to come forward and ask.

Old Lady Bai pulled her aside and said, "Mother-in-law, let Jingzhi take a breath. It's raining, where can we go?"

Bai Jingzhi smiled sweetly at the two old ladies, "Sixth Grandfather said we can only leave after the rain stops."

The place where they settled was on relatively high ground, and the ground was wet, but there was no water accumulation.

It had been raining all night, and they had no idea how heavy the rain was.

Just now Wei Liu had arranged Wei Dayong and Zhou Yue'e to go and investigate, but they have not brought back any news yet.

Bai Jingzhi came behind the curtain and took out an identical coat from Guiyuantianju and put it on.

There are a lot of traditional Chinese style clothes, so she won't have to worry about having nothing to wear for the time being.

"Mom, Yao'er's fever has subsided. Please put her down and let her rest for a while."

Bai Jingzhi changed his clothes and came out to Wei Hongmian to persuade him.

The three old ladies didn't notice that she changed her clothes and were still chatting about family matters.

Bai Meidong was lying on the other side, still weaving straw sandals.

On the other side of her, there were already a dozen pairs of straw sandals piled up.

The solar lights in the tree house had been turned off, and only a faint light came in.

"You stay with your cousin, I'll go and help your aunt with a few massages." Wei Hongmian made room for her, and then pressed the acupoints on Bai Meidong.

"Cousin, this coat you are wearing..." Wei Duan was watching nearby, and he was the only one who noticed Bai Jingzhi's changes.

Bai Jingzhi whispered, "Mortals should stop asking about the affairs of fairies!"

Wei Duan was still a young man, and actually believed it. He covered his mouth and said, "Got it. The fairy's story cannot be leaked."

The actions of the teenage boy made Bai Jingzhi secretly laugh. Even the smartest ancient people would believe in these metaphysical things.

Bai Jingzhi had an idea, "Duan'er, let me ask you, how much do you know about the Wei family?"

Wei Duan was stunned and lowered his eyes, "What does Sister Jingzhi want to know?"

"Grandfather really didn't make any arrangements before he died in the city?" Bai Jingzhi mentioned Wei Shou inadvertently. She didn't believe that the head of a century-old family would be defeated so easily.

The father of Wei Duan and his sister is her uncle, and this man’s disappearance should not be that simple.

This dynasty was not like later generations, where one could know what was happening in the world without leaving home.

If you want to stay informed here, you need to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The Wei family’s news network should still be usable now, as carrier pigeons often come and go at Wei Liu’s place.

"I didn't know there was an arrangement!"

Wei Duan lowered his head and there was something wrong in his voice.

"What's wrong with you? Are you crying?" Bai Jingzhi felt puzzled.

The boys here mature early, and many of them are mature beyond their years.

Her cheap cousin seemed quite calm before, but it turned out he was just pretending.

Wei Duan twitched his nose and said stubbornly, "No!"

"Then tell me about the Wei family so I can think about our next move."

Bai Jingzhi quickly stuffed a candy into his mouth and said, "Stop crying. It's so ugly."

As the mellow aroma of milk entered his mouth, Wei Duan wiped his eyes twice with his sleeve to stop his tears.

Bai Jingzhi sat aside, quietly waiting for his cousin to calm down.

Eating desserts makes people feel happy, and in later generations many boys also like to eat sweets.

Using candy to coax people is quite appropriate here.

Any kind of sugar here is a rare commodity for ordinary people.

The Wei family fell from the clouds to the ground, and it was a terrible feeling.

Bai Jingzhi could not empathize with his feelings because she was not a member of the Wei family.

The jade pendant on her neck came from the Wei family. Her family would not seek revenge for the Wei family, but they would not mind helping the descendants of the Wei family.

The jade pendant is the origin of their space.

Both the home and villa are activated by this jade pendant.

These things are what their family relies on to survive in troubled times.

Wei Duan mistook her for a fairy, and she didn't want to explain.

The space cannot be exposed.

The two sat together, each thinking about their own things.

After Wei Duan finished eating the candy, he licked his lips, savoring the sweetness of the candy.

Then Wei Duan mustered up his courage and said, "Cousin Jingzhi, can you give my sister one piece? She loves candy the most. Usually, mother only lets her eat one piece a day. Now--"

"Okay, she has hers." Bai Jingzhi couldn't bear to see his cousin cry. "Tell me about the Wei family, and I'll give you a piece of candy every day."

Anyway, there are plenty of them in the space. If there are really no more, there are other snacks, so there is no need to worry about not being able to appease the brother and sister.

Wei Duan was a little happy and shook Bai Jingzhi's clothes. "Are you really going to give us a piece of candy every day? The candy with milk flavor just now."

"really!"

Bai Jingzhi was already a little impatient. It was really hard to understand how a family like theirs would not be short of sugar.

"It's not that we are greedy. At that time, Lingzhou City was besieged and my grandfather had the grain in the warehouse moved away, leaving only enough food for the people in the city for seven days."

Wei Duan felt a little sad when he mentioned it.

In my grandfather's eyes, the status of common people is higher than that of the descendants of the Wei family.

If their Lingzhou City wins, everyone will be happy and the grain will come back.

If Lingzhou is defeated, the food cannot be given to those people at a low price.

"The food supply in the mansion had already run out that day, so my sister and I had to eat candy to fill our stomachs."

The women of the Wei family died in the city, and Wei Dayong went to pick them up without bringing any dry food. When the two children were hungry along the way, they ate candies.

The two of them didn't dare to eat it all at once. The food Wei Dayong found was too hard for them to bite.

Wei Dayong is ruthless and tough, and he cares a lot about his two children, but he is a little careless.

Some aspects cannot be taken into account.

This is also one of the reasons why the brother and sister are so close to Bai Jingzhi and his family of three.

"The other reason is that you don't trust them either?"

Bai Jingzhi showed suspicion. Logically speaking, Wei Liu and his son had been in contact with these two siblings for a longer time than their own family. This shouldn't be the case.

"On the day the city fell, I was in the corner of the study. That day, all the books in the study were moved to an unknown place by my grandfather, and he didn't notice me."

Wei Duan slowly told what happened that day.

He didn't know who his grandfather was talking to, he only heard his grandfather cursing loudly: "Concubine Lian and the second son are such ruthless people, eating the Wei family's food and yet they dare to smash the Wei family's pot!"

Then my grandfather took the letter and strode away with a man in black, and never came back.

When Bai Jingzhi heard this, he was slightly stunned. Could the Second Brother and Concubine Lian be those two people?
